Rocksmith Guitar Tech

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

gem install rsgt

Only Ruby 2.3+ is supported.

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

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 \
  --vocals-xml=ragebomb_vocals.xml \
  --audio=fixed.wav

You can also repack the preview if you want:

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

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.

• 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

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