8x8 Editor Not Saving to ROM

I am trying to insert a custom death block into my hack.

-I first hit #lm{extgfx} to extract the GFX.
-I then edited the graphics and got them looking how I want them to using the 8x8 editor. (no issues here)
-Next I hit F9 where I am prompted with "Do you want to save the current level GFX to file so it can be inserted to the ROM later?" I hit "Yes"
-Finally I hit #lm{insgfx} to insert the GFX back into the ROM.

So, what is the issue? The block appears perfect within Lunar Magic. However, when I start the ROM the graphics for the block do not appear. The block is there though, I can stand on an invisible platform or die if I set the 'act as' to 12F. Is there a step I am missing? It seemed very straight forward up until this point but I now can not figure out what I am doing wrong.

I am going to try and find the proper file to edit with YY-CHR but the 8x8 editor is so much more convenient.

Thanks!

Did you save the Map16?

Yes I did save the MAP16 data to the ROM. Sorry I forgot to mention that. Also, when I exit Lunar Magic and then re-open it the graphics for the blocks also disappear. Again, the blocks are still there but the graphics are gone.

EDIT: I solved the issue. For whatever reason I had to press #lm{insexgfx} instead of #lm{insgfx} to insert the graphics. I did not think these were ExGFX but nevertheless the issue has been resolved.

Thanks!
