normal maps being weird (again)

edit #2... it was the pants mesh i had underneath the skirt. dunno why. its fixed now.

edit to add: here is a video i recorded with completely blank (single color, white or grey) textures, including a plain spec and normal map with no detail on them at all. it shows the unwanted markings clearly.

me again... i thought i solved the issue before but apparently not. (i think i just accidentally had my game settings down and couldn't see the normal mapping at all.)

here is a link to my package file... i dont know what the issue with the normal map is. no matter what, or what isn't, on the normal map, if there is one at all instead of just 'make blank' in s4s, it does.. whatever this weirdness is.

what the normal map looks like currently:

only a star emblem on the chest and bone motif on the gloves should be doing anything but...??? like i said, no matter what the normal map actually looks like, it's doing this. always in the same spots.
