Cylinders turn black in milkshape and texture is screwed up ingame.

[Ladios]

So my process of making some... *cough* guns has been stopped as I cannot seem to find any solution to this problem. When making the model in milkshape, all cylinders turn black in the preview window if I have the veiw set to textured or smoothshaded (flatshaded looks normal for some reason). I will shown an illustrantion of it in milkshape.

Is the veiw from the texture window. As you can see, there are several problems where I have used cylenders for their higher amount of sides thus ability to show more detail. Note: this model is fully textured and the two cylinders are the same color according to the texture assignment as the image suggests.
Ingame you can see how the texture is still there, yet appearntly darkened for being on the cylinder for some unknown reason.

Can anybody tell me why this is or how to fix it?

Here is a picture of the smoothshaded view in the preview window.

If some of the shapes are turning black, don't worry, i get that too, i know just how to fix it

Go into the Groups tab on the right (or the left), then check Auto Smooth
