The LBM Tool can sometimes be a bit temperamental, but I was able to convert both JPG images with the LBM Tool.

I opened the images, with LBM Tool.
Hit the 'Resize' button.
Hit the 'Reduce Image Colors' button (not the 'Convert to grayscale' button).
Hit the 'Save As...LBM'
Done.

I prefer to, and have better success, when I first use an image editor to:
Size the image down to 160x80
Sharpen the image slightly
Save as a BMP image

Then open the sized BMP with LBM Tool
Reduce Image Colors
Save as LBM

Although I was able to go straight from JPGs to LBMs, I'll attach the LBMs I made after converting them to BMPs.

Worked like a charm, i guess today is not my lucky day, since i did everything wrong what i could do wrong with mobhack and lbms

Tested it with some more pictures and it worked perfectly, i converted the pictures of a Z Battery and an armoured car with tulip attachments and had no problems.
So i guess i will now implement some new lbm's and build some new vehicles with mobhack.

P.S. thanks for the fast help, without you i would still try to figure out where the problem lies.

Why ? The Tulip attachment for the Staghound was a limited late war WW2 item and it's already in the WW2 Canadian OOB along with a specialized Icon ( unit 351 )

Those were just images for testing, at the moment i try to add the T30 and T29 Heavy Tank Prototypes and just try to familiarize myself with mobhack a bit more
