Garry's Mod

[stable scarab]

or 2000 series

[half viper]

its running pretty well on full res

[subtle bison]

nah its meant for 64-bit but it was before the binary module

just kill it

lol

[half viper]

i think 50 fps

[lapis delta]

duit

[keen rivet]

i was porting my new fast lightupdater to the old branch since yknow

[half viper]

60

[keen rivet]

free fps

[subtle bison]

i love free fps

[stable scarab]

now try at 4k full res pathtracing with your 4090

[subtle bison]

was that not 4K

his hud looks stretched

[stable scarab]

mmm nope?

[keen rivet]

its 1440p

[subtle bison]

so let me get this straight, 100+ fps with full res RT? no frame gen???

at 1440p???

[keen rivet]

frame gen on

[subtle bison]

oh

[lapis delta]

now try to fire your rtx 4090 with 4k

[keen rivet]

i was 140 at auto with no frame gen

[subtle bison]

now try to blow up your 4090 with dynamite

[keen rivet]

i think auto was at balanced

[lapis delta]

it's better obviously

[keen rivet]

let me try 32bit version with better lightupdater and see how that runs

[stable scarab]

so a 5090 will run 1440p or even 4k full res pathtraced 60fps

[subtle bison]

mirror

ent_remove_all func_reflective_glass

[half viper]

yupo

[stable scarab]

btw this console command only works in gmod, right?

[lapis delta]

@modern quest can you pin this?

[subtle bison]

ye, source doesnt have any native mirror entities iirc

[lapis delta]

not only

[modern quest]

it'd be good if that could just be integrated into whatever tutorial is already pinned. pins without explanations are messy

[subtle bison]

im pretty sure i made a mini-addon earlier that auto removes them

let me find that and get it merged to remix fixes

no need to pin anything

[half viper]

still how do i fiix the rpg

[subtle bison]

what i sent you was the fix

[half viper]

no it didnt

[subtle bison]

nuke your gmod and reinstall with skurtyys script

[half viper]

i have the latest one and its clean

[stable scarab]

in normal hl2 the screen suffers like a flickering when i enter to some areas... but idk how to fix it

like in the video

[subtle bison]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1139352699180163112/1325256640097812591/attachment.gif

[lapis delta]

yea, i have this one and it crashes too

[subtle bison]

@quiet scroll

[keen rivet]

32 bit

[subtle bison]

40fps

unplayable

[stable scarab]

that's deffinetely not playable

[half viper]

nah

it is playable

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/joke-missed-over-your-head-gif-8604199

[half viper]

bruh im retarted

[stable scarab]

that 4090 its sweating

[keen rivet]

performance difference very low

[subtle bison]

did x64 show any perf improvements?

[keen rivet]

this is 64bit

[stable scarab]

what about cpu usage ? i mean, 64bit uses more cpu

[keen rivet]

they seem to be the same for me

[stable scarab]

the bottleneck is somehow reduced

[keen rivet]

64bit uses more cpu probably because multicore rendering defaults to on

goes to 50 here on 64 bit sometimes

[quiet scroll]

latest one as in the one that came out yesterday?

[lapis delta]

yup

0.5.1

[half viper]

yessir rpg boom boom game

[lapis delta]

exactly

what!

[drifting hinge]

[lapis delta]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1116089843479498782/1323478571691544576/trul.gif

[quiet scroll]

drop y'alls logs

[lapis delta]

can u send this again?

[half viper]

idk where log is

[drifting hinge]

[quiet scroll]

i'ts in rtx-remix/logs I think

[half viper]

there is nothing here

[quiet scroll]

maybe root folder, something like gmod_d3d9.log

[drifting hinge]

hey.... skurrrrrrrttttyyyyyyyyy...... can you remix all the m9k addons.... and enhance they textures.... also in the sand house map you forgot to replace the ceiling texture....

[lapis delta]

wait

[drifting hinge]

yeah these logs are kinda evil

[half viper]

mine

[lapis delta]

evil Larry

[drifting hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/kanye-staring-kanye-licking-tongue-freaky-kanye-west-gif-15941287331980361537

[lapis delta]

WTF

[drifting hinge]

evil ray tracing kanye

[quiet scroll]

Hmmm y'all might have to open tickets with remix, I don't see a spot where it went boom boom

[lapis delta]

wait a min

[half viper]

what but i have never had a issue with the rpg

even when i tried the manual install like last year

[subtle bison]

its definitely engine related

[quiet scroll]

See if manually installing still crashes it

[subtle bison]

did you test yours with a completely clean gmod build?

[drifting hinge]

kanye infected the computers with the rpg crash lua virus

[subtle bison]

also everyone else should disable all addons except for rtx fixes and niknaks

[half viper]

ok

[subtle bison]

if it still crashes then something weird is going on

its not remix though

[half viper]

what about maps

[quiet scroll]

Yeah whenever I release I do a total clean gmod install, and then install with latest build

[subtle bison]

maps are fine i think

[lapis delta]

i think i need to send console.log

but there is one problem

i cant find this thing

[quiet scroll]

Its weird cuz if the game crashes it usually generates a log in the rtx-remix/logs folder

[lapis delta]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1077030283792097420/1293242925995524146/togif-9.gif

[half viper]

still

boom

[subtle bison]

even when engine related?

it should not

i know for a fact remix is not the cause of these crashes lol

[half viper]

i think its looking for a texture or something i think somethings missing

[subtle bison]

nah the engine is trying to create a shader for a effect/sprite system that does not exist on fixed function rendering

we patch this for 32-bit by fixing vertex buffers

[half viper]

weird that i can use a grenade tho

[quiet scroll]

hmmm I'm looking around at my ingame settings to see if I notice anything that should be off

Moist what's your console look like in-game?

[half viper]

hold on lemme load into a map

[quiet scroll]

Also on the RTX menu, are all these checked?

[half viper]

tf\

the steam

[drifting hinge]

FUCK pseudoplayer ALL my homies HATE pseudoplayer

[half viper]

overlay suddenly appeard and now is stuck

[quiet scroll]

wait that just gave me a genius idea

[drifting hinge]

uh oh

[quiet scroll]

what if I just add pseudoplayer commands to the autoexec.cfg

[drifting hinge]

skurtyy gonna start cooking again

[quiet scroll]

that way we don't have to enter it in the console every load

[drifting hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/kanye-staring-kanye-licking-tongue-freaky-kanye-west-gif-15941287331980361537

[subtle bison]

probably wont work lol, autoexec is used on game launch, lua cvars arent available until you're loaded into a map

just ask xenthio to disable them by default

[quiet scroll]

*enable by default @keen rivet heyyyyy xenthiooo, think we could enable pseudo everything by default?

[subtle bison]

i dont really know what the fuss is with the pseudo models

[keen rivet]

it should be off by default i thought...

[subtle bison]

they work fine for me

[keen rivet]

they work fine for me too

also CR I fixed the should render logic in the world renderer

so you dont have to lookup material name anymore

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet btw idea, why not get the binary module to automatically tag textures based on their vmt contents and filename? iirc the remix api allows this

[keen rivet]

i couldnt find anything in the remix api to do that

but yeah i wanted to do that

[subtle bison]

hu, is it just bridge only?

i swear xoxor4d is doing this

[quiet scroll]

Oh no I mean on by default, like we load in with pseudo on, I like being able to hide guns/models without erasing the originals

[half viper]

hm

im confuse

[subtle bison]

only issue is getting users to correctly tag them lol

its probably better to leave it off by default

make a separate guide.md or something in your repo for those interested

[quiet scroll]

Ohh true, it'd be hard to tell which one is which

[half viper]

lmao why he blue

[keen rivet]

WHY HE BLUE

[subtle bison]

remix doesnt hook into UI elements

UI models look weird in fixed function

[quiet scroll]

Sorry I'm stumped, I can't figure out why the install would be causing the game to crash cuz of the rpg :/ You could open a issue with all the logs on the github and I'm sure someone will poke into it

I just did another clean install of everything and no boom boom here

[subtle bison]

then its probably addon related

[half viper]

the problem is i did a clean install

no its only maps

now

[subtle bison]

wait

so explosions only crash the game on certain maps??

[half viper]

dam only gm construct

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/black-cat-stare-gif-21084269

im going insane

[drifting hinge]

holy fuck never search kayak in the gmod workshop i was trying to find a boat

[subtle bison]

ok doing it

[drifting hinge]

mini jumpscare

[subtle bison]

nahh its not that bad

[quiet scroll]

regular gm_construct, or gm_construct_rtx, the rtx one specifically works for rtx gmod

[half viper]

no i cant use a fucking shotgun

[drifting hinge]

bro i almost exploded all over my screen

[subtle bison]

elaborate
🤨

[half viper]

both

[drifting hinge]

[half viper]

i was in the liminal water thing and rpg works there but not a shotgun tf

[keen rivet]

Hey when you used the mystery fix dll

[drifting hinge]

liminal water?!?!? they made water liminal...

[keen rivet]

Did you put it in the win64 folder

[half viper]

what

[keen rivet]

bin/win64

[half viper]

no

[keen rivet]

Wait are you using the 64bit fixes

or 32bit

[half viper]

no 32

[keen rivet]

Oh ok

Do you have the portal with rtx stdshadee dlls

[half viper]

i guess father grigori dont like a shotgun to face

[drifting hinge]

how ungrateful

[half viper]

ikr

[stable scarab]

im blue dabade dabada

[half viper]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointment-gif-24012485

what if its bc i have all of the half life games enabled in gmod

[earnest yew]

qTHAT LOOKS YUMMY

[drifting hinge]

qTHAT

[quiet scroll]

Could mat_picmip -10 be added to the autoexec you think?

[drifting hinge]

what the slime does it do

[subtle bison]

ye

[quiet scroll]

gmod highest settings be lying

[subtle bison]

but it will break existing hashes 🙂

[drifting hinge]

killed with swords

[quiet scroll]

Ohhh trueee, if everyone's using -10 and some aren't hashes would be a mess with mods

fiddle sticks

[drifting hinge]

ohh fiddlesticks, what now?

[quiet scroll]

replace the entire texture

[drifting hinge]

what the picmip on normally

[subtle bison]

refer to the screenshot

-1

[drifting hinge]

team fortess 3

[quiet scroll]

scranchhh mods when

[drifting hinge]

whar

[quiet scroll]

need more recruits to make gmodrtx mods

[drifting hinge]

the sand replacement looks like ice cream

[drifting hinge]

uhhh im not experienced

[quiet scroll]

yeah I debated on wiping out the roughness map the texture came with and making it look less muddy but uhhh idk it had me guessing what sand actually looked like lmaooo

[drifting hinge]

you forgot what sand looked like

[quiet scroll]

i ain't be in nature like dat

all my homies hate nature

[drifting hinge]

stuck in the basement

immersion ruined.

[subtle bison]

just make it rougher?

sand isnt that reflective

[drifting hinge]

the car looks splendid though

[quiet scroll]

Yeah it's a feature I want to request, when you set a roughness or normal map in the toolkit you can't adjust the sliders anymore 😦 But for displacement you somehow can

[subtle bison]

yea i think its intentional

if you're authoring textures yourself, your software's PBR should match remix so there isnt any point in adjusting it afterwards

i would heavily recommend substance painter for doing texture work

even for editing existing textures

[quiet scroll]

Yeah substance painter and blender are on my 2025 list of things to learn, they'd both be really handy to know for remix rn all I can do is adjust glass windows to all black with microsoft paint lmaooooo

[subtle bison]

for a roughness texture, its just black and white
I use this reference image all of the time regardless of software when adjusting stuff, super handy

[quiet scroll]

oh SICKK thanks, wow that's a really well done reference cheat sheet

[drifting hinge]

skurtyyskirts if was MW2019 DECALS all over the

[subtle bison]

animated axis

HDRIs can now move on their own

[drifting hinge]

ohhh myyy lawwwwddd can i have it now

[subtle bison]

im about to publish it 🙂

[drifting hinge]

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/sambow23/hdri_cube

here it is

i decided its not gonna go on workshop

just follow the guide in the readme

[drifting hinge]

❤️

[drifting hinge]

images flashed in my mind of workshop comments like "doesnt work :/ no ray tracing"

[subtle bison]

ye exactly

[drifting hinge]

lol you thought that also?

[subtle bison]

yes

[drifting hinge]

hehe i get it alll for myself

[subtle bison]

lmao

does your PC not support H265 at all

its working for me

[drifting hinge]

how am i supposed to know

[subtle bison]

and for literally anyone else*

[subtle bison]

its a rhetorical question, H265 has been supported on the majority consumer hardware for over a decade

for some reason its broken on your system

[drifting hinge]

idk it plays when i download the file

doesnt work :/ no ray tracing cube goes BLACK when selecting the things

[subtle bison]

hu

like just completely black?

[drifting hinge]

no no theres some text

[subtle bison]

screenshot would be nice

[drifting hinge]

like dat on all sides

[subtle bison]

HUH???

this seems like a remix\engine bug

[drifting hinge]

my gmod install is fucking haunted

and also no hdri

[subtle bison]

its printing engine text onto the cube

what the fuck

guess i need to test this on a fresh gmod install

[drifting hinge]

maybe you should do that

[subtle bison]

im using x64 to test but they have the same hashes as x32

and im not using any cursed addons or anything

either way yeah i am

@quiet scroll im getting bridge errors trying to load into a map with your latest script

well disabling all of my addons except the required got me in

also you need to use xenthios version of rtxfixes now, i accidentally added my hdri_cube to my fork of rtxfixes

[quiet scroll]

Oh bet, I'll update it for the next batch

LMAOOO

[drifting hinge]

i love rtx...

[quiet scroll]

wut card u got scraanch

[drifting hinge]

gpu?

[subtle bison]

huh, so it is broken on 32-bit
why

[drifting hinge]

4070

[quiet scroll]

no like mastercard, visa

yes gpu LMAOOOOOO

[drifting hinge]

number on the back

[quiet scroll]

oh that looks like the black stuff on some weapons, the .vmt thingy

[subtle bison]

please dont tell me the HDRI cube is x64 only 😭

even the auto generated cache files are black

[drifting hinge]

this is a psyop made by CR to make 64bit the only playable version of gmod rtx

[subtle bison]

no its not i swear

😭

[drifting hinge]

im on to you mr CR

[subtle bison]

[drifting hinge]

the animal

[subtle bison]

the delicious feast

[drifting hinge]

@quiet scroll why bro wanted to know my gpu

[drifting hinge]

doctors HATE this one simple trick!
[CLICK TO KANYEIFY]

[drifting hinge]

oh it goes fast

like ten quadrillion fps

[subtle bison]

time to debug 32-bit

[drifting hinge]

ohhh im boutta debbuggggggg

also the skurtyy mod did a thing to the texture

hold up

kinda goated

[quiet scroll]

thingy thing gets replaced here, thingy thing gets replaced there

[drifting hinge]

did you say... replaced?

because i have allotta mods that need the remix treatment

[lament quartz]

Why not waaa 💔

Kidding

[subtle bison]

i was gonna say...

[drifting hinge]

daddys belt

[subtle bison]

i didnt name it lmao

[lament quartz]

I fear no belt bring it on,,,

me when 32-bit

[drifting hinge]

live footage of CR looking at the big black block i sent when the hdri didnt work

[subtle bison]

its funny because my older version worked on my hl2-based 32-bit gmod

ugh

[quiet scroll]

i really wanna know why they used the hl2.exe for that long, 15 years on steam and just now switched 💀

[subtle bison]

nah i wanna know why they switched it over for 32-bit

[drifting hinge]

because they HATE remix

[subtle bison]

i will never get over it

[lament quartz]

S&box is to blame

[drifting hinge]

they did that just to fuck us over

[subtle bison]

32-bit hl2 gmod rtx was peak

i have so many RTX mods based on that ver

and now i have to update ALL OF THEM

😭

[quiet scroll]

Same, half of my projects can't be salvaged. But it's kinda ok, looking back at my first few ones is really embarassing 😅

[subtle bison]

at least ill have a good enough excuse to clean up the hl2 mmod weapons

[modern quest]

with your pinned post, could you put in something like this:
## RTX Remix Installer for GMOD

it'll help it stand out

[drifting hinge]

still waiting

[subtle bison]

never now that you asked

[drifting hinge]

ez

[subtle bison]

we might also wanna unpin the old install methods

[quiet scroll]

oh good idea, that's much cleaner

[modern quest]

yeah. just ask me to do things like that if they're no longer necessary

[subtle bison]

@modern quest this one

oh you already got em

nice

[lament quartz]

You know it'd be cool if I COULD SEE PINS ON MOBILE

[modern quest]

you can

[subtle bison]

yea they fuckin broke it for like the 10th time for threads

[modern quest]

ah

well

discord sucks

[subtle bison]

discord devs when they're in a consistent UI challenge (they have never made one in their entire life)

[lament quartz]

They flat out removed it this time

[subtle bison]

the moment they made mobile apps react native based, it was downhill from there

on android there is a mod of the pre-react native one that still works

its missing a lot of new stuff but it ACTUALLY works

[modern quest]

it's still there for me?

[subtle bison]

ios or android

[drifting hinge]

@quiet scroll when new evil mod release

[lament quartz]

Are you on apple or android

[modern quest]

android

can't afford Apple's stuff lol

[lament quartz]

Funny because it doesn't exist for me

[subtle bison]

android

[quiet scroll]

Is it under settings?

[modern quest]

that's not where the button is for me

[subtle bison]

nah its supposed be next to mute and settings

[modern quest]

i don't have my phone right now though

[subtle bison]

omg where did they move it to

i swear im gonna lose it with this app

[modern quest]

i think it was in a swipe menu or something

[lament quartz]

WHY

[quiet scroll]

Omfg they put pins in settings 💀

[subtle bison]

WHAT

[quiet scroll]

Why would that make sense lmaoooo

[lament quartz]

Ain't no way

[drifting hinge]

i cant put down the cup

[subtle bison]

IT IS

BRUH

[lament quartz]

AH YES

PINNED

MY FAVORITE SETTING

[quiet scroll]

That's so dumbb

[subtle bison]

can i have the address of the main react native discord dev pls?

its for an entirely unrelated reason

promise

[lament quartz]

Lol I have that gifs in my favorites, its used often in the mod chat for the discord server I moderate

[subtle bison]

about to do something im gonna regret

release a alpha-alpha 64-bit build

🙂

[drifting hinge]

☺️

[subtle bison]

mostly because i do not wanna fix HDRIs for 32-bit 🙂

render targets are just too buggy

[drifting hinge]

bro we gonna kill you

[subtle bison]

dw they work on x64 🙂

[drifting hinge]

bussss

imma install that laterrrrr

[quiet scroll]

YIPPEEEEE

Hmmm I'm gunna have to decide if I should make a 32bit GmodRTX and a 64bit GmodRTX installer, or just stick with 64 when that's all stabalized

Do people who regularly play gmod run 64bit?

[subtle bison]

yea these days

32-bit is just too slow, even without remix lol

[drifting hinge]

oh hi skurty can you remix m9k small arms pack

[subtle bison]

the release is gonna be a zip file with everything needed so no installer for now. Though it requires an absolutely clean 64-bit install with no 32-bit stuff leftover

[drifting hinge]

no evil stuff leftover

[quiet scroll]

this addon?

[drifting hinge]

💀

DO NOT USE IT

[drifting hinge]

Wharrr

[subtle bison]

i deleted it

ill repost in a sec, it needs to be on the main account

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-binary/releases/tag/gmrtx64_0.1

ok now go wild

[lapis delta]

NO WAY

NO FUCKING WAYYYYY

[sinful vigil]

YES i can finally play the map without it crashing after 5 seconds!!

[lapis delta]

😔

[lapis delta]

how did you do that

[subtle bison]

hes loading a infmap

those work pretty much ootb

anyway im going to bed, im sure im gonna get 1000 @'s for 64-bit stuff

[quiet scroll]

Me when I drop a release

https://tenor.com/view/baby-yoda-yoda-hiding-hide-gif-18465108

[lapis delta]

gonna xheck this then

i hate misswriting

[modern quest]

want this pinned?

[lament quartz]

Ahem ahem how's the bug going

Lmao

[quiet scroll]

[lapis delta]

wtf with gpu usage

[lament quartz]

Okay but fr it scared me because it was a mostly empty drive, I left it to install over night and then boom my drive was filled

[lapis delta]

and yea, still black screen

[fallow mesa]

64bit ?

[lapis delta]

ohhhh, so there's no rtxfixes

wait a min

@sinful vigil how did you get it to work? i don't even have a skybox.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1116089843479498782/1323805892180836402/nurgle.gif

[fallow mesa]

I understand this is the first 64 bit ✅ (and the game hasn't exploded yet)

[odd mist]

THis is happening to me too

[sinful vigil]

for the sky use a custom sky addon, for example https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3221564432

[subtle bison]

please no

[winter radish]

LETS GOOOOOOO

Steam Deck about to go crazy

[subtle bison]

do not expect much, i need to update the instructions with some extra settings so stuff renders correctly

[wanton scarab]

yep bout the same here

[drifting hinge]

what the demon

[wanton scarab]

lights seem to update only when placed and removed for a split second

[drifting hinge]

why doe

[wanton scarab]

hell if i know this stuff out my area of expertise

im just a humble lua coder

[drifting hinge]

[wanton scarab]

oh there's a specific rtx light npc

didn't see that

yeah i can actually see now

cool

[drifting hinge]

thats just how it goons sometimes

[subtle bison]

careful with the rtx lights, they make the game unstable as I havent really optimized the communication between the binary module and source's d3d9 device

also the reason why there is no light is because i accidentally left ignore distant lights on in the remix config

ill update the archive in a bit

uncheck this

gm_flatgrass and gm_construct also use shader skyboxes that do not work so you should use a custom skybox or my HDRI sphere tool
https://github.com/sambow23/hdri_cube

[lament quartz]

imma install 64 bit rq

[subtle bison]

pls wait

[lament quartz]

oh oka

[subtle bison]

im about to update the archive

[lament quartz]

i meant

[subtle bison]

it will fix some stuff

[lament quartz]

like gmod

64

[subtle bison]

oh ye ur good

[lament quartz]

:eyye:

dude steam takes so long to installl shittttt because it always does it in pulses for me

like dawg

[subtle bison]

updated the release

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-binary/releases/tag/gmrtx64_0.1

please for the love of god follow the instructions before reporting issues

[subtle bison]

ok well nevermind it doesnt work on a clean gmod install at all

time to fix

[lament quartz]

time for my 17th install of garrys mod

do i need to install the 64 beta too @subtle bison

[subtle bison]

ye

[lament quartz]

oka

and does rtx remix come pre added like the p2 mod or do we need to add it manually too

[subtle bison]

its pre-added

everything needed to make it run is in the archive

[wanton scarab]

yeah i noticed, tried to load up some scenebuilds and light them with it, but it seemed to crash right about when the light was to hit an alpha transparency prop

[subtle bison]

yeah, no telling when i'll get them to work properly. we're not supposed to be creating rtx remix api lights directly, usually you'd use the bridge but we do not have that since it's 64-bit

so its really a hack lol

[lament quartz]

alr now time for hdri stuff

[subtle bison]

just in time

i just pushed a fix that fixes some issues

[lament quartz]

also where in the context menu is the rtx stuff

[subtle bison]

though you'll only be able to use the 4 preset HDRIs as 32-bit and 64-bit have some issues creating RT textures, so i had to premake them

[subtle bison]

check the screenshot in the github release

[lament quartz]

oooh

[wanton scarab]

are the HDRIs included in the package

i couldn't find any HDRI ents

[lament quartz]

"minecraftify"

[wanton scarab]

or is it separate

[subtle bison]

separate

https://github.com/sambow23/hdri_cube

[wanton scarab]

cool thanks

[subtle bison]

for HDRIs to show correctly, ignore distant lights in the runtime

ill update the github instructions rq

[wanton scarab]

will do

[lone arch]

i clicked gmod from garrysmodrtx folder and got crashed during server side loading

[wanton scarab]

remixbinary really doesn't like "prop_effect" ents does it

[subtle bison]

its a cleanup issue i forgot to fix

i think it's fixed upstream but i didnt merge it for the release

[wanton scarab]

why is it trying to delete them on client instead of server

[lament quartz]

wholy shmoley

[subtle bison]

if it's for 64-bit, you need to follow the instructions in the github release

[subtle bison]

hu, i dont have that issue

[lament quartz]

is it because of my custom resolutionj

[lone arch]

nvm

[lament quartz]

i also cannot get hdri cube to work for me

[subtle bison]

[lone arch]

i forgot to click bat but now after loading it still crashes

[subtle bison]

details?

[lament quartz]

lemme send a video rq

[wanton scarab]

we cookin now

[subtle bison]

hdri?

[lone arch]

garrysmodrtx folder supposed to overwrite the garrys mod folder?

[wanton scarab]

hdri cube doesn't seem to work for some reason but at least we got light

[lament quartz]

idk what i did wrong but i did something wrong

[subtle bison]

did yall install the rtx mod

[lament quartz]

yeah

[subtle bison]

omfg please tell me the hashes dont change for other people

one sec

[wanton scarab]

@subtle bison was i supposed to put this one or remixmod in the mods folder

[subtle bison]

when you open the geometry hash debug view and click default on the HDRI panel, does the color match this?
@lament quartz

it should be a slightly bright blue

[lament quartz]

one sec

[subtle bison]

path should look like this

[wanton scarab]

yeah that's how it is

i may have bad news

[subtle bison]

did you click the default preset first?

that looks like the normal one before applying one

[lament quartz]

i clicked default

[wanton scarab]

anything after i click default?

[subtle bison]

omfg

how do yall have matching colors but mine doesnt

[subtle bison]

im also using a clean install

[lament quartz]

wait i moved and it changed

[wanton scarab]

after default

[subtle bison]

it should not do that

[wanton scarab]

mine's not changing on movement

[subtle bison]

only thing i can think of is addons messing with render targets causing the hashes to change

[wanton scarab]

possible

[lament quartz]

i have an empty install minus maps

[wanton scarab]

not sure i have any that mess with RTs but will try disabling all later, have to go elsewhere now

[subtle bison]

ima record a video of me spawning it and applying presets and tell me if anything matches yalls

it should stay consistent between map loads

[lament quartz]

also the sky itself is kindaa messed up a bit

[subtle bison]

ye the skybox is broken

its a noted issue

64-bit uses a custom world renderer and the skybox will not work with it turned on

[lament quartz]

ok well now im probably gonna clean install because idk wth i did

[subtle bison]

why does everyone get those weird UI issues

that's 3 people so far

[wanton scarab]

man i can't even see the derma text on the top cus it's all white lol

guess i gotta get a skin

[subtle bison]

nah that would be on me for not testing it without a skin lol

ok fixed it

[lament quartz]

I love driving my hdri cube

[subtle bison]

hey so you only have map mods enabled?

nothing else?

[lament quartz]

yeah

there shouldnt be

[subtle bison]

so let me get this straight

1. clean gmod install
2. copied all the files to the gmod folder, replaced everything
3. installed hdri mod, etc

nothing notable inbetween?

[lament quartz]

correct

to my knowledge

[subtle bison]

what is causing different hashes wtf

[lament quartz]

does it need rtx remix fixes at all?

[subtle bison]

no

64-bit has its own version from the binary module and some lua stuff

[subtle bison]

.

💀

[lament quartz]

uh ok so i did have one mod installed, i wont say what it is because i cant, lemme unistall it rq

[subtle bison]

also

cough

[lament quartz]

i jus wanna mess with hdri but i was told it doesnt work on 32

[subtle bison]

well the same reason why its not working on 32-bit is also applying here now lol

this is what i get for not fully testing it on a clean x64

im really at a loss, i disabled everything but the minimum required addons and 1 map and it still works

[lament quartz]

hey thats the same map im using lol

why is there no addon search feature in 64

[subtle bison]

because the cef menu was replaced with a lua one

CEF doesnt work at all so this is the best we got

[lament quartz]

grahh what am i doing wrong lol

[subtle bison]

ok im gonna record a video of me installing the 64-bit compat mod and the HDRI

from scratch

its not really a tutorial but to see if something is missing lol

[drifting hinge]

why it a hole

[subtle bison]

64-bit does not need RTXfixes

the readme clearly states to uninstall it

[lament quartz]

well now what did i do

[fallow mesa]

I'll try a clean install again

[lament quartz]

for now ill stick to 32 bit until its proper

[willow fog]

Should I give 64 bit a shot?

[lament quartz]

no

[willow fog]

hm

I'll wait

There are some bigger maps that I want to try

[subtle bison]

yea i just got this too

i was able to fix it

it means the hashes are now right but remix isnt loading the HDRI correctly

[lament quartz]

somehow i messed up my 32 bit version

[subtle bison]

here is a quick video of me doing a clean install

[fallow mesa]

I can HDRI works on 32bit ?

[subtle bison]

HDRIs wasnt working though, ill definitely need to investigate the consistency issues

[lament quartz]

oh my god

ok hdri aside

i can run mw plane editor in 64 bit

[subtle bison]

ye 64-bit is very stable despite the visual issues

[lament quartz]

or maybe

[subtle bison]

you can try enabling HDR but i think it breaks model rendering

[lament quartz]

how do i even enable it from here

[subtle bison]

game settings

[lament quartz]

so this one

[subtle bison]

full

oh its missing

weird

yea idk then

[lament quartz]

dang

[subtle bison]

wait

i think the issue is that github is corrupting the HDRI dds files

if i copy my local files they work again

ugh

guess ill be using an external host

btw arc9 works well

[drifting hinge]

evil9

[lament quartz]

drive.google.com

[subtle bison]

yea that's what im thinking

[lament quartz]

anyways is there a chance that changing the beta to 64 bit brok my 32 bit install?

[kind kraken]

@subtle bison not GMOD related so if you wanna move to #asset-creation we can. But regarding HDRis, I have one here on PolyHaven that I'm gonna edit to fit my needs. It's a gray overcast but I'm gonna make it reddish brown. I have a photoshop equivalent, should I be downloading in .exr format? and just the gamma needs to be adjusted before using Nvidia's tools to convert to .dds?

[subtle bison]

.exr or .hdr works, whichever has the bigger file size. For editing HDRI colors, i believe you have to use Photoshop's camera raw tools otherwise it crushes the dynamic range

and yes the gamma needs to be adjusted before modifying it

[kind kraken]

I'd be surprised if Affinity Photo 2 couldn't edit raw

[subtle bison]

i tried affinity but it always removes the HDR details

i was probably missing something though

[kind kraken]

[subtle bison]

you can totally compress the HDRI to 8-bit to make importing MUCH easier, but you lose the precision that remix takes advantage of

[lament quartz]

like at all

[subtle bison]

i would keep the 64-bit stuff entirely separate from your 32-bit stuff

[lament quartz]

i did

but now skurts gmod rtx launcher is rasturized

[subtle bison]

hu

different gmod folder?

that's what i meant by separate

[lament quartz]

entirely

[subtle bison]

uhh not related to my stuff then

[kind kraken]

I want to get the full effect, so 16-bit is the play. 8K seems viable. When bringing it into Affinity it already mentioned changing something to linear format?

[subtle bison]

nothing persists between gmod installs

[subtle bison]

not too sure, i barely have any experience in affinity other than buying all of their products because i got tired of adobe

[lament quartz]

weird because ive changed nothing in that folder

[subtle bison]

i think a day later i went straight back to PS

their software isnt bad, but i have so much muscle memory with adobe products lol

[kind kraken]

@subtle bison found this online, gonna test it

[subtle bison]

lmk if you get any clipping issues in remix

it happens in the toolkit and runtime

[kind kraken]

it explicitly says it wont cause clipping so here's hoping

[subtle bison]

for remix?

[kind kraken]

no, as part of the image editing process

so it's the last stage where clipping can be introduced?

[subtle bison]

the HDRI will look fine anywhere except remix

but that post does specifically mention converting it to 16-bit half float which might resolve the issue entirely

@lament quartz yea, i copied my local copy of HDRIs and it fuckin works again
ill upload them to google drive and send u a link

[lament quartz]

oka

[subtle bison]

hmm one sec

ok welp

i really messed up lol

looks like we need rtxfixes afterall, mb everyone

im including the latest master from xenthios github into the archive, we still cant use the workshop version

[drifting hinge]

common CR L

[subtle bison]

ok well the latest master actually crashes the game, workshop version it is 💀

[fallow mesa]

💀

[drifting hinge]

[subtle bison]

updated the github page

didnt change the archive, just changed the instructions

[drifting hinge]

i dont care who CR sends i am NOT changing to 64bit

[subtle bison]

dw i think i can get HDRI's to work on 32-bit since we're encountering the same issues on 64-bit 🙂

guess this is why testing pays off

[drifting hinge]

nevermind

common CR W

[subtle bison]

[drifting hinge]

evil ass emoji

[subtle bison]

i am feeling mischievous today

[drifting hinge]

evil CR: I HATE 64bit...

[subtle bison]

lets do 128-bit

[drifting hinge]

demonic

[subtle bison]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUcI0p04XJw

[fallow mesa]

release in 2077

[subtle bison]

@lament quartz wanna retry the HDRI stuff?

https://github.com/sambow23/hdri_cube

[drifting hinge]

did he bless the hdri cube

[subtle bison]

bailey at least had working hashes on their end but github broke the actual HDRIs so they wouldnt load

i wanna see if they work for them now

no idea if 32-bit has working hashes

ill find out

@drifting hinge man do i have news for you 🙂

[lament quartz]

yea one sec

did you figure out why hdr is disabled fully tho

[subtle bison]

probably because it requires dxlevel 95

nothing we can really do lol

[lament quartz]

dang it

[drifting hinge]

oihhhhh myyy bussss

[lament quartz]

no bueno

[subtle bison]

ok but why

[lament quartz]

its stilll grey

[subtle bison]

well it means the hashes are working

you're halfway there

[lament quartz]

awesome

[drifting hinge]

i need the hdri NOW

[subtle bison]

did you delete the old hdri folder and replace it from the one from gdrive?

[lament quartz]

yes

[drifting hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-animated-sitcom-peter-peter-griffin-funny-gif-17656245

[subtle bison]

should look like this

[lament quartz]

lemme do that againg

wait oops

im so dumb i forgot to add the gdrive folder

sometimes i think, i swear

[subtle bison]

they work for me

[drifting hinge]

evil

[subtle bison]

streetlight gm_construct lookin

[drifting hinge]

ohhh my awd

[lament quartz]

he-he-hell yeah

[subtle bison]

make sure to ignore the gmod light so it actually influences the environment

[drifting hinge]

the gmod light

[fallow mesa]

howww

[subtle bison]

omg i mean this

[subtle bison]

i pushed some changes to make it work, delete the old stuff and re-follow the updated instructions

[drifting hinge]

common CR demon

[lament quartz]

yeahy

[subtle bison]

u gonna try it?

i told u 32-bit works 🙂

[drifting hinge]

imma do it rn

literally gooning into construct as we speak

[lament quartz]

grahh i gotta do a fresh install of 32 bit to try it there

[drifting hinge]

what now

[subtle bison]

why is your game half-rasterized

[drifting hinge]

iunno

[lament quartz]

thats what mine does too sometimes

like the white room and all props are rasterized

[subtle bison]

this is with skurtyys script?

[lament quartz]

yea

[drifting hinge]

manual instal

[subtle bison]

something between dec 9th and now broke something

other than the gmod.exe bombshell

[drifting hinge]

it doesnt goon

[subtle bison]

what does that mean lol

doesnt work?

[willow fog]

It doesn't jork its penoits

[drifting hinge]

no hdri

[lament quartz]

imma be trying hdri once skurttys installer responds,,,,

[subtle bison]

the only reason why it wouldnt be working on 32-bit is that a addon is changing render targets so the hashes stop matching

so tl;dr, disable everything except the required stuff
@drifting hinge

[drifting hinge]

imma get evil ok

ill do that

[lament quartz]

i hope its not another zip bomb like the last one

[subtle bison]

also wait

does his script include a custom version of rtxfixes?

💀

it does

[drifting hinge]

still no hdri

[subtle bison]

ok im gonna send u a video, just follow it and tell me what u see

[drifting hinge]

h265

[subtle bison]

yes

[drifting hinge]

[subtle bison]

just download it or something

[drifting hinge]

demonn

[subtle bison]

anyway, do the colors of the cube in the debug view match mine?

this is 32-bit

[lapis delta]

for normal work with arc9, you need:
• disable post-processing
• disable blur

[subtle bison]

i didnt even have to do that, just the hud

no rendering issues

[drifting hinge]

chill im still watching

[lapis delta]

uhm, your hands are rasterized

[subtle bison]

yea i turned off all of the post process stuff after recording, it didnt fix it

[lapis delta]

huh?

[subtle bison]

its only rasterized with the iron sight

[drifting hinge]

they all the same thing when pressing the thing

color

[subtle bison]

did you delete the old addon with the new one on the github page?

[drifting hinge]

yes

[subtle bison]

guess im doing my 3rd clean gmod 32-bit install

[drifting hinge]

evil maxxing

[lone arch]

does anyone know if theres fix of this?

[lapis delta]

is the last update working well?

[subtle bison]

i posted new instructions

[lapis delta]

i mean about rtx-binary

[subtle bison]

i would re-do everything from scratch

[subtle bison]

yeah but most of the same issues exist

[lone arch]

in github?

[subtle bison]

the HDRI skybox kinda works around the skybox issues

ye

same page

i just updated it

[lament quartz]

32 bit

[quiet scroll]

I could push 0.5.2 with the new rtx fixes today

[lament quartz]

oh my god its beutiful

[subtle bison]

i probably wouldnt? the latest master crashes x64, see if it does for you on 32-bit

[subtle bison]

glad to see it

guess that confirms it works on both now

thx

[quiet scroll]

Lemme see

[lament quartz]

its so weird im still getting ass performance

[subtle bison]

the HDRIs are kinda big so im not surprised

nothing i can to do optimize them

[drifting hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/nba-gif-15687325833433865178

[subtle bison]

just remember they literally cast their own light so i imagine remix isnt too happy with the extra light bounces lol

its a whole damn sphere of light

[quiet scroll]

is xenthio's repository the latest one?

[subtle bison]

ye

[lament quartz]

i dont remember replacing the water here lol

[subtle bison]

prob my universal water fix

it replaces all water

[lament quartz]

ahhh

[kind kraken]

How are you doing it? Is it a method unique to gmod?

[subtle bison]

yea its a lua script that replaces all water textures with a random dev one so we only have to work with 1 hash

it even fixes broken water materials like ones in hl2 ep2

ty valve for the plethora of unused dev textures

[lament quartz]

omg

[subtle bison]

bro our brains synced up

lmao

[lament quartz]

fr

whats the mirror removal command again

[subtle bison]

ent_remove_all func_reflective_glass

something about retro and then photorealistic lighting and water is just such a vibe

[lament quartz]

fr

[lapis delta]

https://youtu.be/wfMl0kXFmiE?si=MLp3QKsCPPKh5aC0

[subtle bison]

lol which part is the wtf

the amount of maps i have?

[lapis delta]

yea....

[lament quartz]

h*nt down the freeman 🤢

[subtle bison]

dw about it 🙂

[subtle bison]

best HDTF moment

[quiet scroll]

the apocalypse is upon us

[subtle bison]

uhh

that 1st video

the color thing should not be affecting the actual HDRI colors...

its only meant for changing the texture hash lmfao

unless you modified the actual HDRI files

oh turn off 3d sky

or anything in the skybox

[quiet scroll]

no edits to the hdri, 3dsky off in this one. They're all red for some reason

Lemme check somethin

arrr naurrr the latest rtxfixes brought back the flickering water thing, I wonder if that's it

I don't get why tho cuz these look like the ones I had last time

[lament quartz]

@subtle bison this isnt like a do it now thing but if you ever get the chance could you add https://ambientcg.com/view?id=NightSkyHDRI001 ? itd be hella cool in gmod

[subtle bison]

yea sure

it's gonna be a while, converting is not fun 😁

[lament quartz]

fair lol

[quiet scroll]

Ohhhh wait, it was the volumetric lighting

YIPPEEEE

that's so coool you can make the clouds move

[subtle bison]

using the animator?

yea i thought that was a neat feature

could be used for a timelapse or something

btw if anyone wants to add HDRIs themselves, i have a rough guide from a few months ago

#1116089843479498782 message

requires a bit of linux skill

automata is trying a different method, hopefully his works a lot better than mine

[lapis delta]

damn(

[quiet scroll]

I wonder what happened with the water tho, if I switch back to your fork the waters all good

[subtle bison]

water also works fine on the workshop ver of rtx fixes

we should probably stick to that or my fork for now, until xenthio investigates the issue

[quiet scroll]

Sounds good, this is siiiiiick good work CR

[lament quartz]

Is that why the water textures are not moving?

[subtle bison]

its weird, in some maps it animates but not others. Really though the animation needs to be handled in remix now since we have a static texture ingame

we dont do that currently and it its a static water normal

i might make my own custom water texture for remix and animate it

depends on how hard it is

[subtle bison]

this loosk like infmap?

[lapis delta]

yea, it is

[subtle bison]

the base map doesnt work, other ones do tho

like vice city, etc

[quiet scroll]

I thought about doing that as well, there's some really cool PBR water sets in some of the free PBR sets #1211706192510844999 message I figure if I swap out all the water textures with them something will happen

[lament quartz]

grahhhhhh

[subtle bison]

ah heck naw not TF2 maps

[lament quartz]

what

[subtle bison]

nah im kidding

[lament quartz]

holy shit by far my favourite screen shot so far

[subtle bison]

that remix bloom is killing me

looks like vaseline on a camera lens

not ur fault tho

[quiet scroll]

That's so trippy, it gives me the illusion that I need to squint my eyes

[subtle bison]

this is why i love high precision images

zoom into the sun, the autoexposure should keep compensating

[willow fog]

A bit washed out

[subtle bison]

im hoping i can make some sort of HDRI import tool that does all of the hard work so it can be just plug-n-play

but i feel like creating a tool like that is gonna be really hard lmfao

the gamma conversions especially

[willow fog]

2.2

[quiet scroll]

I always explain to claude what I'm trying to do in a long detailed message and then at the end ask it if it can automate it, 3 times outta the 4 I've asked it it's given me a python script that'll automate everything I'm gunna start digging into some lua stuff and see if it can cook up some stuff

[subtle bison]

yeah i've used claude here and there for a lot of the binary module stuff and some lua things

really helpful

[lament quartz]

i wish i could enable volumetric but then I cant do hdri fsr

[subtle bison]

yea i dont think i can fix that

i think its a remix bug though, since that should affect any emissives

@lament quartz how does this look?

RR kinda acts weird with it

[lament quartz]

a bit bright but it looks good

[subtle bison]

i might be able to tweak it

there isnt much HDR detail in it so it shouldnt start clipping

lol

looks cool but i cant see shit

spooky-ahh grigori

[lament quartz]

Hell yeah

That's what I was hoping for

[subtle bison]

oke ill upload it rq

[lament quartz]

Alr

[subtle bison]

which one do u want it to replace

[lament quartz]

warm

[subtle bison]

we were in a simulation all along

[lament quartz]

all im saing is....

[subtle bison]

find me a aurora boralis hdri

[lament quartz]

the aurora is an emissive in the map

[subtle bison]

yea but it wont translate to remix lol

[lament quartz]

oh true

[subtle bison]

no way

https://ambientcg.com/view?id=NightSkyHDRI007

ok one sec lmfao

[lament quartz]

alr

i have work soon and id love to try it out before then lol

[subtle bison]

dw i have 15 minute shipping

[lament quartz]

alr

[subtle bison]

for $300
