If so, it can only be because the dds file is formatted incorrectly (which I doubt as it actually does show up), but png files are not the format to use for games like these (although they do work in many cases).

I think the issue here is rather simple but annoying. If you name a file the same as something that already exists in the game, the engine might confuse them and pick the wrong one. Therefore, I suggest that when you make a new entitiy out of an existing one, copy it but also RENAME it. Just make sure to update any references, because file names are also present inside some of the files.

I would start copying the .dae and .dds files (and modify it). Rename those and open the .dae file with a text editor. Find the line that points to the texture and update it to your new name. After that, open the .dae in the model viewer to generate a new .msh and .mat file. After that, it might be easier to create a new entity instead of trying to port the old one, so import the mesh into the model editor, add a body, properties and set the type to Note. Save as custom entity.

If you need any further instructions I can explain some more if you don't understand all this. Good luck!

Do you think you could tell me which line exactly in the .dae?
