Texture error...

[Bombadil]

Hi everyone. This is my first attempt at a mod ever. Rimworld is such a great game it has inspired me!

I'm trying to start off by making a small mod that adds a bee. I've made some textures but I can't get them to load - I just get pink squares and this error:

Failed to find any texture while constructing Multi(initPath=Things/Pawn/Animal/Bee, color=RGBA(1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000), colorTwo=RGBA(1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000))

I've searched for ages on the forums but couldn't find a solution or even a simple example to follow - I have tried looking at some other mods for examples but they seem to do a lot more and it is confusing (I have no coding skills). I tried some stuff with graphic_single but had no luck. My error is perhaps a naming convention error or something simple - I am out of ideas...

I have attached my files also.

If anyone could offer some advice I would greatly appreciate it!

oh it's just the lower/upper case letter in "Bee"
texture paths all look for "Bee" and the texture itself is just "bee" so there =P
also your sideview needs to be flipped around unless you intended them to fly true skyrim dragon way

[Bombadil]

Thanks for that Shinzy, with changing the path to lowercase the textures are loading perfectly now! And I flipped the side view too.
I literally spent hours trying to figure it out. Coding can be brutal for beginners! Or I'm just a bit thick...

[Shinzy]

Or I'm just a bit thick...

Yes =P
I most definately didn't wrestle with texture paths for several hours over the span of two days when I tried to make my first mod thingie.
You're just thick

Stuff like this happens to all of us

I once spent multiple hours figuring out why my mod was failing only to discover there was a stray 's' somewhere random in the xml. I probably tried to Ctrl-s save without ctrl, but that cost me two days' worth of frustrated tweaking and reloading the game...

And that's why 2 pairs of eyes are often worth more than just 2+2, and sometimes less...
