Rocksmith Guitar Tech

Ruby 💎 tool for working with rocksmith songs, DLC, and profile data. Almost certainly only useful for Mac.

Installation

gem install rsgt

Dependencies

This tool relies on various bits of software to do the various bits of things it does...

• pyrocksmith (https://github.com/0x0L/rocksmith)
  • Needed for anything involving unpacking/repacking
  • Install by doing:
  • brew install pip
  • pip3 install git+https://github.com/0x0L/rocksmith.git
• WWise (https://www.audiokinetic.com/download/#macosx)
  • Needed if you're going to repack audio
• Rocksmith Custom Song Toolkit
  • Used for extracting audio out to ogg files
  • Used for sng <-> xml conversion (like changing vocals)
  • Installation:
  • Move to /Applications
  • brew cask install mono-mdk
  • brew install wine winetricks
• ffmpeg
  • brew install ffmpeg

Usage: Uncensoring

For example...

# Extracts ragebomb_vocals.xml:
rsgt extract-vocals --psarc=ragekilling_m.psarc

# Edit the vocals file, putting back in missing words:
vim ragebomb_vocals.xml

# Extract the audio track to use as a guide track
# This creates output.ogg
rsgt extract-audio --psarc=ragekilling_m.psarc

# Using output.ogg as a guide track, take the real CD wav, line it up, save as fixed.wav
<AUDIO EDITING>

# Repack the fixed vocals and audio track back in:
rsgt \
  repack \
  --psarc=ragekilling_m.psarc \
  --xml=ragebomb_vocals.xml \
  --audio=fixed.wav

Repacking Options

You can also repack the preview if you want:

rsgt \
  repack \
  --psarc=ragekilling_m.psarc \
  --xml=ragebomb_vocals.xml \
  --audio=fixed.wav \
  --preview \
  --chorus=45

Usage: Multipacker

The Multipacker can pack a bunch of psarcs into a single multipack.

For example, say you have this kind of folder structure:

~/rocksmith/songs
  /uncensored
    - Green Day - American Idiot_m.psarc
    ... some other songs
  /Official
    - Green Day - American Idiot_m.psarc
    ... hundreds of other songs
  /CDLC
    ... hundreds of custom songs

Then you'd create a config file such as:

destination: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Rocksmith2014/dlc

repacks:
  - title:      Uncensored
    directory:  ~/rocksmith/songs/Uncensored
    unpack_dir: ~/rocksmith/unpacks/uncensored
    repack_dir: ~/rocksmith/repacks/uncensored
    options:
      reset_unpack: false
      reset_repack: false

  - title:      Official
    directory:  ~/rocksmith/songs/Official
    unpack_dir: ~/rocksmith/unpacks/official
    repack_dir: ~/rocksmith/repacks/official
    options:
      reset_unpack: false
      reset_repack: false

  - title:      Custom
    directory:  ~/rocksmith/songs/CDLC
    unpack_dir: ~/rocksmith/unpacks/cdlc
    repack_dir: ~/rocksmith/repacks/cdlc
    options:
      reset_unpack: false
      reset_repack: false

And running rsgt multipack --config=thatfile.yml would:

• Repack all of your uncensored songs into a single "Uncensored - n songs _m.psarc" file, and move it to your DLC folder.
• Repack all of your official songs into a single "Official - n songs _m.psarc" file, and move it to your DLC folder.
  • Leaving out songs that it already got from uncensored
• Repack all of your custom songs into a single "Custom - n songs _m.psarc" file, and move it to your DLC folder.

Notes:

• Make sure to check the RS DLC folder, and remove any duplicates - just leave the lastest of each multipack
• You can keep your unpack/repack directories around as a cache
• The "reset" options will nuke that folder:
  • If you're just adding songs, keep it as false, and it'll be zippy
  • If you're deleting/changing songs, change it to true, so stale copies don't get packed in

Usage: Saved Game exploration

... this area is WIP, you probably don't want to mess with RSGuitarTech::SavedGame at all right now.
