Hi Cap,
the idea behind the menumerger is to replace individual lines in the menu_1024_768.ini file without replacing the entire menu_1024_768.ini with the JSGME each time. So you have the possibility to install individual things without overwriting old mods.
My question to you is:
Do you want to write your own files for the menumerger or just use existing ones?

Use existing Mods:
Install the Mod via JSGME. After this go to the MenuMerger and merge the Mods.

For own Mods:
In your Mod add a Folder named Menumerge.
Here you add an textfile with the ending ".ini" NOT ".txt"

In this textfile you need a main Section with following entries:

[Main] <- this is the name of the section
Name= blabla <- this is the name of the mod
target= Data\Menu\menu_1024_768.ini <- the target where the lines should be changed
Standalone=yes <- if no the user will be informed first to install the JSGME Mod
(Standalone Mods only change lines without additional graphics)
Description = Blabla <- the description is shown when the user klicks on the Mod in the Menumerge Application

Now you need the Section and the Lines to change

[G3F I74] <- this is the Section in the Menu_1024_768.ini
UGroup=G3F I1 ; Page layout <- this is the Mainsection of the changeable Section, will be needed for checks and for the possibility to change menu-_1024_768.ini where the numbers of the section has been changed.
Name=RadioIndicatorFuel <- the name of the section, will be also be used for above mentions
Zone= 525 52 21 48 0 1 0x3f01000d 0 0 0x3f01001f -0.54 1.08 0 0
Mat 0= Data/Menu/Skins/American/Gui/Layout/JM HUD.tga
Crop 0= 0.486238532110092, 0.21484375, 0.0192660550458716, 0.09375 <- the lines to change, in this case Zone, Mat 0 and Crop 0

Hope this helps to understand the way the Menumerger works.

PS:
An easy way to create this file is using my SH_MenuEditor application

I will provide you the latest version of my SH_Menu1024_Editor application, designed to easily edit the menu_1024_768.ini File.
It helps me a lot in replacing graphics in the Game. Specially cropping the images can do very easy.
