#Attempting to make a mod for an additional tent like object (maybe structure?)

Using the Terramart graphic and the basic green tent .object and .frames files as templates, I made a quick thing just to see if I could figure out how to add an object.

I could not. Presemably I'm missing something very obvious but despite a bunch of different changes, I couldn't figure it out.

I just put it up on GitHub so that you could possibly see exactly what I'm missing.

The actual issue

In game, I can give myself the item, but when I try to place it, there is no visable "about to place" thing (I don't know the term). If I just go ahead and place it anyhow, it's completely invisible, BUT I can press E to sleep in it, as expected... even though nothing is visibly there.

Appreciate any help, thank you.

It's because of this:

"sitCoverImage" : "./DockBuildingOccupied.png",

... and this:

"dualImage" : "./DockBuildingEmpty.png:default",

Starbound does not assign any special meaning to . and .. as directory names in asset paths. Get rid of the ./ part to load a file in the same asset directory as the config it's loaded from.

Oh I figured it out!
