Problems with converting image files to flats

[Crazy Cricket]

Whenever i try to convert an image file to a flat, it changes to an "unknown" file, i tried converting PNG, BMP, and JPG, and got the same result with all of them. The image i am trying to convert is 64x64 as all flats should be, i also made shure to add it to TEXTURE1 and PNAMES1.

Don't do that.

Flats are a separate image format from textures and have nothing to do with patches (TEXTURE1/PNAMES).

i tried it without adding them to patches, still got the same result

I'm pretty sure the issue is your markers rather than the flat itself. Your flat is between FF_START and F_START. Try renaming F_START to F_END. You will probably need to completely reload your wad (or restart SLADE) for the flat to show correctly.
