@sonicmauro  The toolkit may never run on Catalina.  The toolkit, CFSM, and CGT have many dependencies on third party 32 bit libraries for which there currently are no 64 bit alternatives.  An option for you and other Mac users may be a dual boot Mac, Boot Camp, or just don't upgrade to Catalina.  Currently looking into 64 bit Wineskin port with no success.

@scruffycatherder  dooh!  Here is the thread for the tools for Mac users.  Reinstall the dmg and don't upgrade CFSM or Mojave..

@@poulpo Give the latest build a try and let me know if CFSM is working again.  There were regional DateTime issues that are hopefully now fixed.

@pixel  Download latest build of toolkit.  Fixed a regional DateTime issue.

@@pikey Download and try the latest build.  Fixed DateTime regional issue.

@@adyscoot You can use CFSM>SongManager>Repairs to add Dynamic Difficulty (DD) to CDLC that are missing it.

Download CustomsForge Song Manager (CFSM) from the Tools tab on CustomsForge - http://cfmanager.com/
Recommended repairs:
• 100% Mastery Fix
• Add Dynamic Difficulty (it can be beneficial to select "Overwrite Existing DD" as it's likely the track is old and the DD implementation has been improved over the years)
• Prevent Multitone Exceptions
• Adjust Scroll Speed (leave it at 1.3 for ODLC note density)

Not really sure why you enabled Profiler.  CFSM has no dependency on it.  Are you running pre .Net 4.0 apps?  Can you explain further?

@@gavedrohl You should be using latest CFSM build from here which it seems you are.  So that's good.

Have a look here for how to check your admin status, and how to whitelist the app correctly in your AV.  Windows Defender is likely blocking CFSM from running and you may need to disable UAC.

@@Joey Which CDLC caused the error?  Link plz.

Have a look at this thread, and search for all occurrences of the string ".org" to get additional info.

Well now that explains alot.  Thanks for info and pics.   I put the cart before the horse, my mistake.  I should have asked for the CDLC and screen shots right away.  Oh well, next time.  So that CDLC originates from really old toolkit vers 2.4.  So there was not much internal error checking going on back then.  The arrangement XML has mismatched tone elements (much like I described above, but due to json and xml arrangement tone elements being named differently).

Next time you get an error like that in CFSM, just use the toolkit 'CDLC Creator' to 'Import Package' then edit/fix stuff, and finally 'Generate. The toolkit is more robust at fixing errors of that type.

I'll see if I can add some code to CFSM that would fix it as well.in future

What you now reference is a different that what you began with.  That tone error occurs on package import and reads "Tone data is missing in CDLC and multitones will not change properly ..."  Please take screen shots next time. 

The toolkit can autofix this type of error if you have 'Fix MultiTone Errors' checked in toolkit>General Config and use CDLC Creator>Import Package. 

CFSM>Repairs>Mastery 100% Bug>Prevent Multitone Exceptions will also autofix the error.

@@KJParsley That error occurs typically during psarc generation because there is an XML arrangement file that has multiple tones that do not match-up with the tone names that were used in EOF.  As the error says: 'Use EOF to re-author custom tones or Notepad to attempt manual repair'   (Note: old versions of the toolkit did not check for this condition.  What version are you using?)  For the error: 'XML Arrangement: Lead  Dist is not properly defined,' here's a method that may fix the error:

1) open the Lead XML in Notepad and search for element '2) now scroll up to elements 'tonebase' to 'toned'.  One of these tones must match the name 'Dist'.
3) the quick fix is to make the two tone names the same in all effected 'Dist' tone elements (you may need to add an element to 'tonebase' to 'toned' if it is missing) and then save.
4) finally manually reload all the EOF project files into the toolkit, including the fixed Lead arrangement XML and generate.

 Plz provide link to your EOF project files that cause the error so I can provide a better explanation than this generic one.

@@mimen17 Where you been?  meh

Download latest build of toolkit.  Missing CLI's are restored.

You can use the 'CLI_Unpacker.bat' to quickly extract xml's from dragged/dropped psarcs.  You still need to do step 2 & 3 above to convert to MIDI.

@@UatuTheLurker See if this thread helps.

Edit:  Further reading about offline mode is here.

Delete the toolkit installation directory, and manually download and do a fresh reinstall.  Looks like the auto updater thinks you are on a Mac.  So my guess is that the RocksmithToolkitLib.Config.xml is corrupt.  Doing a fresh install should take care of it.

Then it seems somehow Steam is auto verifying song.psarc and/or cache.psarc.  You will have to figure out how to disable Steam verification.

@@KliqxTV Please post your workflow here, for the benefit of others, when you figure out how to disable the auto verification on your steam account.

@@KliqxTV

1. Have you Verified Integrity of Game Files? 
2. After doing this switch to Play in Offline Mode.
3. Shut down the game and turn off your internet connection.
4. Now use CFSM to disable songs. 
5. Restart the game in Offline Mode.
6. Verify that the disabled songs are not shown in the game.  If the disable songs are still there then it may be CFSM issue or issue with your system.  If the songs are gone then it may be Steam issue or issue with your system. 
    

@@darkclark Could be the CDLC is corrupt.  Use CFSM to repair it first before trying to convert it again.

To say that this utility (CGT) has always resulted in your save file becoming corrupt is utter nonsense.  In fact CGT has been used to recovered 100% of recoverable corrupt games saves.  You can send your corrupt game save here for recovery.

There are many easy ways to make backups of games save files, so you are ready when shit happens ...

CGT>Games Saves>Backup

CSFM>UserProfiles>Backup

Added the ability to modify all non-dlc related game images to CGT Image Injector feature.  It is included in CGT Version 2.1.8 release

Having a brain meltdown, ah frack!  You are asking about Mac version of tools ... so answer is to download latest Wine Port dmg from here.  You don't need to install Wwise or anything else cause it is already preinstalled in the dmg.  Make sure you completely delete the old dmg and installation folder first.  Sry for confusion.

If you install Wwise 2013 to the default location then make sure the toolkit General Config>Wwise Path is empty.  If you did a custom install then you must specify the Wwise Path, e.g., C:\Program Files\Audiokinect\Wwise\Authoring\Win32\Release\bin

@JazzMasterJ  First, make sure you have Wwise  2013 installed and working.  After importing psarc, delete the existing audio and preview audio files, then try adding your new wav audio file before generating,  

Post screenshots if the issue persists.

@Killgreed  Post screenshots if you can.  What OS and .Net Framework are you running?  Have you tried deleting 'My Documents/CFSM' folder before doing clean installation?  After installation turn off Autoupdate in Settings.
