Hey shadow.

You should be able to get your texture to show up by using this command in your md3.cfg:
md3skin Torus Portal_Torus.jpg

when using the md3skin command the middle word Torus must match up with whatever your objects name is in blender.
hope that helps. take care.

md3load tris.md3 md3skin Torus Portal_Torus.jpg mdlscale 5000

Hey shadow it took me about 15 minutes but I finally figured out your problem.
The problem was the image you were using as a texture is 1000 by 1000.
You need to scale your image to a binary friendly number such as 256 x 256, 512 x 512, 1024 x 1024 - basically powers of 2

my cfg for your model goes like this.
md3load tris.md3
mdlscale 750
md3skin Torus skin.jpg

alls I did was open your texture in the gimp, resized it to 512 x 512 and renamed it to skin.jpg
use whatever names or mdlscale you'd like.
heres a screenshot below to show it is working.

I would post back a zip of the working md3 and texture but I think that'd defeat the purpose of you learning how to do it yourself.
One suggestion I have is you should turn off your UV image layer before saving your final skin so you don't see black UV lines all over your model in game.

Hope this helped.
-take care.
