[steel lark]

thx

[glossy mauve]

finally, 12 fps fire

[steel lark]

next thing to fix is eyeballs

[forest path]

What is the fix for the game crashing when it gets to the main menu?

[subtle bison]

iirc using the lua menu, lemme see if i can find the link

https://github.com/BlueAmulet/SourceRTXTweaks/tree/main/garrysmod#game-crashes-at-menu

[livid rapids]

that's not needed anymore

[peak rover]

y

[livid rapids]

the normal menu has been working for a while now

using the lua menu was basically a workaround

[subtle bison]

was there a method to make it work? It also crashes for me without the lua menu installed

[gaunt ingot]

i have problems with some maps

it hads no shaders in there

more likely with start with gm_

or others too like airplanes maps

when i load them up every texture is so bright and theres no skybox only darkness

and by rtx shaders wont work on them

theres no any shadows and reflections and etc.

like this

huge thanks who will some one will try to fix it if they even can

[half viper]

Do you have the dxvk.conf file?

If yes

Is it exactly d3d9.shaderModel = 0?

Its case sensitive

[forest path]

Yeah I had to reinstall lua menu but now my game crashes just before loading in to a map

[subtle bison]

try copying over the 4 std files from portal/prelude rtx

[gaunt ingot]

yes i did everything it said

i type d3d9.shadermodel = 0

[lament quartz]

it shouldbe d3d9.shaderModel = 0

capital m

[gaunt ingot]

i did that

i just lazy to type captial M in discord lol

[quiet scroll]

send a screenshot of your game directory, I thiiiiink I know what might be wrong

I'm guessing the dxvk.conf file is secretly a .txt file

[half viper]

Me when i do .conf.txt

[gaunt ingot]

no it's not

it's really .conf

File "CONF"

https://tenor.com/view/itsover-wojack-gif-4367840179675491690

[half viper]

Open the file@gaunt ingot

[gaunt ingot]

it's perfectly fine but it's still wont work

[quiet scroll]

Is the dxvk.conf file in the main garrysmodrtx directory and not in the bin folder?

[gaunt ingot]

poorly i cut it but here

why it wont work?

[lament quartz]

@gaunt ingot what game mode

[gaunt ingot]

sandbox

[lone arch]

is that main branch or 64bit?

[gaunt ingot]

nuh uh

its not

some maps are works like cs_office but gm_construct_Rtx or idk

wont even work with rtx remix now

https://tenor.com/view/cute-gif-26489734

[peak rover]

cs office woprks

[gaunt ingot]

yeah some others too but maps with gm_ starting in or other maps wont work

[half viper]

All maps should work

I wonder did you download the rtx.conf?

[gaunt ingot]

yes i did

from that tutorial video

firstly when i launched the gm_construct map it was good no errors

but now it has some issues

[half viper]

Did you mess with the texture selection?

[gaunt ingot]

if i even reinstall the rtx.conf

it WONT work

[lament quartz]

Did you make sure you are in the 32 bit branch of gmod

[gaunt ingot]

wait should i switch to the bit branch?

[lament quartz]

Make sure it's 32 bit

[gaunt ingot]

alr. lemme do it

[peak rover]

guys my gmod crashes when i go in any map

(rtx ofc)

is there a fix?

[lament quartz]

Did you make sure the map wasn't an hdr map

[peak rover]

no litterly any map

i tried

gm countrct rtx,flat grass

etc

[lament quartz]

Did you install the patches provided

[peak rover]

it worked perfectly fine before

idk what happend

[lament quartz]

Do you have addons?

[peak rover]

might be because of addons

[lament quartz]

Disable all addo s besides rtx remix fixes

[peak rover]

it worked fine before wityh alll the addons i was using but i quit and got a few new ones

i think

thats the promblem

cuz thats

when the crash

happend

[lament quartz]

Deductive reasoning wins again (possibly)

[lament quartz]

There are alot of add-ons with stuff that sends remix bad data, causing the crashes

[peak rover]

yra

i fixed it

it was a weapon

[lament quartz]

Well there ya go right as rain

[peak rover]

thx

[subtle bison]

i hope ray reconstruction gets further improvements

[night bramble]

We still need more of the updated tech in remix on top

[viscid ocean]

nononononoononononono please no i beg

my pc would FUCKING DESTROY 😭🙏

[lapis delta]

true...

[willow fog]

Dare I say we need.....

Caustics

[meager oar]

😍

[lapis delta]

YEEEEA

[night bramble]

The stuff I’m talking about mainly wouldn’t hurt performance but other stuff would.

[viscid ocean]

but bro my pcc

[night bramble]

Just get an H100 smh

[viscid ocean]

shut up

im poor

😔

[lapis delta]

i can give you my 4070, i don't need it yet

@viscid ocean oke?

[night bramble]

lol

[viscid ocean]

cpu would blow up

😭

[lapis delta]

what cpu?

[peak rover]

ill take it bro

[lapis delta]

ok, when i can send?

[peak rover]

any time

[lapis delta]

ok, what state?

or country?

[peak rover]

canada

[meager oar]

VR

picking up lamps

[glossy mauve]

vr?

[meager oar]

yus

[glossy mauve]

virtual reality?

[meager oar]

yus yus

[glossy mauve]

huh

ohh multiplayer?

[meager oar]

yep its my friend there in vr

[glossy mauve]

nice nice

[meager oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmwiDbFZJB8

[quiet scroll]

Wonder if there's a way to capture our movements in VR and then save those and play them back later

[livid rapids]

You could use this https://brekel.com/openvr-recorder/

Export it, rig it to ValveBiped, and use something like the wOS anim base to play it

It's a pain in the ass but I haven't found anything else

[willow fog]

You can use a blender addon to record some animation based on the headset movement and then export it

[steel lark]

does your vr friend also have rtx remix?

[meager oar]

nu

[steel lark]

how would it look in vr?

broken prbly buuttt... maybe

someone could fix it

the performance would be horrible

[peak rover]

yea

so no point reall

really

[steel lark]

low fps vr 😭

[peak rover]

heck the profrmance isnt even good on normal gmod

sometimes

[steel lark]

lmao

[peak rover]

question

how do you fix water

on gmod rtx

[glossy mauve]

i use water fixes from Xenthio

[peak rover]

odd

thwy no wok

[glossy mauve]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3038853470&searchtext=rtx+fixes

look in desc

[peak rover]

weird

sitll doesnt work

[glossy mauve]

huh

[peak rover]

i redownloed the water

addon

[glossy mauve]

what map are you using?

[peak rover]

the pixel gun pool map

with the rtx pbr

[glossy mauve]

depends on the map

it has to use the gm_construct water

otherwise you'll have to make your own

[peak rover]

im gonna try

[subtle bison]

did you download the required water replacements in the addon description?

[night bramble]

dam that lighting is fast af

[night bramble]

If this wasn't path tracing you could have it run really good ie UE5 NvRTX.

[lament quartz]

popo has pfp???

[quiet scroll]

Oh nice, didn't know there was already so much headway in vr movement recording lol

One of these days I'll learn blender

[meager oar]

yus

[lament quartz]

Scary

[lament quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/ballin-gif-23670701

[meager oar]

mixing colors

[night bramble]

stereoscopy?

[viscid ocean]

In xenthio we trust

[glossy mauve]

hehe i remember doing this in portal rtx with janky maps

[peak rover]

In Jesus we trust amen.

[viscid ocean]

amen brother

[peak rover]

🙏✝️

[quiet scroll]

To install the 64bit version we just copy+paste everything in the .trex folder into the main directory?

[quiet scroll]

Oh no wait nvm I found it

[quiet scroll]

I can't tell if it's still rendering, or if the scan just focused on the center of the city and it gets low poly as it goes outwards

Also sweet god in heaven, being on the 64bit version is so refreshing after being on the 32bit version for a year lmaoo

Everything just loads instantaniously

Anyone have a fix for not having mouse controls?

I tried the pinned mouse controls in General pinned, but no dice

[subtle bison]

mouse controls for what? ingame or runtime?

[quiet scroll]

Runtime, it's like the ingame mouse and the runtime mouse are conjoined

[subtle bison]

you could try binding r_drawvgui 0 and r_drawvgui 1 to 2 different keys, it lets you pause the game without showing the UI

its how i tag fast moving particles instead of using host_timescale 0.01

[gaunt ingot]

I am back

The 32 bit wont work

I still have problems with my gm_ maps

[glossy mauve]

64 works?????

it might be upgrade time

[subtle bison]

its stil buggy compared to 32-bit

the 64-bit patches dont cover everything

[quiet scroll]

you're an actual genius

Gunna work on a rtx.conf file for the 64bit version - the 32bit verison must have different hash names

nothing really transfered over

Does firing your gun sometimes crash the game?

[subtle bison]

yea that is one of the issues that hasnt been patched

iirc its due to drawing certain particles, so shooting an explosive barrel also crashes the game

i dont remember exactly which dll causes this but iirc blueamulet's github readme explains

[half viper]

Always did, but blueamulet never completed the patches for it

[glossy mauve]

i c

imma stay on the "stable" patch since i'm still makin stuff

[viscid ocean]

thanks

LMAOOOOO

[meager oar]

Da heck

[viscid ocean]

muahahaha

twins

[meager oar]

I'm soo confused, u had that profile before? Cause I didn't notice at all 😭

[viscid ocean]

no

i sa ved the image and put it there😭

[meager oar]

Muahahah now look

[viscid ocean]

LMAOOO

muahahaha i stole it

zombie survival 2008 with rtx

[viscid ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/im-come-you-im-come-you-roblox-gif-21531596

[viscid ocean]

oileed up

[lapis delta]

i want somebody to jingle on my bols

[quiet scroll]

Yeah for now I'll just stay on the 32bit verison, if the 64bit version gets patched it'll be a total game changer though

The performance boost it allows for some maps is really nice to have

[glossy mauve]

do more maps work on that branch? i keep getting oom errors on some maps on the 32 branch

[quiet scroll]

#1116089843479498782 message This one for sure got a huge performance boost

[glossy mauve]

oooooo

looks smooooth

omg i just realised what the map is X3

[quiet scroll]

This map as well, it's pretty massive and was just working on it on the 32bit version, but now I'm questioning if I should finish it because performance is just 100% better here

But yeah the culling issues and crashing from firing a weapon is a dealbreaker for now imo

[winter radish]

Backrooms RTX + VHS will go crazy

[peak rover]

yo wth

how did this map work

for me

when i load into this map

texutres are all around the place

and its just a mess

or is it because

your on the x32

branch

[peak rover]

how does the x64 bit improve proformance may i ask

[glossy mauve]

yoo this map won't even load properly for me

[glossy mauve]

i think the tldr is just more ram for the game

[viscid ocean]

during christmas I'm gonna buy myself a new CPU so I don't get that much of a bottleneck and could take it if the offer is still available 🤷‍♂️

depends what you think

[loud mural]

iirc the renderer for the game is still rendering in the background in order to give Remix what it needs to capture the scene so the main game rendering efficiency does matter for performance. x64 mutithreads more parts of the renderer and since the entire scene has to be rendered to stop light leaks, performance for the base renderer even matters more than it usually does.

[willow fog]

Yes

Not to mention that the more data remix is pulling from the base game, the slower it's going to run

[night bramble]

What socket though

[quiet scroll]

oh no the 32bit version is crashing on me now

what could I have possibly missed

errrr actually no wait I think I'm good

[hexed hare]

How Gmod looks in my memories

[hexed hare]

We came a long way... Mine was just all white, missing textures and stuff

[quiet scroll]

??????????????? underwater works now?

Mine crashes if I go out/in too many times - does anyone elses crash on the latest branch?

[meager oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q47RsL0rS8w

[meager oar]

is this x64?

[quiet scroll]

32bit

[meager oar]

imma see if it wrks on the poolmap for me

[quiet scroll]

Update your remix to the latest versions, I swear it wasn't working even last week

[meager oar]

okie imma do that aswelll

currently when I go underwater everything above disappears as usual

[meager oar]

did u update using rtx remix auto downloader? it looks like this for me with only few textures seen above

[quiet scroll]

Yeah the auto downloader, I even turned off my assets and it worked

[meager oar]

wch map is this? and u can try sharing your rtx conf here

[quiet scroll]

Fosho

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3259200205

[meager oar]

i think its specific to only this map

cause its not wrking here

idk why its like that

[quiet scroll]

It worked for a few seconds here

Is your gmod crashing at all recently?

[meager oar]

nope

😭 I hate discord loading times uff

[viscid ocean]

wdym

[night bramble]

What CPU do you have now

[viscid ocean]

Intel 9 9900k

7 years old

[night bramble]

Oof. You can’t upgrade without a new mobo

[viscid ocean]

oh yeah

True

damnnnn

[night bramble]

If your on a tighter budget your best upgrade path is gonna be a 5000X3D CPU. Otherwise save up and go current Gen like AM5 or you really wanna stick Intel after everything wait for their next socket.

[viscid ocean]

👍

Thanks for the help

[viscid ocean]

jbmod in rtx when???

[lapis delta]

tomorrow

[meager oar]

dang it might work

idk which source engine version it uses though

[viscid ocean]

Source SDK Base 2013

[meager oar]

dang that's what The brutal CS 1.6 source and Team Fortress 2008 uses I think and both work well with remix so jbmod will definitely work

[viscid ocean]

nice

yuo could actually try

i might as well

[peak rover]

HOW BRO WATER BARELY EVEN WORKS FOR ME IN CONTRUSCT

[worn veldt]

dark souls 3 🙂

[quiet scroll]

In the rtx remix fixes add on in the workshop, go to the description and download the water folder. Unzip it and place it in gmodrtx/rtx-remix/mods.

You’ll probably have to make a mods folder but that should work 🙂

Place just the unzipped water folder there in mods

[glossy mauve]

maybe something to do with area portals? time to experimenttt

[half viper]

Stop encoding in av1 i cant watch these videos on my phone ;(

[worn veldt]

imagine if

[glossy mauve]

guyssss

i figured it outt

the water

i decompiled the map

basically it needs to be a brush made of nodraws, and a top of any dx70 water

it works now :D

[worn veldt]

noice

crepy :)

[glossy mauve]

gm_construct water looks a bit funky

[worn veldt]

quake2 maps (ignore soul of cinder)

[glossy mauve]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ERl1WIwGeo

[worn veldt]

noice.

im (trying)applying it to gm_construct in flatgrass

i give up 😃 (my game keeps crashing when i start)

[glossy mauve]

ksk~ i can do it sometime

[winter radish]

Gmod RTX is still 32 bit, right?

[loud mural]

You can play Gmod in either 32 bit or 64 bit with RTX Remix but most of the fixes are implemented for the 32 bit version so most tend to use that

[winter radish]

ah, got it

[quiet scroll]

Somehow my gmod's crashing now that I've switched back to the 32 bit version

I did a clean install of gmod and gmodrtx and everything

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/issues/594

incase anyone else is strugglin

[lament quartz]

Did you reset the config at all

[quiet scroll]

Omg bailey you're a genius

FIXED it looks like

Do y'all have the "enable/disable" raytracing on the regular rtx remix branch while playing gmod?

[lament quartz]

Wait I am? (Glad it worked again)

[quiet scroll]

Arghhhhh I just realized gmod keeps defaulting me to High on texture quality ingame instead of Ultra high.....I wonder what the difference is and if that effected some mod qualities lol

It looks like it never saves my last selected option, it keeps going back to just high

[subtle bison]

may i present mat_picmip -10

[quiet scroll]

WHATTTT

Omg the jump from -1 to -2

https://www.moddb.com/mods/gm-pool-complex-v2-rtx/downloads/gm-pool-complex-v2 So I had no idea this map was a mini scary map and about shit myself play testing

I don’t know if I stumbled upon everything yet

[meager oar]

dang I forget about this command, used it in tf2, wonder if it works for other source games like css

[meager oar]

wow this doesn't even need AI upscaling, so clear and crisp, wonder why valve has hidden these details behind a command

[glossy mauve]

MacOS

it was crashing their notebooks back in the day due to ram issues

so they just locked it behind a high value and only now decided to change it lmao

[wanton scarab]

i think the big difference between high and very high textures is the addition of detail textures on very high

[peak rover]

pic plz

[quiet scroll]

Anyone want to playtest something on this map? It spoils a jumpscare but I thiiiiink there's a bug

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/hidamari-sketch-yuno-sunglasses-cool-gif-20655006

i'll do it

[quiet scroll]

Thank youuu! The crash happens near the end of the video, an npc spawns on the balcony as you come down the stairs sometimes. It doesn't always trigger, but being around that area usually spawns him in.

You might not crash at all

I've been having issues after switching from 64bit version back to 32bit, but ever since I started with a clean rtx.conf my crashing stopped until this mod lol

I guess it's not a crash though because there's no crash log, the application just freezes

[winter radish]

Alright, i'll test it in a bit

[hoary shore]

hey btw,there are or exist some fix to the underwater culling?

[winter radish]

I'm actually going have to test tomorrow if that's alright

[quiet scroll]

Yeah no worries! Take your time

[glossy mauve]

oh yeah this map in particular likes to crash my game a lot too

bit of a silly question because i'm using real outdated patches here, but is there a patch for loading L4D2 models?

afaik they don't come with dx80 models and garry refuses to load it

[willow fog]

Get some weapon mods, spawn a bunch of npcs, and you got the ready or not hospital level

[glossy mauve]

the shiny dust 2 floor makes a comeback

found a lil thing in a model texture on dust

[worn veldt]

noice.

[glossy mauve]

love the materials 🔥

[peak rover]

what was the fps

[quiet scroll]

Phew thank GOD it's not just me, I'm curious to test this particular mod on future remix versions. I tried spawning in the civilian model that spawns when he triggers, but it still crashed.

[glossy mauve]

terrible lol

[quiet scroll]

I'm glad you like it! They were upscaled with PBRFusion by Nightraven

[glossy mauve]

my pc isn't the strongeest

[peak rover]

😭

[glossy mauve]

oooo i gotta learn these new tools

[winter radish]

Finally, I'm re-downloading Gmod RTX right now

Maybe I've been avoiding it for so long because I got to reinstall my add-ons and remix mods

[winter radish]

yeah, so Gmod RTX doesn't seem to be working for me, it's just a black screen

[peak rover]

dvxk folder must be conf

[peak rover]

you dont

[winter radish]

I forgot to do the dxvk, that's why

[peak rover]

:/ took me hours to fix it lol

[quiet scroll]

I wonder if the steam decks performance would be better on the 64bit branch

[peak rover]

steam deck can barely handle ray tracing

hold on brotha

[quiet scroll]

You'd be surprised, King Vulpes somehow made portal rtx run really well on the steam deck

[royal vortex]

can you guys help me

this physgun addon is black

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=945145478&searchtext=hd+physgun

i have no idea why

and i have no idea how to fix it

[hushed trail]

May be a mask?

[royal vortex]

maybe

but i dunno if its the textures themselves

theres a normal, specular, metalness and refraction textures

i think this models broken on here

[glossy mauve]

have you selected a noise texture or smth and set it to decal?

[royal vortex]

nope

[royal vortex]

oh hey gumball

[winter radish]

Depends if CPU performance is better

[modern quest]

bypassing the bridge does reduce CPU load

[quiet scroll]

Ngl im really impressed steam deck does 64bit, is that normal for handhelds?

[modern quest]

well, it's basically just a mini PC with a screen, controller, and custom OS

and yeah it's normal for all x86 based handhelds. almost nothing even runs 32 bit anymore. W11 dropped 32 bit support entirely, as did the majority of popular Linux distributions

afaik all phones now are 64 bit too, ARM though

[willow fog]

I'd be impressed if it didn't

[lapis delta]

guys, how can i make infmap work?

[winter radish]

I mean, all modern devices are 64bit

[winter radish]

At least Win11 still supports 32bit applications unlike MacOS

[lone arch]

someone already tried it before

[lapis delta]

yea, i saw that in showcase

i launched standard map and all i see is black colour

[peak rover]

that would blow up your pc lol

[quiet scroll]

64 bit version

[glossy mauve]

added these fellas to the pack:
https://www.moddb.com/games/garrys-mod-10/downloads/default-pbr-by-gumball

[lament quartz]

Wow

[night bramble]

Damn

[winter radish]

First mod I'm going to install after my reset

[glossy mauve]

i'm actually planning on going to my mate's house to get real reference for old pcs

geez i've been watching too much doctor who

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/tardis-doctor-who-whovian-gif-10033462

I'm still sad the Tardis rewrite won't work in Gmod RTX

I think it's because of the bigger on the inside effect, it just breaks the game

[glossy mauve]

yeah we need to port the portals from portal

[livid rapids]

Most likely using $color2 [0 0 0] and $blendtintbybasealpha 1, check the material's vmt files for those parameters, if present delete them

[royal vortex]

nice! been waiting for the monitors!

[lapis delta]

guys, what is the problem? all i see is just black screen, but menu sounds are working.
if it helps, i installed the 64bit version

[steel lark]

infmap grand theft auto san map on 32 bit works on 0, 0, 0 ONLY anywhere else it doesn't render

sorry for the dlss ultra performance screenshots but you do what you gotta do to run rtx

[subtle bison]

can you elaborate more on 0, 0, 0 ONLY?

like pos?

[half viper]

I call every creature that lives here

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/commit/cff2f695d5b814f60047e7ba39d33d03d0a97dd2

I need someone to try this

[lapis delta]

i will try this

wait a minute

[half viper]

Hold on

@lapis delta

Try without first

Report the average fps

Then update

[lapis delta]

ofc, i will do this

[half viper]

Yay

Thank you

Mwah <3

[lapis delta]

you're welcome!

old

кадров/с - fps

if so, I'll download this build

@half viper ok?

[half viper]

Yes

[lapis delta]

maybe there is no significant change because i have 5600

[half viper]

Go to a cpu limited map

Hold on lemme link you something

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3292074817&searchtext=Hospital

This gets me to 6 fps on my 4090

I7 12700k

[lapis delta]

14-17, maybe more fps, on dlss quality, 1920x1080

[lapis delta]

exterior and interior have same amount of fps

[half viper]

Mmm

Interesting

[half viper]

Fg?

[lapis delta]

yea

fg

did u want without fg?

[winter radish]

I'm about to get -6 fps on my Steam Deck

https://tenor.com/view/kokoro-bandori-anime-fire-dumpster-gif-22029503

[peak rover]

bottle necked your 4090

[half viper]

Not really

[lament quartz]

"if its not ryzen its not good"

[peak rover]

yeah bc even i think the i9 13k still is like kinda bottle necked

[peak rover]

no

[half viper]

In my use cases, there was few instances where i was bottlenecked by my CPU

Other than that

100% usage

[peak rover]

i mean you have the budugt why not upgrade plus youll get extra fps

[half viper]

I basically got the 4090 for free

[peak rover]

lucky duck

[half viper]

And basically got paid for it as well

[willow fog]

Mf flexing on us

[steel lark]

yeah kind of if you know how infmap works the map is being "copied" over and over and the 0, 0, 0 of the infmap is especifically on the 0, 0, 0 of the infmap space itself

[humble mango]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2964867203&searchtext=sway+mwb

would this work with 3d skybox?

[lapis delta]

will check now

[lapis delta]

nah

[humble mango]

SAD

[half viper]

Why would you use that

[subtle bison]

since remix has its own depth buffer, this isnt needed (edit i am wrong see below)

though most people probably arent using reshade on top of remix

[half viper]

Remix doesn't use depth buffers at all

Its a ray traced renderer

[subtle bison]

ah so is it just passed through from the rasterized renderer? i was able to get the depth buffer working on reshade on rtx remix a few months ago

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1116089843479498782/1256080564935721120/2024-06-27_21-53-35.mp4?ex=66db17ef&is=66d9c66f&hm=ffdbc822ccbe7f39c577b5b0463f144bb3f1ad9c7d6011400c5cccf0e75f560f&

[half viper]

Idfk what you did there lol
Maybe its using the original game depth buffer?

[subtle bison]

yeah that's what i meant

i used the usual trick of disabling vgui in gmod to get a clean depth buffer

[half viper]

Ughh this makes me so pissed
I want better post processing for remixxx

[subtle bison]

i was working on a preset that did just that

havent really come back to it in a while though

the hard part is turning off the right post-processing pipelines in remix without washing out the image to the point where you lose important luminance and color data

you still need remix's tonemapper and auto exposure but they have to be fiddled with a lot to play nice with other reshade effects

iirc that video i sent already did most of that

here is the message link, i said a lot more at that time

what will happen, if i enable ssrtgi in remix

i think

i will test this now

how to install reshade 😭

[willow fog]

Very carefully

[subtle bison]

open the reshade installer, select the nvremixbridge.exe file inside your .trex, mark it as a vulkan app, then go through the rest of the process

the major issue with running reshade with rtx remix is that mouse/keyboard input does not work

so you need to use a gamepad to configure your preset

i heavily recommend importing an already existing preset as tinkering is a pain on a controller

[glossy mauve]

glowy

[winter radish]

Which addon is this?

[glossy mauve]

Tardis, my remixed textures

[winter radish]

I meant which one, there's the legacy and rewrite

[glossy mauve]

rewrite i guess

[winter radish]

noice

it does seem the addon got renamed to just tardis

[glossy mauve]

idk i just know it's called tardis at some point lmao

it feels weird booting into normal gmod and seeing the 3d skybox now

do you any guys remember how i said that i made like a Fan made RTX Remix of Gmod? Well I got a RTX Gpu

Can someone help me with Gmod water? Why is it like this despite the fact that I installed the water replacement mod?

[lone arch]

Did you enabled the replacement from the setting?

[unique ember]

What do you mean?

[lone arch]

Like

Press alt+x then go to developer setting after that go to replacement setting and click it

i dont remember clearly

[unique ember]

I don't see a replacement tab on the Remix Developer Menu

Nvm I solved the problem

sort of

Don't think water is supposed to be black

[lone arch]

You can modify in toolkit

[unique ember]

Alright thanks.

THANK YOU

the possibilities

[half viper]

I used to use it for replacing hl2 weapons with more realistic ones and play hl2 campaign in it

[lament quartz]

It seems to just ve very reflective water, gives off a neat effect ngl

[unique ember]

There was a random black texture right beneath the water surface that when removed made the water more clear... But still black for some reason.

[quiet scroll]

All these maps and all these upscales, I finally decided to make a grand master folder that'll hold all the upscaled textures and maps. I made a python script that'll check what's in captures, and compare it to grand master, and show me what hasn't been upscaled yet

This should speed up map remixing by 100x

[peak rover]

wat

[quiet scroll]

Whenever I upscale and add pbr to a map when I make mods, I upscale the entire capture. Half life and counterstrike repeat so many of the same textures, I might as well keep a big folder that houses all of these textures once I've upscaled them

So if I pick a map, rather than having to upscale 425 textures, it'd just be maybe 20 or 30 depending on how many custom textures the map has

[peak rover]

how long is that gonna take

[keen rivet]

https://github.com/aaf6aa/PBRnxt

looking at this might be an interesting thing to try

[modern quest]

it's pretty good

the demo they show is seemingly very... cherry picked though. it's pretty much the perfect sample for such a generator (i know because i landed on the same kind of sample for PBRify)

that's not to say it's a bad generator though. it has a lot of tuning options, something i wanted to do but didn't have the resources to

[peak rover]

how is it possible to use 32 bit in gmod

[night bramble]

I remember when Nvidia really cared about performance prior to swapping to PTX. Using a 2080 to develop all their tech demos and having them run upwards of 90 FPS with RTXDI in UE4 was sick.

Now it’s “RIP my 2080”

[subtle bison]

yes its been reduced to a potato

i dont mind the frame rate but the vram contrainsts are awful when working on stuff like this

i cant keep substance, photoshop, remix, and gmod open at the same time

[night bramble]

Too true. Even 16 gets me constrained

I’ve considered doubling up but I literally can’t fit two GPU’s on my board since my 4080 has the 90’s cooler.

[subtle bison]

im considering either moving out or saving for a 5090 🤣

[night bramble]

That would only help with NvLink programs though.

God I hope 50 series has serious VRAM

GDDR7 ain’t shit if it’s not like 36GB

[subtle bison]

yeah i would like the vram monopoly to be over

[night bramble]

Shareholders are watching lmao

Literally made Nvidia do an all out greed push

[subtle bison]

all fine by me lmao, wanna sell more cards? make a more compelling product for the price

[night bramble]

Nah short the last Gen stock and sell on gimmicks

Honestly lost all hope after seeing that shit and everything else getting pushed under the rug. It’s literally just RTX Remix holding anything together now.

[subtle bison]

i think my 2080 has gone through 3 PC builds at this point lmao? im sitting here with a 7950X3D, 64GB of ram, 2x 4TB nvme ssds, and i still cant be arsed to buy a new gpu

[night bramble]

Just gotta hope that NvRTX gets to main UE branches soon for that sexy RT Static and the real RTXDI powerhouse (when it’s not used in PTX workloads)

upgrading my 7700X to the 7600X3D looks tempting lmao

[subtle bison]

yes the vcache is worth it (in select titles )

[night bramble]

And my room gets saved from the heat pump that is non X3D

[subtle bison]

(its still better than intel)

😉

[night bramble]

I’m on eco mode and it still hits 80+

Old AIO moment

[lament quartz]

Please don't remind me Intel exists, frickin still burns my fingers from time to time

[subtle bison]

im using a NH-D15 and honestly i havent exceeded 89c yet

[night bramble]

I have an AIO built for Ryzen 2000

I’m really pushing it

[willow fog]

Pretty sure rr off would cause the texture work to be less visible

[subtle bison]

its the opposite, RR causes a lot of smearing on textures

[willow fog]

That's strange. I've noticed rr to have a lot more crisp detail. Especially with normal maps

[subtle bison]

maybe it varies on base resolution + the DLSS preset?

i would love to do something more than 900p but then my gpu would probably explode

[night bramble]

depends on the texture on if it gets higher res or destroyed

usually decals, overlays, and dynamic textures get oofed

IE the crosswalks in cyberpunk

[subtle bison]

pretty much all detail on my normals get destroyed with RR

[lament quartz]

Rr destroys the face decal in roblox

As well as the crust decals in rtcw

[night bramble]

I forgot someone got roblox running

[lament quartz]

I love messing around with the roblox stuff

[subtle bison]

shotgun just got the PBR treatment

so glad the guy who made these replacements did proper PBR for the alpha masks in the VTFs, makes the entire conversion process a lot easier than making it from scratch

doing the SMG is a royal pain, the alpha mask left on the vtf is not good enough for PBR so im doing it from scratch with some clever masks, im going insane

PBR from scratch is not a fun venture

[glossy mauve]

hehe tell me about it

[glossy mauve]

you can do a cool spherical lens effect if you use a ball for the normal map

[subtle bison]

yeah i was thinking abobut that

i did it on the other side of the scope

but i think i forgot the other side lol

[glossy mauve]

looks good tho!

pretty cool stuff

[subtle bison]

ty

if i finish doing all the weapons, ill release a pack on moddb

i was able to work on some of these thanks to some free time

ok i remember why i didnt make it spherical on the other side

UVs are fucked

[glossy mauve]

oh damn

[subtle bison]

i think i can fix it but ill have to do it later

[peak rover]

would you ever upgrade gpus

[subtle bison]

sure, when i can buy a gpu that's at least twice as fast as mine for the same price

and i mean in full rasterized performance, not just RT or AI

[peak rover]

wouldnet that be the 4090 tho

cuz its twice as fast as my rtx 3070

[subtle bison]

my 2080 cost $500 open-box in 2019

my big thing is vram

i at least want 16gb

a 4070 ti would be twice as fast

but only 12gb of vram and cost at least $769

there is the 4060 ti with 16gb, but its about 13% faster than my 2080

[peak rover]

rtx 4090 is that

oops

i didnt read that

how do i do it

[steel lark]

automagically

[peak rover]

bruh

fr tho

[quiet scroll]

You'll capture a scene in-game, and then create a project in the Remix Toolkit. You can use the AI upscaler in the toolkit, drag and drop the textures into the AI upscaler, and then queue everything. After they're upscaled, drag and drop the textures into the Ingestion tab. Then you replace the textures with the editor.

I have a lot of gmod maps that have PBR, as well as a bunch of "game capture" textures of all the textures in HL2, the episodes, and counterstrike https://www.moddb.com/members/skurtyyskirts/mods

Here's an example of how to install the mods

[gaunt ingot]

dude i meant rtx remix mod

srry for my mistake not telling what mod it is

reshade is only using what it seeing in game

but RTX remix using whats actually happening in game not in monitor or etc

[meager oar]

O_O man why is this error happening so much lately, Had it a week ago suddenly, Well u can try what I did and that's to unsub all the addons, And completely delete everything in your Gmod directory, Reinstall again and redo the remix steps, Like that's how I fixed mine.

feel like the recent remix builds might have messed sumthing up idk otherwise why tis error happening to so many peeps lately

[half viper]

i deleted all my addons and yea nothing so ima try to reinstall

[idle pilot]

im having the issue too

one night it was working next day i just turned on my pc and it stopped working

[steel lark]

i recomend updating rtx-remix and gmod when you get it working again don't update rtx-remix or gmod until you are sure that it will work when you update it

[idle pilot]

yall think we should wait it out

[steel lark]

basically you're screwed until you find an older version that works or a new version is released

[idle pilot]

i tried all older versions

none do the job

[steel lark]

yeah

this also happend to me a while back

extremely frustrating

[idle pilot]

whats the fix

[steel lark]

waiting ig

[idle pilot]

ight

[subtle bison]

maybe make sure the remix and bridge versions aren't mismatched? also delete your rtx.conf

gmod itself shouldnt be producing these crashes on startup

[idle pilot]

delete the rtx.conf?

[steel lark]

i had to unninstall my original gmod so that i could install a fresh 32 bit version then copy that and installed the latest version (at the time) of rtx-remix

[subtle bison]

yes

[idle pilot]

im doing half life rtx

so its diff i assume

[subtle bison]

its the same for any remix title

[idle pilot]

oh

[subtle bison]

remove the rtx.conf where your game exe is

[idle pilot]

so the bridge and the remix gotta be the the same update?

[subtle bison]

yes

[idle pilot]

ight

ill see if it works

[subtle bison]

its not a guaranteed fix but since you're having remix/bridge problems i would start there

[idle pilot]

alr

[half viper]

ok old issue gone now only black screen

[subtle bison]

is your dxvk.conf present?

[half viper]

yup

[subtle bison]

how are you launching the game?

[half viper]

through bat file

[subtle bison]

from the xenthio video?

[half viper]

i think so

yes

[subtle bison]

have you tried reinstalling everything accoridng to xenthio's video?

i would also ensure both your bridge and dxvk versions match

[half viper]

yeas

[idle pilot]

ik how to fix that issue

[idle pilot]

i had it before when i did it

[half viper]

so what i do

[idle pilot]

send me a pic of the gmod rtx files

ill tell u which file

i forgot the name

[half viper]

what folder

[idle pilot]

the main folder

with the exe

[idle pilot]

the dxvk.conf

click on it

and send me a screenshot of it

[idle pilot]

alr copy and paste what i send into it

then click file and save after u put it in

[half viper]

ok

[idle pilot]

d3d9.shaderModel = 0

[half viper]

thanks brah

[idle pilot]

tell me if it works

[half viper]

works but everything is deepfried

[lament quartz]

install rtx remix fixes addon

[idle pilot]

so that happened to me just go through the video again and make sure

[half viper]

fixed it

[idle pilot]

oh ok

[half viper]

you are a chad thanks

[idle pilot]

yw

theres cool lighting stuff u can add

[half viper]

hey how do i install the extra things on the rtx remix fixes workshop site

[idle pilot]

hm?>

like wym

[idle pilot]

oh

yeah those i kinda got confused on to

[meager oar]

these are just mods for general water fix, Fixes for the mirror in construct and lights in the mirror room

u download it and put the folders in rtx-remix/mods

[half viper]

yea ik but my pc says im running 300 fps when its around 20

[meager oar]

make a mods folder if u don't have it in there

[idle pilot]

u prob shouldnt be running rtx then

[half viper]

nah my 3080 can handle it

[subtle bison]

the realistic outcome is that anything that isnt a 40XX series card is not going to have a generally smooth experience unless you like dealing with resolution or quality trade-off's

i run the game at a 1600x900 window with DLSS perf on my RTX 2080 and at best I get 60fps in somewhere light like flatgrass?

on average its like 12-33fps in other maps

either that be from bridge bottlenecks or my GPU not being fast enough

or both

[idle pilot]

im running a 4070 super

[subtle bison]

runs fine for you?

[idle pilot]

yup

[subtle bison]

i assume you're using frame gen and stuff

[idle pilot]

no

[subtle bison]

no reason not to, free fps for you

[idle pilot]

1440p with quality dlss

i get around 60fps

so no issue

i have a bottle neck to pretty bad

[subtle bison]

you'll find maps that even with a 4070 or a nice cpu will still get like 20fps

there is a performance bottleneck with remix bridge doing 32-bit to 64-bit conversions

[idle pilot]

ye

[subtle bison]

if we had more complete 64-bit patches for gmod, we wouldnt need bridge and overall performance would be much higher

[idle pilot]

im doing half life rtx

or well was

until it broke

with the error issues

[subtle bison]

portal/prelude/hl2 rtx will run much faster than gmod on average

[idle pilot]

ye

im stuck playing roblox until theres a fix im bored out my mind

[meager oar]

it's fine for me in 2080 super atleast in CSS cause I have disabled and lowered alot of stuff in remix menu to get 60 fps but use Frame gen in Gmod though since I have everything on max

[subtle bison]

how are you using FG on a 20 series? lossless scaling?

[meager oar]

yep

[idle pilot]

i might be geting a 4080 super so we will see

i wanna test some cool maps out

[subtle bison]

that doesnt really count since it cant get frames from motion vectors

unlike 40 series FG

[idle pilot]

framegen is so good

[subtle bison]

LS is good but not that good

[idle pilot]

like in some cases u will see the smallest of detail diff

[meager oar]

well idk it works fine for me especially the dxgi api

[idle pilot]

but in general its unreal

in games like wukong framegen will give u like 50 fps jump

[subtle bison]

any reason why you're not using it for remix?

its supported

[idle pilot]

well cuz with dlss it can get a lil easier to see it

[modern quest]

well, it does use motion vectors. just not ones generated from the engine 😛
