RocksmithToTab v1.1

This is a quick update to fix an error I introduced in v1.0, where the GUI wouldn't work if you had too many DLCs/CDLCs installed.

Changelog

• Fixed a problem with the handling of many DLCs/CDLCs.
• Added options to the command-line program to batch-convert all songs found in a given directory.

Changelog:

• Hopefully fixes a crash of the RocksmithToTab GUI if Steam is not found.

RocksmithToTab v0.9.8 - now with GUI

This release features some minor usability improvements, and most importantly a simple GUI interface for people who do not like messing with the console.

Changelog:

• Sort arrangements in order lead, rhythm, bass to match the game's order.
• Improve track names. Removed level indication and added number distinction where necessary.
• Default output path is now rocksmith_tabs, so as not to accidentally pollute the current working dir.
• Allow customisation of the output filenames via a filename template that can be specified with the -n option.
• Added a simple GUI interface which converts all songs found in the Rocksmith 2014 install directory.

RocksmithToTab v0.9.6.5

This update adds Mac support. Although it was already possible, in principle, to run previous versions on the Mac, their usefulness was limited because they didn't work on the Mac versions of psarc archives. This update remedies that.
This release works for both Windows and Mac machines. For instructions on how to use it on the Mac, please refer to the wiki: https://github.com/fholger/RocksmithToTab/wiki/MacUserGuide

RocksmithToTab v0.9.6

This is a relatively minor update. I am releasing it primarily because in the last two releases I forgot to update the Toolkit libs. The old toolkit lib did not properly export single note frethand mutes, so they don't show up in the tabs properly. This release fixes it.

Additional changes:

• Can supply more than one input file to the program, and simple glob style (_) file matching is supported. So you could do RocksmithToTab.exe \path\to\Rocksmith2014\dlc\_.psarc to convert all your dlc content.
• With the parameter --xml, all input files are treated as xml arrangements. Primarily useful during CDLC creation.
• For custom DLCs, the program tries to extract the CDLC author and CDLC version. Both are written in the comments section of the song information in Guitar Pro.

RocksmithToTab v0.9.5.1

Fixes a stupid regression in the rhythm detection code that resulted in very poor results when dealing with triplet rhythms.

RocksmithToTab v0.9.5

This release contains several important bugfixes. No new features or usability improvements were added.

Changelog:

• Fixed bass tunings, so that bass playback should now sound in the right octave.
• Fixed several errors in relation with bends that would produce errors in GP5.
• Updated Toolkit DLL to fix a bug with single note fret hand mutes not showing up.
• Fixed an issue where some silent bars at the end of a track could end up having negative duration, which would screw up the rhythm notation or even lead to an infinite loop.
• Fixed an issue with incorrectly placed ties accidentally hiding notes that should be played.
• In GP5, tracks could accidentally be assigned to a midi channel reserved for drum tracks. Fixed.
• Write text in gp5 files with CP-1252 encoding to fix a problem where files with certain non-ASCII characters could not be loaded in GP5.
• Altered the way slides are implemented in the exporter. This fixes several errors in rhythm duration and should also make the slide display more accurate to what was intended in Rocksmith.
• Fixed some nasty bugs in the rhythm detection that could potentially lead to infinite loops; this might also improve rhythm detection in a few edge cases.

RocksmithToTab v0.9.3

• Fixed a problem with bends that might have confused Guitar Pro 5.
• Fixed a problem where two tracks were accidentally sharing the same volume controls.
• Removed compression from gpx output, resulting in a drastic speedup.
• Introduced section names as text comments.
• Nicer output filename conventions.

RocksmithToTab v0.9

This release features export to the .gp5 format. Additionally, a number of bugs were fixed, including one that would incorrectly sustain notes into the next bar, even though the beginning of the bar wasn't silent.
