First time making a mod, need help cuz the tutorial are outdated

Hi! i'm new here, so recently i've leard how to do pixel art, and since i enjoy SRB2 alot, i decided to make a mod for it, I watched tutorials on Youtube and some forums of SRB2, but alot of them are outdated to the recent version, i tried testing but the appered the error: "R_LoadSkinSprites: no frames could be found for sprite SPR2_STND" , i did some research and sayed that it was outdated.
I'm not that good at understanding this things, and is my first time making it.
The mod is a very simple custom character, just a quick project to be a gift for my bf, so nothing fancy
would help me alot if there's more recent tutorials.
thanks for reading!

Here some of the work i've fineshed, and the error message:
(the mod is still not complete, i just need to do tests to see if it works)

This error means that the sprites are either stored in the wrong place within the PK3, or the sprite names are formatted incorrectly. SPR is simply the prefix the game uses for sprites, STND is the first set of sprites the game tries to find. That's why the sprite at the top is STNDA1.

I see you've created a PK3. Did you create folders within the PK3? Character sprites must go in a folder named "Skins" within the PK3. It's possible the tutorial you were looking at used WAD, which is different from a PK3 and structured differently. WADs put everything in one place, PK3s use folders.

The Wiki's Custom Character Tutorial says it is outdated, but it's not really. It still should work.

Tysm!! you really help me!
