I know how to open up Campaign_NMS.mis with the Mission Editor and enable Map Location Edit Mode.

I know how to Add New Map Location and what the settings should be in that locations options box.

Then the problems start to arrise.....

1) I can not make it nameless in the field "Name in Editor" as all the other locations are.

2) When i save the file Campaign_NMS.mis again (Save MapNotes Layer) it ends up being 1KB in size and contain only one empty location.

What the xxxx is going on and can anyone help me with how to get the damn file saved so it keeps the info in it?
I had a similar issue when I was making up a location set for the Baltic.

Peabody's more than likely right that the file is hand edited, but there is a way round it.

What I did was:

Open Campaign_NMS.mis by using the "Open Scripted Layer" in the "File" drop down menu. As you've found, don't use the Map Notes option as it seems to wipe it.

As it doesn't let you not put an entry in, just start it as "01" or something to bypass that bit. Also, make sure that the "Location Name in Game" is empty if your putting in an image, as opposed to a Location.

Once you've done that, use the "Save Scripted Layer As" option and that should be it!

Hope that helps,

Mike.
