If it still donīt work with BMP I think your pics have the wrong palette.
Plesae, try this: take a new standard units.gif without changes, copy it to your scn folder. Then copy the units you made into it, save it as gif or bmp. Still no success?
I donīt know the software you use, so I canīt say if itīs good, but normally every gfx software should be able to handle 8bit gifs/bmps with fixed palettes. Perhaps your programme saves it as 24bit Truecolor? Check the helpfile of the software, are there some notes about the save formats?

Probably wrong format or palette. Under FW or higher you can save the pics as BMP files, bigger filesizes, but easier to handle.
Under 2.42 they have to be GIF. Whatever you use, they have to be 8bit=256 colors, and donīt change the palette. If you save them as GIFs, look out for save options like "Transparency", "Interlaced" or something like that - and DEactivate them...Hope this helps, there my be other reasons, but please try the things above first...
