Our own @@Rodman in the News! http://customsforge.com/index.php/topic/55305-customsforge-september-update-newsletter-issue-11-interview-with-rodman-championship/

I think the new one reads more clearly, so good job there. I also will say, I wouldn't take it as a bad thing that you get the same questions over an over. Sometimes people ask the safe questions to judge the response. If the forum is friendly to newcomers, those safe questions will give the answers the new person expects. If they get harsh reactions to those questions then know that the forum isn't open to newcomers. It isn't just about the information. I think you organizers do a great job in being friendly and encouraging to new participants. Keep it up!

Dropping in, lukewarm.

Happy birthday @@NoonyDeloony!

In pursuit of 100%...

Great work @Rodman. I don't think i have ever read that "how to" before. I joined the CS before Customsforge even existed. And i have just never gotten around to it. A little improvement on Rainbow. Those damn bends are stealing my accuracy.

Got rid of the Xs and a better score to boot! Feeling good! If you look closely you can see a tiny bit of improvement ;)

Ha, 4 more plays and 2 quits in frustration, only for a 1% improvement, with a worse streak. Result..... And It sounds so shit! I'll wait an see what song comes up next week, Probably request to go back to beginner.

And now some bass

Late start... forgot to upload these two days ago

There has been feedback about the way the "how to participate" is written. It seems to be too long and people don't understand what they are supposed to do. We surely do not want players to get driven away by not knowing what to do. I tried to simplify it in the opening post and the linked How.... document walking the thin line trying to avoid that we get asked all the questions over and over. lets see and please give feedback. welcome to the CF Rocksmith 2014 Championship - Week 310 - just READ THIS FIRST: How and Why to Join the Championships and start posting scores! Before asking you can get updated about the complete Rocksmith 2014 Championship Rules here

are we allowed to surrender work to someone else more capable? I can't get the sound volume increased in toolkit, and I can't get my tones to work plus I'm not very technical and I have a song I wanted but it needs a finishing touch kind of deal if that's allowed I got manowar blood of the kings, and polk salad annie by tony joe white basically done if someone can please do me the honor and save these charts, I put hours into both

Rainbow. I actually do like this more cheesy Joe Lynn Turner era. Better Lead comes later, hopefully, this was my first trial. The next, marginally better, I forgot to screenshot.

Some improvements

Good to see you posting again!

Late start: Lead http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week310/lead/b01.png http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week310/lead/i01.png The song has so few notes, that it makes it seem like I did extremely badly. http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week310/lead/a01.png Rhythm http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week310/rhythm/b01.png http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week310/rhythm/i01.png http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week310/rhythm/x01.png Bass http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week310/bass/i01.png http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week310/bass/a01.png

This one takes a bit of work for me...this is after 5 plays on rhythm I feel bad for the beginner class....I had a harder time with this than the rhythm songs that are rated 4 this week. Took me several playthroughs in LAS to get though it in SA. This is my 6th playthrough... And some bass

Not Playing enough, left hand is really sore.

Bass Path: Beginner: Kings Of Leon - Molly's Chambers (3) @98.07 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1875759208 Intermediate: Sabaton - Great War (4) @93.62% https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1875759110 Advanced: Rainbow - Can't let you go (6) @89.08% https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1875759345

Start of week 310, beginner level for day one, next the intermediate and then hopefully advance, but that depends on how the intermediate level goes.

The solo in Great War is hard, very hard! My best was 89%

For any comment regarding the content, please do it here : Last Edition the 27th of June 2023 I.Software 1. Editor On Fire (EOF) It is the core of where the magic happens, it was created as a companion to Frets On Fire quite some time ago to allow users to create their own charts and has evolved a lot since then to allow the creation of compatible customs songs for the Guitar Hero games, Phase Shift, Bandfuse, Rock Band and of course Rocksmith and Rocksmith 2014 Remastered or not. You can find this software over at : https://ignition4.customsforge.com/eof (You will need full release + hotfix) 2. DLC Builder Without it, things would be a bit more complicated, it automates the whole packaging process and creates all of the files that are needed for Rocksmith to be able to read and play everything according to plan. It involves a lot to properly translate the files from EOF to the proper file format that Rocksmith can then interpret correctly. It also add Dynamic Difficulty as well as some quality check and is the place to manage tones. You can find this software over at : https://github.com/iminashi/Rocksmith2014.NET/releases 3. WWise Rocksmith uses the WWise file format for reading and navigating through audio files, so we will need it to convert our OGG files to the WEM format. Luckily the DLC Builder does it all on his own properly but we still need to have the software to do the encoding (like you would need the Lame encoder to encode in MP3). You can download the 2021 installer from here : https://ignition4.customsforge.com/tools/wwise The DLC Builder support WWise 2019 and 2021. 4. Other tools that can be quite useful a. Vocals synchronisation I would suggest using Ultra Star Creator because it has a practical interface and it allows you to quickly and simply sync vocals to the audio and then import them without any issues into EOF : https://sourceforge.net/projects/usc/ An alternate lyrics editor that offer a more visual approach is YASS though it is suggested to work from an existing MIDI file that has the vocal melody : https://yass-along.com/ You can also find existing lyrics file from the UltraStar Database (free account is required) : https://usdb.animux.de/ b. Guitar tab editing software I personally use Guitar Pro to edit and make adjustments to the tab that I will later import into EOF, but EOF can edit the tab too. I just find most parts of the tab editing process to be easier in Guitar Pro than in EOF. That is really a personal matter and I won’t talk about how to use Guitar Pro or Tux Guitar (for those who prefer a free Linux compatible tab editor in this whole tutorial. Just be aware that TUX doesn't correctly export the special techniques that Rocksmith can use the same way Guitar Pro does, meaning you'll have to add them in manually within EOF). I still prefer that people know they can use a different tool to do part of the tab editing, instead of being locked in a software they might not find practical. http://www.tuxguitar.com.ar/ https://www.guitar-pro.com/
