Read this to Edit your "auto-level schemes"

In your instructions for editing follower level schemes you say taht the files need to be placed in arcanum\data\rules and then modified?
do I have that right ? But dosn't the file then need to be recopressed
and saved over the original information in the arcanum3.dat files?

 

No. The file you put in Data\Rules will override the default information in Arcanum3.dat.

 

I just found this, and I'm trying to find a copy of arcundat.zip -- the URL given in this tutorial is broken. Anyone know where to find it?

 

The proper URL now is http://www.terra-arcanum.com/phpBB/dloa ... &cat_id=13 since the grand overhaul given the site by DarkUnderlord.

Thanks for the nice tutorial Zewy. I had figured out most of this on my own, but I had somehow overlooked the gamelevelname.mes file. BTW, that file should actually go in arcanum\data\mes when you are done with the modifications, but if it works in the Rules directory, that's cool, too.

 

Thanks! And thanks for the tutorial -- I'm looking forward to giving it a try!

 

I changed Virgil's autolevel scheme so that he doesnt pick any magic skills, but he still starts with the healing spell.

I wanted to play a tech group with Virgil - without his magic...

 

I would suggest downloading Arcanum Editor 1.8 and modifying Virgil's initial abilities.

 

I tried this, but running this program seems a bit tricky with win7 64bit :/

Is there a way to hex edit this, or are there character files somewhere hidden in the dat files

But thanks so far for your advice Muro

 

There's a thread (I can't recall where, but it should be on the first page or two) about how to get Arcanum Edit to run on W7.
