"Some versions ago everything worked much easier..." 

Easy answer.  Then just use that version.  No one asked you to drive the Lexus.  We are trying to make the toolkit better and add new features.  So naturally things are going to be different and buggy for  awhile.  Patience.

 

EDIT:  To be clear these are beta releases and are not official yet.  If you don't want to take part in the beta testing then continue to use the official releases and stop whining.

 

EDIT EDIT: Constructive comments are always welcomed.  BTW I will try to fix the bug.

 

EDIT EDIT EDIT:  Without adding more new bugs :)  

Yeah sorry.. wasn't my intention to sound rude. 

If they are not official then why do I just have to click on the update button in the toolkit to download them?

I always just want to give feedback.

EDIT: Went back to drive my Mercedes and downgraded to the recommended release :-)

And something else... just updated the toolkit again... now I can't edit the arrangments any more but have to remove and add anew every time I want to change something.... and it doesn't even know Eb Standard tuning any more??? What are you doing to the toolkit? Some versions ago everything worked much easier...

So I try to improve my customs with good previews now. I even made 2 second fadein/fadeouts. Sadly the toolkit can't find Wwise... so i have to still do everything by hand. There should be something in the configuration where I can tell the toolkit where Wwise is installed. Because I changed the standard istallation path of Wwise - could this be the problem?

I got v2013.2.2 build 4828 64-bit and this should be working, right?

First off, which version of wwise is installed on your computer? The toolkit is known to work with only few version of wwise so far.

 

Second, NEVER let the toolkit create the preview since this result in one of the worst preview you can have. The preview will be the exact same thing as the actual song in EOF so you will have the leading silence that will also be in the preview and i don't think anyone wants to wait 3 to 5 seconds of blank before hearing the preview.

 

EOF can easily create a preview wav file with the "create preview" function, that will be more alike official DLC this way and you can use this preview file in wwise the same way you do with the ful song file.

I have Wwise v2013.2.2 build 4828 64-bit.... before the update the wems I created worked perfectly with the toolkit.

I do the conversion from wav to wem always by hand in the Wwise software (thats how it was descriebd in some tutorial-video)

In this new case after the error in the toolkit I now created a preview with EOF and converted it with Wwise. I figured out how the toolkit detects both song.wem and song_preview.wem and now it works.... however there's still the note in the toolkit that it should work automatically(without the song_preview.wem) which it didn't.

Is the convertion to .wem now also possible in the toolkit itself without opening the Wwise Software? Cause it looks like it would be...

@@cozy1 : Yes my .wem file was 3 minutes and something... it was the whole song converted from the .wav

Does this mean I don't have to create a .wem for the toolkit but can just use the ogg or wav?

heres the .wem (if you still need it)  http://www.mediafire.com/listen/g21mquvowz6e7i7/Follow_the_Water_A87855F1.wem

I updated the toolkit some hours ago to the newest version... since then I can't create new customs... it's about the .wem file... I never made a preview before since the toolkit automatically made one for me - this doesn't seem to work in the newest version (it says that the preview file couldn't be found).

I don't even now how i can add the preview .wem in the toolkit.. theres only a box for the actual .wem but not for the preview...
About the conversion: Can I do everything with the toolkit now? because I was used to open Wwise and do everything in there...

Here's the log I am supposed to send:

Also thank you very much @@raynebc : for all your help answering my questions and for the amazing job you do developing and improving those tools.

have one on me :D

@@firekorn :

Ok! Thank you very much so far!! Gonna try to fix it tomorrow.

just 3 short questions:

1)Will the actual newest version prevent this problem?

2)About the "generate all diffs" -function: Is this the same as when the fret hand positions get created automatically when saving? Or should I click that that every time I make a custom because it does sth different/extra?

3)How do I move around/delete frethand-positions? I can't even mark them right now....

You helped me out alot these days.... thanks heaps! Can I buy you a virtual beer or sth? http://beeroverip.org/random/

I am using v1.8RC10(r1372)

I tested only lead (everything fine) then I published then I tested rythm ...

The thing is that there is no note in the gp file that ever goes that high.. thats why I believe that maybe the open note on 13th position goes over the 24th fret - or the gap between open note and 13th/17th string is too high or soemthing... I don't know only some assumptions

I put the files you requested(and some more) into here: (upload will take about 12 more minutes :-) )

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yac6o11cbezj5xf/AACJ5GFc8PCalwivSwu3Pd5na?dl=0

 

From there you can move around and delete the unwanted FHP and add some that you think necessary but there some little things to keep in mind.

Hey!  I got another frethand problem in my new project.... I start to understand a little how this works..

So the frethand positions get generated anyway when I save the project - is this the same that happens when I click generate all diffs?

I think now they cause an error where EoF tells me that my rythm part uses more frets than 24.. I also have again nasty glitches at some parts

http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh283/pipiclub/fret2.jpg

Could the open string be the problem? I know now how to create a new frethand position and that it is valid until the next frethand position but how can I move frethand positions around?

If I create for example one fhp for the red open note....the position gets created way before this note.... I assume this is because of the camera moving... but I would like to move that position just before the open note.... 

Maybe you could check out the rythm part of my newest release (Architects - Follow the water).. you will see the

errors - thanks!

I managed to change the tuning using the latest rs toolkit. See the post, i wrote the correct values to edit the tuning through xml file. Cheers.

http://customsforge.com/topic/17779-accidents/?hl=accidents

 

That solved the problem.. thank you!

Hello there cozy! I didnt even start RS... Its not the savegame. After I repacked... I direcrly loaded the new file again into the toolkit to check and the tuning was back to the original one. The toolkit didn't do any changes to the tuning despite of me telling him to.

I tried to change the tuning of a psarc because it was set wrong by the creator.

I imported the psarc into the toolkit and edited the parts, changed the tuning to the right one and generated anew - hoewever the tuning was back to original after I checked... other users had the same problem...

Is this a bug?   Somebody wrote that he fixed the xml by hand - I also tried to load it into wordpad but the tuning says something like

<tuning string0="-4" string1="-2" string2="-2" string3="-2" string4="0" string5="0" />

what do the numbers stand for? What would Db,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb be in those numbers?

Thanks!

So the problem was ms security essentials - after disabling it the syncing worked fine and I had zero corrupt files in the end.
Thanks for the help

I got also one question about tremolos... does EoF support tremolo notes when imported with guitar pro? I normaly get just single notes without tremolo after I imported... do only special tremolos work?

ok...thanks!  I'll try to work with it.... I think I will start from scratch.. so this happened cause I put the same position several times  in a row? ..but this happens somehow automatically in eof... or I don't know...I think my problem is that I don't understand what the difference between frethand position and fingering is.

Because it's always the same error just several times that the index finger is used but the frethand position is on a different fret ( I did  "Generate all Diffs" first)

One quick question: I searched the forum but didn't find any answers - what are "pitchless lyrics" and what is "playable freestyle"? Should I click yes or no when I get asked if I want to write pitchless lyrics as playable freestyle? I always clicked no cause in some youtube tutorial the guy says I should ckilck no.

Maybe you're having trouble cause you can't see what you're editing?

 

Press F11 and hit the HAND POS box.  Now you can see all the anchors.

 

As FireKorn said add/remove whatever anchors you want.  Seek to that orange open note and press SHIFT+F.  It should say 10.  Erase that.

It said nothing... I put in 2... then I clicked save.. now EoF told me that there are problems with frethand positions... I ignored that, but now the whole song looks like this l:

http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh283/pipiclub/prob1.jpg

strang is also that if i reload the saved file the field where I put 2 before is empty again...

So far it didn't work...  i set up all finger positions... the affected arpeggio has second finger on 2nd fret then come three open strings.. so no fingers

http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh283/pipiclub/prob.jpg

Will try... Thanks!

Hello there!

For some reason  some open strings in my project are displayed in the game in the 10th position/10th fret . I don't want that... I want them to be displayed in the second fret. I think its because they are  followed by an arpeggion containig  notes in the 10th fret. But the arpeggio they belong to starts in the second fret. How do I tell EoF where to place open strings?

Is this what leagacy/lane is for when pressing n in EoF?

WIndows Update was in fact active.... i will maybe try again. I find it however rather strange that your tool just marks so many of my dlc as corrupt. Honestly I don't care if some part of a dlc is "corrupt" in any way if the dlc works fine for my purposes. I like that dlc and don't want it to be renamed and moved out of my folder in some quarantine folder... It's not like it is a virus that does damage to my system. Why would you implement this function? Am I supposed to contact the charter and tell him (or her) to fix the custom? And until then I am not allowed to play the song because of what reason exactly?
Don't get me wrong... I like the sync function and I appreciate your work but I just don't get why you would even look for corrupted dlc... If customs don't work properly or create some issues the people who downloaded it tell the charter and then in most of the times the problem is taken care of.

Is there a way to sync the save without this search for corrupted files?
Thanks!

Hello! One question - just tried to sync the dlc so that the game will run faster again. What does it mean when corrupted dlc is found? It marked some dlc as "bad" - that dlc was working just fine...  after moving these dlcs into quarantine the toolkit crashed...  I'm kinda worried when sth crashes while it is messing with my saves and dlc...  any tips?

When I tried to look at the newest songs this morning on my mobile, the link I have on my homescreen suddenly guided me to ignition - and I wasn't amused... No songs were listet at all... there was also no refresh button to get the songs - only the magnifying class. After some time I just gave up. Did you test the page on moile devices?

I have to say that Ignition looks nice and everything but I can't see any reason why I should use it instead of the old search. I have only disadvantages with it( no records being displayed without clicking refresh, no direct links for seeing all songs by one artist or by one charter in just one click, to see comments I also have to click extra)...  colors might be a question of taste... but I prefered white an plain style

Now as you recommend to use ignition I have to say: 
Whenever I go on the ignition page I always have to click on reset to see any songs... that issue kept me on the old search as I see new songs right away. Also being directly able to see all songs by one band or by one charter just by clicking on it is very comfortable. A feature that ignition doesn't have... I really just rather stay on the old search. Please don't remove it.

Hey there!

Sorry but I couldn't find the answer in any tutorial or video..

How can I change the length of a note in EOF? Is there a shortcut, similar to pressing F when I want to change the fret position?

Thanks!

 

PPS : And yeah having a drop down list with 200 genre and putting up to 3 different genre could be done but i'm not the one deciding it and those who do doesn't seems to do anything about it at the moment so this discussion is kinda endless i guess.

Please dear developers... just do that - it will do the job just fine... everybody will be happy....done.
