No associated frames file found for image that is the main thing you need to look at in your error log. If there is no frames file, it doesn't know how to split up your png file. When modding, especially with armors, its important to follow the vanilla assets file system. If you move all your armor from items/active/ into items/armors/ then it should work. The armors folder has default frame files for the armors to use. Otherwise, you have to make your own.
