Custom Smoke Shell Problem

[barcode6 0]

My first foray into cfg making so I've tried something simple.  I want to add 4 custom color smoke shells but Ive run into some problems.  In a mission I have a soldier with a normal hand grenade, a red smokeshell and a custom one, and I can see the other two.  I can see the ammo in my gear, and I can drop it, but it doesn't appear as an option to load.  I figure it's a problem with my declarations in the weapons section and the throw part, but I can't figure it out.  There was info at OFPEC, and A-lone-wolf made a custom smokeshell addon the can be found at OFP-info but that doesn't work for me, and copying the config doesnt help me either.  I also looked at the ZIG glowsticks, which is how I at least got the ammo to appear.

Any help would be appreciated, here's the config:

I know you probably did this.. but did you make sure to do this in your soldier's init?

this addweapon "BAR_Smoke"

Without it, you cant "select" the smoke nades you made.

You probably did that, just need to make sure

Do I ever feel stupid...

For some reason I thought it became a reload for the handgrenade throw... Thanks MrZig!

The only problem with it is that it uses the BIS smoke shells, which are ineffective cause they don't block AI view and they're hard on your system when you get a few of em down. FDF, JAM, WGL, and others have made smoke grenades that aren't as bad and they block AI view.
