Oi, I know I can still change it myself, but mine was also a Master Mode score. Just sayin'. :D

Hi, folks. I'll be using this thread to maintain the latest versions of EOF in one place. To start, download and extract EOF 1.8RC12: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ih70h6p67iy77ka/eof1.8RC12.zip You can keep that zip file handy to avoid downloading it more than once. When I release a new hotfix, all you have to do is replace the files from the above zip file with the ones from the hotfix. The latest hotfix (9-26-2020) is here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/6xzg32k4a9gqwxs/eof_hotfix_%289-26-2020_4%29.zip/file *If you use a non QWERTY US English keyboard layout, and keyboard controls/shortcuts aren't working for you, please make a post describing what keyboard shortcuts aren't working, and what the Info panel says the "CODE" and "ASCII" values are after you use each of the keyboard controls in question. I can make Mac releases and will try to post one with each Windows release, but my ability to do so is sometimes limited. If I don't get around to releasing a Mac build you want, just remind me to do so. The latest Mac build (9-26-2020) is here: http://ignition.customsforge.com/eof/download/487 Unless you have oggenc and LAME installed (these don't come with the Mac build for licensing reasons), you won't be able to have EOF automatically convert from MP3 to OGG when you create a new chart. If you have trouble getting those set up on your system, here is a package that should get them installed and usable by EOF: http://www.t3-i.com/apps/eof/downloads/eof_utilities.pkg Please provide any and all feedback, including bugs and feature requests. If possible, also please review the included documentation (manual, tutorials) and let me know if you find any room for improvement there. Eventually I plan to add a Rocksmith authoring section to the pro guitar tutorial, but the community's knowledge of the Rocksmith songs' makeup changes pretty quickly so it's hard to know when particular features are considered fully known. For any features that ARE fully known (like anchors), please feel free to remind me if they aren't incorporated into EOF yet, in case I missed any information being passed around on this forum or the Google group. Note: If you are reporting a bug, please specify which hotfix (date) you're using. I release hotfixes on a somewhat random schedule, sometimes more than once per day, so the issue being reported may have been fixed in a release you haven't tried yet.

This is a collection of answers to questions that readers have raised in the past and may find helpful now or in future: I did take a look at your EOF project files. Two things, the new version of EOF creates abridged XML arrangement files. What this means is that the arrangement Xml files are smaller and easier to read because they don't contain all the default values. The toolkit puts in the default values before generating the CDLC. So as a result you need to use DDC 3.3 or turn off abridged XML arrangements in EOF preferences if you are using an older version of the toolkit. You should not have any problem using the abridged XML arrangements with the new beta version of the toolkit as it handles all this for you and includes DDC 3.3. The other thing I noticed in your EOF project files is the 'original.mp3' is encoded at 128 kbps and the ogg and the wems seem to be really cranked up. As a point of reference, ODLC is typically recorded at 128 kbps which translates to the default toolkit Wwise Audio Quality 4. Ogg and Wave audio quality can not be improved simply by cranking up the toolkit's or Wwise audio quality selector. To do so is actually detrimental because file size is increased with no benefit to the audio quality. Here is the rough translation of audio quality vs bit rate: QualityFactor = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }; BitRate = new int[] { 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 320 }; For the benefit of our readers, if you want uber quality audio in the game then you have to start uber quality wav or ogg audio files from the beginning. ================== 'Seems to be the bass track that is making the game crash. When I don't add it into the toolkit, everything goes perfect. I wonder what the hell is wrong with the bass track to make it mess everything else up'. Eb Drop Db should be entered into the toolkit editor as (-3, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1) even for bass. This tuning is included in the toolkit and can be selected directly from the Add/Edit Arrangement 'Tuning' dropdown. Crashing after tuning can be an indication that Sections/Phrases are not set properly in EOF. ========================= I was recently asked in a PM how to repair this CDLC with the toolkit to make it work with Remastered. This CDLC has several issues. In addition to the bad multitone, there is no preview audio which also hoses things up for you. Also there is no DD. You can fix these issues with the toolkit but the original charter should be contacted and asked to reauthor and fix the CDLC too so others can benefit. Here's how to fix the CDLC so that it works properly with Remastered. 1. Install the latest beta version of the toolkit. 2. Open the toolkit and select the 'Configuration' menu at the top of the screen and check the box "Auto Generate DDC" towards the bottom of page. Press "Close" button. (You need to do this because this CDLC has no DD content which also causes Play Count issues in Remastered.) 3. Select 'Import Package' button and select the CDLC. While the CDLC is loading into the toolkit you will see an audio converter command window. This window is one indicator that there is no preview audio so the toolkit is automagically generating it for you. 4. Now take a look at the Guitar - Lead arrangement. You will notice that the Lead arrangement uses a tone named "AFITotal_dist". This is the root of the problem. The charter broke the multitone by specifying a different tone named "DISTORTION" probably in EOF. 5. Select "AFITotal_dist" in the Tones groupbox. Press the "Edit" button. Rename Tone Information "AFITotal_dist" to "DISTORTION" (DISTORTION is case sensitive). Click "OK" when done editing. 6. You should see that "AFITotal_dist" in the Tones groupbox has changed to "DISTORTION". 7. Change the CDLC version number from "1" to "2". 8. Click the "Generate" button. Click "Save". When prompted to "update 'Arrangement Identification'" answer "Yes". That should do it. Please let me know if this fixes it for you. ============ Another option is to type the AppID of the song that you own into the 'App ID Updater' text box. (i.e type over '248750' with the App ID you own) in the Packer/Unpacker and press the 'Repack AppId' button and select the CDLC that you want to assign new App IDs. Get the latest toolkit beta release here. ============

Look what you made me do............. no bass tomorrow...... night night all

Ben Howard's Oats in the Water and The Blue Stones' Black Holes (Solid Ground) would be immensely appreciated!

Wanted to get this tutorial up for you guys. I'm going to be updating it but here's the rough list thus far. Thanks. http://customsforge.com/index.php/topic/45961-asiowdm-tutorial-update-in-progress/

@@Anwyn has tried to provoke me into playing bass with that 99.92% score but i have resisted, plusses on the others though ............. the bass can wait night night all

Being a big rainbow fan one of the first thing i did when i discovered cdlcs over 4 years ago was to download all the rainbow i could find (and made a few bad once myself). But i quickly discovered that Richie Blackmore was not going to make it easy for me. So i kinda stuck to playing the riffs from smoke on the water and black night and left Rainbow alone. But today i managed to pass a solo on Scoreattack and it feels great. (it still sounded bad but i don't care right now) http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/Lost%20in%20hollywood%209563_zpsoyidi1aq.jpg

Not really into them, but this sounds quite alright! Fun fact: One of the ghosts used to be my guitar teacher, I'm from the same town
