---------------------------------Section 7-----------------------------------
Main Menu Text Editing
Browse to C:\modding\Arcanum3\mes\mainmenu.mes
Copy this file to c:\sierra\arcanum\data\mes

Open it up, it should look like this:

// Main Menu
{10}{Single Player}
{11}{MultiPlayer}
{12}{Options}
{13}{Credits}
{14}{Exit Game}

Say you wanted to change the first button to Best Game Mode, all you would have to do is change the text:
{10}{Single Player} to

{10}{Best Game Mode}

It's that simple.

Everything else in this file should be self-explanatory.

Follower Level-up Editing

Browse to file c:\modding\arcanum3\rules\gamelevel.mes
Copy it to C:\sierra\arcanum\data\rules

You can edit:
{50}-Necromancer  {necro_evil 1, cn 9, necro_good 1, necro_evil 2, necro_good 2, melee 4, dx 9, necro_evil 3, cn 11, in 12, necro_good 3, necro_evil 4, necro_good 4, cn 13, necro_evil 5, necro_good 5, melee 8, dx
10, wp 20, cn 15, dx 12, in 18, cn 20, st 20} to anything using these abbreviations:

Stats - st, dx, cn, be, in, pe, wp, ch
Skills - bow, dodge, melee, throwing, backstab, pickpocket, prowling, spottrap, gambling, haggle, heal, persuasion, repair, firearms, picklock, armtrap
Spells - conveyance, divination, air, earth, fire, water, force, mental, meta, morph, nature, necro_evil, necro_good, phantasm, summoning, temporal
Tech - anatomical, chemistry, electric, explosives, gun_smithy, mechanical, smithy, therapeutics
Misc - maxhps, maxfatigue

Now, to explain this.  See how it says necro_evil 1?  That means he makes the skill tree of necro_evil go up to level 1.  Cn9 means that he puts points into constitution until it reaches level 9.  And so on.  If you need more information email me.
