[hexed hare]

[meager oar]

Zoooooooommmmm

also bruh minecraft textures changed hashes for some reason so now all the replacementd dont wrk 🥹

[half viper]

What resolution is that 😭

[meager oar]

its 1024 i think, i can get the 8k one though, also i just decreased the height and widt in map retexturer

this is how max height and widt looks like

[subtle bison]

is this even gmod anymore lol

[meager oar]

extreme pom

[glossy mauve]

the tool gun works now??

[meager oar]

yus

[subtle bison]

you can even make the screen emissive by marking it as a worldspace ui texture

[jade edge]

No, its GMOD Remixed 🤣

[compact blaze]

@meager oar do u think you’ll ever release these rtx assets as a mod on moddb

Cause @glossy mauve already did smth like that and it works really well

[glossy mauve]

i already forgot how i did that

[meager oar]

ill try

[glossy mauve]

lovely pom

Try turning off temporal reuse for extra responsiveness

[lapis delta]

i just worder, why is temporal reuse enabled by default?

[meager oar]

wow it's so much faster

[lapis delta]

can u show?

[half viper]

Helps with noise

[meager oar]

added pbr to all of the m9k assault rifles

idk why the capture isnt capturing g3a3 and Scar l

[meager oar]

yea without it the noise....

and with temporal enabled

[compact blaze]

Tbh it looks better without pbr

With pbr the gun looks very flat and pale

[subtle bison]

probably needs a proper PBR-ification, @meager oar what did you use to add PBR maps?

[meager oar]

yea probably need to increase the metalness slider

[meager oar]

Octatex

[jade surge]

because it has a major impact on how noisy GI is, its like %70 pf what makes ReSTIR so effective

I'd only disable it if you can use RR and even then it will have issues here and there

[hollow marten]

I've reviewed all your screenshots and I can say for sure. It's still in Beta, and I won't be going back to RTX-REMIX. Since I've been in GMOD for 9 years, mods may not work correctly. If the mods and maps work well, and you don't have to do everything manually. Then you can make a masterpiece machine!

[quiet scroll]

ok

if only remix could just read the existing material mappings and not require us to generate our own

[half viper]

@quiet scroll i think your bigcity package file is corrupted

i cannot extract it

keeps throwing an error at every texture file

[quiet scroll]

Something must've gone wrong when I zipped it - I'll fix it soon I replaced everything by hand before, but now there's a script that auto replaces everything, should make it a lot easier

[half viper]

oh also

uhm

do you accept some requests 🥺

[quiet scroll]

Of course!

[half viper]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3045727616&searchtext=crisis+response

this map is quite small

shouldnt be too difficult

:3

[quiet scroll]

You got it

[half viper]

thanks <333333

[quiet scroll]

Omg this map's beautiful, good pick good pick

[quiet scroll]

Uploading

[quiet scroll]

Uploaded! https://www.moddb.com/mods/crisis-response-rtx/downloads/crisis-response-rtx#downloadsform It might take a little while for the file to be authorized, but once it is you'll be able to download. I tried to make the cars outside windows into glass, but the models/textures were all one texture so I couldn't select them. I got the tv's tho! Upscaled with PBRify 1.5.2

[meager oar]

how mch time does it take for your mod to get authorized? https://www.moddb.com/mods/flatgrass-rtx/downloads/gm-flatgrass-rtx its been two days for this one

[quiet scroll]

The most mine has ever taken was an hour Did you also authorize the mod? There's a "go-live" button on that "checklist" page where you upload photos/add the files/videos etc

[meager oar]

oh 🥹 😭 🤣 dang it

[quiet scroll]

[half viper]

@quiet scroll is there a way to use multiple mods?

[quiet scroll]

I want to say yes? There has to be, I know for a fact RTX-Remix's has the water/fire, and I use CR's glass mod - so I'm using multiple. I've just never changed the mods "package" name, I don't seen an option to change it.

I'm gunna ask general if I can just rename the package folder to my mod titles.

[quiet scroll]

Oh yeah it works I just tested it - you can just rename the package folder to anything else and it'll load along with other mods.

Idk what would happen if two mods remixed the same texture tho, that might happen a lot in gmod. Maybe which mod loaded last gets picked on top?

[meager oar]

happened to me, the new one should overwrite the old one

or if u liked the older one more, u can simply delete that texture in the new mod folder

[meager oar]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/garrys-mod-realism-reshade/downloads/fabric-sofas

tis just adds fabric materials to the 3 default sofas and 2 bed props

[lapis delta]

why tf each of your mods has such a description like ✨its poem✨

[meager oar]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/fabric-sofas/downloads/fabric-sofassss ok this is the proper one, idk how on earth i added it to someone else mod uf

[meager oar]

its just chatgpt, idk what to add in the 50 word summery

[jade edge]

Brevity is the sister of talent

[stoic moon]

just say something like

replaces default prop textures with pbr
made with rtx remix in mind so probably go download that

[quiet scroll]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/gm-bigcity-rtx Updated! Fixed the zip folder, you should be able to download now. Also updated mod as original was nuked - now uses PBRify 1.5.2 🙂

[winter radish]

Did someone say RTX Nuke???

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-mushroom-cloud-atomic-bomb-bomb-boom-gif-4464831

[quiet scroll]

OMG WAIT THAT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA

I forgot about the nuke mods

with RR those would actually work

[lapis delta]

PLEASE GOD NO

UR PC WILL EXPLODE

[modest whale]

Yeah, that's what a nuke is made for

[quiet scroll]

A little underwhelming lmao

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-sad-anime-pout-anime-sorry-horimya-hori-gif-20710638

No mushroom cloud

[lapis delta]

gbombs?

[meager oar]

sandy wood

[meager oar]

i think need to use gbombs and at night time, thats where it might shine

[quiet scroll]

Which gbomb should I use? the workshops out of control

[glossy mauve]

the sparkliest one ✨

billion particles, crash everything

[loud mural]

Gbombs 5 or Hbombs

Although your not going to see anything cool because env_projected textures don't get picked up by Remix

[glossy mauve]

can you tie lights to particles O.o

[meager oar]

hmm i installed gbombs but i dnt see any of it in entity tab, imma try hbombs

[loud mural]

Gbombs 5 is weird because you need to get the correct fixed base to get it to work correctly

The original addon is unmaintained and iirc has a backdoor if it's still up

[meager oar]

500lb bomb

problem is the sky box makes the particle disappear so a flatmap wont wrk nice with it

[quiet scroll]

LMAOOO

even with godmode on you die and take damage after the blast, I've never seen anything trump console cheats

[wanton scarab]

It probably just calls the Lua :kill method on the player entity, instead of just applying damage instances

[meager oar]

ok i found the video,, idk why the current version makes anything set as particle disappear in the skybox, it isnt doing it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ziM-HJ4HuE

[glossy mauve]

we need RTX versions of mods lmao

or at least RTX compatible versions

would be sick af to have a volumetric model

[subtle bison]

wdym volumetric model? like a volume that makes any light in it volumetric?

idk if we can coerce remix into doing that but you can always make the transmittance lower so the volumetric lighting is thicker

[empty leaf]

well trying the new install gmod rtx and after patching it stops working

works befor i patch it after black screen crash

[lament quartz]

Woooow

the quality is bumped up alot

since last time i checked

[quiet scroll]

Nice, what guns mods were those? Sounds like a war

[half viper]

TacRP

some weapons cause the game to get rasterized tho

[scenic jungle]

[stoic moon]

[winter radish]

Yay it works

Just have to slowly go through my add-ons and see what works and what doesn't now

Has anyone tested multi-player in RTX?

[jade trellis]

it works yes

[winter radish]

Yay

Now I just need to find rtx friends to play with

[half viper]

I volunteer

Im sleepy now so lateeer

[winter radish]

Note: tried spawing a tardis, rebooted my computer

[rich glen]

lol

[glossy mauve]

does anyone have access to gwater 2?

[subtle bison]

no but iirc it uses external shader effects to function

Meetric would have to do a lot of work to get it working with remix

[winter radish]

Something I've noticed, TAA-U looks worse in Gmod compared to Portal

We really need FSR

[subtle bison]

too bad the glass pawns dont have shadows (because they are not implemented for non-thin-walled glass materials)

hopefully one day

[glossy mauve]

anyone knows a way to force load l4d1 models 😅

[keen rivet]

yeah

it doesn't work in rtx

[keen rivet]

i thought they would've worked with the patches if you have those installed

specificially the patch for datacache.dll

[glossy mauve]

i do!

sadly most addons and stuff don't seem to work even with the patches

maybe i just need a reinstall or you know my pc is cursed

classic ghost stuff

liminal O.o

[glossy mauve]

do not capture a backrooms map

[meager oar]

You'd be surprised

[half viper]

#general-remix message

[frail shadow]

LMAO WHAT?

I said that as a joke and it has already been done before

insane

[glossy mauve]

i love that video

anyone have a guess as to why the water is getting culled here?

[winter radish]

I see no issue

[winter radish]

Gonna be honest, RTX back rooms in Gmod with the best realism packs can be something truly horrifying

I've seen Gmod look realistic already, imagine that RT lightning

[glossy mauve]

i made some quick pbr materials and it looks quite cool honestly

well not best lighting to show them but

they're there X3

i might export them if anyone wants it

[winter radish]

The urge to put weeping angels is strong

[rich glen]

😭

[tired zenith]

can you use 64 bit version for some reason i cant go into the 32 bit one

[half viper]

The 64bit version is even more broken

[tired zenith]

I try but only get a black screen and i don't care how broken it is

[half viper]

Whats wrong with the game?

Like in 32bit version

[tired zenith]

idk wont work

[half viper]

Wdym wont work
Like doesn't boot up? Or not ray traced?

[tired zenith]

i cant get into the 32 bit one

[half viper]

It doesn't boot up?

Like instant crash?

[tired zenith]

yup skuck on 64

[half viper]

Or crashes when loading into a map

[tired zenith]

instan

[half viper]

You probably didn't install the patches

[tired zenith]

did

gtg

[loud mural]

It sounds like you are having the same issue my friend was having, and he was having it because he put shaderModel = 0 in his dxvk.conf instead of d3d9.shaderModel = 0

[compact blaze]

are u getting flashbacks to the liminal map u canceled

[glossy mauve]

"found this cool rock"

[modern quest]

lol

[meager oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86UYnfagmrA

[royal flume]

anyone experience a issue where you load any map and it immediatly crashes on the loading screen

[winter radish]

Only when I had my addons enabled, some of them were crashing the game

[livid rapids]

yeah probably too many addons or the map is unsupported

[winter radish]

Guys, am I insane for modifying my main Gmod and not a copy

[glossy mauve]

maybe

i keep a copy just cuz i wanna play vrmod sometimes

[half viper]

I do that

[winter radish]

I couldn't get vrmod working properly

[glossy mauve]

damn

we hope for the day we can vrmod RTX

[winter radish]

Hopefully I have a powerful enough GPU by then

My RX 7600 would not cut it

And I don't even want to imagine TAA-U in VR

[glossy mauve]

oooh

i've tried vr dlss

it made me oozy

hehe but honestly path tracing in vr would be really awesome

hope for one day in the future we have Remix 2 that can work on most games lmao

[winter radish]

Remix 2.0 goals

[winter radish]

Honestly, might only be worth it if someone has a 4090 and plays at a lower native resolution

[glossy mauve]

yeah i mean

my poor lil laptop gpu can't

[winter radish]

I know AMDs highest end card can only pull 1080p native at 30fps

[glossy mauve]

maybe it does work nice

[winter radish]

Probably still 100x better than the Steam Deck option

[glossy mauve]

lmao the crazy fellas running half life rtx on that

wild

powerful little thingy that one

hehe put a thunderbolt port on it and plug an external gpu

[winter radish]

That's gonna be me, lol

My goal is too at least hit 900p like in Portal RTX

[glossy mauve]

hehehe taht's awesome

i really wanted to get remix working with l4d

idk why the models wont load even with the patches

[winter radish]

The l4d engine is different from the other games

It's source but it's modified differently

[glossy mauve]

oh sorry i meant the l4d maps on garry's mod

it would be really nice if it worked on the game too but yeah

hehe glowing boomer bile would be cool af

[winter radish]

Ah

[winter radish]

I've only tried getting l4d 2 working

I should try l4d to see if anything is different

[glossy mauve]

from what i've heard it dosent work too

sad

i guess that's the cutoff limit

[meager oar]

I found two maps for l4d2 in gmod workshop that work and have everything shown nothing missing, one was the end chapter of the carnival map and the other the starting chapter of the first map

[glossy mauve]

interestin

probably recompiled models

if i have to do that i'll need a tool to automate it qwq

[meager oar]

Imma see if I can find them cause I tried those months ago

The carnival one was this one I think https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=196351411&searchtext=Left+4+dead+2

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1975517683&searchtext=L4d2+hotel

These are the two ones that worked

[glossy mauve]

thankies

[loud mural]

Because L4D maps are HDR only and Remix runs the LDR maps since the game is in dx80 mode

For whatever reason that kills all the props if the map is HDR only

Well any dynamic ones

[glossy mauve]

oh

hah

thanks that saves me a lot of time

I'll just recompile the maps then

[compact blaze]

hey @quiet scroll u online?

i wanna say rq that ur zip files in ur gmod rtx files are broken

most of the files just fail to fully extract

[quiet scroll]

Thanks for letting me know! That seems to be an issue. I wonder what's causing it to do that

[compact blaze]

what are u using to zip ur files?

[quiet scroll]

7zip, I should probably move to a different one

[compact blaze]

ya 7zip is prob the reason why its not working

i've used both rar and windows zip thingy

doesn't work when i extract

@quiet scroll have u tried using ur old zipped mods

and trying to unpack it with windows built in zip thingy

[tired zenith]

I got the game working, but now the maps won't open, and the menu is broken.

[quiet scroll]

Ruh oh some of them aren't working Bigcity worked for me, but I recently reuploaded that one. I'm gunna switch to WinRar. That's crazy, it didn't give me any errors I just kinda trusted 7zip

Thanks again! I'll start working on reuploading all the broken ones. There's a new PBRify model coming out soon, all the maps will get a nice upgrade

Just to make sure the results aren't just on my end - are you able to extract this one? https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-emil-residence-rtx/downloads/the-emil-residence-rtx

[compact blaze]

ok ill try

[compact blaze]

ya it extracts fine

[quiet scroll]

Thanks! And thanks again for the heads up

[compact blaze]

tbh i had this problem for like awhile i just didn't know who to tell here lol

until i saw u were the ones u made the stuff

[compact blaze]

when do u plan on updating the maps with the new model

also who's doing PBRify?

[subtle bison]

Kim at #1216200397497045002

[quiet scroll]

As soon as the new model releases, it looks like within the next week. If you have one you want me to work on first when it releases I’d be happy to do it

[modern quest]

i have a request 😛

that one you did early on with the lake and the giant glowing thing

[quiet scroll]

You got it! The dock has a lot of different kinds of wood, it’ll be cool to see what they look like now

[modern quest]

hopefully a ton better

as the main upscaler improves, the PBR does too as it has a better base to work with

[quiet scroll]

Ruh roh, is anyone able to load into this map with remix?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3034366709

Are hdr maps no longer supported? This one used to work

[meager oar]

bruh somebody try this map please https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3234757737

ma windows broke so I can't try it 😭

[rich badge]

Just wondering, how you guys package your per-map mods? Don't they conflict in some way?

[glossy mauve]

i usually just make a new mod and import only the layers that are important

[quiet scroll]

I make a new project per map, and make sure my captures are only of the map. I'm sure if multiple map mods are installed there'll be some conflict as the textures in gmod get reused etc. This made me think of a new feature request - it'd be cool if we could disable/enable mods in the runtime rather than just 1 "disable all enchancments" button. Hmm

[glossy mauve]

would also be nice to know what layer i have selected in the toolkit while editing so i don't have to redo all my work because i was in the wrong layer the whole time 😭

[quiet scroll]

Omg I crash when I get into this map too. What's going on

Is anyone else crashing when loading into some maps now? Dropzone and bigfekingmountain are doing it for me

[glossy mauve]

huh

[meager oar]

Can you try that mountain map and see if it crashes for you?

[glossy mauve]

it prob will lol

[meager oar]

Is every map crashing for you?

[glossy mauve]

ay it loads

[quiet scroll]

So far just those two, I'm able to load into everything else. It's concerning because dropzone used to work no problem, I wonder what's changed

[glossy mauve]

crispy 2 fps

[meager oar]

Da heck is happening in there

[glossy mauve]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

my version of gmod rtx is like really outdated

[quiet scroll]

gumball can you send your rtx.conf and dxvk plz? I wanna see if it's a me thing lmao

[glossy mauve]

i haven't updated with yall

sure!

[meager oar]

the map has like some cloud like particles at the top of the mountain, maybe that's what might causing less fps, imma check it later when I fix ma windows 10

[glossy mauve]

mhm

probably is

[meager oar]

You can try disabling the alpha blended options and it should remove stuff like decals and particles like those giving a very huge fps boost

[glossy mauve]

oh interesting

[quiet scroll]

Thank you! Hmm I get a black screen upon opening gmod with those

You haven't updated gmod with the latest install youtube video?

I'm wondering if there's a compatibility change between the two installs for some maps

[glossy mauve]

nope haha~

my version is very old

sorry it didn't work

[quiet scroll]

That's ok!

[quiet scroll]

Hey @keen rivet, are you able to load into this map, or the one a little below it? Dropzone used to work for me on the old way we installed gmod, but I'm crashing upon loading into it. Think there was any compatibility change from the old install to the new one?

[winter radish]

Going to see today if I can get this working on the Steam Deck, wish me luck

[glossy mauve]

ooo show pics if you do!

[winter radish]

Will do

[winter radish]

For some reason, the d3d9.shaderModel = 0 is crashing Gmod on the Steam Deck

That's the only barrier right now

[subtle bison]

finally got around to testing reshade

it works but i can not control it at all with a keyboard and mouse

i have to use my controller

im using reshade because i wrote my own ACES RRT tonemapping shader and a HDR post-process pipeline preset and I wanted to see how it looks with RT

[subtle bison]

i definitely prefer the bloom of my preset as it doesnt have that "halo" effect the remix bloom has

[winter radish]

Yeah, so it seems Gmod RTX will not load on Steam Deck because of the dxvk.conf

[quiet scroll]

PBRify 1.6.2 is SICK

[livid rapids]

damn

that POM, even if a bit too exagerated for me, looks very nice

I wonder if you can set values for different hashes?

It does wonders on the wall but the floor is maybe too much

[keen rivet]

lemme give it a try

[quiet scroll]

Yeah, I used an automated script that added heightmaps to everything without any fine tuning - it would've been nicer if I made fine adjustments 🙂

[modern quest]

the POM strength is definitely too high there. i usually use 0.01 iirc?

but yeah that looks great overall. i'm glad it's working well

[keen rivet]

loads but no sun for some reason lol

[quiet scroll]

hmm, are these your launch configs as well?

[keen rivet]

something like that yeah

[quiet scroll]

Sadge, I wonder what's going on on my end

[livid rapids]

interestingly, some very tiny lighting detail is lost with ray reconstruction

off

on

you can still see some lighting on the floor but on the roof and walls it's almost gone

[half viper]

It should work

If rtx.conf loads then so should dxvk.conf

[lapis delta]

hey @subtle bison can you test this takedown?

[plain blade]

Bro that music 💀💀💀

[winter radish]

I tried different shadermodels and only 2 works, 1 loads but there's no UI, and 0 just crashes, so it's loading the conf, but it's just not working for some reason

[half viper]

Did you apply the patches?

[winter radish]

Yep

[half viper]

Something went wrong with the patches

Did you replace the patched files with the old ones?

[winter radish]

Now I know what I did wrong

I'll try again today

[winter radish]

Update: I won't be able to try today

[compact blaze]

@winter radish ur on an amd gpu right?

[winter radish]

Yep

Already got Gmod RTX working on my RX 7600

[compact blaze]

How’s it like trying to run rtx remix on amd?

[winter radish]

RDNA 3 is a pretty good experience, RDNA 2 is what requires the most tinkering to get working playable

I wanna try getting Gmod RTX to run on my Steam Deck which should be similar to Portal RTX

My RX 7600 gets like 30-40 fps at 1080p with upscaling set to performance and medium RT settings

If I customize the upscaling to 33% which is essentially ultra performance, I can hit 60fps at 1080p

[compact blaze]

I hope someone gets fsr 3.0 working on rtx remix some day

[winter radish]

I hope so too, TAA-U and NIS are not the best

[meager oar]

I just want the frame Gen of it

[compact blaze]

ya but then people with amd gpus can use rtx remix and actually make it look good

[winter radish]

The only AMD GPU I know that can play at native 1080p is the RX 7900xtx

[half viper]

60fps?

[winter radish]

30fps

[half viper]

Ah

Sad

I really wished it did better than this

The 4090 can do 2k native 60 fps right?

[modern quest]

not really. 45 to 50 FPS a lot of the time

[half viper]

Good enough

[winter radish]

It seems to perform like around a RTX 3080

[plain blade]

Have anyone tested lossless scaling, I’m planning to buy it, is it worth it or nah?

[meager oar]

I use it, yea its good makes 30 fps feel smooth but it has some artifacts on the side which is improved in LSFG 2, not good for competitive games like css though cause frame Gen also adds input lag.

Also it has a lot of upscaling options which you can pair with ultra perf dlss and make it crisp looking instead of blurry

All in all a very useful tool imo

[plain blade]

The latency part does make sense

And overall I think this is really good program

It’s like download more fps but real

Bytw thanks @meager oar

[modern quest]

LSFG is good

i'd only use it for a base of 50 FPS+ though

[compact blaze]

https://github.com/CurlySparkle/ARC9-COD2019

can someone try this in gmod

[lapis delta]

it won't work at first, cuz there is no file for dx8 (how i remember)

[compact blaze]

i swear arc9 works with rtx remixx

[lapis delta]

i mean, models dont have dx8 file

[compact blaze]

it worked for me

ah ok

[lapis delta]

there should be a file like this but "_dx80" or "_dx70"

you can get these files, just recompile model

via crowbar or what you're using

[keen rivet]

dont need them anymore

if youre on latest version of blueamulet's patches

gmod will always load the dx90 version instead now

[compact blaze]

Does the Mwbase weapons work now or?

[keen rivet]

give it a try!

they might

[lapis delta]

OH JESUS

I JUST DELETED

AND NOW IM ON USUAL

[glossy mauve]

it doesn't for me 😭

[meager oar]

I finally got ma windows set up, win 10 just refused to install idk why so I got win 11 and it worked

[keen rivet]

what are you testing

[glossy mauve]

any model really

[glossy mauve]

anything dx9 just won't compile for me

[keen rivet]

compile?

idk about compiling models but loading them ingame should be fixed

[glossy mauve]

sorry i meant load

yeah i mean

it just doesn't for whatever reason

even with the patches

very weird

[lapis delta]

wait, models with dx90 don't work?

[meager oar]

tried a really old build of remix uff the ultra perf dlss is soo bad compared to current one woah

and plus remembering the night mares of using the old menu to find a specific texture. when selecting by clicking on the geometry wasnt a thing uff

[meager oar]

hmmm idk but i dont think i have seen sun shafts like these in the modern build, miss them

let me check

oh ok its working hmm looks like my old config had settings to make shafts more visible

but wow the difference of ultra perf from the old build and new one is insane how did they made it better

[meager oar]

Does anyone know why im getting this when i spawn props and npcs?

[quiet scroll]

Anyone able to solve the flashing water issue?

[meager oar]

probably one of the water textures isnt replaced

or got overwritten by another mod that has one of the water textures not replaced in it, can accidently happen and overlooked

check the recent replacement mod u added and see if it has a water texture in its folders, deleting that water texture should fix it i think

[quiet scroll]

you're an actual 5head mega genius Popo, thanks!!

[meager oar]

Do u also get issue like this with the glass in interiors of a car?

[glossy mauve]

set it to thin walled

[meager oar]

yea looks like the glass replacement is broken in octatex, time to install remix toolkit again for the glass i guess

[glossy mauve]

huh

[meager oar]

i made the texture as glass in octatex. theres a option for it but seems broken

[glossy mauve]

i'm dum and don't understand what octatex is but

just setting it as a glass workd

sorry lmao i have the artist tag idunno about anything X3

[meager oar]

ohhh i forgot, yea its like a non remix toolkit just like pbrify and etc

[glossy mauve]

interestin

[glossy mauve]

even with patches my water will never work 🥲

[quiet scroll]

Did you put the water mod into the rtx-remix mods folder, like this? From the steam rtx fixes page?

[glossy mauve]

yeah!

it refuses to work

i even made my own patches but that also just

it refuses 🥲

the water becomes a total mess whenver i use a animated texture

[meager oar]

what happens to it? like it becomes white?

[glossy mauve]

nope it uh

blurry mess

i'll show an example when i can

[meager oar]

hmmm just blur no reflections?

[glossy mauve]

oh no like

it's just

the texture is a mess

when it animates

[meager oar]

weird yea need to see it then can get an idea. when u can show it

[quiet scroll]

That's so weird, did you extract them?

[meager oar]

Yoo if its only doing it when u add the replacement in the mod folder then some settings might be messed up in your config causing that i think, idk try mine

[glossy mauve]

sure i'll giv it a shot ltr

but my file is pretty vanilla

[quiet scroll]

[glossy mauve]

ah cool

but the texture tough

is it just a normal?

[meager oar]

i think so, i only see normals in the mod folder for it

[glossy mauve]

ah

oh yeah lemme show what happens when i use it

huh

enabling ray reconstruction fixed it

yeah

[meager oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEFuiMfUF4E

[subtle bison]

I went ahead and redid the PBR for the mmod physgun

some of the original alpha textures were used to get roughness right and then there is some stuff added with substance

it looks good so far but i gotta fix the normals on the gun handles and some other small stuff

[subtle bison]

improved the look of the xen crystal, more glassy

made it more reflective for those who like shiny metal

its not correct on a material level but yeah it does look nice

[subtle bison]

here is what it looks like in first person

[meager oar]

dang, can u share it? also wch mod has this phys gun model

[subtle bison]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2035609495 the addon
as for sharing, relatively soon, ill be uploading it on moddb

[subtle bison]

its out

oh right it takes a day for the link to show

for those who want to try it now

[meager oar]

YUS

imma try doing most of the tfa insurgency weapon addons

[quiet scroll]

Nice work! It looks great ingame 🙂

[subtle bison]

it looks a little different on your game for some reason, by any chance do you have any of the PBR modifier sliders adjusted in remix?

[quiet scroll]

I thiiiiiink just the roughness set to 1, I think the default was .50 or something

[subtle bison]

it looks a little deepfried

it might be your metallic scale

let me check mine

[quiet scroll]

I think 1's the default parameter that comes with the runtime - it's set to 1 in a game I'm certain I haven't touched

[subtle bison]

huh, let me double check my ingame results with substance, i probably changed mine for some reason

oops meant to keep my remix panel open in the 3rd pic, metallic is at 0.5

[quiet scroll]

This might sound crazy, but I actually like the shiny rustic fried look - when the metallic is 1 - it reflects the lights as it passes by stuff

[subtle bison]

is my physgun mod the only thing that looks deepfried with metallics at 1 or does other PBR stuff as well?

i could reduce the roughness and metallics in half to compensate for remix

[quiet scroll]

I don't think I've actually seen a lot of metallics in gmod - I thiiiiink ocotex can make them, but I haven't really tried yet. But so far with mettalic at 1 nothing's looked wrong/out of the ordinary 🙂

[subtle bison]

personally for me, with how it looks with metallics at 1, its definitely too shiny

the physgun has very rough metal so it shouldnt be almost a mirror

that's just my take though

so ill try to get a middle-ground between realistic and shiny

[subtle bison]

it's less severe now

[quiet scroll]

It looks great!

[subtle bison]

adding some shinyness to these emissive lines towards the end of the gun

i dont know what material its actually supposed to be but it looks better than being a flat albedo texture

should be nice for reflecting light

it's kinda like plexi-glass

[meager oar]

this is how it looks for me, the rusty metal reflective metal looks nice

[quiet scroll]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2665902404 I wish this guy would make a weapons replacement, these are the best hl2 weapons in my opinion. It adds swaying and more animations

Here's it compared to the regular weapons replacements. I love moving around with them

[subtle bison]

i still have no idea why the albedo looks deepfried for both of yall lmao

i guess ill reset my PBR modifiers

[meager oar]

the metalness might be set too high? setting it max makes everything deepfried

[subtle bison]

yeah but from what skurtyyskirts said, metallics default is 1?

i think i was fighting this setting a few months ago which is why i probably set mine to 0.5 lol

[meager oar]

this is how it looks like at 0 metalness

[subtle bison]

yeah i imagine its going to lose a lot of contrast lol

most of the reflectiveness of this replacment is in both the metallics and roughness maps

[subtle bison]

i think i figured out the issue

i have some layering issues in substance so im gonna spend some time organizing it so it works properly in remix

[subtle bison]

yeah the metallic texture was not working correctly lol

the slider now only controls the metallic map as it should

[meager oar]

Endless desert

[meager oar]

kinda cool how the eyes also emit in first person

[lapis delta]

wait, what

[subtle bison]

probably because of xenthios playermodel shadow trick

the playermodel shadow is separate from the viewmodel buffer

so it can also emit light onto the world

[half viper]

remix bloom again proves its the most dogshit

[subtle bison]

that is why i promptly switched to reshade

only post effects i have on remix is the auto exposure and tonemapping without aces

the remix bloom is tweakable to look nice but it really makes the whole image washed out

[scenic jungle]

tried to make gmod look like it was recorded on a digicam

[keen rivet]

i wish remix could output in HDR

[winter radish]

I can't wait for all the super hyper realistic Gmod RTX screenshots

[lapis delta]

is it real life?

[meager oar]

uff i gotta try reshade

[meager oar]

this looks cool

[meager oar]

how did u install reshade? for me it seems to conflict with remix d3d9.dll

[stoic moon]

doesnt reshade only work in the outputted colorspace, meaning a tonemapped, sdr image?

wouldnt that lead to the image looking overexposed

using the bloom shaders, i mean

[subtle bison]

in a technical sense yes, but i wrote my own tonemapping shader that has gamma control so i can match the luminance of the original game output

and every other shader plays off the tonemapper.

[stoic moon]

ah ok

is that shader in remix or reshade

[subtle bison]

i wrote the shader for reshade and made the preset for non-rtx source games to have a HDR post-processing pipeline

[subtle bison]

all reshade

i still use remix's auto exposure with the remix tonemapper with aces disabled as i have my own aces rtt implementation

it integrates very nicely

[stoic moon]

huh

cool

[scenic jungle]

hey @quiet scroll how do you add that muzzle flash effect in this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Elxi64kDfjs

[quiet scroll]

This mod! It's different than the regular mmod guns - adding sway animations and different animations, it's my personal favorite. Should change the effects shot from the guns as well https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2665902404

[scenic jungle]

thanks but i meant like the npc shooting and having like muzzle flash lights sorry lol

and i cant really explain it that much

[quiet scroll]

Ahh, hmm I wonder if it's a texture I tagged. Here's my rtx.conf

[half viper]

Yeah tagging muzzle flash texture with light

Or

You can increase emissivity

[scenic jungle]

thanks

[meager oar]

doesnt muzzle flash already have point light attached to it?

[subtle bison]

you need to install reshade to GarrysMod\bin\.trex\NvRemixBridge.exe and select it as a vulkan application

the one major issue is that you cannot control reshade with a keyboard and mouse

i already had a preset configured beforehand so it wasnt much of an issue for me, but if you're doing it from scratch you'll have to use a gamepad

you'll get this error

[quiet scroll]

rip, I just accidentally unsubscribed to all of my mods

oh well, if I don't remember them resubscribing to stuff I guess I didn't need/use them

Is anyone able to load into gm_construct_in_flatgrass_rtx from the rtx-remix fixes addon? It just takes me to the regular non rtx construct

[subtle bison]

made the rtx water texture portable 😎

really good for maps that have broken instances for water (such as the one im on, cannot be replaced in remix so i got creative)

[winter radish]

That's not water, it's the tears of all the PCs trying to run this

[subtle bison]

[meager oar]

(rip my pc)

[quiet scroll]

Omg how

[subtle bison]

its two very large plastic prop planes with different materials

lower one is a random dirt texture, 2nd is the rtx water texture

mmm indirect light bounces my beloved

probably looks better when the water texture isnt super sized lol

[quiet scroll]

when did 3rd person in gmod get so good

[trail canopy]

the camera is taking 3 to 5 business days to caught up

[foggy sluice]

when they stole Fortnite animations I guess

[quiet halo]

how to fix this? I rolled back the driver to 552.44, reinstalled game, not working

[glossy mauve]

all this water stuff makes me wanna recreate this pic

[subtle bison]

bet

[night bramble]

holy crap I added a light and it actually showed up in-game

[stoic moon]

cant wait for rtx only maps to start popping up then gmod showcases are now actually gonna look insane

[glossy mauve]

hehehe i'm working on mine

[night bramble]

I can add lights to objects that didn't previously have lights now as well?!
I can't believe remix is actually working.

[subtle bison]

are these props/models or instances? you can tell in the debug view

xenthio fixed hash stability for most models a while back

[night bramble]

I'm not sure what they are.
They have a stable hash though.

In toolkit it's one mesh with a TON of instances around the map

[subtle bison]

yea its probably a physics or static model

brush geometry still isnt stable in source yet other than portal rtx iirc

[night bramble]

I notice the walls and floor are all over the place

[subtle bison]

screenshot?

[night bramble]

like the hashes

[subtle bison]

ah yea its brush geometry

still have no idea how that can be fixed in-engine

[night bramble]

good thing I don't actually have to mess with it outside of textures

[subtle bison]

yea

the only thing i can find it important for is custom placement of imported models/lights

adding a light to a mesh is less practical as every instance will have that light lol

really bad for map edits since other maps might use the same prop

[night bramble]

In this case it just so happens to work.
Being able to piggyback off of detected lights is nice as well.
I can put them wherever, as any type, and there is only one instance

[subtle bison]

i do have a theory that might work around this issue

there is a addon called primitive that basically adds procedural props (vary in size, shape, etc), they can be customized in any way and the best part is that they have stable hashes

the part that needs to be tested is if each procedural prop has its own hash, if so, you can spawn these around a map and add custom assets to them

and it would then be map specific

[night bramble]

Isn't that related to what you had to do pre-toolkit to add lights

I thought I remember something about needing that special lines and checkbox or something with a primitive

That one edit I made casually tripled the light count

[subtle bison]

not sure, most of my remix experience with garry's mod at least has been with the official toolkit

[night bramble]

rn I'm trying to figure out why Ray Construction is nuking shadows

It's so bad I thought the toggle box was reversed

[subtle bison]

make sure NRD training is off

[night bramble]

guessing that's new?

[subtle bison]

yea one sec

[subtle bison]

it works

if you combine this with map saves, we can actually make rtx specific map changes now

lmao

[night bramble]

I don't have that setting

Also DLRR is adding way more noise

mostly light boiling

I noticed changing the preset helps a lot with shadows, but adds way more noise on top of what's already added

[subtle bison]

must be a specific setting for the portal rtx build

i can share my remix config if i can remote back into my pc

[night bramble]

Hm
I wonder if it's just on but not visible here then

All I know is DLRR looks like pre-restir denoising currently.
Absolutely atrocious

[subtle bison]

yeah that swimming behavior shouldn't be happening

[night bramble]

Yeah I don't remember this happening when I used the Portal RTX release

Just found out the windows are acting like lights for some reason

this is with game lights and all lighting disabled too

[subtle bison]

make sure they're properly tagged, you could try enabling stochastic alpha blend

here is my rtx.conf for the portal rtx remix build

[night bramble]

For some reason toolkit won't launch anymore

just get's stuck on the splash screen

[subtle bison]

the remix toolkit splash screen or omniverse?

[winter radish]

Guys, pbr weeping angels when

https://tenor.com/view/sorrow-angel-guardian-angel-tears-garden-gif-6006214

[night bramble]

rtx.rayreconstruction.enableNRDForTraining = False

stealing this line

btw have the launch args changed

[subtle bison]

i use xenthio's, so not really

[subtle bison]

also i dont think that one line will fix everything, i would try the config itself first just to see if its a issue in the master build

[night bramble]

ok

[subtle bison]

my launch args (cant put it into a code block as my tilde key isnt working)

[night bramble]

that's your cfg
gonna grab the old one
I changed tonemapping settings so it looks a good bit different

[subtle bison]

oh right, i have most of my post process off as im using reshade instead

[subtle bison]

^

sorry i should've mentioned earlier

[night bramble]

Welp I can't steal that one line

okay now the game doesn't launch without your conf

wut

bridge crashes instantly

even if I remove the line

I just generated a new one

lmao now everything is untagged I forgot

oh wait

[subtle bison]

very cursed

good news is that we can import new meshes into a map without replacing an existing game one with the primitive trick

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

oops

[night bramble]

fresh generated conf vs yours

I guess the old one I had was just broken

since the game stopped working after I added yours and tried reverting

[night bramble]

what is that in

[subtle bison]

blender

im importing the mesh im gonna replace (not that in the screenshot) and the remix capture

then manually aligning them, then i add new meshes, delete the capture before export and boom done

we'll see if it works

[night bramble]

any idea why shadows get blurrier the closer they are to the edge of your screen

[subtle bison]

screenspace denoising?

also the penumbra effect

[subtle bison]

holy fucking shit

its possible

🔥

all that's left to do is hide the primitive mesh and disable collision and them boom, custom lights and models on a map

default cube in gmod

blender for reference

ill probably make a video tutorial for this

this is gonna change mapping big time

[night bramble]

What about texturing

[subtle bison]

since im working with USDs in blender, you can add the textures to new meshes in blender and then export it into remix

it should load it all when imported into the toolkit

[night bramble]

See you just import your remix project into blender?

[subtle bison]

im importing the capture and the procedural model, then aligning them so when any changes are made in blender, they are 1:1 back into the map

[night bramble]

Guess I’ll see when you make a tutorial.

[subtle bison]

might be a bit, still at work and ill see if i have time when i get home. i can at least say i can make a text tutorial in this channel sometime today

[night bramble]

Do the material replacements still require the stock aperture materials btw?

[subtle bison]

hm?

aperture materials?

[night bramble]

Idk how it works now that it’s in toolkit.

Say I want the glass panes to be glass material

Before we had to use aperture_translucent as none of the Omniverse materials worked

And then there was aperture_opacity and something else. Had to import from portal RTX

Not at my computer anymore so I can’t just check

[subtle bison]

oh nothing like that now, its as easy as ingesting your materials through the toolkit and then replacing the material

[night bramble]

Well I don’t mean textures

It’s the actual PBR material. Lemme see if I can find an example from the past.

[subtle bison]

like a roughness map?

[night bramble]

No

Not a texture or map

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1116089843479498782/1149456304746811392/image.png?ex=6659985a&is=665846da&hm=9000e91964cba6a8d2bda18c3ab3d481218f6302921d3686fd3605139b406efe&

Literally translucent glass

[stoic moon]

wait hold up what does this mean

[night bramble]

More recent example:

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1116089843479498782/1218733720987500624/image.png?ex=6659d17a&is=66587ffa&hm=b3e293e0f5768bd96d438592b57fe42e201c02ed83ae5b11e8d3b5ed1413e8ae&

It can be like metal, wood, etc too

[subtle bison]

ah no it doesnt really give the user any choice of what material type it is, the way how its done in the toolkit is defining a roughness map, or other PBR maps from what I have seen so far, though i am interested in trying that other method. I assume you do this in USD Composer?

[night bramble]

That’s how it was done in the past yeah

[subtle bison]

it means you can overlay new meshes and lights in a map

[night bramble]

It think it might be in the asset creation thread at the top. People have talked about it in here as well. I think also in general from when I was asking about it.

Other PBR maps like metalness and such make really good one way glass.

[stoic moon]

was it not possible before?

[subtle bison]

yes but using a procedual prop with stable hashes fixes a lot of issues

[stoic moon]

ah ok

[subtle bison]

so changes can now be map specific instead of model specific

[night bramble]

Would this work to replace something existing though?

[stoic moon]

ohhhhhhhhh

[night bramble]

Or just add to the map?

[subtle bison]

you could technically flag textures for remix to ignore and then manually add new stuff back in blender

as for meshes, probably not

though you can do a lot of that work in gmod itself

overlaying new stuff is probably the best route anyway since we can respect collision ingame

(sort of, depends on what assets you're adding)

[subtle bison]

my question is there any benefit to using defined materials vs PBR maps?

[night bramble]

Yeah. At least for glass, you get refraction and all that other fun glass stuff

[subtle bison]

hm? refraction also works with normal PBR maps in the official toolkit

lemme reply to an example

[night bramble]

Yeah maybe they’ve update how they work compared to composer

The glass material always looked way better than just a map before

[subtle bison]

the only issue with refraction is that it doesnt cast light or shadows

nv mark said its not implemented yet since the last time i asked him

so glass only has shadows if you mark it thin-walled which removes the refraction

[night bramble]

#1103377328530276403 message
Guessing I’ve only really tested on fake windows

[subtle bison]

dear lord

looks great

[night bramble]

The metalness map carries.

[subtle bison]

here is what i was talking about

[night bramble]

Is that the same texture just with the thin wall toggle or?

[subtle bison]

yes

its a procedural block of glass with fractures in it

[night bramble]

Guessing the second one is thin wall?

[subtle bison]

1st one is, it's casting shadows and has no refraction

im trying to find my video example

one sec

[night bramble]

Oh I forgot you said no refraction

[subtle bison]

yea thin-walled disables it for some reason (i assume its intentional)

[night bramble]

Can’t even tell it doesn’t have shadows due to the refraction and thickness anyway

[subtle bison]

finally found it

this one shows you

you can see the lack of any shadows on the cube

i verified this with a thinner object and its the same issue

[night bramble]

Ah yeah that’s wacky

No transmittance at all

[subtle bison]

yea i hope it gets added

can do some trippy stuff with it

[night bramble]

Guess I never took an image with colored glass material replace

Fairly certain all the features of glass worked with the material replace

[subtle bison]

if you can reproduce it please let me know

[night bramble]

I’d have to reinstall composer and look for the guide again

Idk if it’s still as jank as it used to be since it was almost a year ago. I saw something about someone doing a gold metal material in here a month ago

For the Freddy fazbear thing

Just saw something about clicking on a material to make it translucent

Still looking for the original guide just takes forever on mobile

#1116089843479498782 message

Looks like it’s possible

But idk if it the same as the old material swap

[subtle bison]

oh yea that's just turning down the roughness in toolkit

if there is no map specified you can just change the variables

same for metallics, etc

[night bramble]

i wouldn't really associate the release year with compatibility, at least for source games as most source games have fixed function fallbacks

[quiet scroll]

That's so cool I figured they only added features here and there on top of source, this makes more sense

[keen rivet]

what map is this so i can try reproduce

Don't know if you see further down, but I had a legacy config and it seems to work now
Also those pics are with non default lights

[winter radish]

Well I would suspect it indicates the version of the Source engine they're using, fixed function was removed around Left 4 Dead

[night bramble]

I'm still hoping for NMRIH compatibility

I wish I knew what was special about it that breaks it

[subtle bison]

yes but source games branch in different directions, such as black mesa, its one of the more modern source games but it still has dxlevel controls

[winter radish]

Mmm, it would seem dx8 was supported till the 2013 Source engine

[subtle bison]

its still supported in sdk 2013

[winter radish]

Makes me wonder if Portal 2 could be ported to a dx8 compatible engine

Someone ported Portal 1 to a newer engine

[subtle bison]

if you had the source code naybe, but portal 2 is based on l4d's engine iirc

ah nvm it has its own branch

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Portal_2

[winter radish]

Yeah, I believe Portal 2 got it's own modified engine

One of the most advanced out of the branches

[subtle bison]

welp i just had a power outage and the server that had my gmod rtx install and all of the mods is dead

while the drives themselves might be fine, they're SAS only and it was in a ZFS array which basically means it was unique to that machine, the data might not be recoverable

ill manage as i have uploaded plenty stuff here and online so it shouldnt be that much of a setback

[subtle bison]

ok well nvm the outlet got fried not the server

phew

[modern quest]

get a good surge protector if you don't have one

[subtle bison]

yeah it was plugged into one but i didnt bother trying the surger protector on another outlet until just now 😅

[modern quest]

ah 😛

well, i'm glad it's all okay

losing such an important thing is scary

[subtle bison]

yeah i definitely need to implement a 3-2-1 backup solution after this

[earnest yew]

ive tried

it takes a whole rewrite

[night bramble]

Okay I lied about getting a light to be where there wasn't a light before

[night bramble]

I got it working for real

[scenic jungle]

how do you do it?

i dont wanna use rtx captures

its a pain in the ass to use

blender tho

[night bramble]

Blender

and a capture

[half viper]

@keen rivet can you add a way to control the brightness of the flashlight?

plus is there a way to disable the ingame flashlight?

because it causes blood and bullet decals to lose transperncy and go white

[meager oar]

need that 😭

[scenic jungle]

uhh

i replaced the rtx conf

and now the map has shitty fog

[subtle bison]

make sure volumetric fog is off

[scenic jungle]

i did

and it makes everything look

uglier

so i kept it on

[subtle bison]

how does turning it off make it look "uglier" lmao
the fog is either on or off

[scenic jungle]

no really

let me show you

[scenic jungle]

look at this

it burns my fucking eyes

[subtle bison]

there is something very wrong going on

[quiet scroll]

Uh oh. You know, I wonder if there’s something funny going on with sharing rtx.confs - I tried POPO’s rtx.conf and my game got cursed lmao

[scenic jungle]

lmao

[quiet scroll]

It’s like it’s not translating like it should when used on someone else’s machine

[subtle bison]

hold on mine doesnt have this fog issue, i can send it

(if it doesnt make it worse lmao)

[scenic jungle]

HOPEFULLY

[subtle bison]

i have a lot of post-process stuff off so you will have to turn it back on if you prefer

its also based on the portal rtx build and not the master builds on github

[scenic jungle]

oh nice

it fixed it

[quiet scroll]

I wonder what mine was doing

[keen rivet]

I can add a way

[keen rivet]

I can also add a way to do this

[scenic jungle]

props for some reason fade away when i go far away

[meager oar]

In froxel tab turn all the single scattering albedo to a lower value like 0.1 or less

[subtle bison]

dear lord photogrammetry models look great

water car

gm_watergrass

mmm refraction

uhh oops
