I wish to create a new 'special effect' icon (and it's cooresponding text, if possible), and I've hit a wall.
I tried extracting STATES.bam from GUIBam.bif using WinBiff, editing it with BAM Workshop, and dropping the edited STATES.bam in the /override folder.
No effect.
Then I tried deleting the STATES.bam from GUIBam.bif (again using WinBiff), and then adding the edited STATES.bam file to GUIBam.bif.
The game returned a critical error and would not start.
So, now I'm fresh out of ideas. Is there a way to do this?
How to create new "Display Special Effect" Icons?

I do not think you can add additional states (although you can change the icon and associated text, the states list itself is hard-coded).

add a new icon to states.bam and states2.bam, then add a line to statdesc.2da,where the second line is a string reference.
Ah, and don't add new files to bif, drop the new file in the override instead.
Finally, adding new states creates an unremovable incompatibility with Refinements.

Note that you can only have 256 states.
That could be rephrased as "Refinements has made itself incompatible with any other mods that seeks to add new states".

But fo course that is untrue. Being a pioneer in this area, Refinements holds all rights to deny being made incompatible.That could be rephrased as "Refinements has made itself incompatible with any other mods that seeks to add new states".

Hmmm... so we have "state assignments within Refinements causing fussy mod confinements", eh? :^^:But fo course that is untrue. Being a pioneer in this area, Refinements holds all rights to deny being made incompatible.That could be rephrased as "Refinements has made itself incompatible with any other mods that seeks to add new states".
Now some aspiring Gilbert & Sullivan-type bard could start a nice operetta with that line...
