Need a bit of help with graphic moding[message #354132]

Hi all,
I'm doing a bit of item graphic modding and have a problem.

First of all, Im not a total noob. I know how to mod item graphics and have already edited / created lots of new item graphics that work just fine in-game.
Also I'm using JA2 1.13 - Revision_8548_Gamedir_2418

The problem is using GraphicType 4 with a new color pallet for my items. I'm missing something and I can't get it to work.
I've created the "p4itemXY.sti", "MDP4ITEMS.sti" and "SMP4ITEMS.sti" with apropriate palletes. Whenever the game loads an item to which I assigned the "<ubGraphicType>4" it crashes!

I think that something is wrong with my MDP4ITEMS.sti file, but I don't know what.

Is there an INI option, or special requirement for using GraphicTypes other then the existing P1, P2 and P3 ones?
Is it something to do with a specific color pallet requirement?

Any help is much appreciated.

Have you changed NUM_P_ITEMS in Ja2_Options.ini?

I know now that it could never work between us, as much as we wanted to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're black.

If you want, you can donate to me. This will not affect how and what I code, and I will not code specific features in return. I will be thankful though.

Now a have a new problem:

I created a new MDP4ITEMS.sti file and the proper color palette in Photoshop and imported to STI Edit.
The palette has the first color blue RGB (0,0,255) for transparency and the second-to-last and last color Green and Red -> (0,255,0) and (255,0,0) as it should be.

It all works fine ingame except that I can't get the green color highlighting to work properly (example for compatible attachments...)
The green outline is always displayed on the item and doesn't work as intended. Something must be wrong with the palette but for the life of me, I can't figure out what!
I checked and double and triple checked, and the problem persists.

Any help is much appreciated.
