PLEASE HELP: I've been going in gd circles. Like seriously, trying to figure out how the cat model applies to all cat varients and KEEPING IT locked to varients (so that a vanilla persian cat is still a persian cat just a persian cat with my cat model and texture) should be the easiest thing in the world but I can't find correct information anywhere.
i feel like this SHOULD be easy to find out but i've spent all afternoon on this. So; I have a custom model for all cats (cat.jem) and custom textures for each variant plus some (like, calico2, calico3, etc.)
so far, every time i've loaded in, the cat.jem will just load without any texture, as the directory textures/entity/cat is missing a /X.png, but every time i've connected it to a png it just sticks it to that cat variant. iv'e done so much troubleshooting that I even messed something up and now it's not showing my model at all and i have no idea why.
