I'm running TWGS/Gold and I've got a game running now with 6 aliens and 3 Ferrengi all being handled by the external manager. But if I try and edit either aliens or Ferrengi in TEDIT, none of them show up? I know they're there, because I can switch back to TWGS and see what they're doing. Any help would be appreciated.

The alien editor within TEDIT is for non-gold aliens. There is no way presently to edit individual gold aliens.

This is correct. The alien editors included with TEDIT only allow the sysop to edit internally handled aliens (the default Ferrengi and Alien Traders), not Gold Aliens. Also, even when the internal aliens are used, the TEDIT alien editors are very limited in what they can do... i.e., you can't create forty Ferrengi on day one, or give Ferrengi in slots 1-10 Battle Cruisers or Dreadnaughts. I can post more detailed information on the limitations of the Internal Alien editors if anyone would like to take a look at it.

Wait a minute. I create an alien with menu choice 3 in TEDIT, those are not gold aliens???

The real question is how do you give your aliens planets? I can give a planet to Darn near anyone but not to any alien but the "Alien Traders". Also, I can give planets to the Fed, but I can't give them mines or fighters.

Is there any way to do these things. Have I missed something?
