Garry's Mod

[lament quartz]

im going to try what you told me

rg..

[subtle bison]

iirc all need to be 0

or maybe only r_frustumcullworld 0

[lament quartz]

nope..

nothing happened..

and also i descover why autoexec wasnt working-

i didnt put sv_cheats 1 on it

[lament quartz]

(i noticed its more stable now btw..)

[subtle bison]

weird, all 3 worked for me in tf2

[lament quartz]

also

this doesnt happens

in hl2

only in gmod..

[subtle bison]

are you running hl2 in portal rtx's engine?

[lament quartz]

nope

i used portal prelude rtx

on hl2

and before that i used portal rtx binaries

and it was all fine-

in both cases

[subtle bison]

yeah if you copied the hl2 folder to prelude rtx, its still using prelude's engine

[lament quartz]

oh

[subtle bison]

gmod probably has its own engine stuff going on, but in theory those 3 commands after applying the patches would fix it

i would try it myself but i havent gotten the chance to yet

[lament quartz]

why?

not enough time or..

[subtle bison]

just havent gotten to it yet

doing other things

[lament quartz]

oh

[lament quartz]

ALSo

you are making tf2 rtx. right?

[subtle bison]

was

[lament quartz]

a

[subtle bison]

tf2 doesnt render in fixed function atm

so its a performance mess in shader mode

https://youtu.be/UFh4mwcczGQ

this is with all 3 patches manually imported

which is why it runs at like 20fps

[lament quartz]

it looks..

kinda weird-

but it looks so good too

[subtle bison]

yes there is no source lights

its only one fallback light and the skybox

and geometry isnt stable, at all

this is what source does in shader mode

[lament quartz]

yea..

i mean if there was a way to make geometry more stable it will be pretty good

[subtle bison]

not possible until the remix devs do more shader backend work

my goal is try to get the game to render more than gun decals in fixed function mode

[lament quartz]

i hope they update soon..

[subtle bison]

because it runs but there is little to see

[lament quartz]

oh

i hope one day we can get tf2 fully compatible whit rtx remix

[subtle bison]

for now you can just load up the maps in gmod

[lament quartz]

imagine valve actually implements rtx in tf2

[lament quartz]

yup

and use a tf2 weapons mod too

[subtle bison]

yeah most wouldnt be able to tell if you hide the hud

it'll render the same as tf2 would anyway if it worked

[lament quartz]

there its a

tf2 gamemode

actually-

and i think it can be runned whit bots too..

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1932936017&searchtext=team+fortress+2

look

i think its dead though-

im going to try it rg

my pc almost died

[meager oar]

I guess it froze the whole thing?

[lament quartz]

yes.

i mean it works

but i get

10 fps

and then it freezes-

even whithout the gamemode tf2 maps run pretty bad.

i might try a smaller one

itemtest maybe

OKAY

it works fine in itemtest

pretty good ngl

[subtle bison]

what is with the drunk camera

[lament quartz]

i forgot to disable my mods

...

[meager oar]

I think the custom weapon might have crashed it, I never got this type of crash on default hl2 weapons except with a custom weapon

Still trying to find a good custom weapon addon that works

And not makes the game unstable

[rain vault]

can't really get gmod to work with prelude files

you need the .trex folder, stdshaderdx7, d3d9.dll in bin and , dxvk.conf, robotboy's lua menu firstly right?

[meager oar]

i tried those but its still broken

[meager oar]

Btw if the npcs are spawning in black color then use this tool for sum reason spawning with this tool doesnt spawn the NPCs in black color

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2520292228

[lament quartz]

I think you have to open ignore textures and look for those blue,purple textures

And ignore them

[lament quartz]

They spawn fine for me!

But I'm going to install it just in case

[night bramble]

For me only 5 lights will be enabled at a time and turn on when near and stay on until more lights force the oldest lights to turn off. That’s with all the patches.

[lament quartz]

ye, same.

[night bramble]

Geometry culling fixed just not light culling so there is a limit of 4

[lament quartz]

there have to be a way to increase them

[half viper]

r_worldlights 16

Probably

I think

[lament quartz]

OH

let me try

nvm

i have that already-

maybe if increase the number?

ill try whit 50

it crash

💀

nvm i tried a lower number and it works but lights still the same

[fringe ingot]

hard coded max of 4

[meager oar]

I have that issue on like some addon maps and on mounted game maps such as CSS.
What I do is instead of noclipping I just walk to turn them on and then wait for some seconds, This way the light stays on no matter what.

But a lot of maps in my videos that I showed such as wild west mines have there lights already on

[lament quartz]

at the end this its the best i could get

no crashes in big city

finally

💀

[meager oar]

Dang man I want those weapon pack, Bored of using the dang default half life 2 guns, Yea Gm_bigcity is unstable tried to do npc battles in it but crashes after sometime.

Also just tested the tornado series map and they work alongside the tornado and destructive houses and it didn't crash.

[lament quartz]

I can send them if you want

[meager oar]

yes

[lament quartz]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1606822274

[meager oar]

also u can get this addon, it will make npcs move in literally any map https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2905690962

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2878197619

[lament quartz]

ooh

alr

im dowloading them

[modern fulcrum]

Any mod project for gmod with rtx remix ?

[lament quartz]

something wrong whit my gmod-

ITS GETS BIGGER

[half viper]

Disable multicore rendering

[lament quartz]

its disabled..

[warped hemlock]

where's the tutorial for getting this working?

nevermind i found the pinned

[meager oar]

yea that gonna happen on some maps if gmod is stressed out or there alot of npcs, i think this is gm_flatgrass classic? then yea sometimes spawning npcs will cause that in that map

disabling multi rendering doesnt fix it for some reason

[meager oar]

also your game looks pretty dim, i can give u my config which fixes that and brightens the game just like in ma vids if u can tell me how to do tat

[lament quartz]

Yes plss

It's the uh

rtx.conf

And just in case the dxvk too if you can..

[meager oar]

where is this rtx.conf file?

oh i asaw it

nvm

[meager oar]

ok i hope tis works https://www.mediafire.com/file/wahv2gbplwwales/dxvk_d3d9.dll/file

https://www.mediafire.com/file/g0tkl36nx9l7klh/rtx.conf/file

just in case before u do this, first make a backup of your config and dxvk file

so if a problem occurs u can just replace them back

cause i think dxvk d3d9 file might cause a problem if not then gud

[half viper]

@meager oar the dxvk_d3d9 does nothing

Its not even part of rtx remix

[meager oar]

oh i see

[lament quartz]

tyy

do you know any map

that works well whit remix_

whithout crash

[meager oar]

theres alot

im gonna tell u the names of 10 maps in a little bit

later

[meager oar]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?edit=true&id=3009230960

also alot of ZS, TTT and PH maps work thats why i didnt add them in the collection, only gm maps or maps that are big and detailed

[meager oar]

ok this is weird as heck, when i spawn objects they spawn with no texture just black but when taking this tool out and spawning stuff they spawn in normally with there material https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1357913645

well i doont mind atleast found a tool that spawn things with there texture

[rich badge]

If you disable rendering of alpha textures, default maps work too. Probably couple textures cause the crash. If we could identify them and add to ignore list we wouldn't have to disable alpha completely.

[subtle bison]

xenthio made a rtx.conf that fixed most of the crashing issues

scroll up a bit and you'll find it

[meager oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=899RAAU6qvY

Finally after so long found stable l4d2 map and weapons in gmod

[rich badge]

How your's look?

Left: mat_drawwater 0
Top Right: mat_drawwater 1
Bottom Right: mat_drawwater 1 + Emissive Blend Override is off

[meager oar]

i think i have the left one cause its transparent and u can see stuff below it

[rich badge]

Is it transparent or there is not something there?

Water surface has a dedicated culling system. Even though I replace the original with a proper translucent material, I can't see props below it.

[rich badge]

Proper water surface finally?

g-boy

More water

[lament quartz]

nice!

[meager oar]

how u do that?

[half viper]

share the mod!

[meager oar]

Yes!

[subtle bison]

please🙏

[rich badge]

Here is the mod.

Put this into the GarrysMod\garrysmod\lua\autorun\client folder.

My config.

[rich badge]

It only disables the problematic part (culling and the original surface), the particles, splashes and etc. still work.

Oh it only works on the gm_construct for now.

[meager oar]

can it work if a map uses the water used in gm_construct?

also is there a way to render fire

[rich badge]

No it is bound to a piece of terrain mesh on the gm_construct.

If all maps have a mesh in common that is never culled we might bound to it instead

Altough I am not sure if their hash would be same since it goes through the source map maker and stuff.

[subtle bison]

ah so this isnt a texture hash replacement?

[rich badge]

Nope

[subtle bison]

i was thinking about doing this the same way in hl2

[rich badge]

I tried it but underwater props get culled and normal maps refuse to work.

[subtle bison]

we can't just ignore all water textures and overlay the mesh?

[rich badge]

If we ignore the water texture the replacement won't be displayed as well also there is still culling

[subtle bison]

ah

[rich badge]

Disabling water from the console all together is the only solution I have to the culling

Since it is not rendered, there is nothing on the surface to replace. So I manually placed a plane onto original surface

[meager oar]

ah crap umm so how do i run gm_construct forgot that it crashes

[rich badge]

Unfortunately we need to manually add this into every map which is far from ideal.

[rich badge]

I don't get crashes, can you try my config?

[rich badge]

here

[rich badge]

The best case scenario is to automate this process some way.

[subtle bison]

could i do it the cursed way and attach a reflective plane to a different mesh (let's say a wall) and just overlay it where the water is supposed to be?

🤣

[meager oar]

Not opening even with the config 😦 have to rename the generic shader file in the bin folder to make it open construct but that breaks alot of stuff in the map

[rich badge]

Uhm if I understand correctly this is exactly what I did (chunk of terrain instead of a wall)

[subtle bison]

yeah

[rich badge]

See that chunk the water surface is bound to that

[subtle bison]

i don't mind doing this for hl2 as it seems easier even if it's not optional

the user wouldn't be able to notice anyway

[rich badge]

It is cursed in a way it took 8+ hours for me to figure out replacing meshes despite all the information found here https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1096847508002590760

[subtle bison]

yeah i was trying to do it myself last weekend but i ran out of time trying to figure it out. any tips for source?

[rich badge]

It is independent of the game engine

[subtle bison]

ah i thought source had some issues with the editor

nvm then

[rich badge]

tadpole (creator of the cod2 mod) has plans to make a video tutorial.

If I remember correctly

The guy who put 20k+ poly grass into the game

[subtle bison]

yeah his work is insane

[rich badge]

Are you using the latest bridge + dxvk?

[subtle bison]

do you have stdshader_dx7.dll from portal rtx

[meager oar]

nah, the latest ones break alot of maps thats why using the old ones and i think thats why it isnt working

[rich badge]

Mesh replacements need a never release afaik.

[rich badge]

Can you tell one of the maps it breaks?

Maybe it is not the case

[meager oar]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3003173864

[rich badge]

However I have no idea how mesh replacements in Portal worked

[meager oar]

this one

[rich badge]

It works for me, wait I will take a screenshot

[meager oar]

theres like a weirtd thing where the whole map is moving to the opposite of my mouse movement

[rich badge]

Did you disabled 3d skybox?

[subtle bison]

is the 3d skybox off?

[meager oar]

yea

bigcity was working but had weird blue textures

[subtle bison]

bigcity shouldn't have any rendering issues

[rich badge]

There are some alpha and noise textures needed to be ignored but it shouldn't cause such issue

[subtle bison]

there is a rtx.conf that has a lot of flagged textures for gmod

one sec

[meager oar]

ok im gonna update my drivers and use that config and see if it fixes it

[subtle bison]

#1123083734225268736 message

[rich badge]

I don't think updating drivers will help

Double checked, no issues

[subtle bison]

that rtx composited fog tho, my eyes 🤣

[meager oar]

yea gotta use the fog editor in gmod to remove it

[subtle bison]

you can also disable it in rtx

in post-processing

it's the first thing i do

[subtle bison]

yeah it looks much better

[rich badge]

This

[subtle bison]

i use the other option but yeah that works too

[rich badge]

Which one

The volumetrics?

[subtle bison]

I'm not on pc, but it's where the post-process options are

can't remember the exact name

[rich badge]

@meager oar Can I see your launch options?

[meager oar]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3010706773

this how looks for me

[meager oar]

hl2 -dxlevel 70 +mat_dxlevel 70 -w 1920 -h 1200 +r_3dsky 0 +r_worldlights 16 + sv_cheats 1 +r_novis 1 +r_frustumcullworld 0 +c_frustumcull 0 +r_occlusion 0 +r_shadows 0 +mat_queue_mode 0 +r_unloadlightmaps 1 +mat_drawwater 0

i fit all this in steam launch options

cant wait for something like this when remix is released fully with tools

[rich badge]

My game still doesn't crash

[meager oar]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3010699261

[rich badge]

And pool map is fine

[meager oar]

yea im using the old version thats why gonna try the latest files, and also i need to update drivers cause with the current drivers the latest std shader file from portal rtx doesnt work and gmod doesnt open with it

[subtle bison]

@meager oar did you use the rtx.conf i sent?

a lot of maps have a 1x1 texture that crash the game/driver

[rich badge]

My game doesn't launch at first try most of the time, I spam click it until it opens.

[meager oar]

im gonna in just 15 mins need to do a important thing

[meager oar]

i tried construct still crashing 😦 imma try useing the latest rtx remix files and std shader file in portal rtx and and then using these configs and see if they work

[meager oar]

im gonna try that trick later

[lament quartz]

Are you using the latest rtx remix version?

or its portal rtx binaries

[meager oar]

can anyone explain what is going on here?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3010925726

im trying out L4D2 Restoration maps they all are 150 plus mb and open up but alot of objects and walls are invisible have even l4d2 mounted on aswell but still this problem

i can like colide with them can hear objects moving around but there invisible

[half viper]

That happens in some maps too

Like goldencity

[lament quartz]

i cant load gm_construct

[half viper]

Redo the steps :3

I think its the portal rtx file missing but

Just in case

[lament quartz]

i did it

anyway..

other maps works fine

literally

no crash-

only gmod default maps

[meager oar]

how u did it?

Man this map looks insane

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3010967186

but destroys my fps

15 fps i think

[subtle bison]

those poor decals need to be flagged (which might do nothing depending on the map)

my eyes

[lament quartz]

And almost all the maps are playable (but most of them are fps killers)

All maps work

EXCEPT THE DEFAULT GMOD MAPS

I'm using xenthio config

I get no crashes whit it

[rich badge]

not the bleeding edge commits but yes

[rich badge]

Same, but vanilla maps work as well

[rich badge]

Some maps have tons of grass and other alpha textures which tends to slow down blending I guess.

If the grass was made up of even 20k+ poly mesh it would probably run faster.

[meager oar]

can u try this map and see if it works for you?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1957565453&searchtext=Ravenholm

Crashes for me

[keen rivet]

You can make those work by deleting the garrysmod_game_shader.dll or whatever it’s called in the garrysmod/garrysmod/bin folder

[meager oar]

For some reason renaming this file breaks Some Custom maps such as this one where on certain area on the map the whole map moves at the opposite of your mouse movement but on some spots its fine https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=104793138

[lament quartz]

OMG U MY HERO

[lament quartz]

Okay

[rich badge]

Let me try

What map should I add water next? Doesn't take too much time but I want to make sure we go this path (adding custom mesh for water) before taking effort.

Gotta find a way to automate it

[lament quartz]

This one?

It's a pool map..

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3003173864&searchtext=Pool

Pool :>

[meager oar]

this one maybehttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2868175806

its 4 maps in a pack

3 of them have large amount of water

[rich badge]

It works fine for me

[rich badge]

I also deleted (same as renaming) that file

[lament quartz]

Question

Uh

The mod file

[rich badge]

I think you really should switch to the latest

[lament quartz]

Where do I put it

[rich badge]

GarrysMod\rtx-remix\mods

[lament quartz]

Oh then I did it right-

[meager oar]

i guess, so i need to first add the latest github files into the bin folder and then also add std shader 7 file from portal rtx or prelude?

[lament quartz]

E

That sounds easier than the way I did it-

[rich badge]

Sounds right

[meager oar]

dang

[rich badge]

The latest commit of dxvk-remix break config parsing so try the previous one

[lament quartz]

💀

BUT THE RESULTS ARE GOOD

It doesn't crash

And it's so stable

[meager oar]

did that map work?

[lament quartz]

YUP

[meager oar]

BRUHHH

[lament quartz]

At 20 fps-

But it did

[rich badge]

So you are using prelude's binaries and there are some leftovers from open source version of remix

[meager oar]

It crashes for me i want that version mannnnn

imma do it now

[lament quartz]

I kinda update them progressively

I start whit normal portal rtx

For some reason if I do it that way it becomes playable in any map

And it doesn't crash

NOW IT DOESNT CRASH WHEN I SPAM 90 TNT

[meager oar]

imma do what u did

[rich badge]

Yo don't need to

[lament quartz]

It's not necessary

[rich badge]

If you want frame gen just use the prelude's remix binaries and you'll be fine

[lament quartz]

No..

If you do that

[rich badge]

I don't have 4000 series so I continue using foss remix

[lament quartz]

It doesn't work very well

It crash a lot

And the light bugs

[meager oar]

i dnt have 4000 either have like 2080 super which im scared gonna die if i continue this testing

[rich badge]

Like how

Mine doesn't update sometimes

[lament quartz]

It's all bright when you just put portal rtx prelude binaries in gmod

And light crash the game

The light tool

[rich badge]

Uhm I think you are doing something wrong

Alright I will write down how I installed

[lament quartz]

Uhhh

probably-

ANYWAY it works the way i did

so im just letting it like that-

[meager oar]

ah need to update ma drivers giving me error saying you need to update your driver current version:----- need:-----

well back in 15 mins

[lament quartz]

WHY

You outdated your drivers-

i hope you can fix it..

[meager oar]

yea

dang i already have the driver installed just need to express it

[lament quartz]

IT LOOKS GOOD

[rich badge]

1. Install latest bridge-remix and dxvk-remix binaries: https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1132988164814934167
2. Put dxvk.conf near the hl2.exe then set d3d9.shaderModel = 0
   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/main/dxvk.conf

YOU NEED TO REDO THESE STEPS AFTER GMOD UPDATES
3) Do everything described here (including the recommendations on the bottom): https://github.com/BlueAmulet/SourceRTXTweaks/tree/main/garrysmod
4) Replace GarrysMod\bin\stdshader_dx7.dll with PortalRTX\bin\stdshader_dx7.dll
5) Delete GarrysMod\garrysmod\bin\game_shader_generic_garrysmod.dll
6) Open the file GarrysMod\garrysmod\lua\menu\custom\_errors.lua and comment out the lines between if ( GetConVarNumber( "mat_dxlevel" ) < 90 ) then and end by prefixing it with -- (or simply remove them)

Launch the game with hl2.exe -window -noborder -w 1920 -h 1080 +sv_cheats 1 -dxlevel 70 +mat_dxlevel 70 +mat_disable_d3d9ex 1 +mat_softwarelighting 0 +mat_queue_mode 0 +c_frustumcull 0 r_novis 1 +r_frustumcullworld 0 +r_occlusion 0 +r_lod 0 +r_staticprop_lod 0 +r_worldlights 16 +r_unloadlightmaps 1 +r_shadows 0 +r_glint_alwaysdraw -1 +r_3dsky 0 (put into a .bat file)

[rich badge]

@modern quest I owe you a pin please

[meager oar]

put a light src in it

[rich badge]

Use my config, It has a distant fallback light

aka Sun

[lament quartz]

for some reason it crashes

[meager oar]

wait where is the sun light

[lament quartz]

whit xenthio config it doesnt crash

[rich badge]

If you try to set it in game it does

[rich badge]

Oh

[lament quartz]

im using his-

[lament quartz]

you know why?

[rich badge]

You did these?

[lament quartz]

yup

[rich badge]

This? 3) Do everything described here (including the recommendations on the bottom): https://github.com/BlueAmulet/SourceRTXTweaks/tree/main/garrysmod

Weird

Can you link to his config?

[lament quartz]

here

im trying your config again-

but for some reason it crashes more often

YUP

i just joined the game

used noclip and-

[rich badge]

Can you upload his config?

[lament quartz]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1116089843479498782/1125985105446445138/rtx.conf

[rich badge]

Oh I didn't see the reply sory

[lament quartz]

a

no problem!

i also

changed some configs from his

like the colors

well actually i just changed the colors-

in the postvfx tab

[meager oar]

what is dxvk bineries?

[lament quartz]

popo

you know how to enable sun?

[meager oar]

yea

[lament quartz]

the only bad thing about this config its that there is no sun at all

but it also fix a lot of maps too-

[rich badge]

It looks like this for me :/

[meager oar]

in the latest version there is ability to change the sun rotations

[lament quartz]

thats weird-

like this to me

[rich badge]

`

Fallback Light

rtx.fallbackLightDirection = -20, 64, -12
rtx.fallbackLightAngle = 1
rtx.fallbackLightMode = 2
rtx.ignoreGameDirectionalLights = True
Add this tortx.conf`

[lament quartz]

tyyy

im doing it rg

[meager oar]

i tried once when trying to make the game stable using the latest files

[rich badge]

You can change the direction in game but it causes crashes

[lament quartz]

(i made it brigtheer)

[lament quartz]

oh

[rich badge]

Uhm where is the beach?

[meager oar]

it didnt crash for me in bigcity

[rich badge]

Not always, but often (for me)

[lament quartz]

omg big city-

[rich badge]

Isn't this map has sand near the water?

[lament quartz]

yup

[rich badge]

Where is your's

[lament quartz]

i disabled sand textures

[lament quartz]

it bugs out

idk how to fix it

so i just ignore the texture

[rich badge]

I tried many combinations and found that if you set it as legacy cut-out texture and ignore one of the grass textures (should be the one above) it looks ok

[lament quartz]

oh

[rich badge]

Did you made some changes to this config or it looks ok out of the box for you

[lament quartz]

I HAVE SUN NOW!

YAY

[lament quartz]

yup

i change some stuff

mostly weird texture bugs-

the config just change some settings of rtx remix but it doesnt add decals or anything like that

so you just have to set every texture manually

or add decals manually too

BUT it doesnt crash anymore!

im dead

[lament quartz]

I FIGURED OUT

HOW TO ENABLE GAME LIGHTS WHIT THIS CONFIG

IT LOOKS LIKE THIS NOW

[half viper]

@rich badge we still have the bug where sky isn't reflected

[meager oar]

😭 what am i doing wronghttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3011248963

[lament quartz]

OMG POPO

[meager oar]

thats a dang mess

[lament quartz]

THAT LOOKS MORE UNSTABLE THAN A NUCLEAR REACTOR ABOUT TO EXPLODE

[lament quartz]

Also do you think I got a good result?

[lament quartz]

Here

[meager oar]

yea thats better

[lament quartz]

You fixed your driver's. right-

[meager oar]

yea i have the latest one

[lament quartz]

How did you install it

[meager oar]

idk how to run gmod rtx with latest files mannn

[lament quartz]

You used the pinned dm?

[meager oar]

nividia geforce it does automatically for u stuff

[lament quartz]

I mean the rtx files

You did the same steps as the pinned message?

[rich badge]

Yea because there isn't a 3d skybox

[meager oar]

yea i put the latest github files rtx-remix main and latest bridge files inside bin and then put dxvk config right besides hl2 exe and then set shadermodule to 0 and then added std shader 7 from portal rtx

tadpole (creator of the cod2 mod) was thinking to attach a giant cube mesh to use it as a skybox, we can try that as well.

[half viper]

At least the sky color should be reflected
No need for a 3d skybox

This issue igor has faced it

[rich badge]

I really have no idea, tadpole had same issue if I recall correctly

[lament quartz]

A

[rich badge]

Did he found a workaround?

[half viper]

Umm no sadly

I miss him

[rich badge]

What happened to him?

No longer active

?

[lament quartz]

Idk who it's mark but pls fix

[rich badge]

Can you share your logs?

[rich badge]

What about SourceRTX tweaks?

https://github.com/BlueAmulet/SourceRTXTweaks/tree/main/garrysmod

You might have missed this step?

[lament quartz]

Idk if source tweaks can fix this

💀

[rich badge]

This is a set of unofficial patches for Garry's Mod to work better with RTX Remix, fixing missing shadows, light leaks, and crashes.

[rich badge]

Man that's smooth

I get 40-50 FPS at best

[meager oar]

I already did that

[rich badge]

?

[meager oar]

Crash logs? If so im on my mobile right now cause the electricity went out

[rich badge]

Have you ever updated your game ever since?

[meager oar]

Gonna share it later

[rich badge]

No remix's logs

hl2_d3d9.log
d3d9.log
NvRemixBridge.log

[meager oar]

Nope, I was just using gmod rtx with old files just like 4 hours ago and was working with patched files, even made a video but accidentally deleted the whole dang video thing

[meager oar]

I'm gonna see that

[meager oar]

Can you show a screenshot of that town map, Want to know how it looks like

[lament quartz]

THIS LOOKS LIKE A WALLPAPER

WTHHH

[lament quartz]

ye sure

let me open it

i rec a vid

like i told you..

its

very laggy

and also gmod struggles whit it and sometimes random colors appears in screen 💀

my graphic card its not the best

probably a 3080 can run it at 60-50 fps

@meager oar

[meager oar]

Mann I want this! I wonder if a 1gb map will also work in this version

[lament quartz]

i would send my gmod bin folder

so you dont have to do everything

and just put it in normal gmod

[meager oar]

That will be cool

[lament quartz]

but

I DONT HAVE A MEDIAFIRE ACC

😭

[meager oar]

Idk what website I used to share those files

[lament quartz]

that or i can upload my whole gmod folder

so the people that dowload it just open the game and thats it

and they dont have to make a whole progress

[meager oar]

Yeah imma try to find a website for uploading files

For free

[lament quartz]

okay

[meager oar]

DANG BRUH YOU SHOULD TRY TO SEE IF INFINITE MAP ALSO WORKS

Made by Mee

It crashes for me as well

Ok in 30 mins my electricity will come back and I will try to find a website

To upload files

[lament quartz]

look at this map

its the left 4 dead 2 map

i think you know it

IT WORKS

WHIT NO CRASHES

OR ANYTHING

only bad fps

and also the gun sometimes dissapear

because gmod its dying

but it doesnt crash

[meager oar]

Oh yea this is the map where I filmed the L4d2 all weapons vid it works fine for me aswell

[lament quartz]

im going to try

i dont think it will though

its a

black screen

but it loads

and i can move

for some reason

i cant find sky textures

so its all black

[meager oar]

Dang, Well that's kinda a big improvement, mine just crashes as soon as I load the map

[lament quartz]

i saw

[meager oar]

Yes please

[lament quartz]

for some reason

it doesnt load the map at all

its just empty

send it here

so people that dont want to do the process can just get rtx

IT IS?

but its just bin folder-

not the game

i hate copyright

😭

you dont need to delete the dm though-

it cant get you ban if you dont send it here

[rich badge]

We are bloating this channel quite a bit

[lament quartz]

better!

[meager oar]

ok u send those [REDACTED] in ma DMs

[lament quartz]

also

kamil

[lament quartz]

what do you think?

i took this screenshot

[rich badge]

Really nice

[lament quartz]

yay

the only problem i have right now..

its

glass

and

mirrors

but every map loads good and it doesnt crash

[rich badge]

Please don't send messages like this.

[meager oar]

Can u guys use Nividia Omniverse to like edit the textures? I tried once by opening gm_flatgrass_classic but it was opening vertically for sum reason in omniverse

[rich badge]

On parameter tuning there should be an option to change vertical axis

[lament quartz]

POPO I GOT A PROBLEM

[meager oar]

Also idk how da heck u edit the textures in there

[lament quartz]

sorryyy

[rich badge]

Also we don't edit textures there, it is for editing usd

[lament quartz]

THE MAP

YOU TESTED OUT

IT LOOKS LIKE THIS

ITS ALL GLITCHY AND LAGGY

[lament quartz]

question, do you know how to edit for example...a light to make it actually a light in rtx?

sometimes light doesnt work very well and it just dont load

[meager oar]

Ah crap don't tell me the latest version breaks some maps 😢

[lament quartz]

only this one for now-

thats what i seen

[meager oar]

Well that map is laggy anyway for me as well so no problem in losing it

[rich badge]

Remix automatically capture and replace lights at runtime, it might not be captured at first until you go that area

[meager oar]

How many maps did you tested in that collection I made in this version of gmod rtx?

[lament quartz]

ooh true-

also

if you clean up as an admin

those lights are gone too!

until you come back again

[lament quartz]

almost everyone

just like

2-3 of them doesnt work fine

[rich badge]

Are you talking about map lights or user placed lights?

[lament quartz]

map lights

[rich badge]

Uhm. then the game might be caching lights

[lament quartz]

probably..

also

look!

gmod maps are so cool

[half viper]

These are particles
You have to select/ignore them

[lament quartz]

oooh, thats why they move..

probably dust particles

but even like that the map its laggy so its not worth it to configure it..

unless someone got a 4050 then it might be worth it

[half viper]

I used to have a 3080

Now i have a 4070 ti

[lament quartz]

you might be able to run it at decent fps

[half viper]

If you ignore the dust particles you'll get an fps boost, to almost playable

[lament quartz]

alr..im going to try and do it

i cant move my mouse at all

[meager oar]

Man this map looks cool I think the name is outpost omega

[lament quartz]

LOOK

[lament quartz]

LOOK :D

FIXED

u were right!

it boosted my fps a lot

from 10 fps now its 25-30

[half viper]

Btw i rather disable bloom
Its kinda annoying

[lament quartz]

no bloom

[meager oar]

Wait is that map fixed now for you?

[lament quartz]

it looks like this whit no bloom :D

[lament quartz]

yup

it was

dust particles

[lament quartz]

it looks like this whit no bloom

[meager oar]

TBH bloom one kinda looks cooler

[lament quartz]

ye

i think the same lol

im going to explore this map a little bit more

to see if it crashes

[meager oar]

You should try to get a 1gb RP map and see if that also works, Now that will be insane if it also opens that

[lament quartz]

alr..

no crashes

last photo from this map

[lament quartz]

you know one?

i been playing gmod maps whit rtx for 2 hours

[meager oar]

Imma send a link

[lament quartz]

AND IT HAVENT EVEN FREEZE OR CRASH

im so happy

[meager oar]

I'm not happy 😂 😭

[lament quartz]

i finally found a way to make rtx stable

[lament quartz]

whyyy

[meager oar]

My one is broken 😭

[lament quartz]

true-

[meager oar]

Just look at that mess that construct is man like da heck is going on there

[lament quartz]

are you sure your drivers are ok?

[half viper]

Try redoing all the steps!

[lament quartz]

you saw his game? its kinda funny lol

[half viper]

I really don't know the issue

[lament quartz]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3011248963

Thats popo game rg

[half viper]

Its the only solution in my mind

[lament quartz]

its crazy..

idk what you did popo

but you destroyed your gmod

literally-

[meager oar]

I don't even know where that fps and information counter came from I think it's from the dxvk conf that I put right besides hl2 exe

[lament quartz]

Omg

💀

[half viper]

Ugh i want to work on texture replacements

[lament quartz]

it would be cool

to replace all construct textures

[half viper]

But replacements arent working for me

[lament quartz]

whit a pbr ones..

[lament quartz]

do you want me to test it out whit my version of rtx?

[half viper]

USDA files always fail to parse

[lament quartz]

oh

[meager oar]

There's also a map that has POM textures in it I think made by kenni

I tried it but crashes for me

[lament quartz]

i love to take screenshot

of the maps

[lament quartz]

can you send it?

to test

[meager oar]

yes

[meager oar]

it will be cool if there was a way to remove that annoying yellow sign on top right

[lament quartz]

true..

i think there is a way-

but i dont know how..

[meager oar]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2886815821&searchtext=+Parallax+Mapping

[lament quartz]

i hope..

this works..

[meager oar]

U need to download some files from github though to see the POM Effect

its easy

[lament quartz]

if that map works it means that we can build maps whit parallax mapping in rtx

[meager oar]

just need to paste them inside Garrysmod--)garrysmod folder

[meager oar]

https://github.com/thexa4/source-pbr

this is the files

for the map

[meager oar]

theres also this made by the same guy https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2887678011

[lament quartz]

maybe i install it in the wrong way-

[meager oar]

i used this addon aswell but as soon as i shoot at the ground it crashes

[lament quartz]

i installed the shaders and the maps loads

but not pbr

[rich badge]

I am not sure this will work

[lament quartz]

it doesnt..

sadly

[meager oar]

dang man this version of your game loads up any map

[rich badge]

Doesn't really matter we can create normal maps for bullet holes, that will work just fine

Maybe even better

[lament quartz]

kamil do you know how to create custom assets?

i want to see if they work in gmod..

or if you have a random one

[rich badge]

The water is a custom asset?

[lament quartz]

a

IT IS?

i want to see it in props..

[rich badge]

It is a manually placed mesh (might even be slightly off) and a translucent material

[lament quartz]

woah

[rich badge]

Why not you try to make one?

[lament quartz]

idk how..

:(

and also sounds like its hard

[rich badge]

There are great tutorials people made here https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1108266959763685458

[meager oar]

here some custom maps for you to test out 300mb https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2842137749&searchtext= 500mb https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3005390135&searchtext=Contagion ALMOST 1 GB https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2010286798&searchtext=RP

[lament quartz]

oh..alr thx!!

ALSO

[meager oar]

dang thats a big wall

[rich badge]

You don't have to create assets by yourself, there are plenty can be found for free online

[lament quartz]

did you saw the map i told that it was buggy?

i fixed it

[meager oar]

all of those maps crash for me

[lament quartz]

no bloom

[lament quartz]

alr im going to see if they work..

[meager oar]

the difference bloom makes in this scene is insane

[lament quartz]

ngl southside probably not going to work..

its too big

but lets see..

[rich badge]

It is too high by default

[lament quartz]

i made it brigtheer because in construct it doesnt look that bad...

but in other maps its weird-

[rich badge]

The no bloom one is better

in my opinion

[lament quartz]

IM NOT TRYING THIS AGAIN @meager oar

OMG

I GOT SCARED

SOUTHSIDE

[meager oar]

so i added the [REDACTED] in the bin lets see if it works

[lament quartz]

ALMOST KILL MY PC

WTF

😭

[meager oar]

dang that map is big

[lament quartz]

SOUTHSIDE DOESNT WORK

i remember that i cant text like that-

ill try

atmospheric house

[meager oar]

bruh this version just refuses to crash doesnt it

its so stable its insane

didnt crash on a almost 1 gb map wow

[lament quartz]

loads but it doesnt work-

[lament quartz]

IK

my methods works!

[meager oar]

i think walls are missing or invisible?

i onced opened that map like months ago had this same problem until it crashed

[meager oar]

try that 500mb contagion map

[lament quartz]

the contagion works!

also

50 fps

on contagion map

im showing vid

some textures are wrong because i have to fix them

but

ALMOST 60 FPS

also in some part of the vid the screen get empty (its because there was a mirror)

[half viper]

Btw are you using portal prelude runtime?

[lament quartz]

im using...a lot of stuff..

uh

i first installed portal rtx binaries into gmod

then rtx remix last update

And THEN portal prelude bin folder

and thats all i did

then patched gmod

and i get a gmod whit rtx no crash and no bugs at all

also every map loads

[lament quartz]

(IF YOU TRY TO SKIP ANY OF THOSE 3 STEPS THE GAME JUST BUGS A LOT AND IT CRASHES)

idk why...

im also using xenthio config as a base since it fix a lot of crashes too!

but at this point i edited it a lot.

mostly colors and textures

(also xenthio config comes whithout any sun you have to enable it in parameters)

sadly there still this bug where lights are created infront of you but if you noclip fast in all the map then its fine (also if you clean up as an admin, you have to noclip trhough all the map again to load lights.)

[meager oar]

🥹 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3011307703

[lament quartz]

your gmod its doomed

[meager oar]

the [REDACTED BIN FOLDER] Didnt work

i might as well reinstall gmod

[lament quartz]

yes..

you should..

try to use Kamilka method

[meager oar]

can you like send me that REDACTED Bin in ma DMS using this https://ufile.io/

[lament quartz]

real

e

okay

TF2 MAPS WORKS SO GOOD

60 fps!

[rich badge]

Not me

I will try sometime

Btw does your game open instantly or you have to spam-click like me

[meager oar]

are u using the latest drivers of your GPU?

[rich badge]

@meager oar Does your game refuse to open? If so that's the case for me

I have written a quite bloated script to open the game

[lament quartz]

nucleus tf2 map

works too

[lament quartz]

yup

[meager oar]

it opened instantly before using the old files but with the latest ones right now it opens after 3 trys

[rich badge]

Yes

That's expected

[meager oar]

does your game open instantly?

[lament quartz]

kamil..

[rich badge]

I think CR has the same issue

[lament quartz]

almost always

[rich badge]

Almost but not always

[lament quartz]

doesnt take more than 2 tries

[rich badge]

Mine takes up to 6

[lament quartz]

kamil

do you want my uhhh

the epic bi files not secret

[rich badge]

@meager oar How it is in game?

[lament quartz]

you know what i mean i cant say it

[rich badge]

Does i.e. gm_construct work as expected?

[meager oar]

broken, im reinstalling gmod right now

[lament quartz]

you saw the screenshot right...

this was popo game https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3011248963

completely ruined

by the portals!!

@meager oar try to uhh see dm remember

[meager oar]

this aswell 🥹 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3011307703

and theres this weird thing that happens when i shoot my gun im gonna upload a vid showing it

theres no rtx at first but when i shoot suddenly ray tracing appears but broken

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNpvmp8j14s

da heck is going on here

[lament quartz]

turbine map

looks like a render

literally

[meager oar]

do u have csgo?

[lament quartz]

e

ye

not installed

[meager oar]

u can try running de_dust2 so we can see how it looks compared to source 2

[lament quartz]

you can play cs go maps into gmod?

[meager oar]

yea

[lament quartz]

alr let me install it

[meager oar]

but they were either crashing or had invisible walls and props for me and no skybox

so trry the moded ones aswell

[lament quartz]

that happens whit the latest version of remix

has anyone tried replacing the prop?

[meager oar]

does it happen everytime u load up a map?

[lament quartz]

yup

kamil actually did it-

its not a prop

but still

he made water

here you can see it

yes i saw

[lament quartz]

also i think you can replace some props whit portal rtx ones...

idk ho

how

@rich badge was it difficult?

[rich badge]

What?

[lament quartz]

the water

[rich badge]

It was but probably me just being myself 🙂

[lament quartz]

trust me. if that was difficult for you

for us its going to be hell

💀

[meager oar]

if the map doesnt work then try this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2027018633&searchtext=CSGO+de_dust2 or this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2115820603&searchtext=CSGO+de_dust2

[lament quartz]

the fact that you made it and us didnt talks good about you

[lament quartz]

okay

[lament quartz]

for cs go to work you have to mount it...

its too much work aghh

[rich badge]

Replacing textures is easy, replacing meshes requires some attention

Thankfully the hard part of replacing meshes is already solved by Mark, Kim and tadpole

[lament quartz]

yea i think it doesnt work-

i love how the game can be d ying

and still not crashing

lol

[meager oar]

default one? if not try the moded ones

i tried office but summer version and the interior looks almost like Source 2

a little bright though

[lament quartz]

hm

i mean

source 2

used ray traicing

for some stuff

its not real ray traicing

but its like a render or something like that

[meager oar]

yea baked in ray tracing

[lament quartz]

and its just painted in the walls

ye

that

they should enable real raytraicing though..

source 2 can use ray traicing.

probably some modder its going to make raytraicing in source 2 a real thing

but first cs 2 have to come out for the public

[meager oar]

ray trace reflections would kinda be cheating

[lament quartz]

maybe using rtx only for light?

or..

[meager oar]

yea light, shadows and GI

[lament quartz]

ye!

that would be cool

[meager oar]

oh does the Lamp, Color and Material tools work in your version?

[lament quartz]

btw, did someone try to play with the weapon base?

[lament quartz]

yup

[lament quartz]

wdym-

[meager oar]

yea tried TFA but it makes the game unstable for me but it might not on the latest version

[lament quartz]

ooh

wait

i should try tfa

[meager oar]

wow

[lament quartz]

what about arc9?

[meager oar]

didnt trry that

only tried TFA

[lament quartz]

im about to install arc9 and tfa

[meager oar]

and bases for other stuff, Simphys and Drgbase were very stable

vj base was unstable as heck

[meager oar]

i wonder if the head lights for simphyscars would also work if the lamp tool works

[lament quartz]

I wish that in the future workshop would start supporting files for rtx remix.

arc9 crash the game

[meager oar]

dang that thing crash the game for the first time?

[lament quartz]

yup

worst of all

it doesnt even load

whit arc9

AND IT DOESNT CLOSE

it just freeze the screen

*screen

[lament quartz]

it's probably because of the dx version
