Okay so a summary of this is basically,
I dun messed up whilst moving some masks around in my FH folder.
I don't know how, because before the update n' stuff I did this stuff all the time. Guess I'm just rusty. lol
Anyways to what's the problem.
Small Info: I kept my old FH folder named 'Feral Heart' just because I had old textures from the old maps, etc. When I redownloaded it when the update first came out I had it create the main FH folder as 'Feral Heart NEW' just for my sake.
Now, I wanted to move some fur textures, eye masks, pawpad masks/textures and, some nose texture into current FH. I wasn't worried at all because I did this all the time usually, just switching around textures etc. Well, after getting the masks n' textures all copied and pasted on my desktop to move 'em into my current FH folder. I, of course made sure everything was named properly and had the correct .png or .jpg etc because I know that'll mess it up from previous exprience. But, I had missed the head fur textures .jpg to .png by accident. After rebooting and obviously realizing I went back and corrected it. What seemed to bug me was not that nothing was messed up yet but, after that the whole entire head was black. Not the eyes, body, tail, etc, just the entire head. Which got me confused, I had checked the .png/jpg, made sure all the masks were correct by comparing with my old FH folder and doing the same before I even moved the files. At this point in time I rebooted again because I had fixed the .png/jpg [I had fixed a texture I missed while switching them, specifically the nose one, the color wasn't showing up in-game for the nose, so I went through and realized one of the masks had the old default one still, so I edited it in gimp to fit mine. Which was the first reboot mentioned earlier. Which gave me the black faced canines (I was editing only the cmasks/cshades)] This time when I rebooted for the second time it booted up all nice n neat but, then when it came to the characters screen it froze, said 'FeralHeart.exe has stopped working...' so, used to getting this when I played around with textures I made sure to recheck AGAIN, because I'm known to mis-see stuff.
The reason why I'm writing this is because well, everything is still the same, exactly named correctly, .png/.jpg's all correct, all files that correspond to the other are edited like the others [New nose texture = fix the white area on the nose (Where I assume the color is placed via code to match up with the texture.)
Why I'm mainly confused is mainly because I DID NOT edit any notepad files w/ the code, just merely edited the textures so it fits up with the new ones, which is how I usually did it and it worked for the past 3 and a 1/2 years of my time on FH.
Thank you,

Also. I'm very sorry if I make little sense or rambling, or if everything isn't that neat.
I hope this makes sense to anyone and, if you are having trouble reading it I'll try and reply with a clearer version. I was just in a rush to get it out before I forgot anything important.
