Problems with SHP Builder 3.36

I'm trying to make a Hospital Cameo for C&C1, by using the last frame of the hospital make.shp image. I've had success with it, but sometimes after i save it, then reload it, it shows up as crap and under the cameo.pal. I saved it under TD Temperate pallete. Why is it doing this? Another mistake ive noticed with this program is when you use the cameo generator tool, the Text doesnt show up on the icon in the right spot. It needs to be positioned one square up, and one over (to the right). Also don't like the color transition (white fading to gray)...make an option for solid white (color 15 on the temp.pal. because in the game the text is solid white on the cameos.
There's also alot of files I can't open from the command and conquer game, and alot of times if i alter an image that does load up...after saving it it wont show up right or mixman wont read it...rendering this program almost useless for me. Command and conquer won't display some of the structures that normally isnt buildable in the game but made buildable with TibED...like the church, oil pump, technology center...i cant figure out why this is...and others will show up..like the hopsital, bio-lab. Someone who knows what im talking about please help.

The palette used isn't saved in the SHP file. So, the program needs to guess the right palette. And it is possibly guessing the wrong palette.

can u fix the cameo issue and make insert frame have a submenu to insert the frame before or after the frame thats selected because i cant add a frame between the last and the first frames of the shp file.

Let me clear that up. I can add one to the beginning thus pushing the rest into the next frame number...but i cant add a frame to the end, thus creating a new frame number. Im having to add a frame that inserts itself between the 2nd to last and last frame, then copy the last frame and paste it into the new frame, then erase the last frame.

I've fixed the cameo detection issue at the latest revision:
http://svn.ppmsite.com/filedetails.php?repname=OS%20SHP%20Builder&path=%2FOS+SHP+Builder+3.3x%2FSHP_Builder.exe&rev=0&sc=0

This also fixes some SHP (TD) file saving issues.

I'll add the other things, including the insert frame before or after the current one in a future revision.
