Get bink and smacker and you can edit/make new .bik files.
And as for the music, check out the files forum for a tool made my GlitchyGuardian. His is rather easy to use and you can inject up to three songs.

I have seen people with modded main menus where the color is amber, how do they do this? Is it as simple as changing a bitmap in mainmenu.map?

Yes. For the opening screen (where is says "press start to continue"), you just remove the blue filter. For the rest, they're just bitmaps, that have been extracted, then the color changed in photoshop or whatever photo manipulation program, then injected again.

To remove the blue filter, just open the map in h2edit, scroll down to the [scnr] tag, click on effects\screen_effects\desaturate (it should be at the end of the list), go to the drop down box under dependency and choose "null" to null out the filter. If by any chance you want to change the loading screen, go to globals\loading_screen and the bitmaps are there.

Almost all of the other bitmaps are located under the folder called "ui" if you open the mainmenu in ch2r. Just go through all the folders under "ui" and you will find just about all of the maps that will change the rest of the look of the mainmenu.

If you have any questions, then feel free to ask me :)
