However, I have noticed that, even if I save my terrain file as "terrainone", it shows up as "terrainone_hmp_000" inside of WED. In the case of tex_name, what does the engine see as the entity's name? The exact name I entered when I saved the file, or does it add the file type on the end (Ex: .mdl, .hmp, ect.)?

It is the file name (xxxxxx.MDL), or you can check it in WED->entity->properties->File.
