[fallow mesa]

I just saw that it had outwards

[wanton scarab]

eyes in source have to be assigned a different material and they are shader based, there's no bones, looking at that house model it seems the eyes are just part of the base texture

[compact blaze]

Set the outwards to like 1 or 2

[fallow mesa]

thx I'll try another capture

[fallow mesa]

like outwards nothing will happen

[hushed trail]

There’s no silhouette change, that isn’t implemented.

[fallow mesa]

I only see changes inwards

[compact blaze]

I wanna ask are you able to see the displacement changes by default in the editor? For some reason they just refuse to appear for me

[fallow mesa]

so has there been any change in the game?

maybe remix doesn't support outwards yet

[compact blaze]

Nah I mean displacement in general

They refuse to appear for me in the editor

[quiet scroll]

I think I'm gunna make two variations of the mall - one that's scary and spooky and one that's vanilla like the original

I started working on the spooky one but I think it's *too * spooky

[keen rivet]

damn i feel bad i havent beeen helping that much recently

[winter radish]

Nice try, we all know that's just Source 2 /jk

[subtle bison]

you're good man, its a community project so contribute whenever. I've had a lot of spare time so i've been cranking anything I can think of

[half viper]

You already did alot to us

[quiet scroll]

The mall map miiiiight actually just be a PBR upgrade with added glass, I'm kinda stumped with replacement textures as the OG's are actually really solid choices

[quiet scroll]

https://youtu.be/sH0ZmV_gGpA

[quiet scroll]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/gm-valley-view-mall-rtx

very scary version of mall coming soon

[drifting hinge]

why that happen

[fallow mesa]

I'm not sure why the texture changes itself

[subtle bison]

i think i know why. some models have texture skins that can be changed depending on a couple conditions, but they're not supposed to change by distance, at least not that close

try turning off the view frustrum addon and see if it fixes it

I'm guessing render bounds are messing with these types of models

[fallow mesa]

yes it's solvable

[compact blaze]

i wanna ask do any of yall know why the rtx remix toolkit isn't denoised

it was denoised before so maybe there's a setting im missing?

[fallow mesa]

you turned off de-noise in game ?

[compact blaze]

nah its denoised ingame

is it a capture thing?

[fallow mesa]

every capture is set to be the same as in the game

[compact blaze]

oh btw i wanna ask have you tried to see if height maps properly work on walls yet?

or just anything upright

cause this is what it usually looks like (extreme example but u get the idea)

[compact blaze]

seems we got the same issue

[lapis delta]

wait, is that SUN IS LEAKING

THE SUN IS LEAKING

THE SUN IS LEAKING

[subtle bison]

what the

[fallow mesa]

outwards displacement in remix 😆

[compact blaze]

tbh when that hl2 mod released i felt bad for the dev how everyone was hating on em for whats seemingly just a mod not supposed to really be serious and just be an insane wacko fest

but after that whole uh, y'know

nah i don't have much sympathy for em anymore

[drifting hinge]

the whole what

[compact blaze]

they added code in the mod to ban people playing the mod who talked shit about them 😭

[drifting hinge]

boring

[compact blaze]

i hope the new ray reconstruction model fixes how some of the slight details seem to not appear as clearly compared to a normal denoiser

[livid rapids]

It would be good if we could automatically extract normals from meshes, most of them look much better than the generated ones

Like I see that option to capture normals from vertices but it doesn't work

[compact blaze]

okay i figured out whats causing the stanley parable maps to crash in gmod remix, its smth to do with the remix gmod addon that comes with the x64 install

@subtle bison how should i format my issue on the github for it?

[subtle bison]

do you have the workshop ver of rtx remix fixes uninstalled?

the noCEF version of the compatibility mod shouldnt have any crashes with maps

i know the normal CEF version does and its not something fixable atm

[compact blaze]

I’m on no CEF and I have the workshop remix fixes uninstalled iirc

[subtle bison]

if you're on the newest ver, uninstall the workshop version

[compact blaze]

No sry I meant uninstalled

Weirdly other maps work fine

Like the main first map or the baby game

[subtle bison]

the only thing i can think of that would cause crashes is the models compiled for a newer version of source

[compact blaze]

The game was made in the portal 2 branch of the source engine

[subtle bison]

not entirely sure that's the reason though. When I get home ill try loading the maps and see what the visual studio debugger shows

[subtle bison]

yea i assumed so

its weird because portal 2 maps worked fine for me since the last time i tried them

[compact blaze]

What’s weird is that there should be nothing special in the serious room (one of the maps that crash) that the other working maps don’t already have (other than the serious table)

Or the confusion ending maps that’s just literally the start of the main map that already works

It’s so jarring

[subtle bison]

sounds like some kind of problematic entity/model

im gonna assume its crashing in shaderapidx9 like it always does when it comes to that stuff

[compact blaze]

How would that connect to the addon though? Since it launches fine without it

[subtle bison]

wdym, like vanilla gmod?

[compact blaze]

I tried disabling all settings on the addon before loading into one of the crashing maps and it still crashed so it has to be smth with the core of it

[compact blaze]

The remix fixes addon from the x64 remix install

[subtle bison]

so if you delete the remixbinary folder, it works fine?

[compact blaze]

Ya

[subtle bison]

💀

what on earth

[compact blaze]

Ikr?

Even when everything is disabled on there still crashes

But nope works fine without it

[subtle bison]

try 0.3 of the compat mod, but install the workshop version of rtx fixes

[compact blaze]

Maybe it’s smth to do with the lights since when I loaded into the serious room map it was pitch black with only the physics gun illuminating the scene

[subtle bison]

the only thing i can think of causing the crashes is the merge of rtx fixes in 0.4

[compact blaze]

Iirc it crashed even then

[subtle bison]

oh nvm then

[compact blaze]

Nah I’m running a clean install of x64

[subtle bison]

ill have to look into it when i get home then

gonna be a few hours

[jade edge]

Devs banning people who shittalked them

GIF in color, 2024

[compact blaze]

Thx, it’s fine dw take ur time

[subtle bison]

isnt the mod like half life 2 overdrive or something

[jade edge]

Overcharged

[subtle bison]

i think it deserved the hate it got lol, especially with how clunky it was and the dev's response to it all

it broke a lot of vanilla stuff

[compact blaze]

I feel if the dev took it on the chin and went out to improve the mod, or even stated that this was his vision for the mod to be a crazy buggy experience but be appreciated the criticism and people opinions

People would respect him wayyyyy more

[jade edge]

But instead he just went Steve Heines move

[drifting hinge]

smod continues to be ontop

[subtle bison]

smod my beloved

[drifting hinge]

Yeah I played SMod before Richter Overtime made a video on it, how could you tell?

[subtle bison]

i remember playing smod with a cracked copy of hl2 and sdk 2006 in like 2011 lol

good times

[wind yoke]

I ran some kind of early Gmod 10 on a GeForce 3

That was pain.

[lapis delta]

i think the model may improve the situation, but only a little bit.

[livid rapids]

I remember playing hl2 sometime 2007 or 8, then I discovered gmod in 2011

[lapis delta]

because nrd has a filter like "demodulate roughness" or something like this

disable it and it'll look like ray reconstruction

[quiet scroll]

Do y'all remember that physgun smod had? I prefer the old gmod 9 physics 😦

[compact blaze]

i hope it happens soon cause idk stanley be acting weird lately

[drifting hinge]

Freakley

[drifting hinge]

Demon...

[stable scarab]

damn this gave me goosebumps

[fallow mesa]

what the hell is that?

[kind holly]

So I just got it installed from the top pin here, anyone have settings for sharper shadows, better textures, and to get rid of that AI generated looking warbling effect (better shown in 2nd vid

and also what looks like rain splashing in very low light

[subtle bison]

not really, that's just the usual artifacts you get with all this temporal stuff

there is turning up the dlss quality and your display resolution if you can

also shadow sharpness is normal, its called the penumbra effect

the closer the shadow is to the object, the sharper.

the further away it is, the softer

you'll have to author your own texture mods or download existing ones

[kind holly]

so there's no upscaling for mats/tex

[subtle bison]

you'd have to do it yourself using the remix toolkit and community tools in this server

there is AI tools but they're not perfect

#remix-beginners-guide message

on how to add pbr to your sourcemod

i think it called

[subtle bison]

can y'all make a clone of me

i need one to work on gmod rtx

when the texture has displacement

[drifting hinge]

you've heard about displacement texture, but now get ready for texture displacement

[subtle bison]

@quiet scroll idk if im gonna do it this week, but im planning on adding two presets for the view frustrum thing.

1. Performance (Default)
2. Visual Cohesiveness (force renders everything like x32)

it also means I'll have to figure out rendering displacements correctly in my custom world renderer

[quiet scroll]

HUGEEEEE

I'm so excited!!

[earnest yew]

[steel lark]

squid game map comment lmao

[subtle bison]

@compact blaze the main map works for me?

its only compiled for HDR so the game has fullbright on

(why my viewmodel is invisible)

[quiet scroll]

now that's better

[earnest yew]

this will be garrys mod in 2011

[compact blaze]

I already said the main map works

I meant maps like the serious room, most of the confusion ending maps, the museum ending map

Or the mind control facility map

Those maps crash for no reason

[compact blaze]

Did u fix the tiling issue?

[quiet scroll]

Nah, I think I'm going to just leave as is, I just love the displacements so much the tiling doesn't really bother me

[drifting hinge]

shit I forgot the grip on the skull one

[lapis delta]

I can only guess how it will look even more beautiful while Nvidia is supporting remix

[compact blaze]

Are you using bloodhound to extract the textures?

[compact blaze]

I wanna ask what do u hope nvidia will add in the future for remix?

[livid rapids]

cordycep + greyhound yes

Do any of y’all know why emissives are always stuck at red? Even when you change the color in editor https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/520419097071321098/1336347457805615198/0F3037CC-8B90-4A10-A9D1-F0A52C84DD29.png

[lapis delta]

evil...

we need evil remix... NOW

[subtle bison]

make sure you made your emissive maps correctly

black = transparent

[compact blaze]

Nah I’m not using emissive maps, I just took some random model, made it’s transparent then added different coloured emissives to each texture

Since you can set the colour of the emissives

[subtle bison]

its probably some bug in the toolkit

[compact blaze]

I wanna ask are there methods to fix tiling issues in remix?

Like resizing the texture on the fly on a model for example

[subtle bison]

tiling issues usually stem from the texture not having tiled bounds, or do you mean something else?

[compact blaze]

Nah I’m just talking about remix sometimes hanging tiling issues when it’s on a large surface

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison did you try opening one of the maps I mentioned crashing from tsp yet?

[subtle bison]

not yet

serious room works for me

so does the museum

lighting is brokey but yeah no other issues

[steel lark]

i wish i had stanley parable

is there a content addon for it

like css and left4dead

[compact blaze]

wtf? is there any way for me to check for crash logs?

[turbid barn]

ъ

something isn't right

okay at least i've got HDRI working with Volumetric "on"

[subtle bison]

you can run the visual studio debugger against gmod and send a screenshot where it crashes

[distant crystal]

I'm 99% sure there is, of course there is nothing stopping you from "procuring" The files and dropping them into the gmod folder

[steel lark]

did not know the word procur existed in english

[steel lark]

well i don't have stanley parable that's the problem so i can't really get the files that way

[subtle bison]

he meant "getting them somehow"

cough

[steel lark]

uhmm

i know what you mean

getting them for free on epic games!

i actually don't have epic games installed and don't think i ever will but on my account i do have stanley parable

export the game files from the mobile port of stanley parable

[subtle bison]

if you end up getting ultra deluxe, that is based on unity so that wont work lol

[steel lark]

💀

[steel lark]

no it was the original one

ultra deluxe is so good too

[subtle bison]

so someone ported the source version to mobile?

[steel lark]

sad that it isn't source

[subtle bison]

ik source for android exists but why stanley parable

💀

[steel lark]

no it's ultra deluxe lol

[subtle bison]

oh

good for them porting to mobile

more people to enjoy it

a lot cheaper tho

[subtle bison]

think im gonna remove the api lights lmao

i spent last night and all of today refactoring anything i can think of. I spent hours trying to figure out the race conditions in remix using a debug build, getting nowhere. They're crashing in the d3d9 device and the remix api due to contention with source's d3d9 calls and the module sending send remix api commands

I tried only using the d3d9 device to obtain the interface and then send commands to the remix api directly but that doesnt work for whatever reason

i think the only thing that might fix it is severely limiting the update rate

but it still has the chance to crash the game since it depends on how much load the d3d9 device has

i still dont know how they were stable for that one week a while back, i didnt even do any major changes

i wish we had a x64 bridge

[onyx ridge]

i take it harassing the remix devs wouldn't help

[subtle bison]

nah. im blaming 99% me since im using claude to figure out the majority of this remix API stuff

im not really a programmer so there is probably a lot I have missed

[fallow mesa]

why does gmod 64bit need a bridge when the bridge is 64 bit?

[subtle bison]

i dunno, just blindly saying that in the hopes it would be a more stable base for remix api stuff

[subtle bison]

oh, nah the bridge converts 32-bit d3d9 calls to x64

but it also acts as a handler for input and the api

[fallow mesa]

oh I got it👍

so the bridge does not support native 64bit

[subtle bison]

no, its strictly for x32 stuff

[fallow mesa]

how are they gonna fix that with 64bit?

[subtle bison]

there are few x64 fixed function games so its definitely not on their priority list

[steel lark]

convert 64bit to 32bit then use the bridge to convert the 32bit that was converted from 64 bits back to 64 bits

https://tenor.com/view/think-about-it-use-your-brain-use-the-brain-think-brain-gif-7914082

[fallow mesa]

most DX9 or lower games are not 64 bits

[lapis delta]

bruuuh

[lapis delta]

i can't launch game with launcher, it just crashes. that's all (64-bit, cef ver)

[wind yoke]

On the list of things I'm never downloading:

[fallow mesa]

I'm using CEF

[lapis delta]

don't i need to download dxvk separately?

[fallow mesa]

yes everything's in there now

[subtle bison]

unless the newest gmod broke everything, it should work ootb

make sure your x64 install is a clean one

[lapis delta]

only with your addons?

[subtle bison]

I'd start with those but most addons work

[drifting hinge]

anything here that could be evil for gmod rtx

[subtle bison]

dont think so

[drifting hinge]

rejoice

[subtle bison]

@quiet scroll part 1 is done, you can now statically control the bounds (set them once)

part 2 is fixing displacement code so they show up correctly in reflections and stuff

[fallow mesa]

It's an interesting update

[subtle bison]

yea its not really an improvement unless you want maximal visual quality

we set the bounds dynamically with a low value for performance, but of course any reflections are gonna look pretty bad

dynamic vs static lol

im thinking about making some kind of custom static prop renderer as it would be a lot more efficient than modifying render bounds

seeing that performance is good with something like infmap (which uses meshes exclusively), its probably the right idea

oops

thats not right lol

[fallow mesa]

If there is a LOD system?

[subtle bison]

cosmodrome absolutely tanks holy

[subtle bison]

i dont think we'll need one

but ill find out when i implement the mesh rendering system

[subtle bison]

it begins

CR YOU'RE THE BEST

btw we're still gonna modify render bounds for entities and physics props

because re-rendering those is gonna make me go insane

yea apparently apple doesnt support h265

[compact blaze]

What program do you use to record and export the video?

Ouch

It’s been out for like 10 years why?

[subtle bison]

idk

i think its actually a react native issue because even some android people cant play it

discord on ios and android share the same codebbase

Where you getting your textures from?

Even if this is just the normal unchanged texture I’m genuinely curious where u get all your pbr textures

[quiet scroll]

They're the regular gmod textures, upscaled+pbr'd with PBRify https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1216200397497045002

For other replacements I'll use websites like AmbientCG, PolyHaven, etc for free PBR textures

[compact blaze]

Do you have a list of the texture sites you use

[quiet scroll]

#1211706192510844999 message

[compact blaze]

If not that’s fine I just wanna know what site you used to get that damn good broken pool flooring texture

[quiet scroll]

I believe it's this one https://ambientcg.com/view?id=Tiles133D 🙂

[compact blaze]

Amazing

Off topic but have you ever had any issues with replacing multiple of the same model?

[quiet scroll]

I don't think so, usually if a model hash is stable I'm able to replace it + all the other occurrences it has in a scene

[compact blaze]

I mean like you try line up a new model with the old one, you then delete the old model in the editor then check the other instances of the same model don’t have the new asset and are just gone

[quiet scroll]

Oh no that hasn't happened to me yet, sounds like a weird bug

[compact blaze]

Ya had that happen with my unreal capture lol, tried replacing a rock model, the asset I was working on worked fine and the new rock was still there

But checking the other instances of the old asset it just doesn’t have the new asset attached to it

It’s like there’s only one instance of the new asset when you try attach it to an old existing asset

Even tho there should be one for every other instance of the asset

Ever experienced that bug before?

Wondering if it’s a common bug or just a me issue

Just in case I don’t waste a bunch of time trying to fix smth that’s the editors fault

[quiet scroll]

I haven't, but if you look in the Selection tab, there should be an Instance(s) list of all the models currently selected, could be worth seeing if it's regestering the other instances. But yeah that hasn't happened to me yet

[compact blaze]

Nah when I click on the other appearances of the same model in the level

They all are attached to the new model and all the appearances of that old model get highlighted

So they’re all still connected

And it’s apparent there’s for some reason only one of the new model

And what’s weird was when I added the new model as a instance for the old model

It appeared far out in the void

Instead of directly in the middle of the old model

Along with other instances of the same model also having their own new model

[quiet scroll]

If you press CTRL+T I believe it should move the model to where your mouse is

[subtle bison]

@quiet scroll do you mind sending me your comfyui workflow json?

[compact blaze]

Ya dw I found the model when it was out in the void as only one instance lol

[subtle bison]

i wanna see how my m4 pro mac handles it since it has a lot more vram than my 2080

[quiet scroll]

Yeah! Do you want the PBRify one or the PRBFusion one?

Oh and batch texture upscale, or the one that's like select texture in remix and then presss queue in comfyui?

M4 PRO HAS MORE VRAM THAN A 2080??

[subtle bison]

yea cuz apple sillicon macs have unified memory

i have 48gb, i tried flux dev and its insane how well it runs

[subtle bison]

whichever one gives the best results

[quiet scroll]

This one's the latest PBRFusion batch loader one

[subtle bison]

thx

ill try it in a few hours and report back

would love to have a dedicated upscaling setup lmao

[quiet scroll]

48GB's is crazyyyyy, omg that's literally having 2 4090's lmaooo

[subtle bison]

i dont think the actual speed is on par with a 4090 tho lol

4 minutes for this lmao with flux-dev

but my gaming pc wouldnt be able to touch this

[quiet scroll]

Damnn that's great, makes me wanna pull out flux again lol. Iemme see if I can find my text2image workflow

[subtle bison]

i've messed with sdxl the most with my 2080, so i definitely wanna try that at one point for speed comparisons

[fallow mesa]

flux.1 dev is good quality

[subtle bison]

yea, its just really heavy

this is the actual output image

[compact blaze]

I wonder what happens if you try to ask flux to make a normal map

[subtle bison]

20gb of ram usage lmao

[quiet scroll]

I've tried, flux isn't good at game textures yet :/ NightRaven's taking a look at one rn, he might be the first to get game textures working with the model

[compact blaze]

Ya ik, I just wanna see how weird it looks

[quiet scroll]

omg i think I deleted flux already, my shayla

[drifting hinge]

oh my gat

[lament quartz]

@subtle bison how exactly would you set up an hdri skybox in the toolkit?

i cant seem to get it to work for rtcw

[subtle bison]

tl;dr, make a hi-poly sphere in blender, import into toolkit, convert the hdri into a compatible format, set as emissive texture for said sphere with an intensity of 1 or below, profit.
for more specific info i would search this channel, espeically Binq Adams's messages and mine.

easiest way is to use my hdri remix mod and adapt it for yours

it already has the correct settings and sphere dimensions

https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1211706192510844999 from one of these resources, it was either ambientcg or polyhaven

[lament quartz]

got it to kinda work, but now its just a bright white esc light

this was usings crs mod

[lapis pewter]

Does that hdri have a sun

[lament quartz]

it does

[lapis pewter]

U need to make sure the sky sphere geometry has a reasonably high number of polygons for some reason

Which sky sphere are you using

[lament quartz]

the one you sent

[lapis pewter]

Did you process the hdri?

[lament quartz]

ingested it and used the blender item

[lapis pewter]

Ahhh

Yeah you don't want to ingest

Just jam it in there

[lament quartz]

oh

[lapis pewter]

And it has to be specific format

Not at pc right now so can't check but from memory it's one of the two formats marked as hdri in Nvidia texture tools, the unsigned one

Where did you get the hdri?

I can check in 10 mins

Bc6U

unsigned

i think CR linked a github at some point that has some pre-processed hdris

[lament quartz]

i see

[lapis pewter]

maybe it was this
https://github.com/sambow23/hdri_cube/blob/main/README.md

[lament quartz]

Hi sorry I couldn't reply for like ever, anyways it's almost 12 so I'll probably continue it tomorrow, sorry

[lapis pewter]

sleep well!

[quiet scroll]

Facade coming sooooon

[half viper]

@glossy mauve would outward displacement work with fur?

[drifting hinge]

bro this looks so good

still no underwater fix

[fallow mesa]

I think it's gonna be weird😆

[lament quartz]

so just plugging it in without ingesting, I get the same results

[lapis pewter]

Where did you get the hdri

Ah from the GitHub I guess

[lament quartz]

from the github

[lapis pewter]

What's your material setup in toolkit

[lament quartz]

this?

[lapis pewter]

Try albedo white and emissive intensity 1

And try the sky sphere mesh from the GitHub repo

It's in there somewhere I think

[lament quartz]

thats with intensity 1

sorry nwait

now its intensity 1

[lapis pewter]

That's grass at emissive tho isn't it

[lament quartz]

no

[lapis pewter]

Ahh nvm

[lament quartz]

the grass isnt emissive

[lapis pewter]

Let me check my setup

Can you go on the voice chat and stream what you have got so far

typing is effort

😄

or chat in the RTCW channel perhaps

[lament quartz]

rtcw channel would be better, i cannot voice chat atm

[subtle bison]

infmap so good it gets a sequel https://github.com/Def-Try/infmap2

[drifting hinge]

infmap if it was good

[glossy mauve]

time to test

[drifting hinge]

uh oh

[lapis delta]

no way

[willow fog]

no way

[subtle bison]

way

[lapis delta]

i farted so hard

[willow fog]

I have a similar meme but kim will absolutely obliterate me

[lapis delta]

damn

[subtle bison]

so infmap2 sabotoges remix compatibility

i will riot

🤓

[lapis delta]

do it.

[drifting hinge]

woah

gmod rtx chat jumpscare

[drifting hinge]

me when i get you

[lapis delta]

[willow fog]

Not uh

[lapis delta]

[subtle bison]

surprised rp_southside_day runs as good as it does

its a massive map

[steel lark]

joever

he said it looks like lithium's fps maxxing

[subtle bison]

yea we have lithium but iirc i have the fps maxxer off by default in the compat mod

lemme try infmap2 on my end

yeah it works for me

even props render

sweet

viewmodels and the sky seem to fall apart once you leave source engine map bounds though

but i assume its a remix bug

nvm

it happens in rasterized too

[subtle bison]

dont turn on random lithium settings

use the defaults that come with the x64 compat mod

ah sweet the HDRI editor works here too

all hail infmap2

[drifting hinge]

all hail unfmap2

unfmap

day ruined

[fallow mesa]

I don't feel very well in my eyes

can I hide it?

[subtle bison]

i couldnt find a way

i hid my hud which made it go away but then i cant see anything else lol

[meager oar]

dayum

[fallow mesa]

why does the HDRI work?

I didn't do anything

[subtle bison]

who knows

but glad its working for you 😎

[compact blaze]

did u come across the issue where when u try right click and open the menu it opens for a few frames then instantly closes

wait wtf

if i hold crouch

it opens fine

huh??

[fallow mesa]

do you mean HDRI editor?

i hold C to control

[subtle bison]

its only visible in the context menu by holding the C key

[compact blaze]

oh i swapped out the context menu for crouch

and b now open the context menu

never had that issue with any extra context menu stuff before

@subtle bison with the stanley parable maps, i tried seeing if doing a clean modless install of tsp without portal 2 and cs:s mounted would yield any results

still crashes for no reason

[subtle bison]

can you give me the specific map name of one that always crashes?

ik you mentioned a few but having the exact name would help

[compact blaze]

one im always trying is the serious room

[subtle bison]

is that the actual bsp name?

[compact blaze]

i mean it is a serious room

[subtle bison]

yeah still works for me

clean x64 compat mod install

[compact blaze]

what games do u have mounted?

[subtle bison]

css, tf2, hl2, infra, p1, p2, stanley parable

did this one work?

babygame.bsp

[compact blaze]

ya works fine

[subtle bison]

i notice its compiled for LDR

cuz models are rendering and no fullbright in console

[compact blaze]

then how are u able to run hdr maps then?

[subtle bison]

idk they just dont crash for me

i dont have anything special installed to make them work either

[compact blaze]

source is such a stable engine

[subtle bison]

did you try unsubscribing from all addons except the ones in this addon collection?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3417054376

[compact blaze]

ill try

[compact blaze]

still crashes

even with all the addons disabled

[subtle bison]

all addons except those required 4*?

[compact blaze]

yup

whats weird is that it loads up fine without hdr on normal gmod

wait a minute

nvm crashed anyways

[subtle bison]

is this still running in dx7 or is this a normal gmod install

[compact blaze]

normal gmod install

[subtle bison]

weird gmod bug i guess then

[compact blaze]

how do i enable dx7?

[subtle bison]

you dont, the dxvk.conf for rtx remix forces the game to render in fixed function (or dxlevel 70)

if its crashing in dx9c then its not a fixed function/remix issue

[compact blaze]

its not crashing at dx9

[subtle bison]

so your normal gmod install isnt dx9? huh im confused

[compact blaze]

no it is dx9

sry for the confusion

[subtle bison]

all good
im saying the crash is not related to rendering, at least i dont think

does it work when the game is in HDR on the normal install?

[compact blaze]

Nah, hdr works fine

[subtle bison]

weird

we currently dont have any way of forcing HDR in fixed function mode, the engine doesnt allow us to turn it on

it could be changed with a hook in the binary module but it would take a bit to figure out

@fallow mesa if you can, go into gm_flatgrass and spawn a remix api light with these settings

move it around, does your game crash?

i think the default size it spawns with is causing instability as its suddenly working fine for me again

normally i get a insta-crash moving them this fast

[fallow mesa]

crash

[subtle bison]

try relaunching the game until you can spawn them without the lua errors

thats a seperate issue i havent tracked down yet

[fallow mesa]

lua error from the first time

[subtle bison]

they should go away at least for one game launch

they're being spawned with the same settings in my 1st screenshot right?

[fallow mesa]

yes

I've tried it five times

[subtle bison]

what the hell (audio warning)

[fallow mesa]

why is that?

[subtle bison]

i got no idea

i think its because i have a bunch of physics modifier addons

[subtle bison]

ok so on denser maps the lights still instacrash my game

[fallow mesa]

should I install VPhysics-jolt?

[subtle bison]

yeah if you want, works fine

[fallow mesa]

🤣

[subtle bison]

try the ar2 alt fire

its just as good lmao

especially if you shoot it at a prop

[compact blaze]

Has that been updated since 2022?

[subtle bison]

it got updated again somewhat recently

[subtle bison]

joshie my beloved (the person who made the mod)

i think they go by a different name now but i used to talk to them a fair bit

[compact blaze]

Can u send the GitHub?

[fallow mesa]

https://github.com/misyltoad/VPhysics-Jolt/releases/tag/0.20

[subtle bison]

hu why is it normal

its supposed to knock props into the stratosphere

lemme see

[fallow mesa]

[subtle bison]

ok so nvm

i guess im wrong

its normal for me too

[fallow mesa]

😱

[subtle bison]

oh yeah there it is

[compact blaze]

Damn where’d you get these materials from

[fallow mesa]

oh I did it in toolkit

[compact blaze]

What did you use in the tool kit to add the specific emission and metallic features?

[fallow mesa]

normally the texture already contains alpha

put alpha into the emission in the toolkit

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/ComfyUI-RTX-Remix

for normal, roundness, texture, displacement

[compact blaze]

Ah ok

[lost pasture]

uh

when I look up

the RTX effect goes away

[subtle bison]

maybe a video would help?

[lost pasture]

ok

[subtle bison]

you followed the pinned instructions for x64? looks like the distant light is being culled

[lost pasture]

yes?

well

kinda

[subtle bison]

💀

[lost pasture]

I didnt copy gmod

[subtle bison]

i dont think that's causing the issue but its preferable you do so game updates dont break it

[lost pasture]

ok

[subtle bison]

make sure you have all of the workshop addons installed

[lost pasture]

addons?

[subtle bison]

yes they're linked in the instructions

[lost pasture]

ok now its crashing

just on launch

oh right

dont launch

it on steam

im dumb

[subtle bison]

also re-copy the mod files over your game after installing those addons

there are config files that set up a few of them

[limber sparrow]

Guys how to change dlss preset for gmod rtx x86-64?

Nvidia profile inspector and dlsstweaks didnt worked

[subtle bison]

i think it requires the nvidia app global override, nv inspector and dlsstweaks doesn't fully work for me either

[limber sparrow]

I tried overriding didnt work

It stoped working after i reinstalled gmod because it was like 300 gigs

[drifting hinge]

300 gigs

evil

[limber sparrow]

idk how it will be in english

[drifting hinge]

the gigabyte

[limber sparrow]

but shorter how?

[drifting hinge]

im not qualified

[limber sparrow]

ok got it

its just gb

help somebody, overriding doesnt work

[night bramble]

Make sure to use NvidiaProfileInspectorRevamped

[limber sparrow]

i am

[night bramble]

Replacing the dlss files manually and doing preset j or K is easiest method

[limber sparrow]

i did all of that

[night bramble]

Then it will use transformer

[limber sparrow]

works for all games except garry's mod

no

it uses still CNN and C

i think the problem is that i use gmod-rtx-files-2

[night bramble]

You replaced all three dlss files

Also i just set preset under global profile

[limber sparrow]

I didnt replaced frame gen

[night bramble]

You can add the custom gmod exe to the standard garrys mod profile profile

Just hit the green plus with the little window icon top right

[limber sparrow]

I will try now

Thank you, it fixed

nvidia profile inspector was seeing gmod as startup exe for rtx remix and not base game

[lost pasture]

ok

now it doesnt work

well it didnt work before

I just had some stuff to do so I couldnt try it

[subtle bison]

can you be more specific on what isnt working 💀

[lost pasture]

it just wont work

I mean

its non rtx

[subtle bison]

ah yes very specific

show a screenshot or video

[lost pasture]

bro

what more do you want

rtx doesnt work

[subtle bison]

you saying "rtx doesnt work" does not help me narrow down what your exact issue is. Is it the same issue with the sun culling when looking away? is the game rasterized? is there a specific error message?

[lost pasture]

no

like

its non rtx

its

classic gmod

without rtx

like it completely doesnt work

[wind yoke]

Ok but in which way doesn't it work

[lost pasture]

in every way

like

its not there

no rtx

its as if the mod isnt installed

[wind yoke]

Do you have menu access to verify you haven't missed enabling it?

[modern quest]

share your .log files

[wind yoke]

Because if it's not installed properly, then it's not malfunctioning. It's flat out not installed.

And that's user error.

[subtle bison]

yes, the main installation step is quite literally drag n drop, run the launcher exe

i couldn't make it any simpler

there is no further user configuration so you should be getting the exact same experience as everyone else

provided you followed the installation instructions correctly

[lost pasture]

ok

now it works

reinstalled it

but small problem mouse cursor doesnt dissapear

[subtle bison]

read the issues section the installation guide

its a known issue with remix itself

no fix for now

[lost pasture]

ok

[subtle bison]

i need to open a dxvk-remix github issue while im thinking about it

[steel lark]

this is so beautiful 🥹

ouh

[steel lark]

no hdri's btw

just vanilla sky and sun

people still using x32 in gmod?

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison holy shit i just figured it out

u need to disable fucking multicore rendering

bruh still crashes anyways?

wait the portal map that was crashing before finally started working

but the seriousroom didn't

wtf?

[compact blaze]

multicore rendering seems to have actually done nothing

the portal map just works now

for some reason

[drifting hinge]

mcore

[compact blaze]

and the serious room now works???

all i did was switch texture, shader and models settings to low

go ingame

then settings back to high again

wtf

[half viper]

i think i had a stroke trying to read that

[drifting hinge]

fluid moist

[subtle bison]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3326989621&searchtext=cursor forked this addon with a hardcoded ALT+X binding, also blocked all input as well. That's one remix issue fixed.

time to fix the flickering mouse

hopefully its a simple fix

[limber sparrow]

can you send bind command pls

[subtle bison]

?

[limber sparrow]

for blocking cursor

[subtle bison]

for the normal addon you would bind it to X, the command is on the addon page

[drifting hinge]

what was the bug

[subtle bison]

but you dont need to do any of this once i push this to a new release

its all integrated since we're including a forked ver

[subtle bison]

the runtime menu doesnt lock the mouse so you cant control anything unless the game is paused

[drifting hinge]

thousands of shreks storming a mcdonalds nice

[subtle bison]

what building dxvk-remix is like holy shit

fully loading my 7950X3D

[drifting hinge]

🫡

[livid rapids]

I know there's some hook to completely disable the cursor in a game, I saw that on lossless scaling

With the caveat that well... there is no more cursor

[subtle bison]

yea im just gonna modify the runtime directly

[livid rapids]

Although it would be easy to detect ALT+X and enable it

still wouldn't see it on menus tho

[subtle bison]

yeah thats what the forked addon does, it kills all input when active

even context menus

its just like normal remix on x32

[livid rapids]

No I mean it kills the cursor IMAGE

It hides it

[subtle bison]

oh

lmao

[livid rapids]

It's still there

I think a toggle would be nice for that, just toggle it when you need to see the cursor

Does gmod give you a way to know whether the spawn/context/pause menu is open?

[subtle bison]

probably, but i think it would be easier to just fix whatever issue dxvk-remix has

[subtle bison]

still dont see how this would fix the flickering mouse issue, unless this isnt about that

cuz im really confused lol

[livid rapids]

I mean if we just go and fix the dxvk issue none of this matters

[subtle bison]

even if we tried to handle it via gmod, i dont see a way to make the game itself hide the mouse cursor, as the flickering mouse is something happening outside the game

afaik at least

i dont know any other x64 remix projects

[livid rapids]

Not really

It's happening inside the game's window

As far as windows is concerned

[subtle bison]

right but the input handling issue stems from remix, that we know

im thinking about nuking whatever handling that is ngl lol

it probably relies on the bridge anyway, but ill find out soon

[subtle bison]

yep

it relies on the bridge

💀

[subtle bison]

im going insane

[drifting hinge]

nvidia rtx remix if it was made by vivziepop

[subtle bison]

yeah uhh something is definitely not behaving correctly when the bridge is gone...

d3d9 swapchain going insane

i tried normal dxvk on x64, no issues

so its definitely a dxvk-remix specific issue

[quiet scroll]

literally spit out the water out’ve my mouth laughing at this

[subtle bison]

remix issues fixed

[subtle bison]

please tell me if this is too much lmao

made the timeout 20 seconds as well

spaced stuff out just a bit

[distant crystal]

That looks amazing, how did you edit the message?

[subtle bison]

custom dxvk-remix build

there is a section for the splash message and i edited the string text

[livid rapids]

might wanna shorten that link

[subtle bison]

shorten how? Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2?

[subtle bison]

probably gonna take these words back later, but i think i finally fixed the api lights lmao

we now render the light in-sync with gmod's d3d9 device instead of just every frame (i was doing this with lua+binary module with no help from the d3d9 device, kinda seems obvious on why it was so unstable lmao)

and all of the light updates and processing happen strictly on the binary module, lua just spawns the light with the properties

i still need to fix the update code so they can be removed/moved around

[quiet scroll]

HUGEEEEE

[subtle bison]

they're still kinda unstable, spawning more than 15 on heavy maps results in a crash but i can confidently say 1 or 3 wont instacrash your game

[earnest yew]

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-minions-popcorn-day-laugh-gif-5026739

[compact blaze]

i wanna ask does anyone here know where to get the proper pbr materials for juniez's models

tried using ones from the HLA workshop but idk if they look proper enough y'know?

[subtle bison]

i made a whole pack for them about a year ago. Though they're based on hl2.exe gmod's hashes so i will need to update them at one point to make them work on x64

[compact blaze]

nah its ok, do u know where i could download it?

[subtle bison]

i never got around to publishing them

[compact blaze]

Ah ok, are u able to send them here rn or is it too big?

Just so I could fix it for myself to use

[subtle bison]

too big, I'll probably fix them today tho

[compact blaze]

Ah ok

Nice

[compact blaze]

do we know why noise with dlss in gmod have a weird rolling effect over everything

making everything slightly boil and shift when its denoised

[subtle bison]

is it only happening in gmod?

ik it goes away with DLSS 4

iirc

[subtle bison]

apparently allowing cubemaps fixes some untextured drawcalls

[compact blaze]

Ya it’s the only time I’ve noticed smth like that in remix

It’s not like the denoiser is messing up

No you can see how the noise shifts across the model

And it’s only with dlss enabled

Native res the noise looks like noise as always

[subtle bison]

iirc it comes from how we handle changing render bounds for models, nothing changes in the debug views in remix but yeah it affects the final output. I think i posted my findings a while ago

#1116089843479498782 message

its very strange

[compact blaze]

Nah like even when I disable that addon, the noise still appeared

Maybe its the addon itself but the effects are deeper than just disabling a setting

[subtle bison]

try disabling RR

[subtle bison]

disabling rtx view frustrum disables it entirely, if its happening still, its something else

[compact blaze]

Nah it’s happening with the noise itself

The dlss raw noise

I’ll try record it wait

[livid rapids]

I've searched for a while for the original models and textures but couldn't find anything, the phong maps do well when tweaked

[livid rapids]

Well HLA uses roughness metallic so that's exactly how it should look

[subtle bison]

pretty much what i did, but i also added some stuff on top in substance

[compact blaze]

I searched for and I think I saw smth about juniez releasing the models on sketch fab

But only his tau cannon recreation appeared

Such a shame

[compact blaze]

Is that why the textures for it are so weird?

[subtle bison]

ye

[compact blaze]

I remember the pistol had like 2 diffuse maps

And 3 normal maps

And when you enable the alpha on 2 of the normal maps

It had different patterns

[livid rapids]

Uh oh

I don't remember source 2 using any alpha information on normal maps

that's a source thing

Usually that's phong related

[compact blaze]

Nah, I remember using source 2 viewer

Enabling the alpha view showed patterns

It was so weird

[livid rapids]

Well it's possible they just directly converted the normal maps, leaving the alpha channel intact

Which doesn't serve a purpose in S2

Mind sharing the roughness and metallic maps?

[subtle bison]

since i cant access the toolkit atm, here is some iray renders of my ar2 pbr maps

[livid rapids]

that's clean

[subtle bison]

its a mix of the original phong and normal maps with my custom materials

[livid rapids]

maybe too clean...

[subtle bison]

yeah i can make them dirtier

im gonna do another pass on all of them since i've learned a lot more since then

[livid rapids]

I love what modern cod games do, scratches in the surface are glossier and they show the bare metal underneath so it's metallic

You could do that around the edges of stuff where it's realistically more likely to scratch

[subtle bison]

yeah, definitely gonna take advantage of anchor hooks and bake maps

lets me do all of those things easily

thanks to e-man showing me a lot of the cool shit you can do with substance

not sure if this is due to remix's model capturing or something else, but some of the baked maps have some jarring issues

only a few of the bake maps are like this tho

and i dont have to use them for the metal edge scratches and stuff

[lament quartz]

arent the combine a clean esc species tho,,

[livid rapids]

woulnd't it be better to do mdl to obj or fbx

[subtle bison]

would this be "lore accurate" 😛

[subtle bison]

for topology sure, but 90% of the time it works fine importing straight from remix

[lament quartz]

grah

[subtle bison]

started on scratches

i think it looks pretty good

sorry for the noisy render tho lol

i doubled the texture resolution and my gpu isnt happy about it

really wish i could run the remix toolkit rn

i dont like using iray

[winter radish]

I wonder if Gmod RTX would be allowed on Steam, lol
Would be cool to have a RTX workshop

[subtle bison]

would need some work on the binary module or changes by rubat to load usda files and stuff

[compact blaze]

deleted the textures but ill try extract em rn

why not grab the albedos from the offical weapons pack from gmod and hl2?
