Let me add something that makes editing items a bit easier, and also makes finding those annoying pictures a lot easier too. What you can do is extract an .itm file from the biff's using Near Infinity or any other program that can do it, put it in your override folder or something, it doesn't matter. Then, open that file up with IEEP and you'll see that most of your work is already done for you, like the attributes and pictures and such. All you have to do then is delete whatever you don't want it to do, and type in whatever you do want it to do... and it even gives you the normal, unidentified version on the second screen for convenience.
When I make an item, I find that if you open up a few of those programs, they all can help each other out and you can make an item relatively quickly without having to search through a lot. Shadowkeeper has the nifty option of filtering items from the main item list, allowing you quicker access to finding them. It also gives you the game name (or whatever it's called, you know what I mean though, the helm06 stuff), which you can then take and put in the "Find" field of either Near Infinity or Infinity Explorer. You can find whatever pictures it uses that way, and one of them, or maybe both, I forget, give you links to go to the different pictures so you can review them. If you have Creature Maker, and are making a .cre file, shadowkeeper can help in pretty much the same way, and much much quicker than that slow program CM.
