the only way i know how to do something like that, is to unwrap the object, and create a texture that with the same UV coords, so when you apply the texture, it wraps around the object.

if you need help doing this, i could probably help you out, this is how i do my texturing.

In Milkshape you unwrap diferent groups individualy. You dont have to break your model if it is already broken in to the groups.

If your model is just one group than you have to make diferent parts as diferent groups.

I would recomend you to learn useing Lithunwrap since Milkshape inbuild unwrap is not that good and in general its suficient for unwraping non organic models (box shaped) If you want to unwrap let say human body its realy difficult.
You can download Lithunwrap at Wan B's or Simple's wep page I think. -its free.
At firsth sight it may looks bit confusing and complex but its worth learning. Afther some efort you will find it preaty easy and powerful. It also read and export milkshape format.
