I am trying to convert a vocal PS3 SNG file to XML, and getting the following error: 

 

--- No overload for method 'Serialize' takes 2 arguments. ---

 

It is coming from the MS CSharp RuntimeBinder. 

 

I tried it with the latest general and beta versions (2.8.4.0 and 2.8.4.1) both resulted the same error. 

I did used the 'vocal' option for the Arrangment type. 

XML conversion works fine for the non vocal SNG files. 

 

Any idea what can cause this error, and how could I fix it?

As for me it could be incompatible framework installed or something share the files and I'll play with the issue.

What files do you need and how can I share those? 

@@ingyom123 well upload it somewhere and I need psarc you're trying to savage actually all you need to do is unpack it to the folder and you'll get all the xml files you can use those in new eof project just like that.. I disin't get what's you're trying to do with developers tools :)

Since your RocksmithTookitUpdater is not on the same rev as others, it looks like Win10 (defender) may be blocking the toolkit.

 

Have a look here for how to unblock it from Windows Defender.

I was trying to savage Taylor-Swift_Teardrops-On-My-Guitar_v1_0_ps3_PS3 what I just downloaded from customforge. When unpacking it in the RStoolkit - even after telling I want the XML files - , it did not created those, only the SNG files.

 

Still the SNG ->XML conversion worked fine for the guitar/bass tracks, but fails with the above error for the vocal track.  

I have 3 different rstoolkit installed at the moment. 

1, downloaded old not updated.

2, downloaded old updated.

3, downloaded new. 

 

You might be correct , (2) might have an update problem, but 1 and 3 gives the exact same error, so the root cause is not the different version of the updater. Here is the error from the 'all new' version :

@@ingyom123 well most tested stuff is for pc so you'd better DL _p.psarc version and unpack that ps3 package could be corrupted on your side since I've got ps3 unpacked fine still it shows some error about missing "songs.manifest.json" all other parts are 100% fine

 

p.s. this is the song http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/teardrops-on-my-guitar-r9121

Did you got the XML files ? I got the same error when unpacking, but it still unpacked everything except the XMLs.

I just tried the PC version of the same song, and converting the vocal SNG file to XML gave the exact same error. 

@@ingyom123 weird things going around. validate your NET framework install and try again. meanwile here's the xml files for you

@Alex360  Problem is with the Serialize methods.  Vocals Serialize takes one argument and Song2014 Serialize has two arguments.

 

You want me to fix or are you going to?  It's a two line fix.

 

EDIT: NVM I committed the fix.

 

 

@ingyom123 There are much easier ways to extract the vocals.xml than using SNG->XML converter. 

 

You can use:

1) the Creator GUI and Import Package

or

2) the Packer/Unpacker

 

... to unpack the CDLC and get all the xml's.

Tested it, issue fixed. Thank You for the quick resolution.
