Atma Weapon Installer (Hosted on Nexusmods)[www.nexusmods.com]
Latest release: July 2nd 2020

IMPORTANT INFO : Atma Weapon will no longer be updated due to limitations of the MSI installer that prevents from adding more pages or sprites to it. Also, It is recommended to select NONE for Reshade on Page 7 as this older version of Reshade is no longer compatible with most modern computers. Finally, Installing unlocks modding mode for the game, which allows you to download and install ANY other mods by simply downloading them and dragging the files directly into your game obb folder.

PROJECT ATMAWEAPON is a web-installer for Final Fantasy VI mods that is currently in open beta. The web-installer includes previously released mods from A World Reborn as well as the Classic preset and a new Remastered version. The installer also allows the user to customize the installation manually by selecting any of the 76 mods manually and create their own custom version of the game.

Install Presets
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

EVERYTHING below this point might be outdated and no longer applicable since the newest version of the installer allows for manual selection of every mods after selecting a default preset. Also, the NOS and Hybrid were merged to create an definitive Remastered version.

Go to 1m50 of this video to see the installer in action :
(steam does not allow time selection of youtube videos)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The mods listed below are included in default installations. There are 4 presets right now: AWR (A World Reborn), NOS (Nostalgia), Hybrid (a mix of AWR and NOS), and Classic (closest to SNES version).

This section might help you choose which preset installation will please you more, so you can easily check the differences between them. We won't get into too much details here, but it should give you a general idea.

Note: If you want to download any of the specific mods listed here, you can get the links from the urls.ini file that comes in the Atma Weapon Installer zip.

Manually Selecting Mods
We intend to add a Customize option to the installer soon™. For now if you want to customize your mod installation, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure the game is installed on Steam. Download the latest Atma Weapon Installer zip.
  2. You have to extract the files from the main.obb before you apply the mods you've selected. To do that, run the exe from Atma Weapon Installer zip. From here, it depends on what version you want to use as base. If you want any of the 4 presets from Atma Weapon, just pick the one you want. If you want to use Steam's version as base, click the "Skip to Tools" button instead of the 4 presets.
  3. Download any additional mods from the urls.ini (or from the Steam Guide).
  4. Extract them with 7zip[www.7-zip.org] into the FF6 folder directly, replacing all files when prompted.
  5. If anything goes wrong and you don't know what the problem is, you can always run Atma Weapon Installer exe to uninstall it, then uninstall FF6 from Steam. Delete the game installation folder, too, just in case. After that, reinstall FF6 on Steam, and then go back to step 2 above.

Below is a helpful list with what files from obb folder are affected by each mod, listed in the order they're usually installed by Atma Weapon Installer (the order matters, since some files overlap).:

Any idea if this will be ported to linux for Steam Deck use? Reviews so far make this sound like the better version compared to the remaster.
khadafi 16 Nov, 2021 @ 3:41pm 
Can anyone help me? How do you run the Atma setup again if i want to change something?
squaллe 15 Nov, 2021 @ 4:55am 
Hey guys, dunno if this was asked before or not, but are there any plans for adapting the Atma mod for the upcoming pixel remaster of VI?
Cause the mod itself is fantastic and adds so much to the atmosphere of this game and it would be so cool to have at least some parts of it there. Like the color palettes and music.
Hawk X  [author] 22 Jun, 2021 @ 7:14am 
For anyone following this guide but unaware of the "recent" changes we made to the installer last year, I just updated the guide with the current latest version of the Atma installer, which allows manual selection from any of the 76 mods contained within after selecting one of the presets.

How do you run this game in 1080p windowed? The game doesn't give you a 1920x1080 option.
Sunderstorm 11 May, 2021 @ 9:30pm 
Is something akin to this in the works for Final Fantasy V?
