Yes, but since I don't have a good net and also most sites to upload likes to kill those files I've put them on a torrent though I need someone else seeding cause my net sucks, I would like to see those add on the PCGaming wiki (I was so crazy when those FF13 released to steam that I did this lol) still the game is amazing even today.


FF13 BGM Vol. mod (Vol=100 and Vol=0) torrent

FF13-2 BGM Vol. mod (Vol=100 and Vol=0) torrent
https://www30.zippyshare.com/v/RlRWFWLl/file.html

ff13-1 only tool (needed to install BGM Vol. mod FF13) (Direct link)

ff13-2 only tool (needed to install BGM Vol. mod on FF13-2) (Direct link)
https://www30.zippyshare.com/v/qFKqZGUI/file.html

I can post LRFF13 torrent later if the previous torrents works good, if have any good site to upload tell me it may help though it will be almost 2GB for LRFF13 dues to the hard way of install.

Edit: Some Direct link added!

umm...wht I require is the filelist for opening one of the bin files in the zone folder for the PC version, so tht I can open the music files packed inside it and do the hex edits with the values u mentioned here.

LRFF13 zone filelist
here:https://mir.cr/1QTXRLJD

zone filelist are found extracting file from the folder sys from LR: on X360 ver. we found it using "filelist2u.x360.bin" & "white_img2a.x360.bin"


In PC ver. it can be found extracting "white_img2a.win32.bin" with his filelist "filelist2a.win32.bin" then consider the follow path:
Ex: You will extract here:
I:\Gaming\Patch's Mods\Final Fantasy XIII - Lightning Returns\ff13tool1.4 LR updated\white_img2a

The zone filelist will be here:
I:\Gaming\Patch's Mods\\zone


The BGMs are on the archive "white_z0120a_img.win32.bin" this file needs the filelist "filelist_z0120a.win32.bin" but the "filelist_z0120a.win32.bin" needs to be decrypted (with decrypt - filelist_z0120a.win32.bat), then extract with (extract_imgc - filelist_z0120a.win32.bin white_z0120a_img.win32.bin.bat) and then repack with (repack filelist_z0120a.win32.bin white_z0120a_img.bat) and then encript the file back with (encrypt - filelist_z0120a.win32.bat)

Path BGM LR.
Archive zone LR folder extracted
white_z0120a_img.win32.bin -> white_z0120a_img -> Sound -> pack -> 8000




Archives and your filelist
"white_z0120a_img.win32.bin" filelist = "filelist_z0120a.win32.bin" (BGMs are located here)

"white_img2a.win32.bin" filelist = "filelist2a.win32.bin "

"white_imga.win32.bin" filelist = "filelista.win32.bin"

"white_z0100a_img.win32.bin" filelist = "filelist_z0100a.win32.bin"

"white_z0110a_img.win32.bin" filelist = "filelist_z0110a.win32.bin"

"white_z0120a_img.win32.bin" filelist = "filelist_z0120a.win32.bin" (Duplicated it's the same from the first one that I listed here ok)

"white_z0121a_img.win32.bin" filelist = "filelist_z0121a.win32.bin"

"white_z0122a_img.win32.bin" filelist = "filelist_z0122a.win32.bin"

"white_scra.win32.bin" filelist = "filelist_scra.win32.bin"


Don't forget that Sectus tool needs to be configured to LR FF13 as "ff133".

Examples:
-ff133 = LRFF13

-ff132 = FF13-2

-ff13 = FF13

I will leave here a LRff13Tool with most bats just in case:
https://mir.cr/OWX5NJR1

And a Bonus Final Fantasy XIII BGM Vol. modifier OFF and Vol. = 100
https://mir.cr/UXETPU1Z
https://mir.cr/AUVUVO8H
https://mir.cr/0VVN3EI8

BGM Vol can be edited easily with a hex editor.

BGM music hex path:
0xA8 float volume in FFXIII, FFXIII-2 and FFXIV

0x128 float volume in LR:FFXIII

Offset 0xA8 (0x128 in LRFFXIII) has a 4 byte IEEE 754 Floating Point for the volume level, you can use a hex to float converter if you want to change it. For example, 3F 33 33 33 == 0.7 while 3F 80 00 00 == 1.0 <-----You need to write this in reverse order So, if you want to change the volume beyond 1.0, you're gonna need a float converter. It's easier than it seems. You just input the decimal representation (let's say 3 for instance) and press enter. Then the Hexadecimal representation will come up and you change your SCD as needed. Making sure to input it in reverse of course.


If you have been playing FFXIII you must have noticed that the BGM plays at low vol most of time, most people would like to hear more the BGM than the sounds effects and sometimes also would like to turn it OFF to just listen the sound effects of the game with his playlist, thanks the research of TGE and Sectus (creator of ff13tool) we are able to modifier the vol to make it sounds loud and mute.

The research of TGE can be found here:

Wow, oh and thx for the new updates. :)

Wow awesome work with the ws update, is there any chances to get the menus running smooth like the ps1 ver.?

anyone know where I can download the HUD mod or can I enable it with memoria (if it's included)?

This is the HUD mod I'm talking about:
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/847090167464837739/882DFC2C2FB8D8D70E6D06CA4BB29F575D39BD5E/?interpolation=lanczos-none&output-format=jpeg&output-quality=95&fit=inside|2048:1152&composite-to%3D%2A%2C%2A%7C2048%3A1152&background-color=black

May I request a battle HUD style FF12HD, it would looks awesome on FF9 too, with the trance on the place of the quickening, just like on the video.

@Albeoris is it possible to make the Menu (and maybe the battle menu as well) run at 60fps to smooth out?

I remember that the PS1 ver. all windows menu runs at 60fps independent of the gameplay fps.

I would love to see those menu at 60fps again.

BTW: Congratulations your mod is amazing, thank you. ^_^

Considering Square Enix locks their games at 15-30 FPS (15 for battles in games like FF IV), it might be difficult to do so. You sure the PS1 version menus ran at 60 FPS? Don't think ANYTHING ran at 60 FPS on the PlayStation 1.

@Albeoris modded the battle fps already, so maybe he can mod the menus to 60fps as well.

Nowadays it's rare find a game that runs 30 or 15fps ingame but has 60fps menus, from PS1 era that was normal, and of course there was games that run 60fps on PS1, games like Chrono Cross (most on menu, rare times in battles) Castlevania SotN and pretty much any 2D games I think.
