It only impacts lights calculated by VRAD so basically everything but env_projected texture and light_dynamic (which is why it's controlled by a .rad file). That's why you have to compile your map to see shadows cast by alpha tested textures. env_projected texture will effect any entity no matter if it's in the .rad file

Basically when a ray hits a transparent object, it has to sample from the texture to figure out if the point is opaque or semi transparent or fully transparent to determine what to do next. So in case of foliage, rays have to sample through layers upon layers of transparent cards which destroys performance.
stable scarab
So that's explain why in cod 4 path traced ill been having like 15-20 fps in maps where are too many trees and folliage, i need to set it all to "ignore alpha"

Ahh, my settings are usually 1 light bounces and 8 max - what's in the screenshot is just the default that comes with remix on a fresh install/minus particles being enabled 🙂 My textures are also set to high - in my experience I've never had a performance loss having 8 bounces, but I have a 4090 so it's kinda hard to tell lol

also it looks like decals work
i guess r_drawworld 0 disables them
next issue to somehow solve if possible, blended textures 😭
some maps abuse these and will look completely broken, custom world renderer or not
the only way i can think of solving this is having the custom world renderer bake blended textures at map load, effectively making a new texture per chunk

the old world geometry still leaks in the debug view so it looks like hashes are unstable but they are, gotta fix that

i dont think nvidia auto hdr or even windowa auto hdr work
iirc i tried before
remix has an internal HDR pipeline so its possible for them to support it
fallow mesa
remix has an internal HDR pipeline so its possible for them to support it
reshade also has a way of opening it
but I can't find it in remix
how did you get reshade to work with remix
subtle bison
how did you get reshade to work with remix
on x32, you run the reshade installer and select GarrysMod/bin/.trex/NvRemixBridge.exe and set it to vulkan
for x64, you run the reshade installer and select GarrysMod/bin/win64/gmod.exe and set it to vulkan
x32 does not have working input so you need a game controller to control reshade
x64 works fine
subtle bison
yeah but i did it for x32 far longer
it sucks to use with a controller but it helps to preconfigure your preset before adding it to remix
fallow mesa
reshade dx9 or dx11?
subtle bison
vulkan, i said above

does this only happen with HDR being on?
since its happening on both installs, maybe try updating your drivers?
reshade shouldnt be causing any deadlocks

waiting patiently for another release i am STILL too lazy to compile myself
subtle bison
subtle bison
looks like custom world renderer stuff, is this x64?
fallow mesa
yes
subtle bison
iirc flatgrass needs either a 1024 or 2048 chunk size
set it to that and reload the map
ok well at least in the newer ver it seems to work fine at high levels
i can send the individual lua since you already have x64
replace the old one with this one, i think with the 1st release its named something else
show me a screenshot of this directory
subtle bison
yeah a couple of maps work fine with it
removes any engine bottlenecks so you're getting the best performance
fallow mesa
Is there a way to fix the sun flicker?
subtle bison
yeah, its because of frustrum culling, xenthio has a basic patch that fixes some of the issues, but not fully
i think it fixed map lights for me
ill send the dlls
replace the engine and client in GarrysMod/bin/win64 and see if it fixes it
fallow mesa

so it worked?

yeah the patchset is incomplete, no idea when it will get finished
fallow mesa
Edit, no different
onyx ridge
removes any engine bottlenecks so you're getting the best performance
what about with a bajillion objects rendering
🥺
fallow mesa
subtle bison
yes that is frustrum culling
i hava lua addon that modifies render bounds that completely fixes it, but it destroys performance
onyx ridge
so i guess an idea gary moge would be with x64 remix and volt
subtle bison
volt works
onyx ridge
subtle bison
it doesnt touch rendering so yea
fallow mesa
Gwater2 not🥲
subtle bison
yeah that wont work unless they explicity add support to remix
because of the d3d11 container they use

so that a possibility or what

maybe its jut the terrain quality thats throwing me off
subtle bison
probably because none of the textures cohesively mix with each other
they have their own stylings that clash, not to mention the scale looks off for each texture
subtle bison
yeah that's weird for PBR maps
earnest yew
or just shinyness
subtle bison
even with AI generated or PBR maps downloaded off the internet, they should always be adjusted in something like substance or blender so they actually look correct

so i cant download any old source game version beyond 2013? (steam pipe update)....
I haven't tried it myself but in theory you should be able to take the old builds and run them through Source SDK (insert year) at least thats how it would work in my head
subtle bison
since CEF is currently broken in x64, i re-implemented the save menu in vgui
its barebones but it works
i want to do the same thing for dupes but that's probably more difficult
much better with thumbnails
honestly, with a few more adjustments, i prefer this over the CEF version
stable scarab

how
crystal storm
how
Like I said haven't tried it myself but Insurgency launches the same sort of way (granted its a mod) and the copy I have was prior to the steam pipe update but something setup along the lines of the screenshots is probably what would work. Source SDK with the Insurgency folder inside of it and its corresponding gameinfo.txt. There is probably a way to just place the old HL2 builds inside Source SDK and run it the same way, how you would actually do it I have no idea but i'm pretty sure its possible
drifting hinge
woah yall talking about insurgency remix?
subtle bison
@keen rivet kind of a necessary evil, but I added back the lua frustrum addon since static prop culling is still pretty severe, though I did add user facing options so it can at least be toggled easily
it also only runs once at map load and can be manually reloaded at any time

alpha destroys fps because the gpu has to do way more work it has to calculate all the overlapping layers and figure out how they blend together and in path tracing it gets even worse because every time a ray hits something transparent it has to split into more rays and trace all of those too which makes everything way slower
etc etc
willow fog
Pretty sure rays don't spilt
They just have to test to see if they can pass and that test is a bit expensive. And it stacks up when you have thousands of rays passing through multiple layers of transparent geo
