Modding the harbours - help please

I've never looked at this, so this might be pie in the sky, but I think it would make sense if this was set in the campaign layer, which I think you can edit with the mission editor.

If i wasn't at work, id explain how in detail. Its really easy acutally.

Short version:

-Open US harbor traffic layer in editor
-Merge in Campaign_LOC file (DO NOT check "is saveable box), so you can see where the docks are.
-Add your RND entries, and adjust them to what you want.
-make them point the right way by adding a waypoint, then "head to waypoint".
-Delete waypoint (dont have to, i do anyway)
-Save as RND layer.

Thanks Ducimus,

I've been trying to do as you explained however; - no extra anything.

Could use a little "more" help.

Do I open US harbor traffic layer, as a RND layer or a normal mission??

When I save, do I save it as a RND layer?
Do I use the same name or rename it, and if I rename it do I have to edit the campaign.cfg to include the new name????

Putting the stuff on the map seems pretty straight forward, I set up a nice, what I hope will be a busy dock...... and when I go to look at it - nada

Do you know if the Campaign_LOC.mis file can be edited sucsessfully; and if so, what do I have to save it as?
