Layer 2 is for the normal textures labelled nrm.  Layer 5 is for ghost textures if the character appears as a ghost.  Originally I just deleted them like you suggested but I noticed that some normal maps are different to the texture so didn't apply to the model correctly.  I had to reupload 6 or 7 models after noticing my error.

Pretty much that, yeah. Make sure you check the UV mapping on those "Layer" polygon groups, and you'll see what Trikeboy means by that. Most characters use a completely different, condensed set just for that purpose. Annoying, yes, but it's a necessary inclusion. The "Layer 5" (a.k.a. "All" in the game's data) isn't as necessary since there doesn't seem to be a texture that fits 'em, it's probably for shader effects.

How long does it normally take for a submitted model to be put up for download? I'm trying to get clock town to make a stage model import for sm4sh 3ds.

Sorry if this is kind of off topic.

We're doing our best to check through the submissions whenever we're able to. Sucks that models take significantly longer to check through compared to sprites, textures or even sounds.
