RE: Maya crashes when exporting things with OpenCOLLADA

It's what you plug into the color-slot in Maya's material. It's usually called a diffuse texture, so I forgot Maya simply calls it color. (And uses the name "diffuse" for a different value in the material) Sorry about that.
Here's a little cheat-sheet for the several maps that you can apply to a model and how they're often called Big Grin

Diffuse = color
Specular = shininess
Gloss = shininess falloff (plastic ball = high gloss, brushed metal = low gloss. Both are shiny, but the falloff is different.)
Normal = an improved version of a bump map that fakes surface details.
Alpha = translucency (Black is completely translucent, white is completely opaque.)

Note that in hpl, specular and gloss are merged into one map. The red channel contains a greyscale spec, the green channel a greyscale gloss. You can use a simple greyscale image instead, but your spec and gloss will always have the same value which might not give you a perfect result.
