Garry's Mod

[wintry trench]

It says the same text over again

“Wait till the end….”

“It’s almost done…”

[lament quartz]

did you closed the cmd?

[wintry trench]

“This may take some time…”

No I’m looking at it

[lament quartz]

oh

[wintry trench]

31 is just stuck

[lament quartz]

is there any loading?

[wintry trench]

And hasn’t changed

In the ui?

[lament quartz]

then wait

[wintry trench]

It’s been probably 15 or sum mins

It’s just one texture

[lament quartz]

if nothing will change, try to restart the tool

[meager oar]

nah i think its bugged it shouldnt take 7 mins

[wintry trench]

77 lol

Alright I will

[lament quartz]

first time seeing something like that

[wintry trench]

Clicking upscale again

Now is jt upscaling alreayd upscaled textures

Because thag would he hell

Hmmm, I may or may not know what breaks it and causes this

If you click on anything after clicking upscale

Nah I’m not sure anymore

[lament quartz]

MINECRAFT 4K TEXTURES RTX 5090 SEUS PTGI POM

I don’t know why, but this reminded me of the HL2 beta

[wintry trench]

Nope texture 31 is just not enjoying this AI

It’s from the Gm construct map

I don’t think this is ever gonna finish man

Yep I’m done trying, it’s been another 15 mins stuck on 31

I guess I’ll try again tomorrow

[lament quartz]

that's much better

[compact blaze]

Can you try vacant industry?

[meager oar]

Put texture 31 in the upscaled folder and the AI will skip it

It should give a cuda error and the AI will skip that texture and upscale others but it looks like it isn't doing that for u

[lament quartz]

im training a new models

with emission

and metalness

👀

[meager oar]

dang

[meager oar]

what will improve with that?

[lament quartz]

better normals generation, better roughness, now it'll be able to generate metalness and emission

[lament quartz]

you've may noticed that the normals are looks strange

[meager oar]

also these mincecraft textures are driving me crazy sumtimes they wrk and sometimes they dnt

[meager oar]

yep

[lament quartz]

like does not showing the x axis angle

left and right

completely smooth sometimes

so that'll be fixed

for example

and overall better look

[meager oar]

thats cool

[lament quartz]

yup

=3

[meager oar]

how mch space will it take now?

the current models take 2.2 gb i thnk

[heady mango]

Are the materials ( pbr stuff) made by the AI generated from the source texture or is it something like AI recognise the texture and apply materials from a similiar texture such as from nvidia Vmaterials?

[lament quartz]

AI generatesPBR from source texture, albedo

tries to reconginze how will it look

like roughness, metalness, emisson, normals

[heady mango]

it could be cool to recognise a texture and match it with nvidias Vmaterials since they are super photo realistic, could i make a plugin that does this?

[lament quartz]

im not

i need to impore my things

[heady mango]

nah ur octotex is crazy bro, its far far better than i ever could have imagined from such a small community

[lament quartz]

thanks ❤️

yeah normals are getting better already

[meager oar]

dang i love ambient cg textures man very good addition in octatex

[lament quartz]

that's only 5 epoch

will be better ofc

i will train more

the old ai model was trained like 170 epoch or something like that

so this new model will destroy it

[lament quartz]

single model will take 653mb

[wintry trench]

where is that folder at

ai\pbr\textures\

Is that the one

[meager oar]

no

textures/processing/

[wintry trench]

that doesnt exist

or atleast I cant find it

[meager oar]

u need to load in the textures first then it will automatically be made

open terminal

and type

load.py

or python load.py

[wintry trench]

my capture has been loaded in already

[meager oar]

it should automatically create a folder inside octatex called textures after loading in the capture

[wintry trench]

okay i did the load thin

thing

I have it now

maybe the upscaling willl work now because I did not have tha before

no I did im just slow

@meager oar it still isnt working, everytime I start the upscaled it iterates through the same textures 0,1 etc and then reaches 31, the one I put in the upscaled folder

abd still it gets stuck

Of corse mine is broken

[meager oar]

Try deleting that texture 31 in the diffuse folder, the "1AJE1231" or any number and alphabets your seeing are the names of the textures.

[wintry trench]

just did that

[meager oar]

Ok now try it

[wintry trench]

should I delete it in the upscaled as well

[meager oar]

No

[wintry trench]

okay

[mild mist]

can i send some map suggestions over

[wintry trench]

That worked, I think I’m gonna have to do it to another texture tho

I also got a cuda error for one

So now thag everything is done, how do I do the pbr stuff

[meager oar]

Well u have two choices

Let the AI do it automatically

Or u can do it manually with your own settings for the textures

In the main tab PBR (POM is included) is done for every texture

In material tab however enhancements are only done for a single texture that u have selected

Choose only Normal(Legacy is better), Parralex and Albedo (Optional)

In the materials tab

After setting the sliders( roughness, Displacements and etc) for that texture

Doing it manually is better since u can have every texture behave differently but it takes sometime but in automatically every texture Behaves the same but it is faster

[wintry trench]

so first click generate PBR for every texture?

whats the difference between the Ai and without

[meager oar]

Well the without one will use legacy stuff for normals, metallness and etc I think and with AI it will use AI generated ones I think.. u can use any of them but the AI one takes some time so maybe use without one if u wanna do stuff quickly both look fine I guess

[wintry trench]

Alright, and thi should be my last question

[meager oar]

After that
Just click the write button

[wintry trench]

I clicked one of the materials for a texture

But I don’t like it and wnag to go back to the original texture

How do I do that

[meager oar]

Wait ambient CG materials?

[wintry trench]

Yes

[meager oar]

Ah I have no idea how to revert the changes to ambient CG textures

[wintry trench]

Well fuck

[meager oar]

Idk maybe go to materials tab and click on unupscale button for that texture

But

I tried that once and it removed the texture from the UI 😭

[wintry trench]

Yikes

Well i did one for the bricks

I’ll go in game and see if it works

[meager oar]

U can change it by selecting a different ambient CG texture

[wintry trench]

Also I think I got an error for running out of memory with the Ai

[meager oar]

Cuda error?

When upscaling

[wintry trench]

No pbr ai

It stopped and said an error in the webui about memory or sum

[meager oar]

Oh

The ambient CG

Textures already have the stuff u need

U just simply write it

[wintry trench]

Ohhh I have to click write when I’m done

[meager oar]

They already have POM, PBR and etc

[wintry trench]

It’s kinda hard to tell what some of these textures are for

I’m guessing the blank ones are glass but idk

[meager oar]

Oh those one might be the skybox

[wintry trench]

It’s just empty

[meager oar]

Skybox textures for me are blank in the UI but when I add albedo I can see them in the UI

[wintry trench]

Hmm

Well that makes it more complicated lol

Strange that I don’t see a grass texture anyone on here

@lament quartz is there a way to revert to the orignal texture after placing a ambient cg texture on it

After clicking write

[meager oar]

hmmm never got that error before

[wintry trench]

It happened after I used the ai to generate all 3 maps for a texture

[keen rivet]

sure

[wintry trench]

Anyone know what this is and how to fix it

I cannot do textures anymore because of it

It just throws that error every time I click write

[meager oar]

Go to settings tab and click on clear hashes if that doesn't work then send this error to ALEX so he might fix it and just again take a new capture and remaster the textures all over again

Also everytime u wanna remaster new set of textures then delete the textures folder inside octatex

[wintry trench]

still getting the same error

[lament quartz]

try to open rtx-remix folder

then mods

then OctoTexGUI

open replacements.usda as a text

and remove everything in there

if it does not work

then delete the whole OctoTexGUI fodler inside of mods

[night bramble]

is that gmod?

that's hilarious

[wintry trench]

After doing this I get this error “over rootNode”

[lament quartz]

ok open

OctoTex/mods/modTemplate.zip

and copy replacements.usda from there

and replace it in the rtx-remix/mods/OctoTexGUI folder

[wintry trench]

Ayyyy it’s working now

It’s converting

Thanks man

[lament quartz]

no problems ❤️

[wintry trench]

Also like popo said, do I delete the entire texture folder when doing a new capture ?

[lament quartz]

yeah, it's better to do, and clear the hash

but if you want to continue the existing cpature, then no

don't delete it

otherwise it'll load every texture from scratch

[wintry trench]

Well could I delete it and recapture the same map to kind of start over

Because i didn’t know you couldn’t change to the orignal texture after putting ambient cg on one

[lament quartz]

you already have the textures, do that if you have not all the textures captured

[lament quartz]

you can

[wintry trench]

How do you do that ?

[lament quartz]

then write

that's it

[wintry trench]

Ahh okay thank you

And yes my game didn’t capture all the textures either

[lament quartz]

no problems

[wintry trench]

The grass most notable doesn’t show up

[lament quartz]

btw there may be a problem

if you have a very large texture "like grass on the gm_construct" it may stuck on it

or throw an error about cuda

[wintry trench]

That’s the map I’m using

[lament quartz]

i recommend you to remove that grass texture from diffuse folder

so the tool can go next

but still it just should skip the texture with cuda error

and do not stuck on the same spot

[wintry trench]

So will I ever be able to get the grass ?

[lament quartz]

nope

only on unapscaled texture

so you can just move the grass texture from diffuse to upscaled

and then make a pbr for it from GUI

[meager oar]

Yus

[wintry trench]

There’s a weird map that still exist on the bricks

[lament quartz]

yeah the old normals and roughness may still be inplace

in the GUI

just don't look at it

press F5 or just write

it'll be normal in the game

[wintry trench]

Okay lol

[lament quartz]

im fixing it in the new update

but the biggest change in the new update will be new AI models

[wintry trench]

Oh my fuck

Getting same damn error again and have to re do that process

Okay fixed that

But no my remix capture didn’t even get the grass

I’m looking in rtx remix captures and that texture ain’t there

[lament quartz]

understandable

[wintry trench]

So recapture it i guess ?

[lament quartz]

idk

sorry, brb

[wintry trench]

Np

[mild mist]

i wish i was smart enough to make it work

[wintry trench]

Just follow that super long convo we had and ask if you don’t know

[valid elbow]

Is +c_frustumcull 0 param crashing game for anyone else?

[lament quartz]

For me

Crashes too

Only when DLLs are patched

[valid elbow]

Did you patch with python script?

[lament quartz]

Yup

[valid elbow]

Same. Prob script is broken, gonna test what file is bugged. Even edited script a bit to be sure all patches are applied ( they are, also added backups for files because got tired of verifying files )

[lament quartz]

They are applying ok on the older Gmod versions

[valid elbow]

And cl_first_person_uses_world_model 0 stopped working. Any fixes to "3-rd person while in 1-st?"

[lament quartz]

Tag the player textures as a player texture

In the remix menu

[tulip silo]

Bald Kleiner

[lament quartz]

Klein Kleiner

Kleiner ist klein

[wintry trench]

@lament quartz is it normal to have the same error every single time I click write

I have to redo that process every single time I want to write something

[wintry trench]

How did you guys get the glass to be so refractive, I put the slider at 3/4 and it looks like regular glass in game

[rain current]

Wow , where to download this textures?

[lament quartz]

you can't

it's new AI models for octotex

[half viper]

@lament quartz how well does your model handle text?

[lament quartz]

idk

i didn't tested

only the barrels

[half viper]

I think the text got smudged a lil bit

[lament quartz]

nah that's an upscaller

and dlss

on native res with same normals scaling

[half viper]

I wanna see the texture up close

[half viper]

The M and the A got smudged together

[lament quartz]

that's not a native either

wait

i'll launch again

[half viper]

Show me the texture itself

Please

[lament quartz]

oh

yeah

that RealESRGAN

Roughness

normals

[keen rivet]

I think normals need more training

More training on textures with patterns

like tiles and stuff

It’s not too good at those

[lament quartz]

yeah

[keen rivet]

?

Oh

Yeah it’ll help nicely

[lament quartz]

i'll stay it training for two days

[keen rivet]

Same with displacements maybe

[lament quartz]

yeah, i want them too

[keen rivet]

Make sure you don’t over cook it

[lament quartz]

but for now im training metalness

[keen rivet]

Yooo

Is this dataset full of just metal textures or textures and some metal textures

[lament quartz]

I can't promise

[lament quartz]

there's a lot of non metal textures, and metal one

[keen rivet]

you should try to do both, with the one for metal only used for manually adding metal to a single texture

And the one with mixed metal and non metal used for the pbr all button

[lament quartz]

they are separated don't worry

[keen rivet]

I wonder if you can use machine vision tools like CLIP to recognise surfaces

[lament quartz]

YEAH

i thought about it

[keen rivet]

can you feed a prompt into your img to img system? Then you can add surface descriptions to all the training data

[lament quartz]

btw i gonna train emission too

[keen rivet]

Fancy

[lament quartz]

that's not my architecture

and im not that good at ai

im just scared about it to deep more

[keen rivet]

Me neither but you’re doing better at it than me

I should see if I can contact some other nerds I know and see if they can point me in the right direction to do something like that

[lament quartz]

🔥

[lament quartz]

I've turned on training for these two days

And made a clip to 2k epoch

Hope it'll not die

[keen rivet]

Hopefully

[wintry trench]

How did you do the water

[lament quartz]

That's someone's mod

I think Xenthio made it

Ask him for the file

[lament quartz]

If you want, you can make it with OctoTex btw

You will need to select every water texture, and make it glass

bump ior

And less transparency

But you can't change the color for now

[wintry trench]

Well that sucks, my capture only got one of the textures not all

[lament quartz]

Well that sucks

[wintry trench]

It’s been working for the most part Alex but I get that same error every time I go to write

I have to redo that process every single time

[lament quartz]

Oh do you have the screenshot?

[wintry trench]

I can get one later but i have to delete the replacements usda and then copy jt from octotext and put it back in

You get the idea

It’s what you told me to do

[lament quartz]

Hmm

I need to see the error

[wintry trench]

@lament quartz

It’s this

I get that error every time when writing

[lament quartz]

Huh, there's a problem with a parser

What do you do in the material tab?

After what step it starts to throw the error?

[wintry trench]

clicking generate normals roughness and parallax for textures

Then write

[lament quartz]

And that's all?

[wintry trench]

Yep

Upscaling them too

[lament quartz]

You didn't move the sliders?

[wintry trench]

I do

[lament quartz]

Clear everything again, and try to do the upscaling and other things, and write, but do not touch the sliders

Please

[wintry trench]

Why does that break it

[lament quartz]

You will help me alot

[wintry trench]

Okay I will

[lament quartz]

We will find it out now

[wintry trench]

Alright I’m doing the maps now, not touching the slider tho

[lament quartz]

❤️

[wintry trench]

So that worked

I’m gonna try another texture and not use the slider

[lament quartz]

Wait you can just try to write again

[wintry trench]

Okay it’s still working

[lament quartz]

Try to change slider by slider

And write every time

And tell me when it'll be broken

[wintry trench]

Okay displacement works

It says zero textures written

Roughness works

They all work

I think it breaks whenever I close out and then come back

It fucks it up

[lament quartz]

Can you send me the replacements.usda

[wintry trench]

The one from rtx remix or octotex

[lament quartz]

Rtx remix

[lament quartz]

Send me the error it throws now

[wintry trench]

Yep

When I close out of octotex and then open it

It breaks and gives me the error

[lament quartz]

I see

Ok the USDA looks legit, I'll need a json, but you can't get it

So, I'll try to convert it after the weekends

Then fix the bug

Big thanks for your work

❤️

[wintry trench]

no thank you mate, i guess in the meantime just fix it every time lol

[wintry trench]

some textures

[daring basin]

im trying to install trx remix with garry's mod and im following the instructions but they seem to be incomplete. Im on step 3 and it never states what files to patch or really how to patch them

ive been trying to figure it out for the past hour

[daring basin]

if it does then I just cant find them at all

nvm i might have just been stupid

nvm again, I was wrong. I tried applying the .bps file to client.dll, engine.dll and shaderapidx9.bps and they didnt work, kept telling me that the patch was for a different rom

[fringe ingot]

The .bps files are legacy and for an older version of gmod, they will be removed soon. There is a python script that can handle patching the files instead

[daring basin]

same "applypatch.py" file linked?

[modern granite]

does anyone have a full step by step tutorial on how to install rtx remix into gmod

[wintry trench]

Do you have portal rtx ?

[modern granite]

ya

[wintry trench]

Okay first download rtx remix

[modern granite]

the 2.0 version?

[wintry trench]

Yes

Its in releases

And then put the contents inside the rtx folder into the bin folder of Garry’s mod

[modern granite]

the 2.0 version is really unstable for me

it jumps cpu usage to 100% and stays there while using only 10-20% of my gpu

[wintry trench]

Well you haven’t done everything yet

Create a text file in Garry’s mod and put this in it
‘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`

Then just rename the .txt part of the file to .bat

[modern granite]

it doesnt work without launch commands?

[wintry trench]

Not really

You just create a bat folder tho in Garry’s mod and click it

Sometimes it won’t open but just click on it until Garry’s mod boots up

[modern granite]

does it work with addons?

[wintry trench]

I’d recommend you disable all addons

Not sure many work

Some do but for now to get it working make sure you have them disabled

[modern granite]

alr

ty for the info

1 last question tho

how do i get pbr textures

[wintry trench]

well your still not done

because open up the game and see if that works

[modern granite]

oh my

[wintry trench]

dont wry not much more

just put these two files in garrys mod

just delete your original rtx conf and use this one because I know it works

[modern granite]

in the same folders as the exe?

[wintry trench]

yessir

[half viper]

@modern granite check the pins, they are helpful

[wintry trench]

the install info from the pins isnt that great

[half viper]

I feel personally attacked

[wintry trench]

it broke my game when i used it lol

my configs were bad tho i think

[half viper]

Its literally the same steps lol

[wintry trench]

he still has to download the lua thing lol

[half viper]

look, some people have issues with replacing stdshaderdx7 and causes the game to crash to desktop on start-up

You probably faced that

[wintry trench]

well also something was wrong with my conf

when xentio gave me his it fixed about everything

ive had a lot of problems with remix on gmod

[half viper]

It shouldn't really matter honestly

[wintry trench]

it was stuff like all textures 90% invisble

[half viper]

OHH

[wintry trench]

i cant really explain it lol

[half viper]

you gotta ignore some textures

[wintry trench]

no it was every texture in the game

[half viper]

Yeah

[wintry trench]

i think it was due to not have "dx level 0"

because I didnt understand at the time what to do

[half viper]

It still happens on dxlevel 70

You gotta ignore some textures

[wintry trench]

cause when the instructions say put dxvk.conf it sounds like you should already have it

it doesnt say create that folder and put those lines in it

thats what confused me

[half viper]

Oh, i thought it was obvious lol
If you don't have it, just create it

[wintry trench]

i was using the one from portal rtx

and that just broke it

[wintry trench]

is everything working?

theres still a few more steps

[modern granite]

yea im following the steps

[wintry trench]

okay lmk

[modern granite]

it crashes upon loading the menu

@wintry trench did i miss something

[wintry trench]

Alright so one more thing

It’s not explained in the installation

https://github.com/robotboy655/gmod-lua-menu

you just download that

[modern granite]

what does that do

[wintry trench]

so because you delete the game shader file i think

it breaks the menu

so this menu works for remix

[modern granite]

its a custom menu?

[wintry trench]

yeah its like the basic old garrys mod menu

you download the file and put the lua and materials folder in Garrysmod\garrysmod

[modern granite]

alr

[wintry trench]

it says as well what to do on the website

[modern granite]

aw it just crashed upon loading a map

[wintry trench]

you made sure you put the rtx remix files in garrysmod\bin right

[modern granite]

yep

lemme try another map

[wintry trench]

you can try using the console and typing map gm_flatgrass

or any map

[half viper]

Did you delete the generic game shader?

If not that's why i told you guys to read the pins :/

[modern granite]

its still crashing upon loading up a map 😭

[half viper]

Did you replace stdshaderdx7

[modern granite]

where do i get that

[half viper]

Portal rtx

[modern granite]

ah

[half viper]

Bin folder

[modern granite]

ty

lemme try

[half viper]

Btw back up your files

Could crash your game

[modern granite]

it boots up now but

its still using 100% of my cpu :(

[wintry trench]

at the very least you can boot into game

obviously theres issues tho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epx3qjlJdtA&t=87s

here

follow this video but dont worry about any of the console stuff because weve done that already

and dont worry about the rtx remix stuff because we have that already

the trex folder is what im referring to

[modern granite]

use the trex folder from portal rtx and replace the one that came with the 2.0 one?

[wintry trench]

no no

ingore all that because we have those folders

[modern granite]

ok

[wintry trench]

this is an old video before remix was public

and ignore the console commands

because we have those

[keen rivet]

just finished recording a new better tutorial video

[tulip silo]

monkey thumbnail sucking its toes

with a bold RTX logo on it

[keen rivet]

https://youtu.be/hck4sFx2Qj0

[modern granite]

omg peak

[sinful vigil]

I did all the steps in the video and this is how the game looks now

[keen rivet]

did you do the step at 4:50

with the dxvk.conf file

[sinful vigil]

yep

[keen rivet]

hmm

idk what the fuck is up

[modern granite]

why is the vram usage at max

[sinful vigil]

🤷‍♂️

[keen rivet]

double check that step i guess

did you add the dxvk-remix files?

[sinful vigil]

Yes I even redid all the steps still the same problem

Are there other steps that need to be done that didn't appear in the video perhaps?

[meager oar]

the shadermodule in dxvk.conf needs to be 0, otherwise if u just shoot your gun in that state u will get some pretty wonky visuals

[sinful vigil]

It's on 0 the problem still happens

[sinful vigil]

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? 😢

[half viper]

Dx7?

[sinful vigil]

what do you mean?

[lone arch]

Did you install with latest dxvk and bridge remix builds?

Nvm

[sinful vigil]

It works! (?)

I changed the dx level to 70

It suddenly works for me even with 90?? odd

[modern granite]

omg it looks so good

ive never imagine myself seeing gmod like that in my 600h of gametime

i wonder if it still works when you change the sun direction

[keen rivet]

epic

[keen rivet]

anyone want to pin this so people can find it more easily?

[sinful vigil]

bro

So beautiful 😩

[modern granite]

gmod is officially better than real life

imagine the optimization in hl2 remix

[half viper]

It would perform almost the same

[modern granite]

maybe new features tho

and maybe less buggy since gmod and hl2 is fairly similar

[lament quartz]

if only there were PBR materials...

[modern granite]

there is actually

but idk how to download em

[tulip silo]

i mean this cropped image does look very real

[modern granite]

until you zoom into the bedframe

and you realize real life doesnt look good

[lucid hawk]

I know what i’m gonna do

I’m gonna use remix on the atmospheric house

8x upscaled textures + pbr materials

[half viper]

Have anyone retried using rtx remix on the 64bit version of gmod?

[modern granite]

how do i fix 100% cpu when using rtx remix 2.0 version 😭

[lament quartz]

Woah how did you do that?

[meager oar]

minecraft swap i just replaced some of the blocks textures to ambient cg

[lament quartz]

Aaah

Hope my new models will be that good 😭

[meager oar]

hopefully

[lament quartz]

Normals are training till hit 2k epoch

[zenith marlin]

Sorry to interject, guys.
I've attempted to get OctoTex set up and working, I have Imagemagick downloaded, ran run.bat and -pip install requirements.txt myself (everything installed fine), webui.py just closes and nothing happens.
So I ran main.py as POPO had suggested to someone in this channel before, and I get this error linked in the image. pip3 install pyopengl did not fix the issue

[lament quartz]

But that's only normals

I need roughness, displacements, emission, metallic 💀

[meager oar]

dang u training on all of them

[lament quartz]

Try python webui.py

[lament quartz]

I'm not

But I'll Need too

[lament quartz]

Cuz I can train only one model at a time

[meager oar]

oh

[lament quartz]

Did you install python through Microsoft store right?

💀

[zenith marlin]

no, ive been running several ai models, including for image generation and rvc voice models, so i have python installed locally

[lament quartz]

Install it normal way, Google the python, install it, and it'll prompt you if you want to add a Python to PATH, check that checkbox

[zenith marlin]

i have done that. i can do it again.

perhaps this needs the newest version

[lament quartz]

Huh

Then idk, pillow should be included to the python

[zenith marlin]

re-run req.txt?

[lament quartz]

Try

pip install pillow

Or

pip install PIL

Idk rly

[lament quartz]

Nope

[zenith marlin]

yeah maybe i need a newer python

was hoping that wouldnt be the case, idk if this will mess with my other ai installations

but oh well

[lament quartz]

python --version

Please

[lament quartz]

Huh, should work

[zenith marlin]

let me re-run python 3.10.6 install with path checked

see if that changes anything

unless you think i should try the microsoft store version?

[steady aspen]

when i try to install the launch script it says theres a virus on it

[zenith marlin]

is it that red window?

press more options > run anyway

[steady aspen]

like i try to download it from the vid and it says virus detected and wont install it on google

[zenith marlin]

from what vid?

[steady aspen]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hck4sFx2Qj0&list=WL&index=57

[zenith marlin]

ive got it here. try installing it from this

[steady aspen]

thnks

[zenith marlin]

yea

if that doesnt work we can make it manually very easy

[steady aspen]

it wont download that either

[zenith marlin]

kk. gimme 1 sec

[zenith marlin]

hl2 -allowdebug -dxlevel 90 -nod3d9ex +mat_dxlevel 90 -w 1280 -h 720 -noborder -windowed -debug +sv_cheats 1 +r_3dsky 0 -insecure +r_WaterDrawReflection 0 +r_WaterDrawRefraction 0 +r_shadows 0 +r_frustumcullworld 0 +r_unloadlightmaps 1

[steady aspen]

thank you 🙏

it works now

[zenith marlin]

good, im glad 👍

[steady aspen]

okay one more problem

[zenith marlin]

you need to install python.

go here, scroll down, click on "Windows installer (64-bit)" under Files
run this and make sure to install with PATH variable checked (itll be a checkbox option you'll see it)
then try that terminal command once its finished

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3106/

[zenith marlin]

oh, also, one more thing about the bat, i personally use 1280 720 when i run my game, if you want to bump up your resolution just Edit the bat and change it to -w 1920 -h 1080 or whatever you please

[meager oar]

U have pillow installed it says requirements are satisfied above in pip install pillow

[zenith marlin]

yeah so im not sure why it isnt working

webui.py opens a cmd window, but immediately closes

i see nothing afterwards

main.py spits an opengl error

according to when i ran the requirements.txt command myself, it said everything was installed and fine

so im not sure

[meager oar]

Maybe reinstall pillow again? pip uninstall pillow and then do pip install pillow, it should work it seems the webui can't find the module for some reason

[zenith marlin]

i'll give that a shot, ty

[zenith marlin]

seems the same result occurs. it runs through some text, but no webpage opens, i assume thats what is supposed to happen as with other AI

could it be my default browser?

im using a lesser known one

[zenith marlin]

seems it recognizes pillow but not PIL

throws this trying to install PIL

ive got a few things im tryin

@lament quartz sorry to ping my friend. but what python are you using to compile these scripts? one of the solutions online suggests pillow may not be installed to the correct interpreter and perhaps i need your version of python, if im understanding correctly.

[lament quartz]

I did not compiled anything

It should work on 3.10

But if you need it, my version is 3.11.4

If I remember correctly

[zenith marlin]

thank you. just not a well documented or common error. worth a shot.
massive respect for keeping this project going

[lament quartz]

No problems ❤️

[lament quartz]

I'm training new models, so it'll be better

🥰

[zenith marlin]

Sweet! Best of luck.

perhaps sometime we can skirt the python requirements

python is a fuckin pain and i bet its me having several versions thats causing problems

[lament quartz]

Nah I have different versions at the same time too

[steady aspen]

i launched gmod and now its just a white screen

[steady aspen]

nvm fixed it

[wintry trench]

What does your Garry’s mod folder look like

[keen rivet]

Oh that’s odd

[wintry trench]

been slaving away at textures

[keen rivet]

@lament quartz hows the training for the new models?

[mild mist]

how long would it take to do 1 maps textures

on average

[wintry trench]

We’ll depends on the map

flatgrass maybe 5-10 mins

construck, maybe 30

and other more complicated maps hours

[lucid hawk]

how??

[zenith marlin]

have you done any texture replacements?
I hate to be a beggar, but I've been unable to get octotex working because of some error that shouldn't be happening, and I am curious to see some of these textures properly interacting with the lighting

[zenith marlin]

ooh. Nicely done

[wintry trench]

ive done maybe a 100 some textures now

[lament quartz]

1829 epoch on normals

[modern granite]

i found a temp fix

i just set nvidiaremix cpu affinity to 1 core

[keen rivet]

good stuff!

[lament quartz]

yup

[wintry trench]

Anther suggestion is to set all the setting to low in Garry’s mod

[modern granite]

my game crashes when i go into advanced settings

any suggestions on how to change the settings without going into advanced?

[keen rivet]

are they ready to use?

[lament quartz]

normals yeah

but others are not

you can send me some pics for testing

[keen rivet]

i got one

[lament quartz]

waiting

[keen rivet]

lemme find it

[lament quartz]

okie dokie

[keen rivet]

i got 2 actually

try this

and

[lament quartz]

yeah np

where's the second one?

[keen rivet]

finding it

[lament quartz]

oh

[keen rivet]

this

[lament quartz]

okie

wait a bit, im training roughness model

[keen rivet]

okey

[keen rivet]

hmm

[lament quartz]

strangy

[keen rivet]

yeah i notcied its afraid of doing horizontal lines

does your img2img training process flip images for second rounds of training?

i know some stable diffusion training processes do that

[keen rivet]

this one is alright

[keen rivet]

i wonder what would be the best way to reconstruct the hashes from the original game file assets to lookup the filepaths of the texture to make replacing things easier

[lament quartz]

ooof

[lament quartz]

roughness

needs more training

[keen rivet]

thats alright too

[lament quartz]

sometimes looks good

[keen rivet]

do u know if it does this btw?

[lament quartz]

i've flipped all the assets so

[keen rivet]

flipped?

[lament quartz]

i mean, rotated

by 90 degree, every step

[keen rivet]

dont do that

[lament quartz]

why?

[keen rivet]

the normals wont like it

[lament quartz]

dude, i know what im doing

lol

[keen rivet]

notice how the top part is purple

[lament quartz]

i've flipped the normals too

stop

ik what are you talking about

im not that dumb

[keen rivet]

ok

just making sure

[lament quartz]

yeah

wait

i'll show you

[keen rivet]

maybe somethings wrong with a few of the flips

because its the only reason i can think of why the model gets so confused on vertical lines

[lament quartz]

first one is the horizontal

second one was rotated 90 deg

[keen rivet]

do you have the other 2 flips?

[lament quartz]

wdym?

i mean, i've rotated only 0deg and 90deg

[keen rivet]

oh

okay

[lament quartz]

not 180 and 270

[keen rivet]

it doesn't secretly mirror them either in the training process without your knowledge either does it?

[lament quartz]

it has a flipper

but i don't think that it works

cuz the old model has a reeeally huge problem with vertical lines

was even worse

[keen rivet]

yeah

[lament quartz]

i think y'know

[keen rivet]

thats why ive been wondering about this for a while

[lament quartz]

yeah

now i'll be better

[keen rivet]

huge improvement between these two as well

awesome stuff as usual

[lament quartz]

thanks

i gonna make new unbaker aswell

[keen rivet]

epic

you should try it with some 3d geometry

i've noticed longer stretched out shadows dont quite get 'unbaked'

[lament quartz]

yeah

[meager oar]

.

[mild mist]

ive been following Xenthio's installation guide until I get to the step with the python script in cmd, I get this error, any tips?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod>python applypatches.py .
Error: Missing file [garrysmod/bin/client.dll]
Loading bin/engine.dll

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod>

[half viper]

You are missing the client dll

Its in garrysmod/bin

[mild mist]

how do i get it if i dont have it

for whatever reason

[half viper]

You do have it

Its in garrysmod/garrysmod/bin

[mild mist]

I don't have the garrysmod/garrysmod/bin folder

it literally doesnt exist for me

https://i.imgur.com/qzlKhCK.png

[half viper]

You are on the 64bit beta branch right?

[mild mist]

yeah

should I not be?

Fixed

by switching out of beta

thank u for the tip

im an idiot

[half viper]

Don't call yourself that

Or i will smash your skull
You aren't an idiot

[modern granite]

let me call you that instead

[half viper]

Yes you can

Don't call yourself an idiot though

I'll get mad

If you do

[mild mist]

my bad

followed the guide but must have messed up somewhere

i dont get the rtx remix stuff at all

no alt X functionality

dont know where i messed up

[modern granite]

its broken sometimes for me too

just reboot ur pc when it happens

restarting the game doesnt fix it for some reason

[mild mist]

restarted pc

lets see if it works

still didnt work

[modern granite]

dang

you mightve missed a part

does the rtx remix notification show up when u boot up the game

[mild mist]

no

wait do i need to have portalrtx installed

[modern granite]

yes if you want less crashes

[mild mist]

well im installing it to try and just get it to appear

[half viper]

Put rtx remix in the bin folder

Garry's mod/bin

Not garrysmod/Garrysmod/bin

[mild mist]

https://i.imgur.com/nh1yMl5.png

i put the bridge in this folder here

and the dvxk stuff into the Trex folder

i've not put anything into the garrysmod/bin folder

what should i put in there

[half viper]

The trex folder and the d3d9 dll

Put it inside

Bin

Folder

[mild mist]

didnt do anything unfortunately

[half viper]

Show me your bin folder

[mild mist]

https://i.imgur.com/g98TJVu.png

[mild mist]

any clue?

[half viper]

Hmm

[wintry trench]

what the hell is d3d9.pdb and nvremix launder pdb

why is your folder so fucked up

[lament quartz]

what is pdb file?

[mild mist]

i don’t know

i need help has

hahahaa

[lucid parcel]

pdb files are debugging symbols, which make it easier for devs to track down crashes.

[wintry trench]

ah

[wintry trench]

Gar mod

[lament quartz]

realism mod...

[wintry trench]

Rtx addon 😨

[mild mist]

https://i.imgur.com/IVipKi8.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/TwIP3D5.jpeg

I can't seem to capture any scenes or even have any different lighting than usual

any tips?

[lucid hawk]

why can i see my worldmodel

thanks

[wintry trench]

Looking like a math teacher

[lament quartz]

where do we send crashlogs?

[lament quartz]

Psss, im uploading a new models

there's only normals and roughness

but still

roughness is still strange

but ok

@keen rivet
I recommend you to update the tool from github, and here's the new models ( normals and roughness )
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AKyWlZ75V0T6SvhaLwwIiCrJL3Cl_-s2/view?usp=sharing

[keen rivet]

alright epic

[lament quartz]

yaaay

[keen rivet]

it begins

[keen rivet]

do you know what this means?

just finished upscaling them all, then i went to pbr-ify them

[lament quartz]

some textures are really fat

or stretched

[keen rivet]

whats the limit?

and can i automatically skip the ones too big?

@lament quartz ?

[lament quartz]

i mean, if the difference between width and height is too big

i think so

[keen rivet]

well the textures that im trying used to work without issue

[lament quartz]

idk for sure, but maybe 4096

( Not sure )

[keen rivet]

do you know why it used to work but doesnt anymore?

[lament quartz]

yeah

i've commented the lines that crop the texture

[keen rivet]

oh

[lament quartz]

to allow textures be more wide

or different sizes

but works not that good

you can uncomment those lines if you want

it's in eval files

in ai/PBR folder

[keen rivet]

ayy thats nice

u should probably only do that if theres going to be no issues

[lament quartz]

i can try catch there

[keen rivet]

like just check if the texture is wide enough to fit within the limits

[lament quartz]

or just use if else

and check the sizes

[lament quartz]

yeah probably

[lament quartz]

that's how the new models handled these plates

[mild mist]

yes

[mild mist]

it’s called .conf but i’m p sure it’s still just a text file

is that okay?

[daring basin]

following this guide and the python script is saying that it cant find client.dll engine.dll or shaderrapidx9.dll. and suggestions?

[wintry trench]

Where’s your rtx conf?

I sent you both files you needed to have

Oh that was a different person

[wintry trench]

These

[keen rivet]

tiling is more easy to see but the roughness is nicer

not really sure whats up with the tiling tbh

seems to have gotten worse in tiling

has odd gradients

its much better at normals

roughness is a lot better too

looks a lot nicer on these textures lol

TILES 😍

so yeah now thats like the only thing left really

find a solution to the tiling problem i guess

i think what you could do to do that

is say we're trying to make this texture pbr-ified

you could run the model on this image

and blend each side of it together

so lets colour each one different for demo purposes

and then end up with something like the following maybe?

[keen rivet]

oh wait padding_mode exists

[keen rivet]

going to try regenerate them all with a circular padding mode

yeah normals are much better on this new model

compare lol

[keen rivet]

shadermodel set to 0?

[stray haven]

?

[stray haven]

do i put this in my gmod root folder?

[keen rivet]

yeah

does anything come up when you press alt+x ingame?

[stray haven]

yeah

[keen rivet]

ok good

[stray haven]

i put this in the root folder and now gmod crashes whenever i try to load a map

[keen rivet]

try a smaller map

[stray haven]

construct

im loading construct

ive got an rtx 3070

[keen rivet]

and also try copying the portal rtx shadermodeldx7.dll from its bin folder into the gmod bin folder

[stray haven]

garrysmod/bin
or GarrysModRTX/bin?

[keen rivet]

GarrysModRTX/bin

[stray haven]

its not there

[keen rivet]

stdshader_dx7.dll i meant whoops my bad

[stray haven]

something caused the roaring while i wasn't looking

whenever i touch a light entity (enter the space where it would be in hammer) it turns on

[keen rivet]

The RTX Remix Fixes addon helps that

[stray haven]

link?

[keen rivet]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3038853470

[stray haven]

so if i install that on my main gmod will it install on gmrtx?

[keen rivet]

yeah

[stray haven]

okay wicked

[keen rivet]

you can install it from the github manually too if you only want it on your gmod rtx install

https://youtu.be/hck4sFx2Qj0 if you came from the tutorial make sure to watch the whole video so you can setup the whole game properly. (including sky and making everything not super shiny)

[stray haven]

im like 4 and a half minutes in, right where you actually loaded in. now that i CAN load it im gonna finish it

hey could you send me the detail texture config ignorer thingey?

[keen rivet]

sure

here's my rtx.conf

[stray haven]

thanks!

[keen rivet]

you might have to turn down the graphics settings lol

[stray haven]

maybe haha

hell yeah this is radical

one last thing

is there any way i can reload all the lighting in the map?

i placed a light in the dark room and it wont turn off

lights still ONLY turn on when i'm near them

[keen rivet]

yeah some will

[keen rivet]

i place a camera facing away from the light and switch to it

[stray haven]

oki thank

also when i physgrab things my screen turns white

[keen rivet]

yeah

did you delete the game_shader_generic_garrysmod.dll

in GarrysModRTX/garrysmod/bin ?

[stray haven]

lemme check

oh i guess i didn't lol

thanks

no i did, i was in the wrong gmod directory

i looked in gmrtx and its not there

but my screen still turns white

[keen rivet]

hmm

[stray haven]

doesnt work
