If you deleted all pirated ODLC, you can contact any Playlist Admin on the RS Playlist discord with a clean json from CFSM

You need to own Cherub Rock.

There's 0 reason those songs stopped working unless you are pirating some of those songs.

Any song bought still works perfectly fine and have never been impacted by the delisting.

No advantage, it just takes space on your hard drive.

All version of the game uses steam and will be updated to the remastered so you'll necessary have the right version if you own the game.

Thing is, there's no obvious fix for a RTC not being detected and it requires far more info to give any kind of answer to that.

Does it work without any mod at all? (no cdlc dll, no rs asio, no rs mods)

You just notate chord like you normally would in GP. Only thing that don't transfer over well is arpeggios (held chord shape) as RS uses its own kind of thing that GP has no proper equivalent for.

Considering your dll is the wrong size, i'd guess you have an old/wrong one.

You can find the correct one here :

You don't need to use the beta version on Mac for the Bypass to work.

No.

We haven't allowed delisted songs to be made as CDLC since RS2014 release that has seen the delisting of 5 songs. We have no reason to change that rule at the moment.

Have you made sure to update all the mods you were using?

With the recent RS2014 update, the dll for cdlc as well as RS_Mods and RS_Asio had update that are necessary to do if you want the game to work with the update.

There's no name, just the ID of arrangement you've played which you can't easily (or at all) tie back to an actual song name.

They are indeed missing section. Adding DD will also add section but the way they will be placed will be far from ideal as it'll be totally arbitrary.

If I interpret your description correctly, it just means there's no dynamic difficulty (something that is against our rule for any CDLC posted after 2017) and that can be added by CFSM.

We do not ban people based on request.

People that are being banned here and from RSPlaylist were caught using pirated content of official DLC which is against our rule and against RSPlaylist rules.

It has nothing to do with the request thread at all.

This has been our stance on delisted content since 2014 was released and that 5 songs didn't transfer from RS1 to 2014.

We had no reason at this point to change that stance.

If you didn't had interest in those songs for the 10 years they were available, I don't see why we should take risk of changing our stance on that subject now to satisfy that low interest.

I played the pitch-shifted version, didn't like the tone. I'd definitely have to spend some time in rr to get that strange riff. Also, had to play it twice because I forgot to screenshot.

Note that the riff is far less stanger if played in the original tuning as you don't have to string skip and he basically holds the index down and just slide around as needed.

The original tuning is in E drop B and the pitch shift effect is definitely not all that great but i doubt many people would want to play it as written originally and the download number kinda goes along with that theory.

Google have put up notice about the change to allow to avoid that issue by going through a few steps before the change was done. Now that the deadline has past, any user that did not go through those step have to do a little more work to get their link to be available as freely as they were before.

Anchor is a vague term that is uses quite a bit, I think it's mostly referring to sections and anchored beats (not sure on the specifics tho, a few other things tend to set it off too).

Anchor are what is referred to as Fret Hand Position in EOF. Anchor is the official wording by Ubisoft notetracker.

CDLC aren't available on PS4 so.

There's tricks using handshape to actually do it but it's very time consuming and also clutter the screen very quickly while FHP already give that indication to begin with to the player so adding it is only interesting if there's an actual difference between what the FHP shows and what the single note fingering should be like how Ubisoft did it for Through the Fire and Flames with the riff being played with the hand over the fretboard which invert the fingering compared to what the FHP indicate.

The blue highlight indicate what will be included in a "line" in Rocksmith.

You can edit that highlight by selecting the words you want in a single line and pressing ctrl+M.

Lately there have been some users leaving a few nice comments though

Activity in comment have somewhat picked up. In regards to critcism, it's harder to get people to comment like that because most wouldn't even be able to tell what is a problem or not so that's why there isn't all that many doing it.

That's also a complicated thing, to educate even random user on what is good and bad in a CDLC isn't an easy job.

the report system is good i guess , maybe will be better if there will be a system that will reminds people to report a bad cdlc like "have you enjoyed the cdlc you download of this charter ? if not report here"

That's the ideal goal but it's work and time. A lot of those things aren't that we don't want them, we really do want to integrate those things. It's just not that easy to do.

Speaking as someone who was trying to look through the various tutorials recently to figure things out, I can say its definitely a problem. I made a few CDLC some years back which weren't too demanding & I didn't fully understand what I was doing. I recently came back and had to re-learn how to create CDLC. 

If you have any idea to improve it, please share them. I'd agree a good cleaning of all the outdated and useless tutorial could definitely be helpful. It's not that much work to do so i should probably get around that sooner rather than later but that's also why my tutorial is the only one that is directly available from the top link. That's all one should need to click to get started really.

The progams are extremely lacking on documentation (that I could find) making it not easy to learn just basic functionality unless its covered in the guides (and it often isn't). The forum search was a big problem also. If I was trying to find some help on a particular problem, its not easy to search and find what you need.

EOF have a huge doc but there's a lot that is aimed toward GH/RB custom which don't really help for people solely looking into RS CDLC. As much as i would love to have a dedicated software for RS specifically, no one made such a tool so far so we make do with what we have. It's also why my tutorial definitely give more detail about the toolkit/DLC Builder aspect of things as that's where things aren't exactly explained and a lot of what goes in EOF are details that are quite situational too so making proper tutorial about it gets even harder.

I'm sure its much easier to find quick help on Discord, but I don't use Discord and I'm sure a lot of would-be charters don't either

It helps to be able to have a direct communication with either experience charter or dev of the tools which makes things far more responsive than the forum is for that kind of quick Q&A. I can understand it's not for all though but that does yield better/faster result than the forum.

but as far as i know 4 years ago people was alot more passionate in making things together and now days it doesn't really happens alot

It happens, just not all that plubicly. I'm behind a small group over discord of a few charter where we use each other for QC before publishing (shout out to @palms46 @Radekore and @Karmeleaux) but i specifically consider who i put into that group based on the quality of what they've done already and i'm fairly certain other people have kinda created their own little bubble here and there so there's definitely people working together, i'd say even more so than 4 years ago cause i haven't really see many sucessfull group on the forum over the years. But that kind of thing is also a workload if you want something that actually stand the test of time. Not that many people can carry that for a long time.

Unfortunately one of the worst problems is the thank you system , Cdlc maker couldnt get some decent thank you or please fix that or that messages

I could care less about this emotions system , when some one saying a thank you message or showing care , thats worth much more

the community is very dry and not very supportive when it comes to making things together as cdlcs makers (the other support is fine)

on top of all that making cdlcs is very time consuming , buying tabs or copying tabs , making the cdlc itself and testing and adjusting the cdlc (if you actually care about your cdlc)

The feeling of looking at some of the cdlcs you bought the tabs for and seeing 30 downloads in few months doesn't feel good

It's hard to incentivize random user to interact with charter, we try things but it's also development time that isn't freely available. It's definitely not perfect, as it is there's about 1 comment every 100 download or so on average. It's not all that bad but it's not particularly impressive either.

I'd disagree that the community is dry, the discord is plenty active and there's tons of answer there for any kind of questions. The forum has some decent activity in some area but it's also a forum which doesn't make it great for a fair bit of stuff and Ignition is still being worked on to be improve especially on the reporting system to help seperating the good from the bad and to clean up the database from dead link. If someone wants to find help and people to talk with, it's quite a nice community overall.

If all you look after are download, it's simple, do popular song, don't do good CDLC. That's just how the user are, they look for the song they know first. The work a charter do doesn't change anything to the DL number, otherwise i would have more download on the most unknown songs i've worked on. Talk to any decent charter and they'll agree it's a problem but it is also not an easy one to solve. We've put forward the favorite charter system so that people can more easily follow work from their favorite charter so that they'll notice even songs that they don't look for more easily but there's still room for improvement. It'll take time but we do think about it.

It's a tough situation but it's not all that grim either and the community is far from dead which also means things can evolve if there is push for it.
