From console:

I'm assuming the previous textures didn't experience this, but I have no
idea what could be the problem here, especially as the filename seems
fine when I writeln it.

How do you construct `filename`? Looks like it's not properly
null-terminated.
If you followed my (short-sighted) `dup` advice, that doesn't do
null-termination. Since the original strings are null-terminated, just
slicing one more character should do the trick. I'd put an assert that
verifies that the last character is '\0'.
I.e.:
----
string z = x.data[0 .. x.length + 1].idup;
assert(z[$ - 1] == '\0');
----
Generally, don't pass just the pointer of a string unless you know for
sure that it's properly null-terminated.
If you're using a slice directly, without `dup`-ing, then the original
aiString would seem to be broken already.
