The Arcanum Resources page is full of useful resources that will help modders with their work. Here you will find the WorldEd Manual HTML Version and the Official editdocs.zip. As new useful resources are made, links to them will be added to this page.
| WorldEd Manual HTML Version -- View it Online |
Download: WorldEdManual.zip (225 kb) |
| This is the Official WorldEd documentation as an easy to read and use HTML file. Some people had problems reading the Officially released '.doc' version so I converted it to HTML. In fact, in this HTML version, the tables are a lot easier to read than in the '.doc' version. |

| Facades List -- View it Online |
Download: facades.zip (27 MB) |
| This is an index for the list of Facades compiled by Dgale. The lists have pictures as well (which is why it's very, very, VERY Big!!) |
| |
| Description.mes -- View it Online |
|
| This is the file 'description.mes'. If you don't know, 'description.mes' is the file that contains ALL the item prototypes. These are used with some script actions to create items in people's inventory as well as for creating your own backgrounds (as I understand). |
| |
| List of Sounds -- View it Online |
|
| This is the complete lists of sounds from Arcanum. They are used in conjunction with the 'Play sound (num)' script action. All the sounds are there, everything from the interface sounds all the way through to the spell sounds and combat sounds. |
| |
| Experience Points -- View it Online |
|
| These are the lists of experience points that are given when the PC completes a certain quest or kills a critter. It also details the experience points that the PC needs before they can achieve the next level. |

| Prototype Editing Docs |
Download: ArcanumProtoDocs.zip (29 kb) |
| These files have some info in them about hex-editing the ".pro" files. If you don't know, those are the files that deal with the item prototypes. By hex-editing them, it is possible to alter the weapons and so on in Arcanum. NOTE: You WILL need a hex-editor to edit the ".pro" files. Also, if you don't understand these files or anything about hex-editing, then don't ask me. Ask someone on one of the Arcanum Modding forums about it, not me. Thanks to Otto Krupp for sending these to me. |

| Tile Set Information |
Download: tile_sets.zip (5 kb) |
| The Tile Set info docs are some useful info for those of you who'd like to know a bit about the tilesets (placing Terrain) in WorldEd. Basically, they tell you what terrain can fit in with what without making a water barrier in-between as well as some info on putting docks together. Useful if you can't be bothered working that stuff out for yourself through hours and hours of trial and error. Thanks to Damrod who made them and sent them to me (I told you I'd put them up.... Eventually. I mean, so what if it took me a month or two... Or three..). |

| Official Edit Documents |
Download: editdocs.zip (58 kb) |
| These are zipped up '.doc' files with lists and VERY useful information in them. They are the files that were released before the WorldEd Manual came out. They can be a bit difficult to understand. They were also written for the DEVELOPERS and not for MOD MAKERS such as you or me. As such, some of the information in them can be incorrect. |

| Official Arcanum Scripts |
Download: scr.zip (1.058 Mb) |
| These are ALL of the scripts that have been pulled from the Official game-release version of Arcanum. If you want to know how to do something, ANYTHING, then it is probably in one of these scripts. I have used these very effectively to figure out how to accomplish some of the more tricky tasks in my modules. NOTE: I have been told that this MAY be a violation of the EULA (End Users Licence Agreement). I am of the opinion that it is not due to the fact that anyone can pull these from Arcanum themselves using Troika's OWN undat program. As such, it is merely convenient to have these up here as it saves you having to UNDAT Arcanum yourself. If you download these files, use them ONLY for personal use. |
| |
| Official Arcanum Dialogue |
Download: dlg.zip (1.552 Mb) |
| This is ALL of the dialogue from the Official version of Arcanum. These tie in with the scripts above. They are very useful for figuring out how to do certain things with dialogue. I have found them INVALUABLE myself. NOTE: I have been told that this MAY be a violation of the EULA (End Users Licence Agreement). I am of the opinion that it is not due to the fact that anyone can pull these from Arcanum themselves using Troika's OWN undat program. As such, it is merely convenient to have these up here as it saves you having to UNDAT Arcanum yourself. If you download these files, use them ONLY for personal use. |

| Comm Module - Working World Map |
Download: comm_undat.zip (633 kb) |
| This is an undatted version of a module made by a Ukranian called Zammy. He figured out how to make a World Map (you know, that one you can travel on). I've mucked around with it and figured out how he did it but I'm not explaining it just yet. As such, download this module yourself, put it into your 'Arcanum\Modules\' directory and play it yourself. Take a look at the files and see if you can figure out how he did it by your own. I hope to explain it.... Uhhh..... Eventually... One day.... |
