New to modding.

I have a problem with my country leader not beeing added:

spriteTypes = {
    spriteType = {
        name = "GFX_portrait_Der_Kaiser"
        texturefile = "gfx/leaders/HEF/GFX_portrait_Der_Kaiser.DDS"
}
#portraits link

characters = {
    HEF_Der_Kaiser={
        name=HEF_Der_Kaiser
            portraits = {
                civilian = {
                    large="GFX_portrait_Der_Kaiser"
            }
        }
}
#character

VSC says, that the portraitfile cannot be found even though the path is right. Picturture format is should also be right (dds). Pls help : )
