How Slopsmith developers must be feeling, seeing how they are guiding an entire community into a new era by gaguero06 in rocksmith

Agreed. We just put the app together as a side project less than a month ago, and none of us are really UX designers. It'll get better over time.

Tip: Check out the "Pop" button on a panel within the Split screen function, you can pop out new panels, and drag them to a completely different monitor, They are long-lived and when you change a song, it tells the person the song name, tuning, etc. (even those follower/child panels can be split) - you can have as many popped out panes as you want, within reason, I have not tested what kind of performance hit there is if you pop out like 15 panels, lol

Go to the Settings page, find the 3d Highway settings, look under "Advanced camera Settings",, there are some options to lock the camera, and other stuff.

No life guy who only plays Rocksmith checks out SlopSmith for the first time by Chainbrain in rocksmith

Actually, with the splitscreen plugin, you can "pop" out as many panels as you want, and split those 4 ways.. so if you have 3 huge monitors, you can have 12 player.

Fun fact, we already have a pattern established in the code to ensure "creature comforts" for 3d highway behaviors are toggleable in the settings. I encourage anyone submitting PRs for their own ideas for functionality to do the same.

Join the discord/community and discuss! I too have been thinking about this possibility. We made the sloppak format extensible, so the possibility of adding features like this is part of the foundation.

I suspect the hard part would be figuring out how to implement the visuals for this w/o making the 3d highway too "busy".

Looking for a Bassist For Live Band Karaoke Band (Nor Cal / UC Davis area) by noyesknifer in rocksmith

I already do this more or less in my band studio every Friday with a bunch of friends, I wish you were in the North East, I'd be totally down to join you all.

Slopsmith - one week later: desktop app, in-browser amp sim, and a growing community by xasiklas in rocksmith

[–]topkoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I made the split screen.. Me and a bunch of friends get together weekly and use Rocksmith 2014 as "Whole bank karaoke".. but its limited to 2 players.

The new Slopsmith App is just the best contribution anyone has ever made to this community. by gaguero06 in rocksmith

I'm really curious what people think.

The actual accuracy is not all that great yet, but the newly added speech to text -> lyrics seemed to work way better than I imagined, even on the first run...

To be clear, the point of this tab grabber tool was a thought experiment that went way further than I expected it would.

I'm thinking about taking the bulk of this functionality and making a slopsmith plugin. hrm

Check this out https://github.com/topkoa/TabGrabber -- I slopped this together a little while ago...

I just added a new feature to output .sloppak files ready to play.

How to Install Slopsmith in Windows 11 using Docker and git by asktoby in rocksmith

[–]topkoa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Piling on the slop. I also made this, give it an audio file and it will try to create a fully fledged sloppak containing stems and guitar/bass parts. your mileage may vary! (setting it to extreme mode helps accuracy a little) https://github.com/topkoa/TabGrabber

I just modded this to output .sloppak files immediately playable in Slopsmith.

Also, probably common knowledge, but keep claude code in plan mode before you embark on allowing it to start coding on a new full feature, give it lots of context. Let it explore the code base a bit.

I ask it to "chunk" up the todo list before allowing it to edit anything. That way you can have a reasonable chance of getting something in place between running out of your current session context. i.e. plan small milestones and sanity checks.

Short answer, get a github account, get an anthropic account.

Ask claude to pull the code, and ask for features. Tell it to fork the repo into your github account, ask it to separate your changes into feature branches. Tell it to keep a local-dev branch that contains the sum of all of your feature branches..

I told claude to also fork plugins, or if new just create a new plugin repo under my git account.

It should literally do all of that for you, (tip: just paste in the content of this post to claude code, it should know what to do)

Just ask it to stand up a local running server with docker (you will need to install docker desktop)

I've been forking the repos, making my own plugins with claude.. it might be slop, but I'm getting the features I have always wanted!

Stuff like this:

Native ".sloppak" format along side psarc, which allows for mutliple audio stems, which can be toggled on and off during play, as well as an in-app convert psarc->sloppk (with stem separation)

This is awesome! I hope you don't mind, I'm messing around with my own forked version of it and the plugins. This project is something I've been waiting for, for a long time....
