shrubbery

I was talking about this:

http://fiddlejaminstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/swing-graphic.jpg

I don't have TuxGuitar. I'm creating my tabs in GuitarPro 6.

Can be Triplet or doesn't export to GP5. Either way I can't really tell what it does or how EOF handles it.

Are you sure dotted note are not working? The swing/shuffle feeling is also not importing from GP files. All imported eight notes are straight.

Actually you are right, I thought it's a dotted note but it was different dot - Staccato. Dotted note doesn't even show up in any toolbar in TuxGuitar. Nor can I find attributes you are talking about, so I have no idea.

You resumed converting, great! Any ETA on Respect?

See? You have no idea what I'm saying, I use EOF only for GP to XML conversion. You can only make something that is on par with EOF at best and I don't need another tool to do that, sorry. It has no potential of advancement, only workarounds for RS features stuffed into text markers, no thanks.

I never said there is not enough info, it just wouldn't be any better that what there already is, actually probably worse since you can't leverage advanced EOF features even if you wanted to.

 

Well, I mentioned quite a few already. Of the top of my head: per-arrangement tone switching, phrases and sections,

chord fingering, arpeggio outlines or hand positions if you want to. There is no place for any of these in GP format. And I'm sure somebody who edits charts in EoF manually could come up with more examples of stuff that can't be put into tab.

 

Maybe you should just spend some time charting before you waste your time on this. You do what you want but it would be useless for me.

It won't be easier than what is available now, I can just as well create empty EOF project and import GPA & GP, this part doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that I need separate tabs and projects for all arrangements which just keep diverging when I fix them, it bothers me that there are RS features and techniques which are not supported in GP tab, it bothers me that I lose chord fingering with every import (also something that you'll lose without EOF). Having to reimport notes into project is just a minor nuissance, I can do that with a few keypresses, but your version isn't going to help much with anything else. All this additional information need to be added to the tab and there is no place in GP format other than stuffing everything in the text markers, not nice (I don't even know what is the limit for these, probably 255 characters).

I know, I use text markers for sections. I'm just telling you that by reimplementing GP to XML conversion isn't going to make anything easier.

If you mean measure markers that is pretty limiting to timing and is shared by all tracks so again you need to copy and edit file for each arrangement. I know this really well, plain GP file is really limited, it's a pain in the ass...

What do you mean belong to XML? Tone definition source format is always JSON.

 

As for the switching definition, I agree, I even want to define switches right in the tab (another unsupported feature).

 

I am currently trying tone autoloading in toolkit with my scripts for updating XML for the first time. It took me hours to narrow it down, it seems that using exact measure boundary time causes it to freeze on load (actually in this case it happens only if I add more than 2 tone switches). When I subtract 1ms it works. RS engine probably doesn't like events scheduled at exactly the same time.

I see you're still missing tone support? I was going to suggest extraction from profile like @@Alex360 did, really useful, but there is no SNG compilation support for tones at all?

Of course not, just as one example, with plain GP file you will need to handle phrases and sections with awkward workarounds (possibly with multiple copies of the file like I have to with EOF now).

@@xavatar so you won't consider using TuxGuitar framework? It already knows how to read GP too (and does it very well) and functionality can be further enhanced beyond what will ever be possible in unmodified GP and EOF import.

I don't know if there is a limit to how many switches per arrangement can be made but you can only load 4 different tones per arrangement.

Data can take either approx. 2 or 4 billion switches, not sure where RS limits are.

You can open project properties (F9?) and set Delay. But I wouldn't expect notes to fit after you do that, that's why people either move measures in EoF or use licensed GPA to create sync and export to EoF.

@@Snakez, I wouldn't be so sure, that may be just leftover code from RS1, just like old SNG format support.

If you're talking about guitar then I enjoy my Describing The Sky, it's not too intense but there's one extra wide chord that I always mess up...

My top 5:

 

Beer - any decent 12° pale lager (Pilsner type from Czecho-Slovakia),

Port wine (fortified wine)

Cuba Libre

Screwdriver

Baileys

The popup messages used to work perfectly in Rocksmith 1, but I don't think it's been figured out if/how they work in Rocksmith 2014.

 

I think popups were never translated into SNG and since RS2 does not include XMLs...

See my post here: http://customsforge.com/topic/1405-mac-version/?do=findComment&comment=12202

 

Applies to Linux too.

Care to share the knowledge regarding how/what to install for Wwise on OSX?

You will need Wine and download Wwise installers, look for 2013.2.4 download links in here (install with "wine msiexec /i" or "wine start") and then use wav2wem script. Mac and PC WEM files are identical.

Yeah, I said I know, I had to write the code to shift it :)

That's actually what I have in mind. It would need to be an extension to tab format (probably TG native) to hold extra RS information (techniques, per track phrases and sections, tone switching) and GPA sync would be only applied on export.

 

Basically reimplementation of tab to RS XML conversion is the huge part of what would be necessary to have it working. I don't care about manually created DD either but it wouldn't be impossible.

 

BTW I know how to extract sync points from GPA database.

I don't really care about replacing toolkit code now, I would like to replace EoF by TuxGuitar entirely and with all RS features... but I don't see myself diving into Java anytime soon

@@th1rtyf0urYou should install dotnet35sp1 to get-post processing working I've no idea why it hangs up though.

I think it hangs because of the wrong Wwise version, 2013.1.3 failed spectacularly, 2013.2.2 probably thought is compatible. Here are the links:https://www.audiokinetic.com/files/?get=2013.2.4_4836/Authoring_Win32.msihttps://www.audiokinetic.com/files/?get=2013.2.4_4836/Authoring_Data.msiI have only dotnet40 for toolkit. A dialog babbling something about unknown runtime pops up (missing dotnet35 apparently) and then it ends with "Process completed with warning(s)." message but WEM is there.

Also I downloaded tuxguitar, so thats like Guitar Pro I take it. But it wont read the .gpx files either

Actually it can, but not with the version that is available for download.There's http://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxguitar-fork/ which has gpx plugin for download, not sure if it works.I'll try to compile whole TuxGuitar for Windows but I don't promise anything.edit: Here you go https://www.dropbox.com/s/zcwzmptqxgrp9om/tuxguitar-1.3-SNAPSHOT-windows-x86.r1104.zip but it apparently requires Java to be installed
