Final Fantasy VI Music/Sound Modding
In this thread im gonna explain how to replace the games music files, please note that i still haven´t found a way to loop them correctly.

Update: New version of FFVI_Explore got released, it now let´s you create self installing patches

1. You need FFVI_Explore by Nyxojaele to open,extract and replace FF6 game files, you can get it here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38150185/FFVI/FFVI_Explore_v0.3.zip

2. Open FFVI_Explore select open archive then navigate to: steam\steamapps\common\finalfantasy vi and open "main.obb" (make sure to backup this file in case you screw something up)

3. Navigate down until you find files that start with "sound", the first 96 files, give or take, are the music files , these are all .ogg files with custom headers you cannot replace them with any other format like .MP3 or .WAV or else the game crashes.

4. Now we are going to extract a music file, note that the music files are ordered the same way as the in game music player, im gonna choose terra´s theme which is "s006.akb", right click on "sound/s006.akb" and select extract, your extracted file should be in a folder called "sound"

5. For this next step you´re gonna need an hex editor i recommend HxD: http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ . With your hex editor open "s006.akb"

6. Select everything until "OggS" as shown in this picture: http://i.imgur.com/Jy4nkhP.png and copy it, this is the custom header i mentioned in step 3, every file has a different one, i don´t know if it holds the loop data since .ogg files are capable of having loops aswell.

7. Open an .ogg file with the hex editor and paste insert the header right before "OggS" as shown in this pic: http://i.imgur.com/b6UtLzV.png , then save as "s006.akb" without the quotes.

8. Go to FFVIExplore highlight "sound/s006.akb" and press Delete, this will delete the file so that there are no duplicates.

9. Drag and drop "s006.akb" into FFVIExplore and highlight it, just above "Output Directory" theres a bar, click it, right now it should say "s006.akb" change it to "sound/s006.akb" without the quotes, then click on save archive.

Problems/Bugs

Adding a header of a diferent track that you´re trying to replace causes the game to crash. For example replacing Terra´s theme and using the Battle theme header
The battle theme when replaced stops playing after some time
