[subtle bison]

i gotta reimplement everything

ill clarify a bit more. could be days, weeks, months, years

🫠

[fallow mesa]

why doesn't the mirror look clear?

on other rtx.conf

[raw edge]

[half viper]

holy cpu bottleneck

"Intel i3-4160"

[raw edge]

I am planning on saving some money for a CPU upgrade since I only got my GPU from a sale on shopee I think?

[half viper]

i wish you good luck

im still suprised you got 60 fps tho
considering how weak your cpu is

[raw edge]

well it kinda depends on the map I'm on I guess?

[onyx ridge]

i'm lucky to get like, 20 with my laptop

i don't think a 4050 is up to it very well

[fallow mesa]

why does the texture in some maps change all the time?

[compact blaze]

Unstable hash maybe?

Maybe it’s smth to do with addons enabled?

[subtle bison]

hmm maybe its trying to blend two textures together

set both to decal textures and see if they merge cleanly

I've never seen that before though

[subtle bison]

do this ^

[fallow mesa]

like it's going to be the same textures

[fallow mesa]

I'll give it a try

oh I'm trun off view frustrum

and it's normal

[subtle bison]

hu how does the view frustrum addon mess it up

what maps are these

[fallow mesa]

I solved it. It's because I've set the render bounds size too low

[subtle bison]

256 should work fine, what did you set it to?

[fallow mesa]

5500

[subtle bison]

rip fps

[fallow mesa]

I set it up for 5500 because some of the maps did not display props

[fallow mesa]

not bad 😆

[subtle bison]

huh??

props stop showing up?

something is broken

👀

[fallow mesa]

yes

[subtle bison]

im gonna have to look at that when i can

[subtle bison]

[fallow mesa]

Is it uh ..normal?

[compact blaze]

how did u get sunlight working?

[fallow mesa]

I used default map sunlight

[compact blaze]

ah ok ty

[subtle bison]

ye, we're forcing visibility for static props, the higher the value, the more gets rendered around you

still weird static/physics props are being culled in front of you

that is not supposed to be happening lmao

ill look into it

[fallow mesa]

so I had to fix it by setting it up until everything was fully displayed

[subtle bison]

what does that mean

[fallow mesa]

I fixed it this way

[subtle bison]

ye but it shouldnt be happening at 256

[fallow mesa]

at first I thought it was normal

[subtle bison]

im working on refactoring the view frustrum addon to be entirely dynamic so there wont be any settings to change anymore

[fallow mesa]

It's a good idea because it's easy on the user

[subtle bison]

yeah i never intended to keep the settings exposed to the user

the ideal place is for everything to work ootb

[compact blaze]

I feel like there should still be an option to manually change it

[subtle bison]

sure i can still add that as some kind of override

[compact blaze]

ye ye

[steel lark]

maybe instead of ingame add it as a file so it doesn't cram the options tab

or just put everything into a single category?

[subtle bison]

i can keep it as a cvar, but i dont think they take that much space in the options menu. I might integrate all of them in one menu at one point

[livid rapids]

I was thinking we should have a first time boot thing with a guide on how to fix detail textures and mirrors, water fix, $color2 vmt editing and all that stuff, maybe bind it automatically so you can pull it up ingame at any time

People tend to not read READMEs so we should just shove it in their face at first launch

[subtle bison]

ill make it a one-time pop-up. maybe put in a Acknowledge button thats hard to find unless you read the instructions

[subtle bison]

bruh

the HDRIs even work on linux/AMD (PS5 APU)

do i really need to reimplement the whole thing if it works on unsupported hardware and a unsupported OS?

im convinced its a setup issue at this point

[fallow mesa]

[subtle bison]

it was because i wasnt keeping the original render bounds for untouched meshes

ill have this fixed soon

[fallow mesa]

I'm surprised HDRI works

[subtle bison]

it confirms for me whatever's breaking it for you and burrito is something out of my control

i might still keep working on the reimplementation with the custom rendering and stuff, but i dont know if it's worth the payoff at this point lol

maybe someone can weigh this on me differently

idfk

@fallow mesa you dont have to do this but, if you have a spare pc, try doing a clean install of windows. Only install steam and garrysmod rtx, no other software

see if its still broken for you

if it ends up working, note any software you install after the fact, it would help a lot if I knew what the cause was lmao

[fallow mesa]

I'll try to reinstall windows later

[steel lark]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3243908086

reposting cause uh

éh idk

[turbid barn]

any ways to fix water?

[subtle bison]

water looks fine? lol

[steel lark]

lmao

[turbid barn]

it's noisy and different from other screenshots/videos i saw

For example

(and mine)

[subtle bison]

you have the same water as everyone else, the noise is just from the denoiser

its not a gmod issue

[turbid barn]

what about this video?

[subtle bison]

looks like you're using older addons?

are you on x32 or x64?

[turbid barn]

x32

[subtle bison]

the noise could be coming from the HDRI

the emissions are pretty expensive and remix's denoiser probably doesnt like it

[steel lark]

you should probably switch

[subtle bison]

i dont think x64 will magically fix it

if it does, its down to the rtx.conf

[turbid barn]

Noise is even without HDRI

[steel lark]

that doesn't seem to happen on mine

so maybe it works with the newer rtx.conf

[subtle bison]

guess a fresh x64 install is worth a try

guide is pinned

[turbid barn]

x64 works fine with RTX?

[subtle bison]

yea but it took a bit to get there

[steel lark]

it works fine and soon it will be much better than 32

well i assume it's soon

[subtle bison]

what are we missing that x32 has?

[steel lark]

no i said it will be much better than 32 bits soon

when you release the lithium stuff

[subtle bison]

its already out

[steel lark]

bruh

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/releases/tag/gmrtx64_0.3.1

[steel lark]

i think i need to check here more regularly then loll

[subtle bison]

hopefully the 0.4 release will add some more perf and polish

im still working on some stuff but it should be good

[steel lark]

what is CEF?

[subtle bison]

chrome embedded framework

gmod uses it for its GUI

it was broken before

but it works now

so you can use media players and stuff

[steel lark]

ah so i can download the with CEF and there won't be any issues right?

[subtle bison]

CEF has some issues with some maps, its something with the binary patch, if you dont want to deal with those bugs i recommend sticking to noCEF

blueamulet would have to investigate it, im not much of a reverse engineer

[steel lark]

issues like making the map rasterized inside and on the void path traced?

cause i was having that issue with a map earlier

[subtle bison]

yea CEF causes maps to be rasterized

were you on 0.3 before?

[steel lark]

yeah

[subtle bison]

yea noCEF will fix it

[steel lark]

atleast i think

[subtle bison]

but you lose the normal gmod ui so expect some missing features

[steel lark]

noCEF is the lua menu?

[subtle bison]

nah its literally just downgraded engine patches

that's why its a seperate download

[steel lark]

oh ok i don't think i need to use media player anyway

i thought i would have to go back to the lua menu tho

[subtle bison]

yea

[steel lark]

so ok i'll use the noCEF for now

did the hdri have any updates?

[subtle bison]

nah its the same

[steel lark]

and the waterfix?

[subtle bison]

havent gotten to it

definitely a goal for 0.4

send me the map names that are broken so i can fix them

also screenshots

[steel lark]

oh ok

i'll go hunting for them

wait no i got two that i already know

[subtle bison]

if you can, make a issue on the github page

[turbid barn]

Does GmodRTX has smth like Memory leak? Because every time i switch DLSS mode or graphics settings im getting less FPS until i restart the game

[subtle bison]

it will be easier to track for me

[subtle bison]

iirc thats normal for remix in general

but addons like ARC9 and other weapons precache a lot of textures which eat vram

[steel lark]

honestly just don't mess around too much lmao

i used to mess with the settings a lot but one day it crashed my computer cause it was using all the vram in my 12gb 3060

[steel lark]

can you replace or even add more hdri's to the mod?

[subtle bison]

im working on a side-project that will let you replace them

its gonna be a seperate app tho

[steel lark]

but adding would only be with the toolkit right?

[subtle bison]

nah you can change them without the toolkit

its the actual manual conversion process which is a pain

[turbid barn]

And another question. Is it possible to switch DLSS Override to transformer? is it worth it?

or only via DLSS Swapper?

[steel lark]

do i include workshop links?

[subtle bison]

that would help yea

[subtle bison]

#offtopic-game-discussion message

gmod x64 has its own quirks

so i would recommend the nvidia app if possible

i havent tried it but i assume it works and its far easier than kim's method

[potent agate]

I tried it and it'll just reset back to "Support not detected" after a second or two

so I don't think it works

does this for every change

[drifting hinge]

CR... whats happening in the world of rtx remix

[turbid barn]

i've just noticed it

i've used DLSS Swapper before for 32bit

i've didnt noticed anything in GMOD

but in Witcher 3 i've got better quality without performance loss

hm

for some reason this setting doesn't work

and my camera still moving with coursor over Remix menu

[fallow mesa]

64 bit?

[turbid barn]

Yes.

[fallow mesa]

It's normal for 64 bits because it doesn't use the bridge

I have to press ESC every time to control it

[turbid barn]

nvm

fixed

[subtle bison]

a known issue, we dont have engine patches to disable culling completely so im still improvising on a way to fix it

other than modifying render bounds

[fallow mesa]

[subtle bison]

💀

well goodbye render bounds

EFL_FORCE_CHECK_TRANSMIT this engine flag bypasses PVS culling

this is WAY more efficient

[steel lark]

too much foliage ☠️

funny that we have to use the ☠️ instead of the 💀 because 💀 changed meaning completely

[steel lark]

at least i do

[subtle bison]

its completely accessable in lua

im so glad to get rid of render bounds shit

fuck

im so happy rn

[steel lark]

is that better fps than before?

[subtle bison]

its about the same as render bounds but its much more consistent

[fallow mesa]

release

[subtle bison]

and scales correctly on bigger maps

ok nvm

this doesnt work

it was placebo

😭

[steel lark]

LMAO

rip

[fallow mesa]

[subtle bison]

im gonna kill this engine

with my bare hands

back to render bounds

🥹

[steel lark]

did you fix it?

[potent agate]

nope

still does that

[steel lark]

weird

[subtle bison]

i've reached the conclusion that statically setting the bounds for everything without anything else is the fastest method

fps gets a bit low (around x32 perf) on large maps

but hey everything renders correctly

[half viper]

@subtle bison rubat is updating gmod

[subtle bison]

is this a warning

[half viper]

https://discord.gg/gmod

Look in the Garry's mod commits

[drifting hinge]

the hostage situation: I'M GOING TO UPDATE GMOD SOON

[half viper]

@modern quest am i allowed to post invites?

[drifting hinge]

why is that a problem though

[half viper]

Hashes....

[drifting hinge]

oh boy

not again pretty please

[subtle bison]

why is their commit page broken

ok nvm it works now

[modern quest]

yup

[quiet scroll]

https://tenor.com/view/ahs-omg-shocked-crying-gif-10276935

god please not again

my shayla

Oh didn't Sterlock say he got someone from facepunch in here to possibly work on FF for gmod rtx? Have we heard anything on that lately

[subtle bison]

nah heard nothing

btw i built a replacement for light updaters 🙂

it integrates with the view frustrum code so they play nice now

the sun actually renders everywhere just like x32

[quiet scroll]

YEAHHHHHHH

nice work nice work

[subtle bison]

i should probably start porting over the rtx remix fixes workshop stuff to our addons folder and remove the workshop addon

aww yea stupid stable

its a also a lot simpler than the rtx light updaters so there is no overhead
also no need to adjust anything

[quiet scroll]

we are so back chat

[subtle bison]

cs_militia finally rendering correctly

used to have issues with geometry and lights

this map heavily uses displacements so those still cull unfortunately

it can be fixed but its gonna be a bit annoying lol

[subtle bison]

remix pls 🥹

[fallow mesa]

I saw the video that was freezing

[subtle bison]

?

[subtle bison]

can ios devices not play h265?

its probably a bug with discord mobile

[fallow mesa]

oh It's normal in Android

🥲

[hushed trail]

Unfortunately not

[onyx ridge]

ohhh that explains why i can't watch your videos half the time

i use vesktop and it won't play your videos either

[subtle bison]

hu im using vesktop and they play fine

[onyx ridge]

uhhh i blame linux then

(even though i should in fact be able to decode h265 i am pretty sure i can straight up encode it)

[subtle bison]

prob a bug on electron

[onyx ridge]

i hate electron i hate electron i hate electron i hate electron i hate electron i hate electron

[jade edge]

Lighting outside is so freaking photorealistic, its pretty much notsohigh-res textures that breaks illusion

[tame crane]

my 3050 is on life support

it can run cs2 good but not rtx remix

hell yeah

[zenith marlin]

yoo, someone who knows the tools should try this map https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3417387329

crazy vibes potential

[quiet scroll]

I 10000000000% am doing this map next holy shit

a good mall map

[zenith marlin]

I LOVE MALLS !

thank you comrade . i await eagerly

[subtle bison]

ok so instead of removing xenthios already good light updating solution, i refactored it a bunch and integrated my light changes. Soon we wont need the workshop version of rtx remix fixes anymore

[subtle bison]

i live somewhat nearby this mall

this is gonna be insane

👻

[subtle bison]

its a little outdated but uhh 👁️ https://github.com/2010kohtep/StdPatch

someone raised the vert limit to something stupid high

oh this is for studiomdl

it prob doesnt work on the basegame?

[quiet leaf]

lowkeyyyy... i only know that mall from the oldest view

and that it's real ofc

[drifting hinge]

It's almost like the rolling giant is in that map as a prop

[quiet leaf]

yeah

its wild

[keen rivet]

what are your changes specifically?

[subtle bison]

each light updater has its own id and type now

i needed a way to identify a rtx_lightupdater attached to a light_enviornment so i could modify the render bounds for it

to prevent the sun from ever culling

its much faster than modifying the render bounds for all light updaters

[half viper]

cant you just create a directional light using the api?

[subtle bison]

no because its stupid unstable rn lol

i have a race condition somewhere and i haven't been able to find it

ill fix it eventually but i think it would take more time than fixing other stuff in the lua realm

[fallow mesa]

remix api light log

[subtle bison]

yea i always get those before a crash. the issue is that either the module or lua addon fall out of sync with each other

sometimes those errors dont show up and everything works fine for that game session

visual studio debugging hasnt gotten me anywhere as the crash is happening on the engine and not the module

[fallow mesa]

oh I almost forgot to install windows

[subtle bison]

im going to bed, lmk how it goes

[fallow mesa]

clean windows

@subtle bison

[quiet scroll]

Don't you have to spawn in the skybox first?

[fallow mesa]

I think it'll spawn when joining the map

[quiet scroll]

try enabling noclip and go up into the sky a little bit, sometimes the height i'm at in the map spawns/despawns the skybox

[quiet scroll]

rats 😦

[fallow mesa]

let it go 🕊

[livid rapids]

think I just found the worst case of RR fuckery yet

DLAA helps a bit

[raw edge]

should I try to increase it?

[livid rapids]

uhm what the hell

It's on quality but it's upscaling like performance?

yeah it ain't much better on quality

[lapis delta]

is it transformer model?

[livid rapids]

whatever, pistol pack and blueprints coming

[livid rapids]

It was, but on dlss performance

Which for some reason was being enforced

[livid rapids]

This is cnn quality

[raw edge]

I tried 8GB still same error, am I screwed?

[keen rivet]

OH YIKES thats bad

it just kills the roughness map

[willow fog]

You sure you got your metal maps correct?

They look plastic

[livid rapids]

my metallic maps have always been binary, 0 or 1

[livid rapids]

but you're right, I've noticed it too, some things do look metallic while some (like that plastic looking m19) don't

[willow fog]

why

[livid rapids]

Rule of thumb is something is metallic or it is not

Simple as

[willow fog]

incorrect

The coat of grime/rust on top of a metallic surface requires a non binary value to look right

Not to mention that there are metal values in the textures and you can just import them

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1028600697463263314/1291305980260384799/hl2_chusKJlf6x.mp4?ex=679dd1e8&is=679c8068&hm=b90620bc79e9f011a5b795dfaafe500d96608a5c418750cbeb75de321cc06044&

Like in mine

Ignore the broken normal maps lol

[livid rapids]

Reminder that I port 1:1 spec/gloss to metal/rough

No touchups unless necessary

So maybe I do need to touch it up...

I remember doing the deagle with the phong vtf (!!!!) but it looked very metallic

maybe actually using $color2 will improve some things

[willow fog]

The metal maps are right there in the textures

[livid rapids]

I know!!!!

[willow fog]

Then import them in remix!!!!!

[livid rapids]

Are you blind

[willow fog]

So why do they look like p[lastic????

[livid rapids]

non metallic vs metallic

Looks light-absorbing to me

[willow fog]

uh

interesting

What about the deagle?

Different models but

That still ain't right

Might be the same model with different grip

idk

[willow fog]

this is beyond me

[livid rapids]

I guess it's more subtle on mine since you probably have a less rough texture

[willow fog]

No, reoughness shouldn't make a difference on how light is reflected

I suppose

The roughness map is set to the wrong color space

Gamma issue

whatever it is. I forget

[livid rapids]

I've always exported using linear colorspace

sRGB did not make any difference

[willow fog]

And I'm guessing when ingesting, you select the correct texture type?

[willow fog]

It does. For me the roughness maps were suuuuper shiny

Like chrome

Found a cleaner screenshot real quick

[willow fog]

Think I might have found your problem

It does make a difference. A big one. This is the roughness map. Not the metal. Normals disconnected because reason

[steel lark]

how did you get DLAA working? on the nvidia app it just keeps going back to no support detected

[willow fog]

by selecting full res

[steel lark]

wdym?

[steel lark]

ooh i think i should have updated remix before saying anything lol oops

[willow fog]

This setting has been in remix for over an year

[steel lark]

oh

[willow fog]

Probably since launch, but I can't bo so sure

[steel lark]

now i see it

i'll try

[livid rapids]

just used levels

[willow fog]

Here's what I'm doing

Nothing

I'm converting the textures as they are intended to be

And importing them in toolkit

Whatever you're doing makes the guns look like plastic toys

[livid rapids]

cs and nog

separated via gameimageutil, glossiness map inverted

ingested

placed

Nothing else to it

[willow fog]

goofy

[subtle bison]

i think im also gonna try a windows reinstall at this point lol

what specific windows 11 build is it?

[subtle bison]

hiding the render bounds settings by default now

oops uploaded the pic twice

these defaults seem to be good to me, all lights are stable
distant static models will cull but i havent ran into many maps that do this

[subtle bison]

void maps my wretched

they give my lua optimizations hell

[steel lark]

lmao

they actually are running pretty well

[subtle bison]

trust me i use them all of the time to stress test anything im working on

[steel lark]

brazilians!!! 🇧🇷

this map is like smaller

so it runs 60 fps constantly

still pretty big

[subtle bison]

voidplaces is a easy way to kill fps 🙂

its the reason why i reverted statically setting render bounds

[subtle bison]

we now handle displacements with the custom world renderer, they're a bit buggy so i've scaled them down and used a random dev texture so I can make them a shadow mask in remix.
It works pretty well in maps that use a lot of displacements like caves

they have to sit below engine displacements as we cant turn those off

[willow fog]

What am I looking for?

[subtle bison]

the lack of light leaking

[willow fog]

ah

yep. Can confirm

[fallow mesa]

24h2

[drifting hinge]

the sun... is...

[subtle bison]

@willow fog are u also on 24h2

i verified the HDRI addon works on a fucking PS5 running linux

[willow fog]

probably

[subtle bison]

winver pls

gaming rn

[subtle bison]

simple launcher

[glad garnet]

I did everything in the tutorial but when I load into any map it fully functions for 1 second before it starts eternally stuttering and then freezes

[subtle bison]

x64 or x32

[glad garnet]

x32

[subtle bison]

its probably a bridge crash

try x64

the guide is pinned

[glad garnet]

sure

It works but my mouse kinda flashes

also did you find a fix to explosions crashing the game?

[subtle bison]

ye they dont crash on x64, but a lot of particles dont render

[subtle bison]

its a known bug with remix, the bridge handles input for remix normally, but it doesnt exist for x64 lol

i got used it to it pretty quickly, though i might have to start looking at making a custom remix build

[glad garnet]

okay

[subtle bison]

if you wanna look at all of the current issues, they're in that readme

[glad garnet]

Also how can I use octotex?

[subtle bison]

octotex has been dead for a long while, i got no idea

[glad garnet]

So is there an alternative?

[subtle bison]

probably this?

[quiet scroll]

Nice work CR! I think I'll archive my 32bit version and recommend they go to your 64bit as it's much more stable/doesn't require the bridge lol. I'll keep it up to date, but as it looks going 64bit is a no brainer haha

[modern quest]

you guys should make a nice new screenshot for the thread

strelok can replace it

[subtle bison]

for sure, maybe skurtyyskirts can cook up something 🔥

[quiet scroll]

LOL lemme see if I can find a pretty screenshot of construct, that's a good general map 🙂

rats i cleared my construct screnshots, but this one's pretty pretty

[glad garnet]

Alr I got an usda with some pbr textures how can I import it into the game?

[subtle bison]

the remix tutorial video i linked should show you

wow first x64 crash from the engine

though the map i was playing on was kinda pushing source a bit hard lol

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2979123330

looks super pretty in remix though

[drifting hinge]

Titanfall 2

(heavily modified)

[fallow mesa]

why 0.4 low fps?

[subtle bison]

wdym, it should be faster than 0.3.1

[subtle bison]

i see you're using DLSS 4

is that gm_facade?

[fallow mesa]

yes

[subtle bison]

i think its just the map lol

looking in that exact same spot is where the whole map is rendering at once

i dont think i can do much to optimize large open ones like this lol

[fallow mesa]

I'm just surprised because 0.3 fps is higher

[subtle bison]

in that exact same spot?

hmmm

it could be because we're rendering the sun now

also we're rendering displacements twice now to fix culling issues

[onyx ridge]

oh yeah i assume infmap based things still don't work with x64

[subtle bison]

infmap works fine

just not the base map

[onyx ridge]

oh???

i thought the way it handled rendering didn't work with remix

[subtle bison]

idk i was surprised too lmao

[onyx ridge]

huh
neat

[subtle bison]

gta vice city map

[fallow mesa]

but the overall rendering improved in 0.4

[subtle bison]

culling is a bit strange, also props dont render

there is some kind of render order issue

[onyx ridge]

would not surprise me

i watched the devlog videos like a year ago i definitely know and remember how it works

[subtle bison]

i think its a little more broken since the last time i checked

im gonna blame all of the lua shit we're doing but eh its a miracle it works at all

game is PISSED

good thing it does not in fact, crash

🤓

[onyx ridge]

game did not crash a whole x1774 times

also i'm curious, how does portal rtx handle portals

[subtle bison]

magic voodoo shit

even more for p2rtx

cuz xoxor4d is a genius

[onyx ridge]

does it like throw rays through the portal and out where it's supposed to or does it keep them in a straight line and just uses however valve handles rendering stuff through portals

that probably seems like nonsense to understand i apologise i'm bad at explaining things

[subtle bison]

yea i wouldnt know

im assuming its something along the lines of the former

[quiet scroll]

can you portal-ify rays using the remix api

[fallow mesa]

inf map

[onyx ridge]

[subtle bison]

yea the base map doesnt work

others kinda do

[onyx ridge]

actually yeah i'm assuming seamless portals and that don't work

[subtle bison]

new bug yipeee

the displacement stuff is for whatever reason blocking lighting

seems to just affect gm_construct_remastered

oh wait nvm its the 3d skybox blocking the sun

lmao

[subtle bison]

do you have the addon base installed?

ill see if it works for me

[fallow mesa]

yes

[subtle bison]

💀

ok so i guess you need a fast pc and also some patience

idk i havent tried it yet still

oh man this is gonna be a while

[fallow mesa]

[subtle bison]

yea it kinda works

oh shit props render on this one

👁️

[quiet scroll]

I wonder what makes windows look so yucky on 64bit

[subtle bison]

what map is this

[fallow mesa]

why is my sky flicker

[subtle bison]

because infmap does hacky stuff

[quiet scroll]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3380651069

[subtle bison]

hell source aint meant to do stuff like this

[subtle bison]

it could be the displacement thing i was talking abobut

ill send a older ver, let me know if it fixes it

[glad garnet]

Is there a gmod pbr texture pack?

[subtle bison]

for like the stock assets?

[glad garnet]

Yeah

[subtle bison]

nope

[glad garnet]

oh

is there a hl2 one that could be applied to gmod?

[subtle bison]

skurtyy made one a while back but it wouldnt work now

gmod has different hashes than other source games

[glad garnet]

Oh alr

so I have to process textures myself, right?

[subtle bison]

yea pretty much. would be nice if we got a team to manually make PBR assets for the base stuff

@quiet scroll put it here

damn this infmap is HUGE

[fallow mesa]

this map water doesn't work

[subtle bison]

is that a css map?

[fallow mesa]

yes

[subtle bison]

i havent fixed water yet in 0.4 btw, i need a good list of broken maps before i start tackling it

[quiet scroll]

fiddle sticks, negative

[subtle bison]

hu im still seeing it

the 2nd layer of displacements

did i send the wrong file

[subtle bison]

the dev texture in the reflection

try this

make sure it replaces the old one

[quiet scroll]

ohhhhh wait, i put it in autorun instead of client lol

[subtle bison]

minecraft construct is a certified vibe

[quiet scroll]

fiddle sticks, I wonder what it's doing

[subtle bison]

oh yea there is "technically" nothing wrong

since we're not forcing everything to render, reflections are gonna look pretty bad

unless you mean the window itself just being black-ish

i can add some kind of override to make everything render but we'll back to x32 perf. also i still need a way to re-render displacements correctly so they dont get culled

[subtle bison]

hu

[fallow mesa]

If there's no other side to the glass

[quiet scroll]

yeah kind of how there's like a black shadow over stuffed behind the windows. I wouldn't mind the performance hit to 32, but maybe just as like an ultra preset?

wait whaaaaaat, are those domes different?

[subtle bison]

well the whole black window and glass thing shouldnt be something on the gmod side

i got no idea whats going on there

[subtle bison]

what is the window tagged as? nothing?"

ill try a capture of that map and set a glass material

[fallow mesa]

I solved it in toolkit

[subtle bison]

waait

[quiet scroll]

yeah nothing, i made it transparent in the toolkit

[quiet scroll]

how?

[subtle bison]

turn this on

does the window fix itself

👁️

better screenshot

[quiet scroll]

fiddle sticks lol, i wonder if it's a double-sided thing with remix in the toolkit, gezerz seems to have found the issue

[subtle bison]

im relieved its not because of double world rendering

(i think)

[subtle bison]

ye thin-walled causes that

do like 0.1

hu

why does my world rendering get culled

👀

nvm its because of displacements

god i hate them so much

[quiet scroll]

Ahhhh gotcha, I wonder why it looked different from 32bit, I'll adjust to the specular

[subtle bison]

hmm the game version shouldnt interfere with the toolkit stuff

could be something in the rtx.conf i provide?

ye 0.1 thin-walled looks fine

[fallow mesa]

that's right

[quiet scroll]

Oh sweet, thanks y'all Funkis or whatever this maps called should be done today, i want this shit off my computer I think it's pretty good, i really like the lighting adjustments in the house

[subtle bison]

excited to try it

mirror

[fallow mesa]

I want the remix to have the depth of field as well

[subtle bison]

who knows when that's gonna happen

reshade used to be able to grab a depth buffer, but a dxvk-remix update at sometime broke it

[onyx ridge]

the hl2 remade assets in question

(yeah they don't cover everything)

[subtle bison]

too bad the hashes wont match lol

we'd have to manually ingest them

[quiet scroll]

the hashes would be different

[onyx ridge]

i mean at one point i was being productive

[subtle bison]

looks like psuedoplayer is working again?

[quiet scroll]

Butttttt there could be a workaround. I could make a script that compares the hl2 captures folder to the gmod captures folder and have the script rename the matched capture by photo to the gmod ones

[lapis delta]

https://tenor.com/view/sewerslvt-jvnko-junko-dancing-anime-gif-21912628

[fallow mesa]

make the picture match ?

[subtle bison]

yea, captured textures are named by their hash

he could make a script that compares images with each other, if they're a match, you could then rename the replacements based on the new hash

[fallow mesa]

interesting

what?

[subtle bison]

oh thats definitely not intentional lol

definitely something i did 😋

i think its some leftover i forgot to remove when messing with light updaters

[subtle bison]

fuck

[fallow mesa]

👀

[subtle bison]

fixed it

[lapis delta]

https://tenor.com/view/gem-alarm-gem-gemson-gapejak-wholesome-soyjak-gif-27193685

[subtle bison]

i think someone else mentioned this

but wow the fps is much better on the studio driver (in gpu limited scenarios)

40fps on DLSS quality on a 2080 what the hell

[drifting hinge]

Rubat
the man who makes gmod worse every day

[jade edge]

Ahh....Construct from old pre G13 days

Goddamnit...still remember a lot of days played in Gmod 10, as i didn't had money for GMOD at the time, and later GMOD 13 (also non licensed)...what a days...

(I bought GMOD only an year after my steam account creation, in 2017)

[half viper]

@lucid parcel idk if this would be counted as a bug or not

But it really needs to be looked into

[subtle bison]

same, except i only ever had 10 before going straight to 13 in like 2013

i still wish i had that non-licensed ver of gmod, lots of nostalgia

[lucid parcel]

Does the texture have some kinda of diamond grip normal mapping or something? I know grinding that pattern into gun grips is common, so figure it's worth checking

Not sure which of those images is RR

[subtle bison]

try x64, the guide is pinned

[half viper]

Left is RR, seems like RR smoothed the normal maps too much

@livid rapids could you help a bit?

[lucid parcel]

Ah, so the diamond pattern is actually desired, and RR smoothed it out too much?

[half viper]

Yes

[livid rapids]

Yeah it's a diamond pattern, even on RR dlss quality it gets smoothed out

[lucid parcel]

Has anyone posted the textures for that?

[livid rapids]

Haven't uploaded them yet

[lucid parcel]

It'd probably be best to make a github bug with all of this, so we can just point the RR team at the failure case. Likely to get lost in the noise if I just raise it to them directly

[lucid parcel]

This is with the public RR build right, not the dll from cyberpunk?

[livid rapids]

Both produce the same result, on transformer and cnn

@willow fog You were right, but not exactly. This is the same m19 I showed earlier. 64bit's doing some strange shit to metallic textures

now it looks like it should

look how it tints the slide now

[subtle bison]

it would have to be something in my rtx.conf

check the material overrides in the runtime

unless remix just behaves differently without the bridge

nothing in the actual game should be messing with this

[livid rapids]

It definitely would be that if possible, I'm using skurty's conf stripped of everything except texture marking

[raw edge]

Sorry for the late reply but, thank you will try

[livid rapids]

Thing is even on the toolkit these textures didn't look like this

[subtle bison]

its probably these

[livid rapids]

Well there it is

[subtle bison]

best to reset them to 0

should then be representative of what the toolkit shows

[livid rapids]

this is default

[subtle bison]

oh

[livid rapids]

0 would just null the textures

0 vs 1

so basically metallic or not

[livid rapids]

Also peep the translucent transmission, probably what skurty was talking about with the windows

Wonder if pbr overrides get captured? and that ends up making the toolkit textures not line up with the default settings

[subtle bison]

i dont think they do?

when i used to do a lot of replacements in x32, i dont ever remember running into that

unless i specifically loaded the mod layer in the toolkit in another project

[livid rapids]

on toolkit

[steel lark]

Steam seeing that i have verified my gmod's files for the second time today only to redownload the garry's mod entirely

[subtle bison]

those are supposed to be hidden in the rtx.conf i ship. But im probably gonna get rid of displacement handling entirely rn

its caused more issues than help

[steel lark]

the default sun works now right?

[subtle bison]

yea

[steel lark]

yay

[subtle bison]

might wanna wait on downloading 0.4

im gonna push 0.4.1 rq

[steel lark]

bruh

[subtle bison]

its gonna like like 10 mins

im reverting 1 file lol

[steel lark]

can i replace 0.4?

[subtle bison]

ye its always the full ver

[steel lark]

just replace all files and just hope it works?

[subtle bison]

yea

[steel lark]

ok np

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/releases/tag/gmrtx64_0.4.1

[subtle bison]

yes its the infamous light updater cube 👻

[fallow mesa]

can I ignore the texture?

[subtle bison]

yeah but then any other plastic mesh also gets hidden with it

ill fix it eventually but im cooked for today

[fallow mesa]

ok

0.4.1 FPS is back again

[subtle bison]

all i did was disable displacements lmao

they shouldnt have killed fps that hard

i have a far weaker gpu so i guess i wouldnt have noticed it

[willow fog]

Well, got damn

Finally lol

[steel lark]

@subtle bison why did you make the rtx remix light instead of just using the regular lights?

i can't even place one anymore it instantly crashes lmao

[subtle bison]

because engine limits. the goal is replace all source engine lighting with API lights as we can have as many as we want without any performance implications

[subtle bison]

yes its a known issue, its mentioned on the readme

[steel lark]

makes sense

maps crashing on load again yipeee

lets see what rubat broke now

reapplying the compat mod works fine it seems

in other news

it seems i cannot enjoy this new PBR makeover

😭

@quiet scroll what did you use to upscale with? some of this stuff looks amazing

[drifting hinge]

creepy

[subtle bison]

DLSS 3 is killing the detail but i love this specular

🤤

[quiet scroll]

PBRFusion

[subtle bison]

im gonna have to wait another decade before being able to get a nicer GPU to enjoy this

amazing work 🔥

[quiet scroll]

A cool feature the toolkit could have is a meter on how performance is across gpus

[subtle bison]

yeah my 2080 wants to die rn lmao

[fallow mesa]

why is my toolgun screen black?

[subtle bison]

most likely not working render targets

it works sometimes for me, and sometimes it doesnt

[fallow mesa]

do you have any way to reset setting add-ons in the workshop?

I broke my lithium

[subtle bison]

grab the config.vdf and server.vdf in gmrtx(ver)/garrysmod/cfg/ and replace your old ones with those

[steel lark]

are the css and hl2 episode bprs updated to gmod.exe?

especially css

https://www.moddb.com/mods/skurtyys-counter-strike-source-rtx-pbr-assets/downloads/skurtyys-counter-strike-source-rtx-pbr-assets

[subtle bison]

nah i dont think skurtyy has looked into it yet

[steel lark]

i'm going to remix my grandma's house

lmao

[loud mural]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/on-demand/session/gtcspring23-s51881/

Go to 45:50

[steel lark]

could it be done with immersive portals in garry's mod?

[half viper]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3419019710

[subtle bison]

lmao

[subtle bison]

ofc the eyes work

im gonna assume he has no eye bones or whatever lmao

[half viper]

add normals to his face

or extract it

whatever

I NEED

dr house

[subtle bison]

so you want AI generated normals lmao

i dont think this model comes with any

[half viper]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-house-house-gif-11916099077674228393

[subtle bison]

this model is so absurd lmao i love it

[loud mural]

Yes, very likely although I was unable to find which mod your talking about, is it paid or something? It could be done with any mod that adds portals to gmod, personally I'd try getting it working with Seamless Portals because the player transitions so smoothly between portals although someone would need to create a system for objects passing through portals

[subtle bison]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2773737445&searchtext=portals

[loud mural]

Why did you post the link lol?

[quiet scroll]

Oh yeah, it's possible to send light through the portals if you spawn both of them in from the props menu

No portalgun mod support, just the portal prop thingies :3

[loud mural]

Also we could get more than 1 pair with xoxor4d's runtime fixes

Although that would break volumetric lighting apparently

There would probably be culling issues though

[steel lark]

oops i meant seamless portals (immersive portals is from minecraft lmao)

[steel lark]

prop?

you mean entity right?

[loud mural]

Oh lol, should have known 🤦‍♂️

[steel lark]

when i tried it kind of replaced the world with the version of the world through the portal not really combining both

kind of like the func_reflective_glass

[earnest yew]

istg ive seen that head model somewhere on sketchfab

[subtle bison]

just tried mp on x64 for the first time, its not too buggy

still gotta find a way to load our lua stuff in mp tho

[loud mural]

I assume your a client?

[subtle bison]

yeah its a random server

[quiet scroll]

It was something here in the spawnables. I tried spawning some portal props, but nothing spawned in-game 😦

Last time I did it was on 32bit a few months ago, the portals had their blue and orange halos and everything

I probably posted a video here somewhere of it

[potent agate]

From my mp testing it was pretty buggy for the other player clients, and all the lights would flicker

things were fine for the host but the clients were having a bad time, lighting flickering was for everyone though

hdri cube also had a lot of errors when joining someone

[subtle bison]

is this with other rtx people or just a server without the addons?

[potent agate]

other RTX people

[subtle bison]

how recent was this?

[potent agate]

a few days ago

The 29th to be exact

[subtle bison]

ill try to look into networking the addons sometime. Would be nice to have fully functional MP

[zenith marlin]

Absolutely delicious..

[zenith marlin]

shame it got torn down eh?

[fallow mesa]

I can't see the game🤣

[compact blaze]

isn't remix fixes supposed to be here?

[compact blaze]

also i wanna ask whats the benefit of pbrfusion compared to nvidia's own ai pbr upscaler?

[fallow mesa]

I think it might not be needed

[compact blaze]

also i wanna ask

have people found causes as to why some maps just crashes the game

example being the serious room from stanley parable

[fallow mesa]

you use the 64bit gmod, right?

[compact blaze]

ya

[fallow mesa]

any map with a problem, I need a name

[compact blaze]

from here map_death, testchamber_a_00, map_one and the serious room

those maps i tested crash for no reason

even tho those maps worked fine in previous remix builds

[fallow mesa]

link add-ons?

[compact blaze]

nah its mounted through gmod

[fallow mesa]

Oh, I don't have that game😅

[quiet scroll]

Speed and quality, nvidia's upscaler is incredibly slow and AI upscale training has improved since it's release in other models, it's a bit outdated. Here's some comparisons, if you scroll down a bit there's video examples/benchmarks https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1266553821468033106

[compact blaze]

this is really cool wow

[compact blaze]

its so cool to see the remix devs actually actively support stuff like this

[quiet scroll]

Yeah they're great, very very great at helping. I look forward to their next ai model update, right now it's a deal breaker because there's no alpha layer support, so things like leafs and tree branches will turn into sheets of paper lol. But other than that it's not bad 🙂

[compact blaze]

i really hope with the infinite money nvidia has now the new upscaling pbr model above and beyond beats their old one

[quiet scroll]

Oh nice, I put in a ticket to have them support it natively so hopefully we won't have to continue doing that

[compact blaze]

i wanna ask a few years ago would yall believe gmod could ever look like this?

[subtle bison]

i integrated the workshop version with a few changes into the main repo

[drifting hinge]

the default impact decals 🤢

[subtle bison]

remember that displacement code i removed?

any maps that heavily use displacements are going to have culling issues for rn

[fallow mesa]

just some maps, most of them work well 😃

[lapis delta]

is that 64 bit?

[fallow mesa]

yes

[lapis delta]

how tf skybox is working?

without hdri

[fallow mesa]

It works normally for me

[quiet scroll]

it looks good up close but zoomed out it's so tiled

[earnest yew]

tiling is so hard to fix

[fallow mesa]

what map are you working on?

[drifting hinge]

ohh ma gawd hes doing the mall

[quiet scroll]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3417387329 mall's comin up next

how's the performance for y'all on it without a mod for it? It feels a liiiiiitle heavy, but idk maybe I had rtx remix capture checked when I was in

[drifting hinge]

it looks good but doesnt match the original texture at all actually

[quiet scroll]

idk if I should go like old rundown abandoned mall with wear and tare, or pristine mall that's clean but just creepy

[drifting hinge]

but have you tried using textures that are similar to the og ones yet

[drifting hinge]

goofy model

[quiet scroll]

Yeah I think I found a good replacement that looks like the OG floor. That thing scared the fuck out've me 😭

speaking of which

[drifting hinge]

how you gonna approach the model

its low quality

[quiet scroll]

did anyone find those 2 easter eggs in dat last map

[quiet scroll]

I have an idea cookin for it, I just hope the mesh is stable for replacement

[drifting hinge]

[quiet scroll]

[drifting hinge]

something malicious is brewing

[subtle bison]

i fixed it

[lapis delta]

in new version?

[subtle bison]

ye its been fixed for a couple weeks

[lapis delta]

fr? even with custom world rendering?

[quiet scroll]

Want me to stick with how everything is vanilla with some similar replacements, or take a spin on it? 🙂 I could do some spooky stuff with the lights, or keep them as is

[subtle bison]

ye

[compact blaze]

how nice

[subtle bison]

instead of disabling engine world rendering, i render our custom world on top of the engine

i was worried about performance but I couldn't even see a difference when toggling it on and off

[subtle bison]

is this a replacement?

[compact blaze]

ya ya

[fallow mesa]

do you have a hint?

[fallow mesa]

I see noise moving all the time

It seems to be at RR

[subtle bison]

it doesnt seem to be RR itself tho

its the view frustrum addon

not sure why tho

could be a coicidence with extra stuff being rendered in the scene

nothing changes in the remix debug view toggling it

so yea very weird

[fallow mesa]

okay, at first I thought that was a mistake RR

[half viper]

motion vectors?

[quiet scroll]

1 by a view just hanging
2.) potty

[subtle bison]

nah nothing shows in either motion vector debug view

[compact blaze]

ugh displacement maps are so cool

[drifting hinge]

it goes hard

[fallow mesa]

can the displacement be convex?

[compact blaze]

wdym convex?

[fallow mesa]

like high map

[fallow mesa]

It goes deeper instead of higher

I want it to be like this

[compact blaze]

Did you try setting the outwards displacement up?

[fallow mesa]

how do you set it up?

[safe stag]

guys 32 bit or 64 bit

cant decid

[fallow mesa]

now 64 bit recommend
