Well, here's the thing. Often, designating a spell missile row to serve duty as a weapon missile will produce problems.I think that setting SrcDam column to 8 might allow your missile to do damage...I presume that's your problem...that the missile appears but does nothing.
However, if you want all crossbows and bows to use a special missile, and the same one...you can change them graphically by changing the CelFile and AnimLen columns for the arrow row to match those in Bone Spear's row (make sure you pick the bone spear missile rather than the bone spear trail).
If you only want the crossbows to use a new missile without affecting bows...well...
There are a few unused missile rows as well (some of which look like they're in use but really aren't...you can search through skills.txt, weapons.txt and monstats.txt to figure out which aren't really being used.
Make those rows exactly like the arrow row except for the CelFile and AninLen...and use them instead for your crossbows.
