The key is to rename the images. I made up a convention. Color Map is for your color map. Bump Map is for your bump map. Specular Map is for your specular map. Pretty simple, eh?
VSS will automatically rename these for you when you are designing a template. You just have to ask it. Connect a new Image_Map to Diffuse_Color. Then using the Python buttons, click on Designer, and then click on Auto Rename Images. VSS will see that you're using that image map as a color map and name it Color Map. Connect a new Image_Map to bump and click Auto Rename Images - it will automatically name that Bump Map. You can even do this with some intervening nodes between the Poser Surface and the particular map. But this sometimes gets confused, especially if you have the map connected to more than one thing. For example, if you connect an Image_Map to Diffuse_Color and Bump, it may make the wrong decision.
Once a map is renamed, it won't be renamed again.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
