I am creating a mod that adds a new melee weapon, and I want to make it have an image in-game, instead of the generic gray bar. I’ve made a png image 128x32 and have copied some data from the Chesthole Indicator mod in an attempt to get the desired effect.

But the tileset json file does not appear to be changing anything.  
What do I need to do in order to make this work?  
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

It should be the tileset’s id like:  
` "compatibility": ["MSX++DEAD_PEOPLE","UNDEAD_PEOPLE","Xotto+"]`
