[compact blaze]

I wonder have the remix devs ever stated the possibility of detecting pre existing normal maps in a game and applying them accordingly

[willow fog]

Converting the format on the fly?

phew

[steel lark]

LMAO (this is on the toolkit)

why is the crowbar there???

there's literally nothing here

[subtle bison]

you probably marked your character as a player model in the runtime

[compact blaze]

Prob sounds very stupid but what makes albedo maps automatically work while normal maps wont even be detected

[subtle bison]

prob something the nvidia devs know more about

i imagine albedos are technically less complicated to detect? idfk

[willow fog]

Normal maps are in all sorts of different formats so converting them in real-time to octahedral is not performant

Not to mention that you'll have to figure out what format the original game uses

NOT NOT to mention that games often use a number of other optimisations like removing the b channel

[compact blaze]

Shame

[subtle bison]

grunkle groito giving some solid info

[compact blaze]

I wonder has someone tried extracting hl2 materials to add into remix and see what it looks like, ik it’s kinda weird but I wonder what’d it look like

To have those old materials work in remix cause I think the bump map could be used as a normal map?

[subtle bison]

source has normal maps in addition to bump maps

happy birthday

[onyx ridge]

oh wait it's a birthday

https://tenor.com/view/mario-birthday-melee-smash-bros-super-mario-gif-21199033

[heady reef]

is this a know bug?

(double hands)

arc9

also, my friend's game is closing instantly with no error log or anything, x64 version

anyone familar with this error
Thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access

[subtle bison]

arc9_fx_adsblur 0

[heady reef]

thanks!

[subtle bison]

they should probably do a clean install of the game with only the required addons, i've never seen it before

[heady reef]

yeah, we tried, with the linked collection with just the four addons

he downloaded x64 and x64 vcredist, and the 2015-2022

restarted

[subtle bison]

hmm i can see if something broke with the newest gmod update

[subtle bison]

also this should be fixed with the newest 0.5.0 ver of the compat mod, is that the one you installed?

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/releases/tag/gmrtx64_0.5.0

[heady reef]

yeah, just installed today for the first time

[subtle bison]

just tried fresh install with 0.5.0, its working fine for me

even with all of my addons enabled

[heady reef]

let me check the readme again and see if i missed something, mine worked other than arc

my friend, cant load in

[subtle bison]

even arc9 is working right for me, yall dont have anything that might override the files?

[heady reef]

i dont think so

[subtle bison]

did yall rename the game folder to something else so steam doesnt try to update it?

[heady reef]

both uninstalled and manually deleted, and no

oh

wait are we supposed to?

[subtle bison]

yea it said in the readme, steam updating the game with the compat mod installed will break stuff

[heady reef]

shit thats mb

[subtle bison]

probably why the arc9 settings didnt get carried over as well

all good

just rename the game, and reinstall the mod

[heady reef]

will do, thanks

[jade edge]

Tbh you could use just usual logo of mine, but that'll work as well, after all its still uses my logo, so i'm okay with that

[subtle bison]

he's using the modified one i made for the main menu so it matches the original aesthetic

[quiet scroll]

YAYY NEW RELEASE

What addon had the changed name?

[subtle bison]

view frustrum

optimize as the name didnt really make sense

speaking of, it seems to be a bit broken

I adjusted it so it only modifies render bounds horizontally instead of x, y, z, and i guess that caused some underlying issues

ill push a hotfix rq

its really just making the minium object and light render bounds setting to 512

so for now just use the medium preset

it does this already

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/releases/tag/gmrtx64_0.5.1

[subtle bison]

is this with the hotfix?

[fallow mesa]

yes 0.5.1

[subtle bison]

is this set to 512?

[subtle bison]

try changing it to another preset and then back to low

i just had the same issue but that fixed it for me

[subtle bison]

the flickering meshes?

oh

ye its happening to me on a fresh build still

[fallow mesa]

It's weird that when I'm around, it disappears

[subtle bison]

i did not test this as much as i thought i did lmao

i might push another hotfix that puts the old ver of view frustrum back

depends on how quick i can fix this

[subtle bison]

i fixed it

im waiting for the new release to finish uploading

[subtle bison]

@fallow mesa
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/releases/tag/gmrtx64_0.5.2

[fallow mesa]

looks like it's working 😄

[subtle bison]

oh thank god

😅

gm_serena_v1 relit via the toolkit

looks very cozy

[subtle bison]

damn media player doesnt work with my jellyfin server 😭

[modern quest]

https://github.com/prayag17/Blink

there's this alternate frontend i was just testing

it's pretty unstable lol, but it mght work there

[subtle bison]

hu? i just need a way to get the media player addon to recognize the stuff im playing

it plays fine in that preview window

i guess how jellyfin serves it via the web interface doesnt match whatever requirements it needs

[modern quest]

yeah that's what i mean. so this alternate interface might work?

[subtle bison]

that seems to be a desktop interface?

oh its not

💀

mb

lemme try hosting it

[livid rapids]

wait don't you need CodecFix for that

[modern quest]

it is a desktop app, but it just uses react underneath

[livid rapids]

Does it just work

[subtle bison]

yea, but i installed codecfix too

no changes for the jellyfin stuff at least

[livid rapids]

media player has a command that lets you add any webpage

can't remember the concmd now

[subtle bison]

mediaplayer_allow_webpages ?

just found it by pure chance

[livid rapids]

mediaplayer_allow_webpages

yea

[subtle bison]

hmm its set to 1 but i still cant request the page

it might be because its http and not https

ye even request URLs dont work

i wonder if i had the server self-signed with a cert, maybe it would work

wish i could just load the actual jellyfin page on there somehow

💀

now if i only could press play

omfg

tactical ass rip

[rich glen]

the day when 3dskyboxes are working without any problem has come 😭 (sorry for bad quality btw i dont have discord nitro)

[modern sparrow]

a video i can actually play that doesn't require me to convert it to mp4 from HEVC or whatever discord has [impossible] a majority of this chats videos are sadly whatever that format is but this looks pretty nice. i honestly would try RTX gmod but my issue that stops me from using it is like i feel like there needs to be a way [inless there is] to launch the game non rtx remixed and a way to kinda like how steam has that thing were its like select what program yah want to launch or set X as default.

[compact blaze]

Damn how’d you get it working?

[subtle bison]

r_3dsky 1

[subtle bison]

unfortunately afaik there is no way to modify launch settings for vanilla gmod. But the install guide for x64 tells you to make a separate gmod install for rtx so steam updates dont break it. You can add the gmod rtx launcher as a non steam game like one user did here

[subtle bison]

^

[modern sparrow]

i mean ideally id want RTX gmod to have its own set of addons but then that would require me to like unpack mods and manually add them to the RTX remix gmod via addons if i didnt want the two sharing mods though anything downloaded via steam workshop would still show up

[subtle bison]

just disable addons you dont want?

why have separate addons? the majority work
just curious

[modern sparrow]

just a personal thing plus given how i play gmod alot still that would be alot of back and forth type stuff from disabling to enabling again given i wouldnt always be on RTX gmod or vice verse

ill probs check out gmod RTX at somepoint tbh kinda been lurking in this server to see if maybe one day someone will get wolf 2009 to work tbh lol ..... but on the topic of this chat does make me wonder if nzombies would work with rtx remix id think it would dont see why it wouldnt.

[subtle bison]

I tried nzombies a month or two ago and it just seemed broken on its own

bunch of lua errors, even when selecting the game mode and a supported map

could've still been some kind of skill issue, lmk if you ever get around to trying it

[quartz abyss]

Hi everybody. What should I do if the hash of textures from the enhanced assets mods differs from the hash of textures in the game? Should I replace the texture file names and the names in the replacements.usda file every time?

[subtle bison]

yeah pretty much

[drifting hinge]

yurp

[meager oar]

does fallback lighting settings dnt wrk in x64?

[compact blaze]

hm

[subtle bison]

its a bug with the custom world renderer, it doesn't like it when the 3d skybox is enabled on some maps

i haven't looked into fixing it yet

[modern sparrow]

ment to ask but which nzombies cause the original hasnt been updated in years im pretty sure. the new one is nzombies rezzurrection and well nzombies unlimited was abandoned didnt even have core cod zombies features.

[subtle bison]

iirc it was rezzurrection, but i could be wrong

[subtle bison]

i dont see why they wouldnt?

[modern sparrow]

that would suck if it doesnt work with NZR cause thats what most of my gmod is lol just abunch of nzr related things maps for configs weapons for those map configs props ect ect going to make some halo flood nzr configs soon. tho and already got a cod ghost extinction config made would be really nice to see them in rtx remix lighting though idk how this sky would react to that ive seen remix be abit mean to skys in games [aka messing them up]

if i get around to it [and im not no expert] would be interesting to see my config in rtx remix if NZR works

[subtle bison]

i dont think my issues were related to remix, just prob a config issue on my end

[compact blaze]

damn the camera view being path traced works automatically?

[drifting hinge]

the render target in question

[subtle bison]

ye but for some reason worldmodels show up, not sure why

(the pistol in front of your hands)

[steel lark]

Just disable pseudoweapon

[subtle bison]

isnt it off by default?

[steel lark]

Yes but he probably enabled it to see himself in shadows/mirrors

[subtle bison]

im pretty sure this is just a bug with rendertarget screens

i remember having it too

[steel lark]

Ohh

Really? That’s weird

Oh also one time I joined a server an it worked but I don’t think every required addon is clientside only right?

[subtle bison]

ye, majority is clientside

[compact blaze]

nah i didn't

[steel lark]

really??

i didn't think that was the case wow

[subtle bison]

ye, i have like 1 serverside addon and its for inspecting materials

its not needed at all for anything tho, just debug

[steel lark]

hell yeah

[subtle bison]

wait do clientside addons work independently of server addons?

i have not tried mp at all

[steel lark]

they seem to work for the most part

i mean it would have definetly crashed in this map with a guy shooting the smg that shoots smgs that constantly shoot bullets

if it wasn't for the rtx addons stuff

idk the name

[subtle bison]

nah it wouldnt, we have patched files that prevent crashes

its not the addons

[steel lark]

well but i works either way

you know

actually this map doesn't work in singleplayer

[subtle bison]

hu it should

[steel lark]

but it did that time in multiplayer

oops old version

let me update

do i need to nuke anything?

[subtle bison]

the remixbinary folder for safe measure

[steel lark]

nvmd

[subtle bison]

looking at this screenshot again, i can clearly see the map culling lol
the addons are not loaded

[steel lark]

just saw it

[steel lark]

awh

sad

i bet there's a way to load them

but ig it's kinda hacking

[subtle bison]

idk maybe

[steel lark]

but honestly

you can see through walls with rtx remix

so

also never test rtx remix in an actual server

since those probably have vac

[subtle bison]

gmod has vac but it isnt used

you dont need to worry about getting banned lol

[steel lark]

why?

that's so weird

[subtle bison]

idk ask facepunch

[steel lark]

but can people with a vac ban play gmod?

[subtle bison]

prob not

i just know VAC banning aint a thing on gmod

i kinda have my doubts force loading my addons on a server, one of them involves destroying static props on a map and respawning them with modified render bounds. I dont see how that would work in MP lol

also now that i think about it, that addon should become a server-side one as that makes a lot more sense thinking about it 💀

[steel lark]

remixbinary?

[steel lark]

i mean it's good having it clientside because otherwise it would mess other peoples games when they join my server when i have rtx

[subtle bison]

garrysmod/addons/remixbinary

[steel lark]

why did you send this?

[subtle bison]

you said remixbinary? i assumed you were asking where its located or something

[steel lark]

it was if this addon is the remixbinary addon

[subtle bison]

oh nah i meant like a individual addon inside of remixbinary

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/blob/main/addon/lua/autorun/client/cl_rtx_force_viewfrustrum.lua

i was talking about the forced view frustrum addon becoming serverside

[steel lark]

also i think you ignored a texture in gm_construct that is part of the wall

[steel lark]

are individual files addons?

[subtle bison]

i like to think of them as seperate yea, they ones in the client folder dont have any shared libs

[subtle bison]

screenshot?

[steel lark]

wait a sec

oh opposite actually

detail that wasn't marked

[subtle bison]

not surprised

there is like 1000 of them

[steel lark]

there's really nothing to do about details only manually marking them?

[subtle bison]

i think i can make a simple addon that removes them but i havent looked into it yet

[steel lark]

that would be really cool because they can be a pain

also where did that autoexec with ent_remove_all func_reflective_glass go?

didn't rtx remix installer have it?

[subtle bison]

autoexec never had it, and it wouldnt work there anyway

[steel lark]

oh so was it an addon?

[subtle bison]

ye, i think its still there

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/blob/main/addon/lua/autorun/server/sv_remove_entities.lua

ye at least on git it is

[steel lark]

but some maps i still need to manually do it?

[subtle bison]

you shouldnt

[steel lark]

let me test it again

shouldn't need to or shouldn't do it?

[subtle bison]

you shouldnt have to manually do it, its supposed to catch all of them

if it doesnt work ill look into it

i dont have access to my pc atm

[steel lark]

oh yeah it works

is that new?

idk never seemed to work before

[subtle bison]

its been there for a while lol

[steel lark]

weird

why is it so laggy in this tiny map?

[subtle bison]

i cant tell if the video is lagging or your fps

is the stuttering ingame?

[steel lark]

you can see the fps in the net_graph

[steel lark]

yeah

i can share my screen if you want

that will make it worse tho lmao

[subtle bison]

nah i know why now lol

this map is unoptimized as shit lmfao

[steel lark]

wow really?

[subtle bison]

engine is shitting itself with the culling modifications

[steel lark]

lmao

[subtle bison]

you can turn off the view frustrum stuff and it should be smoother

i only know one other map that does this

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3259200205&searchtext=pool

[steel lark]

the other one is gm_wwhouse_cs btw

gm_dolores my beloved child

[drifting hinge]

why so shiny

[steel lark]

why so serious

[drifting hinge]

smiles like the joker

[steel lark]

*jonkler

@subtle bison

[drifting hinge]

smiles like the stroker

[steel lark]

uhhhh

[drifting hinge]

why playa model like dat

[steel lark]

little omnious

that happened with the map when i placed 2 lights

one face of the skybox dissapeared and everything else you can see in the video

lmao

[subtle bison]

ye they're very wip

they can easily break the fabric of reality

[steel lark]

ohhh noo

lmao

[drifting hinge]

the evil lights

[heady reef]

My bud is getting a "directory not found" error x64 newest, he wasnt able to before the update either

Error: Game directory not found

[subtle bison]

sounds like a installation issue?

make sure they have the x64 branch

also make sure the launcher is in the right place

so uhh

this is weird

screenshots work if the context menu is open

wonder if i can make some kind of invisible vgui element each time the player takes a screenshot so it fixes it

would be kind've a hack but hey working screenshots would be nice

[heady reef]

all above are good

[subtle bison]

if its still happening there is something wrong with their gmod install

all the launcher looks for is bin/win64/gmod.exe

[subtle bison]

ok nvm i have no idea why screenshots work

i bound the screenshot command to F12 to emulate the overlay and that works too wtf

the camera tool just seems to break screenshots

super weird

ill add this to the autoexec

[willow fog]

Hey @livid rapids can you find the arm textures for this guy?

Also also. My guns are looking like plastic in the 64 branch like yours did

How did you fix that?

[livid rapids]

that's a MW2CR character

[livid rapids]

go to material tuning and set metallic to 1.000

[willow fog]

Got the textures?

ah

[livid rapids]

not atm, was going to dump them but never got to it

[willow fog]

gotcha

I might have mw2cr on my pc

I'll have to look

hey cr

[subtle bison]

oops ill fix that in the next release

[livid rapids]

you should use these

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2768392266

[willow fog]

Can you remove everything

Yeah well

I was about to say

[livid rapids]

yeah all those material overrides

[subtle bison]

yea

[willow fog]

Remove everything with material overrides

[subtle bison]

ye

[willow fog]

I was wondering why the atomic heart ballerrina looked like butt

[subtle bison]

part 1 of fixing base particles

smoke worky

[willow fog]

plus a bunch of misc decals that I've been marking here and there

@subtle bison you seeing this?

look at the grass

[subtle bison]

nah i dont have this issue

[willow fog]

blurry

[subtle bison]

looks like some issue with DLSS

[willow fog]

conf was broken

Here's the correct conf

Removing the weird things you had done to the materials

There we go

Now she looks correct

And then all was well

[onyx ridge]

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013

holy shit

[subtle bison]

ye josh updated it lol

[onyx ridge]

open tf2

[willow fog]

Nope. I don't have mw2r installed rn. You got any mods that I can use for hands?

[livid rapids]

I've uploaded the Stone hands on my drive

.

[willow fog]

mod link?

[livid rapids]

It's on the readme

I also have some packs but I don't remember which PM's they're for 💀

[willow fog]

cool

I'll use this for the time being

Rigging is fucked lmao

[onyx ridge]

• some episode 3 files

gwuh

[loud mural]

Now we just need HL2 anniversary code and Portal code

plllz Valve

[onyx ridge]

my dream is of a world where gmod supports everything from every source game....

[loud mural]

Unless Facepunch open sources or allocates more devs to gmod I doubt it will ever happen sadly

Until then there's always Lua

[onyx ridge]

lua can only get you so far with stuff like portals

[loud mural]

Yeah well we have Remix now so technically we can have fully functioning portals lol

[livid rapids]

@willow fog far as I remember there's these addons:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3045746373
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3416292135
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3416292726
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3215356397
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3373862154

And while searching I found another pack 💀

[willow fog]

Now ghost hands with pbr would be epic

[subtle bison]

omfg finally

the default particles work now

fuck i hate source engine's particle editor

I'm waiting for that

[willow fog]

Guns for today

[earnest yew]

is there even anything new for tf2?

[onyx ridge]

a buncha source games got updated with some of the hl2 anniversary stuff

[winter radish]

So like, when we hosting RTX TTT

[heady reef]

are there recomendded/optimal settings for x64 rtx?

also any addons to avoid completely? lagging terribly

[subtle bison]

not really, the optimal settings are applied ootb, if you're gpu limited, set your dlss to performance or lower

[heady reef]

gotcha, I got me and my friend in

[subtle bison]

also arc9 or any other weapon addons love to precache their textures which eat a lot of vram

[heady reef]

I think the mall map is really poorly optimized

any map suggestions?

[heady reef]

alright

and is it hard to convert a vanilla map?

[subtle bison]

most aren't engine limited, but if you're finding you're getting like 30fps or lower on every map, you might wanna list your specs

[willow fog]

In what way?

[subtle bison]

remix and the anti culling stuff is cpu heavy

[heady reef]

oh I guess just textures, I thought the maps on moddb for RTX were custom for RTX

[willow fog]

ah that

Well, there are two things you can do here

You can ai upscale them
So that gives you pretty low quality textures

Or you can remake the textures yourself
But that requires a lot of effort and mastery

https://tenor.com/view/pills-drugs-medicine-blue-pill-red-pill-gif-12463860

which way?

take the blue pill and make ai textures

[subtle bison]

best place to start
#remix-beginners-guide message

[modern quest]

(or use free ones)

[willow fog]

take a red pill and learn to make textures

[modern quest]

purple pill

[willow fog]

that too, but they don't usually fit

[modern quest]

i usually use them as a base and modify them to fit

[willow fog]

the real purple pill

[modern quest]

if that is something you want: https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1211706192510844999

huge list of websites to get the free assets

[heady reef]

would these settings cause issues btw

[heady reef]

sweet thanks!

[subtle bison]

not really, unless you have 1000 each spawned already lol

whats ur specs

[heady reef]

laptop 4090

i913900

32 gb ram

yeah its giving me trouble

just really laggy

are there any other tips?

[subtle bison]

does a map like gm_flatgrass lag?

i can get well into 100fps on that map with my RTX 2080

[earnest yew]

@subtle bison

is blueamulet still good to use for 64 bit

or use something else

[modern quest]

top pin

[subtle bison]

blueamulets patcher is the only option lol

[earnest yew]

i was just asking just incase you made some custom shit

idk if its just me but all the 64 bit games that arent gmod insta crash

[meager oar]

dayum, imma check CSS with tat 64 bit update

[heady reef]

anyone know anythin about gwater or if anyone has tried it

[subtle bison]

gwater2 doesnt work

nor does gwater1

[rich glen]

gwater1 worked for some time

[willow fog]

Until, of course it didn't.

[rich glen]

🥺

[drifting hinge]

what the scallop is going on

[heady reef]

anyone know of a setrenderbounds water somethin remix fixes 32 bit error, clean install?

[half viper]

@subtle bison does vfire work?

[compact blaze]

No but iirc they updated source sdk 2013 to support tf2

So you can now make deeper custom content or whole games based on tf2

At least according to the blog they posted

Which honestly imo biggest official update tf2 had like, ever

Bigger than the heavy update

Only thing bigger than this would be an official single player story campaign based on the comics

[keen rivet]

i thought i fixed that a million years ago 😭

[compact blaze]

Nah it’s broken

[keen rivet]

i had vfire and everything working

[compact blaze]

Oh shit I remember that

[compact blaze]

Do you remember how you got it working?

Not like nitty gritty details ofc

[keen rivet]

i did some code stuff that somehow only worked for me and nobody else and i still don't know how

it should be in the fixes lol

i think someone said it works if you install it not from the workshop

[compact blaze]

The fixes addon come pre loaded in the rtx mod

At least that’s what cr said

[subtle bison]

nah the fix for x32 doesn't work for x64, already tried. I had to replace broken particle materials with UnlitGeneric. I tried this with vfire and it doesn't work

[runic gale]

downloaded new RTX Fixes 5.2

Now Game running less FPS.

like 5-10 fps drop.

[lament quartz]

Try 6.0

[runic gale]

and i'm pretty sure i'm on the 6.0 remix

[lament quartz]

thats 0.5.4

0.5.2

[runic gale]

remix 5.2?

[subtle bison]

he's talking about my fixes 💀

not the remix build

[lament quartz]

oh shit LOL

my bad

[subtle bison]

probably because i fixed the culling issues in 0.5.0 and 0.5.1

[willow fog]

https://tenor.com/view/mini-mita-2-gif-9899435103475500623

[subtle bison]

if its still slower than something like 0.4.1, let me know, but if anything, it should be faster

[runic gale]

seems affecting on large map

[subtle bison]

yea large, dense maps dont run well in general

[runic gale]

I wish the 3d skybox should work

[subtle bison]

it does, r_3dsky 1

[runic gale]

yeah

[subtle bison]

but a lot of maps are a buggy atm

[runic gale]

but there's other area.

[willow fog]

MAN, I love how clean these look

I'm gonna make screenshots for all of them

[runic gale]

hmm

have hdri skybox on

[subtle bison]

i see the map in the sky, are those screenshots with the 3d skybox enabled?

[runic gale]

no

but they still appear when 3d skybox turned on

but starts bugging

[subtle bison]

ok i guess the skybox is literally above the map then lol

[runic gale]

yes

like middle layer

of the map

[subtle bison]

hopefully i can find some way to cull that out of view

[runic gale]

there's massive PVP area on top

some rp maps like newexton uses 3 layers.

for driving

yeah i been doing remix so.

[willow fog]

Just imagine gmod maps once hl2rtx drops

[subtle bison]

100% bet the hashes will not match

[onyx ridge]

by then i have a dream of the binary addon being able to read materials from addons....

[subtle bison]

i can probably do that at one point?

[onyx ridge]

[compact blaze]

Ya but I’m sure someone will make a mod that’ll replace all the hl2 textures with the remix ones

[onyx ridge]

imagine being able to distribute remix stuff using the workshop

[compact blaze]

Idk when we’ll get to the point we can replace meshes and lights tho

[willow fog]

Of course they won't. but that's why we have skurty

[subtle bison]

the slower but best way would be manually changing the material hashes and prims in the mod.usda

[onyx ridge]

either a regular addon that has materials and/or models that get loaded by remix if possible or just stuff like addons that do remix material replacements

[subtle bison]

it really depends if users can upload remix files to the workshop

[willow fog]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[onyx ridge]

i'd be kinda surprised if it wasn't possible to include arbitrary files with addons

[subtle bison]

yea i got no idea

[willow fog]

cr, if the hashes break again, I'm gonna painfully twist your fingers

[subtle bison]

why mine, twists rubat's

they're the one pushing gmod updates

[willow fog]

[runic gale]

i was running on 4.1 before updating it

[subtle bison]

and you're 100% sure it was running faster?

[runic gale]

yeah

it's probably something to do with rtx.conf

[subtle bison]

i havent really changed anything in rtx.conf other than mark more textures

that doesnt have a perf impact tho

did you try changing DLSS settings to see if that improves perf?

if it doesnt, its a engine bottleneck and not remix

[runic gale]

before it was running 30-25FPS on large map

and now it's 20-15FPS.

[subtle bison]

try changing DLSS settings first

[runic gale]

How tf i do get frame generation work

[subtle bison]

enabling it in the runtime menu?

[runic gale]

it's greyed out

telling me to do in windows settings

[subtle bison]

do you have a 40 series gpu?

[runic gale]

4080

[subtle bison]

hu it shouldnt be greyed out then. unless you have hardware gpu scheduling disabled in windows iirc

[runic gale]

so this needs to be on?

[subtle bison]

i think so? i dont own a 40 series gpu to verify

[runic gale]

now it is

idk why it's doing that.

view frustum is only thing that keeps doing it.

@subtle bison Some of Texture/Material wouldn't pick up but leaves white textures.

the highlighted area should be black

but in remix it's says there's no material is applied. (or texture.)

[subtle bison]

means the object is using a shader remix can't interpret

you'd have to modify the material file itself in source to use a fixed function fallback

[subtle bison]

can you give me a workshop link to the map?

[runic gale]

i'm using the edited verison for spefific server but there's the orginial one in workshop give me a moment

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1318768443

slowly working on remix like disabling the world light and using lights from the actual prop/mesh with emsive map

[willow fog]

One day....

We'll have transformer model dlss in gmod

[subtle bison]

hopefully portal rtx's update will give us working transformers

[runic gale]

Maybe After HL2 RTX

@subtle bison Any reason why sprites were disabled?

[subtle bison]

wdym?

i haven't disabled any, a lot just break in fixed function rendering

[runic gale]

idk why VCmod isn't showing any lights sprites

[subtle bison]

does the console show any material errors?

[runic gale]

idk

it's saying something about rendersprite

[subtle bison]

they're usually red and have sprite and material in the name

[runic gale]

i'll check

[subtle bison]

send a screenshot if you can

[subtle bison]

yea looks like most if not all sprites/particles are broken for vcmod

[runic gale]

KeyValues Error: RecursiveLoadFromBuffer:  got EOF instead of keyname in file materials/dannio/bmwx5/debugdrawflat.vmt
UnlitGeneric, (*Proxies*), (*Equals*), 
C_OP_RenderSprites::RenderUnsorted: Attempting to use an unimplemented sprite renderer for system "VC_Exhaust"! (Material particle\vistasmokev1\vistasmokev1.vmt) (x3838)

[subtle bison]

it might be fixable but dont count on it

[runic gale]

yeah, volumic fog from VCmod seems work.

headlights effect's & glow don't show,
Police Lightbar effect and glow dosen't show.

[willow fog]

Hey @livid rapids Which one of these am I using?

mw19

[livid rapids]

NOG and spec gloss

that goes for any post mw19 cod too

[willow fog]

riiiight

which one is nog?

[livid rapids]

normal gloss occlusion

[willow fog]

oh I see it

[willow fog]

Will it invert the gloss?

[livid rapids]

No, you'll have to do that manually

[willow fog]

alright

[livid rapids]

also keep in mind that it converts normal from hemi-octahedron to DirectX

[willow fog]

Got it. And what's the quickest way to invert the gloss

[livid rapids]

you can use paint.net and the invert color shortcut, or use imagemagick with a .bat that automates it

[willow fog]

gooootcha

[livid rapids]

Here's a neat trick

You can run .bat files on any file through the context menu

Place the .bat on the imagemagick folder, then replace the path on the .reg file

[willow fog]

What dependencies do I need to install?

[livid rapids]

Just imagemagick

It's a windows feature

[willow fog]

ah

[willow fog]

So what you're saying is that I don't need to install anything

[livid rapids]

imagemagick works with almost every image format possible so you can change .png to .dds or any other format

[livid rapids]

https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php Just imagemagick

[willow fog]

Right

There are just so many versions on the page

and my brain is already half fried

[livid rapids]

the topmost one

[subtle bison]

hdri

[livid rapids]

it's not the HDRI you think but it can work with HDRIs

[willow fog]

So I have imagemagic installed

[subtle bison]

nah i was looking for hdri handling

[willow fog]

Now

What about the two files

[livid rapids]

Place the .bat file on the install folder next to the magick.exe, modify the .reg file so that it matches your imagemagick install, then run the reg file and you should be able to use it

[willow fog]

AWESOME

[livid rapids]

Just right click on any image, click "invert", a terminal should pop up a few seconds and done

[willow fog]

HANA

HANAAAAA

How much of it do I edit?

which quotes to leave and which to keep?

[livid rapids]

the text and the slashes

for example

@="c:\program files (x86)\imagemagick\invert.bat "%1""

whoops there should be double slashes

[willow fog]

@=""C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.1.1-Q16-HDRI\invert.bat""%1\""

Is this correct?

[livid rapids]

is discord deleting slashes or something

[willow fog]

No, I'm stupid

[willow fog]

This is what I have
@="C:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick-7.1.1-Q16-HDRI\\invert.bat \"%1\""

I think it's right

[livid rapids]

yep that's right

if it doesn't work try all lowercase

[willow fog]

yep

It worked

[livid rapids]

cool

[willow fog]

thanks a lot

[livid rapids]

np

[willow fog]

and the normals are dx, correct?

[livid rapids]

yeah

[willow fog]

These naming conventions are going to give me an aneurism

[compact blaze]

What application is this?

[livid rapids]

You'll get used to it

[willow fog]

gameimageutil

[compact blaze]

U have to set em manually but dang

[livid rapids]

scar moment

[willow fog]

I am about to kill my self

[livid rapids]

just remember n = normal, g = roughness , s = metallic

[willow fog]

Yes, but it's naming the color maps also as _s

And that is bad because there aren't any previews in the toolkit

in ingestion

[livid rapids]

And that's why I rename things

It's a pain in the ass but it's better in the end

[willow fog]

yeah that's what I'm going to do

[compact blaze]

What psycho thought g = roughness

[livid rapids]

because it's originally glossiness

[compact blaze]

Get with the times gameimageutil unc

[livid rapids]

I don't know man unc looks pretty good

For a PBR pipeline

[willow fog]

Because cod devs thought that they want to be edgy and different from everyone else so they use glossiness instead of roughness

[livid rapids]

You'll be amazed

I've seen many more titles use glossiness rather than roughness

but yeah you could say it's unc compared to rough/metal

But in the end it's just two ways of saying the same thing

[willow fog]

https://tenor.com/view/zen-nature-serenity-tranquility-gif-15414929

[subtle bison]

@runic gale yeah you're right, something really regressed
0.5.2 vs 0.4.1

this is with remix disabled as well

😟

time to roll back the view frustrum stuff entirely

[compact blaze]

Tbh I thought they just went the fxaa route and did G = rouGhness

[willow fog]

lol no

[livid rapids]

How did you get it ingame so fast

Is there hotloading I'm not aware of

[willow fog]

Yep. Just ctrl+s in toolkit and it'll hotload

hey @livid rapids what's the source of your textures?

Mine's missing fr .556

[livid rapids]

you're looking in the wrong folder

[willow fog]

Uhm...

[livid rapids]

It's on warzone 1.0

[willow fog]

It's a mega archive

[livid rapids]

You don't say

[willow fog]

oh cool

they have more stuff in the warzone folder

[compact blaze]

where's this from?

[willow fog]

Small issue

The textures are tiiiiiiny

[compact blaze]

i wanna ask any yall got a link

[willow fog]

ill dm you

[compact blaze]

ya lemme add u

[livid rapids]

what's the texture for

[willow fog]

fr556 fromt he warzone folder

[livid rapids]

yeah but what part of it

reciever?

[willow fog]

barrel default

[livid rapids]

oh that's alright

[willow fog]

WAIT WAIT WAITY

[livid rapids]

the famas' barrel is tiny

[willow fog]

I reall am stupid, aren't I?

Why did I think that barrel would have a big texture

I was about to say fuck it and go to bed

Sleep is for the weak

[livid rapids]

wdf going on with the UI

Didn't touch a thing

[willow fog]

So uh

Which one of these would have the metal in it?

[livid rapids]

None

[willow fog]

well

The gun is clearly made of metal

[livid rapids]

Some textures will not have metal

Well the grip is not made of metal

Polymer moment!

[willow fog]

it is tho

I think

[subtle bison]

two users reported its a driver bug

[livid rapids]

Oh yeah I'm on latest

[subtle bison]

they get it in other games and rolling back to the previous one fixes it

[willow fog]

You can't say this ain't metal

[subtle bison]

reverted to old view frustrum codebase and moved some of the changes i made from the newer ver. 0.5.3 should now be the fastest version, even large maps run faster

[livid rapids]

Interesting

[willow fog]

so...

What do we do

[subtle bison]

can yall take this to #asset-creation or something

[willow fog]

no

We're making mods

for garry's mod

so we stay here

[subtle bison]

but its a asset 🤓

[willow fog]

[willow fog]

For gmod

[subtle bison]

ok, other people make assets for other games and post there as well

[willow fog]

Yes, but we aren't really creating assets

we're porting assets

[subtle bison]

so what about a subthread

[willow fog]

no

Well anyways.

@livid rapids so do I fuck myself and go to bed?

[livid rapids]

idk man do whatever

[willow fog]

Yeah, I'm gonna just fuck myself and go to bed

I'll be spam pinging you tomorrow once I run into more issues

[drifting hinge]

erm... thats physically impossible

[willow fog]

Today's batch

[runic gale]

Yeah, I knew something not right.

[subtle bison]

ye its fixed now

ill try to push 0.5.3 in a few mins

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/releases/tag/gmrtx64_0.5.3

[drifting hinge]

ermmm

(edited)

[runic gale]

so what do i update just the remixbinary?

[subtle bison]

delete it

and then copy everything

[jade edge]

out of fun

[runic gale]

so delete the old remix and put new one in

don't update anything else?

[subtle bison]

the rtx.conf

[runic gale]

ah

[subtle bison]

but ye thats about it

[runic gale]

what's PBR overrides?

god damn

[subtle bison]

material overrides for any replaced materials

i had them at random values, they're supposed to be at their defaults

[runic gale]

hmm

55 fps

good improvements

[subtle bison]

😎

[runic gale]

damn

no emmsive

i unchecked the RTX View Frustum

[subtle bison]

unchecking it fixes it?

try enabling it and type fr_rebuild in the console

[livid rapids]

turns out the nvidia app fucks with NPI

[subtle bison]

HUH

so if i remove the nvidia app, it fixes transformers???

[livid rapids]

basically yeah, nvidia app is overriding your override

it's disabling it for any unverified dlss app

there's a workaround but it didn't work for me so I just uninstalled the nvidia app and restarted

[subtle bison]

im gonna try it on my end

still CNN for me sadly

ill probably do a DDU cleanup of my display drivers later

[livid rapids]

restarted my pc btw

not the game

[subtle bison]

ye i did too

[livid rapids]

hmm

what dlss ver?

I had 310.0 and it didn't work

switched to 310.2

[subtle bison]

did you change the actual DLLs?

[livid rapids]

Yes

Also I'm not using that NPI

I'm using the stock one

https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases

just the preset overrides, but with the actual dlls replaced

[subtle bison]

where did you source the 3.10.2 dlls? i can only find the main one on techpowerup

[livid rapids]

https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-3-frame-generation-dll/

https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-3-ray-reconstruction-dll/

[subtle bison]

ah they literally seperate all 3

ofc

[livid rapids]

yeah

[half viper]

Afair @keen rivet found a file upon replacing it with portal rtx's one the hashes were matching

[subtle bison]

if it's 32-bit exclusive it wont do any good for us

[keen rivet]

i could load the dx70.vtx files and make it all work i think is what i did

and the hashes on 64bit only dont match because of the exe name right?

[subtle bison]

now also 32-bit

the dec 8th update broke it for all

[keen rivet]

custom launcher for rtx mode that uses hl2.exe as its name would be epic

[willow fog]

DON'T

Touch the hashes again

I'll get very angry

[keen rivet]

that way we can have single install that can swap between rtx and non rtx and have hash compatibility with portal with rtx and hl2rtx

[subtle bison]

wasnt there actual changes to the rendering system that broke hashes though?

iirc it wasnt only just because of the exe name

[keen rivet]

uhh i vaguely remembe reading someone got their old hashes working by renaming the exe

hashes shouldn't be based off exe name at all tbh thats dumb

[subtle bison]

ill try renaming mine

nah

changed 64's gmod.exe to hl2.exe and the hashes still work

[subtle bison]

still CNN for me, there is probably something else im missing but doing a DDU should clean stuff up

[livid rapids]

github decided to fuck me today

It's not picking up speed 💀

[willow fog]

GitHub fucks everyone

[subtle bison]

i thought you were sleeping

[livid rapids]

@subtle bison just so you know you forgot a legacy mat override, should be 0

[subtle bison]

does it really matter for legacy? I don't want any non-PBR materials to be reflective lol

[livid rapids]

with roughness 1.000 it just makes them darker

1/0

[subtle bison]

ill fix it

[livid rapids]

also that auto exposure damn

[subtle bison]

damn bad or damn good lol

[livid rapids]

just damn

sometimes it looks good

but I would love to replace the tonemapper entirely with reshade

[subtle bison]

you can

[livid rapids]

Huh

[subtle bison]

reshade works perfectly fine on x64

i've been doing it for a while myself

you need to set the gmod.exe inside win64 to vulkan in the reshade installer

[livid rapids]

does mouse work inside the gui? last time I injected reshade was on 32bit and I had to use a gamepad to select presets 💀

[subtle bison]

ye not having a bridge fixes that

[livid rapids]

cool

[subtle bison]

depth buffer access is buggy tho

i only ever had it working with the portal prelude remix build from like a year ago

[livid rapids]

I'm guessing you tried this

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2964867203&searchtext=depth+reshade

[subtle bison]

i did not

might work tho

ill see if that fixes it rq

[livid rapids]

I've always wondered if there's a way to stop shadow flickering in non RR DLSS

well it was RTXDI's temporal reuse

[subtle bison]

depth is lost when RT is enabled

idk what prelude's build did to keep it

[lament quartz]

Wow that's snazzy

[modern quest]

@subtle bison may i borrow your skybox knowledge?

[subtle bison]

sure, though i think @lapis pewter knows more than me now

[modern quest]

i think anyone knows more than me 😛

[lapis pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/popping-head-out-sneak-peek-observe-take-a-look-nervous-gif-14851047

[modern quest]

i followed your steps to replace the skybox in this game. assigned a sphere mesh to an object marked as a sky (was actually the original sky in the game lol, it doesn't cull) and attached an emissive to it. the emissive is an HDRI converted to BC6S with nvidia texture tools

so the actual lighting seems to be working right

but the skybox is just this

[subtle bison]

is something cutting it off?

also it looks a bit dark

[modern quest]

not that i can find. it just looks that way

[modern quest]

screenshot of it just for demonstration

[subtle bison]

do you have volumetrics on?

they break HDRIs

[modern quest]

ah i did, but it didn't change much

[lapis pewter]

unsigned is better than signed as hdri shouldnt have negative values

[subtle bison]

also unmark it as sky

i had issues in the toolkit at least when it was marked as that

[lapis pewter]

also make sure it does not have an albedo texture and that the albedo color is set to black

[modern quest]

yeah it is

[modern quest]

same for this actually. it unset itself somehow lol

that's the actual original sky texture that i'm replacing

so i had that marked as sky, with the new mesh + emissive attached to that mesh replacing it

[lapis pewter]

have you done any emissive overrides or adjust emissive intensities in the runtime, theres like 574 places where you can do that

those should all be set to 1 iirc

and can you send a screenshot of your material config from the toolkit, or send the relevant .usda

[modern quest]

none that i can think of

[lapis pewter]

toolkit screeny would be best i reckon

i didnt see much in the usda

[modern quest]

i can try resetting my rtx.conf

no luck

[lapis pewter]

have you "removed" the root mesh

set emissive intensity to 1

ruffness to 1 as well (my jee key doesnt work rn lol)

[modern quest]

i deleted the original mesh

it's just the sphere now

[lapis pewter]

nice

let us know what it looks like after swap emissive intensity from 40 to 1|

[modern quest]

neither of those worked unfortunately

didn't change anything at all actually

[lapis pewter]

ahh kk

just in the toolkit or in game

cos sometimes toolkit doesnt let you turn off atmospherics properly

and those mess up the skybox

[modern quest]

fuckin lol

[lapis pewter]

hehehhee

[modern quest]

it was only on the outside

[lapis pewter]

i think theres something in there which might explain it 😄

[modern quest]

changing it to double sided did not fix it 😦

shows up in the toolkit correctly now

still just empty in the game

ugh

[lapis pewter]

what does it look like in runtime when you move the free camera

maybe its in a strange place the skybox

[modern quest]

it's just gray everywhere

[lapis pewter]

what game is it again

[modern quest]

actually it's that weird split line

[lapis pewter]

ill give it a try and report back

Looks good

[compact blaze]

It’s a shame the ray reconstruction makes the details all slobbery cause wow

[compact blaze]

I wanna ask is it possible to add the subsurface scattering into case?

[livid rapids]

had to rawdog these using the phong maps since I Am Not Downloading 140 Gigabytes of Stalker 2

[livid rapids]

What case

[compact blaze]

The character case

And his viewmodel

[livid rapids]

Oh

Not yet

The subsurface scattering used in remix is for thin materials like leaves or paper

With the release of hl2 rtx there will be a skin shader available

[compact blaze]

Nice

How do u think hl2 remix alyx looks btw?

I think it was shown a bit in the rtx 50 series announcement at ces

[livid rapids]

From what I've seen she looks good

But we'll have to see her full face
