[quiet scroll]

skurtyy studio presents, the first ++++ game, skull and bones

[drifting hinge]

[lament quartz]

P sure the one I sent was a re-upload of a gamebanana mod for gmod from 2013 (by the same author) altho I may be thinking of a different one

[drifting hinge]

[quiet scroll]

i bought 1 of the shops in the map

[lament quartz]

You'll make a profit selling it to the 4 other people in the map

!!!

Altho it is meant for pre historic gmod role play (hence why it's destructable)

[quiet scroll]

wtfffff lmaoooo omg wut the heckkk

37,614 people are subbed to the map that's crazyy

[lament quartz]

Is that destructable city, if so there is a good explanation

[quiet scroll]

I might upload a gameplay video of it and see if anyone finds it

[lament quartz]

It used to be used in ytbers gmod rp videos is the explanation, especially with the cop system if you kill the gas station guy (have you tried that yet)

[quiet scroll]

yeah I was really impressed, I forgotr all about npc closed caption talking. The combine getting out of the combine was really cool, i missed OG gmod stuff

[lament quartz]

[drifting hinge]

the combine getting out the combine

anyway Skurtyy a real hero of the gmod rtx community

Id say not just skurty but everyone here whom have contributed to this like cr, popo and skurty etc

Nah ykw I'm the hero here, I've contributed nothing to gmod rtx ! ! !

I'm not sure, but I've had this problem before, only on 4K 3840x2160

[drifting hinge]

King von anti gmod piracy screen

[subtle bison]

changing resolutions while ingame with remix hooked causes instability. how did you install remix? via skurtyyskirts's installer or manually?

[stable scarab]

via manually and use the gmod.rtx.exe to launch the game

[half viper]

the game wont load into any maps for some reason

[drifting hinge]

it loads nearly instantly then it stops responding

[drifting hinge]

you were able to play before?

[half viper]

yes on the manual install im using the drag and drop thing now

[drifting hinge]

its supposed to be in 32bit right

[drifting hinge]

oh so the ray tracing itself is the evil doer

[half viper]

idk i have a 3080 that should be enough

[drifting hinge]

get a new pc brah

[half viper]

nah 3080 is enough

[drifting hinge]

idk how to help please contact mr CR

[subtle bison]

guess im trying out the install script

because i dont have this on my experimental x64 stuff or old 32-bit build

[drifting hinge]

Mmm today I will install gmod rtx

[stable scarab]

nah, il been running path traced with remix games at 4k with my 3080 and had no issues

this is the only game that i have this issue in particular

[subtle bison]

flatgrass doesnt crash for me when using the script, but remix is not injecting at all lol

other maps seem to work fine

[steel lark]

for me it doesn't i can host or join private servers but i don't know about public ones but i'm not willing to test that

[drifting hinge]

okay CR now something malicious is brewing

[lament quartz]

[subtle bison]

nvm i forgot to re-subscribe to rtx fixes

yeah everything is working for me

idk why yall are crashing on flatgrass

do yall have niknaks and remix fixes installed on the workshop?

[drifting hinge]

[drifting hinge]

makes it look like a shiddy reshade preset

remix acting up again

[subtle bison]

wonder what's causing it to be rasterized

something weird is going on

[drifting hinge]

an entity?

[subtle bison]

not sure

[drifting hinge]

something that goes away when not inside the world

[subtle bison]

what map is that

[drifting hinge]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3340822185&searchtext=molchat

[subtle bison]

oh wow i just tried another map, it was rasterized and then it crashed

time to hook up the debugger

my guess is gonna be a unpatched shaderapidx9 tho

[drifting hinge]

idk what that means

[subtle bison]

tldr; a file responsible for rendering which needs to be patched to play nice with remix

if my guess i right, skurty needs to make a hoxfix with the patched file

[drifting hinge]

uh huh

[subtle bison]

ok well im wrong

this is definitely... new

[subtle bison]

@quiet scroll here is your cause of the crash issues, i assume the dlls you packaged were properly patched right?

guess ill try patching 32-bit manually and see if i get the issue

[drifting hinge]

also where fog

[steel lark]

tested this map before on a older version (which was the current version at the time) and it doesn't seem to want to be raytraced at all

[drifting hinge]

evil map

[subtle bison]

all maps should be hooked with remix regardless, something is definitely not right

[drifting hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/danny-devito-danny-devito-this-fucking-this-fucking-rots-gif-5376903909901530178

i think something went wrong here

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2396548843&searchtext=sea

[subtle bison]

ok something is very wrong

i manually did everything

same issues as the script

looks like we'll probably resort to downgrading dlls lol

that or we start moving to x64

[drifting hinge]

a diabolical proposition

[lament quartz]

@subtle bison how do you get the fire particles to work again in 32 bit?

[subtle bison]

^

might not work on the new gmod.exe stuff tho

[lament quartz]

you didnt reply to anything on my end

[drifting hinge]

[subtle bison]

oops

^

[lament quartz]

ahhh then yeah it doesnt seem to work for the gmod version

[drifting hinge]

what does bro mean rn

[subtle bison]

which is weird since all its doing is replacing vtfs and vmts for the original fire texture

facepunch must've really changed some renderer stuff to break the particle system even more with the gmod.exe versions

because my old hl2-based gmod works fine with the fix

[lament quartz]

isnt there something from the portal prelude files that also makes it work or no?

[subtle bison]

stdshader files?

i believe its the dx7 and dx6 one

[lament quartz]

lemem try rq

[drifting hinge]

the shader files do something that make some particle work agan

[subtle bison]

btw manually patching my game actually fixed map crashes but some maps are still rasterized

rtx remix fixes is supposed to remove problematic materials that cause it but i wonder if it broke?

ill keep poking around

[lament quartz]

ok so adding the prelude files fixes it,,,, but not the map fire?

[subtle bison]

wdym fixed it but not map fire

does fire show when you ignite something?

[lament quartz]

yeah

oop uh nvm

just had to reload the map ig

[subtle bison]

wait

[drifting hinge]

is blud fr rn

[subtle bison]

the one big thing that changed with skurtys script in the newest version is the use of a autoexec

lemem go back to using a bat file..

i swear if that fixes the rasterized issues...

[drifting hinge]

[lament quartz]

speaking of i should update skurts mod im still on 0.1

but huzzah

[subtle bison]

nvm its still fucked

did gmod get a update recently??

ok no it didnt

[lament quartz]

fuck off on this for scaring me

[subtle bison]

my gmod x64 build ver matches the latest 32-bit

wtf broke

im so confused

i tried the dlls and remix build from 0.4

still broken

[lament quartz]

1920 x 1200 when

[subtle bison]

i think i figured it out 💀

[drifting hinge]

bro think he einstein

[subtle bison]

deleting game_shader_generic_garrysmod.dll in GarrysMod/garrysmod/bin fixes rasterization issues

but then you need to install the lua menu otherwise you have no menu

but for some reason the skybox is entirely missing on gm_flatgrass still

that's really fucking weird

oh wait no its not

it uses that weird shader as a skybox

[drifting hinge]

the lua menu

??!"=41212491

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/skurtyyskirts/GmodRTX/issues/7#issuecomment-2568230629

also the autoexec is missing some important stuff

[lament quartz]

Good luck on that

[quiet scroll]

Oh sick, I’ll try it when I get back to my pc

[stable scarab]

so in order to fix my game not being able to use my native resolution 3840x2160 i need to re-install the whole game through this installer and select 3840x2160

[lament quartz]

Its just not an option

[quiet scroll]

You can right click the .bat file, edit in notepad, and select the width and height. I haven’t tried that high a resolution though so idk on that part

err type the height and width I should say

[stable scarab]

already tried but if i just edit the .bat to fit my res screen 3840x2160 the game loads in and then crash into the main menu

btw its the only remix-game that i having this kind of crashes when tried to run at 4k

[quiet scroll]

@subtle bison Think this is anything to worry about? Not sure what it means

Do you think the best option for now to fix the gmod construct and flatgrass would be to remove the generic shader and then patch the lua and launch that for the installer? I just can't grasp why the levels stopped working all of a sudden

[subtle bison]

nah the custom renderer shouldn't be messing it up, it's turned off by default now anyway

[subtle bison]

yeah i dont know why either

maybe we downgrade the game?

people would lose multiplayer but at least we'd not have to worry about updates breaking anything

[stable scarab]

srry for bother but there is a workaround to fix the water on ep2 in the chapter riding shotgun?

im using the aniversary engine to get some achievements

[quiet scroll]

Maybe as a last resort, imma try 1 more thing. I updated my autoexec and now I can load into construct no problem

Kinda hoping that actually fixed it because I’ve joined the head banging on keyboard club

[subtle bison]

it'd require more manual work, but use my existing water fix; decompile the map, find the water texture name in hammer, go to my water fix, duplicate any of the vmts and rename it to the water texture name you found in hammer

[quiet scroll]

But everything else should be good to go, might launch it early this morning if I don’t get too eepy

[subtle bison]

if you found something that fixed it that's awesome. I did a manual install a few times without the script and still ran into the same issues

[quiet scroll]

Maybe it has something to do with gm_construct_rtx being built on the hl2 hashes? Because it’s only those 2 maps that used to not work for me, maybe there’s a bug there with the runtime and it not seeing any gmod.exe hashes?

It’s beyond me, but the error log indicates no camera found lol

[subtle bison]

i say we go back to the hl2.exe era /s

[quiet scroll]

I would do anything for that We’ve literally had the rug pulled from under us

[subtle bison]

we can downgrade with steam depots. I might try to make a PR for your installer that gives the user the choice between the old stable version and the new one

does that sound good?

[quiet scroll]

Mmmm the only issue with that would be that we’d have conflicting mods and eventually have one group that’d be left behind mod support wise. Remix is going to have an end of life day for that line soon so in the runtime itll all come crumbling down again

I’d rather just pull the plug on it and start anew with what I can salvage

You could fork it tho and call it “hl2gmod” or something like that It’d be like the old garrysmod.org haha

Tomorrow (err, today) I'll get started on some documentation for the manual installation process. I also want to make a guide or just getting started page. I'm going to try and make cute lil animated gifs to go alongside the guide so they can see what setting a decal texture looks like or adjusting the sky brightness, etc.

Seeing a decal texture in the gif that makes the floor invisible and me setting it to decal would help a lot I think

[drifting hinge]

common Skurtyy W

[subtle bison]

im curious about bringing the binary module to 32-bit as we have way more bridge api features. we could automatically tag textures in remix based on the source engine material type

hopefully it's possible on x64 as sell though

[quiet scroll]

https://github.com/skurtyyskirts/GmodRTX/releases/tag/v0.5.1alpha

sand should also auto appear in gm_construct_rtx - i tagged the sand as decal

[fallow mesa]

I'm having trouble with this particle causing the game to crash

[drifting hinge]

the evil water

[fallow mesa]

why does it work?

[fallow mesa]

I use 0.5.1alpha

[keen rivet]

hello its been a few days since ive done anything

@subtle bison whats the current look on whether your renderer will be working or not? wondering if i should continue looking at my model fixes or if theres not need

[subtle bison]

custom ff renderer is a bust rn

my focus is on r_cullbox and frustrum culling now because they impact everything

[keen rivet]

do you wanna help with these model fixes? i'm kinda stumped myself.

[subtle bison]

what's the issue

[keen rivet]

right now the game crashes on second map load

that and the fixes arent even working

[subtle bison]

sounds like the module isnt shutting down correctly?

[keen rivet]

i thought that but the crash happens in studiorender.dll

i need to force studiomodel to render with hardware lighting and skinning but its really hard

most of the hl2 props are rendering with hw

but if i try portal or some of the gmod props they all still have unstable hashes

[subtle bison]

what dictates a prop to be rendered with hw skinning? sounds like a vmt thing

maybe force lightmappedgeneric on everything?

[keen rivet]

uhh its yeah a material flag2 (one that you cant set manually)

[subtle bison]

i did that for ep2 water and it fixed it

[keen rivet]

theres also a bunch of other requirements

like flexes being disabled and how the model is compiled (i think itll be fine to ignore that and force it though tbh, since all the vtx file types are the same really)

[keen rivet]

maybe

[subtle bison]

so does source actually support hw skinning?

[keen rivet]

apparently?

[subtle bison]

or does toggling it just force some other flags to make it behave better with remix?

iirc xoxor4d didnt get it working with p2

[keen rivet]

oh hmm

im not sure

set by shader apparently

[subtle bison]

hmm maybe its dependent on vertex shaders

[keen rivet]

its set to true in vertexlitgeneric dx9 dx8 and dx7

[subtle bison]

sweet

how did you get this signature?
static const char sign[] = "48 89 54 24 10 48 89 4C 24 08 55 56 57 41 54 41 55 41 56 41 57 48 83 EC 50 48 8B 41 08 45 32 F6 49 63 F0 4D 8B E1 4C 8B EA 4C 8B F9 0F B6 A8 58 02 00 00 48 8B B8 50 02 00 00 40 88 AC 24 A0 00 00 00 83 FE 1F 77 20 4C 8B 84 F0 60 02 00 00 4D 85 C0 74 13 0F B6";

u dont have reticle like me, yea?

uh uh

brain doing a serious fart rn

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet i've modified your code quite a bit, it now processes everything and replaces with lightmappedgeneric and strips other texture parameters, its almost like my water fix

not sure if it's working, havent tried debug view yet

CUZ FUCKING RETICLE IS FUCKING MODEL FOR SOME FUCKING REASON UHHH

i tried this already haha

yeah it doesnt really offer anything over 32-bit rn lol

frustrum culling is gonna be the death of me

because it includes props

i think this is the condition stopping it from working

which is dumb because i think it does it even if its not flexed

[subtle bison]

yea which would explain the gmod props

[keen rivet]

i can't figure out how to hook into that function because i'm really not at all experienced with ida lol

[subtle bison]

same, i only started using it like 3 months ago

[keen rivet]

i bet you know more than me already lol

[subtle bison]

you'd be suprised

i think i've gotten lucky for a lot of stuff ngl

[keen rivet]

more luck than ive had

[subtle bison]

you wanna swap tasks? /s
I do not want to keep working on disabling frustrum culling

[keen rivet]

what are you stuck on?

[subtle bison]

not hooking r_cullbox correctly, it's more signature stuff

i sorta got it yesterday but it made it cull everything

[keen rivet]

more signature stuff

[subtle bison]

^

i moved to vtables since its all in the SDK but it actually made stuff worse

at least for me lmao

[keen rivet]

are the vtables documented better

[subtle bison]

not really, i was just googling a lot

a lot of it is on cheat sites

not really surprised

[keen rivet]

yeah lol

ive noticed that too

[subtle bison]

there is a convenient dumper site but unfortunately our beloved gmod is not on there

https://asherkin.github.io/vtable/

idk it might still be useful

depends on how far gmod deviates from normal SDK 2013

oh wow it kinda works

[keen rivet]

what game did you choose lol

[subtle bison]

hl2:dm engine

[keen rivet]

i wouldve tried tf2 for some reason since thats sdk2013

[subtle bison]

seems the same, i just typed "cull"

[keen rivet]

apparently people are using the macOS version of the game for reverse engineering

lol

wonder why

[subtle bison]

debug symbols are probably still left in them

same for the linux versions of other source games i think

did facepunch fix that?

[keen rivet]

downloading now i hope they have debug symbols

[subtle bison]

finally forced lightmappedgeneric dx6

pls debug view do not lead me astray

failure

[drifting hinge]

bruhhh im boutta go insane from the ray tracing

map loading stuck on lua started

[drifting hinge]

and it works on normal gmod

imma crash out

[drifting hinge]

what a suprise when i uninstall arc9 it fixes itself

[quiet scroll]

i fixed my comfyui text2image+pbr workflow

I haven't touched it in months and I accidentally saved it while it was brokey

The model's probably outdated, still looks really ai-y, I'm sure there's a better model out there now

[lament quartz]

@drifting hinge merri crystler

got the sand map & the car, but the gun was just a black texture and idk how to fix those something about removing a .vmt file or something, the car also's wrapped in a lil bit of it 3

[drifting hinge]

oh my skibidi

[drifting hinge]

I wonder what MachineCult dupes will look like with hl2rtx replacements

[drifting hinge]

i think somethings wrong with the sand, it looks flatter for me

@subtle bison do you have any idea

[lapis delta]

enable displacement i guess

or maybe change the factor

[drifting hinge]

where

caustics....

[subtle bison]

@drifting hinge

mess with the Global Displacement Factor to control the strength

[drifting hinge]

alright

yeah it does funky stuff and now theres depth

but why wasnt it enabled by default, what did i do when installing remix lol

[subtle bison]

it isnt enabled by default on new remix installs

[drifting hinge]

thats dumb

[subtle bison]

skurtyy could update the rtx.conf they ship though

[drifting hinge]

yuup

[lament quartz]

@subtle bison have you ever tried g water in rtx remix btw? kinda curious if its even possible

[subtle bison]

it probably wont work

it uses renderhooks that render over the game

unless we can get remix to handle that

would require some kind of custom build

[lament quartz]

ah

[drifting hinge]

gwater rtx would be fucking diabolical

[subtle bison]

omfg im so mad

[drifting hinge]

what

[peak rover]

egypt

[subtle bison]

i spent like 3 days trying vtables and signatures on the binary module to hook into r_cullbox to disable view frustrum cullimg.
and i realized it can all be done in FUCKING lua in like 1 hour by manipulating the render bounds

@keen rivet

x64 getting closer to replace 32-bit

[drifting hinge]

[subtle bison]

💀 💀 💀 💀

[drifting hinge]

hdri...

🤤

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-binary/commit/35ca12880c9d65af835f185607b97715081d820f

its official

[drifting hinge]

woman

[subtle bison]

view frustrum culling is FINALLY FUCKING DEAD ON x64

[subtle bison]

idk why its happening but the HDRIs only work on the 1st map load

if i load the same map again or another one, the hashes change from what they're supposed to be

so no HDRI

[drifting hinge]

bad...

[winter radish]

The day 64-bit comes is the day I start hosting RTX Gmod Servers

[subtle bison]

oh no

[winter radish]

RTX murder mystery anyone? Lol

[drifting hinge]

bad.... need..... hdri...

[subtle bison]

i'll release it on workshop once i fix the hashes changing each map

[drifting hinge]

asap...

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/its-out-when-its-ready-gif-6182608754390432852

[drifting hinge]

never

but does he know why it changes hashes

[subtle bison]

yes, the render target texture i created gets re-made each map load, not sure why its consistent on the 1st one on every game boot but im getting there

[drifting hinge]

i love listening to remix nerds ❤️

[subtle bison]

nerd react inbound

[lapis delta]

what

[subtle bison]

you heard me right

[lapis delta]

yea...

you mean gmod interface is perfect, right?

[lapis delta]

i wanna test it.. NOW

[subtle bison]

i mean it works on 32-bit too since its just lua lol

but yall already have it off

btw it only does it for props for now

so you need the custom world renderer i also made, but that has its own issues

[drifting hinge]

i love yuo CR thank you for being the nerdiest cat in the server

if blueamulet was back, we'd have fully working gmod x64 months ago

[lapis delta]

you can convert textures easily, i can tell you if you want

[drifting hinge]

i have no knowledge on the remix toolkit

[subtle bison]

start learning 🤓

[drifting hinge]

but tell me anyway 🤓

[subtle bison]

LMAO

[lapis delta]

what if the three of you got together?

[subtle bison]

who knows lol, im relatively new going this deep with the source engine lol

[lapis delta]

normal's alpha map - glossiness (roughness, but inverted)
diffuse's alpha map - metalness (sometimes specular, just do some tweaks to map and it'll be metalness)

this is how i know

because at one time I made materials for source

[drifting hinge]

[lapis delta]

first of all, you need to download vtfedit

[drifting hinge]

i already got that

[subtle bison]

bro is about to give a whole-ass source guide

🧑‍🏫

[drifting hinge]

nerddddd

[lapis delta]

nice, then you need to unpack addon

[subtle bison]

nah let him cook

[drifting hinge]

uh huh

hold on pc started goofing i need to restard

[lapis delta]

after this, you need to go to materials folder, find these textures, which you need

there will be normal map, phong exponent map and diffuse map

e - exponent

n - normal

rgb, d, c or whatever - diffuse map

[drifting hinge]

ohhh god im boutta dieee thats alot of text

[lapis delta]

we dont need exponent map

we need only diffuse and normal

there will be four channels, we need an alpha map

ok, there is specular map

like i said, u need to change the levels, move the curves somewhere

this is glossiness map, u need to invert this

[drifting hinge]

many words

there are gangstalkers waiting to jump me after i follow your instructions

[lapis delta]

itll be A LOT EASIER to copy map than extract the texture fully

[keen rivet]

fantastic stuff

[subtle bison]

i probably need to reduce the render bound sizes a bit because dense maps have like 12fps

then some other maps are completely unaffected

[keen rivet]

do those maps have 12 fps on the 32bit equivalent patched version

[subtle bison]

im about to find out

the 12fps map was this
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3395418601

i even turned off custom mesh rendering it didnt change fps at all lol

[keen rivet]

i'll try that on my 4090

[subtle bison]

it didnt feel like i was GPU bound at all

more engine than anything

[keen rivet]

only the best programming practices here

[subtle bison]

oh if you only knew how many unpublished branches that contain "FUCK" "ass", etc i have

its one accidental click away from showing in the repo

[subtle bison]

nope

51fps lmfao

[keen rivet]

crashes on my 64 bit version LOL

[subtle bison]

im using your cursed dlls on 64-bit

no issues loading into any maps so far

[keen rivet]

im also using one of my cursed dlls

[subtle bison]

hmm

does your binary module have the VEH stuff?

there is a lot of occlusionproxy errors it handles on that map

[keen rivet]

yeah it does

[subtle bison]

weird

btw if i dont ever figure out the hot patching, how do you feel about shipping the magic dlls with releases?

[keen rivet]

that sounds like a crap idea but lmao maybe

[subtle bison]

we really only need shaderapidx9

the engine/client stuff can be taken care of with my lua stuff

[keen rivet]

i think maybe we should ask @fringe ingot what exactly we're missing

i cant even load gm_construct wtf

[subtle bison]

hu

[keen rivet]

only gm_orange works lmao

[subtle bison]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/948337688824643601/1325217559640936458/attachment.gif

yep working for me

[drifting hinge]

what about gm_banana

[subtle bison]

link?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=690608033&searchtext=gm_banana

its not this lmao?

[drifting hinge]

mre xenthio said gm_orange

[subtle bison]

oh

💀

[drifting hinge]

[keen rivet]

wtf im disabling my changes thinking oh maybe i fucked something up

it just doesnt work wtf wtf wtf wtf

[subtle bison]

hu im on the main repo

[keen rivet]

somehow fixed it

eh

[subtle bison]

maybe nuke your install?

[keen rivet]

sun only appears at this angle for some reason

[subtle bison]

btw apparently i successfully removed the nodraws under water... ik i added the code but i thought it never worked... tbf i dont think i checked at the time but here's the proof

not sure why the replacement texture on the underside is so dark though

probably needs to be fixed in the toolkit

[keen rivet]

the absorption is like negative or something

[subtle bison]

also the wider render bounds fixed light culling???

i dont have any shutdown code so i cant toggle it to show the differences

wow 64-bit just got this much better in 1 day

[subtle bison]

and all it took was more lua tomfoolerly

[keen rivet]

you can do a lot with the lua side of things

[modern quest]

quite the name lol

[subtle bison]

yes i was pissed

🙂

it didnt even fix it tbh lol

[keen rivet]

rtx_disablevertexlighting 0
it was this, a setting i added with the expectation that there would be the light updaters

i want to rewrite them because someone said a while ago i could possibly do something

[lament quartz]

How is your water so bluer than the base one, it looks nifty

[subtle bison]

idk, its the same water replacement that yall have lol

it might be because of the removed nocull, light actually reaches through now

@keen rivet looks like someone is working on CI support lol

https://github.com/JarosLucky/gmod-rtx-binary

@keen rivet ok so i cleaned up my repo and rebuilt main, uhhh what happened to the skybox

[keen rivet]

errr

do you have custom world renderer on?

[subtle bison]

its off

[keen rivet]

that always broke the skybox

skybox works on my end wtf

are the skybox textures set?

[subtle bison]

there is literally no skybox lmao

same remix settings as before

[keen rivet]

OH thats probably because construct uses the shader skybox

original rtx remix fixes had a custom map with fixed skybox

[subtle bison]

then how was it working with my dirty repo

im using the same map lol

the normal one

[keen rivet]

i have no fucking clue lmao

[subtle bison]

should we find out?

idk lemme test other maps

every map is missing the skybox

💀

[keen rivet]

wtf

[subtle bison]

do a clean clone of the repo in another folder and rebuild

make sure to use the lua with it too

ofc orange works

ugh

good god

5fps on big city lmfao

[drifting hinge]

evil city the fps eater

[subtle bison]

i think its my render bounds thing

LOL

all the way to 86fps

yeah i need to fix it

[fallow mesa]

64 bit😮

[drifting hinge]

when will i be able to play gmod rtx nintendo 64

[subtle bison]

when all of our shit works lmao

its close but its also not

[keen rivet]

light updater is in and its coded infinitely nicer

[stable scarab]

look those fps

omg

[keen rivet]

old code (two files) for reference

i didnt need to create an entity for each light

[stable scarab]

btw wich gpu u have @keen rivet

[keen rivet]

4090

[stable scarab]

that's explain

[subtle bison]

i get to make sure the stuff runs well on low end hardware 🤓
(rtx 2080)

[stable scarab]

a 2080 its consider a low hardware by now? damn time flies

[keen rivet]

light updater used to have performance penalty but it seems fine now

[subtle bison]

the vram is the biggest issue

[stable scarab]

how much vram 2080 had?

[subtle bison]

if i had at least 16gb i would be more than glad to keep it longer

8gb

[stable scarab]

omg

[subtle bison]

thank our nvidia overlords

smh

[keen rivet]

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-binary/commit/111b3f4bfd930940c46ef356aaf30d475f27ea6f

[subtle bison]

i bought a RTX 5000 which is the same gpu core as my 2080 but with twice the vram

but it was DOA

🥹

[keen rivet]

i'll enable it by default since it takes like 0 performance now

[stable scarab]

from 2080 to 3080 at least they upgraded to 10gb but it's not enough

[subtle bison]

nice lmao

[subtle bison]

nah its not even close to enough

with how badly optimized games are these days, they should be offering far more on the lower end options

[stable scarab]

for remix you need at least 16gb minimun

[subtle bison]

nah lol, i dont run into vram issues on remix unless i have the toolkit or substance open along with the game

[stable scarab]

i mean, if you have running the toolkit and the game as well

[subtle bison]

ye

[keen rivet]

@subtle bison do you think its possible you can just stop the custom world renderer from touching displacements

its the only thing that blows up

[subtle bison]

yea prob

[keen rivet]

and somehow draw sky too

[subtle bison]

i havent really touched it since i got the perf issues handled

[drifting hinge]

Sir... a second custom world renderer has hit the second displacement

[subtle bison]

its next on my list after fixing my stupid HDRI cube

[lament quartz]

Skull emoji reaction reply (brotha blocked me,,, I wonder why )

[keen rivet]

the custom world renderer also doesnt do decals :(

[subtle bison]

we might be able to handle that

depends if the engine allows decals on meshes

once again, i havent really looked into it yet

[keen rivet]

oh

i found a thingy you can do i think

found a way to turn off world rendering but keep skybox

[subtle bison]

does remix behave well with it?

[keen rivet]

nvm it does turn skybox off i gues si'm stupid

[drifting hinge]

does 64 bit fix the underwater being ugly and not showing the surface

[subtle bison]

my water fix should already do that

[drifting hinge]

it dont

[subtle bison]

look at the video i replied to lol

what map are you on

[drifting hinge]

dd ocean

[subtle bison]

🤓

[drifting hinge]

uh huh

[subtle bison]

hold on

replace your old water fixes with these

[drifting hinge]

the water mod folder is the same name as the file ill try anyway

[subtle bison]

oh

i see why it works...

its not the water fix fixing it

omfg

[drifting hinge]

demonic ass water

[stable scarab]

i need lua into all source games

[subtle bison]

its the custom world renderer

it bypasses the anti-draw when underwater

lmao

[drifting hinge]

[subtle bison]

those water reflections kill my fps jesus

[subtle bison]

ok i reduced the render bound size

no longer like 5-12fps

its also customizable with a cvar now

[quiet scroll]

Think lua's powerful enough to auto-remove the black stuff around some weapons/vehicles?

[subtle bison]

the detail textures?

probably

[quiet scroll]

I thiiiiink, are these .vmt textures? It covers the gun in a black layer

I'd be willing to mess with chatgpt to have it try to cook an auto-deleter lol

[subtle bison]

finally a demo

1000 seems like a good value, fixes the culling issue but doesnt impact fps compared to 1 (default)

[modern quest]

FNV is a perfect example of how bad performance can be without culling 😦

[subtle bison]

the natural penumbra from HDRI skyboxes 🤤

[drifting hinge]

why it upside down

[subtle bison]

im rendering it in a kind've hacked way so all of the transforms are broken

i dont think ill ever fix it since its cosmetic

i cant let the engine rotate it so it always has a fixed position

it moves like a hl1 prop lol

[drifting hinge]

kinda evil ngl

[subtle bison]

required if you always want the position of the HDRIs to be stable

only way to rotate it is with the menu

[drifting hinge]

i keep forgetting i cant play your videos

https://tenor.com/view/dave-blunts-aura-concert-fat-tiktok-gif-16312103942147794831

[subtle bison]

how many people here can play my videos? 😛

i could mess with this for hours 🤤

[drifting hinge]

gmod rtx day/night system when

[subtle bison]

that might not be possible lol, i'd have to switch my own HDRI with a night cycle, even then it might not look good

you can at least have a HDRI for day and one for night

[drifting hinge]

thats just how it is sometimes

[half viper]

nope

[stable scarab]

impossible to run 80 fps at native resolution pathtracing

with a 3080

[subtle bison]

ez fix

🤓

[half viper]

nvm read the wrong shit

[subtle bison]

instant 80fps

[half viper]

i read the frame gen

[stable scarab]

yeah like that

[half viper]

not dlss

[stable scarab]

if only 3000 series had frame generation

[keen rivet]

CR i might remove crash prevention from the original repo since that one targets 32bit and these are very 64bit only crashes

its just disabling features that work for me
