It's not fully working yet, but I was playing around with Claude and have almost gotten a DLC converter working from PC to Ps4.

I called it Riff Bridge: https://github.com/rifftbridge/PS4

I am not a coder, I'm a designer, I'm going to plug away at it out of curiosity, but if anyone with more experience can take it over the finish line, that would be great.

My logic. I have a working Homebrew .pkg DLC and a working PC DLC, same dlc. I asked Claude to use the naing reference from https://serialstation.com/titles/CUSA/00745 and the steam app ID's from Steam DB to look at the two files and extrapolate the differences, using open source tools to unpack the .pkg and the .psarc files, then use open source PS4 PKG tool to repack the file to a .psg

PS4-Fake-PKG-Tools-3.87-main did not work

pkgeditor-0-2-231 was useful and has open source files

Heres what im doing:

I opened a existing .parsarc file from the DLC folder, switch the audio with a guitar less version, put No Guitar in the title and then build it. Worked perfectly the first time. I try it again with another song and now it doesnt work anymore. The first song i tried it still works. It just doesnt wanna work a 2nd time. What are the possibilities to cause this bug? 

I'm just starting to create my own CDLC files, and it's going pretty well.

So far for the tones i have been using the import option in RSToolkit. Only is there a way to hear a preview of just the guitar tones before the

entire DLC is build so that i know i have the right tone i want? (or  in DLCBuilder perhaps)..Or do i have to keep restarting Rocksmith to hear it?

Recently I wanted to create my own CDLC and I worked with this Tutorial on YouTube:

Everything went well until I got to testing my CDLC. When I started Rocksmith and played the track, I recognized that the song played and the tabs worked fine as well, but the Tones of the guitar were silent or even mute. So I went back to toolkit and changed the Volume of the Tones. I did this multiple times with different settings and there were only two results.

Result 1: Volume on the tones is positive and I can hear them ingame, but they are a bit too loud.

Result 2: Volume on the tones is negative and they are mute ingame.

Now matter which value I choose in the settings -5.0/-45.0 is silent and 0.0/5.0/35.0 is hearable, but the same volume ingame and a bit too loud for the song.

I hope somebody here could help me or at least knows where I made a mistake. (Song and Preview Settings in Toolkit were bei 0.0/0.0 or -7.0/-5.0)

Main issue: I use PS3 as my main platform when I play Rocksmith 2014 and I convert all the customs I want to play in both Mac and PS3. Almost all songs can still be converted to PS3, but some will not convert and an error occurs. I have tried to import the package into the toolkit and the error shows (attached). 
 

If I could get some help understanding what is wrong and why some packages error, I could maybe unpack the files, fix the problem causing the error, and generate a new package that can be exported to PS3.

The log (below) states :
Input: \\Mac\Home\Downloads\SONGS\Projects\Black-Keys_Fever-Tree_v1_p\Black-Keys_Fever-Tree_v1_RS2014_Mac\audio\mac\274463468.wem
Parse error: unknown chunk type

Again this only happens on some of the CDLCs and I cannot see what causes it. All of them import into DLC Builder fine. I can unpack the package, but I do not know what files is causing the error or what the creator is doing different on these CDLCs.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Any idea what I can do to fix it?

Thank you!

(Example: We have 2 versions of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up", one bass only and the other rhythm only, and I wanted to combine them.)

On the main screen in the field for DLC Key - what goes there? I get that artist name, artist title and album name would be the file I am working on. If my audio file is mp3, do I have to convert it to ogg? Or does the DLC Builder do that? In EOF, where I add the 3 seconds of silence to the start of the audio file, how do I do that in DLC Builder? I am completely lost.

aaaannnnndddd - I'm more confused. I upgraded my wwise. I found and set my profile. I used audacity to convert my mp3 to ogg. I created a psarc file - but no where did I see where to edit the file for note placement. How do I do the work that I would normally do in EOF? Or do I build my eof file first and then import it into DLC Builder?

I am really trying to figure out how to do tone change at different moment at the song. For example I am charting ''Gorguts - Waste Of Morality'' and also ''Bloood Incantation - The Giza Power Plant" and both song have some Clean guitars parts and distorted guitar part. I have read that it has some to do with EOF. I did not find any tutorial about that. 

Also, what is the best or the fastest way to get feed back when creating your own guitar tones in DLC builder ?

Thx 🙂

Also, the reason why i don't know the answer might be that i don't know how to use the DLC builder from the Github page 😳 All i see is the files. Should i make a folder and download everything to it?

Oh yeah and where is everyone?
