Garry's Mod

[lament quartz]

and there's no difference

[rich badge]

Did you ran the script in game directory

[lament quartz]

the client is in garrysmod/bin

and others just in /bin

[rich badge]

it doesn't replace files, it creates a patched folder

[lament quartz]

and i pathed them all

[lament quartz]

yeah ik

i even saved the original files

if something will went wrong

yeah that's pain

in some hole

[rich badge]

That doesn't explain much

I will get hashes of patched files

you compare it with mine

[lament quartz]

maybe you'll send just a patched files?

[rich badge]

If you want

[lament quartz]

that'll be great

can you send a stdshader_dx7.dll?

[rich badge]

alright

dm

[lament quartz]

okie

[rich badge]

@half viper do you have an idea what might be causing this

also destructible house doesn't crash but city does

3d skybox is disabled

game_shader_generic_garrysmod.dll is removed

everything is patched

stdshader_dx7 is the original not portal's

[half viper]

Big city requires stdshaderdx7

[rich badge]

that explains it

[half viper]

Did you select something as a grass texture? Maybe its that?

[rich badge]

It is not me, @lament quartz

[lament quartz]

yeah im here

[lament quartz]

no

[rich badge]

do you have a rtx.conf

[half viper]

Thats very weird

Let him download ours

[lament quartz]

crashes immideatly on the game loading screen with a facepunch logo with portal's stdshaderdx7

[lament quartz]

already tried

nothing's changed

[half viper]

I had this issue too...

[lament quartz]

are u on linux?

[half viper]

I suspect newest gmod updates broke it

[rich badge]

do you still have that issue?

[half viper]

@rich badge does it crash for you?

[half viper]

Yes

[rich badge]

no, it works just fine

[half viper]

Portal rtx binaries crashes it for me

On startup

[lament quartz]

same

[half viper]

Im on windows though

[rich badge]

then I am doing something different

[lament quartz]

oh, well that's not os depended then

[rich badge]

How can I prove it is on the latest branch

[lament quartz]

i think that the original menu shows the branch

[rich badge]

How is yours guys

[lament quartz]

oooh

where did you found it?

[rich badge]

game properties

[lament quartz]

oh

lol

the same

[rich badge]

@half viper ?

[half viper]

Im on the latest too

Ffs

I really don't get what the hell is happening

[rich badge]

[lament quartz]

as always

it does not crashing when i'm using shaderModel 1, 2 or 3

but the path tracing is ugly

and every polygon is shaking like in UK club

[rich badge]

Yeah it is not a valid option

Oh chute

I have the Prelude's stdshader_dx7

@half viper

[half viper]

Using the original one crashes?

[rich badge]

Not tried yet

running through the map for couple minutes and it works

[half viper]

Im going to blow my head's off

[rich badge]

Still fine :/

[lament quartz]

oh maybe you'll send him your hl2.exe file?

[rich badge]

@half viper Can you try with this script, if we all applied the instruction steps, this is the only thing different
https://github.com/Kamilkampfwagen-II/gmod-rtx/blob/main/gmod-rtx-launcher.ps1

[half viper]

Im pretty sure it has nothing to do with it but ill try it

[rich badge]

me too

[half viper]

Soon™️

[lament quartz]

send me your hl2.exe

i have no idea rly

[rich badge]

I didn't modify it nor any patches

[lament quartz]

that's ok

i can send my so you'll check the hashes

maybe there's a difference

somehow

nah

same

what gpu do you have?

[half viper]

He has a 2060

[lament quartz]

oh

and you?

[half viper]

I have a 4070 ti 🗿

[lament quartz]

oh

i have 3080

[half viper]

I still wonder why isn't it working for us

[lament quartz]

yeah

[rich badge]

So it didn't?

[lament quartz]

maybe drivers?

[half viper]

I didn't try it yet

[lament quartz]

for me it's not

[half viper]

I don't have access to my pc now

[rich badge]

I have a custom modified driver (nvcleaninstall) but it is unlikely to make a difference in this situation

[lament quartz]

i mean the version

[rich badge]

536.67

[lament quartz]

530.41.03

[rich badge]

That's a bit old, I updated because prelude was asking for

[lament quartz]

for me it not asked

ok my gmod folder with rtx is now a trash can

[rich badge]

@half viper I created a list of hashes of all exe, dll and lua files of my installation
Put those into the common/GarrysMod and run it via powershell: powershell -executionPolicy bypass -File ./compareHashes.ps1

It should output like this if there are mismatches

[lament quartz]

ok i think it's working now

[rich badge]

after what

[lament quartz]

i've just used the old portal rtx files

actually bridge

and d3d9.dll

[rich badge]

But bridge wasn't crashing

[lament quartz]

i can't tell you why it's working

im just telling a fact

that's straaange

[rich badge]

But eventually you'll need the newer builds

[lament quartz]

yeah

[rich badge]

There won't be a portal rtx release every month 🙂

[lament quartz]

yeah it's working

[rich badge]

what newer builds?

[lament quartz]

no

older

oh the props are broken

[rich badge]

@lament quartz

[lament quartz]

yeah?

is dxvk an important thing?

[rich badge]

Can you run this script in common/GarrysMod, it will compare the file hashes of your installation to mine

[lament quartz]

i have no powershell

[rich badge]

This is python

[lament quartz]

oh i see now

[rich badge]

You can inspect the script for suspicious things

[lament quartz]

i can read the code

don't worry

we have alot of different things

can you send me those?

[rich badge]

It's just remix

nothing else

and the stdshader

[lament quartz]

and stdshader_dx7.dll

[lament quartz]

yeah

[rich badge]

I don't get it

Can you send the builds you were using

not the current ones

[lament quartz]

that's strange cuz i download it using the script from this channel

[rich badge]

today?

[lament quartz]

yeah

first line

[rich badge]

I will try with them, mine is probably couple days older

[lament quartz]

wait wait

send me yours

pleaaase

[rich badge]

?

[lament quartz]

those files

[rich badge]

Probably not related

[lament quartz]

but what if that's the reason

the really old version is working for me so

[rich badge]

yaaaay

it crashed

[lament quartz]

yaaay

and you did not made a backup?

[rich badge]

Oh wait now I restarted it and it is fine again

[rich badge]

yep

[lament quartz]

oh

[lament quartz]

understandable

[lament quartz]

that's from prelude

it's working

till i look at the specific spot on the map

[rich badge]

Still not crashed

[lament quartz]

crashed when i spawned a light

[rich badge]

definetely not related to this

[lament quartz]

For me this is the crash tool

[lament quartz]

Ok I'll try windows in the future then

[rich badge]

Not related to OS either

Strelok is on windows

[lament quartz]

Yeah but I have no idea what is this then

[rich badge]

Me too

[lament quartz]

I'll try to do everything from scratch tomorrow

Even reinstall gmod

Maybe that'll help

[rich badge]

Wow look at my shadow

[lament quartz]

Wait wait

You have a pm shadows?

Player shadows

Or what is that

[rich badge]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=112806637

[lament quartz]

Ah

Understandable

[rich badge]

There is no head and hands look crappy

[lament quartz]

Btw are you waiting for dlss 3.5?

The ray reconstruction thing is awesome

[rich badge]

Oh holographics work with this new update

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/actions/runs/5909001594
Probably they were clipping through the game world before

[meager oar]

Dang there a lot of comments today

[rich badge]

@meager oar are you on latest build?

[meager oar]

Yes

[lament quartz]

Hello!

[rich badge]

With Portal's stdshader_dx7.dll ?

[meager oar]

Hi, wait are you a addon creator? Your name looks similair

[rich badge]

and latest build of gmod

[lament quartz]

SaVav?

Or just Alex?

You can check my steam profile in discord

[rich badge]

Magnified optics look like this

[lament quartz]

Wow

[rich badge]

@meager oar are you on the latest gmod build (august update)

[rich badge]

scope's image is rasterized

[lament quartz]

Yeah I see

[meager oar]

Yea I'm on the latest ones, it's the same files that Howareyou gave me

[rich badge]

it will be fixed once remix support rendering of multible targets

[rich badge]

So the game works just fine?

[meager oar]

Oh yea it is you, like Cloud system, grass system and also the ray tracing addon you made

[lament quartz]

Yeah, and all of them are shitty coded

💀

[meager oar]

Yep thankfully I saved all the files like the two bin folders so when the update happened all I did was just replace the two bin folders again and bam it worked

[rich badge]

So you reversed the update

[meager oar]

Wait I reversed the update?

[rich badge]

the binary ones

[lament quartz]

I think steam shows saved info about update and not the real one

[rich badge]

Hmm looks like August update break the game for many people

[lament quartz]

Amazing 🥰

[rich badge]

I did a fresh install and patched new binaries so technically mine is up to date

[meager oar]

All the add-ons I subbed seem to work still for me

[lament quartz]

No I mean

If he tries to check the version

There'll be the new one

But binaries are old

[rich badge]

@meager oar do you have python installed

[rich badge]

Some of them are updated

[lament quartz]

Maybe the important ones are old

[meager oar]

Yea installed all the patches using it

[rich badge]

@meager oar Can you run this

It compares your game files (important ones) to mine

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d735eadc08d5fa58ee1ed72ee3c6743f45e00dd65b3e1c967c2acbd4ecfba98b

[meager oar]

Right now not on my PC gonna try later if I can

[lament quartz]

Imagine if the hl2 RTX will be with dlss 3.5

That'll be a triple kill

[rich badge]

3.5*

[lament quartz]

And new RTX remix version

And new dlss

And omg MATERIALS

Pbr

[lament quartz]

Yeah mistyped, thanks

[half viper]

I knew i recognized that name

[rich badge]

@half viper Can you try this when available?

[lament quartz]

If It'll work for me, I want to make some materials and dig a little bit into it

I'm interested

[keen rivet]

Hey I know you!

The patches will fix that

@lament quartz you’re the guy who made the other CSM addon lol

i always wanted to meet you lol because that addon inspired my csm addon

[lament quartz]

дэймн..

[lament quartz]

What patches actually?

[lament quartz]

Nice to meet you! 🥰

[half viper]

Is it possible to check the differences between gmod's stdshaderdx7 and portal rtx?

Goddamn it i really don't know why it continues to crash

[lament quartz]

Maybe check the bytes difference

[half viper]

Me when I'm 100% clueless in reverse engineering:

[lament quartz]

Hehe

Same

[lament quartz]

ok i discovered that i can render whole gm_bigcity without crashin

it crashes only when i see the right down map corner

if it's just in my cameras perspective way

and not exactly the corner, but something in that way

because i flied away and rendered the whole map

 ERROR: failed to create vertex decl for vertex format 0x00000000! You'll probably see messed-up mesh rendering - to diagnose, build shaderapidx9.dll in debug.

[keen rivet]

[keen rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/csm-real-csm-realcsm-xenthio-glitches-gif-1640274726689165148

i made this addon

inspired by your one

[lament quartz]

already patched

[keen rivet]

oh hmm

the crashing shouldnt happen then

[lament quartz]

ok it's working without skybox

[keen rivet]

oh

i remember

[lament quartz]

if i use map without skybox

[keen rivet]

theres another dll that helps

[lament quartz]

oh yeah??

from portal?

[keen rivet]

theres a dll from portal rtx that helps

yeah

[lament quartz]

aaah

no, i can't launch gmod with it

stdshader_dx7

[keen rivet]

these

[lament quartz]

it shows the loading screen on game launch and crashes at the end

[keen rivet]

oh

on your garrysmod/garrysmod/bin

delete game_shader_generic_garrysmod

thatll fix that crash

[lament quartz]

already did that

[keen rivet]

make sure steam didnt add it back

[lament quartz]

it didn't

it crashes only when i spawn a light

or see a specific point on skybox

[keen rivet]

here's my launch config and stuff

might help

[lament quartz]

hl2.exe -steam -game garrysmod -window -noborder -w 1920 -h 1080 -condebug -dev -insecure -dxlevel 70 +sv_cheats 1 +mat_dxlevel 70 +r_forcenovis 0 +mat_disable_d3d9ex 1 +mat_softwarelighting 0 +mat_queue_mode 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  +r_DrawDisp 0

here's mine

[keen rivet]

i also have this

which is another version of mine

[lament quartz]

crahes on map load

i think the same skybox problem

[keen rivet]

hmm

i cant remember what else i did

because i dont crash anymore

[lament quartz]

yup works fine

without skybox

nothing changed with your config

[keen rivet]

what if you use shaderapidx9 from portal rtx

[lament quartz]

it crashes immideatly

even does not showing loading screen

can i dm you?

[keen rivet]

sure

@fringe ingot i reckon a gmod update broke your patcher

[lament quartz]

understandable

[fringe ingot]

which patch?

[keen rivet]

shaderapidx9 seems to be the one complaining

[lament quartz]

wow

you have the same exact error

so Garry broke something?

[fringe ingot]

I'll look into it tomorrow

[keen rivet]

@lament quartz for now launching in dx7 mode seems to bypass it

[lament quartz]

im already launching it in dx7 mode

it crashes only when you see specific point in the skybox

if you launch a map without skybox it'll work just fine

[keen rivet]

oh hmm

[lament quartz]

read my prev messages

[keen rivet]

well it fixes the crash in every other map for me

[lament quartz]

oh

understandable

[keen rivet]

@lament quartz also try disabling all your addons too

that might help

[lament quartz]

i have no addons

at all

only gm_bigcity map

maybe the problem is that im on linux

but portal rtx and prelude works just fine

[keen rivet]

sounds like something has changed in gmod then

[lament quartz]

hm, you did not made a backup of files right?

i need to downgrade gmod somehow then

[half viper]

@keen rivet stdshaderdx7 itself crashes the game

But for some reason it works for @rich badge

[rich badge]

Are you on PC

[half viper]

Sadly nope

Not home yet

[lament quartz]

btw i did copared the gmod's stdshaderdx7 with a portal ones

and that was a useless thing

cuz it's sooo different

[rich badge]

?

I don't get what you mean

[lament quartz]

i compared hex data

there's some similarities

but also different as hell

i have no idea how does reverse engineering works btw

[meager oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDV0bhA4yxc

[half viper]

Btw why the sky isnt marked as one?

[meager oar]

wat does that mean?

does it fix the skybox coming inside the map?

[half viper]

No like

[half viper]

You unmarked the sky textures?

In the video

[meager oar]

yea to get nightime

[half viper]

In sky parameters you can turn down the brightness

[meager oar]

yea i did that but the sunlight is still there thats why i just unchecked it

[half viper]

Fair enough

[lament quartz]

you can change the sunlight color

to make it darker

[meager oar]

oh i didnt think about that

[lament quartz]

and make a moonlight i think

[meager oar]

also is there a way to make the camera not fall due to the shock waves of the nukes?

[lament quartz]

idk maybe you can weld it to the ground

[lament quartz]

ok guys

there's some problems with a new gmod version

the old gmod version works perfect

i even launched gm_constract!

it was not possible for me

[lament quartz]

amazing

i love it!

[half viper]

How old?

[lament quartz]

2023.08.21

[half viper]

Wait

Is this before lightmap surfaces got phong support?

[lament quartz]

idk, i didn't checked the changelog

i love this

[half viper]

Me too!

[rich badge]

You mean the simphys?

[lament quartz]

the game looks so much better

[rich badge]

car thing

[lament quartz]

i mean the graphics

[half viper]

Btw see #1096847508002590760 if you want to learn materials replacement @lament quartz

[lament quartz]

yeah i want this

[half viper]

Its a bit tedious without tools

[rich badge]

Yeah we need someone to remaster all these mess

[lament quartz]

is it possible to make assets from linux?

or you need a windows tools?

[lament quartz]

okie dokie i'll try to do some stuff, i have and sdxl on my machine

[rich badge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqvS96z_3cw

[lament quartz]

maybe i can automate some processess

[rich badge]

There is a tool for that

[lament quartz]

oooh

[half viper]

Omniverse is not required at all actually

[rich badge]

PBR Chain and chainner

[lament quartz]

at this point i need more info

it'll actually be amazing to do this without omniverse

[rich badge]

Why

[lament quartz]

i prefer nogui methods

[half viper]

Linux

[lament quartz]

if i understand correctly

[half viper]

Me who uses notepad to make and edit USDA files:
🧑‍🦲

[rich badge]

It is available on linux

https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/omniverse-open-beta-now-available-for-linux/

[lament quartz]

oh

[lament quartz]

wait is that possible?

[rich badge]

Yeah you can totally do that

[lament quartz]

oh

oh really

[rich badge]

The game will reload assets if you change the mod.usda

[rich badge]

You need something else to convert usd files to usda(plain text) however

[lament quartz]

oh sh*t

the capture data is in sda?

ugh

[rich badge]

I am sure there is some sort of a python script for that, if there is not you can write one using this library https://pypi.org/project/usd-core/

[rich badge]

The individuals are usd

[lament quartz]

ok and what is dds?

[rich badge]

Texture format

[lament quartz]

i can see some textures btw

[rich badge]

You need to encode textures with correct format https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1111273025657114654

[lament quartz]

okie

i need to experement

[rich badge]

You can use chainner

you should*

[lament quartz]

but not on this weekends, and not today

and packaged data located in .pkg file?

[rich badge]

There is official builds for debian and fedora but aur too definetely has that

[rich badge]

no?

[lament quartz]

💀

i mean like, the mod's data

[rich badge]

Oh

[lament quartz]

textures, materials

[compact blaze]

How’s everyone doin today, hopefully y’all are doin well?

[rich badge]

You need to structure the mod with folders

[lament quartz]

uhm

[rich badge]

I am fine how are you doing?

[lament quartz]

good and you?

[rich badge]

Wait I will explain

[lament quartz]

sorry, english is not my native lang

[rich badge]

not about the language I thought you have a pkg file in you captures folder 😄

[lament quartz]

i have one in mods folder from prelude btw

[compact blaze]

I’m happy y’all are doin well, still been very bored, tired and depressed lol

[rich badge]

Is everything ok?

[compact blaze]

Nah not really, been depressed since like early 2021 lol

@lament quartz you’re the guy that made that cpu ray tracer for gmod ye?

[rich badge]

What are you doing these days

[lament quartz]

yeah

[compact blaze]

Idk tbh, don’t really feel comfortable talking about my personal life

[compact blaze]

Sick, didn’t you have like a server where you made fake steam links that’d redirect to Rick rolls or was that someone else?

[rich badge]

@lament quartz
Create the following directories inside rtx-remix folder:
mods/gameReadyAssets/mod.usda
mods/gameReadyAssets/SubUSDs
Here you should put the materials AperturePBR_*.mdl into SubUSDs folder. You might want to put it SubUSDs/materials instead for better structuring
Create a SubUSDs/textures folder, you will definetely need that since there is multiple texture files for each material
You might also create folders for SubUSDs/meshes and SubUSDs/lights depending on your preference.

[lament quartz]

That was not me

Idk who are you talking about

[lone arch]

i think i remember where it is but my memory is too blurry for that

[lament quartz]

I made an rpg server in nier automata like style

[lament quartz]

Okay so you need to create a material file and write a texture dirs there right?

Is it possible to edit MDL as a text?

ачо ты хочешь с ним сделать?

[lament quartz]

I don't speak Russian

Ich spreche deutsch und Englisch

Keine russische Sprache

[rich badge]

You need to find the material you wan't to replace from captures/textures

[lament quartz]

Wait, find?

Wdym?

I can't create my own?

[lament quartz]

шо

[rich badge]

You can add a child mesh to an existing one (if it is stable, in this case terrain only) then you can assign material to it

I think it is better you use the Omniverse Create to get an idea of the process

[lament quartz]

Ok I'll try by myself

[lament quartz]

Шутка у меня такая

[rich badge]

Sorry, there is no documentation other than https://openusd.org/release/glossary.html which is for usd format not remix specific variables.

[lament quartz]

Я немецкий плохо знаю по факту

[lament quartz]

Oh ok

I'll try by myself, still thanks

[rich badge]

After using it for a while or by inspecting others you can get an idea

[lament quartz]

Maybe it will be possible to capture the textures and then automate the materials processing

[rich badge]

Yes they already did that with chainner 🙂

[lament quartz]

Oh

[rich badge]

https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1129194028315988098

[lament quartz]

Why nobody did this with Gmod?

[lament quartz]

No I mean actually process everything in the folder, to do automatic mod

[rich badge]

This extracts the textures from the game then you can use chainner to give them generated pbrs to edit later

Oops

The extracting textures part is not there

[lament quartz]

I mean, make a script that automates the process of mod creation

Like you just run it, it does all the job for you

Materials and textures part of course

If it possible to edit materials as a text

So, it'll be possible I think

[rich badge]

I think nobody wants to spend time creating something big that'll be obsete as toolkit releases

[lament quartz]

I want

💀

I already did something similar but with only an upscaler, so I need to generate a textures for PBR and make a material for them

If it's possible to edit material as a text, as I said before, it'll be awesome

And easier

Ok, I'll have no access to the pc on this weekends, so, no developing right now

[rich badge]

It is possible but you'll need variety of tools which will make the process tedious. This is why there is a toolkit which combines them all in a simpler and more straightforward workflow

[lament quartz]

Cuz RTX gpu is on my working pc at my job

[lament quartz]

Still Worth to try

And I'm interested

[lament quartz]

So nothing can't stop me

Except for weekends

[half viper]

I think mdl files can be opened with notepad

[lament quartz]

Подожди, ты русский?

[lament quartz]

I hope so

[half viper]

Nuh uh

I just like strelok

[lament quartz]

Oh

[rich badge]

Wait you won't edit materials that way

[half viper]

https://tenor.com/view/strelok-gif-26242052

[lament quartz]

There's a Russian word "strelok"

[half viper]

I know lol

[rich badge]

They should be read-only unless you know exactly what're you doing

[lament quartz]

Oh

[lament quartz]

Let it burn

[half viper]

Oh also
Dxvk is open source sooo

[lament quartz]

Oh yeah I saw that

[half viper]

Shaders are there too :3

[rich badge]

?

[lament quartz]

Oh yeah?

Wait, hlsl ones?

[lament quartz]

Wait REALLY???

If they in hlsl format

That's a fire

[rich badge]

GLSL

[lament quartz]

Wooow

[rich badge]

It's vulkan

[lament quartz]

That's a fire too

[half viper]

src/dxvk/shaders

[lament quartz]

I prefer glsl more cuz OpenGL is my first 3D lib

[half viper]

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix

[rich badge]

What are you planning to do with them

[half viper]

Actually no it uses slang

Not glsl

[lament quartz]

Nothing, but it's still a fire

[half viper]

https://github.com/shader-slang/slang

[lament quartz]

Oh

Never touched a slang

[half viper]

We need a blackhole shader!
For the strider wormhole cannon :3

[rich badge]

Good idea

[lament quartz]

Huh

[lament quartz]

Isn't that a refraction?

You need a custom shader for this?

[half viper]

https://youtu.be/_s01oUxTG5I?feature=shared

This would be cool

[lament quartz]

Oh that way

[rich badge]

Interstellar in real time

@half viper Do you have experience in shader programming

[lament quartz]

The game uses a particle with a refraction material, can't we path trace just a refraction without shaders editing?

[compact blaze]

woah that looks so cool, how does that not tank fps?

[lament quartz]

Or it's not possible?

[half viper]

Sadly no

[lament quartz]

I have

[rich badge]

It's not refraction

[half viper]

I have theoretical understanding of shaders and path tracing as a whole

But i cant write anything

[lament quartz]

But can be imitated with a refraction

As did source engine

[rich badge]

No you need to simulate relativistic nature of space time and gravity

[lament quartz]

Oh god nooo

I need to write a simulation of time and space in a shader?

What a great slang language

[rich badge]

Not sure about that

[compact blaze]

can it run in real time at least? not asking for much i think

[lament quartz]

You will need a quantum processor with 32 qubits, sorry

[rich badge]

https://youtu.be/_s01oUxTG5I This is real-time

[compact blaze]

damn, maybe if i run at a lower res and lower texture quality?

[lament quartz]

Yeah I think that will work 👍🏼

[lament quartz]

A hyper realistic worm hole

He's a Genius

[rich badge]

@lament quartz Some gmod addons don't get rendered in dx7 mode

Is a quick modification enough or you need to rewrite entire thing in mind

[lament quartz]

Okie dokie

[rich badge]

All of them has some sort of fake specular lightning

Like MW sweps

I wonder if that's the cause

[rich badge]

?

[lament quartz]

Or a camera that renders a zoomed view for a scope 💀

[lament quartz]

Just okie

[half viper]

Btw remix doesn't support multiple cameras/render targets

[rich badge]

I don't mean that, the entire model is invisible

[rich badge]

Yet

[half viper]

This is why the 3dsky is fucked

[rich badge]

A weapon a vehicle

[lament quartz]

Yeah I understood, I've just mean that it does not render a multiple cameras with path tracing

[rich badge]

Oh that makes sense

[lament quartz]

That will be an fps killer

I think

[rich badge]

Quake II had it and it didn't kill the FPS

[lament quartz]

Multiple cameras render?

[half viper]

Nvidia magic

[rich badge]

Yes but in much lower res

[lament quartz]

Quake 2 works much faster for me even without dlss

[rich badge]

The camera room

[lament quartz]

And I can't say the same thing for RTX remix

[lament quartz]

Aaaah

[rich badge]

I don't know the skybox but a magnified optic won't hurt it

[lament quartz]

Yeah cuz that's a refraction

[rich badge]

Actually we could use the portal shader to create a faked one

[rich badge]

Oh or we could model lenses

[compact blaze]

@lament quartz yo i wanna ask what gpu do ya have?

[lament quartz]

Let the light strike through your monitor

😎

[lament quartz]

RTX 3080

[rich badge]

cries with 2060

[compact blaze]

nice, hope rtx remix games are able to run for ya, my poor mobile rtx 3060 with its 6-8 gigs of vram

[rich badge]

You haven't decided on the vram yet 🙂

[compact blaze]

i cant be asked to check

i just know its inbetween that

[rich badge]

The task manager should view that

[compact blaze]

@rich badge i checked and its only 6 gigs of vram

[rich badge]

Performance monitor

[rich badge]

sad

[lament quartz]

Oh bro, I jumped from GTX950 to 1650, and now, finally, I have an 3080

But before all that I was on gt610

At the time when there was an 1080 already

[rich badge]

I jumped from a 2th gen i3 igpu to an equally old amd dgpu on a laptop then a desktop pc with 2060

[lament quartz]

On my main pc I still have i5 3570

But I gonna upgrade it soon

Idk what CPU to buy btw

[rich badge]

I will upgrade when NVIDIA announces real-tracing

[lament quartz]

I will upgrade cuz I that'll be a shame using 3080 in a pair with i5 3570

[rich badge]

It is a war crime

[lament quartz]

Wow, I love my job, my boss allowed me to buy rtx3080 from him with a really low price, and now I used it in work pc now

On the job yeah

[lament quartz]

Looks like a foil

[rich badge]

It is beacuse of wave like nature of light and quantum entanglement of photons

[lament quartz]

Hehehe

You're awesome dude

Ok brb

[meager oar]

da heck is real traced

[meager oar]

🔥

[rich badge]

Simulates quantum physics

[lament quartz]

Btw

[lament quartz]

Does the health HUD is drawing normally for you?

[rich badge]

It was before updating to newest dxvk

Try to mark it as ui

Oh wait it still does

I am sure that wasn't the case yesterday

[lament quartz]

I'm just looking at my screenshots

And yeah

There's no health

[lament quartz]

@lament quartz что вообще собираешься делать с ремиксом?

[lament quartz]

Хочу сделать скрипт который автоматически будет создавать материалы для ремикса на основе собранной ремиксом записи игры

то есть облегчить создание материалов?

[rich badge]

Guys please keep the conversation in english when possible so we can understand what are you talking about 🙂

[lament quartz]

he wants to make a script that will automatically create materials for the remix based on the capture

[lament quartz]

I've told em about it already

[lament quartz]

No problems m8

[lament quartz]

Aga

[lament quartz]

Btw isn't the Gmod has a specular and normal maps already?

[rich badge]

There is no use for specular maps

[lament quartz]

I've seen them in some models I think

[rich badge]

Normals maps aren't available in dx7 mode

[lament quartz]

Aaaaaah

That makes sense

[rich badge]

You achieve specularity with roughness and metalness maps

[lament quartz]

Yeah makes sense

[rich badge]

You could extraxt them from the game files but then you'll need to re encode it to octahedral

And this is an offline process, addons won't have them if you don't manually do

[lament quartz]

Wow that's a bit complicated for normals

What is the benefit from this solution?

[rich badge]

sorry for saying this again and again but if you want to bulk process textures you need to use chainner

[rich badge]

The benefit is that this is the only solution 😄

If you don't want to create normals by yourself

[lament quartz]

I want to make it myself 💀

[rich badge]

Yeah since the original ones are probably low res

We need 4k normals

[lament quartz]

Yeah probably

Ok ok

Maybe chainner will be easier

[lament quartz]

finally, cum traced

[lament quartz]

Cum tracing

[half viper]

You can actually use ogl and dx normal maps

But the benefits of octahedral normals maps is that (afair) they preserve details more+ it uses 2 channels only

[meager oar]

Is there a button to turn rtx on and off Simultaneously like in other RT games?

In gmod

[lament quartz]

Yeah that will be cool

[meager oar]

Would be easy making Comp videos

[lament quartz]

But I can't even imagine how Gmod will look in dx7 without any effects and shadows

Like a soapy potato

[lament quartz]

You turning off ( lightmaps I think ) and other effects in launch parameters so

I think that will look ugly

[meager oar]

Yea I realized that

[lament quartz]

But I want this feature too

[meager oar]

Also this time I checked the skybox but changed the lighting to darken the map like you said

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PDm-o_Oa5r4

[half viper]

@lament quartz you need the debug version of remix

[lament quartz]

The debug version has it?

[half viper]

Ya

[lament quartz]

Thanks

[compact blaze]

Where are we able to get the debug version?

[half viper]

Github

[compact blaze]

Could u send a link if u could pls?

[rich badge]

Github actions

where you used to download latest builds

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/actions/runs/5944791459

[compact blaze]

Idk what ur talking about, I’m a dummy sry :(

[compact blaze]

Ah ok ty ty, sorry for bein dumb lol

[rich badge]

Please don't say and-or think like that, you probably haven't did this before, it has nothing to do with dumbness

[compact blaze]

I apologize, I’ll try my best not to be so negative of myself

[rich badge]

Apologize to yourself mate

[lament quartz]

I hope usd files can be downloaded from the workshop

in the future when there will be a full release

[rich badge]

You mean addons with remastered assets or just installing the base mod?

[lament quartz]

addons with remastered assets

[lament quartz]

Is lua has access to Gmod's root folder?

[rich badge]

Does it?

[lament quartz]

And steam workshop does not accept unknown file formats

[lament quartz]

If I remember properly yes

[rich badge]

Nevermind this is far from our goals right now

At worst a companion app should work

[lament quartz]

Idk if it's possible to just rename the usd file to PNG or lua and upload it

[rich badge]

Wow is it that easy

[lament quartz]

If so, then we can write a lua script that will parse addons files in specific directory for usd file

Then moves them

And rename them to usd

[lament quartz]

Idk if this possible tho

[rich badge]

It's not something we should worry about yet

[wanton scarab]

You can't write files outside the data folder

[lament quartz]

Thanks

I didn't touch a Gmod for a really long time

[lament quartz]

I thought there was a multiple available dirs

Yeah you can

Sad noises

[rich badge]

Wait if content argument is string how are you supposed to write binary?

[lament quartz]

Ok, it's rtx remix so user installs it not through Workshop, so we can use additional scripts for that

[lament quartz]

Strings yeah, but you can write a PNG as a string too, so

Hm, maybe it'll be possible to write file like a file.usd.txt for example

And then with additional scripts remove the txt extension at the end

I need to test that

Will be funny if Gmod's lua will check the extension by splitting by dots and getting the second element in list

That will be an usd

Ok I just need some testing

[wanton scarab]

Reading only

I know some addon was writing objs as xml or whatever and parsing that when loading

I think it might have been the infinite map base

[lament quartz]

Yeah I see now

[lament quartz]

Maybe create some binary module for that

I have no problems with cpp so

[wanton scarab]

forcing people to install random dlls is sus

[rich badge]

It won't be included in the addon will be

[wanton scarab]

you cant include dlls in workshop addons

[rich badge]

Then this is not an issue, users will know what they are installing

Everything will be open source mind you

[lament quartz]

Oh, don't worry, I thought to make an closed source installer that will install a dll files and replace hl2.exe file to patched one

And everything is proprietary

[lament quartz]

Nyahahaha

[lament quartz]

i've added a normal map, roughness, metalness, but they are not affected the image

[rich badge]

#1108266959763685458 message

[lament quartz]

i can replace the texture

i mean, the normal maps does not affect the image

[rich badge]

normal maps must be octahedral encoded

[lament quartz]

they are

i've used chaiNNer

is there's some replacements file example?

[rich badge]

Does others work?

roughness

metallic

etc.

[lament quartz]

yeah diffuse is working

others are not

[rich badge]

Are their formats correct ? https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1111273025657114654

[lament quartz]

yup

i think i did something wrong in replacements file

[rich badge]

You're on omniverse usd composer?

[lament quartz]

do you have an example?

[lament quartz]

nope, doing by hands

[rich badge]

Damn

Why not use a VM

[lament quartz]

yup

[lament quartz]

i have no space on my pc

[rich badge]

You'll need GPU passthrough

[lament quartz]

why?

i need a vm

[lament quartz]

single GPU passthrough

[rich badge]

Omniverse only works with rtx branded gpu s

[lament quartz]

that's a pain

ok

i'll try to make it work

still thanks!

[rich badge]

Here's an example

[lament quartz]

oooh thanks

that's what i needed

[rich badge]

This is for translucent materials

[lament quartz]

thanks!

[lament quartz]

yup i see

[rich badge]

None of those have metallic property afair so

[lament quartz]

yeah i have one

from prelude

upscaling some textures

a little bit more time and i'll upscale all gm_bigcity textures

then generate textures for pbr

and automatically create replacements file

im interested what this workflow will throw to me

i like those textures

[lament quartz]

Wooow

that's TOO reflective

i like it

[torpid fable]

How you doing this?

[rich badge]

With roughness maps ??

metallic maybe

[torpid fable]

Oh, thanks, i try it

[lament quartz]

hl3

[rich badge]

Damn this is fast

[lament quartz]

i already did all

[lament quartz]

it's already was done when i sened first image

[half viper]

Make the windows completely reflective!

[lament quartz]

Yeah i'll try

that was automated script

but i think i can edit by hands

i'm upscaling some textures

[half viper]

They look absolutely weird lol

[lament quartz]

yeah

but i like that

[half viper]

The paint being peeled off would be a great normal map opportunity 😳

[lament quartz]

everything is upscaled now!

now pbr

quality is yea

[lament quartz]

i've upscaled everything and made every window reflective

[half viper]

Show!

[lament quartz]

now it's converting to dds

that will take some time

yeah i made a scripts for everything

by everything i mean a conversion ( at this moment )

i want to load an ai models to upscale a textures and generating pbr materials

roughness and metalness is cheated in your's chainner

so i can too

maybe cheat with normals too, why not

and just upscale with a model

convert back to dds

and write to replacements

automatically

and done! automatically remixed!

51%

[meager oar]

bruh why is discord so laggy today

[lament quartz]

yeah can confirm

[rich badge]

Can I have a look

[lament quartz]

.

there's nothing special

some shitty code

[meager oar]

wattt!!! i want tat

[lament quartz]

i will rewrite this in the future

wait, i'll send it

but be prepared, it's shitty as hell!

[meager oar]

dang theres even shadows in it

[rich badge]

Up axis of gmod is z btw

[meager oar]

tat luks cool!

[rich badge]

You have the upAxis = "Y" from my mod.usda, it was for another game 🙂

[lament quartz]

upscaled with this model
https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-x4-upscaler

[lament quartz]

oh, ok

thanks

[rich badge]

I can't believe how stable diffusion wrecked Dall-E and now it is one of the top 2 image generators

[lament quartz]

hehehe

i have a sdxl model on my pc

with refiner

[rich badge]

Power of foss I guess

[lament quartz]

YEA

wait

from wand import image
import os
from tqdm import tqdm

for x in tqdm( os.listdir("../rtx-remix/mods/gameReadyAssets/SubUSDs/textures/diffuse/"), desc="Converting..." ):
    if x.endswith(".dds"):
        try:
            with image.Image(filename=f"../rtx-remix/mods/gameReadyAssets/SubUSDs/textures/diffuse/{x}") as img:
                img.compression = "dxt5"
                img.save(filename=f"../rtx-remix/mods/gameReadyAssets/SubUSDs/processing/diffuse/{x.replace('dds','png')}")

        except Exception as e:
            pass

this im using to convert from dds to png

then edit them, upscale and etc

then back with write.py script

that will automatically write to replacements

[rich badge]

You converting to dds back with chainner right?

[lament quartz]

nope, im converting in my own script to edit them before conversion

and i want to throw chainner away so

oh and yeah i can't convert to dds in chainner btw

[rich badge]

Don't forget to set the correct formats though https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1111273025657114654

[rich badge]

?

Why

[lament quartz]

it says that i need a windows lol

oh it's converted btw

TIME TO FIRE

[rich badge]

Damn

[meager oar]

are only default hl2 textures upscaled or CSS, TF2, EP2 and etc also upscaled?

[rich badge]

I think he is doing it by map basis

[lament quartz]

upscaled a small part of hl2 textures

only every texture that bigcity map uses

[meager oar]

i see

[lament quartz]

wait

is white color in roughness means that it will be more reflective?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1013018448273621013.webp?size=48&name=illegallyblindivar&quality=lossless

i think i'm swaped the colors

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1136190927346597918.webp?size=48&name=AL_doge_kek&quality=lossless

[rich badge]

vice versa

(0-Black-Smooth) ----------------------------- (1-White-Rough)

[lament quartz]

ooooh

yeah i messed up

hahahaha

[rich badge]

No problem just reverse the colors 🙂

[lament quartz]

yeah i'll make everythin

[lone arch]

is that good as topaz?

[lament quartz]

didn't used topaz

[lament quartz]

now it should be reflective

[rich badge]

Noice

[rich badge]

Are you using metallic maps?

[lament quartz]

yup

[rich badge]

Don't use metallic maps for something that is not metal

[half viper]

@lament quartz did you generate normal maps for the windows?

[lament quartz]

Yeah

[half viper]

That would look really weird on a surface that is made of glass

[lament quartz]

not i am

but chainner

[lament quartz]

yeeeah

exactly

[half viper]

Well, ms paint my beloved :3

[lament quartz]

#showcase message

[half viper]

You can manually edit it

[lament quartz]

later

[half viper]

Okie
Can't wait to go back to modding gmod

[lament quartz]

and i upscaled everything

yaaay

[rich badge]

You make addons too ?

I surrender

[half viper]

Very simple addons

But i meant rtx remix stuff lol

[lament quartz]

everything turned soap

[rich badge]

You guys know that we could place fake rooms (pure visual) with mesh replacements right?

Similar to UE5 matrix demo

That would take forever lol

[half viper]

@lament quartz what settings are you on+ resolution?

[half viper]

Hey its better to turn off chromatic aberration

It always ends up ugly

[lament quartz]

Okie, thanks
