I don't believe there's a tutorial for it, could you be more specific about what 'advanced stuff' you're looking to do?

The "advanced stuff" i'm talking about, could be how to put the campain into the game, how to make AI players move on the map how you want (such as moving from one side of the map to another side to attack a different civ), and things like new and special ships being added into the map editor.

Well, putting it in the game is just a matter of dropping all the files in the right folders (under Data\English or in your mod folder), however you cannot control the AI like that. I'm not sure about the ships, that would need looked into.

Thanks, if i find anything about these things, i'll post it here. So, if there are some ships from one AI player sitting in an area, they won't attack anything unless something moves into its range? That is if there is no owned planet by that civ, kindof like pirates. And is there a way to have a certain map played in a senerio(Idk if i spelled that right)?

Ships can be added on a map by putting their files into the default ship folder. Depending on what game, you will have to find the "???\Data\ShipCfg" folder and add them there. you might also have to add the template to that folder.

Ok, wait a second, were would i find the ship files themselves if i made them in the ship-yard? Then the Data\ShipCfg folder... would it be under the twilight folder? And would i just be in the regular "Data" folder? Not under something like map editor?

You have to replace the default ships with the ones you want to use. The map editor will only use the ship style to replace the default ones. You will have to keep the ship file name and any advanced tech will not go on them. The original "twilight" directory contains the default ships. Your ships are located in the "my games' directory. There is nothing but maps in the map folders. You can also do this by setting up a mod folder, but I don't mess with mods, sooooooooo maybe someone else can help with that! 

BACK UP ANY FILES YOUR GOING TO CHANGE!!!

The original "twilight" directory contains the default ships. Your ships are located in the "my games' directory.

So, where are the ships i made in the shipyard? I don't get the "my games" directory...
