Describe the process you're going through to edit/add things.
It would also be helpful if we knew the download you're using and the platform you're running your server on (Win2k, Cygwin, Linux, ect.)
A common beginner mistake is to edit an existing non-prototype area and type 'savearea'. Sounds logical enough, but to save areas that have already been "loaded" (non-prototype), you use 'foldarea'. Check out the helpfiles on both.

hmmm... i have an idea. is there a specific place to unzip the files? maybe i placed them in the wrong place. i just unzipped the files on my desktop.
All of them? Or do you have subfolders somewhere?
A useful idea would be to make a directory, eg. c:\smaug, and put the files into there.

I am having kinda the same problem, only none of my stuff will save. When i log into my char.s and raise all my stats or try to save something in the game. Such as engeneral saving it says it saves but it really doesn't. Then the next time i get on i have to do it all over again.If anyone could help i wound be eternally grateful.
Have you read Players cannot save their characters?
i did all that and i cant save pfiles now o.O any idea?
You need all the appropriate directories or it won't work. If you can't get it to work run under gdb and set a breakpoint at the save code and see what happens.
