I'm a Chinese guy from Hong Kong, and English is not my native language. So sometimes the words I send here may not fully reflect my original meaning, as I've used ChatGPT to help translate.

your language is good
Thanks chatGPT.🤣
I've watched the Impunes trailer before, so I have a bit of knowledge about you. When you came to this channel, I recognized that you might be the person working on the 2nibble game. I'm really excited about your game!
candid sapphire
I heard about this one but never looked
opal sable
it's the only one i actually paid for. it's so good that it was able to help me rewrite massive scripts and also help with niche tasks
def try the free tier. it's pretty good 🙂
candid sapphire
Does it knows the entire moonloader documentation ? ☠️
warm thorn
chatgpt is the future of ai programming
GPT4 may not be the best for developing GTA scripts, as it lacks the resources needed to properly learn and work with that kind of specialized code. Sometimes It uses a function name that don't actually exist in Moonloader or Moonaddition. I need to search their documentation to find the correct function names.
opal sable
Does it knows the entire moonloader documentation ? ☠️
you can probably supply it to it with the file upload feature
i've done that with other things. got it right 90% of the time afterward

opal sable
Claude itself has some extra functions that Poe doesn't though, keep that in mind
warm thorn
Lua c++ integration?
Yes, I've accessed some in-game memory addresses in GTA San Andreas (like the ImVehFt vehicle light status). I want to make a library that I can use for developing my scripts.
opal sable
Ok this is something worth a try
use the Sonnet model, if you're given a choice
warm thorn
Which one?
warm thorn
Thanks
I'm hoping this AI model can help me develop my scripts, so I don't have to spend as much time searching for code online. The Moonloader and Moonaddition communities are mostly Russian, so it's difficult for me to properly search for the functions I need.
opal sable
i hope it works for you
candid sapphire
17k verts for this piece of paper, because I can
warm thorn
17k verts for this piece of paper, because I can
Nice! Did you sculpt the model or just use the proportional editing tools? It seems like you may have used the wrong brush for the sculpting part.
candid sapphire
I used cloth one for the corners and "Draw" for the rest
I didn't find one specifically for paper so idk if there is a better choice
I sculpted it yes
warm thorn
To get sharper creased shapes, you can use the inflate / deflate. And then use the smooth tool to fine tune the shape.
I don't have a lot of experience with sculpting in Blender, so I sometimes just try things out through trial and error.
candid sapphire
Yeah I tried some scuplting stuff and this one was the best looking one I found, I'll see if I can do something else but that looks good enough
fast stone
bout two more papers
and you'll max the gta sa budget limit
needs 64 bit
speaking of reSA
when
candid sapphire
The tape holding the paper should max it out don't worry
nah the tape is 289 verts each, I did the same scultping thing on em but not as much as the paper itself cuz useless
fast stone
needs more
candid sapphire
Numberpad that looks weird and maybe overall color to change and it's done, if you have any advice i'll take em
Already made the black side not a mirror cuz it was weird
fast stone
collected 3-4k textures, generated 8k (for normal meshes/dffs)
generating for lods now (Separately)
original lods had 32x32 etc
upscaling 4x
for remix
expecting bad-ok result
pbr generated for normal meshes/dffs
decent-good result imo
warm thorn
and you'll max the gta sa budget limit
We have no limit in Remix
warm thorn
Remix will override this setting, better turn it off
fast stone
already off
ya know how to fix this alpha bug?
skygfx fixes it but performance
rip
warm thorn
In Need for Speed Underground 2, we have a 600k polygon tree replacement in remix. Since remix uses a 64-bit renderer, we don't need to worry about the original game's polygon limits. The only real limit is our PC's memory. Also, path tracing is very efficient with high polygon counts.
fast stone
was joking
latest version of silent patch
don't got dual pass anymore
but older version does
need to find it
dual pass fixes that
warm thorn
Replace them with real polygon models without the alpha channels.
fast stone
ahh damn
from this
looking for different newer (but older than current) version
that says "dualpass" inside ini
instead of twopassing
fast stone
Replace them with real polygon models without the alpha channels.
but that defeats the purpose
gta sa veg mods
warm thorn
but that defeats the purpose
You may have misunderstood the purpose of the remix.
warm thorn
fast stone
not just bugged on trees
the other alpha objects too
dual pass 2 from skygfx fixes it
you're simply sweeping the bug under the rug
not everyone like you ya know
some wants older mods on remix
etc
warm thorn
Use a lower performance mod just to get the alpha channel to work? Is that really the best approach? Why don't we try to optimize how the remix renderer works instead?
fast stone
i'm saying skygfx fixes it
dual pass
nothing to do with perofrmance
performance is another topic
warm thorn
not everyone like you ya know
The SkyGFX mod has very low performance when used with remix.
fast stone
damn
silent patch has dual pass too
and it runs np
right?
sky gfx has dual pass too but more updated and it eliminates the alpha bug
it's open source
simply obtian the code and use it as standalone
like saying why use project2dfx
warm thorn
dual pass
Yes, you can. But it's more efficient to replace them in the remix. Trying to fix them in the original game that works in the remix will likely result in more mods, which could impact performance in path tracing.
fast stone
not one mod
all gta sa mods
that got alpha stuff
is bugged here
need a mod that fixes it
not working on replacing with new contents
warm thorn
that got alpha stuff

Adding more mods will likely increase the number of texture and meshhashes, which could definitely cause issues with your replacement textures and models.

i'm picking myself some hd mods from gta sa
and make them as optional
with pbr's
warm thorn
Don't try to make more mods compatible with the replacement. I've tried that before, if the player adds just one more mod, your replacement textures may end up disappearing.
fast stone
true
warm thorn
i get like 70-80 fps
Maybe the issue is that my desktop CPU is too weak. I tried it on my laptop yesterday, which has an i9 13900H and an RTX 4060. With the LODMod installed, the performance hit wasn't too bad, compared to my desktop which has a Ryzen 3700 and an RTX 4090.
warm thorn
Also, my screen resolution is 3440x1440, which is a 21:9 aspect ratio monitor. This means there's more objects visible in the game, which could also be contributing to the performance issues.
fast stone
right
i'd crash on gta sa alot just modding it
vanilla
testing etc
but on remix, i don't/rarely crash
warm thorn
Using fewer mods tends to be more stable. Your best bet is to just try replacing all the assets in Remix. Since your team has built up a lot of assets over the years, you should be able to handle that. But for GTASA modding, we don't have that luxury, so we have to do it all ourselves.
fast stone
weapon mod i made for original gta sa
already got pbr etc from it
.max's
sp files
might end up porting them to remix don't know
like this uzi https://www.artstation.com/artwork/GeQVBd
was making an island for gta mixed mod
but high poly etc
almost too much for vanilla gta sa
so like you said, remix
this island
maybe in the future don't know
after sharing/uploading rosa rtx remix
i'm returning to impunes and use all my time on it for a while
fastman92 mod (which gta mixed uses/requires)
works on remix
i tested gta mixed on remix
worked
the three cities in one
but the island looked fucked on remix
super wip ya
that pic was took with hdr
hdr don't work good on remix
tried special k's hdr, reshade's hdr, and nvidia rtx hdr
shitty/no worky result
warm thorn
The best approach is to transform old mods into remix mods. That will help reduce issues with texture and mesh hashes. It also allows players to pick and choose which mods they want to use, similar to how players can mix and match different GTA mods. For example, if there's a modded tree mod, a modded interior mod, and a modded grass mod, the player can mix and match them if they're separate USDA files.
I've created a big categories to split the different types of assets for this purpose.
fast stone
ya
need to focus on using original default gta sa and replace with new meshes on remix
20kb dff on gta sa side? and 1mil asset on remix side? np
warm thorn
20kb dff on gta sa side? and 1mil asset on remix side? np
My vehicle tool kit script uses a 16x16 bitmap image to replace the vehicle colors with real colors. And it adds some PBR properties like roughness and metalness in Remix.
fast stone
nice
warm thorn
tried special k's hdr, reshade's hdr, and nvidia rtx hdr
I don't have an HDR monitor, but I saw a Modder can enable HDR in Remix with RTX HDR.

used your tool to generate pbr's, @opal sable - it's great
tried pbrfusion
and ocotex
it's the models

@warm thorn how you optimized the lighting stuff?
40 fps here cuz of the lights i think
or just the ints in the sky
impacting the performance
nah, my gpu is choking for some reason (background app ruinning?)
right
warm thorn
Nothing need to optimized.

You can use eco mode on composer to not kill performance and keep both open

AI generated PBR (roughness/normal) maps from ROSA Evolved for RTX Remix.
Thanks to Kim from RTX Remix Showcase Discord server for his PBRifry AI models used with chainner app to generate PBR, and upscale 4x the ROSA lod textures.
Changelog:
08/24/2024 / v0.1 - First release. PBR’s are raw atm. AI generated PBR’s are the base to filter from. Most exterior stuff and lods are pbr'd. Three interiors (barber1, cj’s home, and pizza stack) are pbr’d. The rest, such as peds, weapons, interiors, and etc, are not, yet. CJ (vest, jeans, one pair of shoes, and a head you see at intro) are partially pbr’d. Lights added to the three pbr’d interiors.
Read the readme on the google drive for instruction.

took me a bit while and ended up thinking kim's the best
the rest are ok, not fitting
too strong and too weak
in some areas of the textures
there are normal maps to filter
like the billboards
texts etc
removed 230 normal maps

how does sunset, night look? or do they work? or sunrise
round tendon
man whats up with this download speed on nexus bruh lol
should it be fine the latest build but from patreon?
round tendon
yeah i downloaded it from patreon in like 2 mins lol
also, a trainer does work with remix right?
for changing time fast n stuff
the folder "mods" from rosa rtx remix 002 should be in main directory?
or the rosartxremix from mods should be unpacked in main directory?
the description was a bit unclear in the case of this zip file
round tendon
pf of course theres always a crash
should i send a log?
followed the instructions as they were said
candid sapphire
also, a trainer does work with remix right?
I use RZL Trainer, works with remix and never had a problem with it
round tendon
I use RZL Trainer, works with remix and never had a problem with it
did u manage to install 0.1 version or something
idk what seems to be the issue on mine
installed everything according to the readme doc
fast stone
set up like this
you just download the zipped file and extract the whole stuff inside to gta sa root folder
fast stone
should rename this to something else
@warm thorn
thought it actually hbao (the ao stuff)
not health bar
maybe change it to HeaBAO or something
round tendon
set up like this
still crashes.
did exactly as said in the readme file
can you help?
round tendon
also, as a side stuff, i believe some descriptions can be a bit confusing.
round tendon
damn
fast stone
doing a clean install (haven't gotten to that yet, will do now)
and test
give me about an hour
google drive fast
maxing my 1gb line
maybe missing data and model folders from 1.0 version needed for steam version
actually
can add audio folder on google drive
don't need to go to mixmods to download audio
data and model folders too
round tendon
i thought its always inconvinient to constantly go in each readme modpack file in 5000 websites for some mods only to access another 5000 links
fast stone
ya, nothing i can do
the mods are updated frequently
bad idea to include outdated mods in pack
can you test this? just data and model folders from v1.0 gta sa
overwrite
in gta sa root folder
round tendon
so hold up, what am i supposed to do
round tendon
i mean i have modloader which includes rosa inside
and some other stuff called rtx-remix -mods - rosartxremix
if thats what u mean
fast stone
see if it stops crashing
round tendon
do i just replace the files inside ?
fast stone
see this
from essential pack
try moving/copying all of these into gta sa root folder and test
except modloader ini
don't overwrite that
maybe cleo needed i don't know
round tendon
so this? except the modloader.ini?
fast stone
yes
round tendon
it aint even got modloader.ini
fast stone
replace, except modloader.ini
round tendon
lol
fast stone
oh ok
round tendon
that thing makes itself when u boot up the game
round tendon
works what? it doesn't. its the same thing i previously had
fast stone
did you move/copy the whole stuff from essential pack to your gta sa folder?
round tendon
yeah, as i did the first time lol
round tendon
ah okay
warm thorn
Maybe missing 24h time cycle mod (timecycle24.asi)?
warm thorn
I think the timecyc_24h.dat file should be placed inside the "data" folder.
round tendon
leave asi there tho?
warm thorn
yes
round tendon
wow thats amazing, it worked 😂
warm thorn
round tendon
what a goofy reason to have the game crash tho. readme file said in directory
yeah..i def think it should be corrected a bit
fast stone
works np here
was missing v1.0 data and models folders needed
also updated the doc
oh
.dat?
should be in data ya
typo
warm thorn
Yeah, I used this name on purpose. HBAO stands for "Health Bar Always On".
round tendon
i always thought hbao stands for some AA 
warm thorn
Remix doesn't need HBAO feature, so I think it's okay to use that name.🤣
round tendon
yeah, its just that its so widely known for that lol
warm thorn
Similar to how the Remix uses "TREX" as name.
round tendon
altho i dont see any ofthe menus
are there some specific settings for gta sa?
with remix?
in game
warm thorn
Mark those text as UI.
round tendon
?
warm thorn
round tendon
can give more of info? not like i used remix for a long time lol
warm thorn
Wait, you didn't play game with Remix before?
warm thorn
How to show UI:
candid sapphire
Is some text showing on top left corner of the game when loading a save/New save ??
round tendon
vehicles dont have glass reflections still ? or is it something from my end?
candid sapphire
If u're using rosa from zeneric idk
warm thorn
vehicles dont have glass reflections still ? or is it something from my end?
That's something the Zeneric would need to fix.
warm thorn
Alternatively, you can wait for my script to fix it. But if you use other mods, the vehicle appearance may have problems, like no reflections on the car body. Only the color may display correctly, because some hashes may change if you use other mods.
round tendon
well i have this build specifically for just rtx remix lol
not like i have many opportunities here in this build 😂
so i guess this is the rosa adaptation of rtx remix, right?
how do u open that rzl menu
nvm found
seems like night time and other stuff isnt present in this remix version?
do i need anything else to have a proper sun, sunset, sunrise, night?
lol ryder's car is white
fast stone
fuck
is dark on new install
can you test?
use alt - x and tweak the normal strength
round tendon
night time doesnt even exist lol
warm thorn
do i need anything else to have a proper sun, sunset, sunrise, night?
You'll need to wait until Zeneric adds my sun mod and edits the mesh hashes to fix the issue.
round tendon
where now?
fast stone
material options
fast stone
can you put this in exteriors folder inside rtx-remix?
replace
and test in game
should see this
changing the normal strength should change it
changing the look
round tendon
so is it supposed to be in exteriors folder
or inside rosartxremix
they arent the same
round tendon
okay, i replaced
altho before i did that
i also did for rosartxremix
did that fuck up anything?
fast stone
but
older version of mod.usda didn't work for me
had to fix
maybe happening to you too
yes
fucked up
sedc
put this in rosartxremix
warm thorn
Having two "mod.usda" files could make the Remix confused about which one to load??
round tendon
they still black af
fast stone
now need to tweak lighting
round tendon
the windows
fast stone
now
round tendon
fast stone
go to cj's interior/home
and check out the lighting there
is it working?
or dark?
round tendon
wont that start up the mission?
fast stone
no
use teleporter
to take you inside
or pizza stack
cj or pizza stack doesn't matter
round tendon
not for me
round tendon
still doesnt work
all these vehicles have this weird blackness going around
Diesel smoke 
fast stone
yes
round tendon
what was this supposed to do?
fast stone
adds sphere lights to game
interior lights
cj, pizza stack
and barber shop
the first barber shop
pizza stack works
for you
but not cj
is weird
round tendon
still black here for me
fast stone
wtf
can you check barber shop?
oh ya
maybe
try to fly out of cj's home
outside the interior
round tendon
burger shot works ig but those lights look like water fountains or something lol
round tendon
ig barber works
fast stone
so sup with cj
round tendon
barber 2 not so well xd
round tendon
what am i supposed to see here?
fast stone
no
go inside
fly outside the interior
so you see the interior outside
still black?
round tendon
nah i dont see any interior tho
warm thorn
Maybe your version of the Rosa mod is different than Zeneric's version, so the meshhashes are different.
warm thorn
Or Zeneric might have some other mods installed that also changed the meshhashes.

Hmm, I synced my "sphere.usd" file on GitHub yesterday, and it's working fine for me. The issue is probably that the reference is in the wrong location or the meshhash has changed.

Yes, using the moonaddition (MoonAdditions.dll) feature can get all the nearest objects at a specified position (mad.get_all_objects). Otherwise, I would need to create a new function to read the IDE file at game start, and then initialize all the light positions and spawn the streetlights if they are within the camera view or within a certain range behind the camera.

Anything I could do to improve it ??

i think it seems to be good enough

And I still changed it lmao :
-Made the texture rusty, cuz why not
-Made the black panel thicker cuz it looked weird being thinner than the paper
-Remade the UV map cuz it was shit
And I'm not changing it anymore I have t much to do to keep updating this lmao

As a rule of thumb, the overall lighting of a scene should come from primitive lights and not emissive meshes. Both primitive lights as well as emissive meshes will cast light in a physically correct way, so their behavior is similar. However, primitive lights are sampled much more efficiently by the Remix renderer, resulting in both higher performance and lower noise when compared to emissive meshes. Whenever a primitive light can do the job, it should be preferred.
sourced from this lilnk
so, avoid emissive as it's very costly
and they both emit same
don't need both for the sun and moon
just sphere light
fast stone
also
i think should use directional light
not disk light
for sun/moon
unless it is directional light
and don't need the sphere mesh
just the sphere light will do
the mesh is for emissive right?
the sun dont need it
moon does for texturing
warm thorn
i think should use directional light
I'm aware of that problem, but it looks fine to me, so I didn't want to implement it. You can try adjusting my script and changing the sphere light to a directional light in Omniverse. Also, if using a directional light, it needs some extra objects to control the light and the sun/moon movement.

You can try how it looks without the emissive value. Actually, I tried using a directional light before, but the sun sphere object would block the light and cast weird shadows on the ground. Since we can't ignore the sun / moon to cast shadows like in other renderers, I definitely don't want to work with this setup.
Your idea is good. I've also done a lot of rendering work with path tracing renderers, so I definitely know how real world light behavior works. However, it just doesn't work well in Remix, so I chose to use a sphere light and an emissive texture instead.
warm thorn
It's cause by volumetric lighting
warm thorn
Now you understand what I mean - Remix doesn't work well for certain things.🤣
warm thorn
Every engine or renderer has its limitations. Remix is a real-time path tracing engine that works with modern hardware (but actually it's not powerful enough for real-time fully path tracing). So it needs some optimized ways to improve performance for real-time use. But in doing so, it may sacrifice some functions that other engines can provide. We're all just trying and experimenting to work with these trade-offs.

That's good. But the rusty/dirty areas could use some more refinement. Try adding some leaks or drips from the top, corners, edge to make it look more natural. And if you add those rusty areas, make sure to also adjust the roughness and normal map to match.

distant lights do work here n
this sky texture tho
looks weird on remix
had to move the sun/moon farther away
like 3 times (26000)
so clouds don't go behind the sun/moon
the sun fades in behind the cloud
cool effect
warm thorn
Woo, is that a dynamic cloud ?
warm thorn
distant lights do work here n
Does the distant light react like a normal sunset/sunrise, or is it just a static light?
fast stone
i don't know it happens on disc/other lights
but changing the color on it affects everything
blue, everything is bluie
like irl
maybe
warm thorn
I mean does the distant light move, or does it stay in the same position?
Previously, I had the sun and moon orbiting around the player's position based on the actual game sun position. But that would get culled when they went behind the camera.
When I tried using a distant light setup, the sun itself was casting shadows (maybe because it was too close to the player), so I didn't use that approach. Moving the sun really far away might have solved the problem, but I didn't try that after switching to a new method.
The new approach is to have a sphere attached to the player's position, and rotate that sphere based on game time to move the sun and moon.
round tendon
is there stuff that needs to be done before implementing Hemry's timecycle? like sunset, night etc?
warm thorn
I'm testing the distant light setup, and it seems to work if the sun sphere is moved far away. Before, I had it 200 meters away, but now it's 8,000 meters away, and there are no more weird shadows.
However, the scene appears to be more noisy compared to when I was using a disc light as the sun light previously.
fast stone
it moves
same as your sun/moon
the only difference that's essential i think
is
shit sec
this
"Angle"
for distant light on ly
but not working correctly on my proejct for some reason
wintry furnace
Distant light only shines from infinitely far away so yeah

gonna adapt your streetlight mod now, @warm thorn
cuz kinda hard to judge
this remix is hot
too addicting tho
gotta give it 9.5/10
cuz too much
warm thorn
gonna adapt your streetlight mod now, <@944081029331820574>
I'm still working on debugging the vehicle toolkit. Wait a moment until I finish traveling the map to add all the lights.
fast stone
sure timecyc matters on remix?
didn't see any difference with some timecyc mods
the 24 h mods
vanilla works?
tweaked some 24 hours timecyc's fog distance
no effect
fast stone
tried vanilla gta sa timecyc
no difference
this thing don't work on remix
unless just me, i fucked up something
solar girder
@fast stone what mods are you using with RTX?
warm thorn
sure timecyc matters on remix?
Only a few parameters work well in Remix:
Amb, Amb_Ob, SkyTop, Sky bot, FarClp, Most other parameters don't seem to work properly.

thanks ❤️
so this works, don't need to be mod.usda
saremix_streetlights.usda shold be in saremix?
warm thorn
thanks ❤️
I will try to use custom meshes for replacement. That will make it easier for different mod creators to modify the mesh hashes. Right now, a single object in the game is separated into numerous objects in Remix. I will also use very small texture sizes to avoid the in-game textures being the same size as what I'm replacing the mesh hashes with.
warm thorn
saremix_streetlights.usda shold be in saremix?
Oops, my bad. That should be inside the SARemix folder.
fast stone
i think can use just saremix.usda
put data from saremix_streetlights.usda into saremix.usda
needs just one file
warm thorn
Shit, i think i missing some files...
That package should include all the necessary files.
warm thorn
so this works, don't need to be mod.usda
You don't need to name all the USDA files as "mod.usda". I'm wondering why you have so many files named that way. It would be better to name them according to their usage, to make the management easier.
warm thorn
The only file that needs to be named "mod.usda" is the main file that includes all the sublayers.
warm thorn
@fast stone You need to keep the "sphere.usd" reference, don't delete it. Just set the scale to 0, 0, 0. If there is no mesh in the meshhashes, the light will not work properly.
warm thorn
Yes, but don't set the value too low. If you do, it can cause many weird artifacts.
fast stone
dont work
needs hash changes i think
possible to label what these are ?
streetlamp name in?
checking firsdt
on composer
warm thorn
Wait a minute, i record a video
Have you not watched any tutorials on modding with Composer?
fast stone
wait
why the different hash?
i use vanilla
lua script does work
this pic is without rosa etc (just vanilla)
warm thorn
You need the same mods from the recommended mod list for it to work properly. Any additional mods or missing mods will cause the meshhashes to change.
warm thorn
The additional meshhash is not with the street light itself. The script spawns an additional mesh under the street light position, offset by -100 units in the Z-axis.

There are two types of lights :
warm thorn
When capturing the scene, use this setting.
In the USD Composer, click on the Root Layer and set the World Axis to Z. This will make the world work with the correct axis, making it easier for editing.
fast stone
already z axis
not that unit tho
i'm on 1.000
remix is measured in cm?
if cm, 1.000 is correct
warm thorn
Both the scene capture and the root layer in the USD Composer need to be set to the Z-axis. Your scene doesn't look like Z up.
warm thorn
if cm, 1.000 is correct
Meter
