Garry's Mod

[night bramble]

probably different pathing
so pip or no pip?

[night bramble]

I cannot load into the map I'm making replacements in anymore.

Just get stuck on "Ready to Play", then gmod soft crashes.

or it gets stuck on loading world

it only gets stuck on ready to play if enhancements are enabled it seems.

And oddly usda changes are no longer live

[meager oar]

Yea I need to first disable enhancements and then join a map, need to do the same thing for enhanced props

Bridge crashes for me I can still hear my self walking and doing things but the screen is frozen

[rich badge]

Damn I am alone again

You guys regularly update remix?

@night bramble Is gm_construct runs fine on you?

[meager oar]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3029795487

[night bramble]

Yeah I'm on latest as of yesterday

[night bramble]

Now I can't get octo-tex to work.
Very fun

Had to edit the code again

[night bramble]

Now more code is broke wtf

[night bramble]

Ok figured out what is broke

another logic error

issue time

If anyone decides to use octotex make sure there is a folder (even if it's empty) in rtx-remix/mods.
Otherwise code no work as existing.

[night bramble]

Gotta figure out how to make sun work or perhaps make a sun?

[night bramble]

So I did a material replacement

and the skybox doesn't show through windows as long as it is set as a sky texture

[night bramble]

Hey @lament quartz I noticed that the roughness and metalness maps generated by the tool seem to be unusable, unreadable, and unviewable?
Anyone else having this issue?

Gonna try to regenerate them

The png's are fine btw, just not the .dds

[lament quartz]

Check the write script

Does it imports PIL or Wand?

[night bramble]

Just re-ran write.py gonna check the .dds now

[meager oar]

dang

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEBU-YMEuTI

[lament quartz]

Check your log file

There's should be errors

[night bramble]

Yeah something is wrong now because it won't even write to a new mod anymore

[lament quartz]

That's ok

It thought that it wrote the files

You need to disable hash checking

[night bramble]

btw logs are EMPTY

[lament quartz]

Comment the lines

[lament quartz]

Then that's ok

Comment the lines and try again

[night bramble]

For hashing checks in write.py?

[lament quartz]

Like that it will write without checking

[lament quartz]

Yup

[night bramble]

👍

I have to rerun everything rq and I'll ping you when I get a result.

[lament quartz]

Why?

[night bramble]

I think somehow because I recaptured it just refused to re-write the .png's

Even if I made a new mod it would instantly complete the writing without actually doing anything

[lament quartz]

Nono

It just saved the hashes of your PNG files

So if the PNG files are not edited

It will not write them back as dds

Just try to comment the lines with hash checking

And try to write again

[night bramble]

I did, but it still wasn't doing anything at all so I'm re-running everything from scratch.
It was doing the same when I tried running write.py after noticing the invalid .dds files.

[lament quartz]

Hmm

[night bramble]

To clarify, all the .dds were present in SubUSD's folder, but there were all invalid.

[lament quartz]

Strange

[night bramble]

Only the diffuse maps and normal maps were valid .dds able to be read and used.

the roughness and metalness were all invalid .dds.
There weren't blank or anything, they all had file sizes, but were unusable.

so no preview, no thumbnail, and cannot be opened in software or by usd composer.

@lament quartz Re-ran after getting fresh textures and it just instantly completes, only generating a blank mod.

ah wait I'm missing something

Ok stand by it's running now.
I missed the if statements when commenting out hashing.

Alrighty

Same issue with hashing disabled if the above is correct

diffuse

metalness

normals

roughness

Logs aren't empty this time

It's just this a couple hundred times and that one format error.

idk where it's getting 'already' from since it's commented out but :/

@lament quartz
I think that's all the info for a complete process now.

Once again all processed png's are valid.

[lament quartz]

Ok try to comment all lines with "im.conver

And try run again the write script

I hope it'll help

[night bramble]

Running now.

[lament quartz]

How's it going?

[night bramble]

Running as normal currently

It's currently generating VALID .dds

in all texture categories for pbr

[lament quartz]

Interesting

Thanks

[night bramble]

so looks like img.convert is a culprit.

btw is this multithreaded

[lament quartz]

Yeah

[lament quartz]

Nope

Oh that's a good idea btw

[night bramble]

Thought so as I saw no threading code

[lament quartz]

I didn't thought about multi threading

[night bramble]

FYI it's a pain to sync tqdm with threading

I've done it before but it required some loopholing and workarounds

[lament quartz]

I'll do that

Don't worry

❤️

[night bramble]

you have to have like a master and slave thread it's interesting

otherwise threading just generates a progress bar for each thread

actually that wasn't my main issue

my main issue was I needed to communicate between threads

which is just ☠️

[lament quartz]

Can you show the screenshots after PBR generation? I'm interested in what you trying to do

[night bramble]

like in-game?

[lament quartz]

Yeah

[lament quartz]

🥰

[night bramble]

just seeing how it works really, but I did do a window material replacement since transparent textures can't have transparent reflections through PBR alone.

so you can only have mirror like objects with the default opacity.mdl

if you want a window pane with any translucency you gotta swap to the translucent.mdl

like how the gmod windows are in your screenshots, more like mirrors.

[lament quartz]

Thanks

I'll try to do something with this

[night bramble]

Idk if maybe you can use the detection for reflectiveness in your texture conversion for roughness to make a flag telling the script to make a usda edit to the material hash to set the .mdl to translucent?

but that also requires checking the diffuse/transmittance value and setting the diffuse .dds there.

if you want the original window texture to be preserved in the case of a decal.

[lament quartz]

I'll figure out how to do that

[night bramble]

it wouldn't work on every window though so I'd avoid the last part.

would have to experiment.

[lament quartz]

God I'm sleepy as hell now

[night bramble]

conversion just finished

[lament quartz]

The best part actually

[night bramble]

lemme hop in and get a pic after swapping windows material

[lament quartz]

❤️

[night bramble]

it's super easy now to material swap

and a good amount of hashes are stable but I need to check that across maps.

can't tell if the hash changes are from lod's in some cases.

or if that's even a thing when hashes are involved

composer just yelled at me for

when loading the textures

no clue what that means

[lament quartz]

Wth

What is composer?

Is it something in omniverse?

[night bramble]

yes

it's how you do the replacements and such

without text editing of course

[lament quartz]

💀

[night bramble]

loading up game will show the default pbr vs material change vs material change with original diffuse

these are on dlss ultra perf btw because with composer open I don't have enough vram for anything else

trying to figure out getting a sun in the map as well

[meager oar]

Try to bounce in and out of the ground using noclip

[lone arch]

going to install the gmod again

[lone arch]

damn i have portal rtx orginal and prelude but i dont have storage enough plus my internet is shit (only can up to 1mb previously was 1.8mb but after repair some reason it downgraded and i dont find it normal)

[meager oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OemNr6tQqOw in gmod

[rich badge]

Why would you need multithreading?

[lone arch]

whats wrong with multithreading?

[lament quartz]

Faster loading, faster PBR generation and writing

[rich badge]

Aren't you generating pbr on the gpu?

[lament quartz]

Of course not

I don't use shaders

[lament quartz]

But with shaders it'll be much easier

[rich badge]

I thought you're using some library to do that

[lament quartz]

I'm using numpy

But want to use shaders in the future

Or maybe jump straight to the neural network

[night bramble]

upscaling = gpu
pbr maps = cpu
writing = cpu

[night bramble]

do modded weapon/sweps just not work with remix?
The hands and guns will be invisible and when I look at a reflective surface my upper torso is stretched like spaghetti

[meager oar]

I think that is due to game being on dx7 some modded models will be invisible, Modern warfare base and gredwitch emplacements is a example.

[night bramble]

Yeah I saw that even old cod player models are invisible

like in the mw survival mode

[lament quartz]

ok now i can render with shaders

[rich badge]

MW base is a no go

I have a collection of unsupported mods

Accw and arc9 weapons are fine for the most part

My favourite is accw urban coalition

[night bramble]

Just looking for more realistic weapon sweps and anims really

[rich badge]

"realistic"

urban coalition's animation are good

I think some of them ripped from mw

If you want true realism you won't see hands slapping the bolt release

[night bramble]

what about tfa

just better weapons and ads mainly I want

[rich badge]

Tfa is fine also, but trust me urban coalition is better. It also has ads reloading

fewer but better crafted guns

[night bramble]

ok

grabbed em all

[rich badge]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3004327754
here, if you see a swap base (like mw) it means nothing using this swep works.

[night bramble]

gotcha

[rich badge]

If there is an individual weapon mod or something means the swep works but this particular weapon doesn't

[night bramble]

I think the number biggest thing for me is getting a flashlight working if anyone has figured that out.

Would make more maps playable

[rich badge]

If you know of other mods that doesn't work all together tell me I'll add

[rich badge]

We could slap a light to the mesh

requires manual work

[night bramble]

that would need a stable hash for the thing we slap it on though

and wouldn't that mean we'd have to hold something out as well?

[rich badge]

Mark said there was a command to prevent transforms on the cpu but I can't find it

[night bramble]

some hashes are stable just not all

like walls and weapons seem to be unstable but I have not tested with more than physgun

[rich badge]

animation base has a nice flaslight which has a visible model

[rich badge]

Terrain is stable 🙂

[night bramble]

hmm maybe the flickering colors in debug on walls isn't unstable?

[rich badge]

If it is flickering it is unstable

[night bramble]

oh ok

[rich badge]

Also I already tried that

I thought the same

[night bramble]

so preferably I'd want something like stock gmod flashlight

just turn on without holding something

[rich badge]

Alright slap the light to your view model then

[night bramble]

if I can get it to show in composer

[rich badge]

you animp base's flaslight to your shoulder afair

[rich badge]

It does? but it is unstable

[night bramble]

shoulder flashlight you said

[rich badge]

something like that, you weren't needed to hold it with your hand

[night bramble]

I'll check it out

wish I knew what caused the random loading screen freeze though

even happens with no addons

[rich badge]

[rich badge]

Is it on ssd

[night bramble]

yes

it does the thing were loading world is stuck on screen but your in map walking

[rich badge]

Ah so the bridge is crashing

Damn, there are a lot of bridge crashes happen

Are you on the latest build of bridge?

[night bramble]

as of like 2 days ago yeah

also how do I use c menu with tfa

only comes up with wep stats

[rich badge]

The gun might not have attachment slots?

[night bramble]

I mean like the menu with the player model things and other settings

normally it's c

but I have a weapon that I can't deselect or anything

oh wait I can use q

why is give not working though

It's just 'give weaponname' right?

[rich badge]

I am not an experienced gmod player 🙂

The last time played it was like 2 years ago

[night bramble]

Haven't really played in years yeah

[rich badge]

Installed just for the sake of remix

[night bramble]

google just says it's give weaponname so I'm confused

[rich badge]

The weapon wight have a weird name?

[night bramble]

It's literally the default crowbar

FUCK

sv_cheats didn't set to 1 for some reason

that's why

[rich badge]

Oh if you are doing that with a launch argument, it gets overridden when you load a map

just like mat_drawwater

[night bramble]

Also I'm always just spaghetti in my reflection lol

[rich badge]

Do you know if we can enable the world model in first person?

[night bramble]

I'm using a mod

[rich badge]

This way we could techically render it invisible to primary rays, and only visible to secondary rays

so you don't see it unless looking at a reflection

[night bramble]

although alex was using something for it and he wasn't spaghetti

[rich badge]

Is it gmod legs

[night bramble]

yes
i no want that I want other thing

it was in collection I tried woops

i no think enhanced camera work either

now just my arms are spaghetti

[lament quartz]

hes laughing at me

[night bramble]

lmao

tk moment

[night bramble]

got it

[rich badge]

how?

[night bramble]

ViewMod

[night bramble]

that's cool but I want faster load times 🙂

maybe I'll just add threading myself 👿

[lament quartz]

ok i can do faster load times without gui 💀

[night bramble]

import threading

[lament quartz]

ik bro

i'll do that

just wait

[night bramble]

IMPORT

[lament quartz]

❤️

[night bramble]

import grass

[lament quartz]

did you mean

touch grass?

[night bramble]

maybe

[compact blaze]

Can you do the cod Cold War guns?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2990670916

[night bramble]

trying to get that shoulder flashlight into composer

[night bramble]

the flashlight is not a stable hash

F

[half viper]

Hold e and c

[meager oar]

I use TFA insurgency weapons and TFA day of infamy Weapons if U want WW2 weapons as well both work

[rich badge]

Why do you guys love TFA base so much

Arcw and Arc9 are better crafted in my opinion

[rich badge]

It works yea, but there are only 3 guns

So does ArcW black ops guns

[compact blaze]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2926734724

maybe u can try this?

[rich badge]

I love this

Btw in ArcW you need to find the glass pane and mark it as sky texture in order to get holographic sights working

[compact blaze]

can u screen share it in vc?

[rich badge]

vc?

[compact blaze]

voice chat

[rich badge]

oh okay

[compact blaze]

https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1050546159434862702

like this

sry sry

[rich badge]

Is it working?

the screen share

[compact blaze]

ya i can see the screen share

can u get the ray gun?

@rich badge yes i can see the screen share

[rich badge]

so what do you want me to do

[compact blaze]

try get the ray gun

there's a ray gun here

[rich badge]

so what now

[compact blaze]

get the ray gun in the world at war section

[rich badge]

I got the wrong one first 🙂

[compact blaze]

@rich badge maybe u can mount portal rtx onto gmod and play it there?

[rich badge]

Idk

[compact blaze]

has anyone ever tried that?

[rich badge]

I will one sec

[compact blaze]

@rich badge https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3010465430

try this map too

[rich badge]

It will take a while

to copy replacements

they are on different drives

eta 2 minutes

[compact blaze]

@rich badge also for ur vram's sake try play on a low res with dlss performance, pls ur poor vram :(

like 720p or smth

[rich badge]

It already on dlss performance?

[compact blaze]

what res are u playing on?

[rich badge]

1080p

[compact blaze]

maybe try 720p?

[rich badge]

I paid for the whole vram, I'll use it all 🙂

[compact blaze]

damn

[rich badge]

Does it affect the stream?

If so I'll do

[lament quartz]

can you customize weapons?

[rich badge]

Which ones

[compact blaze]

nah it just hurts seeing how much vram remix is using

[rich badge]

Alright transaction complete

Hmm it doesn't get detected

Oops I move it to the wrong folder

one sec

[lament quartz]

any weapons

[rich badge]

Portal's mod still doesn't get detected

[compact blaze]

mount normal portal onto gmod then?

[rich badge]

?

[compact blaze]

check bottom right of the gmod main menu

and enable portal

[rich badge]

It won't work because replacements are not source engine mods

[compact blaze]

ik ik but, just try

it mounts portal onto gmod

which basically just takes the portal content u have downloaded

and puts it onto gmod

cause of how connected source is

[rich badge]

It doesn't detect because I don't have regular Portal installed :/

just the Portal RTX

they are separate

[compact blaze]

wait um

wait just one sec

Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\cfg

go here and open the mount text file

what drive is portal rtx in?

[rich badge]

D

[compact blaze]

sry if im being confusing

im just trying to show u how u can manually mount source games on gmod

[rich badge]

"portalrtx" "D:\Games\steamapps\common\PortalRTX" which folder inside PortalRTX I need to mount?

[compact blaze]

Steam\steamapps\common\PortalRTX\portal_rtx

remove these slashes

also can u show me how u did ur mounting?

[rich badge]

Oh it works now

[compact blaze]

oh sick

[compact blaze]

okay did it work?

[rich badge]

It doesn't get displayed on the mount menu but I am not in a map right now

[compact blaze]

its ok

its not supposed to

the mount menu is just for games approved by the devs i think

for easy access

it should be mounted

try check the maps menu

in other or smth

[rich badge]

Alright loading a chamber

so what now

@lament quartz Are you coming?

[compact blaze]

@rich badge do u have any idea why not all the assets are replacing?

[rich badge]

mesh hashes aren't stable on those

Oh wait but walls work

they aren't stable either

[compact blaze]

is there any way to make those stable?

[lament quartz]

yea, im here

[rich badge]

Join the stream

[compact blaze]

or just ignore that and make the mesh replacements anyways?

[rich badge]

None I am aware of

Uhm so I got why

Walls are replaced with materials

so stable mesh hashes aren't necesary

but buttons and such are mesh replacements

[compact blaze]

@rich badge do u know why the meshes aren't stable in gmod?

[rich badge]

Mark said something about mesh transforms on the cpu

and they've used a in game command to do that in the gpu but I can't find it

[lament quartz]

@rich badge can you also test arc9?

[compact blaze]

maybe u can ask mark for the command?

@rich badge there are some mods in gmod that port portal rtx assets into the game

and some mods that fix portal in gmod

want me to send em to u?

[rich badge]

So portal gun won't work, source's portal rendering needed to be disabled

[compact blaze]

@rich badge do u reflect off the window?

@rich badge also do u remember that bug where if u looked through the scope the whole world that rasterized again?

u should try that again

@rich badge HOLY SHIT THATS DOPE

[rich badge]

what is

[compact blaze]

THE ASSETS BECOME THE ORIGINAL TOO

LMAO AWESOME

[rich badge]

no its not

[compact blaze]

SRY I JUST LOVE THE EFFECT

ITS SO WEIRD LOL

sry sry

[rich badge]

Damn why are you sorry, this is your personal opinion

stop doing that

please

[compact blaze]

nah im sry cause im using all caps out of nowhere and goin insane over smth so small

lol ray gun in portal rtx

[rich badge]

How do I shoot that vaporizing energy orbs

[compact blaze]

hl2 gun

[rich badge]

panzerfaust in portal lol

[compact blaze]

@rich badge and these mods

install these then restart gmod

should fix portal in gmod

@rich badge btw when u install all these mods u have to close and open gmod

not just restart the map

[rich badge]

oh ok

[compact blaze]

did u install everything?

sick

[rich badge]

Man this game loads slow

lol

[compact blaze]

lol

[rich badge]

no portals

so what now

still no portals

my gpu is dying lol

[compact blaze]

why dont the mw guns work ingame again?

[rich badge]

They use shaders I think

[compact blaze]

maybe u can install an older version of the mw base?

a reupload is on gmod

[rich badge]

I don't think it will work

They probably did this from the start

what do you want me to do

[compact blaze]

@rich badge https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2520987130

[rich badge]

Yea I remember this works but not as good as the mw base

yeah not even close

lol the game crashed

one sec

@compact blaze What else portal rtx remastered?

some props

[compact blaze]

um, maybe u can mount portal prelude?

[rich badge]

Oh wait props won't work anyway 🤦‍♂️

[compact blaze]

also @rich badge maybe u can add portal rtx's custom content into the gmod custom folder

[rich badge]

why

[compact blaze]

cause back in december 2022 they couldn't fully remaster everything with just rtx remix, so they needed to add some custom content into portal

[rich badge]

It was skinned meshes

[compact blaze]

prob best to try anyways

maybe thats why the turrets were error models

[rich badge]

@tulip silo hello

you want me to try something?

so we could assing portal material to these textures

[tulip silo]

No not really

I'm just watching

[rich badge]

just like they did with the portal rtx

[tulip silo]

How are the hashes so similar?

Between portal and Garry's mod

[rich badge]

They are both hl2 🙂

[tulip silo]

Also why is the weapon hash flickering

Is it not stable?

[rich badge]

Yes

Mark said this has something to do with mesh transformation on the cpu and they've used a command to do that in the gpu

but I can't find it

[compact blaze]

@rich badge should i send the entire list of source commands?

[rich badge]

no not really

it should be inside autoexec.cfg

[compact blaze]

then add the autoexec config file into gmod

[rich badge]

already tried that

[compact blaze]

maybe copy the autoexec's contents into gmod's autoexec file

GarrysMod\garrysmod\cfg

its in here

[rich badge]

same thing

[tulip silo]

Ask mark again when he's online

[compact blaze]

have u like modded the game's dlls and stuff to have the special commands?

[rich badge]

will do

[rich badge]

Just the BlueAmulet's patches

The only command requires modified dll is frustumcullworld

afair

what's wrong with this

[rich badge]

so they remastered this too

it has emissives

what

[compact blaze]

@rich badge also can you add the portal rtx custom content into gmod?

pls?

y'know this in a gmod custom folder

[rich badge]

So I need to copy portal_rtx folder into garrysmod/custom ?

[compact blaze]

nah just the custom folder's contents

[rich badge]

to where

there is no garrysmod/custom

do I need to create one?

[compact blaze]

ya

[rich badge]

Do I need to use a special command?

[compact blaze]

nah

[rich badge]

So what I am expecting to see

[compact blaze]

also @rich badge u should add the custom folder's contents into the addons folder

[rich badge]

How do I make sure it worked

[compact blaze]

just incase

[rich badge]

So how do we know if it worked or not

[compact blaze]

spawn in a turret?

did u add the mods into addons?

damn

idk why it isn't working

[rich badge]

Double checked, all subscribed

[compact blaze]

@rich badge try do this in gameinfo

[rich badge]

It says none of this matters :/

[compact blaze]

nah its mentioning for game content

not stuff like mods

[compact blaze]

ye like that

no wait its on top

[rich badge]

its on bottom

[compact blaze]

well try both

[rich badge]

If it is bottom it will override everything above

[compact blaze]

ok ok

damn

[rich badge]

how do I use this

[compact blaze]

@rich badge omg the turret worked?

[rich badge]

spawned from somewhere else

probably not related to what we've been doing either

So this has emissives too

but doesn't have the updatd mesh

as expected

sentry guns from the map doesn't work

[compact blaze]

@rich badge do u think we can vc later? i need to do smth rq

[meager oar]

are u guys trying to add portal rtx assets in gmod rtx?

[rich badge]

No just put the portal's remix mod into gmod

[tulip silo]

he meant the same thing

[rich badge]

Uh I didn't get it :/

[compact blaze]

@lucid parcel do u remember what the command was?

[lucid parcel]

nope, sorry. mat_softwareskin, r_skin look related, but they're lacking documentation on Valve's website.

We also made a few changes to some of the source engine binaries we shipped with Portal, which might have been part of it. Does the recommended gmod setup include copying from the /bin/ and /cfg/ folders of Portal RTX?
#1103495588374401115 message

@rich badge said they added the blueamulet patches into gmod and they copied over the autoexec file into gmod

the meshes were still unstable tho

@rich badge u should try the commands mark sent

for some reason some textures refuse to get upscaled, all the other textures got upscaled but the grass in flatgrass refuses to it gives like a cuda error

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3031261871

i really love this tool man just seeing old school maps with faithfull HQ textures is just insane for me

[lament quartz]

I'm glad that you like it

❤️

Woow

[rich glen]

20 fps simulator

[lament quartz]

Interesting thing is that it works smooth, idk how's for him but for me it is

[rich glen]

i mean it does looks cool

but its probably 20-30 fps gameplay on that map

[lament quartz]

Like yeah

[rich badge]

Why?

[rich glen]

also alex, do you know how to make surfaces act like a mirror?

[lament quartz]

Yeah

[rich glen]

a lot of pbr

and reflections

on a small map...

[rich badge]

Is it remastered already

[lament quartz]

Super flat normals and very black roughness map

And extremely white Metall map

[rich badge]

albedo: 1,1,1 (white)
roughness: 0
metalness: 1

no normals

required

[lament quartz]

I mean a PBR textures

[rich glen]

i mean for windows and stuff

[rich badge]

Then set metalness to 0 as well

[rich glen]

okay

[lament quartz]

Oh

[rich glen]

also..i tried to pbr a glass addon and..

[rich badge]

Dia-electric I mean

[rich glen]

lol

this pbr tool its pretty cool ngl

it can make a map look pretty good on literally 10 min

[lament quartz]

Thanks ❤️

[rich badge]

Only if my gpu wasn't dying

[rich glen]

samee

[rich badge]

Tho your tool is a must-have since this game is all about user generated content @lament quartz

[rich glen]

but i have only a 2060 but i think someone whit a 4060 can run it at 60 fps

[rich glen]

i hope one day someone can make a pbr version of all gmod objects

and npc

i might do it and share it here so people dont have to wait 2 hours to overhaul all the gmod props

but i think popo was doing something like that already

[rich badge]

I think addon creators should create the materials themselves

Tho that's certainly too optimistic

[rich glen]

true..

[rich badge]

Btw why you didn't remove the dxlevel warning

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)

[rich glen]

i forgot-

we probably need a new version of rtx remix too

but it will probably come along whit hl2 rtx

[lament quartz]

With ray reconstruction

[rich glen]

honestly..

i hope fsr3 release soon so we can generate frames 💀

[lament quartz]

Honestly

💀

[rich glen]

in 20 series

[lament quartz]

Yeah

It'll be amazing for all GPUs

[rich glen]

i mean they really dont need to make frame generation for 40...

the perfomance its already better in 40's series so people going to still buying them

anyway

[rich glen]

i hear that some people made rtx remix compatible whit amd gpu's

[lament quartz]

Yeah I saw a video

And that's terrible

[rich badge]

It is compatible

Amd gpus just suck at rt until the last generation

[compact blaze]

Pls post gameplay of this

[meager oar]

I wish the upscaler worked on this map it keeps giving cuda error when upscaling it's textures but I'm gonna try manually upscaling the textures cause there's only 16 textures used in this map

[compact blaze]

@meager oar I wanna ask what addon are u using for the csgo guns?

[meager oar]

Is that U TUTU?

[meager oar]

I just typed CSGO and set the catagory to weapons and found it, it's called Counter Strike Global offensive (SMG, Snipers and etc) Pack it's made by a Russian guy idk how his name is pronounced

[compact blaze]

How do the materials and textures look so good?

[meager oar]

I used the Tool made by ALEX on the guns but it only has PBR and not upscaled so it will luk way better

[compact blaze]

Maybe u could’ve used the counter strike 2 materials and textures?

Tho idk if that’s public

Still looks great

[meager oar]

Idk where to find them and don't have CS2 as well yet idk why I'm not getting it -_-

[lament quartz]

how to work with floating ips?

My wish now is to upscale sadx

[compact blaze]

Upscale what?

[lament quartz]

Sonic Adventure DX

[compact blaze]

It’s being given to people who’ve bought prime and got a rank

[lament quartz]

I've finally found a way to play it with rtx remix but the uv maps are buggy and texture capturing is broken

[lament quartz]

guys?

[meager oar]

Idk how to use it i tried to patch the files but it keeps giving errors that this is a Read only file or sum thing so used python instead to patch

[lament quartz]

so I need to download the visual code?

[half viper]

Mirror reflections are actually easier to render

[lament quartz]

.

[rich badge]

For the patches?

[lament quartz]

yea

[rich badge]

You only need the python script

and python3 installed

[lament quartz]

thats all?

[lament quartz]

i mean bout patches

[rich badge]

You download the https://github.com/BlueAmulet/SourceRTXTweaks/blob/main/garrysmod/applypatch.py
then grab the files needed to be patched and put them in the same folder
Then open up powershell at that directory by Shift+Right click -> blah powershell here
run this command: python3 applypatch.py .
Replace the original files in the gmod installation with the ones in the patched folder

[hushed trail]

Weird

[lament quartz]

damn

[lament quartz]

the files have not patched

[rich badge]

They might be already patched?

Is this a fresh install

[hushed trail]

Oh no, so probably

let me try it

[rich badge]

?

[hushed trail]

It's not a fresh install, I've patched before. So That dll is already patched

Gonna try running

[rich badge]

So the output is just "Python" ?

[rich badge]

I thought you guys are the same person lol. I need to sleep

[lament quartz]

yea

[rich badge]

try this python3

Does it look like this?

[lament quartz]

tf

I understand it would be better to download through microsoft store.

[rich badge]

Download what

[lament quartz]

nah, it doesn't look like this

[rich badge]

python?

[lament quartz]

yes

I downloaded it from the official website, but I guess it didn't work

finally

@rich badge it's different, but the files haven't changed

[rich badge]

you forgot the .

[lament quartz]

fr?

[rich badge]

enter exactly python3 applypatch.py .

including the dot

at the end

[lament quartz]

TY!

wait

there's another problem

[meager oar]

there should be a patched folder inside bin now

[lament quartz]

yea, i did that

i mean

when I enter the game and when the menu appears, immediately appears a square with a diagonal and after that the game crashes.

i forgor💀

[lament quartz]

I'm forgor too 💀

я сделал всё, как в гайде

а вот не получается

стараюсь на карту зайти, но не могу

[meager oar]

u tryin to run the latest version of jerry mod?

[lament quartz]

u mean gmod?

[night bramble]

Jerry’s Mod lol

[lament quartz]

Jerry

💀

Jmod

[night bramble]

Any progress on threading btw?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYUgerQVI6A

[lament quartz]

i fixed this problem, but when i go to the map, gmod crashes @rich badge

[rich badge]

1. How did you fixed it?
2. What map are you trying to load?
3. Have you deleted the game_shader_generic_garrysmod.dll

[lament quartz]

1. gmod lua menu
2. gm_construct
3. idk, i'm not at home yet

[rich badge]

Step 5

[lament quartz]

i know, maybe i deleted

[half viper]

You didn't

[lament quartz]

I'll check when I at home

[lament quartz]

nah, i deleted

[half viper]

Then you didn't install stdshaderdx7

[lament quartz]

maybe

i replaced stdshaderdx7 file and nothing changed

Oh whats good! Im a fan of your mods :)

[lament quartz]

Oh hi there!

But they're all shitty coded ngl

[zenith marlin]

yeah, they don't run very well, but nonetheless you have some bangers.

your alien wallwalking stuff was pretty cool. iirc walwalking is pretty hard to pull off

[lament quartz]

As I understand I've made a little inspirational addons for others

[zenith marlin]

certainly!

[lament quartz]

But using my addons in their raw form is a pain

[zenith marlin]

i appreciate that youre honest about it

[lament quartz]

How can i lie about it, its on the surface

Btw how are you?

[zenith marlin]

yes but with a surprising amount of workshop creators as big as you, they have kind of an ego yknow?

dont want to accept criticism and stuff

[zenith marlin]

I'm alr, thanks! I'm on a good streak lately

[lament quartz]

Yeah Ik, and don't want to read commentaries 😠

[zenith marlin]

yeah, that too. shame that

[lament quartz]

Yeah

[zenith marlin]

my favorite addon of yours is probably GTA Thirdperson, feels good

when it works

[lament quartz]

Hahaha

[zenith marlin]

unlocked running camera is very nice

[lament quartz]

Nah it's probably shit

Even I don't playing with it

But I have some favorites like step dust

Or clouds

[zenith marlin]

that's fair, i haven't in sometime either
nonetheless its the only addon that lets you move the camera in all angles without playermodel moving as well
so i have considered trying to fix up the code some maybe

[zenith marlin]

Hell yeah, Clouds sucked a bit too much performance out for my liking, but I still think it looks super nice.

[lament quartz]

Oh and water ripples, but the performance is 💀

[zenith marlin]

haha yep

[lament quartz]

Y'know why?

Cuz I'm tracing a ray out of every entity

[zenith marlin]

ohh yeesh

[lament quartz]

And there's a loop that animates every ripple

[zenith marlin]

So you're not an expert, but that's okay

you found ways to make what you wanted work and i respect it

[lament quartz]

Yeah, Gmod with lua was my first steps to the normal languages so

[zenith marlin]

i myself hardly know how to code, but i know how to read it mostly, so i use an ai to help me when i am making things, and i fix up its code (its not very good most times)

[zenith marlin]

lua is a good start, one of the easier languages

[lament quartz]

Yup, and cuz it's a Gmod, it's also interesting and fun

[zenith marlin]

yeah, same with roblox. i wanted to start making things on there but i have a hard time committing to anything lately

[lament quartz]

Oh, I tried Roblox, and I gave up after ten minutes or so

[zenith marlin]

lmao

new to you?

[lament quartz]

Just too much difference

[lament quartz]

Yeah

That was probably the middle of my addons creation "era?" Idk how to name it

I'm not that good at English

[zenith marlin]

You speak well though.

[lament quartz]

Years back

[zenith marlin]

Have you been working on things since gmod?

[lament quartz]

Thanks ❤️

[lament quartz]

Yeah I've learnt c++, made a lot of game engines for fun, and now I'm working with virtualization systems on a real job

I'm mostly full stack developer

[tulip silo]

what does full stack developer mean

[lament quartz]

I mean web full stack developer

[zenith marlin]

both front and back end development

fullstack

[lament quartz]

Im working with backend and frontend

[zenith marlin]

nice! youve got my current dream position

[lament quartz]

[zenith marlin]

but i have a long ways to go

[lament quartz]

Oops, misunderstood you

[zenith marlin]

dont worry, its all good

[lament quartz]

[tulip silo]

@lament quartz sorry to bug you but how is OctoTex progress

[zenith marlin]

im glad youve been able to take it somewhere

[lament quartz]

Ah, I've got no chance lately to work on it

I was busy all the time at work

[zenith marlin]

Octotex?

[lament quartz]

I need to make a domain order system

And rewriting dialog modals

[lament quartz]

Yeah, the script that allows you to automatically upscale the textures for rtx remix, and generate the PBR textures

[lament quartz]

Oof

[zenith marlin]

i suppose it is a work in progress then

[lament quartz]

Yeah

Experimental stuff

[zenith marlin]

ive been hoping someone like you would step up and create a tool for it while we wait for official tools. thanks!

[lament quartz]

Some people managing to make it work on their systems

[zenith marlin]

smart people 😔

[lament quartz]

But I love the results

Roughness maps are shitty but

[zenith marlin]

oooh, yeah. niice

getting sick of the flat lighting. need the official tools alreadyyy

[lament quartz]

Yeah

Probably

[zenith marlin]

really hoping they focus on shader support, my dream would be to work on a complete rtx overhaul for l4d2

dark carnival would look so sick.

[lament quartz]

The dark scenes looks amazing with rtx remix

[zenith marlin]

ohh i bet

may be the closest we get to a modern l4d

[lament quartz]

Oh god I have a two percent on my phone

[compact blaze]

whats dark carnival?

[zenith marlin]

@tulip silo Sorry to bug you. I haven't been monitoring progress a whole lot. Is shader support a focus? I see options for it in the menu, shader based vertex capture yada yada

[tulip silo]

remix devs have added a very basic shader support

[zenith marlin]

a Left 4 Dead 2 campaign, the one with the amusement park and concert finale, its the most iconic one

[tulip silo]

Before that most games do not work

[zenith marlin]

do they plan to expand on it? or do you not know

[compact blaze]

ah ok

[tulip silo]

who doesn't want to add more shader support lol

Atm it's all very unclear as running shaders with remix is a bit of a hard run

[zenith marlin]

makes sense. i am excited to see where it goes nonetheless. thank you

i have a feeling that Source shaders probably wont be too hard to crack

but stuff like gta 4 i dont even know

[tulip silo]

All we can do is hope

Unless you can contribute to the open source project

For Remix

[half viper]

As much as i want to contribute

Im too fucking stupid to do it

dude you gotta create a tutorial on how you got everything so stable as well as textures

[meager oar]

Da heck happened to volt physics haven't been updated since Sept 8 last year, can spawn large dupes without any lag by using it

[rich badge]

Oh flashlights work?

[night bramble]

Not really it’s just add light to texture with the rtx.conf args to disable plasma ball and changes radius and such.

Only works with the flashlight in hand mod if you want it toggleable.

[lament quartz]

DAAAAAAMN, THIS LOOKS SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL

[torpid fable]

load.py not worked for me( I've tried many things but it doesn't work, maybe I'm doing something wrong, please advise if you have time.

[lament quartz]

Sorry, I was not able to do something today

Cuz today was an amazing day for me

1 year of marriage

With my wife

🥰

So I was offline all day

[lament quartz]

Looks amazing

[meager oar]

wats the error?

[night bramble]

Make sure you have a folder in mods folder

[meager oar]

if load.py cant find dir then u can do two things:

1: open load.py via notepad and change loadDir = "captures" to loadDir = "captures/textures" however after doing all the process after write.py change it back to loadDir = "captures"

2: Or u can just make folders in your rtx-remix, it should be like this rtx-remix/make another folder named "mods" right besides captures/ then make another folder called "gameReadyAssets" inside mods

doing these two steps fixed the script not finding the dir for me

[compact blaze]

Omg I’m so so so happy for you, I hope you have a long and fulfilling life together with your partner

[rich badge]

@manic hazel Here is the terrain "smearing" issue

[torpid fable]

Thanks) i try it later

[half viper]

You didnt ignore any textures right?

[rich badge]

Nothing related to the terrain afair

[night bramble]

Your smearing looks so tame compared to what I see

Should probably do a map without the wacky texture glitch though

[rich badge]

Did you watched the whole thing? There is more smearing in the distant ones

[night bramble]

Maybe it’s just cause of phone screen it’s hard to see

I only really notice the unrelated flickering

[manic hazel]

Thanks, I filed an internal ticket for it.

Does turning off Use Terrain Bounding Box have any effect on the issue?

[rich badge]

No, still the same

[keen rivet]

ah yeah theres small parts of that terrain that for somereason in rtx remix are invisible

and when terrain baking is off you can see that

when its on it'll fill those invisible parts with the info from the previous frame

which leads to that smudging

[keen rivet]

useful info above to add to it for context

[manic hazel]

See through surfaces for blended terrain are a common side effect when terrain system is disabled. This is due the surfaces aliasing geometrically and them being see through at parts where the other surface should be visible. What happens is that a see through surface gets hit by a ray and then the other surface gets skipped since they exactly overlap. That's what the terrain baker is solving by baking them into a shared terrain material and then it doesn't matter which surface gets hit by a ray. Terrain baker doesn't use temporal (previous frame) data right now, so the smudging is odd.

[night bramble]

I noticed that textures that are on top of the terrain will make that texture tile show no smearing when marked as a terrain texture. Ie. pieces of paper, dirt, crosswalks on pavement.

[lament quartz]

can somebody tell me why ground is invisible?

[rich badge]

disable 3d skybox

the launch arguments are in the first pinned post

[lament quartz]

da heck

[rich glen]

first time i see gmod rtx at 60 fps

[night bramble]

Kinda baffling

[lament quartz]

@rich badge do you know how to fix this?

[rich badge]

Your weapon mod is probably doing some weird trickery which makes it turn to rasterized.

Some mods have this issue

For weapons use: Arcw, Arc9, TFA, CW2.0

Keep in mind that not all weapons will work fine despite being built on top of those above

I have a list of incompatible mods if you wanna take a look at

I recommend arcw urban coalition tho

[tulip silo]

is it using one those Picture in Picture Scopes?

[rich badge]

Maybe, tho that doesn't look like one

[rain vault]

well i got part of the grass texture but it seems that if i don't ignore one of the grass textures, it becomes the sky texture like in this post

alright thanks will try them

it sorta works but i have been crashing a fair bit

From what I've been reading it seemed like thing were working, were they not?

[keen rivet]

not on the latest version of gmod on steam

i think everyone has older versions

[fringe ingot]

are all these pictures on older gmod then?

[keen rivet]

yeah

i just tried on a clean install

Alex mentioned he needed an older install a while ago

here

[rich glen]

it is!

but uh..

its the best result i could get

since idk how to make actually good glass

[lament quartz]

which version of gmod should I download?

[lament quartz]

Understandable

[rich glen]

the last one

its the one that i used for the screenshots

[rich glen]

use this vid if u want the replacements for props

[lament quartz]

Does not work for everyone

For me it does not

I'm on 2023.08.21

[lament quartz]

so what version do you have

[keen rivet]

latest also broken for me

[lament quartz]

oh, alr
