NFSU2 (Need For Speed Underground 2)

[jade briar]

Even the desk

Area under my monitor is so dusty.

[spark moon]

i cleaned my system once in 3 year after they were aout of waranty

[cloud crypt]

xD

[ember cobalt]

i clean mine once every 6 months or so

doesn't need it often

[jade briar]

This man really loves his setup

[cloud crypt]

I do xD

[jade briar]

I was planning to clean mine. Now I gotta wait for my burns to heal.

[cloud crypt]

Sry, its just a S23 Ultra xD

[spark moon]

now typing it

[cloud crypt]

nothing special

[spark moon]

amazing phone

[jade briar]

Still doesn't have a 4090

[cloud crypt]

nah, i wait for 6000usd 5090

[spark moon]

point to be noted

[jade briar]

If only you didn't waste money on those overpriced light things and other random doodads

[cloud crypt]

i just baught it because i needed smth better than my 3070 Ti.
And these lightthings i had already with my Zotac 1070 AMP Extreme

[spark moon]

now wait nvidia will launch 5090 soon get that direxrtly

[cloud crypt]

5090 will be my next card. after that i'll wait 2 generations for a new one

[jade briar]

Maybe I'll buy a 5090. It gets really fucking hot in my country

And the 4090 is too much for my body to handle.

[cloud crypt]

xD. Pakistan, right?

[jade briar]

Yeah

[cloud crypt]

thats way to hot

[jade briar]

[spark moon]

we also get that much for some time

[jade briar]

This is just the start

Just wait until 45° with 65% humidity

[spark moon]

Amazing News i deleted my ug1 project mistakenly

while pasting ug2 files

[jade briar]

Amazing

Just like what I did

Had to rebuild all my shit

[spark moon]

any way i will get preety fast this time

[spark moon]

for us most of the time humid is 100% due high greenary

[jade briar]

Damn

[wispy drum]

Version 0.2

[cloud crypt]

god, i love what i did with the lights xD

[wispy drum]

its amazing and much better than the old 0.1 version

only bad the dlss ghosting its massive and the metallic/pearl colours in the car they all look matte

[cloud crypt]

turn off dev settings

[wispy drum]

i turned them off when i opened the game yes

only enable dlss

thank you for fixing the menu too no more dark they all look excellent

with DLSS 3 the fps would skyrocket in the game

[cloud crypt]

there are still many lights to be added

[cloud crypt]

yeah true

[wispy drum]

and somehow to fix the motion vectors from the dlss upscaling there is another one car behind ours when running fast from the ghosting

the road the lighting all look way more realistic than the 0.1 version

your work with burrito and adams is amazing

[cloud crypt]

made a green NFSUG2 logo with longer ends on the 2. Can someone do smth with that?

[wispy drum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t06Xwo_3Xcg

[wanton apex]

racing fans in general enjoy his content. I belive I found him through forza myself

[jade briar]

Go to the last tab in the settings, and disabled developer settings. I think that might be the problem.

[plain stag]

Bro noooo green

[balmy chasm]

What is the emissive intensity in your config?

[cobalt peak]

Why does he look like Andrew Tate

[cloud crypt]

Can you do smth with it?

I am not that good in creating logos xD

[timid prairie]

I already done what i could, i still can't get rid of NFSU1 logo that i tried to do multiple times

[cloud crypt]

if it helps: all leters have exactly 10 degrees of inclination to the right

[hot gulch]

How to install the mod for Nfsu2?

[surreal ruin]

Check the pinned messages.

[balmy chasm]

When 1 is default

[timid prairie]

If i could do that in programm in which im doing then there would be no need to say that, and someone still didn't gave me a simple answer

[cloud crypt]

XD, same setting as burrito is using

[twilit pasture]

new update?

[jade briar]

That's

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

hmm

[twilit pasture]

any fix?

after some gameplay this hpnd

[jade briar]

Try restarting.

[jade briar]

How long did it take to happen?

[twilit pasture]

after 1:30

[jade briar]

What are your dlss settings?

[twilit pasture]

auto

[cloud crypt]

dude, test my updated rtx conf

this one

[jade briar]

What did you change in this one?

[cloud crypt]

its the one where i deleted the added lights to the textures

[twilit pasture]

same bro

[jade briar]

strange

[jade briar]

Does the sky also disappear?

[cloud crypt]

hm ok. then disable restrir gi

[twilit pasture]

yes i think It happens when it starts to rain

[jade briar]

Interesting.

[balmy chasm]

Look at vignette which is super sharp

[balmy chasm]

Stefem writing a poem over there

[cloud crypt]

seems like that xD

[chrome meadow]

PC internals components aren't designed to be handled by anyone like plugging the vacuum cleaner to the wall socket, it require some skills, albeit some really basic one like ensuring a correct insertion of a connector which apparently some lack or they simply decided that halfway was enough and thought "nah, it will be fine". Mishandling of internal of any electrical appliance pose risk of damage or other hazards like fire and electric shock, the old connector isn't an exception and it becoming the point of failure is way more common than most think.
People should rely on a professional or skilled person that know what's doing if they don't, faulty parts will ever be a thing but the design itself looks to be fine, it's been put through some nasty torture test without failing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkN81jRaupA

Ah yea, the guy that drilled a hole in the motherboard without considering the possibility to struck a trace... which he ended up doing 👏
That was fun to watch, I though he was joking at first but he did it for real 😆

[cloud crypt]

ah ok, so i stay with Linux and some german techyoutuber you might dont know

but i think B8uer you will know

[chrome meadow]

B8uer certainly know what's talking about due to his job and studies

[misty pebble]

by chance did i screw something up? I put all the stuff in the correct folders

[cloud crypt]

its normal, just ignore

[misty pebble]

cool, and i love this. Gonna update my drivers to see if i still don't crash

[cloud crypt]

crashes can happen when using HD reflections plugin

[misty pebble]

I meant my PC going black

[cloud crypt]

oh ok xD

[misty pebble]

where i have to do a force restart

xD

but yea, going to do that rn

[jade briar]

Seems like a hardware issue to me.

Daytime config. Highly experimental.

[severe solstice]

thx

[balmy chasm]

Why it looks so... Like the one from Substance?

[trail quail]

I don't know it's textures I had in my HDD a long time ago I share for people here it's all nothing wrong

this is a texture for sidewalks

[cloud crypt]

instead of sharoing them loose could you pls put them in a rar or zip?

[trail quail]

I have a rotten connection that's why

[surreal slate]

you know, if you got NFS 2015, you could rip it's textures for this project, somebody even ported the textures to NFS Carbon, they look pretty good

https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/2833

[trail quail]

I send you a site for the textures .

[balmy chasm]

Omg, banned website .-.

[trail quail]

road textures

[cloud crypt]

fixed the lightspread on the signs

[trail quail]

@jade briar 2500K. Should i go a bit colder?

[jade briar]

yes

[cloud crypt]

3225K

[jade briar]

A bit more

like 3800

[cloud crypt]

ok wait

3810

[trail quail]

here I have shared several sites for textures I hope it will help people here if I find sites with textures I share with you

[jade briar]

nice

[jade briar]

looks good

[misty pebble]

Hm, alright

[misty pebble]

Would not be surprised as the RTX i have i bought used

[cloud crypt]

dont know why but in OV i placed them all...
3 out of 6 are glowing

ok, after i enabled normalize power 4 are working...

[balmy chasm]

Aren't you using Normalize for every light?

[cloud crypt]

well no

[balmy chasm]

May be you should. Any shenanigan can make them work not as intended

[cloud crypt]

what does normalize power anyways?

[balmy chasm]

Hover over it

[cloud crypt]

oh, ok

[balmy chasm]

I didn't know about that either. Bless Adam knew

[cloud crypt]

hm

[jade briar]

hm

[cloud crypt]

the 2 lights not working annoy me. But still lokks good

more and more lights coming together

small lights, that are emitting buildings i will do after i placed all road lights that are needed

[cloud crypt]

these are no lights rihgt?

[wispy drum]

thank you will try it now.

[jade briar]

These are

[cloud crypt]

oh ok, good to know

like that?

[pearl pike]

Hi guys, I installed the mod, following the tutorial, but the game doesn't run, is it common thing for some people?

[cloud crypt]

did you renamed dinput8 to dsound?

[pearl pike]

y

[cloud crypt]

?

[pearl pike]

o w8 what i thought i did but it wasnt

[jade briar]

Looks good.

[pearl pike]

but now it crashes at start lol

[cloud crypt]

in widescreenfix it has to be windowed mode 4 and you have to delete HDReflections if you still have it in there

[pearl pike]

it runs now, but its like vanilla game, maybe i should do it again everything

rtx remis seems to load beacuse i can ALT+x but no changes

[odd dome]

amazing

a bit greenish tint to road lights are more immersive

kinda like nfs 2015 ones

[cloud crypt]

Heights lights. Cant really change them since they are used elsewhere

i think on the highway

the heights will have different illuminated areas

[jade briar]

Damn. I wish they were light colored.

Like. Bluish.

[chrome meadow]

Ain't gonna happen, Adam corrupted him

[jade briar]

I mean. I like yellow lights.

Looks good for the highway.

But adam's version looked like my pee on a warm summer day.

(even tho I suggested those values)

Don't look at me.

I wanted the hills to have a different color because of two things.

It is a green hilly area, so cool lights would make it look more natural/fresher.

And the second reason is that I kinda want every different section of the map to have its unique color pallet. This way when the player is driving in a new area, they know that it is a different part of the map.

[pearl pike]

it runs now!, but why no lights? :'c

[jade briar]

I KNEW THE RTX.CONF WAS BROKEN

@cloud crypt You said that my files were working.

I gotta look into it.

[chrome meadow]

Yea, the original game used kind of cold light for the hills if I remember

We should try to recreate the original mood

[cloud crypt]

yes, for me they do lol. No issues no matter how often i uninstall and reinstall

[jade briar]

I think I know why it is like this.

[cloud crypt]

ok, what do you have in mind?

maybe because you seperated the 2 mod.usda's?

so only yours getting loaded

thats what i think

[cloud crypt]

its the best i can do on some lights without destroying the look of other areas

and the biggest part of the heights are using these ones

looks ok for me atleast

[cloud crypt]

i know what you mean. But the lights are reused everywhere. Its just not possible...

[jade briar]

Yeah.

[jade briar]

Hey can you replace this file in this folder

[pearl pike]

K, I’ll try after lunch, thanks m8

[cloud crypt]

have you merged them together now?

[jade briar]

Yes.

[jade briar]

I did the fix anchorlight helped me with in #general-remix

They're not merged.

That'd be a bad idea.

[cloud crypt]

oh ok

yeah, atleast for its current state

[jade briar]

I think different parts of the mod can be kept in their separate files for ever

Will help with organization

[trail quail]

Been watching you lot improve this day by day. Been cool to see the progress

[cloud crypt]

we do our best

[jade briar]

Yo hell, how did you change the rotation of the capture layer?

[cloud crypt]

no, the root layer

[jade briar]

thx

[pearl pike]

Still no lights, should I activate something in my gameconfig? I only had turned on Fog option.

[jade briar]

That's strange. I'll have to look into it later. It's bed time.

[pearl pike]

there are some areas that have lights but its like some streets only

[cloud crypt]

thats even more strange

[pearl pike]

will try re-installing everything

those will be the files i'll use + WideScreen

[severe solstice]

same problem i have rtx 2080

[cloud crypt]

wait

[cloud crypt]

use this dxvk_remix build

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/actions/runs/5272240553

[pearl pike]

k

k, after a bit of testing, it seems that works when i do it on admin mode (right click run as administrator)

@severe solstice test it that way

it looks a bit darker but it works

there are some settings that i can change to make it more brigther?

[jade briar]

Ahhhhhh. There we go.

I was tearing my hair out over this.

[severe solstice]

nice, yeah now works nice found

[pearl pike]

it seems that lowering World detail also make the lights disappear

[jade briar]

Yeah don't do that

World detail must remain high

[cloud crypt]

new mod.usda only for @jade briar since he has to add that to his textures.
!!THIS SHOULD !!NOT!! BE DOWNLOADED BY OTHERS!!

sry for ping. gn

[jade briar]

What does this add?

[cloud crypt]

lights for the upper part of the map. its not completely done yet but it adds light to all roads

[jade briar]

Ah nice. Thx.

🤔

[cloud crypt]

[jade briar]

Man's a mod developer

[cloud crypt]

uh nice
But yeah, i think i will pause it for now too. I will add more lights after i slept

only slept 3 hours last night xD

[jade briar]

Hey uhh hell

Why not you start with trying to add headlights to traffic? They're one big mesh so there's probably not gonna be any culling problems.

@cloud crypt

I think that'll add a lot of life to the city

[misty pebble]

wait, my map is a square???

[sweet ingot]

Always has been lol

But I'm not sure that's normally supposed to happen tbh

[cloud crypt]

its normal. Just turn on horizon fog in settings and it is fixed

[cloud crypt]

yeah, i will see if i get that done

[misty pebble]

Aight, will do

[safe patrol]

Yeah seems like a low-hanging fruit that would make a pretty good difference. You can use my headlight emissives and it helps but real lights would be better

[balmy chasm]

@jade briar On this image you can see white painted strips on the road with the width of around 1.5m. Doesn't really contribute to realistic road texture

[balmy chasm]

Have you changed road roughness?

[spark moon]

yea settings different now... mistakenly deleted files so created again

[balmy chasm]

Previous one just hit the spot. Here it is more reflective 🥲

[spark moon]

i remember the values,,,

dont worry

[balmy chasm]

Now it is all about fixing that weird statue texture

[spark moon]

for now only working on lights

[sage wraith]

Hey POM isnt Supported yet Right?

[jade briar]

Nope

Probably won't be

[sage wraith]

oh ok sad

[clever meadow]

can someone send the rtx config please, i clicked reset on rtx remix and got all config broken now

burrito Underground 2 Remix WIP4 you have it ?

[clever meadow]

i already copy the files

got no texture on game

[jade briar]

Disable road reflections.

In game settings.

[clever meadow]

thanks

[jade briar]

Bus simulator 2023

[balmy chasm]

So have you touched road marks?

[jade briar]

They're custom made.

[balmy chasm]

The cross walk one

[jade briar]

All of them

[balmy chasm]

So you left that 1.5m cross walk intentionally?

[jade briar]

Yes.

[balmy chasm]

Great great

[balmy chasm]

If it is cross walk texture, then it is really UV stretched .-.

[surreal ruin]

Every texture in this game is uv stretched haha

Just take a careful look at any road

[balmy chasm]

I know I know :D

[cloud crypt]

there was a bus in the game??

[cloud crypt]

you should do the parking spot too... It just looks cringe when you are at the airport

[jade briar]

Yeah

I should

I have a few ideas to improve the overall textures.

[balmy chasm]

like make them true scale

[jade briar]

NO

Should be EXACTLY like the original game.

[balmy chasm]

Exactly like original game means don't touch textures at all

[sage wraith]

Is it possible to Change tue repeat count of a Surface?

[balmy chasm]

UV tiling?

[sage wraith]

For example i Made a pile of rubble, but on the Model its really big

[surreal ruin]

Yeah that's UV tiling

[balmy chasm]

Just shrink the texture twice?

[jade briar]

Yep

[sage wraith]

Yes that would be possible, But the Resolution will be smaller then too

[balmy chasm]

Nah. Your texture will be sharper

[jade briar]

Double the resolution.

[sage wraith]

Then the textures will be really big

[jade briar]

Then uhhh

Don't

[sage wraith]

So its Not possible to change the uv Tiling?

[surreal ruin]

Remix's materials don't include UV tiling do they?

If not, you'd have to edit the mesh UV's.

[balmy chasm]

Eh? You can export same size

[jade briar]

You can, but finer details will get lost.

[balmy chasm]

He can export double the size or take it as is

[jade briar]

Nope. You'll have to edit the uvs on the original mesh

But mesh replacements don't work

Yet

[sage wraith]

Ah Okey but will it come?

[surreal ruin]

They're working on it

[sage wraith]

Because then i will make my textures smaller And Change later the meshes

[sage wraith]

Ah Nice Okey thx 🙏

[leaden gust]

Hey guys I was following the video guide and I go to the links, but I don't see the option to download what I need from github.

[jade briar]

You have to log into GitHub.

[leaden gust]

ah ok. thx

[cloud crypt]

Fully out of context: right now i am glad that my GPU isnt from gigabyte.
Why?: PCBs are cracking like Crazy right now because Gigabyte used way too soft PCB materials
Whats gigabyte doing: Refuses to warranty them

[jade briar]

I checked my gpu yesterday

Thing is sturdy as fuck

[cloud crypt]

yeah, zotac and asus are fine. only gigabyte has that problem rihgt now

[leaden gust]

probably shoud've asked about what graphics settings I should use b4 starting to play.
what should I use?

[cloud crypt]

try to run the game as administrator

[leaden gust]

alright

[balmy chasm]

From what I've seen they made some structural changes in that part which caused cracking. But they don't have any lines crossing that part of the board either

[cloud crypt]

they have, just because you dont see them doesnt mean theyre not there

the mainproblematic cards are 3080 and 3080ti

[balmy chasm]

Have anyone reported gpu malfunction? PCI lanes are always on the top layer

[cloud crypt]

some 40 series have the same problem

everything explained here

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/gigabyte-gpu-design-details-emerge-about-pcb-cracking

[leaden gust]

ran as admin and still got this. I quit to the menu and resumed from save and atm everything is good.

[cloud crypt]

strange, really strange. For the moment we dont know how to fix that because we somehow cant reproduce that problem. Ive tried it several times but for me it runs without problems

[dusty grove]

Turn off restir

[leaden gust]

It's all good I know this is still pretty early in development albeit with already awesome results.
If there's anything in particular I could help Lookout for or to help in this project let me know.
I have absolutely no coding experience so I can't help there unfortunately.

[cloud crypt]

we always have restrir on and do not have any problems

[leaden gust]

Is that a in game option or the rtx menu?

[cloud crypt]

rtx menu

[dusty grove]

#1103377328530276403 message

This thing shoud be pinned

[cloud crypt]

it shouldnt lol

because it is not the problem

[leaden gust]

Alright. For the moment it's entirely fine but I'll remember to look for that if it happens again

[dusty grove]

If u not dissable restir it will happen again in same place, currently there is no other way around it

[cloud crypt]

that maybe, but still, its only a "for now" solution. We are trying to find out what is happening there.

somehow its mainly happening on older/weaker rtx gpus

[leaden gust]

That's not how it happened for me. It was entirely random. One sec everything is fine and then everything is like the sun. And I tried to replicate by doing the same race and it didn't happen.

[leaden gust]

I have a 3060ti

[tawny elk]

If you use the default rtx conf, does it still happen?

[jade briar]

I have a feeling that the restir issue could be a bug in remix itself.

[dusty grove]

Maybe cuz weaker gpus using lower internal res like 720p?
Or maybe thet cuz 40xx series has a lot of cache ho knows...

[cloud crypt]

cache maybe, but i dont think it has smth to do with resolution

[leaden gust]

I haven't changed any settings is that not default?

[tawny elk]

I believe the bright spots are the result of the path tracer being unable to calculate that point.

[jade briar]

Here's what happens when I look around in reference mode.

[cloud crypt]

Have you installed the new lights yet burrito?

[tawny elk]

If you’re using the rtx conf that uncle and hellraven use, they have tweaks to the denoiser.

[jade briar]

Yes, but I don't see any new lights

[leaden gust]

So it just happened again and turning off restir does make all the white go away and game looks fine.

[leaden gust]

Gotcha

[cloud crypt]

that is strange lol, i defenetly added new ones xD

[tawny elk]

It sounds like the path tracer is unable to calculate those paths and gives up resulting in fireflies.

So the denoiser only gets those bright points to work with and makes everything super bright.

[leaden gust]

Gotcha. I can screen record if it helps any.

[cloud crypt]

maybe because i didnt normalize the lights?

[tawny elk]

No that just tweaks the power output to be in total rather than based on surface area.

[cloud crypt]

ah ok

[tawny elk]

If you can trigger it repeatedly in a spot, do it with reference mode enabled and then disabled.

[leaden gust]

This is what I got.

[cloud crypt]

@jade briar i dont know why they are not working for you

try again @jade briar

[jade briar]

okay

[cloud crypt]

tell me when still not working

[tawny elk]

Can you toggle reference mode on and off as well?

[sage wraith]

So i have this issue too when i enable restrir

But Not with the First Version i used (the files down below your Tutorial Post)

[leaden gust]

I thought I did that in my video. Hold on and I'll get on that

[tawny elk]

Is that with restir enabled or disabled?

[leaden gust]

That was with restir enabled.

[tawny elk]

Can you do it with it disabled? that was posted earlier my b

Last thing I’d suggest checking is if you backup your current rtx conf and then remove everything besides the texture classifications and see if it still happens.

[leaden gust]

Alright I'll check that out later. It's not a big deal quitting to main menu and loading the game seems to fix it for a decent, but it does eventually come back.

[leaden gust]

How do u shift in xbox control?
Can't figure it out for the drag races

[balmy chasm]

Somehow my controller settings are set up weirdly. Check yours too

[leaden gust]

Whenever I try to configure my controls in game nothing happens.

[balmy chasm]

You have to save the profile. Basically go back to main menu after setting it up, so save popup shows up

[leaden gust]

Nothing happens. I try to change a button to something else and the game softlocks and I have to alt+f4

[clever meadow]

nice can you show me your config ?

[sage wraith]

So I’m using the default rtx.cfg out of here. I only disabled restir gl because it brings heavy brightness issues

[spark moon]

Told u they will keep having problem...

[cloud crypt]

Your solution doesnt help either

Not that i dont appreciate your attempt to help

[spark moon]

I didn't said the solution...just showed the issue...u guys don't even wana listen...

[cloud crypt]

Its not the issues because it still happen

[spark moon]

ok god help them...mobile app sucks message dont evensend sometimes

[spark moon]

looks amazing

[cloud crypt]

It also only happens on 30 series. So we think that the issues lies in remix itself

Smth with the denoiser not working right or smth like that

[sage wraith]

What happens with 30 series only?

[cloud crypt]

What GPU u have?

[sage wraith]

4090

[cloud crypt]

Ok, then it does not only affect 30 series

But still. The error seems to be in remix itself. No matter what rtx conf is used Flashbanks still happen on some systems

[sage wraith]

Maybe, but I had this brightness issue not from the beginning

I updated my mod.usda and added some emissive textures out here, and then I had this issue the first time

[tawny elk]

Can you post your rtx conf?

[tawny elk]

I’ve never had it happen 👀

[jade briar]

Could this be a problem introduced with a new update?

[sage wraith]

Tomorrow I will set mz game back to to files out of the tutorial And will Look, if it happens then too, but guess its something in the mod. Usda

Because as i had this issue the first time i replaced Step by step And After i replaced the mod.usda with a newer one, i got this issue

[tawny elk]

None of the recent remix updates touched the lighting system afaik.

[jade briar]

@cloud crypt You off work yet?

[cloud crypt]

Now i have time

@jade briar

[sudden stag]

Hi guys, is there any tutorials on how to install this?

[jade briar]

The thing I talked about yesterday

[cloud crypt]

Headlights

[jade briar]

Traffic vehicles headlights

[cloud crypt]

traffic

[jade briar]

Yes

Yep

[cloud crypt]

do the lights work now?

[jade briar]

I didn't check. I've been so busy annoying mark

[cloud crypt]

xD

[jade briar]

Trying to get glass to work

[cloud crypt]

ah that part

You have to do it for every tint because every tint has its own hash. Like everything

[jade briar]

No just traffic cars

[spark moon]

in ug2 does vanilla lights works for u?

[jade briar]

Thats the least you can do.

I think It'll add a lot of life to the city.

[cloud crypt]

i meant the glass tint. thats what you are working on

[cloud crypt]

no

[jade briar]

Yes glass tint. Well, the first step is to get glass to work in the first place. Even that's not working. But once its done. I'll think about the tints.

[cloud crypt]

who was the lighting expert right here? was it adam? i need to know what a common light temperature for headlights is

[jade briar]

ez

[cloud crypt]

oh ok, yeah thy, dumb as fuck i am XD

[sage wraith]

Hey whats about mods for nfs? For example other carmodels. Will it work or makes it trouble?

[tawny elk]

Blueish tint at 5000k for LEDs

[cloud crypt]

for now they are working, but when we have this project fineshed they will not work anymore

[cloud crypt]

well... i can add lights to the car, but only 1 side wil emit light

[jade briar]

What

[sage wraith]

When this project is finished, i guess All Cars will be replaced with high Poly Models 😂

[cloud crypt]

probably, but the engine cant handle more than 20K ploly per car. currently they have 9K

[cobalt peak]

Upscaled sky textures when

[sage wraith]

Headlights for example will only emit light, when you can see them in the scene

[cloud crypt]

just use badassbaboons hdri sky for now

[cobalt peak]

I play on 8K and the sky still looks aods

aids*

[sage wraith]

That’s ok 👌🏽

[tawny elk]

[cobalt peak]

I did not buy a 3300$ monitor for this+

[tawny elk]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-what-the-fuck-the-fuck-is-this-wth-gif-17571836

[sage wraith]

So then play another game😂

[cobalt peak]

No I have a 3070 Ti any game to come out after 2010 will not run in 8K

Cant even enjoy Battlefield 3 in 8k

[sage wraith]

I allready tried to replace the skybox, but I don’t know how

[tawny elk]

> 8k
> 3070Ti

[cobalt peak]

Become the Top G

[sage wraith]

😂 wrong priority i guess

[cobalt peak]

Yea the 3070 Ti was faster than the 2080 Ti just less vram

I bought a 3070 Ti then I threw the 2080 Ti away

I mean I put it into the trashcan

Never regretted it

[ember cobalt]

lol i played 7 games at 8k on my 3070 ti

very playable, about 3-7 FPS

[tawny elk]

I was talking about using it for RTX remix

[cloud crypt]

@jade briar

[tawny elk]

You're going to want to use something like 1440p with DLSS to get good performance

[cloud crypt]

This game with pathtracing never will run in 8K

[tawny elk]

I finally found a calculator for getting lumens to candela https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/lumen

[jade briar]

So you can't add more than one light to a single mesh?

[cloud crypt]

seems like that

but it works when they are not close together

[tawny elk]

Ah, there's a light grouping function that happens with remix

It might not take the scene scale into consideration?

[cloud crypt]

now its better to see

[tawny elk]

No it's not something set in OV

[cloud crypt]

well, when i move the light more away it works just fine

[tawny elk]

#1103377328530276403 message

Ah, there's a light grouping function that happens with remix

[cloud crypt]

can you turn it off somehow?

[tawny elk]

No idea

[jade briar]

I figured it out the first time you said that.

[tawny elk]

U2's scale being so tiny messes with all these things

[tawny elk]

Me too

[cobalt peak]

Gigachad Roblox ERLC graphics

With minecraft concrete floor

[cloud crypt]

i am only doing lights. Texturing is Burritos job xD

[sage wraith]

Haha so i Play in 5120x1440 And when i set dlss to Quality i get a diashow 😂😂

[cloud crypt]

now its getting strange

just turned it from 1 to 0.5

[jade briar]

Yep. That'd fix it

[cloud crypt]

yeah, thats working good

[jade briar]

That's nice.

[jade briar]

That'd also fix the cars only getting one headlight.

[tawny elk]

I think the scenescale is around 0.06

You can measure the car in OV to get the proper scale

[cloud crypt]

yeah

[jade briar]

For now, just do the civi vehicles

[cloud crypt]

how?

[tawny elk]

The measure tool, its under utilities or something

[cloud crypt]

oh ok thx

4.9cm

[tawny elk]

Yea that's what I mean by the scale is really bad by default

But if you change it to be correct

OV still looks exactly the same

[cloud crypt]

That size would explaine the never shown trailer

[tawny elk]

Trailer?

[cloud crypt]

[sudden stag]

Hi guys, I am having a problem launching the game due to only having a windows 10 OS

[cobalt peak]

No, thats egypt

[tawny elk]

What a throwback

[spark moon]

that was happening with adding light to texture too...

[sudden stag]

I tried it with just normal widescreen script it worked, but when I installed the files after the tutorial it just doesn't start at all

[cloud crypt]

yeah, scale 0.5 fixed it

but i think (since the headlight sprites still get culled) colored headlights still arent possible

or can i set them as anti culling textures?

[jade briar]

You probably missed something. Do it again. Fresh reinstall the game.

[sudden stag]

I've tried it for 5 times and still the same

[jade briar]

Strange.

[sudden stag]

I think its due to having a lower OS than the tutorial has

[jade briar]

Yeah, but I also have windows 10.

[sudden stag]

I have tried it with just widescreen fix and it worked fine

but after I installed and compressed all files from tutorial it doesnt start

If anything, is it possible to copy all of your files and perhaps put it on mega?

I'm really sorry if im being a pain

[jade briar]

The files in the zip are all the same as mine

[cloud crypt]

damn

[spark moon]

thanks....sprite is a emmesive they dont cull

[cloud crypt]

not in underground 2. Thex do get culled as soon you cant see them anymore

[spark moon]

thats not culling ...the way headlights sprite works is when they are far they are not visible only in the case of headlights sprite have seen

better add light to the mesh behind the light

sorry sprite

[cloud crypt]

how do i explain it for you: If i capture the car from the front they get shown in OV
if i capture the car from behind the mesh doesnt exist

they get culled

[spark moon]

yea u are right.. also notice that

this is captured from the behind

[cloud crypt]

yeah

now add that texture to aniti-culling texture and turn on anti culling

[misty pebble]

My question I wanted to ask is: Is there a reason why Mods are being disabled when using the RTX Remix? I didn't know if some modders could make mods that'd work in RTX Remix

[cloud crypt]

im curious now

[cloud crypt]

which mods you mean?

[misty pebble]

Mainly customization mods and cars

[cloud crypt]

well, archies Skyline mod does work

[misty pebble]

Like Customization Plus, Unlimiter with that extra customizations thing

[misty pebble]

Oh nice

[cloud crypt]

unlimiter also works. These mods should work with remix. maybe you want to try a new profile

[misty pebble]

Oh I haven't started with mods yet

[spark moon]

i disabled the sprite...added light to texture in remix working great

[misty pebble]

Just RTX Remix. I just saw you guys talking about mods and possibly disabling it

[misty pebble]

Yo! That is sick!

[cloud crypt]

thats not what i meant. I want to know if the sprites still get shown after adding as anti culling texture when capturing from behind, because i am busy now with adding proper headlights in different variation to the civil cars

new loadingscreen

[jade briar]

Still not the original

Well, I'm gonna go to bed. I hope you'll have the traffic lights sorted out.

[cloud crypt]

nearly

but when you wake up. They will be done

[jade briar]

Nice.

[spark moon]

whats the cone angle u are using for headlights

[cloud crypt]

@safe patrol If you are still awake could you put the traffic car emissives with their albedo into a zip file and send them over? these would actually help us

[cloud crypt]

50 degree

but i will change that

maybe i will do a bit more

i would recommend 60 degree

[sage wraith]

so i made a new mud-street texture

[spark moon]

ok brake lights working now but opposite when i brake it goes off litt when i dont

[cloud crypt]

what did you do?

rain fr only renders in front and back of vehicle and only what, like 3 meters

[spark moon]

added light mat as emmesive

[cloud crypt]

ah ok lol xD

for UG2 it doesnt work. Lights are contsant and brakelights are shaded

[spark moon]

it works

there are 3 textures 1 probably not captures i guess cant find

[cloud crypt]

hm ok

ok, if car gets culled lights stay where they were at last

let me see, maybe setting them as unticulling textures will work

[spark moon]

fixed it

[cloud crypt]

whats bro doing there

uhh... i hate culling

but yeah, they work...

but this traffic car has extreme culling, everytime it moves it gets culled

i hate this one...

[spark moon]

did u added the headlights to player car

[cloud crypt]

no, traffic

[spark moon]

i am having dificulty adding

[spark moon]

are u adding to sprite?

[cloud crypt]

no, to the traffic car itself

and whem a different car passes me and i turn around the same is happening. But thats not as worse than the Taxi car

[tawny elk]

Plate lights

[cloud crypt]

let me guess, you used the fix i found for this xD

[tawny elk]

Nah, I've always had the scale set to allow for multiple lights that close. I wanted to add more light to the back of the car.

[cloud crypt]

yikez, why didnt you shared that knowledge with us

[tawny elk]

Ya'll never asked

[cloud crypt]

i asked several times XD

[spark moon]

?

[tawny elk]

They had the scale set too high to allow for close lights, they kept getting grouped and removed.

The scale should be 0.01 from my testing.

[cloud crypt]

oh ok, good to know

[spark moon]

well the default is 1.0

[tawny elk]

Yea and that makes cars 4cm long

[cloud crypt]

thx adam, now we know what the overbright problem is

[tawny elk]

What do you mean?

[cloud crypt]

set to 0.01 and lights go insane

[tawny elk]

Rip

Also, after digging into the exposure tools in remix I have discovered how AE causes ghosting.

[spark moon]

but i nver changed scale not happened with me

[tawny elk]

AE will ghost when it clips black/underexposed

Which is why the back of a car constantly ghosts

[cloud crypt]

i stay with 0.5, that works fine, car scale is 4.9 cm

[cloud crypt]

i told you that xD

[tawny elk]

It was a theory no?

I proved your theory right in that case

[cloud crypt]

yeah, but that doesnt matter anymore

[spark moon]

so how much needs to be for headlights

[tawny elk]

Uh

[cloud crypt]

0.5 is enough

[spark moon]

in ov

[tawny elk]

Mine are 50,000 intensity and they work well.

Oh

Treat as a point

Doesn't do anything in remix

[cloud crypt]

mine are 25 intensity at maximum for lights and 100 for headlights

[spark moon]

how u slected 2 models

needs to learn alsot

[cloud crypt]

strg and just select

[tawny elk]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(illuminance)#Luminance Here's a scale for intensity by the way. Using the "normalize power" toggle you can create a light to use a reference on that scale. Note that remix has an exposure set at 10,000 by default, so most intensity values will clip

[cloud crypt]

or shift and select

[cloud crypt]

well yeah, but i stay with my way as i mentioned earlier. You can do it your way. (dont get me wrong again here xD)

[tawny elk]

You're good, I'm just putting it all here in case anyone else wants to use it for refence

Since Remix has an ||absurdly|| high default exposure, it's really hard to use real units.

[spark moon]

but we changed the scale in remix...i still not understand properly

[cloud crypt]

its not for the scale, its for selecting multiple objects

[tawny elk]

?

I'm just holding control while clicking on them

[cloud crypt]

thats what i tried to tell him xD

well, i think i will delete the lights for this one specific cab for now

[spark moon]

oh

is this ok....while i drive headlights dont look good

[cloud crypt]

@tawny elk could u disable culling yet? XD

[spark moon]

while moving

while standing

[cloud crypt]

the denoiser does its work, badly

[spark moon]

and dlss...io have to use dlss 2060 super

[cloud crypt]

ouch xD

[spark moon]

denoiser is culprit

in FPP i see no light

scale issue

[tawny elk]

No

[cloud crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/sadgecry-sadge-cry-gif-18423674

[tawny elk]

Ya'll made me figure out this AE ghosting, I spent all my brain cells figuring it out

[cloud crypt]

XD but you didnt need to do that because i already had that theory. Now i feel even more:

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-lonely-sadge-sad-pepe-lonely-pepe-gif-24375295

sry for fucking up your brain cells XD

[teal wolf]

hey guys how do i run this mod

[safe patrol]

Sorry I was away for a bit - the emissives are all in the pack I shared previously. Might have to scroll up a bit for it

[teal wolf]

pls help

[tawny elk]

I'm not sure why the cab is recreating it's lights each frame. Might be not moving smoothly enough for them to be grouped.

[safe patrol]

I'm away from my PC so I can't just re-share it sadly. I'll be back home Friday

[cloud crypt]

Ah ok

[tawny elk]

I'll probably get back to trying to figure that [culling] out like mid july depending off anything comes up.

[safe patrol]

I'd like to go through and adjust the headlight color to more accurately reflect the slightly warmer tone that would be expected on late 90's vehicles in general for all traffic cars.

Back when everything was pretty much just regular incandescent bulbs

So I'll do that when I get back on Friday and upload just the traffic cars for you guys to work with

And while I can probably look that up, Adam if you have an accurate number you want to feed me I wouldn't complain.

[dusty grove]

Try disabling RESTIR.
RESTIR makes image more stable in static, but add ghosting while moving.

[balmy chasm]

@tawny elk Okay. I've seen advice that everyone should work in consistent scene scale. Otherwise merging projects would be tough. Does that mean you always used .01 scene scale which caused all of these sunbright values? As reference, 50k intensity and 0 exposure will result in the super nova brightness just as your previous lights

[cloud crypt]

Yes he did. I used 1 as normal but now switched to 0.5. This works pretty well

[balmy chasm]

Have you tested adding lights with extremely low radius/size instead?

[sudden stag]

Hi guys, anyone here to help. I can't launch the game despite reinstalling the game for atleast 9 times

[sage wraith]

have you installed the remix bridge with "release" in zip name?

can someone tell my, why the container is black? my albedo is red and i allready disabled rough texture ?! in create the container looks fine

[sudden stag]

yep, even the latest one that @cloud crypt gave and still not starting at all

[cloud crypt]

Yes, that didnt work either

[balmy chasm]

Because you have to insert an Albedo map. Drak grey is default base color

[sage wraith]

i did

[balmy chasm]

Check it twice

[sage wraith]

i create it looks fine

[balmy chasm]

It can and will look different

[cloud crypt]

In create it allways will look fine

[balmy chasm]

The thing I'm afraid of is we can loose all the progress once Remix Create release, if we use non default values

[cloud crypt]

I dont think that this will happen
I only changed scene scale value in remix, not ov

[sage wraith]

over "mat_570C7EF44091BC60"
{
over "Shader"
{
asset inputs:diffuse_texture = @./gu-textures/container.dds@ (
customData = {
asset default = @@
}
displayGroup = "Diffuse"
displayName = "Albedo Map"
doc = "The texture specifying the albedo value and the optional opacity value to use in the alpha channel"
hidden = false
)
float inputs:metallic_constant = 0 (
customData = {
float default = 0
dictionary range = {
float max = 1
float min = 0
}
}
displayGroup = "Specular"
displayName = "Metallic Amount"
doc = "Metallic Material"
hidden = false
)
asset inputs:metallic_texture = @./gu-textures/container_metal.dds@ (
colorSpace = "auto"
customData = {
asset default = @@
}
displayGroup = "Specular"
displayName = "Metallic Map"
hidden = false
)
asset inputs:normalmap_texture = @./gu-textures/container_normal.dds@ (
colorSpace = "auto"
customData = {
asset default = @@
}
displayGroup = "Normal"
displayName = "Normal Map"
hidden = false
)
float inputs:reflection_roughness_constant = 0.5 (
customData = {
float default = 0.5
dictionary range = {
float max = 1
float min = 0
}
}
displayGroup = "Specular"
displayName = "Roughness Amount"
doc = "Higher roughness values lead to more blurry reflections"
hidden = false
)
asset inputs:reflectionroughness_texture = @./gu-textures/container_rough.dds@ (
colorSpace = "auto"
customData = {
asset default = @@
}
displayGroup = "Specular"
displayName = "Roughness Map"
hidden = false
)
}
}

thats the code for the container, for me it looks all fine

[balmy chasm]

May be you applied it to the wrong material in OV?

[sage wraith]

i dont think so

its only one mesh

[jade briar]

Double Check your DDS compression formats

[sage wraith]

All done

And all my textures working Fine Only the container is shit

[tawny elk]

50k for an object 10cm in radius and with a 45 degree spread is okay. The radius and angle changes how much light it emits.

[balmy chasm]

You always set Normalize on, so it doesn't matter

[tawny elk]

Remix doesn’t respect that from my testing.

[balmy chasm]

45 angle is quite a thin one though

[tawny elk]

I think mine are at 65 degrees.

I posted it earlier.

[balmy chasm]

And I have noticed the difference with Normilize on and off. Can you test it again with no shape changed light?

[timid prairie]

okay, i'll just drop this and will never return to it

[balmy chasm]

:D

[thorny pawn]

do we still have that issue?

[tawny elk]

I can test it again sure. We’re both talking about in game correct?

[balmy chasm]

You might want to learn some new software, becuase from what you said you just don't have enough tools to give yourself some freedom

[balmy chasm]

Right

[tawny elk]

Weird. It doesn’t do a thing when I toggle it in my game.

Oh it might be from the shape change if you get it working with no shape changes

[cloud crypt]

Ah yes. Here we go again. 0.5= 4.9cm and 0.01= 4cm

So basically both scales are correct to get lights close together without grouping them

[tawny elk]

I mean there's a true scale to be used. We have the car length as reference

Or am I missing something? Scene scale should be linear.

[balmy chasm]

So do you capture scene in .01 scale or just set it in configs after capturing?

[tawny elk]

Set the scene scale in the game to 0.01

You can change previous captures scenescale as well

OV doesn't convey scale so it's weird

Now OV doesn't seem to want to allow for a scale change

[sharp sand]

i know this will be such a foolish question but, do you need an rtx card to run this?

[tawny elk]

RTX remix

[sharp sand]

ye i thought so

[tawny elk]

[cloud crypt]

@jade briar set scenescale in your rtx conf to 0.5. otherwise traffic car headlights wont work

[tawny elk]

Why 0.5 and not 0.01?

[cloud crypt]

because with 0.01 he gets flashbanks like myself

dunno why, but it happens

[tawny elk]

What size radius are your lights?

[cloud crypt]

0.x

[tawny elk]

Weird

[cloud crypt]

every light is below 0

[tawny elk]

At scene scale 0.5, an RX7 is 9.8cm long

[cloud crypt]

at 0.5 my cars are 4.9cm long

[tawny elk]

Hotwheels Underground

[cloud crypt]

some a bit longer some a bit shorter

[cloud crypt]

somehow our scene scales behave really different

[tawny elk]

Try turning the exposure down from 10 to like 5 and see if it still flash bangs.

[cloud crypt]

then the streetlights are not bright enough, already tested it.

i mean burrito can try to tune it himself

but for me it handles really weird

[balmy chasm]

10 exposure where?

[tawny elk]

In the tonemapper

[cloud crypt]

tonemapper

[balmy chasm]

You use 10 exposure?

[cloud crypt]

yes

[tawny elk]

They did yes

[cloud crypt]

works fine

[balmy chasm]

Who cares...

[sage wraith]

And now the backlights too 🥰

[cloud crypt]

he has them already

[sage wraith]

But to dark I guess 🧐

[cloud crypt]

they are only a bit weak to get them displayed in ov

[tawny elk]

Too bright and they look odd

[cloud crypt]

here

[sage wraith]

so it isn’t possible that they emit the surroundings ?

[tawny elk]

They do

[cloud crypt]

i think emisseves work best for backlights

[tawny elk]

I like to use both since emisseves don't "throw" light in a direction

[cloud crypt]

yeah. so emissive for the glow and normal lights for illumination

[jade briar]

well, idk what you did, but traffic cars don't have lights, and the particles are fucked up.

Even the hills area doesn't have any lights.

@cloud crypt

Okay I fixed it

But

There's only one headlight on most cars.

Okay I changed the scene scale, but you didn't get all cars.

bruh

[cloud crypt]

thatts why i said disable the sprites

[jade briar]

Yeah but how did you fuck them up

They have no textures.

[cloud crypt]

i dnt do anything lol

[jade briar]

Strange.

Tyre smoke is also messed up.

[cloud crypt]

for me everything works fine

i dont know how you put them together

[jade briar]

strange. I think the paths are missing. Because the main meny textures that you added are also missing.

[cloud crypt]

all path are there in my mod.usda

[jade briar]

So I had to remove and then re add your lights usd.

After that things are messed up.

[cloud crypt]

yeah, then you did smth really wrong there

[jade briar]

I've also found out that my road textures are too damn dark. Gotta lighten all of them up.

[jade briar]

probably.

[cloud crypt]

what you should have done is merging the mod usdas from me

not with yours, but the mod.usdas i gave you

[jade briar]

Yeah that's what I did.

[cloud crypt]

you didnt

[cloud crypt]

wait, i still have the files from you... i will do it for you

[jade briar]

okay. What's this?

[cloud crypt]

your mod_lights merged with my new lights

[jade briar]

huh.Lets see

[cloud crypt]

oh and you are right. i missed 2 traffic cars. but the one taxi cab i will leave out for the moment

because it has really ugly culling problems

everything working for me

[jade briar]

Strange.

[cloud crypt]

ah, maybe because of the added lights to the textures??

[jade briar]

I think it was an error on my end.

I checked in ov create.

[balmy chasm]

What was the error after all?

[jade briar]

@tawny elk Can you at least do something about the lod distances?

[jade briar]

Nope, I didn't fix it.

It is very strange.

[tawny elk]

Maybe. I have the memory address for that marked down, not sure how to implement to you guys.

[cloud crypt]

i have to do smth about the low illumination of these lights. They are so far away from each other

[jade briar]

Maybe headlights on player cars will help.

[cloud crypt]

yeah xD

[jade briar]

Also make the traffic headlights brighter, I guess.

[cloud crypt]

butb still, smth seems to be broken on your mod usda

[tawny elk]

I tried that and it doesn't help as much as you'd hope unless you stop moving.

If we could shape the light more with something like an IES file, we'd be able to get it to look a lot better.

[jade briar]

hmmmm

[cloud crypt]

and adam, thats what burritos tonemapping is

i still use his exposure but i cahned the other values a bit

now it is a bit better

[balmy chasm]

You said 10 .-.

[cloud crypt]

yeah. i use 10 on my own

but he uses ae

[jade briar]

Wellllllllllllllllll

I fixed it

My own mod file was messed up

[balmy chasm]

What about adding 'moon light' finally. Some dim soften directional light

[cloud crypt]

which cause this

[jade briar]

NEVERMIND

[jade briar]

Not for me.

[balmy chasm]

First guess - missing texture path

[jade briar]

Yes.

But from where

[balmy chasm]

From captures folder

[jade briar]

nahh

I didn't replace that asset

So it should just use the texture that the game gives out.

[balmy chasm]

You merged mod.usda where it could be replaced

[jade briar]

I think hallraven accidentally replaced something

Or maybe messed up a material.

[cloud crypt]

this area is pretty bright xD

[balmy chasm]

Wow, snowy hills

[balmy chasm]

I believe nothing renders over 3 mips

[cloud crypt]

0 mips

3mips

6mips

you can see that 3 and 0 is really blurry on the textures. 6 works best and everything over 6 will add to much blacklevel

and if you dont like 10 exposure 5 works also pretty well

[jade briar]

Yeah my mod file was messed up pretty bad.

Deleting all the unused materials

idk how they became a part of the mod.

[cloud crypt]

damn xD

[jade briar]

uh oh

man

[cloud crypt]

messed up again

shall i send you both of your mod usdas again?

@jade briar if you still want to use ae could u use these settings instead?

[jade briar]

okay

[sage wraith]

Thats what Said few times now…

[balmy chasm]

Oh yeah. Smoke from under the tires(especially on offroad surfaces) causes so much lags. Any fix?

[jade briar]

Not really, no.

[cloud crypt]

its lagging as hell because for each particle new bounces get calculated

[balmy chasm]

I know. May be a way to disable it

[cloud crypt]

it would be enough if you reduce max bounces to 4

[balmy chasm]

I'm on 4 already

[thorny pawn]

did we ever figure something out on how to prevent the headlight culling?

[jade briar]

nooooooope

[trail quail]

Hey uncle is your game ok

[cloud crypt]

adding the headlight to to trunk mesh would help. but then they get culled when switching cams

[thorny pawn]

i can give this a try tonight and see if i can find a memory address for the headlight culling

been a while since i hacked assembly but it's worth a shot

[jade briar]

I hope it is.

[thorny pawn]

btw random idea, it's not a perfect solution but we could attach headlights to the neon strips at the bottom, better than attaching to trunk etc. since it's always visible + it's used in all cars

downside is it will force you to use neon to have headlights, but i think if all else fails this might be a decent workaround

[cloud crypt]

that way it would be possible to have different headlight colors too i think

[thorny pawn]

or maybe we can do some shenenigangs by replacing the shadow texture on the floor, prevent drawing it and instead just use it as a marker for the cars position in space

[thorny pawn]

yep, could actually be sweet

[cloud crypt]

because every color has its own mesh

[thorny pawn]

did not know that 😄 thats nice

[cloud crypt]

BUT: we would need to do it for every car

so basically we would have to start with the starter cars

[tawny elk]

That give me an idea

[thorny pawn]

thats why i write my random ideas c: i haven't been able to contribute much yet, but i really hope i can get some ideas going

i feel bad when i just jump in when i notice something thats wrong or could be better but i do have some insight into how a lot of that stuff works so i try to help where i can without being annoying 😄

me backseating

[jade briar]

I don't think using neon or shadow would work

Both of them stick to the ground

And don't rotate

So if the car jumps

The lights will be left behind

[cloud crypt]

youre wrong here

the actual neon bars are sticked to the car

only shadow is sticked to ground

[jade briar]

Yeah but the neon bars aren't always visible

The will get removed as soon as the camera goes above the car

[ornate current]

Well , that work but fps its a problem

[cloud crypt]

turn on dlss

[ornate current]

hm,how

[cloud crypt]

alt + x

[dusty grove]

actually is there any way to improve cpu performance? I have 6800k 4.1ghz and in some races i get drops to 15fps, if i try to disable crash fix in widescreenfix too use only one core, fps improves but game crashes.

[cloud crypt]

crash fix should stay one and only 1 cpu core should also be on

and tgry dlss perf ultra perf mode

and use this dxvk-remix build

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/actions/runs/5337524372

because in the latest builds a multicore performance fix is already implemented

[thorny pawn]

what did you cook up 👀

[tawny elk]

Just some changes to which mesh I refence on the car for the on vehicle lights.

[safe patrol]

I still think the hood would be a good option because it doesn't get culled...if it weren't for the fact that there's so many alternate hoods we'd have to rig up.

[ember cobalt]

afaik yes

[thorny pawn]

anyone have a mod.usda with headlights handy? i'm on the headlight culling thingy

[cloud crypt]

nah, only for trafiic cars, adam has one for the rx7

[sage wraith]

But for Player car isnt tintable then Right ?

[thorny pawn]

mhm, when i attach a light to this mesh it doesn't get culled for me, am i missing something?

or is that known and we're trying to make a general replacement for all headlights using the "glare" billboard effect and we want to prevent that one from getting culled?

[tawny elk]

It depends on the car on what gets culled on the front.

Since the game doesn’t have backface culling, what does get culled in the camera frustum was set by hand.

[jade briar]

Man I feel like quitting this.

[elfin beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/too-late-gif-23470987

[jade briar]

no

[elfin beacon]

yes

[thorny pawn]

another idea i had is maybe we can mod the headlights of cars using model swaps to make them bigger.... so big that they never get culled, depending on how the game is coded this may work

but i have 0 clue on how to do that, just know that there are car mods for NFSU2

[sage wraith]

Model replacement arent working yet (with Remix)

[thorny pawn]

I meant in the base game 🙂 replacing meshes with remix won't do anything about the culling

[sage wraith]

ah ok but then you Need car mods, which are Complete tunable etc.

[cloud crypt]

why

[hearty delta]

toolkit release halt lesgo

[jade briar]

The fucking usd man

After your last update. It has been full of issues.

[cloud crypt]

you fucked it up youself, dont blame me

because for me everything works fine with the new lights

and i asked if i should send you both files...
and i am asking again. Shall i send you both working files?

[severe solstice]

💀

[hearty delta]

nfsug2remix drama?

[cloud crypt]

nvm, i just send them @jade briar

[sage wraith]

The mod_lights has all your lightsources included?

[cloud crypt]

yes

and some texture replacements

[sage wraith]

And the mod.usda can connect with it? Or do I need to connect them?

[cloud crypt]

they are already connected

[sage wraith]

So copy all code in one file

[cloud crypt]

no

[sage wraith]

Ah Nice that was I thing I wanted to ask ^^ if it is possible to seperate all changes^^

[cloud crypt]

burritos mod.usda is connected with my mod_lights.usda

[sage wraith]

Ok so when I create a gu_mod.usda with only my textures, I can connect them with yours too?

[cloud crypt]

should be possible. i can edit the mod_lights for you so that no texture are required for it

[sage wraith]

That would be cool, because then it’s a modular build and if someone don’t what new textures for example, he can only delete the texture.Usda

[cloud crypt]

yep

[sage wraith]

And when you brings a update with new lights, i can update it, without adding all mz textures again

[cloud crypt]

here it is

[sage wraith]

Then I will create a new gu_mod.usda where only my textures are included 😊

[sage wraith]

Nice thx 🙏

So I’m it are only lights now right?

[cloud crypt]

yeah, only lights now

[sage wraith]

Do I need a main file named mod.usda?

[cloud crypt]

yes

[sage wraith]

Where I implement all pathes to mod_lights and mod_textures
