I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or not so if it isn't please let me know. Anyways I've been up all night long working on an HD skin, I finally got it done for the most part. However I'm having a few issues that I don't know how to fix. The first and main issue I'm having is even when I upload my skin to the MLP servers, as soon as I log into singleplayer/multiplayer I get a Daring Do skin instead of my custom one. In case if you were wonding, I'm using a skin size of 256x256. One other thing that I'm having some issue figuring out, is how to make my skin's wings look more like bat wings. Honestly this is my first time making an MLP skin and I'm just going off of what I can. Can someone please help me, even though this is probably just a noobs error.. Also if possible, I would like some help/feedback on how to make my wings into bat wings.

If you share your skin here, it'll be easier to diagnose the issue (i.e. rule out bad control pixels and such).
As for bat wings, you could try doing something similar to this post (the first picture).
There's also this one:

Obviously much smaller, so you'd have to interpret how it'd be at 256^2.

I'm using photoshop to create the skin as well, I forgot to mention that earlier. The white in the file is accually transparrent but its hard to tell. I also messed up with my file size.. I'm using a 512x512 instead of a 256x256

Okay, so, that's a .jpg. Was that Imgur's conversion, or did you accidentally export your file as .jpg instead of .png?

It was imgur's conversion. Here we go. PNG file format this time.

Edit: Ok I'm just gonna change the photo in this spot here instead of reposting the file over and over again. I also changed the vallue like you said.

Your control pixels are invalid values, and there are a few spurious ones scattered around it (though that could be from the conversion).
In the upper left corner, clear everything out there, and in the corner pixel, put #88CAF0
That was .jpg artefacting from the conversion.

most of the time it because of a wrong trigger pixel, It have to be very accurate or it will not work,

I still don't know why my skin isn't working. I'm pretty dang sure that the trigger pixels are done right.

I changed it to alicorn (since you had unicorn originally, and I'm guessing you want some form of horn) and quickly added wings with a dirty edit.

It works, so it's not the skin.

Are you using an older version of MineLP? (This is the one I was using)

It might have been my version of the mod I guess, I wasn't using that one. I'll update and see if it works then. Also my skin is loosely based off of my profile pic character.
Edit: Ok well updating to the version your using didn't help it any on my end, I'll try your edited version of my skin now I guess.
>Edit: Ok I'm dumbfounded... I not only tried your edited version of my skin but also updated to the same version as you. Yet still stuck as daring do. I have no idea what the problem is. Considering my pc has been going haywire, and that I've been working on it for a few days now, its probably something wrong with my pc.
Ok turns out there was a mod conflict or something. I had Optifine and Shaders installed as well "I never take those out for game performance reasons", I took those out and now my skin is working..
Well I'm gonna edit the skin a bit more in small area's here and there, but anyways, thanks for all the help! This is was more than likely the best and most help I've ever gotten. Cya guys on the server! Perhaps after I take a nap though... Spending the entire night working on this has really made me tired..

Odd, I don't know why they (shaders specifically) would conflict. I was also running Optifine 1.8.0 U D5 at the time.
