Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (GTA SA)

[candid sapphire]

I saw that in the octotex thread lmao

[jaunty kestrel]

They've tried but luckily my country is so corrupted

[candid sapphire]

lmaooo

[jaunty kestrel]

That I've just bought the military id

Lol

Now I need to pay for the loan

Cuz the price was in dollars

And our currency is a dog shit

But I'm alive

[candid sapphire]

Yeah that's the good part of all of this

[jaunty kestrel]

And didn't lose my time to wash the toilets

[jaunty kestrel]

Btw how's it going?

[jaunty kestrel]

Yeah good people took care of the project

I'm thinking of redoing the project from scratch again, but with proper executable file and more polished

But that's a topic for the future

[warm thorn]

We definitely need a launcher to make installing our mod easy for players. Once you mentioned you are joining the army. And E-man seems very busy and may not have time to create a launcher. I have an idea to make the launcher. But it will take some time. I'm not very good at making user interfaces. Also, when I try to turn my Python scripts into executables, my antivirus always thinks they are viruses.
This might make players feel bad if they see virus warnings. It's hard to make the launcher perfect because I don't have a lot of experience of UI programming.

It already is able to read the info about the game from the github

[warm thorn]

What? The project still alive?

[jaunty kestrel]

But I need time to finish it

[warm thorn]

That's Cool!

[jaunty kestrel]

But only if the repo is located in the repos file of the luminance

I did it for the "antivirus" purpose

So only allowed repos

[candid sapphire]

Oh that's really cool, cuz for now installing the mod is a mess and updating it is even more

[warm thorn]

As the creators, we still need to see what changed with each update. That way, if something goes wrong, we can easily go back to an earlier version.
If we don't keep track of the changes, it will be hard to fix problems. We want to be able to undo updates if a bug is introduced.
By seeing the differences between versions, we can spot where things may have broken. Then we can fix the issue and update it again without problems. This helps us improve the mod safely over time.

[candid sapphire]

Yeah i know what's the problem between seeing our update and luminance ?

[warm thorn]

Nothing, that means we (the creators) still need to use GitHub to keep a record of the changes. As the creators, it's better for us to update stuff using GitHub Desktop, not the launcher.
If we use GitHub Desktop, we can see what assets were changed between updates. It will be easy for us to check which changes might be causing problems.

[candid sapphire]

😋

(car is modded)

[silk fossil]

amazing 8)

[quaint heron]

you guys did all the graphics but still didnt manage to fix the health bar

[candid sapphire]

I CANT FIGURE IT OUT WHY U BRING IT BACK

[quaint heron]

chill bro im not blaming you, im just asking the community if its possible to fix the health bar

[candid sapphire]

np i was joking lmao

[quaint heron]

😂🙏

[candid sapphire]

tbh i don't think we even looked at it, i'll check what I can do

[quaint heron]

i checked myself, i almost fixed all the UIs except for the health bar. Whats weird is that when im aiming a gun, the health bar pops up. And when im driving a car, it shows up sometimes

i thought it was up to the devs to work on it

[candid sapphire]

It shows up in car when changing radio station

it shows up when u add an overlay, so i'll have to dig in that problem

[warm thorn]

If nobody can get the health bar working, I'll probably have to make my own health bar with Lua code.

[smoky gate]

i dont see the sun man

[candid sapphire]

I created a fresh install to try it out, it works perfectly, a readme is meant to be read

[warm thorn]

That's just the standard readme file included in every Mixmod zip download. No offense meant.

[smoky gate]

fresh volumetric clouds?

[warm thorn]

That's actually an Easter egg for the upcoming update. The cloud is a double layer mesh giving the illusion of volumetric clouds. The new clouds in the next update will really have motion.

[smoky gate]

Woww

Just wow

not just bc its awesome

[warm thorn]

The mesh is created by @candid sapphire , i just recreated the UV mapping.
He seem to be learning new skills really quickly. It's impressive how fast he is picking things up.
He have been doing a great job helping out with the mod projects. I think with his talent and motivation, he could become an amazing modder. It's really cool to see members of our community developing their abilities.
Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to seeing what else you can create as your skills continue growing.

[candid sapphire]

❤️

[solar girder]

Why is it even gone

[candid sapphire]

idk, maybe the way it's done is not compatible with remix, so it just doesn't show up

[warm thorn]

I don't think it's the compatibility issues. In certain case, it does seem to display properly. It's possible we just need to tweak a few things to get it working in all case.

[candid sapphire]

I'm looking into it rn, if I find anything i'll tell you

[candid sapphire]

Went through every file in the game, not a single health bar, might be coded and that's why it shows up only when you add an hud element

Tried hud mod, tried forcehud mod, tried making the bar half the size of the screen, still don't show up

[green pewter]

I report that the ragdoll mod doesn’t work.

[candid sapphire]

?

[green pewter]

When hit, the ped disappears.

[green pewter]

This is the mod that I’m referring to btw. https://www.mixmods.com.br/2021/09/mod-ragdoll-bullet-physics-fix-fisica-realista/

[smoky gate]

way better than defenitive edition

[candid sapphire]

Ohhh, well it's a mod so idk why it don't work but i can't do anything about it

[green pewter]

Ok.

Well, what about fastman limit adjuster?

[candid sapphire]

There is a list of gta sa mods you need for our remix mod, any other mod has not been tested, so idk how it would react i'm sorry

[green pewter]

Okay.

[candid sapphire]

And you will probably not need any limit adjuster mod since the needed mods includes essentials that has all these :
Silent’s ASI Loader [09/11/14]
CLEO [14/08/23]
CLEO+ [14/08/23]
ModLoader [20/01/18]
SilentPatch [24/02/20]
Widescreen Fix by ThirteenAG [11/11/18]
Widescreen Fix HOR+ Support [11/11/18]
Windowed Mode [07/10/22] *Leia o Leiame
Framerate Vigilante [14/08/22]
CrashInfo [13/09/22]
RunDLL32 Fix [05/02/16]
NoDEP [21/06/19]
RepairGTA [14/08/23]

[warm thorn]

Actually we need a limit adjuster, i will spawn more objects using the Lua script, and i adjusted the draw distance to 4000 (half the map) in the time cycle file, without limit adjuster, it might crash.
Open limit adjuster works best here. It suits this situation well.

[candid sapphire]

I thought remix would fix those streaming issues 👀

Since it reads my vram correctly in the remix menu

[warm thorn]

Many graphics mods no work (shaders base mod). Texture and model swap mods still work okay.

[warm thorn]

The game engine limits it. Remix doesn't change the game engine. Remix is a path tracing renderer. It gets elements from the game through the bridge and replace the replacement assets to render the image. If the game can't do something, Remix can't either.

[candid sapphire]

Okok

[candid sapphire]

Mixset can fix those streaming memory problem right ?

[warm thorn]

Streaming issue (big hole on the ground or element not show correctly) fixed by "Improved Streaming"

[candid sapphire]

So it does, we don't need open limit adjuster then ?

[warm thorn]

https://youtu.be/2pZEK40AmRg?si=XTkaFLC3dIfQvy9m

I will check which mods are not needed. Some may be included already in the mixset.

[warm thorn]

It's in mixsets setting, that's mean we still need open limit adjuster, if i use Lua script spawn more objects in scene, case closed.

[candid sapphire]

Finished the first house, starting on the second one !

[green pewter]

Fastman Limit Adjuster allows you to add cars without replacing.

[smoky gate]

can someone tweak the adjuster

to use 16gb ram

of vram onto the units

lol

[green pewter]

There’s a tweak that allows fastman and OLA to work together

Oops wrong reply

[smoky gate]

can yal make outside houses have parallax lighting onto ground from rhem if they have lighting like wjndows for the houses and graffitis on not houses but walls in city later thats mostly all if the texs upscaled and everythimg

[green pewter]

https://gtaforums.com/topic/925485-help-with-open-limit-adjusterfastman92-limit-adjuster-v43/?do=findComment&comment=1070656342

[smoky gate]

i mean parallax windows or all but inside of hozses of all ls building i could help maybe just and texturing

[candid sapphire]

I dont understand what u trynna say herr

[smoky gate]

or think abt not photo grammetric but if the begging would have bricks on ground and scratched or graffed fence top and houses would have parallax int.

[candid sapphire]

We'll see what is needed and add it, don't worry, and thanks for Ur help

[smoky gate]

beggining* and more grey ish mixed dirt ish floor or other fence top, even a bit bette ris good

and parallax windows and their lamp lighting coming out would be amazing too

[green pewter]

Like those fake interiors

[smoky gate]

u can tweak albedo soo good

[green pewter]

From Spider-Man PS4

[candid sapphire]

Oh okok

[smoky gate]

or i mean a shade in from beggining road to the beggining floor at first mission

bc it looks like a - line

or

[candid sapphire]

Yeah we're gonna do something about interiors no worry on this

[smoky gate]

i mean the most important and pnly change would be to change pavement of beggining first road if u lookat it

not the floor when u load in but the pavement in front of it

or its not that good pavement

no offense

thats rhe only bad part about the

mod

its crazy good tho but need some tweaks too like grass

why people not funding this

[smoky gate]

not the dirt looking yellow when u load in but the grey pavement

to more beighter color just 3 shades up

no cap

the roads everything stay

just that pavement bc jts sensitive too to pbr

and doesnt even fit to that dirty floor when u losd in also and it doens tllook real why not some cracks on it instead than pom style minercaft art no offense

[candid sapphire]

If you want me to change something, screenshots where it IS located in game, Ur explanation are complicated i dont understand u herr

[smoky gate]

or why not make the bsuhes look remastered too than like rt roblox style rematser , realistic remaster if u tryna do it no?

ok bro

here bro

wait

no

this can stay

this style

this too gta v ish looking

but those pavements

in hemry s mos

r too dark yh

or why not try this

?wait

[candid sapphire]

I'm working on Grove Street rn, for the vegetation no work has been done yet

[smoky gate]

but do u think can u esit the pavement to sum like this but even brighhter than this

like twice brighter or 1.7

to test out

this style

or this with ai

i try

or smthg

bc

this pvaement is even better

not this exactly

i find better i can send u

and try that exposed

i thnk itll look good on next to roads and

to the begginign start too

bc now’s roads too pbr pom focused

[candid sapphire]

We're not changing the game, we're remastering it, so i'll see what i Can do

[smoky gate]

and not color corrected

og has symmetric colors

yes but too

oh noo not this style it doesnt matter nut just brighter but more accurate pavemrnts yk, or atleast red stripe or grass only bc grass only surfaces exist too, at grove street, or just simpler concrete and lil dirt (gumslol) and cracky roads would be better enough w other (higher) exposure

and add grass to those surfaces that look like rhis is important (or glen park idk and beggining more in furhter of pavements

or

yh thats all but beggining or that psvemrnt atleast could look better and the beggining ‘s fence top bc its similar to real but very sensitive and dark , what if itd be red but graffitied , even thatd be better

or this two : pavement there and fence top could be fixed some bricks could be placed on the floor and vegs hanging from the fences or around ls ( the

the idea then is to create a half plant ingrown environment ,
then the 90 mods can come

this two idea already would drastically rewrite its potency bc it already looks mind blowing duus

duud

[smoky gate]

forget this do whatever ud like or w cracks n brighter,

but then the fences could look better or just a bit modern 90s or realistic , or like driv3r style realistic lol

[candid sapphire]

Like I said, we're not changing the game, we're remastering it, i'll change the texture with one that fits, and there is the original one upscaled, so it can only fits perfectly, i'm not changing it to something different or brighter cuz it's useless

[candid sapphire]

Also, when I ask for a screenshots of what you want me to check, get a proper one please, i can't see shit on this

[sinful lagoon]

Nice work! One thing to keep in mind when remastering texture so it's liked by most is to upscale/genearte texture so that higher mip of the new texture should be very similar/indistinguishable from the original textures. This helps with keeping the styling consistent, making the final output much better.

[smoky gate]

noo pls photorealistic view

yeah u right, more smooth floor textures i think

the dirt on the road here

its too much gta v like it -but on outsides of ls rather , and should be more smoother ps2 looking

even a idea like smooth concrete roads would be better

but i think smooth ps2 style but bit grey ish of this texture (= maybe less or mid or more pom on it too and less, and less on pavemnets,andcorrected pavement color to this texture

[candid sapphire]

That was not good enough

So I did it better

(better with the normal map and lighting)

[candid sapphire]

roof ✅

[smoky gate]

best fuckken carfix for hd universe cars mod

[nimble jackal]

No offense my dude, but i don't think many of the cars fit estetically since the game is set in the 90s while iv is in the 2000s and v in the 2010s. It's just not very immersive seing cars drive around that don't fit the era.

Besides, the models are ripped from commercial games which is iffy at best.

[candid sapphire]

I'm doing a modpack for cars, trying to find the best replacement for every car one by one, it's taking longer than expected cuz everyone decided to make hypercar for every car lol

"doing" just downloading mods and putting them in modloader

But u know what i mean

[nimble jackal]

You could try contact the creators of 90s atmosphere cars. Tho i don't know where they got their models from.

90s atmosphere cars, is by far the closest to the original cars while visually far superior

[candid sapphire]

I'll look into that thank you 😊

[nimble jackal]

There is two version around. The original from 2015 and the reborn version from 2019. Ngl not sure if you'll reach either creator but good luck

[candid sapphire]

Well, i'll check the compatibility, and if it works i'll just recommend installing it without giving the files, just the link like we did for all the other mods, no need to contact them

[nimble jackal]

oh right just using the mod instead of implementing the models would skip the permission part

[candid sapphire]

And not having to implement it would just save a ton of time

[nimble jackal]

Yeah

[candid sapphire]

First test with grass, looks already good, but could be better with better texture and more variations,

(don't bother all the bugs aorund that's my test build it's messy af)

[solar girder]

Grass is way too big

[vernal bluff]

gangstas don't mow their lawn

[smoky gate]

Wowwww

Looks like that ue5 engine of sa lol

Way better and correct

[opal sable]

that's amazing

[smoky gate]

this is an amazing proof of the of textures

[smoky gate]

fuck man it looks irreal

[warm thorn]

The polygon counts and textures aren't quite next-gen quality yet on these assets. For now they'll work as placeholders, but I think I'll need to recreate my own tree models to get them up to the level of quality I want.

[candid sapphire]

Yeah the leaves need work, they don't look UE5 enough 🤣

[warm thorn]

I need them look better than GTA6🤣

[candid sapphire]

I changed the grass but forgot to screenshot it lol, i'll show yall later 👍

[warm thorn]

More tree replacement

[rapid kernel]

how many FPS u get?

[candid sapphire]

he has a 4090 so probably way too much to be a benchmark lol

But with my 3080, I get ~ 60fps with dlss ultra performance, and approx 5gb vram used without terrain system

[sage plover]

Doesn't ultra-performance look a bit jank in motion?

Also what output res?

4k?

[candid sapphire]

1440p with dlss ultra perf, it's blurry in motion, that's why i really want ray reconstruction

[warm thorn]

I will upload a video to show what it's look in motion.

[candid sapphire]

Yeah, in balanced I have 20-30fps so not a really good experience :/

but again i'm playing in 1440p so probably more like 50fps in 1080p

[limber sonnet]

like would it be possible to add volumetric clouds to the game now?? Just askin

[warm thorn]

Still not possible.🥲

[limber sonnet]

hmm

[smoky gate]

I really believe this will be one of the best remasters ever made

but to be honest , dirt, bricks, and small bush stuffs needed

[warm thorn]

To be honest, I understand if progress takes time when working on passion projects without payment. Modding games is difficult work that requires patience. If you think you have ideas that could help make the process faster, you're welcome to join the team and contribute your skills. Together perhaps we could accelerate the improvements.

[smoky gate]

true

idk how the fuck there isnt a company that remaster games

or at least literally any- thing , kinda bored of this jew ass world

when love and anything isnt real only money is

basically money can make anything and basically anything humans at this point like relationships

life is too much man 😂😂

[smoky gate]

i mean basically relationships r anything like attahments r replacable like humans and money

kinda shit that everything gets down into one circle yo

[smoky gate]

I have but it would make it look too photo realistic

look at the draw distance

its utterly bad tho💀

lmao no shadow distance cascades, and looks like enb 430 with srt3 lol

[candid sapphire]

If y'all were paying me to do this remaster I won't stop working on it, we're working on the mod for free and in our free time, so yeah it's taking longer than if we were payed, i sometime want to play some game instead of modding gta 👍

[solar girder]

At least we have ENBs and Renderhook

[smoky gate]

and finally hemry lol

[candid sapphire]

A simple example of why this mod is taking so long, we just spent 3-4 days figuring out how to have realistic vegetation, grass, flowers, dead leavs on ground etc, without killing performance, we still haven't found a good way, either it works but is looking like not very good like this : #1097105394821759006 message
Or it looks extremely good and Hermy's 4090 get 1 fps

Not even extremely good, this is what it looked like when he got 1 fps 22GB Vram used here btw 😂

These flowers are killing a 4090

[opal sable]

are you using OMM?

[warm thorn]

I swear I could hear my poor GPU fans spooling up to maximum warp speed when I hit that instanced geometry intense zone!

[candid sapphire]

What's that ?

[warm thorn]

All the vegetation is polygon mesh no transparency map, with 10006 instancing mesh on a single mesh surface.

[opal sable]

ah, okay

[opal sable]

opacity micro map. very simplified explanation is that it makes materials that use opacity more efficient on 40 series cards

[warm thorn]

900K polygon per mesh

[opal sable]

map? mesh?

https://developer.nvidia.com/rtx/ray-tracing/micro-mesh

here

[opal sable]

geez

[warm thorn]

It's run very smooth in Omniverse, but not in Remix.

[opal sable]

tadpole had some high res grass that ran well (iirc). may want to ask him about this?

[warm thorn]

Good Idea.

[candid sapphire]

0.4fps 🤣

[round tendon]

i suggest taking as a base that video of "faithful gta sa remaster" , those flowers really look out of place, if you need i already have an installed game with all the fix mods needed i can send

[candid sapphire]

This was just a test so yeah it's not really roleplay, but i'm interested yeah send me all you got i'll look into it that could help us, thank you 🙂

Also if you have the link to the video you're talking about plz

[round tendon]

in dm or here?

[nimble jackal]

That grass so tall i'm suprised you didn't get attacked by a wild pokemon

[candid sapphire]

Add a pokemon there my pc would get -1fps

[rapid kernel]

slide show speed 😎

[candid sapphire]

I DID IT THE GRASS IS WORKING

5 DAYS

AND IT WAS WORTH IT OMG ITS SO GOOD LOOKING

Do I make it taller ? idk it looks fine like this but I feel like a lil bit taller could make it better

[opal sable]

i agree it could be taller

it looks great though 🙂

[candid sapphire]

👌

[smoky gate]

WOW

Fucking god

hope not -300fps

lmao

what in the gta 6😃

[smoky gate]

the. tree misses soome screen space shadows or idk some parallaxx type stuff

[smoky gate]

imagine with back wall retextured textures= gta 7 xD

photorealistic wall textures over the game mixed w cracky +\brighter road textures of it and this = wtff

Wtf man

[smoky gate]

fucj me

[warm thorn]

GTASA Remix more trees and grass replacement demo, video from intro to mission 2.
https://youtu.be/H7SoUbx9Tog

[round tendon]

looks good and tall enough tbh

[candid sapphire]

No hit on performance 👌

[candid sapphire]

Yeah just a placeholder for now, i'm still working on Grove Street 👍

[quaint heron]

no this is too fucking good

that looks so perfect bro. Awesome work you did here and I think it's tall enough like MadHunter said

[pseudo moon]

👌 ⭐ so perfect video sir

[candid sapphire]

It looks good until you see what it looks like when DLSS is applied, I took the screenshots with DLSS on Full Resolution, here is how it looks like with others, Ray reconstruciton is seriously needed here
https://youtu.be/iZYo1aDg9_A

[silk fossil]

can u share this mod?
great work anyways.

[candid sapphire]

You can download it on the github, there's not all the grass/tree replacement for now since we're still working on it

#1097105394821759006 message

[warm thorn]

I don't think the graphics are good enough yet. The character textures are not PBR, except for Ryder's glasses. The buildings are still using the original assets and have not been replaced with higher detail meshes and PBR textures.
The trees also need improvement. We need to create better tree models. Additionally, the palm trees are stretching out too much in terms of their scale. There are also no height maps being used on the tree bark textures.

[solar girder]

No way Ryder has reflections on his glasses

That’s mindblowing

[round tendon]

was that build useful

[candid sapphire]

wdym ?

[warm thorn]

Creating that PBR texture for Ryder's glasses was one of the easier ones for me to make. I want to make some small details in the game look more realistic. The original textures looked strange. And I don't have the skills yet to recreate realistic character textures. That's why I chose Ryder's glasses to practice remaking textures with PBR.

[solar girder]

Sweet’s model looks janky in this pic though

And I can still count the polygons on the arms

Idk maybe I’m not used to it enough

[warm thorn]

I use the "Cutscene Characters Remastered" mod. But no characters have been remastered yet. I am still learning how to do character modeling and skinning animations correctly. It will take more time for me to get better at making character models look realistic.

[solar girder]

A friend tried putting Vados characters in cutscenes but the hands didn’t touch the objects correctly despite being more high poly

[round tendon]

the thing i sent u

[warm thorn]

The game uses CPU skinning for character animations. It cause the meshhash to be unstable. Remix can't directly replace game characters for this reason. To remaster characters with more poly count, we need to edit the original game assets rather than using Remix.

[solar girder]

Yeah he did it in the original

[warm thorn]

Look like his arm is broken.

[solar girder]

Yeah it’s even more jank than Ezekiel’s mod

What I’m doing in my game is using the mobile cutscene models but with more HD textures

[warm thorn]

Our Final goal is not using any retexture and remodel mods, @candid sapphire already starting his grass mod now.

[candid sapphire]

No I'm trying to use the less mods i can, I modded the vegetation myself to add these grass

[round tendon]

they are pretty much just fixes actually

[candid sapphire]

I'll probably use some of the mods from what u sent me, it's just that for the grass I didn't, there's some remodeling of player models, and just overhaul in the game that remix won't be able to do, so don't worry, it's gonna be useful 👍

Also all the fixes it does are lighting or textures fixes, which are useless since we gonne change them with remix anyway

[solar girder]

Do you know if there’s a way to increase the poly count for models?

Without starting from scratch

[warm thorn]

The low polygon triangle meshes in the game are not good for increasing the polygon count with sub-D modeling. It would be faster to recreate the character models from scratch instead. You could also use Human Generator in Blender, MetaHuman in Unreal Engine, or Character Creator to automatically generate high quality models more quickly. Programs like these can help make realistic characters without as much manual work.

[solar girder]

The problem with making characters from scratch is that the hands won’t accurately hold objects like guns compared to the original models

[warm thorn]

Character models not accurately holding objects has to do with skinning, not the models themselves.

[solar girder]

Oh I see

[smoky gate]

fuckg good

i could use ideas in depth for Hemry and both to make it look like 90s la, nice tropical trees and the grass is mind blowing finnalllyy

and i think groove street would need brighter texture and road cracks more visible allat

like brither overall textures i mean mostly 90s La w cracks

idea could be re imagined to make yeah like rematser style but like

i coudl stop imagining this project bc so modular you know

and maybe mafia 2-3 or driver 3 atmosphere based road colors to make the game look like photorealistic version of 90s La with overally of base ls

finally, fucking awesome. it will be .

a photorealistic 90s ls/la of ls would be so fucking crazy i mean w the overall bright greyness and road cracks of in full hd, or even 4k more photorealistic would be better

that the grass finally looks

good

or i shiuld ai edit screenshoots of ls or smthg to get the ideaslol

smthg like that guy who recreated groove in ue5

[smoky gate]

Can u make photogrammetric trees ?

and wall i could do walls if i can figure out omnkvrse fknally my hdd ks sht

[smoky gate]

on the left

[candid sapphire]

I don't know photogrammetry, the wall i'll just change the texture i'm not remaking a straight wall that's useless

[smoky gate]

maybe stable diffusion w another image

or just stretch out the texture or its ok like that

the photogrammetry is like photogrammetry models for the remaning trees

u could use pom or smthg to fit these already done trees to those

it will look good

it will match these

https://youtube.com/shorts/C3I9gfG0z3o?si=09ULWpl3wDM9Zl7F

im talking abt trees like here

if the roads and graas and everything looks same too

also grass should be placed between pavements too like here on the middle of groove

kjust like on the index screen

trees like these + whats alreDy been made

basically this would be so good in game

and the whole map made to look like this man

Yeah trees similar

this project will be awesome already

similar it will be whch is

mindblowing

it will basically already it look like this lmao

[smoky gate]

the trees not realistic o nthis tho

gta v like

just only in the back bc of the engine

and 8k textures or idk lol

just only in the back middle* not on the back palms

[smoky gate]

or i think a little curve to the trees would be just good

it actually already will look just as similar as this project, fucking crazy 🤣

better * the roads go crazy @warm thorn

[smoky gate]

why not try this vegetation instead tho for trees?

wait this is good

hemry very very good ur awesome

the palms should look more realistic tho

and more leaves the trees

[warm thorn]

Do you know he use many paid assets to archive those result?

Our mod is a free mod, we don't get paid from anybody, we don't have any budget to buy extra assets, i already paid monthly fee for adobe substance, adobe stock, creative cloud almost $100USD per month

[smoky gate]

oh thats true

[warm thorn]

He is a popular YouTuber, he have significant income potential from his videos that helps enable commercial-scale projects. As an unpaid mod team though, we don't generate revenue - we volunteer our free time out of passion for improving the game.

[warm thorn]

I'm envious that you can create an entire game world just using your imagination!
As our mod team, we have to work so hard in our free time just to add new things. It would be amazing if someday advanced AI could help us bring our imagined worlds to life too. For now though, we're limited to what we can build ourselves with current tools. I'm still really proud of everything our volunteer team creates through dedication and hard work alone.
Maybe in the future technology will give us even more ability to realize our ideas. But for today, I appreciate all the great progress we've made as a community.

[quaint heron]

when will you guys release an update?

the last update in the pinned messages dont have anything

this update that you guys have has dynamic sun, grass, optimizations

[candid sapphire]

You should have the sun on the actual version

Also the grass isn't applied everywhere, I'll drop an update for the grass when it's applied in all of grovestreet at first then by zone

[smoky gate]

well to be fair apart from the palm tree which makes it too tropical

this too already could look photorealidtic w rt

[smoky gate]

Yeah thats awesome

[smoky gate]

i hope grass will be in more spaces like here too

on gr st maybe

damn

i wanna make photorealistic /gammetric san andreS

as

[smoky gate]

good modd

[silk fossil]

love the gi noise

[solar girder]

I don’t like the trees

[smoky gate]

Yeah they r ass

[solar girder]

Change them then

[smoky gate]

https://youtu.be/62kylewMsfk?si=d5NU3X5mo2KcuwKM

i find this pretty photorealistic

i hope the level will be onthis

fuckig. amazing

[candid sapphire]

There is a difference between modding a COD map and a GTA map, the size.

I can't put as much effort in each asset like he does or it'll take longer than GTA VI to make

[candid sapphire]

I'm replacing vegetation rn, that looks good

This is the before

[pastel jungle]

how much vram does consume?

[candid sapphire]

~5-6gb

if you turn off the terrain system

If it's on you'll have th cars color, but it'll consum like 10-11gb

[smoky gate]

This already looks photo realistic

Damn good work

[solar girder]

Holy shit you’re making your own definitive edition

[smoky gate]

• way better than that lmaoo

smthg like between gta v and ue5 it will look like that

fucking crazy bro

But the plant on the right look too flattery i think

nut finally these low ahh bushes been replaced too

but*

[smoky gate]

theee trees will have great shadows ho

tho*

[candid sapphire]

what bush u talking bout

[candid sapphire]

Which one

I haven't replaced all vegetations in grove street yet so yeah there are some that still look flat that's normal

[smoky gate]

Its beautiful

this one

[smoky gate]

the problem isnt with being flat its that jt looks splattered or idk

but its fine tho

[candid sapphire]

okok, i'll check that

[smoky gate]

very good job tho, the floor on this looks Unrecorded or ue5 level

U should check for renderhook discord, some people might have higher cards who could help

[smoky gate]

gta v’s src just been leakedd tho

thinkkng about euphoria in gta sa lol

[smoky gate]

thinking abt using upscaling ai and etc to finish buildings

but i cant do it bc i dont know omniverse

Why u deleted it?

it was really nice eitherway

[quaint heron]

i didnt know that the link in pinned messages was actually updated

im downloading jt now and hopefully it works good

but guys, instead of working on vegetations and textures, why dont you leave that aside and work on making the weather not weird?

because the time cycle and weather is more important than vegetations and textures

[candid sapphire]

We waiting for the remix API

Until then we can't do a lot about this

[quaint heron]

is that confirmed?

[warm thorn]

AI upscaled the carpet texture, and added some fur.

Original

[candid sapphire]

What is confirmed ?

[candid sapphire]

Yo that's really good

[quaint heron]

the remix API, you said you’re waiting for it

[candid sapphire]

Yeah, it's a thing at least since i saw people talking about it with screenshot of code from the git

1315 clump of grass later, grove street still don't have grass everywhere 😎

btw, still no performance hit, and this how much vram it takes with and without the grass, pretty much no difference 👍

(Terrain system OFF)

[pastel jungle]

Theres any benefit for terrain system on?

[candid sapphire]

Car colors

They're all white if it's off

[solar girder]

This is way more realistic than GTA 5

Even the next gen version doesn’t go this far

[smoky gate]

Oh my god

Yso goood

Yes the trees is good toy

too*.

[quaint heron]

how can i fix the atmosphere and fog cutoff?

[candid sapphire]

Follow the readme

This step should fix the problem

@quaint heron

[quaint heron]

i think i did that already

[candid sapphire]

Change the value here

It should be 1000

[quaint heron]

ohhhhh shit

i realized

i put the "rtx-config" folder in the game folder

i replaced the rtx config

now it looks good

[candid sapphire]

Yeah np, have fun 🙂

[quaint heron]

but now the UIs are hidden

do i have to adjust them myself?

[candid sapphire]

You should be able to play without even opening the remix menu

[quaint heron]

no like the GAME ui

the game UI is hidden

[candid sapphire]

Yeah ik

[candid sapphire]

Use this one instead

tell me if it worked

directly in game files

[quaint heron]

ok i put it in

that didnt fix it

i can adjust it myself

there we go

[candid sapphire]

I just tried and the file in the github is working fine, idk why it didn't for you

Have you restarted your game after you changed the rtx.conf ?

[quaint heron]

ofc

[quaint heron]

wait so what happens if we use API? will it scan every shadow in the game like renderhook did?

[warm thorn]

Shadows are created by light sources, so why would we want to access the game's shadow data?

[quaint heron]

The way my game is working right now with RTX remix, i see some shadows near me pop up out of nowhere and sometimes the shadows disappear

but i dont have the sun mod

will sun mod change the way shadows work?

@warm thorn

[warm thorn]

Currently, we are unable to fix the game's culling problem.

[quaint heron]

oh its fine all good

no problem

[warm thorn]

The sun mod introduces dynamic sunlight, significantly enhancing the appearance of texture replacements with the added lighting effects.

[quaint heron]

Ohhh i see now, thank you

[warm thorn]

While the sun position in the Sun mod may not be physically accurate, it significantly enhances the visual experience during daytime. Trying out the mod is worth considering, and if it doesn't meet your preferences, you can easily remove the sun mod script at any time.

[quaint heron]

ill try it rn

[solar girder]

Where did you get the radar from

[quaint heron]

i think the mod was called C-HUD

[solar girder]

Can you send it

There’s a lot of them

[quaint heron]

im not on my pc

but if u search it u will find it immediately

square minimap

search that

[solar girder]

I want it rectangle not square

[fringe slate]

Rather than having to use the cj insanity mod could you just make a capture with the mod and replace normal cj with the capture through remix

[candid sapphire]

we'll have to do it for every single set of hair, shoes, top, pants, watch, hat, etc too much time for something not that useful

We'll do it if we remaster the model ourselves into something much more realistic, for now the mod is good enough

[warm thorn]

Unfortunately, all character meshhashes are unstable (CPU Skinning), preventing us from replacing any character models.

[quaint heron]

it will be square if you use widescreen fix mod, if you wanna make it rectangle with widescreen fix, go to the config text file for widescreen fix and make the all the size for mipmap 0.0 to make it wide and rectangle

[solar girder]

Ok

[solar girder]

Proper player retex remasters everything

[smoky gate]

for this mod, something more hq would be better tho

[smoky gate]

how ur emissive lights this good

i wonder if shadows could be put onto emissive lights

[quaint heron]

maybe because the armosphere is dark in the picture

can i ask, how can i get a timecyc like yours?

[smoky gate]

i mean when you click on Lighting it has option like emissive light and it doenst create shadows only colored lights

[quaint heron]

like, i want the game to look like this

[smoky gate]

i hope shadows could be done onto that

[quaint heron]

Ohhhh

i see

[smoky gate]

i think i used hemry’s original sets or either timecyc24h config

[quaint heron]

where can i find that?

[smoky gate]

@warm thorn do u think shadows can be applied from og emissive lights too? they use texture i think, its harder

type timecyc24h real linear graphics

[quaint heron]

in google or here?

[smoky gate]

lol google

also theres lua plugin where u can adjust timecyc24h ( timecyc24h editor€

ingame

its better than other stuffs bc its lua

[warm thorn]

Using scripting, it is possible to replace the object cast by the original game corona light by utilizing their positions in Omniverse. This approach is similar to how I created the sun mod.

[warm thorn]

#1097105394821759006 message

[quaint heron]

Oh there we go, thank you

🙏

Btw i have a small issue

my crosshair is not visible

any way to fix that?

[warm thorn]

Are you using UI mod?

Try find something like this in remix menu and mark it as UI.

[quaint heron]

yes

ok i will

[quaint heron]

i installed the timecyc mod

but it doesnt look any different :/

[warm thorn]

Check the pins comments

[quaint heron]

i already installed that

i put the moonloader mods in, everything

[warm thorn]

No, seem like you are not using any texture replacement with our mod

[quaint heron]

oh

wait isnt that in the mod?

is it the file called "mods"?

idk why it aint play it for me wtf

[candid sapphire]

Hey,
Since the beginning of the project, we've been sharing our mod in this discord channel, except that it's confined us to a small committee of a few dozen people, which isn't very interesting for making this mod into something bigger, and especially because for the moment, there are 2 of us on the mod, which isn't very many considering the scale of the project.
So here's our Patreon page:
https://www.patreon.com/GTASanAndreasRTX
*(the mod is and will remain free forever). *

Why a patreon page?
Opening a Patreon page is important to us because it provides the financial support we need, helps us build a community, offers exclusive rewards, and ensures the long-term growth of our project. (also a ton of coffee 🤣 )

Please share the patreon where you think it is useful, don't spam it in random servers 🙂

[quaint heron]

i sent this to the creator of NVE graphics mod

[candid sapphire]

New grass + how to make it not blurry af in motion
https://youtu.be/Qefm6u5sqkM

I'm checking everything and i'll upload it 👍

[native gust]

check motion vectors guys

it could be a game issue

[candid sapphire]

https://youtu.be/hg-AjUi93TE

[candid sapphire]

Do you know what i shoud understand fom this ?

hd soon youtube is taking long af

[native gust]

debug mode

check motion vectors

and normals

could be broken

[candid sapphire]

Yeah i did in the video i sent

[native gust]

which causes denoiser to act wild

[candid sapphire]

I just don't know what it means

[native gust]

yeah its def fucked

[candid sapphire]

Oh

That burned my eyes litteraly it still hurt i'm not kidding lmaooo

[native gust]

@dreamy gull this doesnt look normal is it?

[candid sapphire]

we need you

[dreamy gull]

err, yeah, that certainly looks wrong. At a guess, I think Remix is failing to track instances across frames. Are you adding that grass using a Remix replacement, or some in-game modding technique? and if it's a Remix replacement, how stable are the transforms of the instances? (Try taking a capture, turn the camera a bit, take another capture, then compare the transforms for the same patch of grass in each capture)

One possible explanation is that the game is very enthusiastically culling the grass instances (so a bunch of instances start and stop drawing each frame), and may also be using a slightly different pipeline to calculate the grass's transforms from the rest of the world, resulting in tiny transform changes each frame. That would make it very hard for our instance manager to correctly track instances across frames, which would lead to crazy motion vectors

[candid sapphire]

I modded the game and added assets in game, then modified them using remix

[dreamy gull]

I'm pretty sure this is Remix's instance tracking falling over on its face as a bunch of grass instances activate and de-activate every frame. Could you file a github issue?

[candid sapphire]

Yeah sure, I just drop the video and explain how I added the grass ?

[dreamy gull]

and ideally links to how to reproduce your setup

[candid sapphire]

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/issues/288

[smoky gate]

therejust (might) be a way to run enb wtih remix

but it cant

to make vol clouds

[smoky gate]

i wan a make a cloud pack lol

imagine like these

[warm thorn]

What's wrong with this video? Can you spot it?😉

[fiery girder]

nothings wrong its due to ultra widescreen mod

which officially this game dont support

[candid sapphire]

there's litteraly no walls in the kitchen

and a plant floating above it's pot

I'm bad at placing assets that's my bad 🤣

THE HEALTH BAR ?

Why can I see the health bar

how

[warm thorn]

I think i scaled it, it's not your fault

[warm thorn]

I came across a Lua script while conducting tests, which contains code for displaying debug text on the screen. I intend to publish it at a later time.

[smoky gate]

Yeah, luas are good from now

cloudrendering.lua lmaoo

I think its good if we could stick to remastering right now

i think its good if we would use skybox anyway

[warm thorn]

I will make my custom skybox by using lua script.

[smoky gate]

can you make it look like this?

[smoky gate]

this or

or like directx 3.0 maybe?

I think they dont need to change shapes, more like change clouds basically and placements

[warm thorn]

Did you actually say to work on this, or is it just another one of your imagined commitments?

[smoky gate]

imagine something like this

https://youtu.be/EF-rR87XfoE?si=K3eB9JshZq01pT0g

its my imagined commitments because you wanna do it with lua but i think thats too much fps

[smoky gate]

to create smthg like this

i could use ai to generate this to change shapes and w remix’s scothatic shaders and etc it must can be made to look realistic like this

[warm thorn]

You previously mentioned creating PBR textures for the remix mod, making environment packs for the remix mod, and now you're mentioning cloud packs. Are all these just figments of your imagination, or do you actually plan to follow through with them?

[smoky gate]

no for the clouds i do wanna do it because i also fixed cloud rendering for renderhook when it was on dx11, but i didnt wanted to ‘work’ on pbr and etc and there was too much alreadz done environment and prop pack, which i didnt see point in re making even if they are copyrighted

and i couldnt remake any env mod i dont know omniverse

but skybox

is good

but this skybox’s clouds need to be partially transparent to make the rt sun lua shine it thru

[smoky gate]

and thats a goddess idea

[smoky gate]

this pack is actually pretty good regarding it has the original clouds, stormy, and sunrised thicker clouds too

[warm thorn]

Are you genuinely committed to creating original content without infringing upon copyright issues, or is your intention simply to copy and claim others' mods as your own? Additionally, it's worth noting that the environment packs you've provided do not feature PBR textures but rather ordinary diffuse textures, which differ slightly from the use of PBR textures.

[smoky gate]

no

[warm thorn]

That's funny

[smoky gate]

just copy not claim but to make it look photorealistic

but y’all wanted remastered sa not photorealistic

so no part of me here

Even if id wanted to help id suggest using photogrammetric objects/ etc , and ai cant make the buildings that much better, so i couldnt really do else

[warm thorn]

If you possess genuine skills and creativity, there is no need to rely solely on being part of the SA Remix Project or using others' mods. You have the potential to create your own unique remix mod.

[warm thorn]

Omniverse (USD Composer) and Remix are indeed relatively new software, and many mod creators, including me and Yaniss, started from scratch with these tools. There is no excuse for not having knowledge about Omniverse, as we all began with a similar level of understanding. It ultimately depends on your commitment and dedication to taking the process seriously, rather than simply relying on imagined ideas.

[warm thorn]

🎉 Hey guys, I'm excited to share a method I discovered that accurately displays the health bar.

⭐ Installation:⭐
1️⃣ Download and install MoonLoader from the provided link, This will allow you to run Lua scripts in GTA San Andreas.
https://www.blast.hk/threads/13305/ (Original Russian Page)
https://gtaforums.com/topic/890987-moonloader/ (English Page)
2️⃣ Download MoonAdditions from GitHub Releases Page, copy the MoonAdditions.dll file to MoonLoader/lib folder.:
https://github.com/THE-FYP/MoonAdditions
3️⃣ Download the "hbao.lua" in GTASA Remix GitHub, copy to MoonLoader folder.

🚨 Please ensure that you have moonloader installed to run this mod. If you've previously installed our sun mod, it means you already have moonloader installed, so there's no need to reinstall it.🚨

Updated Version :
#1097105394821759006 message

[candid sapphire]

Did it just draws some text then make it invisible ?? 🤣

I tried something similar but with the radio text, then i remembered that there is no radio outside of cars lol

[warm thorn]

Yes, it wasn't as difficult as I initially thought. I didn't need to create an additional health bar or manipulate the 'max health' value (which we can't obtain with moonloader). Instead, I simply display the original game's health bar, so there's nothing particularly special about it.

I'm grateful for moonloader, as it made it possible to create the sun mod and implement the health bar in Remix. In the future, I plan to use moonloader to develop features like streetlight, traffic lights and headlights.

[mossy gulch]

please, someone helpme

I installed rtx remix in my gta sa, but everything is black when I enter the game, I installed everything correctly, bridge and rtx remix in the directory, and dxvk inside the trex folder, but everything is still black

[candid sapphire]

#1097105394821759006 message

There's a github, in the github there's a readme

read it

have fun

👍

[mossy gulch]

i’m sorry, I couldn't find this readme on the rtx remix page, if it's not too much trouble, could you send me the link?

[candid sapphire]

https://github.com/Hemry81/GTASA-Remix

[mossy gulch]

I read everything, installed it as requested, but the black screen problem persists. When I enter the game and walk down the street a little, it becomes much brighter, but when I turn the camera in certain directions, everything becomes dark

Maybe the problem is my card, I don't know, I use an RX 7600

[candid sapphire]

Can you take a screenshot of your problem ?

[mossy gulch]

Not at the moment my friend, I left my house and came to my work.

I'll be home in 4 hours, can I look for you when I arrive?

[candid sapphire]

it's almost 11pm for me so i don't know if i'll be awake untl then

[warm thorn]

Have you witnessed any instances of buildings appearing to levitate or fly within the game?

[mossy gulch]

Here in Brazil it's still early, so it's for tomorrow. I thank you very much

[mossy gulch]

no

[warm thorn]

Have you encountered any issues with the visibility of the sun or moon within the game?

[mossy gulch]

just the screen is all black

[mossy gulch]

no

[warm thorn]

Have you installed any additional mods that are not included in the recommended mod list?

Are you experiencing a similar issue as shown in the attached picture, or is your screen completely black without any user interface elements visible?

[nimble jackal]

random question have you replaced the saving spot object yet? Cuz if not i would like to volenteer remaking it. It looks like a neet exercise

that

[warm thorn]

Not yet

[nimble jackal]

ah cool

[mossy gulch]

Have you installed any additional mods that are not included in the recommended mod list?

definitely not. The first time, I had some mods that were not on the list, then this completely black screen error happened, so I reinstalled a new GTA SA, and redid all the steps, only with the mods on the list, and again the problem happened

[warm thorn]

Please feel free to contribute to the mod. Your help and contributions are greatly appreciated.💚

[nimble jackal]

btw what are supported map formates i should use for my texture?

[mossy gulch]

In my experience, it's completely black, you can see very little of the game, and when you can see it, it's slightly grayish.

[warm thorn]

To better assist in resolving the issue, it would be helpful if you could provide a screenshot. This will allow us to visually analyze the problem and provide more accurate guidance.

[warm thorn]

DDS only

[candid sapphire]

You need to use dds files, you can use the NVidia texture tool to convert PNG to DDS

or chainner

[nimble jackal]

normal, roughness, etc

[mossy gulch]

I understand, unfortunately I'm not at home, I really wanted to show you, but when I get there I'll share!

[mossy gulch]

I also remember seeing something like this on the horizon. something limiting the view, cutting out houses and cars, but like I said, everything is dark and gray

[candid sapphire]

@nimble jackal If you need help with anything, ping me, i'll answer as soon as i can 👍

[nimble jackal]

i'm good, found what i needed. albedo/diffuse, emissive, normal, roughness, metallic

oh btw, polyhaven recently released this really neat bat model https://polyhaven.com/a/baseball_bat

it has a sane amount of polygons too

[warm thorn]

Speaking of weapon recreation, I have recreated the Brass Knuckles. The texture may not be finalized yet, and further improvements may be made.

[nimble jackal]

wow, you've really gotten a grasp of blender now

[warm thorn]

Considering that the texture for the Brass Knuckles is hardly visible in the normal view, I believe using a simple metal material would suffice for this particular weapon.

[candid sapphire]

I think making it higher, so it is better placed in the hand, other than that yeah remaking the texture is useless

[warm thorn]

Modeling comes naturally to me as I have nearly 20 years of experience in it. However, transitioning to Blender has required some time to familiarize myself with the hotkeys. The most challenging aspect for me is texturing since I'm accustomed to using pre-made textures and procedural materials in commercial renders. Creating PBR textures for game models is a new territory for me. However, I firmly believe that practice makes perfect, so I am committed to practicing and improving my texturing skills. If anyone has expertise or tips to share, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this area.

[nimble jackal]

nice flex

[warm thorn]

I'd like to address a concern regarding the positioning of the Brass Knuckles on CJ's finger. Currently, it appears that the placement is too close, which doesn't quite resemble how the knuckles would naturally hang. To address this, I plan on adjusting the position slightly by moving it up a bit. Additionally, I've noticed that my model is the same size as the original game model, but it seems a bit too large for CJ's hand. To achieve a more realistic look, I believe scaling it down a bit would be beneficial. Any suggestions or assistance in achieving a natural and proportionate appearance would be greatly appreciated.

[dreamy gull]

yeah... I recommend looking up some references of people actually holding brass knuckles. maybe look up the dimensions of real ones and convert it into whatever units the game uses

[warm thorn]

Yes, Sir.

[candid sapphire]

Yeah the original one is weird, it will need more adjustement than just an asset replacement

[dreamy gull]

an image like this is gold for doing modeling, since you can just put it in as a background and make your mesh on top of it (using an orthographic view instead of a perspective camera) https://www.edcweapon.com/cdn/shop/products/stainlesssteeledcknuckles_8-584174_1024x1024.jpg?v=1625940459

If you can find one like that for the style of knuckles he's using, you'll be in business

Though also keep in mind that they're probably just re-using the animation for bare fists, which means his fingers are right next to eachother instead of being spaced apart. So you may actually need to make it more narrow than a real one for it to look right

[warm thorn]

Mark, Thank you for your input. I will make sure to follow this picture as a reference for scaling and capturing CJ's hand. This will help me accurately adjust the size of the Brass Knuckles to ensure a proper fit. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

[dreamy gull]

that particular image was just found in a quick google search - you may be better off with one that matches the shape of the knuckles you're trying to make

[warm thorn]

OK, thanks man.

[quaint heron]

HEALTH BAR, GIVE ME THAT

[quaint heron]

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU

ok i need help

somehow i realized

moonloader was not working

i inserted the script that u released, including sun mod and the others

and none of them were inserted

the .asi file is in the game folder

[warm thorn]

This updated version, the "." character on the left corner is now "hidden".

[warm thorn]

Did you installed moonloader and moonaddition?

[quaint heron]

yes i already installed moonloader

and just to be clear, isnt moonaddition a mod for moon?

[warm thorn]

I would like to clarify that "moonaddition" is an additional library specifically designed for MoonLoader. It is required to run the script effectively. To ensure proper functionality, please follow the provided instructions and make sure to install "moonaddition" as specified.

[quaint heron]

this is what i put in my moonloader file

moonadditions included

[warm thorn]

"moonaddition.dll" should be placed inside the "lib" folder.

[quaint heron]

the one that i downloaded didnt have moonaddition.dll

[warm thorn]

Download MoonAdditions from GitHub Releases Page, copy the MoonAdditions.dll file to MoonLoader/lib folder.:
https://github.com/THE-FYP/MoonAdditions

[quaint heron]

ok bro this big building just jumpscared me

idk if that fixed it all

but i guess its a signal that moonloader works?

im seeing some weird things

Ohhhhhhh i seee

turns out this building is supposed to be the sun

but somehow its a building for me

@warm thorn any way to fix that?

[candid sapphire]

The mod is not installed here

[warm thorn]

If you're experiencing issues with the mod, it's possible that the download process was incomplete. I recommend trying to download the mod again using GitHub Desktop. This should ensure a complete and successful download. If you continue to encounter any difficulties, please let us know, and we will assist you accordingly. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

[warm thorn]

After spending approximately an hour on adjustments, the size and position have been corrected. While it may not be perfect, it is undoubtedly an improvement over the original version.

[candid sapphire]

that's wayyyyy better 👌

[warm thorn]

Remix has unfortunately washed out several texture details. The textures source from ambientCG.

[quaint heron]

well hey thats way better than the original

[mossy gulch]

hi my frient

[candid sapphire]

yep i'm here

[mossy gulch]

goood

I am happy

I will send you a video of how my game looks

[candid sapphire]

okok

[mossy gulch]

the video is going

I hope you can help me solve this problem 😭

[mossy gulch]

Can you identify what could be causing this problem?

[candid sapphire]

you didn't put the rtx.conf in your game folder

in the folder rtx-config, there's a rtx.conf file

you need to put it in your game folder

[mossy gulch]

but I put it, at least that's what I downloaded from mixmods.com.br

[candid sapphire]

It's supposed to be next to the game exe

[mossy gulch]

and in fact, this rtxconfig has been on the website since version 0.2.0 of rtx remix

[candid sapphire]

That's not the point

[mossy gulch]

what do you mean on the .exe side of the game? do you mean literally on the side?

I just put it in the same folder

[candid sapphire]

it should work then

[mossy gulch]

unfortunately it didn't work

[candid sapphire]

It's the rtx.conf from the mod not from remix right ?

[mossy gulch]

yes

right

Can you provide me with the rtx remix

[candid sapphire]

try this one

[mossy gulch]

IT WOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooRKS

im so happy

thanks

thankkkkks

Now we just need to configure it to improve the quality

Why when I move the mouse, the image is shaky, but when it is still, it looks great

[candid sapphire]

There is a lot of mods recommended, you should install all of them

It will fix NPCs shakiness, provide a working raytraced sun, and a lot of general fixes for the game to run better

[mossy gulch]

Will it give me more fps?

I wanted to keep the TAA at maximum, but it's making the game very slow

[opal sable]

this has been my experience so far as well. many things appear oddly dull and flat 😦

ambientCG's textures are amazing

[warm thorn]

The textures from ambientCG is amazing. Additionally, they provide substance files that allow us to adjust the textures ourselves is incredibly helpful. This flexibility empowers us to fine-tune the textures according to our specific needs.

[nimble jackal]

The floppy disk is kicking my ass

it looks simple at first but once your try to model the creases it drives you insane

[warm thorn]

Who doesn't love a good guessing game, right?

[warm thorn]

What kind of modeling problems have you encountered?

[nimble jackal]

none i'm just easily frustrated and what i'm going for is many tiny details

honestly i think it would be easier to just rip the old model and slap some high res PBR textures on it

to bad i don't have the game installed

[warm thorn]

I also have a keen interest in modeling tiny details. Although it can be challenging at times, I find it quite enjoyable and rewarding.

[nimble jackal]

actually i just made a good point against myself, Hard modelling the creases is kinda stupid, should have gone for normals from the begining

[warm thorn]

Which part?

[nimble jackal]

all those little parts are really annoying

i'm kinda dumb and overuse the slice tool, can't stop myself and i keep fucking up the topology so much it hurts the modelling down the line

i kept restarting until i gave up for today

[warm thorn]

Do you use Sub-D modeling? I'm not sure, but it seems to make this part quite easy with Sub-D.

[nimble jackal]

i don#t even know what that is and not gonna lie i don#t wanna see blender for a while, I'll get back to you when i feel like it

i got other things to work on

[warm thorn]

Please let me know if you'd like me to take the modeling duties for this piece off your plate - I'm always happy to lend a hand however I can. Just say the word and consider the modeling tasks delegated - I'm here to make the process as smooth as possible.

[native gust]

can the fire particles be replaced?

[warm thorn]

I have attached a sample photo of a Sub-D topology mesh (non optimized) that may provide you with some inspiration for your modeling endeavors. I hope this can be helpful to you in overcoming the difficulties you're experiencing. Feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance or guidance.

[nimble jackal]

if you just meant the subdevision modifier i know what that is

[warm thorn]

Are you referring to the jetpack fire particles or the other ones?

One more.

[warm thorn]

Yeah, sub-D modeling is not particularly difficult for this type of model.

[smoky gate]

i like this mod

i realized def ed lookgoodly photorealistic too

like the timecyc id pretty good

these textures could look photorealistic

overall could ‘lookk’ good but not proper

i wonder if this exact atmosphere settings could be replicated how it’d look

[warm thorn]

Progress update😋

[candid sapphire]

I think that's what i tried but stopeed cuz my blender kept crashing

each color from a car has a specific hash

So you changed the color, modified it's material, and boom

or i'm wrong ?

if i'm right the car colors problem will be easier to fix than I thought

[warm thorn]

Now I just need to figure out how to apply the texture only to the car body, instead of the entire car mesh.

[candid sapphire]

The cars are captured as an entire mesh ???

The one I tried had every separated, doors, headlight, windows etc

[quaint heron]

you guys are doing some good shit really

but i've seen a video of the rtx remix at night time

it was sooo dark

you could barely see anything

can you guys work on that?

ok nvm sorry for interrupting

[warm thorn]

No, the car mesh consists of many separate parts such as mirrors, headlights, taillights, windows, and tires.

[candid sapphire]

Can you send the video if you still have it ? I need to know where the problem could be from

@quaint heron

[quaint heron]

i think it was from one of you guys

either from you or Hemry

you guys uploaded a video on youtube

a gameplay and graphics preview

it was night time and you couldn't see anything

let me find the vid

[candid sapphire]

👍

[quaint heron]

yea the video is from Hemry

but look at the night time

if you guys can implement a moon at night tim

the same way you guys did to the sun

that would be soooo awesome

[candid sapphire]

Moon is already implemented, just need to add a light, i'll check what i can do but dark nights like that looks kinda cool tho

[quaint heron]

in case you guys didnt play RDR2, in that game there was a moon that projects light

[warm thorn]

Because I used a skybox mod that blocks a lot of light, I have the ability to adjust the nighttime sky color.

[quaint heron]

i agree with you but for gameplay purposes it will be just TOO dark

that you cant see anyone

[quaint heron]

alright if thats an easy task for you to do it then i'd appreciate it alot, the community would too

[candid sapphire]

That's smart cuz the sky being a full light is weird

[quaint heron]

🙏

[candid sapphire]

You won't have the same darkness tho since he has a mod that blocks a lot of light like he said

lemme show you how it looks like

[quaint heron]

okay

[warm thorn]

This modification is not published just a WIP demo video.

[warm sphinx]

Something like this

[quaint heron]

I see

[quaint heron]

isnt this Sa_Directx 3.0?

[warm sphinx]

Yeah

[quaint heron]

yeah having a night time like this would be very good

or a little darker would be so nice

sometimes the night lighting is too good

[warm thorn]

Additionally, the tree replacement you saw in the video is not yet available as it was only showcased in the work-in-progress demo video.

[warm sphinx]

Better than gta v

[quaint heron]

no worries about the trees

we can wait for that

[candid sapphire]

This is night rn

[warm thorn]

The streetlight is looking better than this SS in next release, i am working on it.

[quaint heron]

Then take as much time as you need bro, thank you soooooo much

[smoky gate]

Amazing

[quaint heron]

yea see the lighting is very nice, but if the sky was dark it would be perfect

currently it looks like NFS

btw how much fps do you guys get in RTX remix?

[smoky gate]

wow this looks so good

[smoky gate]

actually 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[candid sapphire]

Yeah, that's why he's adding a skybox mod, that makes everything so dark in the video, we still need to adjust those stuff, don't worry it's coming

[candid sapphire]

DLSS ultra performance i'm having 60fps

[quaint heron]

i can wait 3 years no problem

lol

[quaint heron]

nice, i play at perfomance mode since ultra perfomance is too blurry and unplayable

[candid sapphire]

probably what it will take to remaster the entire game honestly

[quaint heron]

but at perfomance mode i get 50-60fps

is it just me or

does the grass make the game soo laggy

like when i stand near grass, my fps drops from 60 to 40-30

[candid sapphire]

the grass ?

[quaint heron]

not the one that you made

but from the original game

[candid sapphire]

Oh yeah cuz it's still not released i was worried there lol

[quaint heron]

hahaha

[candid sapphire]

idk, maybe the displacement on it is making eveerything laggy

[quaint heron]

yea what i noticed is that

sometimes the RTX remix automatically assumes things as particle effects

lets take the tires smoke particle for example

in my game the smoke particle looks blurry and stuff

and some other effects aswell like the recoil effect from guns

whenever i see that effect

my fps drops

[warm thorn]

Because you drop to the ray tracing hell when there are many grass elements, transparency textures can be demanding for ray tracing. However, once we replace them with pure polygon grass, this issue will be resolved.

[quaint heron]

yep

or we can just remove the grass from the original game since it looks very outdated

[warm thorn]

We plan to replace the grass with polygon-based models that do not require any transparency textures.

[candid sapphire]

fyi, i placed more than 1300 grass clump in an in game map editor by hand, and it still isn't entirely covering grove street 🤡

[quaint heron]

damn

wait that grass texture that you made, did it replace all the textures in grass parts or did you add the textures on grass parts one by one?

[warm thorn]

He add additional grass on the map, one by one.

[quaint heron]

oh thats tough then

[candid sapphire]

I add them one by one, then changing one in remix change them all, but i still have to place, rotate, move them one by one

[candid sapphire]

the mod is missing here

[quaint heron]

Hemry it seems like the config setting that i imported from your file doesnt work.

[warm thorn]

I will create a script that converts the USDA file to a GTASA placement file, making it easier for him to add the grass in Omniverse and adjust the position and rotation.

[quaint heron]

like it just doesnt change the settings

it just resets the whole config

[candid sapphire]

nothing to do with config

it's just that the mod is not loading here

[quaint heron]

oh

but the UI though

its not visible

[warm thorn]

Are you updated remix to 0.3.0?

[quaint heron]

im not sure

how do i check?

[candid sapphire]

Please, just restart your install, by following the readme step by step, there is a step that tells you how to have an up-to-date remix

[quaint heron]

i just did that

i already did it

this is my 4th time doing the installation

i even followed the installation guide

[warm thorn]

Download the update with remix auto downloader:
https://github.com/Kowlin/RTX-Remix-Downloader/releases/latest/download/RTX.Remix.Downloader.exe

[quaint heron]

ok so should i insert these files to the game folder?

[warm thorn]

Yes

[quaint heron]

Okay

that didnt fix it

[rapid kernel]

nice orange wall

i have one too

[quaint heron]

its actually brown but my camera is acting up

lol

but thanks

[warm thorn]

Did you use Github desktop download the mod?

[candid sapphire]

Lemme make a quick video to explain how to install, tha'll take few minutes

[quaint heron]

your wall looks better

[quaint heron]

no i downloaded from the website

i clicked the green button

Code

then i pressed "Download ZIP"

[quaint heron]

Oh okay thank you

[warm thorn]

GitHub Desktop can certainly offer a more stable file transfer experience than directly downloading many assets through the GitHub web site.

[quaint heron]

i installed it 4 times

[warm thorn]

I meant using GitHub Desktop to download the mod, not downloading it directly from the GitHub website. It's different.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoZNIbs_wx8

[candid sapphire]

I think this download everything in the git

[warm thorn]

No, sometimes it's failed to download all file, trust me.

Updated the installation guide

[warm thorn]

I think I've got it working now. The next step is to gather all the car body texture names so that I can apply the "true" color to the vehicles and apply PBR textures to them.

[smoky gate]

oh my god damn man

fuck

[warm thorn]

Some vehicles need to make custom texture for them.

That's great news! This vehicle color mod will supports vehicles mods as long as the Vehicles mod's body texture matches the original car body texture name.

I think I can assign the window part to a "glass" texture and replace them with real glass material in remix.

[smoky gate]

samp lua,?

[smoky gate]

CAN U UPLOAD THIS FIX

or upload where atleast the cars fxed

removed top blac kdor

dot

[warm thorn]

?

I've to create all the color textures first before uploading them along with the mod. This ensures that everything is prepared and ready to go when the mod is available for download.

It's 8:18am. I need to get some rest now as I'm feeling really tired from testing and bug fixing the mod.

[smoky gate]

wow

top g

[smoky gate]

pretty good mod

this mod wil make og vehicels outstnading, so good mod

omg it will be so fucking realistic

fuckng delhell

like dx4.5 lol

wow fallbac lighting is actually genius too xd

this is too mch
