Strange Problem

I have been playing SEV off and on for awhile now. Recently got back from an extended period of time where I had not been able to play. I went to load up Balance mod 1.19f and I can get the empires which I created to work. I have them set up with minsters, (and yes the button that lets them be AI controlled is selected.) But when I let the game go after my turn, it just hangs on them. I can play if I don't have them, I just want to know whats going on. Why can' I get the AI to work. I am using the IA, EA, and minbari shipsets, and I can't seem to get them to work at all. I use the higarns.

I just want to know a solution. I have only come accross this problem once and I had to port an setup scripts over to them, I have done that but they still don't seem to work.

See here for adding custom races to the Balance Mod:

The scripts they come with are only compatible with stock.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Though I think I did something wrong...they still don't seem to do anything, it just sits there and hangs.

Delete any existing *.csf files that you find in each of their empire folders.

Can you show me an example of the changes you made to their [Name]_AI_Main.txt file?
