Planet Color Map Not Working

[wpetula]

KSP BUILD / OTHER MODS

-KSP 1.8.1 

-Kopernicus 1.8.1

-KittopiaTech 1.8.1.

PROBLEM OVERVIEW

I'm working on a planet pack, and I keep encountering a problem where the color map does not load properly. The planet itself loads in fine, but the Scaled Space view of the color map is just black. If I use KittopiaTech to generate a color map, the problem disappears, but if I close and reopen the game, it comes back.

HOW I MOD

When creating cfg files, I use a water map for the Scaled Version texture. The water map is just the water on a transparent background (in the image above, the water is green). I use a color map (contains everything but the water) for the PQS VertexColorMap texture.  

WHAT I HAVE TRIED

I have tried deleting KittopiaTech's generated maps, deleting the planet's custom cache, replacing the textures, switching the textures between .dds and .png, etc.., but the problem still persists.

Can anyone help me work this out? It would be highly appreciated.
