(SOLVED) Textures are completely white on kart (QUESTION)

I'm trying to make a custom kart but I can't get the textures working properly. I didn't make the vehicle model, so that's why that has a working texture, but the character I modelled is completely white. I can't export as a kart for some reason, so I have to manually export as a .spm. If anyone knows how to make the "Export STK Kart" button work too that would be great :) (and that could be the problem).

In addition to making sure you followed all the instructions in that link benau shared, you can also try looking at the stdout.log files in the supertuxkart config folder ( https://supertuxkart.net/FAQ , "Where is the configuration stored?" near the bottom). This may show why the texture is missing, I would try using CTRL+F in that .log file to search for the filename of the texture.

I found an error in the stdout.log file that gave away the problem. The image I was using for the material was a duplicate that was outside the path (it was in my documents folder instead of the kart's folder). I replaced it and the texture works again. Thanks for the help! :D

Incase you're wondering what the error was:
[warn ] Material: Cannot determine texture full path: vlc texture.png
