@RockNRollKid: If you point me to specific songs that are affected by this, I can take a look. There have been bugs in my GP5 converter in the past which resulted in invalid .gp5 files, so that's always a possibility.

 

@SixStringSlinger2k: The song is converting fine with my development version, so I imagine that one should also be fixed with the next release. (Any day now, I'm pretty much done with my todo list.)

Off the top of my head these files have issues:

 

KISS_Cold-Gin_v1_DD_p   (Doesn't export to PDF on Rhythm part)

Kiss_Hotter-Than-Hell_v1_p  (Doesn't have any tabs when GP5 is launched)

Michael-Jackson_Give-In-To-Me_v1_p (Doesn't export to PDF for Lead, Rhythm or Bass. Can't scroll beyond Page 2 in Lead inside of GP5)

Beatles_Mean-Mr-Mustard_v1_0_DD_p   (Doesn't have any tabs when GP5 is launched)

faitmidl_p  (Faith No More - Midlife Crisis - Doesn't have any tabs when GP5 is launched)

Alright, I tested those with my dev version, and Cold Gin, Give In To Me and Midlife Crisis are working there. The other two are still broken, I'll investigate. However, after having looked at the (working) gpx output for those two, I can already tell you that you won't enjoy their tabs either way, because unfortunately these CDLC did not properly sync the beat markers with the music. As a consequence, my program cannot properly determine the rhythm and note duration, and so the generated tabs are very messy. (That's probably also part of the reason that the gp5 output isn't working.)

I look forward to your updated version so that I can get Cold Gin, Give Into Me and Midlife Crisis. Thanks for looking into this. Sucks about the other 2 tabs though. 

As a workaround in the meantime, you could export to gpx and open them with TuxGuitar, then save them to gp5 (if you wish). TuxGuitar has just yesterday released a new official version with gpx support.

Thanks for the heads up. I will give that a try. Thanks again. 

Alright, found the problem and fixed it. The remaining two can now be opened in GP5. But as I said, the tab output is messy and probably not very useful. Nothing I can do about that, it's something the CDLC author would have to fix.

 

In any case, I think I'm done with all the bugs I had on my todo list, so I guess I'll go ahead and prepare for a new release :)

I will probably look into those Tabs in GP5 just so that I can see how messy they are. You know, to satisfy my curiosity and all. :)

Alright, the new version is ready: http://code.fosshub.com/RocksmithToTab/downloads/

 

I also decided to create a new thread over in the mods & projects forums, because I think that forum is now a better fit. So, please head over there :)

@@cabalistic, gotta try to update this dep for rstk, thanks :)

You guys are killing me with the notifications. ;)

 

I wish there was a way to set this thread _only_as a "digest version" where they only email you once a day.... :P

 

Carry on, my wayward guitar brothers...I love you all. I just thought I'd pop in and say hi, and grumble to myself like a crazy person.

I basically took the exporter file and the cdlc and put in in a file and ran the program and nothing happened.  Am I doing something wrong?

I'm not sure what you mean by that?

For the most basic operation, run the RocksmithToTabGUI.exe and just click "Convert tabs". It'll generate tabs for all the songs you have installed (including CDLC) in Rocksmith 2014.

Sorry, what I meant was I took the RocksmithtotabGui.exe and the Bounce file and put both in a file and activated the exe file.  Nothing happened, it just says processing songs.psarc.  I left the exe file in the folder I extracted to and tried with all rocksmith files I have and it still says processing songs psarc.

It doesn't work like that. RocksmithToTabGUI.exe always operates on your Rocksmith installation. You must give it the path to Rocksmith (normally C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rocksmith2014), which it should auto-detect, and then it will process all the dlc and the original songs (the songs.psarc) installed there.

 

If you want to convert a single psarc, then drag'n'drop it onto the RocksmithToTab.exe (not GUI).

I apologize for this being so difficult.  I don't have Rocksmith installed in my program files on my C drive.  I have it installed in a folder named Rocksmith on another drive.  The folder I have it installed does not have this folder "(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rocksmith2014.  I open a folder named Rocksmith to Tab and tried the GUI file and dragging the bounce file on to the exe file.  What I've described above has happened.  I really hate to take up your time, is there anyway I could just get the lead guitar file in guitar pro file through emailing you through private message?

If you dragged it onto the non-GUI exe, then you should have gotten a new folder RocksmithTabs there containing the converted tab.

 

If you have installed Rocksmith 2014 elsewhere, then just enter that directory in the GUI, it's the very first option. Although, if you have the newest version of RocksmithToTab (1.1) it should warn you if the directory is incorrect, so I'm not sure what you could be missing. At this point, you'll either have to describe to me in detail every step you are doing or even make screenshots, because I simply don't know where your problem lies.

Does this come with some of the dlc? because for some reason when i converted my RS folder it has dlc of songs i never bought like i hate everything about you, When I'm Gone, Burnin' for You and other songs that i don't own.

@@Capta1n_GuitarHero it's just that the RS1 DLC are all in the same file so even though you don't see them ingame because you don't own them, RS to tab is able to extract the tab from that file.

I see, thanks :)

Can this tool also be used to export the tabs synced with the audio file in a packaged format that is ready to use with the Go Playalong software without needing to resync everything in GPA?
