I'm writing a testing Mod but when I launch the game I get this error on the console and my block is without a texture, I've tried putting the texture in my -\mods\minetest\"modname" folder but nothing.
I've also tried in the -\textures\all folder. but still nothing.
maybe I'm trying with the wrong folders?

What size are the textures?

the normal size of the default texture, I copied the texture of the brick block and changed it.
the resource is the brick item, still from the clay brick of the game

Hmm is the init.lua written correctly? Are the image names match up with what's written?

maybe this can help you, is the init.lua of the folder -\mods\minetest\trenton

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: minetest.register_craft({ type = "cooking", output = "trenton:desertbrick", recipe = "default:desert_stone", }) minetest.register_craftitem("trenton:desertbrick", { description = "Desert Bricks", inventory_image = "trenton_desert_brick.PNG", }) minetest.register_craft({ output = 'trenton:mattoniarancioni', recipe = { {'trenton:desertbrick', 'trenton:desertbrick'}, {'trenton:desertbrick', 'trenton:desertbrick'}, } }) minetest.register_node("trenton:mattoniarancioni", { description = "Mattoni Arancioni", tile_images = {"trenton_orange_bricks.PNG"}, inventory_image = "trenton_orange_bricks.PNG", is_ground_content = true, groups = {cracky=3}, drop = 'trenton:mattoniarancioni', })

I put a block and a items in the same init.lua file, can this be the problem?

the texture files are:
trenton_desert_brick.PNG
trenton_orange_bricks.PNG

and actually they're in both in the "-\mods\minetest\trenton" folder and in the "-\textures\all" folder

oh, I actually made some change at the names, now the errors it gives me are:

Put the textures in "/mods/minetest/[modname/textures". They must have lowercase .png extensions.

Trenton: get yourself the GIMP http://gimp.org and you know why they won't load, Minetest won't support a .PNG but a .png will work. Lower case must BE USED. And yes they must be in /trenton/textures

Calinou, quit beating me to posts.

perfect, thanks guys, It was the .PNG in uppercase the problem. I use paint for edit the textures still. :P

I'm downloading Gimp now. it will also remove the white background on the items I think ^^

JUst make them transparent, .png supports this.
