Garry's Mod

[drifting hinge]

doesnt anyone know why

[subtle bison]

what is the value of this setting for you?

[drifting hinge]

let me look

[subtle bison]

my custom world rendering is pretty much perfect now in terms of optimization, no fps drops

it seems to break decals though

not sure if that's fixable

[drifting hinge]

it says none

[livid rapids]

Good

Fuck them decals

[subtle bison]

try in world transform

also is it possible to see what is casting the shadow?

[drifting hinge]

didnt do anything

[drifting hinge]

shadow is coming from behind the camera always

[livid rapids]

Check your addons

[drifting hinge]

so i cant look behind me

[livid rapids]

Disable all except niknaks and remix fixes

[drifting hinge]

there is only niknaks and remix fixes

the sky also flashes when shooting hl2 guns

[subtle bison]

@quiet scroll can you try your script on a fresh gmod install and see if you have the same issue as @drifting hinge

we no longer need mat_forcedynamic for maps with too many faces 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

we also dont have to disable any culling in the engine anymore either

god bless niknaks

[drifting hinge]

videos wont play what happens in this one

[subtle bison]

are you viewing it on mobile?

the video is hevc and some devices cant play it

[drifting hinge]

pc

audio plays but not video

[subtle bison]

yea ill post a h264 ver one sec

see if this one works

oml embed fail

[drifting hinge]

you love to see it

[drifting hinge]

it plays now

but whats the reason for the errors before you press the magic button

[subtle bison]

i think this happens because engine culling is disabled and is trying to render all map faces at once

[drifting hinge]

how fun

[subtle bison]

displacements are a little buggy lol

looks like minecraft far lands

[subtle bison]

well that's uhh one way to handle particles crashing the engine

just kill the particle system with lua lmao

this isnt gonna be my actual solution, but its a decent enough stopgap

[subtle bison]

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
im disabling a lot of core engine functions and then re-enabling them with some safe parameters, and now i can load maps that previously crashed the game

if i can go further, i might be able to keep particles and then gmod will require no dll patches lmfao

even cosmodrome loads

the day has come, flatgrass on 64-bit 🔥

[winter radish]

Finally, my RX 7600 can use FSR Performance

[subtle bison]

for the first time voidplaces doesnt run at 10fps for me lmfao

once i figure out all of the crashes and make some kind of particle rendering alternative, ill PR these changes to xenthios github page

64-bit is coming soon boys 🔥

[drifting hinge]

but why 64bit

[subtle bison]

because 32-bit is severely bottlenecked by the remix bridge and general performance issues

64-bit is much faster than the 32-bit version

[quasi blaze]

Also 32-bit is quite older too and in the future More games and projects are more likely to use 64 bit too

[subtle bison]

a lot of maps require it too

[drifting hinge]

real

[quiet scroll]

That's crazyy

hmmm, was it from a clean gmodrtx install? Is hl2.exe in the game directory?

or is it a weird playermodel? 😅

[quiet scroll]

CHAT WE'RE GETTING 64BIT GMOD FOR CHRISTMAS

[subtle bison]

idk about that lol, at least sometime

[stable scarab]

@subtle bison what gpu u have?

[subtle bison]

rtx 2080

[drifting hinge]

clean install

no hl2 and kleiner pm

[loud mural]

Do you have a plan for decals?

[subtle bison]

at some point yeah

they actually show on some materials and i have no idea why

they shouldnt work period

[loud mural]

Yeah that's strange

[subtle bison]

gm_lonelyclub on 64-bit

[loud mural]

Does it just work on displacements or is that a worldbrush?

[subtle bison]

not sure, it does show with r_drawworld 0 without custom meshes

[loud mural]

Very likely that that's a displacement then

[quiet scroll]

Hmm, anyone else have the billboard issue? Imma try another clean install

[loud mural]

Me and my friend don't have it and we just did clean installs a couple days ago

[subtle bison]

added caching for the chunked meshes, let's see if i can add stuff in the toolkit

uhhh, everything is rotated?

it works omg

it just works ™️

[stable scarab]

and wich resolution u use to play?

i wonder why in HL2 i have this kind of "artifacts" when the map have some "water effects/reflections on"

and this only happen in some parts/areas of the map, its not always present while playing

[quiet scroll]

Much better

Saved all the projects I packaged lol

[stable scarab]

that's insane bro, almost a 1TB

[subtle bison]

if it's patched hl2, it's most likely from shaderapidx9

i see the same stuff when patching out the divide by zero errors

[stable scarab]

so its normal and no fixes for now?

[subtle bison]

yea

[keen rivet]

you should try make the models load the dx70.vtx files if they're available no idea how you would do that though. its the thing stopping some props from having stable hashes aswell as props not having the same hashes as portal with rtx

if you're up for it of course.

[subtle bison]

ill keep that in mind 👍

[stable scarab]

so now actually from nowhere i have culling issues in gmod... i didn't touch anything inside my rtx.conf

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet how did you make this patch btw?
https://github.com/BlueAmulet/SourceRTXTweaks/pull/10
I need to port it to 64-bit

[stable scarab]

culling is back boys

the only thing i hate more its this lol

[stable scarab]

btw after this i downloaded and installed v0.4 but then the fire emission is missing, only particles works, so i guess im downgrade to v.03

[quiet scroll]

Yeah I think the fire emission only worked because of the portal rtx files

[stable scarab]

i repeated the procedure to fix the fire emission by copy/paste and then replace "stdshader6.dll and stdshader7.dll" but in v0.4 this is not working anymore

[quiet scroll]

Ahhhh the portal files probably share a fix for the hl2.exe fire hashes, gmod.exe would be separate

[keen rivet]

it just replaces the text "dx80" with "dx90" lol

[subtle bison]

oml so it was just a stringe change? i should've checked before asking mb

[keen rivet]

lol nah you're good dont worry

it should work still

[subtle bison]

yeah

lemme update the patcher on my end and see

yup

[keen rivet]

lol

i know its the work of some crazy reverse engineering skills

(ctrl+f)

[subtle bison]

absolute genius

a mastermind if you will

[keen rivet]

ideally i want it to load the dx80 ones first if it can then fallback to dx90

i have no idea how to do that

but it would mean hash compatibility with portal with rtx for those models

[subtle bison]

i've been thinking about porting a lot of my stuff to a binary module since im hitting the lua limits in some of my changes, i should be able to add a system like that if i go in that direction

would also make remix plug and play for everybody

[keen rivet]

yeah i wanted to do binary module too

i have uhh someone who i can steal a base from i asked previously if i could (gwater 2 guy)

[subtle bison]

my biggest motivation with a binary module is remix api integration, ideally i'd replace all engine lights with remix ones

i already have a light capture system that does this but replaces them with gmod lights instead (unrelated to your system)

[keen rivet]

yeah thats waht i wanted to do

my lua light system is funky lol

hackiest hack of all time

[subtle bison]

yeah im about to find out if my solution works any worse lmao

i just want to avoid source lights entirely

the light culling on 64-bit is awful

[keen rivet]

if you want i can setup the repo for a binary module and give you permissions for it

[subtle bison]

up to you, i might make my own

[keen rivet]

or you can make the repo and give me perms either way i think i wanna collab on the project, 2 competing solutions sounds like a mess

[subtle bison]

in that case let's go with yours, im not sure how much free time i got this week and i dont wanna hold you out

[subtle bison]

yipeee

[stable scarab]

how do u fix the culling? are u on x64?

[subtle bison]

yes, im using a custom world rendering method that bypasses engine culling

its not out just yet

[stable scarab]

i used to play without culling issues but now for some reason the culling its back and its soo annoying, idk why or what is causing it

[subtle bison]

you need to repatch your engine binaries

[stable scarab]

by blueamulet?

[subtle bison]

yea

[stable scarab]

hmm let me see

[subtle bison]

if you're doing it manually, follow xenthios video pinned in this channel

https://youtu.be/JeMrlemVSl8

[stable scarab]

il try, thanks

[lament quartz]

Iant there also skurts new thing

[subtle bison]

yea i think he already used it but his binares got replaced at one point

probably by steam validation

@quiet scroll maybe add an option to your script to move the patched gmod to a different directory so steam doesnt update the game?

[subtle bison]

accepted

[keen rivet]

very simple repository, no idea when i'll start trying stuff hopefully soon, maybe after christmas but feel absolutely free to start it yourself because i feel like you would probably know what to do better for some reason lol

[stable scarab]

cant apply patch ?

[quiet scroll]

If gmodrtx is installed into the main gmod directory, wouldn't it always get overridden when there's updates? I've always copied the gmod folder and renamed it gmodrtx to prevent updates overriding the rtx updates

[subtle bison]

we shall see

[keen rivet]

i'll see if i can hook up remix api into the project

[quiet scroll]

The script currently looks for a gmod.exe, it could be one you copied, or the regular one

[keen rivet]

whereever the remix api is lol

is that the rest api? i thought there was a proper c++ one

[subtle bison]

oops i missed this, 1080p windowed with dlss perf

[keen rivet]

oh found it

[stable scarab]

nice

dont know exactly why can't patch

[modern quest]

it's finding the files to patch, but not the patch files?

[subtle bison]

this usually means your files have been already patched

its not finding any memory address patterns to patch

do you have 2 gmod installs by any chance?

also how are you opening the game?

[stable scarab]

not exactly, i have only 1 gmod copy and i use remix from there and run the game through gmod.rtx.exe

[subtle bison]

looks like it works? it wasnt in 64-bit, but in 32-bit they're stable and i have xenthios light updater disabled. I wonder if any of the binary patches have to do anything with engine lights

[subtle bison]

uhh maybe nuke that gmod install from orbit?

[keen rivet]

ok so....

first hurdle

we dont have the source files

[stable scarab]

used to work yesterday, today i wake up and the culling was a problem again lol

[keen rivet]

but maybe we can call it after and hope it works?

[stable scarab]

maybe its because i remix HL2 as well ?

[subtle bison]

maybe use xenthio's portal 2 mod as an example?

[keen rivet]

whos xenthio

[subtle bison]

oops

xoxor4d

[keen rivet]

lol

[subtle bison]

😭

[lapis delta]

XD

[stable scarab]

il try to re-install gmod an re apply those patches and see if it works but iirc this culling issue happened shortly after i remixed base HL2 game so maybe that's why im having this again

but not sure...

[subtle bison]

that shouldnt be happening? unless you're moving files between games

[stable scarab]

yeah i know that's why is weird... i didn't touched anything inside gmod main files

[quiet scroll]

Is hl2.exe in your gmod directory?

[keen rivet]

ok, haven't tested it but it compiles

i setup a lua addon to load the binary module

and the binary module does that loadremixdllandinitialise step

[stable scarab]

nope why?

[half viper]

@subtle bison how does your culling method compare to modifying the engine

[subtle bison]

for performance, its on par with no engine culling. there are still some bugs on some naps so I'll need to address those

[onyx ridge]

oooh

[quiet scroll]

REMIX FIXES 2 CONFIRMED

[drifting hinge]

what who what now

[quiet scroll]

Seeing if maybe it didn't update correctly, hmm sorry I can't think of why yours is acting that way

[stable scarab]

i fixed it by re-installing the whole game in a different drive, dont know exactly why or what cause the culling issue

[lament quartz]

Most likely that the patches aren't installed

[upbeat jewel]

Lmao. What a colossal waste of time

Hopefully with that fixed this channel will be less of a ”problems people have today with particles, culling, and reading”

[stable scarab]

not exactly, i mean in 2 minutes i had installed everything, i don't have too many addons so its less painfull i guess...

oh fiddlesticks what now

[upbeat jewel]

You’ve been complaining about these problems for 2 weeks dude. Nearly every single day I might add.

At this point make a proper issue report and let people help you instead of wasting their time

It’s incredibly disingenuous

[stable scarab]

If I'm honest, I don't understand why the anger, after all this channel is precisely for that, to report any type of problems that may arise, in any case I will do what is appropriate to report any bugs/errors by making a report. I hope I haven't wasted anyone's time.

[upbeat jewel]

If you can’t see that you’ve wasted people’s time by providing no useful information and forgoing the easiest troubleshooting steps for up to two weeks, such as reinstalling the game on another drive, then I don’t know what to say, but that is wasting people’s time

You also won’t create documentable issues that people can follow and try to address your specific problems

Otherwise what is the point about complaining about particles and culling every day?

Make an issue with explicit details about your setup and platform and someone can help

Maybe document that to help others? #1116089843479498782 message

#1116089843479498782 message

#1116089843479498782 message

#1116089843479498782 message

#1116089843479498782 message

I can go on and on and on

[upbeat jewel]

Can you actually show me the reports you have made that contain information about your install and platform?

[subtle bison]

would probably tone it down a bit lol. not everyone is a master of documentation and troubleshooting. I don't personally mind helping him

[upbeat jewel]

We created gmod rtx as a repository to alleviate these kinds of problems, not for people to hop on the bandwagon and then talk about issues every day with very simple fixes

[subtle bison]

sure but there is still a lot of people who are playing the game with xenthios method as well

[upbeat jewel]

That’s fine. But durrant explicitly stated he installed gmod from skurtys gmod rtx. That’s how he got here #1116089843479498782 message

Is xenthio going to fix these problems

I don’t understand the statement

[subtle bison]

im talking generally, not just specifically durrant.
Though as for his issues, it just means more stuff to add to the script if not already. Stuff like fire particles do require rtx_remix_fixes to be manually installed. As for stuff randomly breaking such as culling issues, the script should move the game to a separate folder so steam doesn't touch it.

[upbeat jewel]

If that’s the case can we get some documentation for this somewhere? I’m not sure everyone understands how to fix this but you and a few key people

You see the problem?

[subtle bison]

it's pinned

for the fire at least

[upbeat jewel]

Yeah nobody reads that clearly

As evidenced by this whole convo 😌

[subtle bison]

then just include it in the script? why bother with the documentation when it can be all taken care of by automation

[upbeat jewel]

Because I don’t even know what said automation is. It would be better for skurty to add that. If he can’t then I will have to

I’m on vacation right now

[quiet scroll]

I'll write up a document/troubleshooting page for common issues, and if the user wants to try manually installing Because that's true, now that Xenthio's video is outdated because of the gmod/hl2.exe and they use my automated install, how the patches came to be would get lost. I'll make it nice &easy with screenshots of the problems (like decals, their playermodels showing, culling fixes (not having rtx-fixes/nikknaks) and a detailed breakdown of how to fix them

[subtle bison]

hopefully me and xenthio can fix most of this stuff transparently via the binary module so everything will become drag and drop

[upbeat jewel]

Thank you so much 🙏

I’m sorry for being harsh. But if like you say this is covered in the pins, I’m just trying to reduce the unneeded churn. And to be honest, and this goes for everyone here, if you’re having problems with your game, please just reinstall it

It would help a lot probably

[quiet scroll]

I can't help but be lost as to why someone's install would have issues, it's fail proof All the right addons, an up to date rtx.conf, the dxvk.conf, and up to date runtime, etc

[subtle bison]

but it doesnt move the gmod install to a separate folder right?

random steam validation can completely revert the binary patches

[upbeat jewel]

That’s fair. No we don’t change it, but they could copy it anywhere in theory

If we move it won’t workshop content fail to install?

[subtle bison]

no

[quiet scroll]

The script doesn't, but in the installation method I give them two options, 1.) install directly to gmod (incase they're tight on space) or 2.) Copy the gmod folder and just rename it gmodrtx. Copying the gmod folder and renaming it somehow keeps it up to date without overwritting the gmodrtx fixes

[subtle bison]

steam downloads workshop data to its own folder in steamapps

[upbeat jewel]

So you’re saying if I move gmod and don’t tell steam it’s just going to be able to still install the workshop content? I’m asking genuinely because I don’t know

Ah okay

I understand now

[subtle bison]

i only know this because i have an horribly out of date 32-bit install that lives on an entirely different drive and it still gets my latest addons

i think gmod uses some sort of steam api to query/install addons?

even the earliest gmod 13 builds from steam depot can still download addons lol

[upbeat jewel]

Yeah I’d imagine it can through SteamAPI. Especially for the main menu addons store

[quiet scroll]

Yeah! Which makes it genius for these kinds of things the workshop's all stored in steamapps\workshop\content\4000 for gmod, as long as it see's the same game id it takes addons everywhere

[upbeat jewel]

I’m personally not really clear on what the difference is between source mods and workshop content

and when do things go in source mods, and why does it even exist

Well for one I guess there’s certain things you just can’t distribute from the workshop

[subtle bison]

sourcemods are actual source mods

[quiet scroll]

sourcemods is veryyyy old, I believe it's only for things like the 2012 black mesa mod, gmod 9, and just about all of the moddb hl2 mods. Like for example, I have the old 2012 black mesa mod installed with the 2007 sourcesdk to play it with rtx

[subtle bison]

unless you're talking about the custom folder used by every source game

[subtle bison]

sourcemods are still used today

[upbeat jewel]

Like this? https://www.sourcemod.net

I’ve never used it tbh, TIL

[subtle bison]

that one is different

[upbeat jewel]

O

[subtle bison]

that's for custom plugins for source servers

like admin, moderation, etc

[upbeat jewel]

Ah okay.

[drifting hinge]

found the thing that was doing the massive shadow tied to the camera thing
here the hash if it matters at all because i was the only one with this problem i think: DB4DA856683A01BF

[subtle bison]

what was the actual object

kinda curious

[drifting hinge]

in remix menu it was completely black

so idk

this

uh huh okay now its back

[quiet scroll]

hmm I’ll see if I have that hash when I get home

You can try and set it as ignore texture if it’ll let you

[drifting hinge]

so thats what i did (removed it from ignore texture for the video)
i was able to select it from going on a map with a render target screen

i cant select the other smaller box though

and the big shadow only gets disabled on the map with the render target screen

[subtle bison]

wut the hell

[quiet scroll]

Maybe it’s an addon

[subtle bison]

i dont experience this on the latest gmod

at least with my 64-bit testing

[drifting hinge]

i will clean addons except remix fixes and niknaks and tell you if it works

there was also this

[subtle bison]

looks like all maps that dont have this error work in 64-bit now. I cant prevent this in lua without patching shaderapidx9 or making some kind of hook mechanism with the binary module

[subtle bison]

what the

maybe nuke your rtx.conf and redownload the one from skurtyyskirts's repo?

[drifting hinge]

mmm maybe

it still happens

[drifting hinge]

link

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/skurtyyskirts/GmodRTX

yeah looks fine on 64-bit for me

ignore the holes in the ground, its a bug with my custom world renderer

[drifting hinge]

another problem from downloading the new rtx.conf

sky is always black now

shadow still there

[subtle bison]

make sure your sky tuning settings look like this

[drifting hinge]

there is no difference

black sky semi goes away when ignoring texture with hash C587A0FFB8C341F2

[subtle bison]

wtf

[drifting hinge]

no more sand also

[subtle bison]

sand uses terrain blending so that one isnt much of a surprise

dont expect that to work properly ever

[drifting hinge]

whoops its back now

somehow

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/rogueone-jedha-deathstar-starwars-gif-22496066

your gmod install

🙂

[quiet scroll]

You could open an issue on github with all your logs and stuff

[drifting hinge]

let me orbital strike gmod install

and reinstall EVERYTHING

[quiet scroll]

When you clean install do you also delete the folder after uninstalling?

[drifting hinge]

delete what folder

[quiet scroll]

The game folder, to clear out anything leftover

[drifting hinge]

i delete everything in root folder

removing garrysmod didnt work before

yayyyyy deleting EVERYTHING in the root gmod folder and then reinstalling gmodrtx finally made the shadow go away

no sky being black either or when shooting

[subtle bison]

petition to make the gmod folder read only when the script is done lmfao

[drifting hinge]

what does read only mean

[subtle bison]

the user cannot write anything to the files

and programs if they arent running as an admin

[drifting hinge]

and how would that fix the problems

[subtle bison]

i was being sarcastic

its my fault i forgot the /s

i was making the joke because this is like the 3rd instance of a gmod rtx install randomly breaking

[drifting hinge]

man... what yuo say me man???? hey manj FACK YUO MAN ...

/j

[subtle bison]

my light debug text has taken over the map help

[drifting hinge]

rest in debug fr my homie

[keen rivet]

the video still works

i updated the scripts to use gmod

and i put a note above the download links to use the latest 0.6.0 build

[keen rivet]

real

[keen rivet]

hell yeah

[keen rivet]

@subtle bison how did ya get 64 bit working

it just crashes on map load for me

lol

okay im in

time to start seeing what i can fix

alright the binary module loads

[keen rivet]

ok so its now time i realise i have no idea what im doing! i cannot figure out how to use this remix api at all

docs say i need this

no idea where i get it from

[keen rivet]

ok its now communicating with the api

that is being set programmatically

[keen rivet]

No idea how to draw into the existing scene though...

[keen rivet]

Ok I give up for the day

[quiet scroll]

damn

[drifting hinge]

the christmas present

[meager oar]

20 years wth

[lapis delta]

btw, how soon will rtx fixes 2 come out?

[subtle bison]

no idea, i still have to get antiquated with the binary module and port my stuff over

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet where did you place the compiled dll in the garrysmod folder?
garrysmod/addons/lua/bin/ or bin/win64/?

nvm think i got it, it was garrysmod/lua/bin

made some changes to how the remix api light spawns but it seems like our old friend is back

[lament quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/1984-literally1984-do-not-divide-by-zero-division-by-zero-gif-26597978

[subtle bison]

not sure why we need materialsystem or shaderapidx9 though

ill see if i can make it work without using either

[winter radish]

My first time playing Gmod was like 2014 or 2015

It was on a crappy GT 640m iMac

Good times

[subtle bison]

[RTX Remix Fixes 2] - Attempting to create light...
[RTX Remix Fixes 2] - SphereLight struct created
[RTX Remix Fixes 2] - LightInfo struct created
[RTX Remix Fixes 2] - CreateLight failed with status: 7

back to where xenthio is, gotta create a d3d9 device

i can hijack onto gmod's d3d9 device but then i run into the divide by zero errors again

might be worth it to fix those with the binary module first before adding the remix api

progress

source pls stop with the divide by zero errors i beg of you

https://tenor.com/view/man-praying-black-man-praying-black-man-praying-and-crying-man-praying-and-crying-gif-23376408540985609

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet you sure your code isnt working?
i reverted all of my commits and tried what you have done so far and it looks like a light spawned?

the game crashed shortly after but that light does not exist on that map

[lament quartz]

Flashbang

[lament quartz]

I really wish beatrun mod worked

[subtle bison]

omfg my shaderapi crashes were from something completely else

i wasted 4 hours debugging nothing

😭

its fixed now but now i get to re-do anything i did in the binary module

hello remix api light

👋

[willow fog]

Wow. Why does the tonemapping look so horrendous?

[subtle bison]

we are getting somewhere

[subtle bison]

wdym my entire game is overblown by the brightass green light lmao

[willow fog]

idk I expected it to handle it better

So is this the "power" of aces?

[subtle bison]

its probably brighter than what the internal tonemapper can handle lol

[subtle bison]

absolutely fucking cooking

[half viper]

why does the skybox disappear

[subtle bison]

it breaks when custom mesh rendering is enabled, the blueness you see is some kind of bug with whatever buffer the sky uses

im planning on moving most of my custom rendering stuff to the binary module so hopefully i can find a way to render the skybox without the world

[winter radish]

[subtle bison]

they can now be edited with a properties menu

not sure why my game crashed at the end lol, probably another division by zero i havent caught yet

[lament quartz]

does anyone know a fix to this?

[lapis delta]

ent_remove_all func_reflective_glass

[subtle bison]

its a mirror entitiy

yea that ^

[lament quartz]

cool thanks

[lapis delta]

btw, is it possible to replace these mirrors with those that support remix?

[subtle bison]

yea

[lapis delta]

without changing the map

[subtle bison]

could make a unique hash for a mirror texture, add some code to detect an existing mirror entity, get its dimensions, replace it with a mesh with that mirror texture hash

it would all happen on map load so it would be seamless for the player

[lament quartz]

awesome

i forgot my protogen made everything glow pink

[subtle bison]

god these api lights really make the game unstable

its most definitely how i implemented them, the networking between the game > module > then remix is horrible. i hope i come up with a better way lol

[lapis delta]

is it even gmod?

[subtle bison]

add some proper PBR and people will mistake it for a blender render

[lapis delta]

yea

ok but destructable house never gets old

[winter radish]

My GPU cried watching this

[lament quartz]

my xbox game recorder died recording this

[keen rivet]

lua bin

[subtle bison]

a little too late

tl;dr we have working remix api lights

[keen rivet]

yeah

i was only playing around with it

i wanted to see if i could add lights but it really seems its most useful for drawing things yourself

[keen rivet]

oh LOL

[subtle bison]

^

[keen rivet]

good shit

[subtle bison]

i also accidentally commited straight to the repo

it was meant to go to a fork

[keen rivet]

the crash at the end is funny lol

[subtle bison]

yeah shaderapidx9 strikes back

[keen rivet]

we can probably ask the nvidia guys questions too

[keen rivet]

nah thats fine

just do that i dont care

[subtle bison]

im redoing the whole d3d9 device integration rn btw, the amount of d3d9 device calls we make to remix makes the game stupid unstable

[keen rivet]

thats rather annoying

i had to do a piece of shit to get IDirect3DDevice9

[subtle bison]

i mean it did work lol

enough to at least get a working api integration

[keen rivet]

yeah you got a LOT futher than me

[subtle bison]

i had some downtime at work and a lot of caffeine

im drained tbh lmao

[keen rivet]

lol yeah but damn you did good

excited to see how much further this goes

[subtle bison]

end goal is to completely replace source lights

also maybe time of day if i feel like it?

[keen rivet]

oo

[subtle bison]

i wanted to go deeper with ishaderapi and materialsystem but unfortunately we still dont have much control over it with the binary modules, so im probably gonna add a similar capture and replace system

[keen rivet]

what else do you need i might be able to see if i can fetch more

[subtle bison]

nothing atm, i've gotten pretty far with lua alone so far

[keen rivet]

also yeah i get the div by zero error a lot too

[subtle bison]

i tried adding some kind of safe handler for vertex buffers which would resolve the divide by zero crashes but that's when i ran into the limits of what the source sdk provides

[keen rivet]

also i made a symlink batch file to make editing easier, you can compile and not even need to restart the game, you just have to type disconnect then compile then load the map

or i just type reload, compile before it tries to load because its quick

[subtle bison]

yeah i've been doing that for lua but i didnt realize the module loading was dynamic lol

[keen rivet]

yeah

super useful

[subtle bison]

too bad my game crashes 99% of the time because of shaderapi so i havent really had a chance to test it

[keen rivet]

bind a key to reload

64 bit used to be more stable

i dunno what happened

i have an old install that doesnt crash at all

[subtle bison]

i've gotten it to be more stable by removing/disabling a lot of systems on map load with lua

but its definitely not enough

i think its this one?

put it into rtx_remix_fixes/lua/autorun

[keen rivet]

you should add that to the repo if you can

[subtle bison]

yeah i can PR it in a bit

probably the mesh rendering system too

[keen rivet]

thats odd fire and muzzleflashes dont crash for me

[subtle bison]

some dont, some do

i went on the aggressive side lol

even killing sounds

[keen rivet]

almost all the crashes seem to happen on mapload for me, once im ingame its good

[subtle bison]

that file lets a lot of more maps load

[keen rivet]

heres the patched binaries of an ol;d 64bit version that never used to crash

theres a patch i noticed that didnt apply now so i wonder if thats part of it

[subtle bison]

ill use that for rtx api testing for sure
once i get the d3d9 device shenanigains fixed ill focus on the vertex buffer/divide by zero crashes

my game is entirely unpatched atm

[keen rivet]

i had to patch to get it to load into maps

[subtle bison]

try unpatched with that lua file, it should work as good. I even got flatgrass to load

its not the final solution for sure but its a good enough stop-gap for anyone atm who wants to mess with 64-bit

[keen rivet]

wait the binaries im using doesnt crash at all now

i used a mixup of the old and new

[subtle bison]

so shooting an RPG or throwing a grenade doesnt instacrash the game?

[keen rivet]

im doing things that crashed before and they work now

[subtle bison]

those cause integer divide by zero errors instantly

[keen rivet]

nope

[subtle bison]

💀

[subtle bison]

try the hl2 one

oh wait that is

oops

try a non hl1 map

[keen rivet]

what map

[subtle bison]

uhh flatgrass?

idk it happens on any for me but im just curious lol

[subtle bison]

what the hell

[keen rivet]

heres the binaries im using

so yeah i think blueamulets patches need updating perhaps

though, chromium doesnt work there for some reason

you will need to use the console

[subtle bison]

weird that the game doesnt crash, we never got the division by zero patches for 64-bit

[keen rivet]

yeah no idea lol

[subtle bison]

im all for using a mix of custom binaries but i would love to handle this all in the module, i hate patching the game personally lol

[keen rivet]

yeah we can patch in module maybe lol

[subtle bison]

that or catch what is crashing the game

[keen rivet]

do you know whats stopping this fix from being ported to 64bit

[subtle bison]

i gave a try at this last week lol

its a little beyond my scope

[keen rivet]

same

[subtle bison]

i was able to patch 3 out of 4

[keen rivet]

😅

this patch doesnt work anymore so i wonder if it helps

how did ya get viewmodels working on 64 bit

oh wtf

LOL
its just disabled

[subtle bison]

they just work for me

[keen rivet]

nvm

that was easy

[subtle bison]

they should work unpatched as well?

they do for me at least

[keen rivet]

it was just disabled in remix settings

no idea why

[subtle bison]

ah lol

[keen rivet]

new default maybe

all maps just work for me now

[subtle bison]

💀

[keen rivet]

wonder if we can disable that culling from the binary module

[subtle bison]

i kinda wanna keep the custom mesh renderer, it seems to be better than disabling culling

it fixes issues with maps with too many faces

also i have the ability to optimize it (more than it already is at least)

[keen rivet]

i want to disable culling anyways because yknow props and addons might have their own things they want to do

like a compatibility mode

[subtle bison]

if it changes anything, i havent noticed anything breaking other than decals?

all it does is replace world geometry

[keen rivet]

how does it handle displacements

those are fucked up in source

[subtle bison]

not at all atm lol, i havent gotten around to it

[keen rivet]

oh lol

[subtle bison]

i need a map to test that with too and i have no idea where to look

[keen rivet]

gm_construct

lol

[subtle bison]

would the displacements be the hills?

[keen rivet]

yeah

[subtle bison]

i can check rq and see if they work

[keen rivet]

most of the grass is

[subtle bison]

god 32-bit is so slow to load lmao

surprisingly yes???
topography is fucked tho lol

i can probably fix this

[keen rivet]

oh nice

[subtle bison]

oh yea another benefit of the custom mesh render, all geometry hashes are stable

can spawn lights anywhere in the toolkit and they "just work"

[keen rivet]

yeah thats good

i could get stable hashes with a console command but it was super laggy

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXFixes/pull/9

[keen rivet]

just merge it lol you dont need to ask

[subtle bison]

i dont have control over this repo lol

[keen rivet]

mat_forcedynamic 1
mat_bufferprimitives 0

[subtle bison]

mat_forcedynamic 1

[subtle bison]

yep there is the culprit

[keen rivet]

yeah i know i know

[subtle bison]

[keen rivet]

but i wonder if we can activate that without dynamic on

[subtle bison]

the 2nd command? might be dependent on it

[keen rivet]

it looks similar to yours lol

minus odd displacemnts

[subtle bison]

i can make it look different, all i gotta do is increase the chunk size /s 🫄

[keen rivet]

oh wait this was the lua only repo

[subtle bison]

yea

[keen rivet]

can i put it in the new one

with the binary module

[subtle bison]

nah, im gonna reimplement it for the binary module

unless you really want to

[keen rivet]

ah ok

i kinda want to add it you can remove it when you reimplement

[subtle bison]

chunk size slider is needed atm as i dont have a way to autodetect the right amount per map
if you have the wrong value for a map, you get bad vertex explosions
the map in the video is excluded from this

[keen rivet]

lol

[subtle bison]

if source didnt have a stupid vert limit i could make this as high as i want

higher values means more performance

[drifting hinge]

jolly evening gayry mod rtx

[keen rivet]

uhh my performance is less with custom world rendering

[subtle bison]

how much less

[keen rivet]

250 off

[subtle bison]

how the hell are you getting 250fps

FG?

[keen rivet]

195 fps

[keen rivet]

uhh

[subtle bison]

btw to fix those rainbow squares, reload the map when you change the chunk size

[subtle bison]

is culling disabled in the engine?

[keen rivet]

its the 64bit version so no

OH
llol

yeah right

HAHAHA

culling = performance

[subtle bison]

yea lol

tho for me i get the same fps with custom mesh rendering vs no culling, my 2080 is a potato

btw the performance impact depends on where you are

the hit is much less in confined spaces

[keen rivet]

hmm the rtx lights function oddly

[subtle bison]

yea the d3d9 device broke

try it in a smaller map

you will need to relaunch your game

[keen rivet]

lol

[subtle bison]

ignore with the runtime

[keen rivet]

should just not draw them lol, think of the nanoseconds saved

[subtle bison]

also the light itself has too big of a radius so shadows will look broken until you reduce it to something like 2

[subtle bison]

yeah yeah eventually

[keen rivet]

breaks on a small map too

[subtle bison]

hu

it works for me on gm_orange

[keen rivet]

crashed

i was using a tiny hl1 map

[subtle bison]

wonder if there are other factors that break the d3d9 device other than map size

no idea yet, im still trying to figure this out lol

[keen rivet]

no clue

yeah me too

i hardly know c++ to be honest LOL

[subtle bison]

me too, that is why there are certain tools that help

😉

[keen rivet]

lol

[drifting hinge]

new prop icons are rendered completely transparent like this and nothing is in spawnicon editor
can this be fixed or will it NEVER be fixed EVER and it will STAY like this FOREVER...

soup enging

[subtle bison]

try pre-rendering them without remix first

[drifting hinge]

how do i disable remix

[subtle bison]

temporarily rename d3d9.dll in your garrysmod/bin folder to something else

re-open the game

[drifting hinge]

aight

it did something

[subtle bison]

oh right i guess the game doesnt render without remix lol

temporarily rename your dxvk.conf to something else too

[drifting hinge]

there was no difference

same black

[subtle bison]

remove the -dxlevel commandline argument in whatever you use to launch the game

wait

just open it normally via steam

[drifting hinge]

thats what i did

both times

[subtle bison]

do you have any launch arguments on steam

[drifting hinge]

-windowed -noborder -console

[subtle bison]

hmm werid, not sure what skurtyyskirts's installer does that breaks normal launching

[drifting hinge]

the gmod rtx launcher in question

[drifting hinge]

saw bro typing

[subtle bison]

good lord i figured out why my game is a crash fest with api lights, the custom world renderer is sending so many drawcalls that anything added on top of it makes it extremely unstable

guess it will be definitely be getting rewritten at one point

[subtle bison]

lights are much more stable (large maps still make the engine shit itself), you can spawn multiple, and you can undo them cleanly

[subtle bison]

wow

optimized the custom world renderer a bit more

running at dlss ultra perf

[lament quartz]

Can you adjust the intensity and brightness n stuff?

[subtle bison]

yea

[lament quartz]

Cool

[subtle bison]

[subtle bison]

starting progress on handling the division by zero errors with the binary module

got a few mmod weapons working without crashing the game, still got a lot left

[subtle bison]

did someone say no more crashes?

[quiet scroll]

https://tenor.com/view/kermitthefrog-dance-dancing-goingwild-crazy-gif-5023883256888097815

[winter radish]

Definitely not my PC

[subtle bison]

rn its just gracefully handling the divison by zero errors with a VEH, but it makes the game unstable in other ways, so im adding some code to locate the creation of these errors and will hopefully find a way to handle them better

we are close chat

🤪

also a personal 🇾 🇴 🇺 to the engine/occlusionproxy shader

its responsible for 99% of the divison by zero crashes

and im having hell of a time disabling it or at least fixing whatever the fuck its doing

[keen rivet]

JOLLY good show

i've been away for christmas

just got back today

[lapis delta]

so no more "out of memory"?

[subtle bison]

wdym?

[lapis delta]

i mean, i have a lot of crashes when i have 10 or more addons

cuz of that error

[subtle bison]

i havent noticed any issues like that, even without the shader fixes

are you talking about 32-bit?

[lapis delta]

yea

about usual rtx

not 64bit

[subtle bison]

i think you're talking about that remix runtime bug that would cause random crashes?

[subtle bison]

because i have about 100 addons on 32-bit and 64-hit and I haven't had one of those in a long while

[lapis delta]

what the fuck?

bro

[subtle bison]

most of my addons are maps lol

if the issue still exists then it's probably specific addons rather than how many

maybe turn your subscribed addons into a collection so i can see if i get those errors?

[lapis delta]

yea, np

[lapis delta]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3392255610

there are also some of addons

[subtle bison]

well i guess ill have to test this later, cant remote into my pc at all

[subtle bison]

well uhh

arc9 weapons work now lmfao

shader fixes system is shitting itself but its still holding together lmfao

i left the drive that holds 32-bit gmod unplugged at home so i cant test it atm

but yeah 64-bit is solid

we can also load really large maps now but remix and the engine really dont like it

[lapis delta]

disable hud and other things like blur and post processing in arc9 settings

[subtle bison]

yeah it helps a bit but maybe we can fix some of these issues?

there might be a way to work around these shader issues entirely if it's possible with the binary module.
Why not have the game run in dxlevel 95 but have the module force render the world and models in dx8 mode?

[winter radish]

@subtle bison can you see if this works on 64-bit? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=307175678

[subtle bison]

it would allow sprite and shader systems to work correctly without the current messy workaround

[subtle bison]

testing now

[lapis delta]

yea, there is a lot of issues like
all stickers are square and white

so yea

[lapis delta]

https://tenor.com/view/uncanny-cat-robert-helpmann-gif-11858302410808955060

what about infmap?

[winter radish]

On 32-bit it just crashes, so I'm hoping 64-bit has better luck

Might also just be the bigger on the inside effect

[lament quartz]

I hope beatrun works cuz it's 64 bit only

[subtle bison]

isnt beatrun a paid addon tho?

[lament quartz]

Not anymore, there is a workshop version

Mm never mind the workshop one was dmca'ed.... I'm gonna assume it was a rule 6

beatrun

[lament quartz]

@subtle bison this is on the 32 bit, idk if it would fix itself on 65 bit

64*

Or ig "fix" itself

[subtle bison]

tardis seems to work?

going inside works too

its really buggy though

looks like a open ver of beatrun exists

https://github.com/JonnyBro/beatrun

[lament quartz]

ok so upon further looking into it, the mod creator went hog wild

[subtle bison]

yea i remember the whole situation lol

[lament quartz]

thats what im using

i think it may be the hands somehow

because the animations and whatnot work

[subtle bison]

definitely some kinda of renderhook shenanigans

probably fixable? but it would require editing the addon

[lament quartz]

dang

[subtle bison]

lemme see if i can edit the addon

[lament quartz]

alrighty

[modest whale]

mirror's edge on garry's mod ??

[subtle bison]

yea

[modest whale]

so mirror's edge rtx possible 👀

hmmm

[subtle bison]

💀

[modest whale]

interesting

[subtle bison]

would be better if someone just made a compat mod for ME

[modest whale]

it's almost working, launch on SM2, crash when it loads the level tho

i'm sad cuz it's a 2008 game, so close

[subtle bison]

thirdperson works fine so its most likely with the viewmodel calculation code, there is a lot of nodraws, im getting rid of them and hopefully that will fix it

[winter radish]

At least it doesn't crash 👀

[subtle bison]

👁️

aaand it broke

hotreloading lua fixes it but then you cant move

when you respawn it goes back to breaking smh

[lament quartz]

Dang

[subtle bison]

i removed all rendering hooks and it fixed the issues but now you dont get any body anims lol. this addon is cursed, ill come back to it a later time

[lament quartz]

Alright, thank you for trying thus far

[subtle bison]

oh yea i need to try infmap

[lapis delta]

YEEEEAH

how's the progress?

[subtle bison]

working on shader material handling atm, havent gotten to it

[lapis delta]

will there be some beta testing or something like that?

[subtle bison]

at some point maybe? progress has been so inconsistent its hard to tell when ill be hitting a safe point

while the game doesnt crash anymore thanks to the VEH, its not the actual solution as there is many graphical bugs when the division by zero hits, and also some maps completely break with it

so once i can figure out the custom mesh rendering system and division by zero fixes, i can release a beta dll

@keen rivet how does this sound to you? since we're co-creators i dont want to force a decision

[drifting hinge]

what is rtx remix fixes '2'

[subtle bison]

binary module version of rtx remix fixes, can do a lot more

end goal is to make installation easy as drag and drop

[steel lark]

my first second mod

(my first actually was just making glass actually transparent)

[subtle bison]

nice

is it just emissives?

[steel lark]

yeah (also made cars reflectivy?)

ooohh didn't see that reflection of the dashboard but that's really realistic wow

[subtle bison]

now make the mirrors reflective

[steel lark]

uu good idea

[subtle bison]

ok i think im good with leaving the VEH to handle the shader bullshit, i've been banging my head at other solutions for 7 hours and it's easier to fix the cleanup code for the VEH and move on lmao.
you can now exit maps or load other maps and the game wont spontaneously explode

[drifting hinge]

👀 nice

[lament quartz]

What does veh mean

[subtle bison]

Vectored Exception Handler, lets the engine not crash when being hit by the division by zero error

its basically the same thing as the binary patches but this does it at runtime

[near tartan]

might be the glass mod doing that

[quiet scroll]

gunna try and tackle the gmod guide today

[lament quartz]

Good luck nerd ! ! ! !

[quiet scroll]

LMAOOOOO

[lament quartz]

I mean it in the nicest way possible

[subtle bison]

anyone want me to try something on 64-bit?

[drifting hinge]

try what

[subtle bison]

something that doesnt work with 32-bit

[lament quartz]

The entire too scale death star model

[subtle bison]

is that a infmap?

[drifting hinge]

the entire too scale death star model

[lament quartz]

I think so

[drifting hinge]

i cant find it anywhere

[subtle bison]

infmap kinda works?

game is rasterized for some reason though

something definitely broke

[drifting hinge]

what does rasterized mean i see it everywhere

[subtle bison]

rasterized means remix cant hook into the game anymore and its showing the original graphics

[drifting hinge]

ugly...

[steel lark]

@subtle bison do you know why if you disable raytracing in rtx remix all textures are bugged?

[subtle bison]

most likely becase we're forcing a lower shader model with dxvk.conf + the lower dxlevel in-engine

[keen rivet]

i have no issues with it

[lament quartz]

Or a blobby mishmash of graphics that look like fullbright

[keen rivet]

you might have something marked as ui texture that shouldnt be

[subtle bison]

ar2 destroying the very fabric of reality

[subtle bison]

i just uhh figured it out, i dont have any ui textures marked, but disabling vgui entirely fixes it a bit?

it stops rendering if i stop moving

[keen rivet]

oh interesting

[subtle bison]

im gonna go back to the infmap rq

[keen rivet]

its probably something thats being drawn orthographically, by default remix treats that as ui

[subtle bison]

sorta works?

lots of untextured drawcalls

@keen rivet if you wanna mess with it yourself, this is the branch im currently developing on
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-binary/tree/VEHenhancements

[keen rivet]

what's veh

[subtle bison]

^

[keen rivet]

ahh

i see ok very nice

i'll totally give that a try later

[subtle bison]

ok well everything works now???

i dont really know what i did

oml yes its some kind of problematic material

[lament quartz]

Which one

[subtle bison]

idk i kept disabling stuff in other maps, came back to flatgrass and it magically worked

[keen rivet]

lmao

what material does flatgrass use

flatgrass works fine for me

[subtle bison]

yea on ur cursed build

ok i was wrong

about everything

i accidentally had rtx remix fixes 1 loading and it had my crash prevention addon which removed whatever problematic material it is

ffs

[subtle bison]

ok well i fixed it

i simplified the crash protection lua addon and now the engine/occlusionproxy error spam is gone (edit: nvm) and map rendering works

now do the multiverse map

why bro stuck in time like that hell nahhhh 💀

[subtle bison]

honestly, other than maps that crash the game on load, x64 is now more stable than 32-bit now lmfao

[drifting hinge]

isnt that the point

64 more stable

[subtle bison]

yea but gmod x64 has complications working with remix

it took a lot of work to get to this point lol

i wanna try disable detail textures in the binary module somehow

[subtle bison]

go for it

im still fighting the damn remix api lights

i have optimized the living shit out of them but its not enough for source's poor d3d9 device

im debating making a remix fork that does API updates outside of it

because jesus this sucks

i pinged xoxor4d asking him how he did his API lights for p2, so hopefully his feedback will put me in a good direction

[keen rivet]

https://github.com/xoxor4d/p2-rtx/blob/develop/src/components/modules/remix_lights.cpp ?

[subtle bison]

oh yeah i guess that also works lol

[keen rivet]

lol

i dont see anything wildly different the difference is he's using the bridge api so he doesnt have to do the d3d9 device fetching hack

[subtle bison]

sucks for us i guess lol

unless we dont actually need the d3d9 device

[keen rivet]

nah i tried making lights without it, it didnt work

[subtle bison]

hmm

ill try to think of some other ways to handle this

I at least want the remix api lights to replace source ones

(if its feasible at all)

i say this because currently remix lights in motion will guarantee a swift and fast game crash
and i have optimized them pretty well when they're static

[keen rivet]

maybe p2-rtx does do something different? idk, do you see anything different?

[subtle bison]

i havent looked too hard at it just yet

yeah no the bridge is the reason why his works well lmao

i could give making a second d3d9 device another try but that went to shit last time

[keen rivet]

interesting

no idea what changed but gm_flatgrass no longer works

[subtle bison]

are these with my changes?

[keen rivet]

yeah

[subtle bison]

cursed 64-bit or steam ver

[keen rivet]

cursed 64-bit

it seems ui is in the world now

[subtle bison]

try the steam ver

[keen rivet]

i think this might be realted to that issue you had before

when i open the console a console sized shadow appears lol

begins working after tagging some ui textures what the hell is going on here lol

[subtle bison]

wait

hold on
