Garry's Mod

[subtle bison]

yea but the one i linked doesnt look too good in terms of a PBR conversion

[compact blaze]

the 3 normals

[winter radish]

For Gmod RTX

[livid rapids]

What's the alpha stuff on the normals

[subtle bison]

i think they're all the same lol

[livid rapids]

It isn't showing up here

[compact blaze]

normals with alpha

[subtle bison]

im pressing the right arrow key and nothing looks different

[compact blaze]

first one refused to send sry

had to screencap this texture

[livid rapids]

Okay I see why it looks strange

First is a roughness map

third could be specular fused with something else

But with source 2 there should be separate roughness and metallic textures

[subtle bison]

ngl these look cursed to me

[livid rapids]

Don't see the use in these

[compact blaze]

there aren't

thats why i was confused

[livid rapids]

Interesting, guess it is pulling roughness from the normal alpha

doesn't explain the other diffuse and normal maps

[compact blaze]

first 2 alpha's of the normal maps seemed to be combined in the roughness

[willow fog]

[compact blaze]

3rd normal map just seems to be a regular normal map

[willow fog]

Pretty sure that's not a normal map

[livid rapids]

What's more interesting is that I don't see any of the original phong/envmap texture there

[willow fog]

Holy shit, yes. Seeth and mald. Throw around as many lawsuits as you can. Idiot.

Context: This guy was a major ass to the modders who first ported mw19 weapons and animations to Gmod over a link in his video description.

I wish to see him suffer

[compact blaze]

I think that needs more context

Cause that still makes no sense

[willow fog]

He makes videos showcasing first person games and mods, focusing on milsim realism. He showcased the aforementioned Gmod mw19 guns port. In the video description, it said:
Download the mods: (link to his own website)

The modders asked him to replace his website link with the actual steam page or specify that the link goes to his website article.
Instead of complying, he made a huge deal out of the issue and then went on to make multiple videos sharing a story which accused the modders of "things", but never specified what those "things" were.
The videos were him sitting in front of a camera and having a temper tantrum. "I will destroy you. You have no idea how many connections I have." Stuff like that.

He went on to start a game dev studio making his own Arma clone. Now he's suing streamers over accepting sponsorships from other studios.

[compact blaze]

Wow that is

Well I hope In the future he realizes how all this is really bad and tries remedying his actions

[willow fog]

He used to treat his developers like crap, paying them scraps and there were screenshots of him telling his devs to straight up rip off Arma. I've talked with the people. He is the most unpleasant person I've ever seen.

And his YouTube videos make him look like the smartest man on earth.

[willow fog]

The Gmod deal happened like 3 or 4 years ago and this lawsuit thing is from this week. He won't learn.

[compact blaze]

Wait is it the blue drake person?

[willow fog]

Mmhm

Should've specified that earlier lol

[compact blaze]

Oh my god didn’t that same guy make an ai channel of himself where it autogenerates random reviews of games

I think that says more how shallow his content already is rather than the shamelessness of using ai especially like that

[drifting hinge]

😭 i bought the donator dlc and i will never forgive myself for that

[willow fog]

Probably. I don't pay him any attention anymore

[willow fog]

Aww hell. You're dead to me, buddy.

[drifting hinge]

rest in peace mane...

[faint sapphire]

Juniez released the uncompressed sources a while ago. You can get it here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NomiobmQ8ei9HkFuIzIxtLt_5pBKgsAY/view?usp=sharing

[subtle bison]

wow i did not expect this

definitely using those in my ver

good lord 🤤

so sharp

[compact blaze]

omg ty

also ur name looks really familier

were u the one that hosted that old gmod rtx guide from early 2023?

[faint sapphire]

Yeah

[compact blaze]

yo hows it been, ty for doin that btw

@subtle bison

[subtle bison]

oh i havent seen that

is it just in that freecam mode?

[compact blaze]

nah it happens in general

i just went into freecam to get a closer look

[subtle bison]

is it just the viewmodel or everything?

[compact blaze]

this is with frustum and custom world rendering disab;ed

[compact blaze]

only viewmodel

[subtle bison]

ah ik what it is then

one sec

do your viewmodel settings look similar to mine?

[compact blaze]

mhm

[subtle bison]

increase the scale to something like 0.200

[compact blaze]

ah ok thx

ya boiling is gone ty

[subtle bison]

at 0.5 it looks completely stable for me

ill have this fixed in the next release

[compact blaze]

nice

[drifting hinge]

that feel when the gun starts boiling in the sun

[subtle bison]

im gonna be re-doing my entire juniez pbr pack now i guess, so glad he included some bake maps

🤤

those gloss/specular maps converted look so good

[lapis delta]

let me guess, bluedrake?

[willow fog]

Ye

[lapis delta]

REAL

ISM...

[willow fog]

Break his skull ism

[lapis delta]

based

[compact blaze]

i wanna ask what type of normal map is in the files?

opengl or directx?

[subtle bison]

i forgor which is which

they play nice with substance at least

thats all i know

[subtle bison]

havent modified the roughness yet, the original ar2 specular map seems to be a lot shinier in remix

physgun looks pretty good though

[near tartan]

path traced are looking great

incridible work

[subtle bison]

made it slightly less reflective and also added the alt maps (the ar2 shells change color when firing)

looks really good now

[onyx ridge]

flashbacks to when i upscaled the textures and they were 8k i think

remix immediately unloaded the ar2's alt firing material when it finished

and it took like a half a second to unblur when loaded again

[subtle bison]

yea i see this blur sometimes as well, these are 4K textures

[compact blaze]

Is there any way to record demos in gmod?

[subtle bison]

ye

record

[compact blaze]

Ya you should try record a demo and do a before and after of the normal raster hl2 weapons and Juniez weapons in remix

[subtle bison]

what would i be doing in the demo? just show all fire modes, cycle inspect animations, and then cycle to the next weapon?

[compact blaze]

Ig just go through a small redone room/level, shooting up bad guys with multiple weapons and have the room be filled with redone props

That’s what I thought at least

[subtle bison]

was thinking about doing d2_prison_03 in hl2 but wow there is a lot of untextured drawcalls

gotta fix this for sure

[subtle bison]

unfortunately for pretty much every weapon, importing the specular map and calling it a day is not enough .
Still have to make a metallic map out of it and also make multiple masks of the same map to get the material properties correct.
The crossbow is a great example
specular map split into multiple masks:

just the specular map as roughness

[willow fog]

spec =/= rough

[subtle bison]

hu

ye the specular map isnt a meant to be a roughness map but its all we have from the raw material pack

if you invert it, its very close to a roughness map

but you still have to fine tune it like i did in the 1st pic

scope uv is absolute fucked wtf

why does it have to be that small

ill probably have to make the body texture 8K and then manually fix the normal in photoshop or something

[subtle bison]

much better

got the scope fixed, looks somewhat ok at 4K

https://tenor.com/view/homelander-based-the-boys-homelander-the-boys-facts-gif-26206051

the lens is a separate mesh/material thank god

[near tartan]

my personal favorite weapon in hl2

[subtle bison]

yea i love it too

as simple as setting the roughness to 0 and removing the albedo

thank god Juniez made the lens mesh actually curved

dont need to use any normals

[winter radish]

Since Gmod RTX supports 64 bit
That means there could possibly be a MacOS port someday if MoltenVK gets the correct extensions

[subtle bison]

maybe lol

[winter radish]

I don’t know how I didn’t notice but apparently a ray query implementation got merged a year ago

[subtle bison]

did it? i tried indiana jones on my m4 pro and it wouldnt start

i dont remember what missing extension it was complaining about tho

[winter radish]

I believe there’s a bunch of other extensions missing

[subtle bison]

🤤

probably my best pass on the crossbow yet, fixed the emission leakage and the lens. I think its perfect

[lament quartz]

holds the heated metal

[subtle bison]

dw bro is calloused

[half viper]

lmao why did that video crash my discord

[subtle bison]

virus

[half viper]

https://tenor.com/view/ahoklollmao-noooo-nooo-noo-no-gif-17139315586294057944

[distant crystal]

Would be really cool if it didn't start glowing until it's placed into the crossbow

But that probably can't be done with just emissives inside remix

[subtle bison]

actually i think it can

one sec i think i messed up something that made it that way lol

when you fire the crossbow, it switches to a different hash

i forgot to disable the emissive map for that one

fixed now

[distant crystal]

BASED 😲😲😲

[drifting hinge]

what the based

[livid rapids]

I'll come back to remixing in the future but for now I don't want for these mods to go to waste, specially hands

So

[drifting hinge]

So

[drifting hinge]

👁️

[livid rapids]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3362043482 for this fella

[drifting hinge]

dont that already exist

[livid rapids]

I've shown them in the m4 and ak showcases

[drifting hinge]

crazy because i very clearly remember playing with them

Don't have gmod rtx installed anymore so it is what it is

[livid rapids]

Install is the same as the m4/ak, subscribe to the addon then drag and drop in your gmod rtx install folder

You know what I'll just make a google drive with all completed mods

[livid rapids]

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JoXPmS7qUe2FSPvqFpcgQTY64FiDHlFL?usp=sharing

there it is

for now that's all completed

mayyybe there's some stuff missing

no modern warfare base attachments, but singular weapons have all their respective attachments done

blueprints are sometimes accessed through the preset menu, or for the old ones like the pistols you need to equip each part like a normal attachment

[compact blaze]

has anyone here noticed an issue where gmod rtx has horrible fps unless its paused or in the context menu

even when u try have a low amount of addons installed

[drifting hinge]

whats your idea of low amount of addons

[subtle bison]

i noticed this before, but the fps difference wasnt that big

[compact blaze]

I think I have around 15-20 addons enabled rn

Maybe 25?

[subtle bison]

what is the fps ingame, vs paused

[subtle bison]

i have like 300 addons lol

[compact blaze]

I’ll check in a bit rq

[compact blaze]

wtf?

What card do u have

[drifting hinge]

bro gonna get jumped

[compact blaze]

This is for regular gmod or gmod rtx

[subtle bison]

rtx 2080, gmod rtx

the gpu isnt the issue here

i think its a addon bug (one of mine)

[compact blaze]

Damn even if I have like close to 50 addons my game just dies

Like this one map just refuses to load up without the fps going to like 3

[subtle bison]

[subtle bison]

the question is, what addons are they

arc9 weapons preload textures and they murder vram

[compact blaze]

Only base I have installed in mw19

Not including pre requisites

[subtle bison]

at 1080p DLSS perf i have 4gb used spawning in

2GB of that is preloaded stuff lol

[compact blaze]

No it’s not even a vram issue, my vram always stays at like 4-6gb but for some reason the game just dies in the fps either way

[subtle bison]

like immediately or after a while?

[compact blaze]

Immediately

I’ll show in a bit how it looks

[subtle bison]

if you toggle the view frustrum stuff, does it fix it?

i think there is/was a bug that would kill fps

other than that idk what would be causing it

[compact blaze]

Nah the remix settings are set to normal, I think it started happening after I messed with the remix addon settings a bit

After that even when I set it back the fps had been more subpar

[subtle bison]

you can always nuke the addon settings

one sec

replace client.vdf with the one in the gmrtx archive (same path)

same goes for server.vdf

[compact blaze]

Thx

[compact blaze]

How did u get that win xp look?

That goes hard

[subtle bison]

windowblinds
https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/

its a old program but it works well on windows 11

worth paying for imo

[compact blaze]

Nice

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison

[subtle bison]

did you change any of the the lithium settings?

also turn off the view frustrum stuff and see if it fixes it

[compact blaze]

lithium is still the same, issues occur with and without lithium

i actually enabled lithium to see if it'd help the issue

[compact blaze]

oh damn frustrum instantly fixed fps

[subtle bison]

yea then its some kind of bug with the think code

[compact blaze]

i wanna ask do u recommend having this enabled?

[subtle bison]

yes it needs to stay enabled

otherwise you'll get culling issues

cwr doesnt have any performance impact

[compact blaze]

shame since i do get culling issues without it on

[subtle bison]

there is a way to fix it but im trying to remember lol

toggle the advanced settings, drag all of the sliders to somewhere random, then set them back to the default pictured, type fr_refresh in the console

then reload the map

im probably once again gonna get rid of the automatic bounds changes and make it all static again

it'll fix the slowdown bug

[compact blaze]

thx

damn hdri looks gooooooood

[subtle bison]

weird that they dont work for me in that map

its that minecraft one from stanley parable right?

[compact blaze]

u have to set the sky manually which is just a blank blue texture

[subtle bison]

my poor gpu

it was never meant for 4K remix

[onyx ridge]

kinda tempted now to remix the minecraft building addon

[subtle bison]

and this is at ulta perrf

[onyx ridge]

using like, a pbr resource pack

[subtle bison]

i was literally about to test it lmao

[livid rapids]

may I suggest

https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/avpbr-retextured

[compact blaze]

what res are u playing at?

[livid rapids]

https://shaderlabs.org/wiki/LabPBR_Material_Standard

[subtle bison]

4K with DLSS ultra perf

i normally do a 1080p window with DLSS perf

[livid rapids]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/wmizs7/substance_3d_design_graph_for_to_convert_textures/

Okay this is interesting

labPBR (used in java pbr resourcepacks) is very strange but you can convert it to roughness metallic with is what minecraft RTX uses

[subtle bison]

peak architectural design

[winter radish]

This is messing with my brain

[livid rapids]

ooooooooor just use a bedrock RTX resourcepack

[winter radish]

They are pbr

[jade edge]

https://tenor.com/view/team-fortress2-engineer-gif-23869806

[compact blaze]

seeing properly shaded cod weapons in an mc map in gmod?

[livid rapids]

Bedrock RTX uses a Metallic/Emissive/Roughness packed texture so it should be 1-to-1

[winter radish]

Yes

[compact blaze]

who here is working on the hdri mod btw?

[subtle bison]

me

[compact blaze]

i wanna ask when do u plan on adding support for custom HDRI

[subtle bison]

its been on the backburner, just havent gotten to writing a guide yet

i assume custom as in import your own?

[compact blaze]

ya

look at this beauty

[willow fog]

Needs more window

[subtle bison]

definitely minecraft with shaders guys

[willow fog]

[lament quartz]

Right

[winter radish]

I need Minecraft Story Mode RTX

[subtle bison]

i've made bounds setting a little more intelligent, we now modify the existing bounds for every single object rather than setting a static size in all axis, performance jump is massive and that allows me to crank the size even on large maps

i should be able to remove these settings from the user since even dense maps run good with optimal settings

0.5.0 is looking to be a massive release

still wanna tackle displacements before i push it

[steel lark]

gyatt

the emissive is weird

24 HOUR SUN PROOF 100%

[subtle bison]

(he has found the animate button)

[steel lark]

indeed

[willow fog]

Did you do anything about the sky addon? Because it didn't work for me last time.

[subtle bison]

its working for everyone except you so i stopped looking into it

[willow fog]

🙂

[subtle bison]

you can try it again, something random could've fixed it

[willow fog]

Let me give it a shot. Is the remix addon updated?

I meant the fixes

[subtle bison]

iirc 0.4.1 is the latest, i dont remember what ver u tried it with last time

i would also try it with a updated ver of the game

if not already

also the install instructions are updated on the hdri page so check there too

[willow fog]

gotcha\

Making a new copy of gmod

[willow fog]

HOLY

SHIT

[subtle bison]

💀

make that 0 users with broken HDRI

yipeeee

[willow fog]

yi the fuck peeee

Jeez

[subtle bison]

how many times am i gonna get struck with placebo 💀

bounds setting was broken in that screenshot, i fixed it and we're back to poopoo performance

[drifting hinge]

whats goonin in the gmod rtx world

[subtle bison]

da stuff

[winter radish]

I still need to download it

Would be simpler with a dedicated Steam page /jk

[subtle bison]

i dont think facepunch would let that fly

[earnest yew]

my simple installer

[subtle bison]

i really dont want a steam page for this mod lol

gmod is a very different type of remix game, at least to me

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-santania-gabriel-dropout-evil-smile-creepy-smile-gif-17194877

It would be weird making a mod off a mod

[subtle bison]

its also gonna be a support nightmare

[near tartan]

Isn’t PreLude RTX a mod of a mod

Cause like, Prelude is a mod, and then RTX is also a mod

[winter radish]

Oh, wait
Technically not
I believe it’s made by the original Prelude team so wouldn’t it just be a remaster?

[near tartan]

Hmmm

[winter radish]

A remaster of a mod

[near tartan]

Black Mesa was also made by a team, right? but that’s considered a mod

Also PreLude is on Moddb, which implies it’s a mod

[winter radish]

Black Mesa I think is considered its own game
Especially since it’s allowed to charge money

[near tartan]

Hm

But that’s also listed as a mod on mod db

Maybe black mesa isn’t the best example

I suppose this would all come down to what’s considered a mod

Alright I suppose it’s a remaster because if you check Nvidias trailer they refer to it as a “remaster of the mod Portal: Prelude”

[willow fog]

What's that TV mod that y'all keep using

[drifting hinge]

bro doesnt know the super popular tv mod

[willow fog]

nope

[drifting hinge]

skill issue ong

[willow fog]

clearly

now what's the mod?

[drifting hinge]

idk

[lament quartz]

Its a mod, it exists

[willow fog]

It does, and I have it.

[willow fog]

HOW DO i MAKE SCREEN

BIIIIIIIG

[lament quartz]

For what

like this

idk what cr is using

I just have this

[lament quartz]

The second mod that says like more screens or something

[willow fog]

Need an accurate name. Workshop is full of garbage

and nextbots

[subtle bison]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3001397905&searchtext=media+player

dont use the OG one

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2546524440&searchtext=media+player

[willow fog]

awesome

[willow fog]

Now what's the wall mod?

[subtle bison]

?

that 2nd one is the one

[willow fog]

no like

this is what I get

[lament quartz]

[subtle bison]

press E 💀

while looking at it

[willow fog]

That is correct

But it's tine

That's what I'm saying

[subtle bison]

then spawn a bigger one?

[willow fog]

actually

[willow fog]

I only have that one

is the problem

[lament quartz]

Its in a different spawn menu

If you subbed to the add-ons

[willow fog]

That's one problem solved

learning how to play gmod with my best friend cr

[lament quartz]

Facepalm

[willow fog]

and bailey

Now my next question is

How do I freeze a prop in place

[subtle bison]

while holding a prop with the physgun, right click

[willow fog]

Thanks

[lament quartz]

How many gmod hour

[willow fog]

36

[lament quartz]

Cool, 36 seconds added to my patience

[compact blaze]

blooooooooom

[subtle bison]

this will be mw2 in 2012

[willow fog]

my computer is not puting come today

[drifting hinge]

dont look at the wall

[willow fog]

whyyyyyyyyyy

[compact blaze]

What’s wrong?

[willow fog]

Trying to use tf dlss

[livid rapids]

use this NVPI https://github.com/xHybred/NvidiaProfileInspectorRevamped/releases then select these presets

you'll have transformer model for both normal dlss and ray reconstruction on any game that you replace the DLLs

[subtle bison]

still doesnt seem to work fully for gmod x64

[compact blaze]

Someone should make a comparison between preset A and K of dlss to show how much it’s improved since preset A

[willow fog]

I can't

Why is it so hard for gmod64 to do anything

[subtle bison]

wdym

[willow fog]

Trying to get the tf rr to work

[subtle bison]

dlss 4 rr?

[willow fog]

yes

[subtle bison]

i wouldnt really blame the game lol, we're the only working x64 remix title i know of

[compact blaze]

Do you think someone has been able to get dlss preset k on original dlss gamss like bf5?

[subtle bison]

did you replace the DLLs?

[willow fog]

That's probably the only option left

[subtle bison]

thats what you have to do for remix

there is still issues with activating the new presets

tho i think @modern quest figured it out for gmod x64

but i couldnt get it working for me

[compact blaze]

How do you enable that debug message for dlss?

[subtle bison]

#offtopic-game-discussion message

oh wow i got it working

tho RR is still using CNN

[willow fog]

How, and how many infant children of mine do I have to offer to Jensen?

[subtle bison]

follow kim's guide
#offtopic-game-discussion message

[willow fog]

That's what I usually do

But it ain't working today

Frustrated sigh

[subtle bison]

prob best to wait for the portal rtx update

[willow fog]

Works just fine in portal 2

[subtle bison]

we can snatch its runtime build

[livid rapids]

I got it working before, but I used preset D on RR

I just followed a new guide, but that could work

I think it was SR preset J and RR preset D

I used another NVPI version tho, maybe it's that?

[willow fog]

Played portal 2 with preset j rr and preset k dlss

Switched to gmod

still preset c

I....

How?

[livid rapids]

make sure the gmod profile isn't overriding any global values

or otherwise that you're not just modifying the portal 2 or portal rtx profile

[willow fog]

I'm using nvpi

global profile

[livid rapids]

hmm

[willow fog]

Literally everythig else is using the correct dlss

[winter radish]

DLSS? What’s that

Native 480p is the way

[willow fog]

I just want preset j rr

[subtle bison]

think ill settle on this for the view frustrum stuff

i added a quality preset menu

the higher the settings, the further away objects cull

at the cost of fps depending on the map

gonna also add per-map presets so you dont have to constantly change them

they will have to be set by the user though

[subtle bison]

yipee

it defaults to the lowest when loading a map that isnt added

so large maps wont kill your game the moment you load in

@jade edge I'm planning on replacing the default gmod logo ingame with your gmod rtx one, is that ok to package into my mod?

ill give credits on the github page as well

[jade edge]

dude, its whole point is to be used, i always love to see my creations outside of some local places, hence why i loved to see my GTA IV DE logo one day at some video

[subtle bison]

made a new sandbox logo

need to add the inner line but i think i got it pretty close

there we go

definitely did not repost

🙂

ok so gmod does not auto scale images lmao

better

branding done

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-smug-smile-miss-kobayashi-kobayashisan-chi-no-maid-dragon-gif-13119038

Just saying, Steam

[winter radish]

Wonder if you could get custom backgrounds using Remix screenshots

[subtle bison]

we can

[winter radish]

Awesome

[subtle bison]

would be cool to have a screenshot contest at one point

bringing back custom displacement rendering, im gonna regret this 😅

found the stupid cvar to disable the engine ones so its possible again

[winter radish]

Btw, found out facepunch has all their legal info on things like modding their games: https://github.com/Facepunch/Legal

[subtle bison]

aside from legal stuff, i still dont wanna put it on steam as its going to be a support nightmare as i said before

i think i would quit this project immediately if i had to help the entire gmod userbase with this mod

too toxic for me

[winter radish]

Lmao

I guess the best thing would to work on improving the installer in any way

[subtle bison]

I can create a installer to make things more polished, but its not really a priority atm

installation is already easy

[winter radish]

The only thing I want is for updates to be easier

[subtle bison]

hm? wdym

its just drag n drop for a update

same for installation

do you mean like automatic updates?

[winter radish]

Ye

[subtle bison]

maybe one day?

the benefit with how things are now is that everything is static, as long as the gmod install isnt being updated by steam, nothing ever breaks over time

[willow fog]

So well said that I'm speechless

I've been thru the nightmare of support

Not recommended

[compact blaze]

It’s weird that sometimes people forget that

People are contributing to free open source software, for free

[modern quest]

people are selfish

[willow fog]

And stupid

Many people here don't realize that most people just don't know how computers work

[subtle bison]

hence my favoritism towards having this mod a little kept secret

i wont stop anyone from pushing it out to a larger audience, but it was designed for people who know how computers and gmod works

[willow fog]

(I don't know how gmod works)

[compact blaze]

Exiled /j

[subtle bison]

(dw you can learn)

🙂

[willow fog]

I am

I now know that I can hold c to do things

[compact blaze]

It’s a shame sometimes people don’t realize that all you need to do when you genuinely find an issue in the program is either calmly bring it up or report it to the relevant places

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-hmm-rpx_syria-gif-19045009

[compact blaze]

can I click a button in the remix app to tell it to make a realistic gun mod for me?

[winter radish]

(It’s funny how I’ll spend more money on publishing Remix apps than buying a GPU)

[subtle bison]

(dont let her)
(turn the blender on)

[willow fog]

I advice against doing so. You'll be stuck in tech support hell

[subtle bison]

yeah the only remix mods that should be published is ones that are a closed platform

like singleplayer stuff (that isnt gmod)

[winter radish]

I think I can handle, I have a high tolerance towards dealing with people

[subtle bison]

i dont

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/trade-offer-gif-21546586

[subtle bison]

no

there is no trade offer lmao

[winter radish]

Lol

[willow fog]

Back in the hay day on my nfs mod, I'd get 5+ DMs when I had very clearly stated that people ask for help directly in the thread. I thought I had a high tolerance too.

Wore me the fuck out in like 3 days

even this guy came here asking for help

https://tenor.com/view/muta-laugh-gif-18813278

[subtle bison]

im sure ill get my moment when some rando large gmod youtuber makes a video of my compat mod

im just gonna keep spamming the github known issues section lmao

[modern quest]

or phones

i asked someone how they think wifi works and literally all they could say was "magic" lmao

[willow fog]

I would reply every dm with this

[subtle bison]

LMFAO

[winter radish]

Your telling me there is no port button that brings a game to a phone? Lol

[willow fog]

That "RTX 3060 work well with remix on ug2?" dm made my blood boil with anger

idk why

[willow fog]

mhm.

[subtle bison]

for me its probably gonna be addon requests

WILL THIS ARC9 WEPAON MOD WORK WITH REMIX?

WQHY IS VFIRE NOT WORKIG

[willow fog]

It's weird to think about because most active people in this server are very knowledgeable about tech, but once you get exposed to the actual consumer base, you find out just how tech illiterate people are.

[willow fog]

"HAVE YOU TRIED????? "

[subtle bison]

i work with tech illiterate people as my day job

i do not want to be dealing with them after hours

[willow fog]

I feel sorry about u

[subtle bison]

i should probably make some kind of disclaimer that warns users to learn about how remix works before continuing to use the mod

idk where i would put it without it being a nag

[modern quest]

there probably is but it doesn't work 😛

[modern quest]

big text on the background of the main menu

[subtle bison]

"WHEN WILL REMIX WORK ON WINULATOR, I HABE REDMI NOTE 20"

[modern quest]

no but really having it in the bottom right would probably do the job

[subtle bison]

i think i can edit the main menu html to do that

[willow fog]

hahahaha

[winter radish]

Lmao

Winlator would actually probably work if it ever merges the latest Mesa stuff

[subtle bison]

does adreno even support RT extensions

[winter radish]

Through freedreno, yes

[subtle bison]

sweet

[winter radish]

Most modern snapdragon chips have hardware RT

It’s weird because Freedreno supports more Vulkan RT extensions than regular Android Vulkan

[subtle bison]

not surprised lol

vendor drivers are a mess on android

[winter radish]

Honestly if you don't want to manage a Steam release, I could manage it and you just manage the open source stuff
just putting that out there

[subtle bison]

I personally think its something that does not need to be on steam

[winter radish]

Anyway, I'll drop the topic now since I don't want to be pushy

[subtle bison]

getting closer 👀

1st is my renderer, 2nd is the engine

[modern quest]

isn't that what emulators use?

[subtle bison]

yea

[modern quest]

like Dolphin

yeah. it's pretty cool that it can work that way

i have a Pixel 4 XL. think Remix would work on there? 😛

[winter radish]

I think Google uses their own chips

[subtle bison]

1 frame per month

pixel 4 uses snapdragon

[winter radish]

Oh, nice that they switched

[subtle bison]

but i think the SoC is a little too old for any recent VK extensions

[modern quest]

they switched with the pixel 6 to their own SoC iirc

[subtle bison]

correct

[modern quest]

this phone is from 2019

mine has a Snapdragon 855

[subtle bison]

arguably the tensor SoC's are worse than their snapdragon counterparts

mostly because they're based on exynos

🥹

vk driver support is also worse

[modern quest]

after they switched, the amount of issues people had with Pixel phones seemed to go up lol

[winter radish]

oof, before RT support

Someone ran Quake 2 RTX on their Samsung

[subtle bison]

ye they had a rooted tablet with a native linux chroot

winulator would probably get nowhere close to the perf of that

[modern quest]

ya

what was their FPS?

[winter radish]

I have seen a video of someone else running it at a somewhat stable 30

[modern quest]

interesting

[winter radish]

Tho it was like 50% of 720p

[modern quest]

my 1070 ti could only do like 30 FPS at 720p iirc lol

[winter radish]

Well it’s also Software vs Hardware

[modern quest]

nope

even worse lmao

[modern quest]

yeah i was just thinking about the gap there. mobile device running at like 10w at most vs a desktop GPU 😛

[winter radish]

That would actually be better, you can upscale 540p to 1080p and that’s 50% of 1080p

I’d recommend just using dynamic resolution

[modern quest]

oh i meant worse than i remembered

not worse than the tablet

[winter radish]

Oh, lol

[willow fog]

okay

I have achieved greatness

I think

[modern quest]

like you hadn't already 😛

[willow fog]

Now hold on

Always so quick to judge

[modern quest]

that was a compliment lol

[willow fog]

Perfection

(I know the video is too compressed, okay?)

[subtle bison]

i think you've gone insane

/s

[jade edge]

Just doing stuff, don't mind it

[willow fog]

I just finished atomic heart dlc3. Let me indulge

[subtle bison]

in a killing spree? I thought you liked the robots

[willow fog]

I uh

ummmm

dw about it

[willow fog]

yw

[jade edge]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-robot-you-are-a-friend-i-will-not-kill-you-captain-gif-17925441

[subtle bison]

custom displacement renderer pretty much perfecto

no more culling period for world geometry

🥳

[willow fog]

Eh?

[subtle bison]

let me put it in english: bla bla bla techy stuff bla bla, thingymajig look better 🪨 🗿

lol the entire game is now rendered with my lua code

nothing in this screenshot is from the engine

[willow fog]

Now pick an arc9 gun and press right click

[subtle bison]

i can technically fix it, but that would mean i have to include arc9 code into my addon and im sure the creator of arc9 would not like that

🙂

[willow fog]

I love shiny things and colorful lights. If only there was a game....

[subtle bison]

@willow fog u can hide the tile texture with the color tool by setting the alpha to 0

but you gotta do it behind the screen

[willow fog]

Time to relaunch gmod

And find the color tool

And figure out how it works

[subtle bison]

one sec

ill record a short vid

i wouldnt ignore the texture in remix as other addons use this texture

[willow fog]

And no way to make the video opaque?

[subtle bison]

uhh yea one sec

just make the tiles black

idk why the actual video has alpha

its something weird with the addon

[willow fog]

That's one way to do it

You know, setting the video texture as ui does make it opaque

[subtle bison]

then it looks like ass

[willow fog]

But it stops path tracing

yeah

[subtle bison]

iirc there is a ignore alpha tag in the runtime

but i think it does something weird with the video texture

[subtle bison]

hold C while looking at it

when it says no media playing

[fallow mesa]

do I have to hide that texture?

[willow fog]

Ah. The uncle burrito tag

[subtle bison]

with the color tool shown above

not with remix

and do it behind the video player

its two props merged

[subtle bison]

make it black instead

[subtle bison]

^

[subtle bison]

lol wut

[subtle bison]

guess there is no perfect solution

[fallow mesa]

oh I solved it

[subtle bison]

oh the material tool works?

it was broken for me the last time i tried it

ok nvm

not even gonna wonder why its fixed now

[subtle bison]

@willow fog arc9_fx_adsblur 0

gonna put it inside the config file for the 0.5.0 release

[willow fog]

@livid rapids

[livid rapids]

You got me interested now

[subtle bison]

pls nuke your remixbinary folder inside addons before installing this update, renamed a addon and it will conflict with the old file
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/releases/tag/gmrtx64_0.5.0

[subtle bison]

hmm

100 so far, no crashes lol

functionality-wise, they're a little more broken than the previous release, you cant move em and undoing is broken

but the hope is that you can spawn like 5 before the game dies

also i just pulled the noCEF release, looks like it crashes with the latest version of the game

i cant do much to support it since it already uses downgraded game binaries anyway lol

[steel lark]

W

@subtle bison can you make the launcher close after starting the game pretty please?

[subtle bison]

at some point ye

[steel lark]

yayyyyy

fiat uno with

hdri

also @subtle bison how do you make mirrors now?

roughness 0 and metallic 1 is that material on the car up there

[subtle bison]

uhh i havent really dabbled there

i think for perfect mirror it requires modifying the mod usda as the toolkit cant do it

someone in this channel from a year ago figured it out

might be best to ask in #asset-creation

[steel lark]

actually that was how you made a perfect mirror

but it no longer works

[subtle bison]

would still ask in that channel then

[steel lark]

yeah

[steel lark]

that's happening to me too

also happening in godot for some reason

[subtle bison]

does it get stuck or is it just a visual bug

[steel lark]

visual bug

it happens only vertically

[subtle bison]

^ @fallow mesa

you did get over 5 lights so technically my hard work paid off 🤣 /s

[fallow mesa]

oh I can understand

when I close and open it quickly

[subtle bison]

ye its a bit buggy, just pause your game and then close it

i need to find a way to get the game to open the remix menu via the api so i dont have to use weird workarounds

the functionality doesnt exist but i can probably implement it at one point

[steel lark]

you know what

i think it might be a graphics card driver bug

or smth like that

oops

idk if i can swear

[subtle bison]

you're done for buddy

[steel lark]

😭

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/low-tier-god-meme-mods-gif-14385308006689816010

[steel lark]

it's haunting me

oh it happens horizontally too

[subtle bison]

i dont even know what im supposed to be seeing here

[steel lark]

damn i inverted the directions nvmd

[steel lark]

how?

[subtle bison]

cuz my eyes are shit and these UI bugs are microscopic

actually i dont think i have this issue at all

[steel lark]

yeah

i got it apparently after updating my drivers

[subtle bison]

ty nvidia

[steel lark]

but i noticed it on godot

look at this

[subtle bison]

yea thats some weird corruption

[steel lark]

mine is worse 💀

[subtle bison]

how did nvidia fuck up the driver that bad

glad i havent updated yet lol

[fallow mesa]

i think it's weird

[steel lark]

you THINK?

[fallow mesa]

maybe at your windows

[steel lark]

???

[subtle bison]

just roll back the driver i guess lol

[fallow mesa]

i always use the latest😆

what's it for?

[steel lark]

BRUH

[fallow mesa]

It's normal now

🤣

i haven't done anything yet

[subtle bison]

how far away objects should be culled
lower = closer to you, less visual quality but better perf
higher = further away, less visible culling of map props, but worse perf depending on the map

the help message below the preset selector says that as well

you can set that per map

as some maps run fine cranked, some run like ass

[fallow mesa]

yeah but most of the map works well

[subtle bison]

it sets low for all maps by default, so all will run well

but you will notice culling with static props with maps that use a lot

[runic gale]

idk why 32-Bit Gmod Mods wouldn't work with 64-Bit Gmod (RTX Remix mods* it's is because of different hashes?)

[willow fog]

Yes

[runic gale]

darn.

Because 64-Bit is more stable

[subtle bison]

modern x32 and x64 share the same hashes, but there was a gmod update on dec 8 that changed it for everyone

[winter radish]

Facepunch sabotage

[willow fog]

Hey @subtle bison Small thing I wanted to ask about

[subtle bison]

[willow fog]

I wanted to take some reference mode screenshots but when I pause the game, the dark effect shows up on top.

[drifting hinge]

the

[willow fog]

Which is an issue because it messes up with moving objects

pluh

[subtle bison]

bindtoggle "[" "r_drawvgui"

[willow fog]

epic

[subtle bison]

if you press the bracket key, it should toggle the game ui

so when you pause, nothing shows

[willow fog]

Ain't

[subtle bison]

ye i edited the message

had to remove the 0

[willow fog]

epic

thx son

Epic

Too bad there aren't any fov controls on the freecam

[subtle bison]

there is

if ur talking about the gmod camera weapon

hold right click while on the camera tool, move your mouse back and forth

to reset

press r

[willow fog]

Yeah I'm using that instead now

Better

I'm gonna take a bunch of screenshots and dump them here

[subtle bison]

might wanna remove the dlss hud

[willow fog]

Gotta flex that 1440p dlaa

[drifting hinge]

gmod with goonrtx

[willow fog]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-fight-gif-21912966

[subtle bison]

what caused that lol

[willow fog]

Selected these as worldspaceui

[subtle bison]

does it always happen? thats a weird remix crash

[willow fog]

HOW THE FUCK DO I MOVE THIS SHIOT

[willow fog]

I pressed ignore a couple times and it's working fine

WHY must I suffer?

[subtle bison]

is it freezing every time you try to move it?

[willow fog]

Not remix

General gmopd question

how do I pose shit

[subtle bison]

id prob google a tutorial

i dont know the neuances of that stuff

[willow fog]

That's what I was about to do but I got distracted by a new fnaf trailer

https://youtu.be/RB4fLULpI4U

[subtle bison]

@fringe ingot happy birthday

[fringe ingot]

Thank you

[willow fog]

@subtle bison PLEASE tell me there's a redo button in gmod

[subtle bison]

i think there is an addon, but by default no

[willow fog]

I'm truly fucked

why is undo bound to just z???

[subtle bison]

[compact blaze]

What happened?

[willow fog]

Spent half an hour posing and then everything diead

[subtle bison]

use the save system often

my best advice

[willow fog]

Welp

Time to redo

[willow fog]

Hey CR

How do I delete RTXLights?

Because undo doesn't do anything

@subtle bison

Ping cr again

[drifting hinge]

@subtle bison

[willow fog]

@subtle bison

[drifting hinge]

the cyber terrorism

[subtle bison]

@willow fog @drifting hinge

tl;dr they're still broken

[willow fog]

So what now

[drifting hinge]

reddit gold awarded

[willow fog]

I have this big ass light that I accidentally placed

[subtle bison]

make a save, exit the map, load the save

ill summon kim if yall keep pinging ☺️

[drifting hinge]

the demon

[willow fog]

cry about it

how do I sabe

save

[subtle bison]

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=how+to+make+a+save+in+gmod

[willow fog]

this website is broken

has been for a while

[subtle bison]

well you already get the gist

google it

[willow fog]

ah

that was easy

awesome

rtxlight crash

[subtle bison]

hmm, its almost like i said its unstable and wip like 100 times here and in the github readme

[willow fog]

You render in blender. I render in Gmod

I know the pose is shitty

Couldn't bother

gmod posing is crap

[drifting hinge]

bro why is this in here

when i enter the channel

[subtle bison]

the fucking sideways dlss hud lmao

[willow fog]

dw about that

[subtle bison]

did you only pose with the physgun?

[willow fog]

No, no

I downloaded a posing addon

It was okay

[drifting hinge]

a posing addon

[subtle bison]

i use ragdoll mover for my posing

[willow fog]

But having to use wasd to move around the model to move gizmos is pain

[willow fog]

Yeah that

[subtle bison]

there is prob better tools but thats out of my scope

[willow fog]

I'd rather make renders in blender anyways

[steel lark]

why is the culling so aggresive?

oops

just found the setting

[drifting hinge]

massive prop jumpscare

[subtle bison]

this looks like that lithium bug

i dont think i have any handling for physics props atm

[steel lark]

making it the high preset fixes it

[subtle bison]

ye but physics props shouldnt even be affected by that 👁️

[steel lark]

😬

[steel lark]

i can't get frigging jolt physics out of my gmod rtx 😭

[subtle bison]

what is the prop that u spawned?

the one that culls in front of you

[steel lark]

it's a dupe

[subtle bison]

send the link if u can

if its on the workshop

[steel lark]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3420321802&searchtext=smokestack

[subtle bison]

also u did delete the old view frustrum addon as instructed right?

[steel lark]

remixbinary?

[subtle bison]

ye

[steel lark]

yeah

[subtle bison]

oh that is weird

[steel lark]

this also happens with displacements tho i think that's intentional right?

[subtle bison]

ye displacements are still being actively worked on

[steel lark]

well atleast it happend before

i'll test it again

[subtle bison]

for that dupe, i think the bound origin is like super high up

which is why its getting culled

cuz normal props are fine, its literally just this dupe lol

[steel lark]

the props it uses are really big

[subtle bison]

still dont know why it respects the rtx view frustrum stuff

but cool ig

[steel lark]

that still happens on very high 🤨

[subtle bison]

is this a map with displacements or is it a prop

ok its a map

as i said, the displacement stuff is being worked on, there is nothing atm to prevent culling

[steel lark]

what do i assign the grass things in the displacements?

[subtle bison]

?

[steel lark]

these

[subtle bison]

decals

[steel lark]

decals?

ok

[subtle bison]

ye

[steel lark]

oh they already are marked as such

[subtle bison]

ye

[steel lark]

they don't look good tho

they stand out

way too much

[subtle bison]

only way to really fix it is replace them with a mesh

2D card props are always gonna look weird with a path tracer

[steel lark]

they actually look pretty good without any assignment

[subtle bison]

still looks a bit jarring to me

the alpha sorting is all messed up

[steel lark]

ehh better than before

is there any way to remove it?

(the grass 2d card things)

[subtle bison]

ignore the texture in the runtime

[steel lark]

💀

forgor

[compact blaze]

Nah don’t do that they got some real juicy drama with @willow fog trust

[willow fog]

That is true

Don't read our DMs

A lot of accusations and pleading and apologies

[subtle bison]

(i have never dm'ed uncle ever in my life)

[compact blaze]

Idk about the whole “just google it lol” thing, like most of the time at least personally, I feel more naturally and easily inclined to just speak to a human directly about a topic of question I’m interested in whether it’s a close friend or someone I respect, like I’m sure they asked you about saves to just continue the conversation they were having with you with the lights

Sry for the text wall in advance

i feel like with uncle it was necessary lol
