Hacking XCXSound, an easy way to change the music in Xenoblade X

After reading a modding tutorial by GameFAQs user Monado_III for X's music, I just thought to myself that there has to be a better way. Soooo...I made this! It streamlines the process quite a bit! Usage instructions are at the link.

Oh, and any feedback is welcome, of course!!

Also, as a side note, I really love this game's music...but the hacker in me wanted to try this!!

I just released version 0.2. Changes:

- I added 14 more songs.
- Ambush music doesn't glitch, and MONOX is replaced correctly.
- There's a "No music" option that completely removes any music that would be playing.
- Backup and restore features were added, so you can save your audio mods to a zip file and restore it later on.

Version 0.3 released! Now, you can remove the flight music!! Note that there are a lot of gotchas (see http://refi64.com/proj/xcxsound.html#rm-flight for more details).

Many thanks to GameFAQs user @hshamsedin546 for testing this out, since I don't have a flight module yet!

Thank you so much, any recommendations on volume of tracks to use?

There is a version of the same themes minus the vocal song?

Version 0.4 released! Highlights are a volume editor and support for changing the overdrive theme, as well as fixed some glitches. (Full changelog here: http://refi64.com/proj/xcxsound.html#log-v0.4)

@Chickensalad Just do some trial and error. 0.4 comes with a built-in volume editor, so you can just try a few times until you get it right. Hopefully, the next version will try to automatically change the volume (although it likely won't be perfect).

@cucholix What do you mean? Which vocal song are you talking about?

The same song themes minus lyrics.
