I don't exactly like new Grigori's face

[compact blaze]

Ya he looks uh

Ya

He looks like that one instagram fiend pyro made a video about ages ago

https://youtu.be/Y8kYHk6Jahk

[livid rapids]

holy shit you're right

[compact blaze]

Ya first time I saw his redesign I instantly thought of that instagram fiend lmao

[compact blaze]

They need to redo Gregori I’m sorry wow

[compact blaze]

How does this gun look in normal mw2? Never remembered it having this much contrast in the details

Almost looks cell shaded

[livid rapids]

That's intentional, it's Alucard's casull

[runic gale]

@subtle bison This shows up in game, but in RTX Remix looks different?

nvm

it's probably needs to re-capture

[compact blaze]

damn the difference on the gun is staggering

[drifting hinge]

the

[compact blaze]

yall see how the gun slighty shifts in noise, is this normal? its on dlss quality with ray reconstruction (happens on any viewmodel scale)

askin if its a me or remix issue

ya everything just feels kinda weird updating to 0.5.3

[subtle bison]

i didn't change anything in the rtx.conf other than material overrides

so it's most likely a DLSS issue

the view frustrum stuff was the only other change and it doesn't change anything with the viewmodel

[compact blaze]

shame

[compact blaze]

i updated from 0.4.1 to 0.5.3 btw

[subtle bison]

ok well then there's more to look at lol

the only thing i can think of is the viewmodel scale in the remix runtime settings tho

[compact blaze]

seems to do the same thing when i downgraded to 0.4.1

hopefully its just a dlss issue?

[subtle bison]

most likely, but lemme check something rq

ye the only way i can reproduce it is if i lower the view model scale below 0.400

[compact blaze]

weird

[turbid barn]

i've noticed that blur on latest RTX-Remix mod

it's became sharper in few seconds

but this blur is like a trail of anything in front of me

weapon etc

DLSS issue, turning off fixed that problem

[winter radish]

I’ve noticed that at low internal resolutions with ray reconstruction can cause a smeary image

[willow fog]

Go to game setup and then legacy materials and then set metallic to 0

[turbid barn]

thanks!

[compact blaze]

ya i've noticed that issue too but only on the latest remix mod

with 0.4.1 being fine

which is why i downgraded

[turbid barn]

Real?

Set metallic to off fixed that issue

[subtle bison]

weird that i dont get the blur on a clean 0.5.3 with the metallic stuff untouched

[compact blaze]

ah then that must be it

since i turned that off too

[subtle bison]

ill update the scale and reupload the archive

[compact blaze]

but never noticed it before hand

idk its weird

remix is weird

[turbid barn]

btw, why DLAA has so bad performance?

[subtle bison]

cuz you're natively rendering a path traced image

its always going to be heavy

[turbid barn]

So the reason why other games (even with RTX) rans smootly with DLAA is that they doesn't have Path Tracing?

[subtle bison]

those other rtx games are probably rasterized with a few RT effects, which is much cheaper than an entirely path traced image

[willow fog]

I gave you the fixed conf

[subtle bison]

and?

[willow fog]

And you shipped a broken conf

#1116089843479498782 message

[subtle bison]

its fixed now, uploading the archive as we speak

[subtle bison]

yes but i must keep going until the source engine stops me

[subtle bison]

i can guarantee npc eyes is probably last on the fix list. I need some serious reverse engineering skills to fix that

or someone else helps me with that

[drifting hinge]

solution: wait for half life 2

[subtle bison]

if its 64-bit, yes

that is a huge jump lmao

this was running in the 20s on 0.5.0

nvidia 5090 pls

[lapis delta]

is that ultra perf?

[subtle bison]

yea lol

[lapis delta]

damn...

[subtle bison]

gm_voidplaces is the heaviest map

and its over 60 fps 🥹

holy shit

[drifting hinge]

freaky cr

[subtle bison]

yell yea im freaky for any free fps

1K fps on flatgrass

[subtle bison]

meanwhile remix fps

🥹

[hushed trail]

What is your card?

[subtle bison]

rtx 2080

[hushed trail]

Impressive

[subtle bison]

nah something has gotta be broken. i literally cannot comprehend i can max out the render bounds settings with no hit to the engine

i would get like 2fps on the max regular entity value

i gotta try a large map

aint no fuckin way

dev vs 0.5.3

ok i can completely remove user controls from render bounds, truly a singularity moment

[steel lark]

HELL YEAH

IDK WHAT ANY OF IT MEANS BUT FREE FPS 🤑

[onyx ridge]

my 4050 is going to enjoy this

probably gonna wait until at least the next x64 version and remix getting official transformer shenanigan support

i might get 30 fps now !

[subtle bison]

i would think a 4050 would beat me

easily

especially with FG

[runic gale]

@subtle bison could you add reset to default button for the RTX View Frustum?

I messed up the view frustum settings and now it's stuck at 20-25fps again

[compact blaze]

Set the frustum settings back to lowest

[subtle bison]

run these commands in the console to get back to default settings
fr_bounds_size 256
fr_rtx_distance 256
fr_environment_light_distance 32768

[subtle bison]

on today's list of fixed bugs
3D skybox area is no longer visible in the main map
world no longer duplicates with 3D skyboxes enabled

both of these combined means 3D skyboxes now properly work

🔥

still some kinks but its mostly perfect 😍

[willow fog]

Good job

[subtle bison]

here is gm_flatgrass

HDRI's work too

remix for some reason has vertex explosions with some 3D skyboxes

its not a game issue at all

finally, cs_office as intended

[willow fog]

A thing of beauty

[subtle bison]

ngl its really fuckin buggy with the remix vertex explosions

i have no idea where to even start to fix it

[willow fog]

Probably start with asking Mark

[subtle bison]

@lucid parcel Would you know why remix has a bunch of vertex explosions when enabling Reproject Sky to Main Camera when Source's 3D skybox is enabled? It looks fine in rasterized or when that option is off

[lucid parcel]

Yikes, I'm surprised that doesn't crash... it doesn't really look like vertex corruption, since it's constant frame to frame... maybe the sky camera to main camera matrix is crazy somehow. You could probably check if the sky camera has reasonable values in the developer tab of the remix menu

I don't know too much about that system tho

[lament quartz]

What does project to main even gain

[subtle bison]

traces the 3D skybox camera so you have proper shading and stuff

[subtle bison]

camera values look normal, no weird spikes or anything, same values if I turn off the game's 3D skybox as well

maybe the engine is the issue and its only visible in this specific situation?

[compact blaze]

Are u still recording in h265?

[subtle bison]

yea

[compact blaze]

💔

Discord still hasn’t fixed frozen playback

[lucid parcel]

well, that system was written for source engine. Wouldn't be a bad idea to file a github issue for it, get it in front of the engineer who actually knows how that works

[subtle bison]

wow i forget the scale of maps without the 3d skybox sometimes

facade is huge

rip my vram

[livid rapids]

I wonder if you could disable/enable specific remix mods in-game. And whether or not two mods with a replacement on one hash override each other. I'm thinking a system where you could switch skins for a weapon on and off, since most of these share the same mesh, just different textures

[lapis delta]

oh god omfg, just think that this gmod is already blowing my mind

[livid rapids]

Ooor I'll go the addon route and make dummy skins purely for remixing

Maybe even dabble in actually porting the skins for normal gmod. Always wanted to learn that and given the mesh situation it would be just porting textures for most skins

[subtle bison]

I was thinking about doing something like that

staring with 0.5.0, we use a custom remix build, it might be possible to extend the API to control mod loading

[subtle bison]

good to know this map still runs like ass on remix

completely obliterates my GPU with all of the alpha shit

gm_launchsite

someone with a 5090 could probably run it lol

nvm

this addon completely destroys vram

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2635378860

gonna add it to the incompatible list

[steel lark]

@subtle bison when are you going to release the update?

SAY PLEASE

[steel lark]

can you make this water?

[steel lark]

papers

[steel lark]

@subtle bison the map is rp_nycity

it's really big

and laggy

it's a good benchmark i think

[subtle bison]

i can confidently tell you there is no way to make RP maps that big run well with our engine modifications 🙂

i can try to fix the water tho

[steel lark]

also the trees on gm_boreas

are really weird

[subtle bison]

yea the bug goes back pretty far, do r_drawstaticprops 1 for now

it should fix it until i have a more permanent solution

[subtle bison]

nvm, i guess it does run pretty well now

tried to match it as close to ur pic as i could

[steel lark]

does it run well with rtx?

[subtle bison]

ye thats why i shared both pics, 1st is with remix disabled, 2nd is with it on

im gpu limited in that spot with remix on

[steel lark]

oh

i thought it was my own screenshot lmao

[subtle bison]

this map is actually really well optimized ngl

it runs faster than a lot of smaller maps

[steel lark]

still 47 vs 24 is almost double

that's insane

[subtle bison]

it would be higher if i wasnt using transformers DLSS RR

the native engine perf is the 1st pic

104 fps

[steel lark]

🙀

[subtle bison]

if your gpu is faster you'd get closer to that number

[steel lark]

🤑

mine is a 3060

so that's super good

[subtle bison]

damn this map looks good with HDRI

[steel lark]

😍

is that with 3d sky on?

[subtle bison]

yea but i dont think its visible from that spot

im gonna have to put some kind of disclaimer when turning on the 3d sky as a lot of maps make remix bug out with it on

btw there is sort of a regression with some of the skybox fixes, a lot of maps will be entirely dark unless the 3d sky is enabled, its because we're properly culling stuff that isnt supposed to be visible, so it also breaks the HDRI unless its on

[subtle bison]

this is what im talking about

🤩

we really need a PBR version of this map

[steel lark]

logo (just putting it here so i can search it again if i lose it)

[subtle bison]

whats this for? we already have branding as of 0.5.0

[steel lark]

it's for the logo on steam

there we go i had a .exe file logo for way too long

[subtle bison]

rp_southside (the sistermap to nycity)

[subtle bison]

idk what i did, but for whatever reason those vertex explosions are mostly gone when enabling the 3d skybox

which is good because gm_construct_remastered looks so good with it

😍

[steel lark]

wow that's awesome

try gm_construct_13_beta please

it has a really good skybox

[compact blaze]

I think the sky dive even requires hdr

[compact blaze]

I do like how some random modders tried to gaslight all of gmod with that map

[steel lark]

🇧🇷

[subtle bison]

added this disclaimer

i dont know if i can fix the visual bugs, they're pretty bad when you're inside interiors and the engine keeps culling the 3d skybox

[steel lark]

dope

[willow fog]

can u add more annoying popups. Also make the startup remix message longer so that it takes up most of the screen

[subtle bison]

sure ill remove all warnings and disclaimers and patiently wait to get spammed with @'s on discord about X and Y feature not working correctly /s

but being real, i dont plan to add any more lol

also ill probably add the ability to disable the remix banner via game settings

[subtle bison]

wait i swear i recognize this map

what is it?

[steel lark]

rp_bangclaw

small rp map

[subtle bison]

[livid rapids]

holy shit the pizza map

peak

[willow fog]

indeed

[livid rapids]

this is an example of what I was talking about, same mesh, different textures

But well, no way of switching them. MWB's texture switching already doesn't work (for example the GS45's skins)

Blueprints work since they are different MDLs

[onyx ridge]

remix material tool when

[willow fog]

In waht way

[onyx ridge]

(provided remix api does support messing with materials)

like

gmod's color/material tool but using the remix api to do stuff like set metalness and roughness

assign processed textures to them (might go well with addon based remix materials?)

[willow fog]

I think the API can do it

[quiet scroll]

The HDRI skydomes is giving me a predicament lmaooo, if I add a skylight to a map, it'll get in the way of the hdri if I add it. I can disable the enchanced lights to remove the skylight, but it'll get rid of all the other lights too

Making a runtime request to have the option to specifically disable skylights would probably open the door to adding other options, which would be a lot

[subtle bison]

ignore directional lights in the runtime menu?

if you're talking about the stock source engine one

[quiet scroll]

Yeah I tried, but if a directional skylight is added in the toolkit the runtime ignores the ignore haha. I'll probably still add the skylights and wait until the toolkit has better skylight support. Or I could add a skylight/no skylight version of the maps 🙂

[subtle bison]

so what's the point of adding a toolkit directional skybox if it's going to be ignored? just a little confused and curious

[livid rapids]

wonder what's causing this, only on RR

dlss 4 transformer btw, didn't happen on cnn

[quiet scroll]

Mostly for people who download the mod without wanting/knowing about the hdri's that are available 🙂

@subtle bison how do i get Parrallax Map work?

[subtle bison]

i would start here
https://youtu.be/P6ljqEiGrWs?list=PL4w6jm6S2lzvgJ97T1_VbLGBR_l6zzOUm

[runic gale]

that's different remix verison (early)

[subtle bison]

? the process is almost identical

oh

i see

well the displacment tab is still there

[runic gale]

yeah

[willow fog]

Add the displacement map in the displacement texture slot and adjust displacement amount. Done.

[runic gale]

but even putting displacement and it's dosen't show parralax.

[willow fog]

Do you have parallax enabled in the conf?

[subtle bison]

didnt i leave it on by default in the conf?

[willow fog]

Also post a screenshot of the toolkit.

[subtle bison]

oh i didnt

💀

[willow fog]

I think you did

[runic gale]

💀

no wonder why not showing in remix

[willow fog]

No wonder your conf is so fucked up.

[subtle bison]

is it off by default in the runtime?

i dont really remember messing with this option but who knows

[willow fog]

You showed it's off

[subtle bison]

yea with the config i shipped

im saying a newly created one

like generated by the runtime

guess ill find out

[willow fog]

Pretty sure it's on by default

[subtle bison]

ok so i guess dxvk-remix alone cannot auto generate a rtx.conf wtf

the game just crashes and a rtx.conf never gets created

so i guess the bridge does it?

[willow fog]

I don't think that's the case

[subtle bison]

i ran it with admin too lol

if i add back my config it works

[willow fog]

I've run just the runtime with a 64 bit game before

[subtle bison]

not sure then, i have directory permissions and everything

[willow fog]

Make a dummy conf

See what happens

[subtle bison]

still dies lmao

nothing got written to the dummy file

ill remove rtx.displacement.mode from mine and see what the runtime defaults to

so yes i apparently disabled it

whoops

[runic gale]

what's new in 5.3.1?

[subtle bison]

i removed the PBR material overrides that i forgot to remove

its just a rtx.conf change iirc

[willow fog]

Typical

[runic gale]

@subtle bison what's new on 5.3.1?

[subtle bison]

i just said 💀

[runic gale]

oh

[compact blaze]

When’s ur misfits boxing match vs @subtle bison

[earnest yew]

im trying to figure out how to do blueamulets patches in the sdk

holy fuck its alot of code

[willow fog]

I'ma fuck him up

[meager oar]

i keep getting this error whenever i try to change the radiance for fallback lighting

[subtle bison]

wasnt this error also happening x32?

[subtle bison]

i think marc mentioned it being a bug a few months ago

uncle going insane

[willow fog]

Try reading the big and obvious yellow warning

[willow fog]

I do when people act r slur

[meager oar]

yes i did and it crashes even when manually putting values

[willow fog]

Skill issue

[meager oar]

only seems to happen in x64bit

[subtle bison]

ofc 💀

[willow fog]

Get to work, cr

[rich glen]

cr7

[subtle bison]

yeah because i can definitely fix it

[willow fog]

Mmhm

[subtle bison]

@meager oar downgrade to a older dxvk-remix where it doesnt happen? You will get the flickering mouse issue though

[meager oar]

wait imma try my own rtx conf and see if it wrks cause by default it has fallback lighting on

dayum it wrks

[subtle bison]

ok so do we just get rid of my stupid cursed rtx.conf

[meager oar]

idk but my rtx.conf is changing the hashes of the textures? cause i did the glass textures on construct but its not being applied in my conf but is in yours

[subtle bison]

hu

how deep does this rabbit hole go

[meager oar]

bruh yea i checked the glass textures hashes changed

[subtle bison]

is yours a new rtx.conf generated by the runtime or did you import from somewhere

[meager oar]

haha its the first ever rtx conf made by Xentho like a year ago

i just modified the settings to my likings

[subtle bison]

uhh

i wonder if its using the old gmod hashes

[meager oar]

here it is

weird thing is the hashes even inside the game also changes so basically all the old remix mods made in 32bit technically should still wrk in 64 in my conf

imma test

[subtle bison]

yea but i think mark said we should be using the new hash system going forward

i really dont want to support two different hash systems if we dont have to, especially if the old one is deprecated

[meager oar]

dayum i guess ill let remix generate me a conf, wonder if it will fix the fallback lighting crashing

[subtle bison]

it might not work, my game crashes if i delete my rtx.conf lol

we could generate the rtx.conf from a different game and move it over

but lmk if it works for u

[meager oar]

i can do tat with css if gmod crashes without rtx.conf

[subtle bison]

I think the exe name in the config file needs to be updated afterwards if that's the case

i think it's Garry's Mod (x64)

[meager oar]

dayum it wrked for me

[subtle bison]

ok so my setup is cursed

lovely

[meager oar]

😂 wheres the conf da heck

how is it running

[subtle bison]

ok nvm

yea i have no idea why it fails to generate its own

[meager oar]

hmm so weird, the game wrks but the conf doesnt generate maybe i need to click the save button

or run gmod from steam

[subtle bison]

we are using a custom remix build but i only changed some input stuff to fix the mouse

try using a dxvk-remix build from github instead and see if it generates one

[meager oar]

ohh it generated

when running from steam

[subtle bison]

so my launcher is interfering?

weird

[meager oar]

the fallback lighting also wrks

heres the new conf

lets see if the glass replacements i did wrk in this conf, tat would confirm its using thhe new hashes

yea new replacements wrk now so the new conf is indeed using the new hashes

[willow fog]

gmod 32 users after trying gmod 64

https://tenor.com/view/cat-ice-cream-vine-cat-the-rock-cat-ice-cream-vine-boom-gif-24273837

[subtle bison]

gonna nuke the existing rtx.conf and use the one popo generated, ill move over the hashes but wont touch anything else

(i promise)

🙂

[willow fog]

You can grab a clean conf from git

[subtle bison]

any differences?

[willow fog]

It's as clean as it can get

[turbid barn]

water for some reason is very noisy

last one - in movement

[subtle bison]

ye you'd get that in any remix title that has water

the normal map is pretty detailed and the scale of it is pretty small

not to mention all of the denoising going on with DLSS

[compact blaze]

this makes me wish nvidia developed a denoiser on the level of ray reconstruction for native non dlss

so all that extra ghosting and loss in detail that comes from dlss isn't there y'know?

[modern quest]

@subtle bison i've seen you mention changes to remix's hashing system. where did you see this originally? and how does the new system behave

[subtle bison]

ill try to find the message

i think it started here?
#general-remix message

and this
#general-remix message

[modern quest]

well shit

i dunno how to adjust the old hashing code i used to work for this. and i can't find the new code in the dxvk-remix repo

i'm trying to match up dumped textures from the game with the textures remix dumped

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/blob/c8a01c1a741f38c500d99524bacc4982d512f24d/src/d3d9/d3d9_common_texture.cpp#L680
this might be it

imageHash = XXH3_64bits(buffer->mapPtr(0), buffer->info().size);

hm

i'll just use the old method for now

Actually

Nah, there are wayyyy more maps than 11k

[runic gale]

@subtle bison Parallax works in game. but For Some reason it not showing on the Remix editor?

[quiet scroll]

It doesn’t work in the release version of the toolkit, but if you build the recent toolkits outward displacements work

[compact blaze]

what tool are you using to add pbr to the pre existing textures?

[runic gale]

Shadermap 4

[runic gale]

how easy is to build the recent toolkits?

[lapis delta]

pretty easy if you download everything you need to make it work

[runic gale]

where is the toolkit?

[modern quest]

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/toolkit-remix

[runic gale]

followed the instruction, try to run but remix keeps crashing.

[compact blaze]

Did you clone the repo with git then run the bat with -r in cmd

[runic gale]

nope?

i used CMD

[compact blaze]

Iirc you have to clone the repo with git instead of downloading it directly

[runic gale]

ok

done cloning with git

now what

ok

now it's working

still nothing (not showing any parallax) @modern quest @quiet scroll ?

[near tartan]

Odd

What’s your height map look like?

[runic gale]

?

it's working fine in the game

but not in remix

[near tartan]

Weird

That would mean your height maps working fine

[runic gale]

yea

[livid rapids]

remix captures inherit your settings at the time so if you had displacement maps disabled when capturing you won't see them in the toolkit

I know this because it happened with the conf's pbr overrides

just make another capture with displacements on and it should work

I....

[drifting hinge]

WHAT

HOW

actually, why

[runic gale]

ugh

@subtle bison idk why the RTX lights would disappeared when it's not looking at it.

[willow fog]

culling

[runic gale]

what setting do i need fix that

even setting already set Anti-Culling Lights enabled

[subtle bison]

rtx lights as in the api ones or the built-in game ones?

the api ones shouldn't cull at all since the engine isnt aware of them

[runic gale]

when i first try it's was working fine.

[subtle bison]

ok but which one is it

[runic gale]

idk

that's way before your verison

[subtle bison]

what tool did you spawn it with

[runic gale]

i didn't spawn it

it's came with the map

however

[subtle bison]

oh then its a standard light

[runic gale]

but these one

are emitted by the emissive masks

[subtle bison]

so then the prop itself is being culled

[runic gale]

probably

[subtle bison]

up the regular entity bound settings in RTX view frustrum

to like 2048 or something

your fps might tank but that will prevent it

[runic gale]

yeah tanked down to where i orginially have problems

15-25fps

[subtle bison]

its performance vs quality

modifying render bounds is expensive

you could spawn the lamp in the toolkit instead

just attach it to the map geometry so it doesn't get culled

[subtle bison]

looks like a detail texture that needs to be ignored?

at the end

[meager oar]

also suppress lighting setting can also cause issues for spot and point lights

[subtle bison]

hmm it shouldn't, the light updaters might not be spawning for that light

i think there is a command that shows them one sec

[runic gale]

i think it's causes by parllax texture

[subtle bison]

rtx_lightupdater_show 1

@meager oar if you dont see a cube below the light then one didn't spawn there

im not sure why this happens sometimes but i can try to look into it later

[runic gale]

hmmm @subtle bison

[meager oar]

hmm it says unknown command in console even though i have rtx remix fixes installed

[subtle bison]

never seen anything like that before wtf

[subtle bison]

remove the workshop version

we include our own

[meager oar]

i have the one that comes with the github, only have these addons

[subtle bison]

tf

does remixbinary exist in garrysmod/addons/?

[meager oar]

OOHHHHHHH IM DUMB AHHHHHHHHHH ma dang sensitive keyboard put ' before rtx

[meager oar]

yea no cube below the light

[subtle bison]

yea then its not being updated

weird bug

do other lights in the map have one?

[meager oar]

😂 oh u mean this dang tini thing here

[subtle bison]

yea those are the updaters

[meager oar]

hmm weird this light has the cube but the light is still disappearin when looking away

[subtle bison]

is this normal gm_construct?

also what spot, i can see if i can reproduce it

[meager oar]

its the gm_construct_flatgrass

[runic gale]

yea

[meager oar]

i think it happens in normal construct aswell imma check

[runic gale]

can see lights updater when looking through normal source engine glass transparent texture.

[subtle bison]

might need to increase the render bounds distance for the light updaters, they're set pretty low by default

[meager oar]

it happens in gm_construct_rtx aswell

[subtle bison]

ye it's not a map issue for that specific instance

its just a low draw distance i think, ill check

[meager oar]

light update count?

[subtle bison]

no

RTX View Frustrum

[runic gale]

werid way to crash gmod

[subtle bison]

looks like you ran out of vram

[runic gale]

it was only 54%

[subtle bison]

hmm, i only ever got that with my gpu if i did

[runic gale]

let me double check

i turned of custom world rendering

i noticed that small rooms in skybox sky has disappeared

[subtle bison]

the 3d skybox causes visual issues with remix (near the end of the video, its probably something not fixable until i make a github issue with the nvidia team)

as for the other areas of the map showing with custom world renderer, its a known bug. i fixed it but its not out rn

[subtle bison]

fresh 0.5.3.1 build, works fine with the light updaters set to something like 512

[meager oar]

btw wats the benefit of keeping suppressed light on right now? cause as far as i know before it made lights always on and dont disappear in 32bit gmod but Right now disabling suppress lighting still makes all the lights always on instead of disappearing atleast for me

[subtle bison]

we keep suppress lighting on so we're not delaying light updates, if a map has dynamic lights, leaving Supress Lighting off, lights would stay on even though they're supposed to be off

[meager oar]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i remember now

it fixed this annoying thing that plagued us for too long 😞

[runic gale]

[subtle bison]

is this infmap or something

[runic gale]

No

[subtle bison]

what's the map?

looks very cursed

[runic gale]

Newexton2

was fine before

but idk why decided to be glitching and corrupting

Probably Parllax textures?

same small issue on construct rtx

[subtle bison]

I'd probably do a clean install of gmod, i have never seen this behavior before

i wonder if it has to do with the newest driver people been having issues with

[runic gale]

replaced the rtx.conf from the rtx-fixes zip. and problem has gone away

[subtle bison]

looks like a detail texture

[runic gale]

it is

[subtle bison]

you need to mark these with the runtime

[runic gale]

but no glitching so far

[subtle bison]

ye i just tried the map too

very strange to put the 2nd area above the map lol

its a good one to test my fixes tho

[subtle bison]

what am i looking at here?

[runic gale]

just testin something

but there's no bugs so far

yeah disable custom world render actually get rid of the sky stuff.

[steel lark]

it looks so good but so bad at the same time

does the env_sun work?

[runic gale]

idk man

[subtle bison]

wow the grass blending looks pretty sweet

[runic gale]

the sun is leaking

[runic gale]

@subtle bison found problem

it's one of those mirror's (one-way mirror)

[subtle bison]

there is a script that is supposed to remove those on map load but i guess it stopped working?
do this ent_remove_all func_reflective_glass

[runic gale]

i think admin clean up caused

[subtle bison]

more 3d skybox fixes, still need to figure out what to do for rp maps that stack playable areas

[compact blaze]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3431491351

@livid rapids get to work wink wink /silly

[jade edge]

BLACK OPS THEME INTENSIFIES

[livid rapids]

any way to cull only map geometry beyond tools/toolsskybox?

That would solve the stacking problem

[subtle bison]

yea thats what im doing rn for these new fixes

im not sure why its not applying to those maps atm

[livid rapids]

Load one up in hammer, they probably don't use toolsskybox

[subtle bison]

ye

[livid rapids]

Many have vmfs available

[subtle bison]

i was gonna decompile if that wasnt the case

[livid rapids]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1601428630&searchtext=rp

[willow fog]

Are the vertices blowing up still?

[livid rapids]

this one stacks and has vmf on gdrive

[subtle bison]

i tracked it down, view frustrum tries to touch stuff inside the 3d skybox and its fucking up vertex values, if i turn it off it works perfectly fine

there is still flickering when walking around in interiors because the engine is culling the 3d skybox

[willow fog]

[subtle bison]

im gonna add some kind of ignore filter/whitelist for view frustrum so it doesnt touch anything in the 3dsky, should make the majority of maps playable

not sure if its good enough to leave r_3dsky 1 on by default tho

[willow fog]

Also, I've noticed that on some maps, the hdri skybox disappears at certain camera angles or locations

[subtle bison]

are you spawning the box or using the one that's always under the player

[willow fog]

I'm spawning it

I didn't know there's one always under me

[subtle bison]

do this instead of using the actual entity

it wont ever cull

[willow fog]

Hmm. Interesting

lemme grab the latest update

[subtle bison]

it should be in the initial 0.1 release

[willow fog]

Thanks github

[willow fog]

I was talking about the runtime

[subtle bison]

there is a new runtime build?

[willow fog]

Like your custom build of runtime plus comp

[willow fog]

Erm... What the sigma?

Okay, it worked

thx cr

lov u

[compact blaze]

has anyone noticed a weird thing where tfa weapons glow in the dark?

[meager oar]

dayum those buggy source engine cubemaps made it here aswell

[compact blaze]

any way to disable it?

[meager oar]

😅 no no those are not cubemaps, idk wats happening there

[compact blaze]

weird

im gonna cry

half the textures aren't even properly named 💔

[willow fog]

kek

[quiet scroll]

You could use powertoys, they have a powerrename feature that could help….atleast I think lol

[subtle bison]

looks like some cursed texture parameters

i dont think its a remix bug but more like a fixed function bug

[willow fog]

No that's the textures from the cod files

[compact blaze]

My main issue would be trying to identify what type of texture maps they are

[compact blaze]

It glows against the wall

So it’s not like the gun is rendered in a rasterized form

[subtle bison]

turn off RT in the runtime, does it still glow?

remix tries to interpret emissives via texture parameters sent from the game engine

[onyx ridge]

one day... gpu skinned meshes

mostly because then i can replace the built in primitives with smoother looking ones

[willow fog]

Viewmodels with actual motion blur and proper denoising since neither of them work properly without motion vectors

[quiet scroll]

Taking a wee break from portal 1.5 and jumping back into gmod

woah so many maps added

[compact blaze]

wdym 1.5?

[meager oar]

yus

[compact blaze]

the tiling 💔

wish there was a way to somehow fix that

looks great tho

[compact blaze]

whats the issue for gpu skinned meshes btw?

is it on remix's or gmod's side?

[onyx ridge]

gmod's iirc

i think it uses cpu skinning (or gpu but applies it before remix can see it?)

i think it's something that's based when a model gets imported

since there are quite a few non-rigged meshes (i.e almost all of gmod's own built in props) that have the 'randomised hash when moving' problem

(but either way it's always true for meshes that have bones™️)

[compact blaze]

Why does the grass have white/blue bits on it?

[meager oar]

there are two grass textures in te map one normal and the other one with flowers, the blue white bits one is te flower one

[compact blaze]

Ya it doesn’t look good tbh

Looks muddy

[meager oar]

hmm idk i like the combo

[compact blaze]

That’s fair

I just think the displacement is a bit too extreme

You can see how the texture stretches a lot

[meager oar]

u can adjust the displacements in remix menu, i like to keep it around 0.180 so the parralex is noticeable

0.060 and 0.400 dayum

[runic gale]

Maybe Portal 1 with Portal 2 textures and meshs

[half viper]

Hey @past notch, were portal prelude rtx modifications made on the source SDK?, if yes, can we see the modifications that were made? correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure that there is no issue in posting modified source SDK code

[past notch]

no, they weren't done via the SDK, they were engine-side

can't say much more than that I'm afraid

[half viper]

:(

damn it
it was worth a shot

[glossy mauve]

momster

[compact blaze]

trans woman with monster energy original???

impossible

i see no

[glossy mauve]

it did say it has estrogen on the texture lol

[compact blaze]

please show

[glossy mauve]

fixing my pc one sec

[compact blaze]

@livid rapids did u have this issue when trying to replace textures that were pure black and weren't rendered properly in remix (like the MWB weapons)

[livid rapids]

That's a hand I guess?

color2 Moment

I guess it has $color2 [1 0 0]

[willow fog]

Another day, another legally ambiguous answer from David

[steel lark]

i can't fix the sand grass displacement

[compact blaze]

Ya I think it does

[compact blaze]

actually nah

doesn't come with color 2

very weird since it looks fine when opened in an image editor

[meager oar]

Monstaaa

wait a sec it says momster da heck

[subtle bison]

moved majority of custom world renderer code to c++ ☺️

less engine bottlenecks

[modern quest]

awesome

[subtle bison]

[RTX Fixes] Built chunked meshes in 0.01 seconds

took advantage of some AVX extensions and now it builds meshes faster than the map can load

[modern quest]

C++ ftw

now write it in rust for 0.001 second loads 😛

[subtle bison]

claude 3.7 really helped me a lot with this

im not good with C++ so definitely all the credit goes to it lol

[steel lark]

Nanosecond loading

[steel lark]

now write in python for 4 minute loads

[quiet scroll]

The detail textures are soooooo annoying lol, you can remove them in the toolkit but they're not stable enough to reflect in the runtime haha

[livid rapids]

@subtle bison Is this you

[runic gale]

Make sure texture grass and Sand texture set as Decals

Only way to make Grass and Sand blends together.

[glossy mauve]

sad the dx90 .vtx patch doesn't work for me

[subtle bison]

hu? it should. Are you using x64 or x32

[subtle bison]

no sir

[livid rapids]

So there are multiple CR people

Interesting

[subtle bison]

i guess, i think i know what map this is but I haven't tried it yet

[glossy mauve]

32

i have no clue why it dosen't work

trough probably because the gmod version im using is so old it still uses hl2.exe

[subtle bison]

any reason to sticking to x32? we've moved onto x64 now

[glossy mauve]

lazy ig

and is there any easy way to port the stuff i made on the editor to the new one?

[subtle bison]

unfortunately no, unless you downgrade x64 to a build before December

haven't tested that with the compat mod tho

[glossy mauve]

i see

yeah im sticking with the old ver just because porting would be messy

gonna try a new install tough

btw i tried using skurty's installer and it didn't really work, do you need to install the runtime aswell?

[subtle bison]

it should provide everything

it probably stopped working due to many gmod updates

not sure

[glossy mauve]

or just not detecting my external drive route correctly idk

very cool that they made it tho

love the accessibility

[onyx ridge]

waiting impatiently for 0.6.0.....

[steel lark]

Same

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison I wanna ask what improvements/features to you plan for 0.6?

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/issues/12
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/issues/11
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/issues/10

pretty much these 3 issues are whats gonna change in 0.6.0

its 99% bug fixes and optimizations

[compact blaze]

Btw do u think it’s possible to add a roadmap to the GitHub for new features and changes

[subtle bison]

yea

[compact blaze]

Ah ok ty, how much better does it feel compared to 0.4.3 so far?

[subtle bison]

if we're talking engine bottlenecks, its much faster, especially in larger maps

if you're GPU bound already, you wont notice a difference

so small maps for example will run the same even though the underlying game is much more optimized

as for release time, its gonna be a while, trying to move everything over to C++ and then fixing all of the visual bugs is a major pain

[steel lark]

just download more vram

[compact blaze]

Tbh I think with remix you’re always gpu bound

[subtle bison]

nah there's definitely a few maps where im engine bound

[modern quest]

you can be CPU bound too

[compact blaze]

I envy you

[compact blaze]

Ah u mean like maps where it goes to like literally 5 fps

[subtle bison]

nah even ones around 50-40fps

[compact blaze]

What resolution settings are u running for remix?

[subtle bison]

1080p dlss ultra perf

i know when im engine bound because you can toggle RT in the runtime and the fps counter is the same lol

[compact blaze]

Ah ok

Well whatever works

I hope it goes well

[compact blaze]

Do you have any features/additions planned for the mod In the future other than the system that turns props to models

[subtle bison]

nothing atm, just trying to get all of the current issues fixed.

[compact blaze]

Ah so like you don’t have anything you wish to add yet until all the kinks get worked out

[subtle bison]

for now yea, its already an undertaking trying to figure all of this stuff out. If you have suggestions of what to add let me know

[compact blaze]

Mhm ofc

I hope it all gets worked out

[subtle bison]

ty

[turbid barn]

is anybody except skyrtyyskirts publishing enhanced assets?

[subtle bison]

i think @livid rapids has

[quiet scroll]

I wish more people did

[drifting hinge]

what will happen to gmod rtx after hl2 rtx release

[onyx ridge]

gone

reduced to atoms

[subtle bison]

hopefully more people willing to help me develop this compat mod

i pray its x64 so we can use its stdshader files

so eyes and n shit work

[drifting hinge]

FUCK eyes... #certifiedsighthaters

[onyx ridge]

we aim to cut all homeless people in half

[drifting hinge]

cell division

[livid rapids]

In a week or so I'll upload some new stuff, I'm away from the pc atm

[subtle bison]

my first custom api function

we now have control of the remix ui and detect what state it's in

[livid rapids]

sdk 2013 sp has x64 support (since portal sdk 2013 branch leaked we know that) but since they are not using sdk they've most likely been given full engine access way before the frog branch was even thought of

[subtle bison]

it fixes some input issues when opening the remix menu

[livid rapids]

So I'm pretty sure it's gonna be 32 bit

The only real remixable game that needs x64 is this channel right here

[subtle bison]

btw i think the remix api is just cursed without the bridge, even just opening the menu a few times via the game can crash it

the same way the api lights do

[livid rapids]

Since most ram/vram consuming stuff goes through the bridge

[livid rapids]

Bridge team pls fix

Or dxvk team

Or both

[subtle bison]

it would be best if we just had a x64 version of the bridge client

idk i might be able to figure that out myself

i feel like the custom remix api function was harder

lol

[livid rapids]

I mean that's just defeating the purpose of the bridge itself

[subtle bison]

sort of, bridge handles input and the API, in addition to the d3d9 stuff

retrofitting a custom dxvk-remix build is harder to maintain

[steel lark]

[subtle bison]

ok well it seems stable now, made TMC only control input when it detects remix menu state changes, the previous hook i had did some funky stuff

no more accidentally locking input when the menu is closed

yipeee

it only took 2 days 🥳

works when its paused too

just like the old x32 bridge days

[compact blaze]

Oh wait 2013 sdk will get portal support soon?

[compact blaze]

Please stop recording in h265 💔

[subtle bison]

but muh disk space

[compact blaze]

The main benefit of h265 is how well it keeps the video quality at the same bitrate it won’t be any lower in h264

Hell even go for vp9 or av1

[subtle bison]

i would do av1 if i had hardware encoding

but fine i will do h264

[compact blaze]

Thank you ❤️

[subtle bison]

doesnt look like discord will ever fix h265 for some clients

sad

[compact blaze]

Terrible

[compact blaze]

Was it 30 series or 40 series that added av1 encoding?

[subtle bison]

for decoding sure, but idk about encoding

ik intel arc does for sure

[modern quest]

40 and up has AV1 encoding

afaik 20 series and up has AV1 decoding

[subtle bison]

wow im surprised

[modern quest]

https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new

[compact blaze]

I wonder how many phones people use now have av1 decoding

Or at least vp9

[subtle bison]

looks like its 30 series and above

[modern quest]

that's def not accurate though

[subtle bison]

2050 is ampere apparently

[subtle bison]

reminds me of the 750 ti being maxwell despite the rest of the 700 series being kepler

weird nvidia shenanigans

[compact blaze]

2060 and above being?

[subtle bison]

nah 2060 and the rest is turing

its just the 2050 being ampere

[compact blaze]

What would u say an accurate description of h265 vs h264 is?

[compact blaze]

Is ampere the 30 series architecture

[subtle bison]

yea

[modern quest]

it's more efficient/provides better quality at the same bitrate. as a result you can use a lower bitrate to achieve a smaller file while retaining the same level of quality

sooo using h265 makes sense

[subtle bison]

especially if the hardware h264 encoder is bad and looks a lot worse than cpu encoding

ty amd

[modern quest]

on Nvidia h264 looks atrocious, but HEVC is awesome

[subtle bison]

its the same for the amd igpu i have on my 7950X3D

it looks horrible with h264

[modern quest]

and this is typical for all hardware accelerated encoding, AMD just tends to be by far the worst

with enough tuning you can get pretty close to CPU encoding

(on Nvidia)

[subtle bison]

i should probably just do cpu encoding anyway lol

at this rate

[modern quest]

if you can stand it, yeah

[subtle bison]

does discord support av1?

[modern quest]

no 😦

only for streaming

[subtle bison]

oml

we literally use a chromium/electron base, what is the barrier of entry for those devs 💀

even ios and android support it via react native

[modern quest]

it's probably the same way they don't support MKV. you can just rename MKV to MP4 and it'll work just fine 😛

[subtle bison]

pardon my french but that is the dumbest fucking shit ever

[modern quest]

Targeting identical visual quality, NVENC was 2515.38% faster to encode, but with a 37.73% file size increase vs CPU encoding

this was my best result with older NVENC on a 3090. it's better with 40 and 50 series. and i've learned some more optimization methods since then

[subtle bison]

absolutely pointless

[modern quest]

that was with HEVC

AV1 is even better

[livid rapids]

Does discord even support av1

Does my phone

[subtle bison]

i think all moderately recent smartphones support it

at least from the last 2 years right?

[modern quest]

AV1 decoding support is pretty widespread now

[livid rapids]

I pray this custom rom has av1 decoding

[subtle bison]

custom roms wont magically give you new hardware capabilities

those are usually in your device tree which dont change with custom roms

so if your hardware supports it, your rom will

[livid rapids]

Software!

Jk

Software av1 on a Snapdragon 610

[subtle bison]

ouch

probably fine though still? i would imagine it would play back somewhat smoothly depending on the res/bitrate

[livid rapids]

That shit'll be half a frame per minute

[turbid barn]

Hardware AV1 Encoding was added on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (Late 2023 - Galaxy S24 Ultra, etc) on mobile
and Ada Lovelace (40**)

[subtle bison]

what about iOS and mediatek devices?

[turbid barn]

can't say. Lemme google for it

[compact blaze]

Ah ok ty, it’s just a shame it doesn’t play on my damn iOS

I love discord

[turbid barn]

MTK G series doesn't have AV1 encoding
