Still can't use Swords Level 5 and Up

Still can't assign Swords level 5 and up. Giving them to the player at runtime just results in a blank item box, no weapon. Doesn't let you use lower level swords either, so it's clearly registering that Link owns it. The swords in question are wholly custom items (z255 and such)

Build 492 or so. Its been a problem in the last 12 betas or so, and its never been addressed. I think it's possible that it's not a bug, I'm just not doing something right on the subscreen editor (since there is STILL no documentation giving anyone a clue how to use it) but the items are set up identically to the pre-existing swords.

Just Tested this, I started Link out with a Lev 6 sword and put a Lev 10 sword down as an item to be picked up, its seems he got the sword but niether sword is showing up on the subscreen (Active subscreen button item A) and also, I started Link off with slash but when I picked up the lev 10 sword I lost slash (Link still did the slash tile but the sword just stabbed)

BTW, ALL of my swords are custom, I completely redid every item from scratch.

Bug still showing up in version 509. Really annoying. I wonder if this is related to the other bugs related to items 150 and above? Does the Allegro script for ZQuest only check items 1-150 for some applications, like picking up or using a sword?
