Ok so I lied! I have another question. This is the PNG that I am exporting out. Does Which one is the actual texture that the map is using. Or is there a way to combine them?

Thanks!

You have to load the model into a 3d modeling program (whichever one doesn't matter). Then, add that texture to the model, setting it to map to UV coordinates. The UV coordinates are imported with the model; the texture isn't, because I didn't spend enough time to make it do that.

Once you have it loaded, look at the UV layout to find the parts that are used, but know that the remaining parts may be used in weather. Note the purple areas on the right side of the screen:



Additionally, powerful 3d modeling programs offer you an option to bake your texture into a new UV map. With blender, that would result in a smaller image with just the parts of that image that are used by that model.
