Custom Character launch freezing, invisible character animation model (Various other issues)

[TheReaper.]

Hello everyone, recently as an avid player of Don't Starve Together I decided to try and make a mod. I had been originally using this tutorial 

which was fairly understandable, however as a beginner I am facing an array of challenges thus far, and I cannot find the solution to them

Issues

- Character Portrait not appearing

- Character model being invisible

- Launching a server, and then picking the character never loads, it doesn't freeze though, just never loads in

- Proper Texture alignment

If anyone could help out on these issues, I would be very grateful, and if there's any pointers I would appreciate those too. Additionally, if it's required of me to post more information, I would gladly do so.

Thanks!

Yes, at the moment it will be hard to help without seeing the mod. But before i suggest you to verify that you have all the name right in the file. Meaning : you renamed all that should be renamed, with names in the right format, and not touched the things that shouldn't be renamed. Because lot of errors come from this.

I have renamed the files using Notepad++, alas I could have done something wrong, thank you so much for the reply though.

I have uploaded the file here

did you replaced the "ESC_TEMPLATE" by "NAME", the "esc_template" by "name" ? Did you keep the esc_template name when it was needed, or did you replace it all ? Because as far as i know not everything is to replace and case is important.

(Sorry can't look at mod now)

From my point of view, the tutorial said to replace all ESC_TEMPLATE and estemplate by the character name in the different sizes, delthea, and DELTHEA. However, I could be wrong, I'll check with the original file, it could be an uppercase issue

In .lua files, you replace everything as far as i remember. It's not the case as far as i remember in .xml files (but i could be wrong), i think you have a .tex files for replacement rules in these cases.

When I tried renaming the files to try something different, I would get errors such as this

Furthermore, I tried using the original template mod, which worked fine on my end. I tried tinkering with some textures; such as the portrait, however it didn't show up, it was blank similar to the listed problems on the first post

I also noticed that it wouldn't compile properly and the CMD gave me this when I would launch it
