[subtle bison]

did i just create a lens?

[subtle bison]

my attempt at using stable diffusion for PBR materials (not like octo tex, i generate a new albedo based of the original and then use photoshop/substance to make the PBR maps based off the new albedo)

i like smudges it adds ngl

adjusted the roughness a bit, definitely looks good now

gmod wood vs SD upscale

insane detail when you zoom in on the SD one

though this one is much closer to the original texture

[night bramble]

Which SD upscaler

[subtle bison]

just using a merge of SD 1.5 models i've had for a few months

im not directly upscaling, im using img2img with controlnet/tile on automatic1111

it gives me a lot more granular control on what the output will be

manually made some heightmaps for the wood 🤤

its subtle but it really brings out the higher-res detail

[night bramble]

Ah gotcha

Haven't tried using SD for any texture stuff, will have to see how it goes

[subtle bison]

if you're doing a manual workflow like mine, its a real pain in the ass lol

but it usually looks decent since there is a lot of manual labor

[night bramble]

Could probably automate it and add TRT and it'd be super fast

[subtle bison]

TRT?

[night bramble]

Enables Tensor Core Acceleration on SD models

It's an extension in the panel

Makes generation hilariously fast

[subtle bison]

i dont think it can be automated, im using specific prompts and parameters for each image as i have not found any settings that work for everything

[subtle bison]

would it even work for RTX 2000?

[night bramble]

Any tensor cores

Lemme pull it up

[subtle bison]

TensorRT?

[night bramble]

yes

[subtle bison]

i've used it before but i've had some issues with controlnet consistency

[night bramble]

Yeah it does have some strictness to it, but idk how it affects controlnet

You have to bake in loras and other things into the engine profile

[subtle bison]

im using the ultimate SD upscale script in img2img combined with controlnet/tile so I can still upscale 2K+ without having to worry about vram or artifacting

its very reliable

also works with tiling

dear lord this is my best results yet

[subtle bison]

also released the material fixes for the mmod physgun
https://www.moddb.com/mods/half-life-2-mmod-pbr-physics-gun/downloads/half-life-2-mmod-pbr-physics-gun-release-2

[quiet scroll]

Cool little find - this map creator actually put a light source into these lightbulps, never seen that before

He figured out later they wouldn't show well in game and put them outside to emulate the light

much better

[glossy mauve]

oooo

would be perfect for some SSS

[glossy mauve]

you can aways set the props to not catch shadows :3

[meager oar]

uff the mmod crowber is broken, the texture is just black even after replacements

[quiet scroll]

Whatttt, how?

[glossy mauve]

oh on hammer

[meager oar]

i tried wild west mines after some time and its running very bad da heck happened, it was the smoothest map before, the fps is fine when standing still but is destroyed when moving

[quiet scroll]

Weird, wild west is performing ok for me

Ahhh hammer, I haven't touched hammer in a loooong time

[night bramble]

Oh yeah

gmod doesn't like mounted nmrih maps

[meager oar]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/insurgency-weapons-rtx

[clear tendon]

Oooooo what skybox u use in this?

[meager oar]

GCS summer day, its a addon from the work shop, u type sv_skyname summerday to apply it on any map

in console

[clear tendon]

Ah awesome thanks

[quiet scroll]

PBR time

[quiet scroll]

The ETA is def wrong, but I'll start a timer lmao

[quiet scroll]

Complete! 2 hours and 3 minutes to upscale

now to ingest

[solemn sail]

are you using pbrify 1.6.2?

[quiet scroll]

Yes It looks like a new model's on the horizon soon, I'll be able to update it with that model when it comes because the captures so conveniently available

The capture is REALLY drawn out - I wonder why they say "most enemies" and "some weapons" when it seems top to bottom. Like, why not just grab it all? I guess I'll see when I boot it up after ingesting.

[solemn sail]

are you generating height maps? will you also be posting the mod publicly somewhere? would really like to try it out

[quiet scroll]

No height maps this time around I might add them later tho. I'm using a script to auto replace all the albedo textures - the one that adds height maps subsequently adds a height map to everything so it kinda looks wonky. But I'll see, it's probably a skill issue on my end, probably gotta find a way to auto set it to 0.001 and go from there manually getting it higher for things that need it 🙂

And yeah! I'll add it to ModDb when it's finished so everyone can use it - it'll add PBR to all of Half Life 2, and susequently most of Gmod

I'll let it run all night, I'm guessing it'll be done early morning

[solemn sail]

only normal maps? no roughness maps?

[quiet scroll]

oh yeah and roughness maps

[quiet scroll]

Oh I just noticed this, there's a load order for workshop addons. I guess this hasn't caused any issues so far with RTX Fixes

I can't tell if RTX Fixes being 1 is good or last is bad lol

[meager oar]

[quiet scroll]

We got 'em boys

It worked! Gunna try and adjust the roughness maps on npcs. I feel like 1.0 isn't high enough cuz they still seem kinda shiny. HMm

[scenic jungle]

so i captured a scene

now how do i open it

in blender

[clear tendon]

Damn i wish stormfox 2 would work without enabling 3d skybox

[scenic jungle]

silent hill is that you?

[quiet scroll]

So I'm gunna release the entire Half Life 2 PBR texture pack, but it's going to be as is. I went in a little and adjusted some glass, but that's about it. If you want a fine-tuned experience you'll just have to wait for the Half Life 2 Official RTX launch

Fine tuning this would kinda be a waste of time/put me in a rabbit hole of what else needs adjusting etc

[night bramble]

Ray Reconstruction is getting rid of all the direct lighting for some reason

[half viper]

@quiet scroll hey uhm

can i request a map?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3039956752

metal surfaces everywhere

[quiet scroll]

You got it PBRify only generates normal/roughness maps if that's ok. There's an old Octotex that generates metalmaps, I'll see if I can figure that out but uhh, yeah I"ll try

[winter radish]

Finally did it guys

Gmod RTX on Steam Deck

[quiet scroll]

Was hoping the PBR set would be ready yesterday, but the upload failed twice now, after hours and hours of upload later. Here goes attempt number 3

[jade edge]

HL2 Maps
REMIXED

[meager oar]

Why is it failing file size big?

[meager oar]

Man steam deck is strong...

32 fps dang

[quiet scroll]

Nah I think it's either my upload speeds or Moddbs upload speed. The mod's 30.4gbs in total, Moddb's limit is 51.2gbs

[winter radish]

Until it gets hit with an RTX destructible tower

[meager oar]

I mean I also have trouble with destructible maps just destroying my fps both in normal gmod and rtx so I think that's more of the game engine issue

[winter radish]

I wish the Tardis worked with RTX

[compact blaze]

show us fps

[winter radish]

That's what "gamescope" is

[compact blaze]

ah ok sry

@winter radish have u tried lossless scaling with it?

[glossy mauve]

showcase this :0

[winter radish]

I don't really put upscaling on top of upscaling

[compact blaze]

Nah it has a frame generator

[quiet scroll]

Released the entire game PBR pack for Half Life 2 🙂 https://www.moddb.com/mods/half-life-2-rtx-pbr-assets-not-official-rtx-mod

[earnest yew]

please do css

cause alot of gmod addons use it

[quiet scroll]

Oh waitttt that's a good idea. Waittttt that's genius. I could load in the HL2 campaign capture, go into the CSS maps one by one doing captures, and day of defeat source.

Are there any other source games gmod maps utilize?

And then I could release it as a PBR pack for Gmod

[earnest yew]

its mostly

hl2

and css

but you can try other games

wouldnt hurt

but it will be like 100 gigs

lol

[quiet scroll]

Yeah, maybe I'll leave out day of defeat to reduce the size. Haven't really seen a lot of maps say it's needed

I'll start making it when the new PBRify model comes out, it looks like they're testing a new one rn

[earnest yew]

does the auto pbrify thing

does it add like sheen

i mean like metallic

or it just pbr

just in general

i have no idea abt allat

[quiet scroll]

Lol just normal and roughness maps. I tried using an old Octotex but it wasn't working for me last night, and the newer versions discontinued and the links died

[earnest yew]

gochya

[modern quest]

PBRify does also do height maps, but it's kinda not good. still working on a solution for that

[modern quest]

and yeah, hopefully soon 🙂

picking between two versions of the model right now

[winter radish]

It's actually really enjoyable on the go

[quiet scroll]

Omg! Is that one of my mod maps? Do they work on the Steam Deck?

[winter radish]

Ye

I need to adjust my config, some of the tweaks I made for Portal do not work on Gmod

Also I forgot you can load half life 2 maps, but I'm not going to use Gmod's engine as an accurate performance reference for optimizing Half Life 2 RTX

Still cool to see on Deck tho

[quiet scroll]

vualaaa https://www.moddb.com/mods/gm-deep-sea-rtx

[half viper]

AWESOME!!!!!1

thank you!

[quiet scroll]

You're welcomeeee Lemme know if there's like a flashing effect when the water gets in after breaking a window. For some reason it doesn't happen when you use the use the flood gates getting out of the ship, it only happens inside. Atleast for me

I wasn't sure how to fix it - I made sure there was no water in my capture so none of the textures would overwrite Xenthio's water mod. I think it's remix just updating every frame water updates in the map maybe?

[winter radish]

It'd be cool to see a map like this with RTX https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=132940295

[glossy mauve]

i'd love this 🙌

[meager oar]

why isnt LVS wrking like the cars arnt being shown in vehicles and entity tab

[meager oar]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/snow-bowl-oval-rtx/downloads/snow-bowl-oval-rtx/#8785077

[compact blaze]

@quiet scroll i want to ask did u release your updates to ur previous remix mods?

y'know where it uses the new pbr update

[quiet scroll]

Some of the mods got updated to the new PBRify model because the original folders couldn't unzip - but I don't think I'll update the other ones that didn't have the unzip problem for now and kinda focus on making more maps 🙂

[compact blaze]

ah ok

https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-sea-railway-rtx

so this has the new model?

[quiet scroll]

I went ahead and starting taking captures of this one - but I thiiiiiink this means maybe I shouldn't try? I see this alot with bigger maps 😦

[quiet scroll]

That one still has the older model, Gm_Assault, and Gm_Dropsdone got updated with PBRify 1.6.2 - BigCity got updated with 1.5.2 also

[compact blaze]

ah ok

[quiet scroll]

But if you want, I can update that map with the new model. There's an even newer model of PBRify coming out soon tho, so it might be best to wait

[compact blaze]

its fine its fine

[compact blaze]

@glossy mauve lmao look whats in my recommended again

[glossy mauve]

lmao that vid is so boring

[night bramble]

any way to add fog

[subtle bison]

@glossy mauve just curious, how did you get the pure mirror material?

[glossy mauve]

make it White albedo, full metallic and no roughness

[meager oar]

Turn volumetric lighting on, you can set the strength by messing with the Albedo scattering options in Froxel settings if the fog is too much or too less

[night bramble]

oh I thought it was the map + volumetric lighting thanks

[quiet scroll]

• counterstrike

Here we go again

Gmod + CounterStrike PBR texture pack for maps incoming

I'll be sure to get the half life 2 weapons in there as well, and the gravgun and toolgun

[quiet scroll]

I underestimated how many css maps there were

[quiet scroll]

CSS capture done, onto upscaling phase Gunna let it run while I get some eep

Ahh wait, hold up - there'll need to be 2 separate PBR mods, if I combine them into 1 pack it'll go past ModDB's upload size

[glossy mauve]

yayyyyy thank you

[quiet scroll]

What the

There's 3048 textures

so after PBRify that's 9144

It's gunna be bigger than hl2

[jade edge]

I guess because HL2 overused a lot of its own textures

[quiet scroll]

Yeah I guess so, I thought CSS was going to be a tiny ontaking lol, maybe 5-6 maps that would reuse a few textures from hl2 and some of their own

Upscaling just finished! Going to let it ingest overnight, mod should *hopefully *be up by tomorrow night I'm projecting, if not midday

[modest whale]

60gb mod ☠️

[quiet scroll]

Pretty much, this stuff is kinda making me realize Half life 2 rtx is probably going to be bigger than I originally thought

[modest whale]

Yeah but i don't think they gonna use 4k texture everywhere, it's an "official" release, they have to optimize it

[meager oar]

finally moved over to latest version of gmod, i think i was using the one that was like a year or 8 months old

for some reason they changed the crosshair

[compact blaze]

Bruh how did it still run at all

Did addons not like slowly break overtime?

[meager oar]

i didnt notice much, only LVS stopped wrking for some reason few days ago but now it wrks

[lost bone]

you can bring the old one in the settings
they added crosshair customization

[compact blaze]

What’s LVS?

[humble mango]

a base?

[meager oar]

its a vehicle base for cars, tanks, planes and helicopters and now for simphys

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2912816023

[compact blaze]

Ah ok

[winter radish]

I love that addon, I usually make NPC planes fight each other

[meager oar]

yea cool theres foxhole vehicles for it aswell

[quiet scroll]

I started the ingestion process this morning at 4am, it’s now 4pm and it’s only 50% done 💀 It took a looong time after pressing Add to Queue for everything to start moving

[meager oar]

Oh my... Well I guess u need to take a tini bit of sacrifice for us 😅

[quiet scroll]

At whatever cost to get it up

[quiet scroll]

Chattttt

Ready for upload, it came out to 35.4gbs

[night bramble]

How many files

[quiet scroll]

9052 textures My pc has been working 'round the clock lmao. This upload's going to probably take all night as well

[humble mango]

it's time

[modest whale]

Nice, now do every gmod workshop map plz 🤓

[meager oar]

now somebody needs to make the breakable glass of office, havana and assualt alongside there shards as translucent in Remix toolkit

[quiet scroll]

It's live! https://www.moddb.com/mods/skurtyys-counter-strike-source-rtx-pbr-assets

I dd a few fixes for the glass, not sure if I got all of it tho. Included Gm_Construct and Flatgrass, as well as Gm_Construct_RTX. Got all the Half Life 2 weapons and the Toolgun.

Made an rtx.conf for the files as well as CSS had a LOT of detail textures

Now to take a looong nap, my pc hasn’t turned off in 2 days

Oh, this pack also has the new PBRify model, 1.7.0! It’s the best model yet

[meager oar]

dang like office glass? and its breakable shards? theres also two glass models one in assualt T base and the other at havana t base

[quiet scroll]

Yeah! I got the windows, and the thin vertical ones. I also decided to do the wired unbreakable glass. I thought about leaving it, but it would turn a greenish hue and stuck out like a sore thumb - so I get the normal map on it and made it translucent

Not the best, but better than what it was lol

[half viper]

one critque of your ai upscaled textures
i think the normal maps should be stronger

it looks way too flat

other than that

i love it!

[glossy mauve]

soo

anyone else experiencing crashses on map load?

[quiet scroll]

Was there a setting you unchecked to stop the water flickering?

[keen rivet]

rtx io

[quiet scroll]

Ahh, is it a setting in parameter settings?

[keen rivet]

you change it through the config

[quiet scroll]

You're the best Xenthio, thanks again!

subscribe to this to get rid of them https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2961222721

[harsh thunder]

ok thanks man

I sould have thaught about it but for the last 50minutes I was looking for the halos in the rtx remix menu

[clear tendon]

yeah I am as well. Most maps didn't crash as much until the newer applypatches.py

[glossy mauve]

nope i uh

realized it was my playermodel lol

[clear tendon]

oh kk, i'll have to disable all my addons then. I got a shit ton which is probably what's causing random crashes or even loading up a map

[compact blaze]

Ya I’m experiencing crashes as well

On map load

Had to disable random addons until it worked again

[glossy mauve]

im still having this weird bug where the ui gets stuck on the load screen- can hear the game if i move or shoot but its stuck on that screen

[quiet scroll]

Hmm, want to try my rtx.conf and dxvk.conf? Is the resolution at 4k?

[glossy mauve]

it's at 1080-

it's rly weird because it's pretty random when it happens

sometimes it does, some not

my guess it's a Vram issue

lmao i tried making a map with a single 8k texture and my pc bluescreened X3

[subtle bison]

sometimes the remix bridge crashes during map load, that's why the game still works even though it looks like it's frozen

[glossy mauve]

interesting

[glossy mauve]

anything i can do about that? 😅

[subtle bison]

i don't think so, it's pretty random when it happens so im not sure how to find the underlying cause

[glossy mauve]

yeah fair

game might be choking the program or just a random error

[subtle bison]

i dont think its gmod itself, just the bridge, you can double check by looking in task manager when it freezes

gmod should still be running but the remix runtime bridge either is frozen or already closed

[fathom dome]

Will you make episodes, they have less textures than hl2 and are more or less common in gmod maps

[quiet scroll]

You got it

I’ll start work on that tomorrow, I don’t think there’s a game capture on moddb, so it’ll take a liiiiitle longer, but I can just host_timescale 30 with godmode on and capture speedrun them all

[fathom dome]

Thank you!

[jade surge]

I went to update remix and now it crashes soon after if not right as I enter the game

I downloaded DXVK Remix and Bridge Remix, shoved the stuff in DXVK into the .trex folder, and shoved it into the gmod bin folder

is there any other step I need to redo?

[half viper]

afterburner overlay on?

reapply the patches

[jade surge]

afterburner is not on, I'll try reapplying patches though

reapplying patches didnt seem to help

maybe I gotta re yoink the portal RTX dlls

so I opted to just try a fresh gmod install

I mean, its "working"

ok as it turns out its not working at all

this is rasterized

going onto a normal gmod map, well it just works like normal gmod

[jade surge]

so I'm guessing this is an issue when using the RTX maps without RTX

did gmod get an update that breaks remix?

I followed the video exactly and now I dont even get RT

re did it again

this time the screen is all black when I launch the game

I can blindly use the main menu to get into a game, but nothing displays at all

I think gmod got an update recently, followed the video as best I could, nothing, I think the latest version isnt compatbile with remix

[quiet scroll]

Does your dxvk happen to have a # right before d3d9.shaderModel = 0

And did you use the new YouTube tutorial this time around?

[jade surge]

this is my DXVK

and I used this tutorial

went digging through some other files, never found a # anywhere

had one more go at it just going over each step throughly and I got it to work, no clue what I didnt to last time, however I'm back to square one, even on this fresh copy of gmod that I just remixed, after some time of being in game it just locks up

[quiet scroll]

Did you unzip it and put it in the main directory? Looks like that's the right tutorial

Here's mine

[jade surge]

yeah, I got it all in

[jade surge]

I just redid the whole process and got it working this time

but I'm back to being stuck with a crash I was trying to avoid

what mod causes these errors?

[keen rivet]

did you try use the portal rtx dlls

[jade surge]

no cause I was doing it so much

[keen rivet]

?

[jade surge]

this is my 4th time installing remix to fix the issues, since the portal dlls were optional per the video I decided to skip them so I didnt have to dig through the folder each time

plus the version that started this whole mess continued to crash despite having them

just added the portal DLLs to the most recent install I did

still crashes

[livid rapids]

I think there's a need for an automated installer/updater

[quiet scroll]

Episode 2 uploading now

[glossy mauve]

hey guys, lil question, how do you replace skyboxes?

[jade trellis]

sv_skyname (skybox name here)

[glossy mauve]

on the editor that is

[quiet scroll]

So far in the toolkit I don't think there's any way to change the skybox. But, there's a ticket in to hopefully add that feature, I endorsed it lol. The ticket requests that we be able to edit the skybox without even needing mesh which would be huge https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/issues/525

[glossy mauve]

oh i see

[half viper]

ignore them
the game is rasterized so my best bet is that you wrote dxvk.conf wrong
its case sensitive

[jade surge]

I redid it again and got remix working just fine, but I still crashed the same way I did before

[half viper]

crash on main menu?

[jade surge]

no, either right is or a bit after I enter the game

I've disabled pretty much everything that isnt a map

[half viper]

this sounds like the rivatuner overlay issue again

any overlays?

[jade surge]

nope

unless its NVs own overlay this time

ironic cause I wanted to update since I heard more recent versions handled alt tabbing a lot better

[half viper]

@jade surge oop

wait

you got the latest runtime?

[jade surge]

yeah

[half viper]

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/actions/runs/9394429223

[jade surge]

both from the githup page by hand and from the downloader available, tried both, both crash

[half viper]

get this

the latest ones are broken

[jade surge]

do I need t get the bridge as well or just plop this in my .trex folder?

[half viper]

nah bridge is good

[jade surge]

ok

if this works I might go back to the original folder I set up for remix since thats the one hooked in the actual project with all my PBR textures

seems to have worked

I wish I knew why most props and items were invisible in the nester map, that would be such a cool one to mess around with in remix

also it feels likes my flashlight gets blocked more by my view model than it used to

at least on some maps

I love GI

[half viper]

no lights map

[half viper]

latest commit has better new bloom

but sadly its all broken rn

[jade surge]

I just need GI

[jade surge]

so if there is no lightmap remix just doesnt know what to do?

[half viper]

its more of source engine in dx7 shenanigans

its not rtx remix fault

[jade surge]

damn

RR off

RR on

I've found multiple scenes where this is an issue

RR be needing some tweaking

aw man, mall parking doesnt work

same with snowyisolation

[zinc oasis]

there's this one fully white square in UI textures, disable it

[jade surge]

I wonder how many maps that will fix

[jade surge]

reference mode under the denoiser breaks the game

well crashes really

which sucks cause I used it all the time'

oh wait no, it just locked up, I actually got it to un freez

odd

[quiet scroll]

Huh, does marking weapons as playermodel also make them disappear for npcs for y'all?

I thought that got fixed awhile ago

[jade surge]

mirrors go brrrrrrr

[loud mural]

Do you have pseudo weapon unique hashes enabled?

[quiet scroll]

Where’s that setting?

[loud mural]

It's a console command

rtx_pseudo something

It's been a little while since I've booted up gmod rtx so I don't remember exactly what the cvar is named

[quiet scroll]

You're a genius wolfe, thanks, that worked!

rtx_psuedoweapon_uniquehashes or something set to 1

[fallow dune]

Heya guys! I seem to only be able to play at 2560x1440 maximum, I'm trying to launch the game in my native resolution (5120x1440) and it just freezes after 3 seconds in the menu. 2560x1440 works fine though

Is there any known fix to this or no luck yet?

[keen rivet]

i dont have an ultra wide monitor to test

[quiet scroll]

I recall someone saying they weren’t able to run the game at 4K. I’ve never tested, I only have 2K

[fallow dune]

How did you make a mirror for a specific prop? I tried making one but it converted all materials

[loud mural]

woop, glad I could help c: (I went to bed right after my last message lol)

[jade surge]

When I captured the scene bia USD I used thr material tool and applied the cubemap material to a prop, then in the remix editor made that material a mirror, now I have a mirror material I can apply to anything

[jade surge]

if I get a mod and the models appear black then what do I need to do to fix the textures not showing?

[jade surge]

apparently I went over a limit

does the portal rtx asset wrk in gmod rtx?

[quiet scroll]

That's a good question, lemme see lol

No

[winter radish]

Portal if it was made today:

Ngl, the red lights look neat

[meager oar]

Maybe the hash id of the portal textures in gmod and portal rtx are different

[winter radish]

Anyone here try to play on RDNA 2?

[fallow dune]

I tried some time ago and I couldn't get it to launch with a 7800xt with modded R.ID drivers just realized RDNA 2 is 6000 series lol

now I switched to a 4090 and it works fine

but I've seen people run it on steam decks so it's probably compatible

[fallow dune]

i'm getting this same error whenever i open the playermodel menu lol

[winter radish]

I was one of those people, lol

I'm going try to optimize it for RDNA 2

[fallow dune]

is there any website where we can share our rtx.conf? It'd be super neat for specific stuff

I've seen a few mods in moddb but no rtx configs

[modern quest]

https://www.moddb.com/rtx

[quiet scroll]

On moddb there's a conf files section for each game 🙂

[modern quest]

we did a mass update a while ago to add rtx.conf files for almost all playable & partially playable games

it's on the right

[fallow dune]

I mean of custom conf files that the community can post as a project, to share out different configs which might have certain bug fixes or be stylized ^^

[modern quest]

those can be uploaded there as well

[fallow dune]

oh neato

[quiet scroll]

Here's one of mine for example, this rtx.conf specific to the counterstrike pbr mod I made, it helps sort out all the detail textures that would otherwise make half the world invisible

The regular gmod rtx.conf does a good job with hiding detail textures, but no one's really added support for counterstrike ones until now

[hoary shore]

hello!, someone know a fix to the invisible fire and the under water texture missing

[jade surge]

its so fun when you get a single door room back to back

[glossy mauve]

get used to it lmao

[meager oar]

where da heck do they put the textures at? are the portal replacements textures inside the .vpk files?

[quiet scroll]

How do you replace .vpk files? I tried using GCF scape to open them, but I can't move files into them lol

[glossy mauve]

has this happened to anyone else?

textures all messed up

remix Missingno

[night bramble]

Wack

[crude pivot]

Portal RTX replacements are all stored in RTXIO packages and there's no way to access them as far as I know.
I'd like to know myself if there's a way though

[modern quest]

you can roll back the version with steam depot downloader

or just do it with a command in steam

look it up, it's easy & legal. they weren't always packed with RTXIO

#general-remix message

there's also this. it might be possible using a script in the dxvk-remix repo

[crude pivot]

oh, that's interesting, thanks for the help

[meager oar]

aw man what if hl2 rtx stores its replacements like that

[modern quest]

you guys keep forgetting

At the same time, we'll be remastering all of the game's assets, to be made available to the community for free.

[meager oar]

dang thats nice

[hushed trail]

What is the benefit of rtxio again?

[modern quest]

faster loading times for assets

[glossy mauve]

need it

takes forever to load a map on gmod

[modern quest]

with this you may be able to set it up

#general-remix message

this, sorry

[glossy mauve]

i'm dum

i'll wait for a patch or smth

[modern quest]

whoever is making the map sets can do it

i made a .ico for garry's mod rtx in case you're using the batch method

[jade edge]

Thanks, you gave me idea to do a sh*t

[viscid ocean]

what hand skin is that

The addon

[viscid ocean]

What do you mean by the batch method

[glossy mauve]

using a .bat file to start the game

[viscid ocean]

like in xenthios tutorial?

Can't check rn because I'm not on my computer

So sorry if I'm bothering you

[viscid ocean]

Hey I also remember watching the I think 12 minute video on your just playing with gmod dupes in rtx unironically for some reason

i was hypnotised by the glass

or smth

[glossy mauve]

haha~

that's awesome

i don't know why youtube recomended that boring video to so many ppl X3

[viscid ocean]

OK now I'm no longer Arthur ford

I'm the original now

Let's goooo

[last oxide]

is there any fix for "The bridge server process has unexpectedly exited, closing the bridge client and host application."

[quiet scroll]

Sounds like a general crash bug. Does it happen on a certain map/point? I can see if I can recreate it and make a bug report

[last oxide]

ill see

[last oxide]

its on every map

[quiet scroll]

Oo that's not good, did you follow this tutorial when installing gmod rtx? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeMrlemVSl8

[last oxide]

yeah this is the tutorial i used

[quiet scroll]

Hmm, try putting these in your gmod main directory

Are you trying to play in 4k?

[last oxide]

i dont think so

[last oxide]

i tried this but instead this time it freezes after loading in

[quiet scroll]

What gpu do you have?

[last oxide]

i have an rtx 4070 super if thats what youre asking

[quiet scroll]

Yeah that's perfect. Hmm it should be working. Maybe retry installing

[last oxide]

alright ill try tomorrow

[half viper]

patches instead
Dxvk.conf and rtx.conf dont fix freezes or crashes

also

overlays like rivatuner causes crashes too

[viscid ocean]

how do i swap icons

[viscid ocean]

like how do i make the icons into what you sent

im confused

[quiet scroll]

Thanks for the cool icon

[quiet scroll]

Right click the .bat launcher and click change icon

[viscid ocean]

yeah i did that turns out i need to make a shortcut

thanks alot bro

👍

[last oxide]

i reinstalled, same thing

the console also opens up at the menu with a bunch of errors

but it was doing that before

[viscid ocean]

hey @glossy mauve

why when i use your moddb asset thingy

it makes water flicker

its really annoyingh

[glossy mauve]

oh

interesting

i don't remember messing with the water

that mod is really outdated

i don't even have the original files anymore

[glossy mauve]

i made it because i kept missclicking on the other bat files in my desktop 😅

[viscid ocean]

are we ever gonna get a updated gumballegal preset?

or you gonna keep your work private or smth

[glossy mauve]

prob not

well i can make a new one but rn i'm busy with remaking hl2

honestly i should remake all the props in the spawnmenu first then release that as a preset 🤔

[viscid ocean]

👍

that would actually replace the half life 2 rtx that i already have in my rtx remix gmod mods

if it has different models and not just remade textures

[glossy mauve]

i'm just remaking the textures for now

https://www.moddb.com/games/garrys-mod-10/downloads/gmod-rtx-icon#rtxremix

i don't know why it has a timer but..

there if anyone wants it

[glossy mauve]

thank you!

[viscid ocean]

[last oxide]

is there a fix for the bridge server error on garrys mod

i am desperate

[quiet scroll]

How did you download Remix? Here's an autodownloader to get the latest versions/nightly builds #1132988164814934167 message

[last oxide]

i downloaded bridge and dxvk from github

ill check out that autodownloader

[quiet scroll]

Are you able to launch portal rtx? If you can, we'll know it's not remix all together that's giving you issues

[last oxide]

you mean portal with rtx?

[quiet scroll]

Yeah

[last oxide]

i don't have it

[quiet scroll]

Ahh

[last oxide]

do you have any other ideas?

[glossy mauve]

does it give no logs at all?

[quiet scroll]

Can't think of anything else that'd be wrong with it. Double check that you followed the tutorial to a T. But yeah, maybe we can look at the logs

Have you tried remix with any other game?

[subtle bison]

did you make these particle textures emissive?

[glossy mauve]

yus

it's a terrible thing to do because it messes up all the alpha channels

but it pretty and glowy ✨

[hoary shore]

Hmmm someone have a fix yet pls?

what's bpr?

OH

woops

[meager oar]

I think u put BPR in place of PBR accidentally

[glossy mauve]

hah yeah

thank you

[lapis delta]

my goodness, how do you do this

with substance painter?

[glossy mauve]

the textures or the map?

[lapis delta]

i mean, the textures

[glossy mauve]

oh haha

by eye 😅

i'm just having fun

[lapis delta]

oh, sooo

what program do you use for that

[glossy mauve]

mainly blender and photoshop

[lapis delta]

oh...

i thought, maybe you did textures like cr, with substance painter or another substance program

[glossy mauve]

nope

just messing with the albedo and painting over it mostly

[lapis delta]

hell no

[glossy mauve]

haha~

it workss soo

[lapis delta]

is it hard to make textures this way?

[glossy mauve]

well i have never used something like substaince but

it really dosen't take me long to make them

tbh i am getting most of the work done for me from just recycling the albedo maps

[quiet scroll]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/beneath-the-surface-rtx Most fun I've had on a gmod map in awhile, so I made it rtx

[glossy mauve]

oooo new textures??

[quiet scroll]

Yeah new textures! I tried loading it with my CSS PBR pack and it didn't really cover most of the map - they did a good job

[viscid ocean]

also @glossy mauve i fixed your ancient assets that were published on moddb on like February and I have no idea why I did it

but waters fixed so yipee

[glossy mauve]

lmao cool

[viscid ocean]

water no no glitch

So that's good

[scenic jungle]

is there pbr textures for juniez weapon models

[glossy mauve]

crossbo

[winter radish]

DLSS looks so good

Makes me want FSR implemented even more

[glossy mauve]

its on performance lol

[meager oar]

Where da sun at?

[glossy mauve]

yeah idunno why my gm construct is like that, I'll rebake it with a stronger sun

unrecord vibes

[meager oar]

U can manually add sunlight in parameter tuning then light translation

[glossy mauve]

its fine

[glossy mauve]

sunny day

[meager oar]

Yep U can change the colour and sun position, that's how I'm able to get sun set or sunrise time in all maps, plus lowering the sky box brightness aswell

[glossy mauve]

oh no i just recompiled the map

didn't have to change anything in remix

[meager oar]

Oh I see

[glossy mauve]

i might export this one to the workshop

tough it uses custom materials

[winter radish]

900p on Steam Deck

[glossy mauve]

ay i could spare some time to make the night one, looks fun

[winter radish]

I wish I could do this stuff myself, but I still have yet to get a NVIDIA GPU for the toolkit

The most I can do is run and capture with the runtime

And probably AI upscaling

[graceful zinc]

i followed a tut and now my screen is all black when i launch but when i move my mouse it makes the noise like im im in the menu

[lapis delta]

oh god, what's happening with hand at the second photo

[meager oar]

buggy displacement map

[jaunty mica]

just reinstalled remix and.. am I tripping or do I have entirely different material hashes?

only emissive mods work

rtx.conf sets everything properly EXCEPT texture categorization

and I think my texture list is way too big, lots of decals and particles loaded for no reason, like a precache maybe? but I don't have anything more than niknaks and rtx fixes

[quiet scroll]

Are y'all 3dsky boxes gross? I feel like mine are always pale white looking...and mine always appear off in the distance

[meager oar]

volumetric lighting might be doing that, try disabling it

[subtle bison]

double check your texture quality settings

depending on what they are can completely change hashes

[winter radish]

Hey, how do I fix seeing double of my weapons?

[lament quartz]

Set the small weapon to player model texture iirc

[winter radish]

Thx 👍

[jaunty mica]

It wasn't that but I used the factory reset .bat, verified files and it's all working properly now, guess it was an issue with my config

[subtle bison]

rp_eastcoast4b with my custom reshade preset (all remix post-process is off)

dof also works when the depth buffer works

(needs needs r_drawvgui set to 0 while also having the game paused)

[subtle bison]

definitely prefer how bloom looks compared to stock remix

[scenic jungle]

Looks like a roblox game

[jade edge]

When its blurred, it looks like Real Life

[subtle bison]

lol what makes it look like roblox

[scenic jungle]

The lighting and shadows

And the hl2 vehicle

Most of them just use half life 2 assets

[subtle bison]

oh wow

[scenic jungle]

Not really most of them

[subtle bison]

i haven't touched roblox in a while but i guess im not surprised

[lapis delta]

how much bounces did you set?

[subtle bison]

not too sure, will have to check when I get the chance

[meager oar]

the skybox brightness seems low I think that's why the shadows look too dark and don't have a bit of bluish tint in them according to the sky color.

[subtle bison]

its at the stock skybox brightness, I think the fake map light is too bright

[meager oar]

I put sky brightness at 0.220

before I put them at 0.600

[subtle bison]

when I get the time ill adjust the settings and try a few other maps

[subtle bison]

made a few changes

exposure should be a lot more correct

[lament quartz]

does mw2019 break with rtx or nah

[meager oar]

Jumping turtles

they just jump

do nothing else

[meager oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdzhrtanJ1I

[jade edge]

That's actually a good question if the guns from MW2019 works, as i use them

[lament quartz]

It's unfortunately doesn't like beatrun (that was my issue not mw2019) 😔

[meager oar]

I tried to use it a while ago and the models are invisible but every other function works like firing, reloading and etc

[half viper]

:((((((((((

this makes me want stalker to work even more

[modern quest]

a lot of this is how i've envisioned the Fallout games

[half viper]

what pisses me off is that the old alpha builds of stalker actually work almost flawlessly

even static models hashes are stable

it was so perfect

UGH

[lone arch]

Even build 1254 did run nice only problem was the terrain and the playermodel

[winter radish]

Thanks to some engine tweaks, Gmod RTX now runs at a higher internal resloution on Steam Deck, looks great

[glossy mauve]

PS5 wish it had this power

[winter radish]

The things I'd do to a PS5 if it could run Remix

[glossy mauve]

what dx9 games you runnin on that 😭

[winter radish]

Portal RTX at 4k ofc

[glossy mauve]

hehe the hardware is pretty good ngl

[winter radish]

Fun fact: the Xbox series X has more RT cores than the PS5

But yet they perform the same due to different optimizations

[glossy mauve]

i don't know if it even makes a diff

but still

where is my minecraft rtx on xbox

[lament quartz]

anyone know what could possible be happening here

[winter radish]

I believe you can trick the game into activating it if you join someone with a RTX Pack on

[glossy mauve]

it happens in some maps, i'm still trying to find the culprit

[glossy mauve]

huh

[winter radish]

Actually I think mojang patched it out

It was a bug where you could activate minecraft rtx on Xbox

Since Xbox uses the same DXR api as windows

[meager oar]

idk in tf2 if you run dust bowl atfer opening another map it will do this exact thing but if you freshly open up tf2 and run dust bowl before running any other map it runs stable.

what map is this btw? idk maybe freshly open up Gmod and then run this map before running any other

[lament quartz]

its one of my RTCW ports

lemme try that

nope same effect

now its telling me to many faces with the same material in scene damn

[winter radish]

The Gmod realism we needed

[meager oar]

tis map is only playable for me with lossless framegen using dxgi otherwise its a 20 fps mess

man lossless fg is cool literally makes 20 fps so smooth

like no joke 20 fps is literally feeling like 60 fps, sucks i cant record dxgi api using shadowplay only wgc and gdi i can record but those have alot more artifacts and not as smooth

[winter radish]

Time to cook my Steam Deck

[meager oar]

Will upload results

[meager oar]

also do not go to the train area it bugs the whole game with 2 fps

[winter radish]

is there a Remix pack I have to download?

[meager oar]

remix pack?

[winter radish]

like pbr textures

[meager oar]

oh those in the pictures are not available anywhere, i used octatex to make them like a hour ago for a video

[winter radish]

ah

[winter radish]

Yeah, so using the high preset from my Steam Deck mod, I'm getting 10fps on this map

[meager oar]

dang, wat about low? also try disabling restir in lighting settings and remove the foliage by disabling the alpha textures in remix menu

[proven merlin]

Hey guys

[winter radish]

using low gets 15fps, and then without foliage, 18

[meager oar]

does lossless scaling wrk on steam deck? u can get a big fps boost with it

[winter radish]

it does not, due to Linux

[meager oar]

ah iff it wrked then it will be veryyyyy playable on steamdeck like im having 20 fps on this map but enable lossless gen and bam literally like 60 fps

[glossy mauve]

i wonder if valve will ever make some sort of upscaling/frame gen for the deck. it's like the most useful scenario to save power and get performance from a mobile

[proven merlin]

How to deal with this?

[meager oar]

wats this? idk maybe reinstall all the addons?

[proven merlin]

It lead my game to crash

also I am in 64bit

[winter radish]

RTX requires the 32 bit version

[glossy mauve]

#1116089843479498782 message

[proven merlin]

Ok

does the DEV version work?

What should I do when this happen

[glossy mauve]

did you see the tutorial?

[proven merlin]

I did

[glossy mauve]

huh

[proven merlin]

it's the blackness

of the map

where it's not showing the original textures

[glossy mauve]

did you set up your skyboxes

[proven merlin]

How to change skybox?

[glossy mauve]

isnt there a rtx conf file somewhere here for them to download?

[proven merlin]

my bad I had two rtx conf file

Wait

it still the same result

[proven merlin]

I already have the RTX conf file

[glossy mauve]

did you download one?

[proven merlin]

I did what the tutorial said

looked decent

But it changes colours when I move up and down

[winter radish]

just had this issue, that's the non rtx version of the map, correct?

[glossy mauve]

ohhh, yeah the skybox is right on top of the map, thats why it's all black

[proven merlin]

yeah

Wait does this issue happen with custom maps

[winter radish]

what issue?

[proven merlin]

It lags alot

[winter radish]

I run on a non NVIDIA GPU so I get lag all the time, so I can't tell if that's normal or not

[proven merlin]

I run Minecraft shaders and it's not as laggy as this

[winter radish]

depends on the shaders, Gmod RTX is full pathtracing

[proven merlin]

how to get rid of it?

[winter radish]

of what? the pathtracing?

[proven merlin]

Yeah

[winter radish]

you can't, RTX Remix only uses pathtracing

[winter radish]

try DLSS ultra performance

or if you want, I can provide a conf I use for AMD cards that has some engine improvements

[proven merlin]

Ok

[winter radish]

it's going to be on TAA-U automatically so you can change that

[proven merlin]

Ok

It's running smooth now

[winter radish]

ah, cool, you're using DLSS Ultra perfomance?

[proven merlin]

yeah

[proven merlin]

But I need to get it at least 80-100 fps

[winter radish]

what's it now?

[modern quest]

why do you need 80+ FPS?

gonna be honest, that's probably not gonna happen on a 3050 laptop GPU

[winter radish]

and honestly Gmod Source engine will never run that much even on a beefy card

unless frame gen

[proven merlin]

I wanna replicate the S2 engine

Plus GMOD realism

[proven merlin]

How to get frame gen

[winter radish]

it's on the 40 series, for anything else you'll have to use lossless scaling

[proven merlin]

Right

Also I want to replace my textures to PBR textures

How to do that

[half viper]

oh great.... another guy like that.....

[lament quartz]

me when the advanced lighting interception and recalculation device is computer intensive and I dont get 250 fps (shocking)

[half viper]

real

optimization bad!!!!!11111!!!!!!1

[winter radish]

just lower resolution scale to 1% ez

[lament quartz]

Render the game in 1 pixel

[winter radish]

get all the fps

100 fps on a 3050 Laptop with path tracing is wild 😭

[lapis delta]

what bugs?

invisible guns?

[lapis delta]

or what

[proven merlin]

Bugs like this

[meager oar]

is it the shotgun pack?

[proven merlin]

Rifle/Sniper

[lapis delta]

im glad to see that dx90 models now work

[meager oar]

dang imma try some wrkshop l4d2 maps that had invisible models

[lapis delta]

oh yea?

[lapis delta]

@subtle bison do u have that uzi textures?

[subtle bison]

i might, i can try to find it when I can

iirc its for only the base of the gun and its missing the gun's albedo texture, but it has all of the PBR stuff I added

[proven merlin]

Where do we put this?

[subtle bison]

you need to manually ingest it with the toolkit

[proven merlin]

No like do we put it in common\GarrysMod\rtx-remix\Mods

[winter radish]

Me when I hear toolkit:

[subtle bison]

no since its not a recognizable file format for the remix runtime

you need to create a capture of the game with the gun, manually create a mod in the toolkit, ingest those textures, then add the textures to the model

[proven merlin]

Ok

[subtle bison]

if you havent done it before, there is good documentation here:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4w6jm6S2lzvgJ97T1_VbLGBR_l6zzOUm

[meager oar]

is this for the Modern warfare UZI? the one in the screenshot?

[subtle bison]

yes

[meager oar]

the Aug is listed as a SMG cause it comes with the Modern warfare SMG pack and I didn't know there was a SMG version of Aug in real life aswell dang

[lament quartz]

another map with the too many texture limit thing, what is the limit exactly, is there a way to bypass

[keen rivet]

engine tweaks huh?

what did ya change?

[keen rivet]

mat_force_dynamic 1 should bypass

[lament quartz]

as a launch option or in the menu

[keen rivet]

launch option, menu, ingame, whereever its a console command

it lowers fps tho so only use it on maps you need it for

[winter radish]

Path Tracing:
-Resolver: Max Secondary Interactions: 1 -PSR: Max Reflection: 2 Max Transmission: 2
-Integrator: Unordered Resolve in Indirect Rays: Disable Min Path Bounces: 0 Max Path Bounces: 1 (or higher depending on your setup)
Opacity Micromap: Disable
Lighting: RIS Light Sample Count: 2
-ReSTIR GI: ReSTIR GI Spatial Bias Correction: None
Volumetrics:
Per-Portal Volumes: Disable Initial RIS Sample Count: 2
Denoising:
-Settings: Separate Primary Direct/Indirect Denoiser: Disable

(Really helps with Low end hardware)

[keen rivet]

ah not engine just remix settings.

[winter radish]

Remix engine

[subtle bison]

seems to work, in engine it's mat_forcedynamic 1

[loud mural]

Whenever Blue merges this you won't need that anymore:
https://github.com/BlueAmulet/SourceRTXTweaks/pull/12

I mean ofc you could use it now lol

[keen rivet]

oh sweet

[loud mural]

Yeah I had my friend look into it a while ago and he finally got around to finishing his PR

[subtle bison]

tried the PR, seems to be worse

crashes the game instead (on a map that has the issue)

[loud mural]

Oh joy

I'll let him know

if it helps the map i tested was gm_cosmodrome

i also put this info on the PR for visibility

tried on gm_fortaleza and brc_hideout, same problem, was having the Too many faces message on them and now they just crash with too many indices

[loud mural]

I let him know, hopefully it gets fixed soon, just use the old applypatch.py from before the merge

[keen rivet]

love the xp theme lol

[glossy mauve]

wonder if it's possible to make an ocean with remix

[proven merlin]

hey guys is there a way to make the video memory usage in RTX Remix lowerthan 80-90?

[half viper]

Low texture quality

[glossy mauve]

super performance mode on dlss also helps

[half viper]

Ultra*

[glossy mauve]

oh yeah

Ultra™️

[winter radish]

Could DLSS be set to a custom resloution scale like TAA-U and NIS?

[modern quest]

with DLSSTweaks, yes

[glossy mauve]

yeah with that i think

[winter radish]

Lower it to 1 pixel for best performance

If you have headroom, then 2 pixels for a more clear picture

[jade surge]

how the hell?

how did you manage 30fps? this thing barrely has the power to get me 20 in Q2RTX

[half viper]

The game is CPU limited??

[winter radish]

So about that, I made a mod for Quake 2 RTX Steam Deck that hits 30fps at 70-80% dynamic resloution scaling with FSR

So it wasn't really hard

[winter radish]

Yeah, in a lot of intensive games, the Steam Deck is CPU limited

[jade surge]

wait do you use dynamic resolution scaling with FSR or are you just using the built in FSR over TAA/TAAU?

[winter radish]

For Gmod RTX I'm just using TAA-U set to 33%, in Quake 2 RTX it was dynamic

I uploaded a beta version in the #1228440201139851295

[jade surge]

cause I know they have it built in, but its just a filter for DRS, just got confused for a moment cause you made FSR and DRS sound separate when talking about Q2RTX

[winter radish]

The FSR implementation in Quake 2 RTX is really good

[jade surge]

meh, its just FSR 1, but they have TAAU as well (which technically is FSR 2)

but when I used it I needed to be at like below 50% resolution scaling

[winter radish]

Oof, that's what it drops to when I use 1080p

Well around that range

[jade surge]

I just ask cause whether you use FSR, TAA or TAAU in Q2 RTX, they use whatever scale set in the resolution scaling tab fixed or dynamic

you made FSR and resolution scale sound separate, so I thought you modded in FSR and had it at like balanced or performance, but then set the resolution scale to 70% ontop of that and did double upscaling

my fault for failing to read it right though

[winter radish]

Ah, sorry, to be clear, it's dynamic, it just averages around 70%-80% at 800p

And then it's using the built in FSR

[jade surge]

also for Gmod and RTX Remix, was that on windows or SteamOS?

[winter radish]

SteamOS

I haven't gotten around to working on Windows support, but I plan on eventually doing it

[jade surge]

cool

yeah with no TDP limit at a static 50% res scale, Q2RTX sits at 20

[winter radish]

Are you on SteamOS or Windows?

[jade surge]

SteamOS

though when I had it installed windows wasnt much better for me

[winter radish]

Try this: https://gamebanana.com/mods/522333

Just be warned, SteamOS sometimes, breaks the mod

I still don't know why it happens and the only fix that worked sometimes was switching from Beta branch to Preview branch back to Beta branch

[jade surge]

I'll give it a try, hopefully it doesnt do what that cyberpunk mod does and reduces bounces

also probably gonna give that Portal RTX mod mentioned a try

would be neat

[winter radish]

👍

[winter radish]

I'd recommend the v1.5 Beta I released, it has many graphical improvements

[jade surge]

I just need to get it working, I'll probably hop in the dev menu and start toggling my own stuff once that happens

cause right now when I get to the main menu remix doesnt properly start so nothing gets traced

[winter radish]

On Steam Deck?

[jade surge]

yeah

I get to the main menu and its borked

[winter radish]

That's weird

I know someone else had an issue where it wasn't raytracing on a RX 6400, the solution to that was to delete the .trex folder and then verify files so it generates a new one

[winter radish]

Oh, wait, did you make sure to do -nogamepadui in the launch commands?

[jade surge]

I didnt know I needed that, I'll give it a try

[subtle bison]

now if the ice had SSS

🤤

[lament quartz]

if i were to use the light tool to make a light and capture said light, would I be able to use that to make light instances? because without any lights on the map, addin lights doesnt seem to package

[jade surge]

iirc you can just plop pointlights around

[keen rivet]

HUGE NEWS

FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET HASHES BETWEEN PORTAL RTX AND GMOD THE SAME

JUST LOAD THE SW.VTX

THE ONLY ONE I DIDN TRY UNTIL RANDOMLY NOW

i love random brain waves

i dont know how you would patch that in though

it would need to somehow go through and try loading sw.vtx and on failure load dx90.vtx

[quiet scroll]

[keen rivet]

anyone know any nerds who could do that lol and are willing?

i wish i was nerd enough to know how

[half viper]

whats that file?

[wanton scarab]

perhaps king david who's working on the dark messiah project would be interested

he's no stranger to reverse engineering source

[wanton scarab]

basically a <dx7 specific file

i guess the sw might stand for software here, as in software rendering

[meager oar]

cool now everything is visible on l4d2 maps now

[quiet scroll]

What's your volumetric lighting settings? I can't seem to get mine to stay lol. I'll adjust volumetric, but it always clears up on me
