SE4 Gold Problems

First one:
The race that you are creating is your race. You will control it. SE4 will create the AI's for you.

Yeah but I was hoping to make my own(I did it in SE4, Does SE4 Gold not let you?) and not have a pre-generated race. I like to give the AI more bonus than SE4 does (all racial traits, +130% characteristics, etc.)

Second one:

You need to click the boxes beside the conditions to make it work.

---

I did click the boxes but the %'s are grayed out and can't be changed. I remember when I first got SE4 you could alter them But I downloaded a Patch and they went gray. I was hoping this was a bug and it would be fixed in Gold but...

Fourth One:

Wha? I think you need to clear up your question.

I created a new ship size in VehicleSize.txt
It was called Scout Ship. It was a direct copy of the Destroyer ship size with 1 change, it had a second requirement that you need to have Aincient Technology(a mod I made) level 3.

Then you are going to have to create your race FIRST then create your AI race.

For Modding help, Talk to Pheonix-D or Imperator Fyron or Suicide Junkie. They know Modding better than I do.

"I did click the boxes but the %'s are grayed out and can't be changed. "

First you have to click the box. After that the % is still grayed out, but when you move your cursor on it it becomes blue. At least that is what happens in my game.

"Then you are going to have to create your race FIRST then create your AI race."

That doesn't seem to help. I think not being able to click on the computer control box is a bug. A work around is to add an existing race and edit it. That way you can click on the box. Another way is to make the new compute race, save it, remove it, then add it as an existing race and click on the box.

How do I create a game in which I play against the AI?

You need to click on the toggle Controlled by Player, not the label Computer Controlled.

Click on the greyed Victory Conditions that you want to use (they should highlight), then move your mouse across the screen until the sliders for setting that value appear. Click the arrows to change the values.

"You need to click on the toggle Controlled by Player, not the label Computer Controlled."

That toggle doesn't work if you have added a new race. It is a new bug that wasn't in classic SEIV.

Actually, that toggle DOES work.. just not when you're adding the race. You have to go back with the edit button and turn it on for some reason.

Thanks for your help guys. Everything is working now except the Scout Ship problem.
