There are two different versions available for this app. One version made for the Packed IMG installation and the other version made for the Nova Mod Manager installation, which requires a mod manager application called Nova Chrysalia to be installed and setup.
Important: Use only one of the installation methods written here when installing this mod. If you want to follow the Packed IMG installation method then do not follow the Nova Mod Manager installation method.
Similarly if you want to follow the Nova Mod Manager installation method, then do not follow the Packed IMG installation method.
Packed IMG installation method
English version:
1. Download the 13-1 Music Volume slider.zip file from the Files section.
2. After downloading the file, extract it with 7zip or winrar software and you will get an folder called FFXIIIMusicVolumeSlider_v1.3.
3. Inside this folder, open the FFXIIIMusicVolumeSlider.exe file and you will be prompted to select the path of the game exe file. on clicking ok, you will be greeted with this app window.
4. Click on the Browse button and navigate to the game's root folder i.e the FINAL FANTASY XIII folder. select the FFXiiiLauncher.exe file that is present inside this folder and click on the Ok button.
5. Set the File System Setting to Default/ Packed.
6. Set the voiceover with which you are playing the game.
If your game is the Asian region PC version that ships only with Japanese voiceovers, then make sure to check the voice over option to Japanese.
7. Click and drag the slider to a level either with the mouse or by using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
If the arrow keys are not focusing on the slider, then use tab key and get the focus box [a dotted box] to appear over the slider.
You can choose a volume level between 0 to 10.
Level 0 mutes the ingame music completely while level 10 maxes the volume level to the highest level supported by the game. level 5 is the default volume level and you can use this to reset the volume back to how it was by default.
8. Once you have the slider set at a specific level, click on the Set Volume button and the app should patch in the new volume level.
