RTS New Mission problems

Hey i cant seems to save my .mis files. Bassically I am opening up the RTS kit and deleting the square of units. adding my own buildings in and going to save mission as. then i exit the mission and close the game. Reopen the game, load the new mission that i made and it is the same thing as the default map with the square of people and none of my buildings. what am i doing wrong?

The units and buildings are added by code, not through the mission file, so when you delete the units or add buildings using the editor, your changes are not saved on the mission file, which only holds terrain information.

To add or remove RTSUnits -or derived classes, like RTSBuilding- you have to do it from code.

I figured it was hardcoded and i have been looking everywhere and cannot figure out where it is. then again i have alot keeping me busy with buildings and setting up external datbases. So any help would be awsome thanks.

EDIT: I would go on a rant here about how people have been telling me "oh yea i have done it, it can be done" but dont tell me how or point me twords a resorce that will help, but that wont help the situation i think. Is it really that hard to just add "most of it is in filexxx.cs, good luck"??

Im not upset or anything but i feel like i am on the edge of my seat here waiting for someone to finish their post as if they got interrupted or something because they were halfway to telling me what i could try.

I really dont know what the heck are you talking about...

The whole point is that you dont know coding, and is rather improbable that someone do for you every feature you came up here wanting to do. Besides that you are REALLY starting to sound like someone here have some obligation to you.
