custom item Custom items don't show up in character select screen

[CloverNoir]

It's not game breaking or anything, but the icons of the custom items that my character spawns with don't show up in character select. Am I missing a file or a line of code?

Their inventory icons do show up once I spawn, so I don't know why they don't show up in this screen.

I'll leave the luas of both items attached as well just in case.

It is honestly easier to just register your images rather than manually overriding them for every instance they are called.
You can place this anywhere in your prefab file outside of the functions before the return.
I like placing mine right after the assets and prefabs tables at the top.
 

RegisterInventoryItemAtlas("images/inventoryimages/gutsybat.xml","gutsybat.tex")

Attached is a slightly modified version of your gutsybat file to make it easier to understand what to do.

This seems to be a better practice in general, it's more compatible with anything that needs to access the inventory image, such as Item Info, otherwise that mod spams the client log with complaints about being unable to find the inventory image for the equipped item. I'd also speculate that it's lighter on the games performance as well.
