Half-Life 2

[halcyon current]

yeah i think i did that

the game seems to launch fine

would it be worth trying with remix 0.5?

[shy gazelle]

Hmm, did you install like this? #1103495588374401115 message

[halcyon current]

ohhh hang on

i think i know what i messed up

i copied the entire half life 2 game folder into portal prelude

instead of doing just the hl2 folder

[shy gazelle]

Ahhh, yeah just the lil hl2 one

[halcyon current]

ye, im a dumbass lmao

shoulda checked the screenshots 😂

[halcyon current]

one more thing tho, how do i get the skybox working?

for some reason it just shows black

and some parts of the game dont render properly in certain places (maybe some culling issues?)

[halcyon current]

yeah after testing a bit more there are some serious culling issues for me

most of the lights dissapear and reappear and the ground doesnt seem to be visible

[shy gazelle]

I’d send an rtx.conf if I had one, but I’ve uninstalled hl2 rtx

There might be a decal texture on the ground that’s making it disappear

[regal sphinx]

here is my rtx.conf

it should have most of hl2's textures tagged and auto skybox detection is on

let me know if that is not the case, i havent touched it in a bit

[halcyon current]

not sure if that works either, the game still doesnt render properly

i'll try reinstalling portal prelude and half life 2 just to make sure I didn't miss anything

[halcyon current]

still shows up the exact same, even with a clean reinstall

[shy gazelle]

Huh, I just reinstalled it and mine actually looks just like yours

Oh wait, strike that, after using CR's rtx.conf it's fixed

Must've not had auto-sky detect on

[plucky coral]

How do you turn on auto sky detect? Do you need the ominiverse application to edit or is it in the remix settings?

[tiny gust]

Game setup Parameters tuning sky settings

[plucky coral]

Okay thx

[plucky coral]

Lighting seems to be my only issue right now,, flickers whenever I turn.... like it gets brighter and dimmer when it shouldnt

[shell ridge]

hi my water even with the patch does not appear can anyone help

[shell ridge]

never mind i fixed it bu making the water not be ignored

[regal sphinx]

did we ever find a fix for RR being super blurry?
(left RR on, right RR off)

i have my DLSS preset set to E iirc and gmod doesnt seem to exhibit this issue as badly, same remix version as well

well nevermind i guess, i copied my gmod's rtx.conf and it seems fine now

[sinful frigate]

enable stochastic alpha blending under advanced alpha blending options

for some reason toggling RR unticks that box every time

[regal sphinx]

maybe it's fixed in the master builds on github?

im still using the portal rtx remix build

[sinful frigate]

nope, I'm using latest stuff and still have that issue

[worldly heath]

It'd be cool if I could get my hands on hl2 RTX and prepare a AMD/Steam Deck mod for the launch

[regal sphinx]

if you want to mess with it now before the official release, follow the instructions i replied to

while also using this rtx.conf file

[worldly heath]

Thanks 👍

[regal sphinx]

since portal prelude rtx's engine has stable hashes, i was able to add a light to the gravity gun

[regal sphinx]

thought this was funny lol, i imported the remix capture back as a miniature model ingame

[shy gazelle]

I almost said I want to try this with Mmod, but realized that'd be a complete waste of time - I'm forgetting how powerful the toolkit is, I'm not imagining big enough

[shy gazelle]

Interesting - in Portal RTX, half life 2 eyes render perfectly like in the vanilla game

[tiny gust]

yeah since a long time

It was fixed engine side

Alot of engine side fixes

Were done to make portal rtx happen

[worldly heath]

Glass people

[shy gazelle]

I remember the eyes being fixed, but they were weirdly stretched out or didn't look just right

Like these in gmod

[worldly heath]

Kind of fits Gman

[tiny gust]

Its only fixed in portal rtx

[past thorn]

bro why the characters so oily

[royal scroll]

Because the roughness value is set to 0

They'd need some roughness maps created for them for all the individual pieces to look correct 🙂

[modern valley]

,my official remix of the hl2 gregori remix

[regal sphinx]

lmao

[past thorn]

miami

[grand comet]

Anyone know what may cause hl2/hl1 source to boot up on a black/dead space screen?

[regal sphinx]

the boot video probably

try -novid for your launch properties

[grand comet]

I did that, all that shows up is a black menu screen, however everything is interactable still

I'll get logs when I get home

[regal sphinx]

try running the games via portal prelude rtx as shown here ^, its engine has a lot of fixes for source

[grand comet]

Alright 👍

[past thorn]

true

[solemn thistle]

I realized this meme was 2 years old bruh.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLjBBAzh4lg

[shy gazelle]

Released an entire game PBR pack for Half Life 2 🙂 https://www.moddb.com/mods/half-life-2-rtx-pbr-assets-not-official-rtx-mod

[grand comet]

Oh cool

Very nice

[outer oriole]

whoa

25 gigs

shouldnt have guessed otherwise

[grand comet]

3 hours later

[shy gazelle]

LOL I'm so sorry it's so big, thanks for trying out the mod!

[grand comet]

nah its worth the space

half life 2 was my childhood I need something to hold me off while I wait for the official one fr and this looks fire

wait are eyes fixed?

[grand comet]

omg

[grand comet]

well this is interesting

[drowsy sorrel]

Can u use this in gmod

[regal sphinx]

yes as long as hl2 has the same texture hashes

[past thorn]

The textures are alright

But the citizens are so shiny and the lights in the hal life 2 chapters are still bugged

[shy gazelle]

It's just meant as texture pack, I've done zero adjustments lighting/the campaign. This also isn't for the chapters.

[regal sphinx]

since none of the textures are manually authored, there is no way for everything to actually look correct in PBR standards for that material/object. As good as PBRIfy is, its not going to nail correct material properties as manual labor can

[shell ridge]

the pbr pack for hl2 isnt working all the textures are just blury

[shy gazelle]

I updated the install instructions today for them, did you see the new stuff with running the game with portal rtx?

[shell ridge]

no just hl2

[shy gazelle]

Ahh my apologies, I updated the instructions this afternoon - there's a new way to install the hl2 pbr mod

Those new instructions should get them up and running

[grand comet]

Ohhhhhh

[shy gazelle]

LOL I thought half life 2 could run with remix alone, but it looks like it still needs to be run through portal rtx

[civic plume]

this is a good distraction until actual hl2 rtx haha

[prime sleet]

lol it turned the metal pipe into like concrete

[civic plume]

some of the PBR materials need tweaking, mostly looks decent for just being AI lol

[last fog]

PBRify is receiving an update now too that should help a bit with that, but it won't be enough to fix that entirely

things like that 100% need some manual work

you can definitely use it as a base to work on though

[rustic perch]

i followed your guide and im getting er rors

[worldly heath]

I hate that error

[shy gazelle]

I’ve never seen that error before. What’s your gpu? Are you able to play regular portal rtx?

[plucky coral]

Is a 2060 super enough or will it run like shit, asking for a friend

[uncut furnace]

it runs at 20-30fps at ultra perfomance dlss

[grand comet]

will most likely run awful

[worldly heath]

Nothing can be worse than RDNA 2

With dlss ultra performance, it should hit 60fps

I'd recommend medium settings or setting bounces to 1

[sacred tide]

Either it runs awful or it looks awful, you choose

Choose your deception

[worldly heath]

You guys got DLSS, it can't be that bad

[uncut furnace]

looks so pretty

[worldly heath]

Looks like source 2

Source 1 will never die

[sand monolith]

hello,some one know why the ui of the game have this squares?

[grand comet]

the game does that with remix

no fixes as of right now as far as i'm aware

[regal sphinx]

hm? run the game with the portal rtx/prelude rtx branch, it does not have these issues.
(click the message i replied to for instructions)^^^

[grand comet]

forgot to mention this^

most of these issues don't happen if you run hl2 within portal rtx

[normal minnow]

been having problems getting the game to launch using the instructions on moddb

There's also conflicting steps in the instructions between moddb's remix page for the game, and the PBR mod's

[normal minnow]

I re-did the installation following these steps and while the game launches now... it also does this

oh it was the skybox thing

nvm

[regal sphinx]

^

[normal minnow]

That's what I tried originally but the game wouldn't launch at all

[regal sphinx]

make sure you dont have an autoexec.cfg in your hl2/cfg/
also try using the rtx.conf i replied to

[pine zephyr]

does any one know how to fix this

[shy gazelle]

Are you running the game through portal rtx? #1103495588374401115 message

[pine zephyr]

i saw a yt tut saying how to and thats what i did

[shy gazelle]

Which tutorial? You have to copy the hl2 folder inside Half Life 2 and paste it into the Portal RTX game directory

And then launch portal rtx with "-game hl2"

[pine zephyr]

okay ill try that

and do u want me to send the link of the tut in the discord?

[shy gazelle]

Yeah, kinda curious if the tutorials accurate haha

[pine zephyr]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb9Rn0o4oho

its from 4 months ago lmao

[shy gazelle]

Ahh, it looks like it has a few more extra steps. It may have been accurate at the time, but now it's as simple as putting the hl2 folder from half life 2 into portal rtx, with launch option of -game hl2

[grand comet]

"(Have to own half life 2)"

Always gets me when someone puts that in a tutorial

Because like

Yeah we own the game that's why we're moddin

[pine zephyr]

would famliy share work?

cus that how i have it

[grand comet]

You can't move files with family share iirc I could be wrong

[pine zephyr]

yea u can i did it alot lmao

[grand comet]

Wild

Try it ig

[last fog]

you can use it like that, yes

HL2 also happens to be DRM free on Steam once installed

[pine zephyr]

okay

progress.

but still

its not doing the do

[last fog]

you used Portal RTX like the directions said?

[pine zephyr]

yep

now this

dont like that tbh\

[tiny gust]

@pine zephyr what version remix are you using?

[pine zephyr]

im using 2024.3.1

[tiny gust]

oh you are running it through the toolset huh

hmmmm

wait what

you dont have to run it through the toolset

run it through steam directly

[pine zephyr]

i wasnt lmao that js a somthing thats happing on the side

[tiny gust]

idk why the bridge crashed

whats your specs?

[pine zephyr]

4090 i9 14900k 64 gigs of ram

so not the problem

[tiny gust]

ah

hmm

does portal rtx run into the same issues?

[pine zephyr]

no i can run portal rtx fine

i think lmao

[tiny gust]

hmmmmmmmm

try verifying the game files
i really dont know what went wrong especially that bridge errors are so damn vague

[shy gazelle]

Yeah try verifying integrity of files for portal rtx and half life 2 because that last tutorial had too much file swip swapping, and then try moving the hl2 folder over again when it's all done

[pine zephyr]

okay

portal rtx is stuck stoping

[shy gazelle]

ayy we have the same specs

[pine zephyr]

nice

[shy gazelle]

try ending through task manager

[pine zephyr]

i alr did

[grand comet]

hey pooks

i got it working

[shy gazelle]

Nice

[grand comet]

i mean one time but yk

still

[modern valley]

trying to make a pbr pack that stays with the vanilla albedo maps, very wip

[vagrant whale]

GMOD 9, my god

[modern valley]

hayo, does anyone here have a working rtx version of half life 2 to help me out on testing a mod?

[shy gazelle]

Meeee!

[modern valley]

wooo

uh

for whatever reason there's a timer on my file X3

[modern valley]

https://www.moddb.com/games/garrys-mod-10/downloads/default-pbr-by-gumball

this if you could try out when the timer is over 👉👈

[shy gazelle]

Absolutely! It’s bedtime for me, but when I wake up it’s the first thing I’ll do - it looks great!

[modern valley]

thank you!

[regal sphinx]

i can go ahead and try this

seems to work well in prelude RTX's engine

emissive particles looks nice too

[modern valley]

thank you!

now to finish up the spawnmenu

[drowsy sorrel]

I wonder if the hl2 rtx devs will be able to fix the washed out low res look of distant objects

Like it just looks weird

Y’know what I mean?

[modern valley]

the wires?

[regal sphinx]

nah i think he means the remapped source fog to volumetric fog

also with so much temporal upscaling / denoising its hardly going to look sharp unless you using quality+ DLSS on a high enough resolution

[drowsy sorrel]

The washed out buildings and fog

It’s so, ugly idk how to explain it

Idk how to pin point it

[modern valley]

oh

those buildings back there have like super low res textures

even in the normal game

[drowsy sorrel]

Yes ik

[regal sphinx]

you're talking about this correct?

[drowsy sorrel]

Nah just the entire scene

It just looks, ugly I can’t explain it

A type of ugly I’ve never seen

[grand comet]

You could always edit the scene to look good

[drowsy sorrel]

Yes ik

[grand comet]

[modern valley]

can you edit fog?

it would be annoying having to change it for every level

[regal sphinx]

as i said the source fog gets remapped into volumetric fog and that's 90% of what makes everything look washed out on source maps

[grand comet]

Turning off volumetric fog

[regal sphinx]

i tried doing fog editing with tf2 rtx and its really buggy

[modern valley]

shuckles

[drowsy sorrel]

@modern valley can u turn off volumetric fog and see how the scene looks

[regal sphinx]

here ill boot up that same map without volumetric fog

[drowsy sorrel]

And the far details always look so like, tiny and temporary unstable, prob to do with it being like dlss performance

Idk how to explain it

[modern valley]

i mean tbh the 3D skybox isn't there to help it either so it's gonna look worse

[regal sphinx]

yes most of that blurry stuff i circled earlier is temporal artifacts

[drowsy sorrel]

Ya still looks shit but wow looks wayyyyy better

[modern valley]

i like the foggy one more imo

[drowsy sorrel]

Try take a screenshot of the game in dlss quality

And native res

[modern valley]

i wonder

could it just be bloom?

[drowsy sorrel]

Ya in the og image everything looks very very washed out

[grand comet]

This is what I like

Volumetric fog is a bane

When not properly handled

[drowsy sorrel]

Can u look at the image without that weird rainbow filter

Forgot the name

But on like the sides of the images

[modern valley]

no

i stand with chromatic aberration X3

[shy gazelle]

It looks great! 🙂

[regal sphinx]

i only like chromatic abberation when its simulated properly, ie: a camera lens

having it as a post effect without any kind of distortion or lens properties always looks weird

[regal sphinx]

native res

native res

[drowsy sorrel]

It looks nice but idk it just, feels weird in rtx remix

[past thorn]

i predicted this would come out 😱

[modern valley]

it's just a poc rn to see if it works with hl2

[outer oriole]

id lick that sawblade

[grand comet]

"I'd get tetanus that shit looks so good"

[outer oriole]

[grand comet]

Oh God the yummy emoji exists outside of lemomeme

The cuese

[wise jay]

how do i play this?

if io can

[grand comet]

this is what i get. Its very buggy and rtx only really works in d1_canals_01

and i get this funky missing texture

sorry for the low qual but yk the og video was 400mb

[regal sphinx]

^@grand comet

[grand comet]

did that, same thing

[regal sphinx]

did you use the provided rtx.conf on the moddb page?

your game looks like its using the autogen one

[grand comet]

theres a moddb page?

ill check that out

[grand comet]

but 25 gigs? idfk if im in the right place but the only one i can find is the pbr assets

[regal sphinx]

try using this one

[grand comet]

idk if i need the 25 gigs of textures. do i need the textures?

this looks pretty cool tho

font is messed up

[royal scroll]

Known source engine issue

[regal sphinx]

this shouldnt be happening in the portal prelude rtx engine

[regal sphinx]

its mostly up to user preference, those AI PBR textures definitely help make materials look slightly better but its best to wait for the official release

[modern valley]

just a heads up for the hl2 rtx team, Gordon's 3rd person model is meant to be a Chrome statue

[past thorn]

It would be cool if they make a Gordon freeman model so they can use it for a shadow

Instead of just statue

[grand comet]

True

[clear bobcat]

since hunt down the freeman is built off hl2 would it work

[royal scroll]

I believe they used a much newer version of the engine

[clear bobcat]

oh fair

[royal scroll]

Yeah it runs on Source 2013

So probably not compatible I'd guess?

Source games after L4D1 don't have fixed function

[clear bobcat]

yeah it just crashes

that sucks

[royal scroll]

Did you mean to say "It sucks" ? X)

[clear bobcat]

thats true it does

[royal scroll]

Haha

[clear bobcat]

but i still thought it would be funny to get rtx working

[royal scroll]

It barely works as is, would be a miracle to add rtx to it!

[clear bobcat]

i mean it does launch but it crashes on the loading screen

[royal scroll]

Didn't that guy scam his way into Ubisoft or something afterwards

[clear bobcat]

wouldnt surprise me

[regal sphinx]

source 2013 is compatible, its not based off the l4d/alienswarm branch

2013 is based off the orangebox engine and it still has dxlevel controls

you most likely need to use the same patches for gmod

[royal scroll]

Ooooooh! Well then, you may get to hunt some freemen after all XD

[regal sphinx]

i dont own the game unfortunately

but i know sdk 2013 itself works

[royal scroll]

UNfortunately?

I'd consider yourself lucky

[clear bobcat]

i’ll try that

[clear bobcat]

how do i do the patches?

[regal sphinx]

follow xenthio's video tutorial

https://youtu.be/JeMrlemVSl8

minus the actual gmod addons/lua edits

it mostly requires patching engine dlls

[clear bobcat]

oh ok

i remember seeing that a while back

[regal sphinx]

this is also a long shot but since portal/prelude rtx are also sdk 2013 based, you could try moving the hdtf folder to it and running the game with -game <whatever the game folder name is>

[clear bobcat]

oh good idea

i’ll try patching first

and then that

[clear bobcat]

LETS GO

[regal sphinx]

lol

[clear bobcat]

its not working well but its working

[regal sphinx]

what does that mean

video cutscenes probably dont work for sure

[clear bobcat]

here ill send a screen shot

also its like 5 fps

[royal scroll]

Odd lookin'

[regal sphinx]

definitely path traced

looks like the gamefog is being remapped

[royal scroll]

Looks like no materials are rendering but the volumetric fog is there

[regal sphinx]

i don't think its materials

[clear bobcat]

also my knife appears but not my hand

[regal sphinx]

i think hdtf uses hdr only maps which remix doesnt like

[clear bobcat]

i can disable hdr

[regal sphinx]

so no map lights wont spawn

[royal scroll]

Yeah they did use a loooot of those

[regal sphinx]

you'll most likely have to reload the map/game

also if you're using the gmod launch options, hdr shouldn't be on

[clear bobcat]

textures do seem to be working

[regal sphinx]

make sure you're using both the rtx.conf and launch options xenthio provided if not already

[royal scroll]

It's most likely heavily dependant on which material the surface uses

There's probably some surfaces around that don't rely on the cubemapping at all and those should be fine

[clear bobcat]

i am

[regal sphinx]

once again it's not a texture issue

remix will already ignore any cubemaps or normal maps and display the albedo (color texture)

[clear bobcat]

and i have the dxvk conf file

d3d9.shaderModel = 0 right

[regal sphinx]

yeah you're good

do you see any lights in the map?

[clear bobcat]

no

[regal sphinx]

that last pic u sent had some kind of illumination

[clear bobcat]

also my console is spamming CMaterial::DrawElements: No bound shader

[regal sphinx]

probably a particle with no fixed function fallback

[royal scroll]

Don't pay attention to the console in HDTF

[regal sphinx]

99% of the time that's what the error is

[royal scroll]

That's just how the game is

It literally constantly spams errors

[clear bobcat]

wait lights are working

[regal sphinx]

i get the nature of the game but that error shows in any source game running in remix

[clear bobcat]

also is it ok that im using the owf_staging_prep build

[regal sphinx]

where and what kind if you know

[clear bobcat]

im here

here let me get a screenshot

i think i was using the wrong rtx.conf file

you know what i should prob be doing this in windows

[regal sphinx]

nah windows wont change anything here

[clear bobcat]

it’s still good to try

[regal sphinx]

the map is being illuminated by the skybox because the detail texture on the wall is making it transparent

you need to ignore those textures in the runtime so you dont have random holes like that

also helps performance

[clear bobcat]

will do

also do u know why my hand won’t appear

like do i have to put a setting somewhere

[regal sphinx]

model might not have a fixed function fallback, or it might be rendering on a different buffer that remix cant see

this seems game specific though

[clear bobcat]

the weird thing is that my gun dissapears but the knife doesnt

[regal sphinx]

btw when you disable hdr, reload the map, and open the hdr settings again, is it set back to on?

[clear bobcat]

actually idk if i did disable it

[regal sphinx]

i dont think this game has working lights, the skybox doesn't count

[clear bobcat]

bc the only hdr setting was hdr tonemapping

[regal sphinx]

oh it might be forced on in this build of source

maybe i will buy hdtf and tinker

[clear bobcat]

tbh if u play the owf_staging_prep build its a somewhat decent game

[regal sphinx]

does mat_hdr_level 0 do anything in the console

its supposed to turn it off HDR in games where its allowed to

[clear bobcat]

i would try but the game just crashed lmao

[clear bobcat]

its not a command

[regal sphinx]

welp this engine is probably a hybrid between SDK 2013 ans alien swarm then lmao

[clear bobcat]

i doubt this is gonna work

im just gonna remove rtx now

it was worth a shot

[regal sphinx]

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Hunt_Down_the_Freeman

its definitely a modded SDK 2013 build of source

it can probably work with remix if all the maps were recompiled without HDR support

but that would be fun for no one

[night turtle]

is there a rtx.conf for hl2

I lost my old one

[night turtle]

nevermind xd I forgot the pinned messages

uhhh

xd

[prime sleet]

prolly detail texture that needs to be marked as ignore

[night turtle]

cant select this things

[past thorn]

this thing is like a coin flip

sometimes you get it sometimes you don't

50/50

[half dove]

anyone got any idea

[shy gazelle]

If you're making a mod, don't make the Half Life 2 game directory be the mods directory

the whitespace in the file path is the "Half-Life 2", the space between Life and 2

[half dove]

alr thanks

[maiden pebble]

i cant capture scene

never mind idk what i did

[left plank]

Hey guys, I got it working after trying to get it to work for months, but it just lags. a bit too much. In Portal RTX i'm getting 40-50 fps and here i'm getting 1 fps and it crashes. Can anyone help me?
EDIT: I fixed it but everything is invisible

Like the world is invsible but the entities arent'

and for whatever reason once I tried to fix it everything turned mat_fullbright 1

[halcyon current]

try using one of the rtx.conf files in the pins

should have most of the textures tagged

[regal sphinx]

also as said many times in this chat, run hl2 through portal/prelude rtx's engine instead of hl2 itself

^

[junior quest]

so i did same as told here, but when i click new game it does not do anything ? may i get help ^^ please wanna try it out so badly

[grand comet]

Did you overwrite? What exactly happens for it to fail

[rigid tusk]

can someone help me, when i launch the game theres no menu options, its just the backround. please

heres a photo if needed

[grand comet]

try putting the hl2 folder into the portalrtx folder and make the launch options "-game hl2"

[rigid tusk]

i did, i followed the instructions on the page and i was able to launch it for a while, but after my 3rd time booting it up it just disappeared

[grand comet]

interesting

@regal sphinx any ideas

[rigid tusk]

nvm i got it

i just reset my settings

but now i have this bug where all the lighting comes from the skybox?

[regal sphinx]

i assume culling issues? either patch the game with blueamulets patcher in #1116089843479498782 or use the portal prelude rtx engine to run the game

[rigid tusk]

ok

now i cant even bring up the rtx menu

[rigid tusk]

i put it in the portal prelude RTX engine and now its dark

[regal sphinx]

very cursed, it shouldnt be doing that, maybe delete your rtx.conf so you get a fresh one?

have you also tried running the game without the enhanced assets?

[rigid tusk]

ill try

[rigid tusk]

well I've walked around a little bit but when i look in a certain direction the lighting comes back, so it might be an occlusion problem

[regal sphinx]

you shouldnt be having those issues with portal rtx or prelude rtx

[rigid tusk]

i dont know what it is anymore, theres also some missing textures now which werent there in portal with rtx.

and some models of lights are just pure red

and now certain props start summoning the darkness if interacted with in certain ways

[regal sphinx]

you sure you dont have satan's rtx 4090 or something?

i can only chalk this up to either a currupted build of both portal rtx games or a driver bug

[rigid tusk]

i dont know, but the shadow realm is real in half life

darn combine, messing up everything

[shy gazelle]

@fickle narwhal speaking of pinned instructions, I think the one's Mark listed are outdated. These are the new ones I believe #1103495588374401115 message

[fickle narwhal]

👍

[shy gazelle]

Mucho gracias

[fickle narwhal]

De nada mi amigo

[rigid tusk]

i decided to just wait for half life 2 rtx, and when i booted the base game up all lighting disappeared

help

thanks

[tiny gust]

Also rasterized do d3d9.shaderModel = 0

[frozen lichen]

You need to assign window textures some material

[oblique stream]

Question: I got half life 2 rtx working through the guide on Moddb and also downloaded the mods "Skurtyy's Half Life 2 RTX PBR Assets" and "Xenthio's water PBR pack". Whenever I'm in an area where the skybox isn't being culled, there is immense heavy fog. Is there a fix for this?

[keen vortex]

You need to disable volumetric fog, it's in the developer menu

[oblique stream]

Thanks!

Also, as you might have noticed in the video, the UI icons turn into squares sometimes. Is there any fix for this?

[keen vortex]

I do not know, maybe UI elements were not tagged correctly in the game setup tab? Someone else might have a better answer for this question

[pulsar granite]

Rtx runtime needs fix for saving volumetric fog dissable

it will always be enabled no matter if u save

i mean on start

[oblique stream]

Found the settings for the fog, they're under Froxel Radiance Cache/Volumetrics -> Volumetric Lighting and then you have to enable the box labeled "Volumetric Lighting" as well as disable the box labeled "Enable Legacy Fog Remapping"

doing both of those combined fixed it for me

if you want to leave "Enable Legacy Fog Remapping" enabled, then you can also disable "Enable Fog Max Distance Remapping" beneath it

Enabling "High" or "Ultra" graphics in the normal menu also seems to fix it

Update: I put on the HEV suit and the UI icons were fixed, no idea why

New bug just dropped

bleeding causes death (and not in the way you'd expect)

[last fog]

use freecam in the debugoptimized builds and see what's happening

[oblique stream]

edit: disabling particle light seems to have fixed it

i keep playing settings roulette and i keep winning somehow

[regal sphinx]

make sure your particles are marked as particle textures

[oblique stream]

how do that

[regal sphinx]

bind r_drawvgui 0 and 1 to two different keys in the game (it lets you pause the game without the UI showing)
then select the particle and mark it in the toolkit

[pulsar granite]

sv_cheats 1
host_timescale 0.01

it will be easier to catch these

[regal sphinx]

that can also work

[oblique stream]

toolkit? i'm just using the portal with rtx method

[regal sphinx]

sorry i meant the runtime

which still works in your case

[oblique stream]

still don't know how to use the runtime but at least i already found the fix in the settings

[regal sphinx]

one sec ill get a video

you should re-enable particle lights though

[oblique stream]

will i have to do this for every particle texture in the game?

[regal sphinx]

yes, i already have a rtx.conf that has almost everything

though be warned its gonna mess up any user-preference options so you'll have to re-adjust those

[oblique stream]

yoink

thanks

[regal sphinx]

np

[last fog]

i'm pinning that because there's a severe lack of info in the pins here

[regal sphinx]

i was about to ping you about that lmao

maybe we can also pin some install instructions?
I can write those too

[oblique stream]

also i know this is probably unavoidable but is there any fix for the wonky culling and light leaking

[regal sphinx]

it shouldnt be happening on the prelude engine, what place?

i can see if i have it on my side

[oblique stream]

most places

[last fog]

there are some current instructions on moddb, which should be okay

[regal sphinx]

ah ok, maybe those can be pinned here?

[last fog]

they are 🙂

[regal sphinx]

give me a screenshot

[oblique stream]

hold on i'll get a video after i install the new cfg

[regal sphinx]

ah yea they are oops

[last fog]

in image form at least. if you need to make any changes to them though please let me know, i'd like to keep them updated

they're quite old now

[regal sphinx]

yeah, portal with rtx has some additional issues that the prelude engine fixes

as its much closer to base hl2

the one issue with both engines is that there is a fixed limit of lights allowed in a source map, iirc 16, so some areas are just missing lights

but its nothing to do with culling

[oblique stream]

i got the video

[regal sphinx]

ok ill get to that map rq

[oblique stream]

although the issue becomes more apparent in indoor spaces

it's just all over the place

[last fog]

Remix's light count limit this can be overriden

(looking for the command)

[regal sphinx]

r_worldlights ?

[last fog]

no

d3d9.maxEnabledLights = 128

dxvk.conf

that's for Remix

i wasn't sure if you meant in Remix, or in Source

[oblique stream]

here's another video

[regal sphinx]

so how does this interact with the engine, because its source itself that stops sending lights after 16

[regal sphinx]

all good on my end

try changing engines

[regal sphinx]

ill give it a shot

[oblique stream]

how do that

[regal sphinx]

maybe in addition to the source command if it actually does anything

[regal sphinx]

use portal prelude rtx instead of portal rtx

install instructions are the same other than that

[oblique stream]

people in the reviews say the engine is really unoptimized

[last fog]

so... if you have more light sources in the scene than 16 in Remix itself (lights either ported in through the game or when you have more than 16 light replacements), it'll stop showing them

it could've been 32 though. can't quite remember

oh, it's 8 lol

[regal sphinx]

probably for the game maps/assets themselves

its not really a concern for hl2

[regal sphinx]

well i tried both, nothing really changed other than lights are now flickering (not to be confused with culling)

so im guessing source has a hardcoded light limit

i assume this isnt an issue in rasterized as its usually baked into lightmaps

[tiny gust]

Source world lights are hardcoded to 4

As far as i remember

https://github.com/BlueAmulet/SourceRTXTweaks

[tiny gust]

Not necessary for portal rtx

But if you are running the normal hl2 engine

This should help

[regal sphinx]

what did portal rtx raise it to?

it still doesnt seem like its high enough

i dont see any mention in blueamulet's readme

looks like some hl2 mods based on SDK 2013 SP work on prelude rtx

lots of culling issues though, most likely from an unpatched client.dll

[last fog]

it's mentioned here in the code:

[('b80000000f4c', 4), '909090'], # four hardware lights

[regal sphinx]

oops

thanks

[last fog]

but i'm not sure if it was actually overridden

[rigid tusk]

how do i do that?

[regal sphinx]

👀

[grand comet]

Cm2013 when

[regal sphinx]

probably will work too

the crucial part here is using the prelude engine instead of portal rtx's

i guess its more of a SDK 2013 base than whatever portal rtx is

hmm im not sure where mmod is loading its client.dll, i patched it but culling issues still exist

[grand comet]

Alot of other mods still cull, even after patching, like watching paint dry - the game and tsp

[regal sphinx]

it might be loading other games externally

im patching hl2u directly since its not in portal prelude rtx's folder

ah i see

its just not automatically setting r_frustumcullworld etc

well there is one major issue, some kind of particle that i cant click on that is destroying my frames, but hey now people can apply mmod on top of hl2 rtx when it comes out lmao

ah you can turn them off

[oblique stream]

the skybox is now missing and the world lighting is gone

[regal sphinx]

are you using the provided rtx.conf?

you should have identical results to my screenshots/videos

[oblique stream]

no, i found it to override the pbr materials mod

[regal sphinx]

hm? it shouldnt overide it

maybe retoggle the enhancements

[oblique stream]

also a lot of the lights are red now

[regal sphinx]

uhh wha

[oblique stream]

switching to this engine has introduced more bugs than it fixed

[regal sphinx]

it should be the opposite 💀

i guess i can try a clean portal prelude rtx install and try again

though maybe you should try the same without the PBR assets, im wondering if those are messing up something

[regal sphinx]

https://youtu.be/R6kxoAQfbu0

[oblique stream]

this is what one of the backgrounds looks like without any world lighting and it's kind of a vibe tbh

[regal sphinx]

fog remapping my beloved

[oblique stream]

hl2 if it was horror game

[regal sphinx]

i noticed my prelude rtx was a update behind (whether because of modified files or steam bugging out), so i completely removed my existing install and doing a clean one now

ill let you know if I run into the same issues

wow the fake volumetric sprites actually looks pretty good in remix lol

(oops uploaded it twice)

[grand comet]

I was tryna look for a b4 and after

[regal sphinx]

lol yea mb

the vfire particles mmod uses are broken, it submits some kind of unknown data to remix so i cant ignore it in the runtime

no settings to disable it

jesus what can prelude rtx's engine not run lmfao

ok nvm it crashes when you load most of its maps

[grand comet]

It can't run the Stanley parable

[regal sphinx]

which one

the new one based on portal 2 or the hl2 one

[grand comet]

The hl2 one from 2007, idk abt the new one

[regal sphinx]

ah if its source 2007 its probably not gonna run on prelude

it needs to be a SDK 2013 SP mod

[grand comet]

F

[regal sphinx]

ok well i fixed twhl

[oblique stream]

did you

[regal sphinx]

i ran blueamulets patcher on prelude rtx even though you're not supposed to, and well now i can load into most maps lmao

[regal sphinx]

still waiting to finish downloading

i backed up the older one that is working

[oblique stream]

oh kay

[regal sphinx]

ok well this proves prelude is literally sdk 2013 recompiled with some remix fixes lmfao

[oblique stream]

lol

[regal sphinx]

ok yep definitely broken

ok i tracked it down

its something with the hl2 folder itself

[oblique stream]

aw man

[regal sphinx]

ill figure out what the quirk is

its not the engine though

i can copy the hl2 folder from my prelude rtx backup to the new one and it works fine

ok i figured it out

and its really simple

***do not replace any files when copying the hl2 folder from Half-Life 2 to Portal RTX Prelude ***

otherwise hell on earth happens

fresh engine with a clean hl2 folder and my existing rtx.conf

[oblique stream]

will i have to do a clean install

[regal sphinx]

just delete the hl2 folder in prelude rtx and then verify game files in steam

it will redownload the folder

[oblique stream]

alright thats what i was thinking

[regal sphinx]

and when you copy hl2 again just dont replace anything

[oblique stream]

https://tenor.com/view/movie-one-eternity-later-gif-7900643

[regal sphinx]

also another thing i forgot to mention

skyboxes and map lighting is going to be busted until you copy the remix runtime from portal rtx to prelude rtx

so copy d3d9.dll and the .trex folder inside Portal RTX/bin to Portal Prelude RTX/bin and replace all files

[oblique stream]

alrigth

https://tenor.com/view/baylor-baste-turkey-gif-20959414

yup it works

nevermind

[oblique stream]

the red lights are back

but the weird culling issues and light leaks are mostly gone

[regal sphinx]

are you still using the replacement assets?

[oblique stream]

i figured out how to make it stop

just disable replacement meshes

[regal sphinx]

yes

[oblique stream]

the textures are fine

[regal sphinx]

you should be good to go now

[oblique stream]

which texture option should i select to make a texture fullbright

like the screen on a combine terminal

found it

for some reason, it's world space ui texture

no idea why

[oblique stream]

currently working on going through the game and making a comprehensive list of world space, particle, and decal textures (and any others that would be necessary)

game crashed and nothing saved

[oblique stream]

i just got out of the trainstation and the world lighting disappeared

what do

one second it's sunny and the other second it's not

[oblique stream]

@regal sphinx

[regal sphinx]

bro did u just really re @ me

[oblique stream]

sorry

i thought you missed the first one

[regal sphinx]

if im not responding 1st thing it usually means im busy

[oblique stream]

gotcha

[regal sphinx]

could be light culling?

[oblique stream]

i have anti-culling on

[regal sphinx]

im not near my main pc to test that map

[regal sphinx]

its not gonna do much for source

[oblique stream]

are there any other ways to avoid culling

[regal sphinx]

for right now, not really, though it shouldnt bo too bad

[oblique stream]

alright

[regal sphinx]

gmod has a lot more patches/fixes for remix so maybe try following the instructions there
#1116089843479498782

[oblique stream]

i find it interesting that to get terrain textures to work, i don't flag them as terrain textures but rather world ui textures

well whatever works works

[shy gazelle]

If you tag them as world ui textures, they textures will be rasterized and not be path traced. Try decal texture instead 🙂

[oblique stream]

eyyy it works

in the course of assigning flags to all the textures that need them, i've crashed thrice (maybe more) and i've only reached the beginning of the apartments

everything is going along swimmingly

[shy gazelle]

I thiiiiiiiink this might help? I've only used it on garrysmod to improve rtx, but I think it should work in half life

you move the "applypatch.py" to the game directory, and then run the applypatch.py. A patched folder appears, and you just copy and paste whatever's in that folder in your game directory

https://github.com/BlueAmulet/SourceRTXTweaks

[regal sphinx]

ah yeah i guess patching hl2's client.dll would probably help with culling

[oblique stream]

the culling is real

stay safe out there guys

[regal sphinx]

yeouch

[oblique stream]

before i do these instructions should i back up my config file

[shy gazelle]

Yeah might as well

[oblique stream]

is it guaranteed that this will work with prelude rtx

[shy gazelle]

LOL I personally haven't tried it myself, but in theory it should work

Honestly, the best way to play half life 2 rtx is probably through garrysmod

There's absolutely no culling, and the gmod rtx fixes addon fixes a TON of things you can't get in half life 2 alone with prelude

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeMrlemVSl8

[oblique stream]

alright the patch isn't working for portal rtx either

[regal sphinx]

the patch worked earlier for me with prelude

[oblique stream]

i ran the .py and it ran for about a tenth of a second and then closed and no file was created

[regal sphinx]

hm? how did you run the py file? as in xenthio's video?

you should be running it with cmd/powershell like so

[oblique stream]

i did it according to skurtyy's instructions

#1103495588374401115 message

[regal sphinx]

he doesnt really mention how in that specific message but it would be how it's ran in that youtube video

and how i said in my screenshot

with the patches i dont see any culling issues, though this map is missing some lights in this room

[oblique stream]

one of the folders is named hl2

which protal prelude doesn't like being replaced

did you make sure to skip the files

[regal sphinx]

💀

[oblique stream]

i just realized i typed protal lmao

[regal sphinx]

ik my game is installed correctly lol, the light issue has nothing to do with how the game is installed, source has a hardcoded light limit of 4

though the issue in your video is culling

[oblique stream]

made a backup of bin and hl2, then applied the patched files and chose to ovveride the existing files

the game wont even start

[regal sphinx]

hu

[oblique stream]

i'm going back to portal rtx

[regal sphinx]

so you did exactly this right?

[oblique stream]

yup

[regal sphinx]

maybe a driver issue?

[grand comet]

Waot how'd you get that folder style

[regal sphinx]

the windows xp look?

[grand comet]

Yeah, I have almost everything else looking like xp, minus the log in screen and file Explorer

[regal sphinx]

using this theme engine, very comprehensive

https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/

[oblique stream]

driver booster 11 says all my drivers are up to date (except 3 that i cant update because it's a silly little peice of shit and wants me to give it money)

[regal sphinx]

they do a lot of stuff to the explorer shell

[regal sphinx]

im sorry what

driver booster?

💀

i meant like going to the nvidia website and checking if you have the newest driver

[grand comet]

Do you have one that updates the startup anim+login?

[regal sphinx]

nah i dont think there is anything that can modify the windows 11 shell that hard

[grand comet]

Sob

[oblique stream]

oh i thought you meant just drivers in general

i check my nvidia drivers somewhat often because my index hmd refuses to play any audio until i have the newest driver

[regal sphinx]

sounds like your windows install is cursed

[oblique stream]

but yeah i have the newest nvidia driver

[regal sphinx]

hmm ok, yea beats me then
you could try sending your hl2_d3d9.log file

[oblique stream]

like send it in this chat?

[regal sphinx]

yea there isnt anything confidential in it

you can look yourself

[oblique stream]

i dont have one

[regal sphinx]

hu

it should be created/modified each game launch

[oblique stream]

i dont have one

[regal sphinx]

you sure you dont have some kind of antivirus or program interfering?

nah i see it

you dont have known file extensions enabled in explorer

[oblique stream]

darn

[regal sphinx]

right there

[oblique stream]

how to enable knwon file extensions

anyways here you go

[regal sphinx]

search file explorer options in the start menu and untick this box

[oblique stream]

as you can see, there's a lot of decal textures

[regal sphinx]

hmm i dont see anything off other than missing files for replacements but that doesnt have any effect on the game launching

[oblique stream]

if culling is fixed by using portal rtx then i don't mind reverting

[regal sphinx]

you can try it

most of the stuff tried for prelude should work for normal portal

[oblique stream]

i already have the updated conf file in there anyways

[shy gazelle]

I'm curious if mine has culling, I don't think I've actually played through without gmod yet

lemme see

[regal sphinx]

you shouldnt if the files are patched but a lot of of map lights are straight up missing

i think gmod is the only source game to work around that issue thanks to lua

[oblique stream]

well time for me to find out myself

nevermind the game wont start either

fuck

good thing i backed up bin and hl2 for that one as well

[regal sphinx]

whatever backed up copy of hl2 i have for my old prelude rtx installation has all map lights working wtf

[oblique stream]

fuck it i am not spending another minute on this witchcraft, i'll just try gmod later

though i don't want my hours of texture flagging to go to waste so i'll just put this here if others wish to expand on it (it only covers chapter one)

doing a clean install of portal with rtx and deleting portal prelude rtx

[regal sphinx]

ah i see, i think I have an older version of blueamulets patched dlls because the light limit issue is non-existent

no flickering ones either

ah this also might help

i had this autoexec that sets some engine commands to be more remix friendly

i dont think i made it though

makes the flashlight semi-work

[oblique stream]

today i did something that i didnt even plan to do, and downloaded a mod that i didnt think even existed, and has only been on moddb for just over 2 months.
in this time, i have learned more about rtx remix than i ever have in my life,
joined a completely new discord server,
downloaded a new game,
met the creator of the mod i downloaded (which i didn't expect whatsoever)
met one of entropy zero two's developers,
died in my soul 1000 times,
procrastinated on work that i was actually supposed to be doing,
and put unhealthy amounts of focus into dicking around with several games' files

after all this, i can proudly say

i never want to see this software again

outside of garry's mod, of course

[regal sphinx]

yeah gmod is definitely the more polished route

[oblique stream]

[shy gazelle]

yeah gmods so much more polished, it's easier to just copy the gmod game folder and name it something like garrysmodrtx so it doesn't save over or get overwritten when an update comes out

the xenthio tutorial shows that tho incase you wanted to go that route

[rigid tusk]

sorry to ping again but can you explain how i do this? im not good with source or whatever engine Portal Prelude RTX runs on

[oblique stream]

Don’t trust what the media is telling you, man it’s all LIES

[rigid tusk]

what?

[oblique stream]

Did you replace the file labeled RTX in portal prelude RTX’s main directory

[rigid tusk]

yea

the conf one right?

[oblique stream]

When you copied hl2 to the prelude directory, did you tell it to replace all files

[rigid tusk]

yea

[oblique stream]

Unlike portal RTX, prelude RTX does not like that

[rigid tusk]

oh

so do it again and hit skip?

[oblique stream]

Well first you’ll need the original folder

So delete hl2 from the main directory and then verify the game files on steam

[rigid tusk]

ok then i do the download process again and hit skip?

[oblique stream]

Yes

Once it’s done validating the files, the vanilla folder will be reacquired and the RTX config file will also probably be replaced so you might want to replace the config again as well

[rigid tusk]

ok

ill let you know if it works

[oblique stream]

There will probably be culling issues with the lighting though, which will appear in game as shadows that pop in and out of existence based on where you are and where you’re looking, and after fiddling around with hl2 RTX way too much with the help of CR, I just settled on gmod as a more stable platform

#1103495588374401115 message

This will guide you on how to install to gmod if you want to do that approach

[rigid tusk]

its the exact same

really dark

[rigid tusk]

and now city 17 is a few props and is experiencing a dust storm

alr i fixed the void problem but now city 17 has been engulfed in the fog, any tips?

[oblique stream]

i would just quit while you're ahead and try half life 2 in gmod rtx

but that's just me

[rigid tusk]

ok

[rigid tusk]

oh ive followed that tutorial before and when i get to the patcher part it always says i need some error about python, what do i do there

"Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases."

[radiant phoenix]

try fog_override 1

and did you choose the sky?

[rigid tusk]

I fixed the fog but everything is just dark

[rigid tusk]

No

Idk what happened

[radiant phoenix]

click on the sky and and mark them as "sky texture"

when you click with the mouse on the sky while the rtx remix menu is open, they will flash green, and a small menu will open for you, then choose the category "Sky Texture" click on the small square next it to mark it

Do the same for all the sky textures

[regal sphinx]

try doing r_3dsky 0

[rigid tusk]

I did

[regal sphinx]

hmm yeah then it's probably not getting the skybox texture, though there is an easy way to fix this

[regal sphinx]

the newer rtx remix runtime in portal can automatically flag sky textures

just make sure to use the rtx.conf that's pinned here too

[frozen lichen]

Just wait for HL2RTX lol

[grand comet]

atp just respond automatically with this

[regal sphinx]

I'm tempted to make a new comprehensive guide to get hl2 running on remix, whether that be the portal engine or prelude's, whichever is easier to get running for the end user

at least until the official thing shows up

[rigid tusk]

That's what I'm doing rn

[oblique stream]

just do gmod

this same process wore me down enough to get me to quit after spending an entire day on this buggy port

not worth

[rigid tusk]

ive followed the tutorial and it keeps saying "Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases."

[oblique stream]

you seem to be missing python on your computer

https://www.python.org/downloads/

i have absolutely no idea why

[safe bridge]

download it from microsoft store btw

[rigid tusk]

no i have it but its still says that

[rigid tusk]

oh

[oblique stream]

is it in the right place

i think it has to be in a certain folder (?) but yeah microsoft store works better

[rigid tusk]

alr i got it from the microsoft store but now it says "python: can't open file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysModWithRTX\applypatch.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory"

[shy gazelle]

Working on an update to my HL2 PBR Pack that will feature the new upscaler, PBRFusion. This might also include height maps depending on if file size will allow once it's all done.

[oblique stream]

oooooh nice

[shy gazelle]

oh wait rip it's not time, hl2 update postponed

[past thorn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0-F8sPprmA

[frozen lichen]

Stop posting fake info 😒

[safe bridge]

????

[vagrant whale]

cool fake, i wonder why that fake was uploaded on a real channel of NVIDIA, must be Illuminati

[elfin geyser]

looks great, i think particle effects can improve a bit more though. modernize it a bit more?

there is a lot of concrete and metal in half life 2 universe, i think impacts effect particles can make a dramatic impact, especially if they cast light 😄

[frozen lichen]

Bro nobody will respect you for this disinformation

[frozen lichen]

My main concern is ghosting that is not completely fixed, and the light that holds in screenspacw for longer than it should be

[vagrant whale]

You keep doing this, huh? Here is reality mate:

Nobody will believe into your nonsense lie, and neither respect you for that, in fact they might mock you for that, not in text, but in their minds

[elfin geyser]

oh, and receive shadow if doable.

love this project.

[regal sphinx]

it looks like they already overhauled them? though they look like they're from mmod which isnt a suprise since one of the devs from that mod is working on hl2 rtx

oops meant to reply

[modest bear]

Im having an issue right now involving the screen captures, when I click screen capture, nothing happens, got any solutons?

[shy gazelle]

A capture can only be done if the games path traced

[modest bear]

wdym

[shy gazelle]

If the game looks the same when you load in you won’t be able to capture the scene

Look at the pinned messages and make sure you installed rtx right

[modest bear]

Okay, the only instruction I don't really understand is the "change the launch option for portal with RTX to steam"

where and how do I do that

[modest bear]

okay because this guy isn't coming back, anyone else got a solution to thsi problem

[grand comet]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-yoda-patience-sw3-gif-21070142

[modest bear]

wtf

can you help me out

[half dove]

some people dont help here

[modest bear]

fr

[regal sphinx]

or maybe they're just preoccupied with other things in life? maybe take a look at that gif again 💀

[modest bear]

okay

Im not mad at him just looking for someone else with a solution to this problem

[half dove]

i can read but i swear ive tried talking to like 8 people for help and they all act like something happens as i ask

[regal sphinx]

you need to be a little more specific about your issue, screenshots would definitely help

[modest bear]

okay

[regal sphinx]

also as of right now, the install instructions pinned are more of a rough guideline, i'm trying to work on a more detailed guide but it takes time

[modest bear]

its as simple as when i click on the Capture Scene

nothing happens

I also am unable to interact with all of the Enhancements

[regal sphinx]

1, your game is rasterized so capturing wont do anything
2. there are no enhancements to load as you have not ingested/added anything with the remix toolkit

#1 is your biggest issue as remix is not installed properly

[modest bear]

I only like that cause the screenshot wouldn't work without it

[modest bear]

okay how tf I install it "properly"

yall disapear constantly

any one else hear

[regal sphinx]

^

[modest bear]

bro ive been trying to fix this for 2 days no sleep bro just answer the god dam question

[modern valley]

lmao

does Xenthio's tutorial work for hl2?

[modest bear]

idk

[half dove]

patience you must learn how to help people

[regal sphinx]

i was about to send that and just assume anything for gmod to interpret for hl2 lmfao

[modern valley]

yeah i'd imagine

might as well forget this server man because no one knows what their doing and help people by telling them their wrong, yall really got nothing better to do

[modest bear]

[half dove]

[modest bear]

might as well man these mfs aren't even remotely intelligent they just wanna look better than everyone else by being helpful while appeartly they all leave the moment you ask them any question

[grand comet]

Mfw people are busy working on other projects and don't have time to deal with impatient smug wannabe posse

[modest bear]

[modest bear]

[grand comet]

People are busy doing stuff you don't even know how to, people have built these games for you to enjoy, and yet you treat them like they know nothing, if your so good at this why don't you try

[half dove]

[grand comet]

Patience is a virtue, not snobbyness
