Hi, folks.

I'll be using this thread to maintain the latest versions of EOF in one place. To start, download and extract EOF 1.8RC13:
https://ignition4.customsforge.com/eof

You can keep that zip file handy to avoid downloading it more than once. When I release a new hotfix, all you have to do is replace the files from the above zip file with the ones from the hotfix.  The latest hotfixes get posted in the same place:
https://ignition4.customsforge.com/eof

*If you use a non QWERTY US English keyboard layout, and keyboard controls/shortcuts aren't working for you, please make a post describing what keyboard shortcuts aren't working, and what the Info panel says the "CODE" and "ASCII" values are after you use each of the keyboard controls in question.

I used to make Mac releases, but Apple dropped support for 32 bit applications so the user base dwindled away and I can't port the entire application to 64 bit at this time.  The latest Mac build (2-7-2025) is here:
https://ignition4.customsforge.com/eof/download/17
Unless you have oggenc and LAME installed (these don't come with the Mac build for licensing reasons), you won't be able to have EOF automatically convert from MP3 to OGG when you create a new chart. If you have trouble getting those set up on your system, here is a package that should get them installed and usable by EOF:

Please provide any and all feedback, including bugs and feature requests. If possible, also please review the included documentation (manual, tutorials) and let me know if you find any room for improvement there. Eventually I plan to add a Rocksmith authoring section to the pro guitar tutorial, but the community's knowledge of the Rocksmith songs' makeup changes pretty quickly so it's hard to know when particular features are considered fully known. For any features that ARE fully known (like anchors), please feel free to remind me if they aren't incorporated into EOF yet, in case I missed any information being passed around on this forum or the Google group.

Note: If you are reporting a bug, please specify which hotfix (date) you're using. I release hotfixes on a somewhat random schedule, sometimes more than once per day, so the issue being reported may have been fixed in a release you haven't tried yet.

I'll have to look into the note auto-adjust glitch.

Hi, folks. The latest hotfix (r1406) is in the first post. Changes are as follows:

*Improved GP import so that tie notes with a different technique on a string won't have linknext status applied unless that string specifically was tied to the previous note.

*Fixed a bug with the auto resnap logic caused by r1403 that would corrupt note positions.

Still any plans to edit the score attack level? as it would be much more easy.

At some point. Is all that would be needed is a way to link which difficulty level of each phrase was which score attack level?

For information, BPR v0.3 will permit the adjustment of Score Attack levels ...

It should be released soon !

I believe Chlipouni knows, But I think it would be more easy to add it to EOF.  

 

Edit - Chlipouni just posted.

What's BPR?

 

 

Just a graphical tool for updating XML files in existing CDLCs (measures, beats, sections, phrases and score attack levels).

It doesn't permit to modify notes and associated technics.

 

You can download it here

Thanks, I will have a look.

Also how do I install it?

Just a low priority thought, how doable would it be to add a third piano roll?

That could get complicated. I could probably have EOF internally draw an arbitrary number of piano rolls, but coming up with a way to display a third roll would be the difficult part. The secondary piano roll implementation was kind of hacky, but it worked because the primary piano roll and all the coordinate logic stayed on the top half of the screen so it was pretty simple to just render another piano roll on the lower half. Moving the first piano roll to try to make room would require changing tons of mouse coordinate logic, the easier solution would probably be to split the lower half of the editor into two quadrants and display a separate roll in each of those. But then the rolls won't line up nicely so that probably defeats a lot of the usefulness.

 

It would still take enough work that I'd hesitate to work on it unless several people were interested though.

This idea did crosse my mind as a nice feature to have but i'm not sure how it could be usefully implemented compared to the space available...

The easiest way to display 3 full width piano rolls would be to just increase the window height another %50ish. This would take some planning because EOF currently uses the window height to track what preset window size is in use, which controls the lane heights, note sizes, etc. I can put it on the to do list for now.

Seems to me that the current language you're using right now (something something version 4, no?) is just very inefficient. Would upgrading it to the latest version make any such changes easier to implement in the future?

I assume you mean the Allegro library. I don't know if version 5 has anything to help with dynamic window sizes or anything, but migrating the code to Allegro 5 would be a big undertaking and was planned for some unknown point in the future.

4 piano rolls for 4eyed guys :D

I'm perfectly fine vvith 2 pianorols, I can't  compare between 3 tracks I  could see it playing but I differently miss something from one of 3 tracks 

Hi,

 

noticed an import glitch with 1406.

 

https://www.sendspace.com/file/9hjlw7

 

Bar 16, the E0 gets imported as an E8.  Worried it's imported other wrong notes and I haven't noticed...

 

 

 

 

Thanks :D

Hi, folks. The latest hotfix (r1409) is in the first post. Changes are as follows:

*Added the ability to specify cymbals or non cymbals in conditional deselect, which is only offered when a drum track is active. These new criteria are only checked for lanes 3, 4 and 5 as these are the only lanes that can be cymbals or toms.

*Added "Deselect toms" and "Deselect cymbals" functions to the Edit>Selection menu.

*Fixed a bug where the second to last beat in a chart would have incorrect grid snap positions calculated if it was a tempo change.

**Updated the "Beat>Time signature>Off" and "Clear all" functions to observe the accurate TS chart option. Functions in this menu will now be disabled if the tempo map is locked, to ensure the beat positions remain unaltered.

*Added a "Beat>Time signature>Convert" function (only accessible if the accurate TS chart option is enabled) that will allow you to define a time signature for the selected beat and have EOF calculate the appropriate tempos for affected beats to allow them to keep their existing positions. This will help update existing charts with wild tempo changes to correct them to be time signature changes.

*Improved GP import so that is there are multiple redundant bend points defined at the end of a bend note, they are all dropped.

 

Bar 16, the E0 gets imported as an E8.

I'll look into it.

 

Edit: It's more appropriate to call that an authoring error in the GP file. That open note is authored as a tie note, but the last fret played on that string is on fret 8, which is why EOF would import it that way. It's unlikely you'd run into this unless the GP file author made a habit out of authoring things abnormally. It may just be a bad GP5 conversion though because it looked a bit weird in Guitar Pro, but after I deleted the open note and re-authored it, EOF imported it the way you were expecting.

Thanks for for the heads up, and the update :D
 

Yeah, I copy/pasted the section from a gp3 or 4 into a blank file and saved as gp5.  Maybe it got botched.

I have only had in the last couple project 4/4 songs but does the "use accurate TS" now import exotic TS like 7/8 or 3/4 correctly so we dont need to double the bmp anymore during those measures?

I'm having some issues with this new time signature stuff.  I thought it was 1409 but 1406 does it too (dunno how far back it goes).

 

When I import a GP file and "import time signatures", when it changes from /4 to /8 EoF lays down an anchor point at the change.  This makes it impossible to sync, as those anchor points further into the song don't move when I start to sync left to right, meaning everything gets squashed up to the first anchor point that EoF made.

 

The song I'm doing has a few changes at points in the song for sound effects and it's making syncing it pretty impossible.

 

 

Can I disable this?  Can I import time signatures but without automatic anchor points?

 

 

Also, I can't find this accurate TS option anywhere I'm going blind :(

It's in the song properties window (shortcut: F9):

It's enabled automatically for new projects.

Thanks, I would have never found that :D
