I downloaded the version where I can fix the tuning problem for songs that are CDLC.  But, the new problem that I have now is, I am not able to play the song at all after fixing it.  It is like my keyboard decided to stop working.  Any help would be great.  I am very new at this and I am just getting a little frustrated.  Thanks

 

@albatross213  Thanks for testing and details.   I will see if I can come up with a fixed based on your input.  So did you have same experience as SickSonicXXX where strings got too loose ("almost to the point it came off")?

@albatross213  Since you are big help would you mind trying ... import the original package into the toolkit, change the relative tuning to 6, 8, 8, 8, 0, 0 at A220, then repack do things work?  Thanks

@@cozy1 - Did that and it worked.  :huh: Not sure why the toolkit conversion didn't work.

@@albatross213 et.al. I synchronized the low bass tuning fix in Creator and Packer/Unpacker so that toolkit is producing the same output from either feature based on feedback above.  The main difference between the two methods was that showlights.xml was not being included in the Packer/Unpacker method.  Both methods now insert the showlights.xml file as expected.  Would like to know your results after fix.  Thanks

@@SickSonicXXX So part of the problem with applying Low Bass Tuning Fix was that the songs you are trying to fix were created with a older version of the toolkit which applied a different tuning storage method for Bass Arrangements than is currently used.  The old method would zero out strings4 and string5.  This meant there were no 5 string bass arrangements.  We have since moved away from this format and are now using standard guitar tuning to represent all instruments.  The new method has far fewer issues with in game hanging or CDT caused by tuning issues.  Also the same tuning definitions may be used for both guitar and bass.   I applied a fixed to the toolkit so that it recognizes old EOF/toolkit xml files and upgrades the XML tuning to the new method.  Download the latest beta version of the toolkit and give Packer/Unpacker feature Low Bass Tuning Fix a try on your songs.  (Note: If you are trying to play bass on a guitar the strings may fall off with Low Bass Tuning Fix.)

 

I also fixed the Creator function which had the same tuning issue when old songs were imported.

@@cozy1 I downloaded the patch and fixed up the songs and they all work. Thank you so much for working on this! I really appreciate it
