Atma Weapon is a custom installer created to ease the modding process of Final Fantasy VI on steam.

WARNING : Be Sure to install Atma Weapon in its own separate EMPTY folder
(either in the suggested program files or anywhere to your liking)
because if you uninstall it, the folder gets removed.

WARNING #2 : Be careful if you plan to STREAM the game as some of the songs could be flagged.

The installer will automatically run FFVI_Explore and turn your FF6 installation into "modding mode"
This will enables you to manually replaces any files or assets with custom made versions of your choice.
(Located in the OBB folder of your FF6 installation)


This Installer has 3 separate presets,
AWR (A World Reborn),
Remastered,
and Classic/SNES (closest to SNES version).

AWR was created to be faithful to Amano's artwork (Blonde Terra, darker world and desaturated)
The orchestral soundtrack of AWR is mostly "orchestra"
Remastered is an improvement upon the Steam Version in every way.
The orchestral soundtrack of Remastered tries to stay faithful to the original tracks while selecting more modern version.
Finally, Classic/Snes is as close to the original Super Nintendo version of the game as was possible.

ALSO, Each of those "presets" only pre-select the options for you, the installer will go through every pages and allow you to manually change anything however you see fit.

The latest installer 0.1.0 beta allows you to see directly in the installer what each mod does.
You can manually toggle each and every of the 75+ mods that you desire to create your own perfect version.

To Install (readme has more information) :
Be sure to extract BOTH the AtmaWeapon.exe AND Urls.ini in the same folder or it will not work.
(Any folder location is fine, but depending on your computer or if running from the C:\ drive you might need to run as Admin)
Run AtmaWeapon.exe and go through the installation pages.



To Uninstall :
Atma is made with Advanced Installer and can be uninstalled like any other software.
You might want to do a "verify file integrity" with Steam to make sure you revert the game to its original form.



IMPORTANT TROUBLESHOOTING :

- If you have issue during installation and you are using a VPN, specifically during download of any of the mods, try temporarily disabling the VPN. Some server (notably github) seems to refuse connection when done through a VPN.

- Also note that the Defilter and Opera Fix only work on legit STEAM version of the game, should you be using another version, you cannot have either the defilter or opera fix enabled.
