I have read through both of those, though i probably should do it again now 
that i know more. But maybe I'm just confused on how the others are outputted. 
right now i add to the tree with: 

time = (_GetMsgTime)();
pi = proto_tree_add_text(icom_message_tree, tvb, 0, 0, "Time: %s", time);

where time is a char *. in the other proto_tree_add_'s, does it go to the 
hf_icom_* in proto register? and output from there? That's how i output the 
first message:

{ &hf_icom_bnp_type,
        { "ICom BNP Type", "icom.type",
        FT_UINT8, BASE_DEC,     
        VALS(bnp_type_names), 0x0,
        NULL, HFILL }
         },

would there be a way to put my function somewhere in these calls? such as:

{ &hf_icom_message,
        {"Message", "icom.message",
        FT_UINT16, BASE_DEC,
        (function call here?), 0x0,
        NULL, HFILL }
        }

or maybe in a value_string? all functions return a char * or int as their only 
types. Maybe i dont have a very understanding of how the proto_tree_add and 
hf[] array works and all.

I would suggest reading through doc/README.developer and epan/proto.[h|c] and 
choosing the best proto_tree_add_xyz() call that meets your needs.  Maybe 
something like proto_tree_add_bytes() or proto_tree_add_item() will work for 
you, I don't know.  There are quite a number of them to choose from, so I'm 
pretty sure you'll find one that works for you.  And don't forget to look at 
other dissectors in epan/dissectors/ for some helpful examples.
