Techne texture weirdness [Solved]

[Exo594]

I'm attempting to make an armor model in Techne by roughly following this tutorial: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/mapping-and-modding-tutorials/2175721-1-7-10-coding-custom-3d-armor-models-video-series, and I've got an issue when I attempt to import the textures. I've attempted to look up answers online, but I'm not able to find anything significant aside from one very poorly described answer and a handful of unanswered topics.

Here's the model as is. I started off with a re-sized texturemap (64*64), and used the Bipedal Model Base.

Here's the result I get when I import the texture-map back in.

These are the texture-maps, I've not moved the base Biped parts from that map.

 

What's causing this? Would it be the blocks I've added to the base model? Is it "legal" to add blocks to the base models?

 

What can I try to fix this?

 

Does this error even matter? I've yet to attempt this in code, is it likely that this would resolve itself in code?

That does seem weird. I haven't used Techne in a while -- I found it was easy enough to figure out models based on cubes by coding directly -- but I seem to remember that scaling the texture could cause some trickiness. Do you get the same problem when use default texture size?

I tried that, but it put some of my parts' textures outside the space.

 

I did manage to solve this, though. I moved the map-areas for the head's added "horn" blocks down, and left the top 64*32 as a plain "Biped" map. After re-loading Techne, it worked.

Thank you for your input, though. I'll be attempting to make use of some of your tutorials for the next step.
