Hi,

 

this is technically a game limitation but I thought the EoF forum was the best place to ask...

 

Is there a maximum bend strength?

 

In my recent Gilmour Solo custom one of the complex bends I set in EoF does not appear in game - well the note/bend appears but there is no complexity to it.  At first I thought it was cause I accented the note, but there are other complex bends with accentuation in the same chart.

 

I am now beginning to think that it is because it contains a bend strength of 5 half steps?

 

 

Incidentally, it's one of Gilmour's massive bends in Another Brick solo.  I spent ages on that one bend, expecting it to look epic...  then a big damp slap in the face for Plum.  Boo!

3 half steps is max i think. 5 half steps is a brutal bent you should compare it with live footage if he does bend really that heavy.

If 3 is really a game limitation you can only raise the note by 2 and do a 3 half step bend out of it.

If anybody confirms a bend strength limit in Rocksmith, let me know and perhaps I can put a nag message in EOF during save if there are any.  Or at least the EOF documentation could mention this.

I think it might be 3, but I'd need to test.

 

The complex bend worked when I erased the 5, but it didn't work perfect.  I suspect the 4s too.

 

 

 

And the imported bend strengths are correct.  It is indeed, a fkn brutal bend :D

Well i have seen so far only a max of 3 arrows on a bend displayed in the game

I think that you are correct Max, it must be 3.

 

 

I'll have a think about how to implement it, probably just need to do re-hits on higher frets.

Had anybody confirmed a limit to how many half steps the game supports for bends?

Did anybody ever confirm what is the strongest bend the game supports?

@@raynebc - Since it's possible that they are different, are we talking about what the game displays, or what the game detects?

 

If we're talking about what the game displays, then I quote the Tech Notes tutorial:

"--> 3 arrow head maximum and the ghost string indicator described in the next question will not surpass 1 full step (i.e. deflect by no more than two strings in-game)."

It's possible that the game may be able to detect stronger bends, but it sounds like the displays won't help much past 1.5 steps.

 

For testing what the game actually can detect... I don't think I could get close to testing out 2 or 2.5 steps myself. Could maybe try fooling note detection with slides, slide-bends, picking the starting and ending note (if that's enough to fool the detection?), or something else.

If no official charts ever had more than 3 arrows to indicate 1.5 steps, I'd be fine with having EOF use that as a limit. Does anybody have any final comments on this?

Here's a test chart:

And this is the result:

 

 

As everyone suggested, pitch detection works but the display maxes out at 3 arrows.

OK then.  I'll add logic to warn if any notes or tech notes have a bend strength higher than 3 half steps if Rocksmith export is enabled.
