All I have is a simple orca skin just recolored.
I have made/used orca skins before and they worked, but now for some reason they just show up as normal orcas.
All my other skins (like 190+) are still working.
Also I don't know what this counts for, but I have an orca flame skin that is still working.
Here is a orca skin file that I made real quick to test, maybe somebody else could catch what I might have missed.

I am pretty sure I used the right settings seeing how I have made A LOT of skins (including orca skins that worked).
I even dug up old orca skins that I made to see if they would work again but they of course did not.
Also I just reinstalled Renegade the other day and that did not help either (apparently).
Plus I have made other skins lately that have worked.

It has nothing to do with the settings.
Renegade actually has three orca skins if I remember it correctly
always.dat
01_orca.dds
v_gdi_orca.dds
these ones are mostly used in flyovers and have transparant windows.
always2.dat (in here is the orca you need)
v_gdi_orca_m (sixe 512x512 dxt1)
Westwood made multiple orca's with a tiny changes. Same for the transport chopper. (if you want to retexture that it is in always2.dat)
Your skin was 256x256 I rezised it probably it is ugly but I suggest you remake your skin or if you like it how it is now ->
(and that is your work to make it right )

The solution was this ->
always.dat
01_orca.dds
v_gdi_orca.dds
always2.dat
v_gdi_orca_m.dds
There are 3 orca skins. The model that renegade uses for the orca that players can pilot is v_gdi_orca_m.w3d. Thus the skin you must edit is v_gdi_orca_m.dds and it is located in always2.dat
