[turbid barn]

but Dimensity series had AV1 from ~2020

[modern quest]

iirc phones without accelerated AV1 decoding can still play it, it's just gonna use CPU instead

[turbid barn]

Nanoreview says that Apple has AV1 starting from A17 Pro (iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 Base or newer) but it says that they have h265 support too 🤷‍♂️

doesn't iphone has video recording in h265?

[subtle bison]

h265 has definitely been hardware accelerated on a lot of devices from the last 10 years

its strictly a discord issue i guess

[modern quest]

even my low end TV stick has it

and yeah discord only added HEVC acceleration late last year

[subtle bison]

would like to know the name of the discord person who added it
😉

[modern quest]

it's kinda stupid too, considering AV1 is royalty free whereas HEVC is not

[runic gale]

No Upscalling Textures, Just Generated Normal/Roughness Map and Some Height from Source Textures.

[compact blaze]

Wait didn’t discord add av1 support to stream 4K video?

[compact blaze]

How easy was it to generate those texture maps through shadermap 4?

[subtle bison]

looks really good

[runic gale]

easy

for roughness map for some reason Black is Shiny/White, While White is Solid Black/No Light (if you use the displacement texture from shadermap 4)

[compact blaze]

Would u say it’s better/easier than materialize?

[runic gale]

i just use Imbatch to convert DDS to TGA then drag TGA into shadermap 4 and it's generated the textures.

[runic gale]

Idk, I don't like the way how they function.

it feels like extra clicks

no texture loaded

i'll drag my tga texture in.

then it's loaded and generated.

and you can fine tune the generated setting.

etc

[compact blaze]

Ah ok asking cause Materialize is an actual pain idk what horrible person designed that tool and decided you can’t live check your changes

[compact blaze]

Oh wow just that easy?

I wonder how it compares to generative ai solutions

[runic gale]

Yeah, however the pro version does have PBR generation thing.

But you can try in Free version

But for basic use it’s free

[onyx ridge]

discord is back assward with support for formats

it doesn't support apng

** ** except it does as it can be used for stickers

[runic gale]

It’s old software but still works very well

And you can export the generated texture with any format that software can export

[compact blaze]

Only when there’s money on the line ok

[modern quest]

only for live streaming

[compact blaze]

Ya meant live streaming sry

[subtle bison]

arc9 hud seems to work fine if you mark it as a UI texture

though its a bit cropped off-screen?

wow that video is laggy wtf

ty shitty h264

[steel lark]

also @subtle bison do you know why when rendering spawnmenu icons the screen gets black?

[subtle bison]

ye cuz its creating a cam3d instance to render the icon

its pretty broken

if you want working spawnmenu icons, disable RT in the runtime temporarily and then build them

[steel lark]

hmm

can you stop icons from rendering altogether?

it's kinda annoying sometimes

[subtle bison]

gmod should only build them once

[steel lark]

yeah ig

[subtle bison]

3dsky is mucho perfecto, only maps with issues is RP ones that stack playable areas, which will be a bigger pain to fix lol

but any map that has a normal 3dskybox works perfectly

[steel lark]

even gm_bigcity?

with the skybox on top?

[subtle bison]

normal big city or the improved one

gm_bigcity_remastered seems to work fine

normal bigcity works as well

it doesnt really matter where the 3dsky is located now, i made the world renderer only build chunks in the playable area of the map

so it works for all maps that use traditional 3d skyboxes

gm_bigcity_winter

for whatever reason gm_bigcity_improved is rasterized, but otherwise the 3d skybox works there as well

[steel lark]

[runic gale]

damn

@subtle bison either need turn off custom world and load 3d skybox after.

[runic gale]

When's the new update?

[willow fog]

Tomorrow

[subtle bison]

dont lie

displacement rendering is gonna be the end of me

[drifting hinge]

the evilplacements

[subtle bison]

yes

precisely

rgb rocks

[drifting hinge]

gay rocks

[drifting hinge]

one upside to remix that isnt just it being a cool graphics gimmick is that dynamic base building stuff wont have the weird dynamic prop lighting anymore

+1000 social credit

[compact blaze]

Can you try load in the hdri entity to see what it looks like it different lighting

[earnest yew]

people who think remix is a gimmick piss me the fuuuuck off bro

[drifting hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/vaas-far-cry3-that-is-crazy-gif-26006603

[drifting hinge]

sw bombs v3 gonna go hard after particles are unfucked in 64bit

unless they already are

[subtle bison]

i've got a few working

like smoke and fire

unfortunately its a manual process to fix 😦

[drifting hinge]

im killing remix

[subtle bison]

its not remix

a lot of source games removed a lot of fixed function code to render particles so i kinda had to cheat them to make em render again

[drifting hinge]

ok

im still killing remix

[subtle bison]

😦

[drifting hinge]

👁️

[subtle bison]

hl2 maps + the c++ optimizations for my compat mod + disabling other addons = 🏎️ 🏎️ 🏎️ 🏎️ 🏎️

400+fps on the engine alone, if you have a 50 series card, you'll be getting a lot of FPS

all without culling 😊

[drifting hinge]

this explains

[subtle bison]

ty hl2 maps for being well optimized 😍

[drifting hinge]

the sun is really fucking leaking

[subtle bison]

leaking outside 🌞

[subtle bison]

kleiner lookin all pasty

[quiet scroll]

DAMNNNNN

[subtle bison]

might as well replay ep1 in gmod rtx i guess

[drifting hinge]

kleiner got sleimed

[subtle bison]

alyx broke

[onyx ridge]

[subtle bison]

this is why we need a displacement renderer 🙂

funny enough, it works fine for most hl2 maps, but any gmod or css maps, and i instantly get issues

i guess they're less complex or something

nvm lol

[zenith marlin]

im sorry skurty im pretty shit with servers
i enjoy taken spins if they respect source material but add immersion

auggghhh these look fucking .,...

[lament quartz]

wait, thats the game app

[subtle bison]

?

[livid rapids]

Happened to me in synergy

[runic gale]

@subtle bison this map refuses to load in, but just hangs at loading. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3270528563
Not sure if it's caused by there's dx9 models in content pack. When i try load content pack in different map in q menu game just would freeze and not responding while loading icons.

[subtle bison]

ofc its a rp map

[runic gale]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[subtle bison]

ye my game locks up too

just tried it

if the models themselves are locking up the engine, they probably use some sort of compile feature that isnt compatible with fixed function rendering

i cant do anything about that unfortunately

[runic gale]

yea

[earnest yew]

try one of the obnoxiously big hl2 rp maps

[runic gale]

disabling content model pack actually made the map loaded.

[earnest yew]

no models tho

[runic gale]

ah well

[earnest yew]

[runic gale]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[runic gale]

@subtle bison https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2919486362 this work but as soon get off ship or into the hanger bay the game just froze.

[subtle bison]

if its using the same cursed models im not surprised

[runic gale]

Nocliping outside of map dosen't crash.

[subtle bison]

ye prob because its not rendering the prop when out of bounds

[runic gale]

hmm

never mind, it's hang probably trying to load up the props

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/jim-carrey-grinch-smile-gif-23487341

i pray this gets me somewhere, i wanna kill the custom world render and view frustrum addons and just disable engine culling 😭

[runic gale]

[runic gale]

how do i capture the animated textures?

[willow fog]

Very carefully

[runic gale]

hmm yea

[willow fog]

Scary

I'll be guaranteed to shit my pants if a machine that large makes a sound that loud

[runic gale]

lol

[runic gale]

wym?

[compact blaze]

What are these assets supposed to be?

[subtle bison]

surprised this 3d minimap addon works ootb

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3434805028

[steel lark]

i was expecting it to since it says it isn't real 3d just stacked 2d layers

but idk remix shenanigans

[subtle bison]

i was expecting it to use some weird render hooks that would break depth

kinda like beatrun

[steel lark]

the original beatrunner?

or the community one?

[subtle bison]

this one
https://github.com/JonnyBro/beatrun

it works but everything becomes see-through on remix lol

[steel lark]

the community one

maybe the og works

i'll see if my friend still has it

[subtle bison]

prob would be easier to use the community one, especially if it's based off the original

[steel lark]

idk they seem to have a lot of technical differences so

maybe it works

idk

[runic gale]

?

[runic gale]

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=180077636

[lament quartz]

Day 3836272 of wishing this would work well with remix and have its animation💔

[subtle bison]

looks better and worse since the last time i tried it lol

[compact blaze]

Ah ok

[subtle bison]

looks somewhat ok on a map without displacements

i think its doing some kind of funky renderhook for viewmodels

[runic gale]

the video i posted was using the PBRify Upscalled and generated Roughness/Normal + Heights.

here's with still using Upscalled PBIfy Diffuse Texture, but Normal and Roughness were generated from Shadermap 4 with Source Non-upscalled Texture.

[steel lark]

both look real good

[turbid barn]

i've noticed 2 bugs on beatrun

1. Runner hands brokes rendering, but using any other SWEP works pretty well

movement, parkour have no problem. Except runner hands.

2. Im not sure if that's a remix issue. But in Vanilla Gmod, if there is any incompatible addons (from i know - vmanip, gmod legs 3) , after game start you will see warn message with list of incompatible addons and it's asking to turn off them

but in remix one, if i have Vmanip. gmod legs 3 etc, i don't see that warning message .It's just loads sandbox gamemode

but if i turn off these addons, beatrun will work

[turbid barn]

i wrote that before i watched your beatrun vids above

[subtle bison]

fixed most of the game's base particles and one particle mod

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917793948&searchtext=particle

vfire is still broken for god knows why

unfortunately this is a manual process of editing VMTs, i cant find anything on the lua side to intercept material creation

[willow fog]

Man

[subtle bison]

ok i think i can fix vfire

i just fixed mmod fire using some weird fuckery with VMTs

fingers crossed 🤞

[subtle bison]

👀

life

we are so back with particles

[runic gale]

ship the update now

@subtle bison shame that fire dosen't glow.

[subtle bison]

hm? it does, its just subtle

[runic gale]

probably needs more brighter

[subtle bison]

you can see it in the 3rd vid

[runic gale]

yea

@subtle bison https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=242776816 this probably helps to get rtx.conf to save every particles in the game.

[subtle bison]

[runic gale]

"Includes every effect from all compatible games you have mounted (Gmod, TF2, HL2: Episode 2, Portal, and CSS). Other addons can also add their own particle lists."

[subtle bison]

that's a lot of time

[livid rapids]

do vfire particles just get bigger or are they different textures?

[runic gale]

yeah ik

[subtle bison]

they have 3 different textures, each texture has 6 sizes

[runic gale]

need HL2 fire particles to work

[subtle bison]

they all look very similar to each other

hl2 fire particles work

well not in the current release

[runic gale]

not for me on maps.

[livid rapids]

Every size is a different hash I gather?

[subtle bison]

yea i meant to say i have fixed them but i havent pushed 0.6.0 yet

[earnest yew]

what the fuck does beatmap to do remix

[subtle bison]

its just 3 hashes, i already tagged them

[earnest yew]

i'm genuinely so lost

[livid rapids]

Oh

I was thinking bigger size = brighter emissive/light but I guess not

Wait we have api lights

[subtle bison]

nah api lights are dead

[livid rapids]

Well

[subtle bison]

they do not work well at all without the bridge

i tried

its too damn unstable

[subtle bison]

can you specify that in the VMT? i had to make them from scratch to fix the sprite errors

also remix lets you specify the emissive light strength, remix also supports particle lighting, i probably just need to increase the strength

[turbid barn]

This is gm_consturct_rtx?

[subtle bison]

just gm_construct

[subtle bison]

oh WOW that made a difference

[turbid barn]

And HDRI works well there, unlike _rtx one?

[subtle bison]

HDRI works everywhere

at least it should

[turbid barn]

i've didn' tried usual construct, but on _rtx one hdri doesn't override "vanilla" sunlight

[subtle bison]

emissive strength at 20

holy shit

[runic gale]

When i tired run 32-bit verison while back. RTX-Remix actually pick up lights harshes from the Enities.

[subtle bison]

you need to disable the distant light as shown in the readme

good lord

[runic gale]

Probably Found my Old Footage RTX-Remix.

Replacement Asset Turned off.

Turned On.

[turbid barn]

On github?

[subtle bison]

ye

[turbid barn]

hm, i've re-read all readme and didn't found anything about distant lights

[subtle bison]

it's the 6th step

[turbid barn]

this one is disabled

[subtle bison]

oops directional

mb

[subtle bison]

so disabling directional doesnt disable the sun at all?

[turbid barn]

i was never turned this setting on

[subtle bison]

you need to turn it on

[turbid barn]

oh...

haha, my bad, im sorry

[subtle bison]

lol all good

[turbid barn]

btw i've turned this setting few minutes ago, then my game crashed

so that's why i asked you

[subtle bison]

ye its a remix bug adjusting any of those settings

[turbid barn]

WW

[steel lark]

wow nice

is the update gonna release in march too?

man there are so many things march

THEY ARE??

wtf

[subtle bison]

i hope to, i still haven't fixed all of the bugs on my to-do list

[steel lark]

funny https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Speakers-and-Displays/I-want-Youtube-music-to-never-play-videos-ever-how/m-p/542706

[drifting hinge]

first this i see opening channel

💎 this is a gem

now someone edit the particles so theres smoke

[subtle bison]

i didnt see any material errors for smoke

so i assume that's how vfire is supposed to look?

or am i wrong

[drifting hinge]

because there arent any smoke particles

vfire is ass because of that

[subtle bison]

lol weird that it doesnt have any

[steel lark]

really?

i thought it had lol

[drifting hinge]

i asked the creator of vfire

ermmm apparently theres no point to vfire smoke if its not hyper realistic and makes you lose oxygen

[subtle bison]

what

[drifting hinge]

theres not gonna be any smoke

[subtle bison]

ye confirmed

other mods have working smoke

[drifting hinge]

theres a command for vfire that has smoke in the command

but it doesnt do anything at all

iirc

[subtle bison]

there is no smoke VMTs either

i looked

nor do the pcf's call anything

[drifting hinge]

its over.

it would be so awesome

[subtle bison]

idk if i'd be able to do it, i have very small experience with modifying pcf's other than changing what material they use

hopefully there is a particle wizzard here or something who can

[drifting hinge]

particle rizzard

dont caree someone port squad explosion effects to gmod

[subtle bison]

wish this could be individually controlled per texture hash

unfortunately it affects literally everything

stupidly bright physgun

[drifting hinge]

how do animated particles work in remix

like how do you replace them

[subtle bison]

same how you would in source, a sprite sheet

[willow fog]

Particle lighting is kinda doodoo anyways

[subtle bison]

better than spawning a light

[willow fog]

Very screen space. The surface right behind the particle lights up no matter how far you are

[drifting hinge]

someone... squad explosions... remix... gmod...

[willow fog]

I think spawning a light is better. Remix can handle hundreds of lights no problem

[drifting hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-gif-25117042

[subtle bison]

yea but api lights are fucked in x64

im completely removing them in 0.6.0

interacting with the api at all without a bridge is unstable

and also not to mention via a dynamically loaded module dll

[willow fog]

Well, API lights have always been fucked

Have a dummy bridge or smth

Idk

[subtle bison]

i have no idea where to start with that 💀

i think the lightupdaters work well enough to replace the need of api lights

also think vfire spawns lights?

lemme check the cvars

ye there is one for light brightness but it doesnt do anything

ofc

wonder if this works well enough
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3400214691&searchtext=fire+light

doesnt work

[drifting hinge]

demon lighting

[subtle bison]

ok so hl2 fire entities have smoke??? this is with vfire enabled

[compact blaze]

Omg what addon did you use for those explosion particles?

[subtle bison]

vfire

[subtle bison]

vfire flamethrower is peak

@compact blaze also forgot to mention, mmod particles
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3102022800

[compact blaze]

Ah ok thx

[loud mural]

I think xoxor4d modified his Remix so it could individually address emissives with the same hash iirc I don't remember if it was one Portal 2 or L4D2 though

[runic gale]

Well, EP1 or EP2 have Smokes on Fire Textures

[runic gale]

What happens if remix runs out of hashes.

[ember grove]

both have that functionality now 👍

• using an unused renderstate before drawing the mesh to specify it's emissive intensity

[runic gale]

hmm

having issues

Idk why Opening/Closing texture is blacked out. and there's solid flat for few momments.

[runic gale]

Another bug when look on other side and the mesh or texture would go invisble, until look away and look back it's fixed.

Here's gate working in the dark. Might swap the world UI to actuall Emissvie but there's alot texture like 50 frames.

[half viper]

what mod is that

[steel lark]

this one

[steel lark]

pretty cool that these gta 5 npcs work

wish i was big brained enough to pbr them

[runic gale]

I wish there's quicker way to capture ton frames of animated textures.

[lament quartz]

why is my gmod with rtx more purple than purple guy 😭

(I am newbie)

[lament quartz]

?

[hasty sonnet]

you prob did something wrong

[lament quartz]

Ima send a screenshot later

[runic gale]

@subtle bison uhhh what i'm supposed to do

[subtle bison]

you can press ignore and the game should still run fine, tho what did you do to trigger a remix crash?

[runic gale]

capture a scene

[subtle bison]

does it always do that?

[runic gale]

nah

It happens when i ran out of space

then i gave extra like 50gb space

[subtle bison]

oh well there you go lol

[runic gale]

and error still popping up

when there's extra space

[subtle bison]

so did you restart your game after clearing space?

[runic gale]

when i click ignores then gmod went not responding.

[subtle bison]

i would reboot the game then

so how long have RT scopes been working?

i think this is with TFA, unfortunately the RT texture doesnt show in remix so i cant make it path traced

[runic gale]

I did

even when not responding.

[subtle bison]

delete your capture folder then?

[runic gale]

i deleted the recent made captures

from todays

still not work

[subtle bison]

so that error always shows now?

[runic gale]

sec

i'll check capture folders each folder and delete the today created files

see if that helps

[runic gale]

Idk maybe remix the model with actual Additonal RTX Glasses.

@subtle bison yep deleting the recent created files except AperturePBR_* from material folder just fixed.

even tho the material i've edited haven't shown for some reason when i got low-disk space.

yeah

for some reason it's changed the hashes.

guess have to start over again

[lament quartz]

Idk how to fix it lol

Its on the default settings

Is debug view on

How can I turn off it?

Go yo the debug tsb in the menu

[lament quartz]

nah

its not

Weird

Do I need to use another Rtx remix or

The rtx remix from the server

[willow fog]

How did you install it?

Did you use the Gmod patches?

[lament quartz]

I used the Rtx remix runtimer from this server and this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epx3qjlJdtA&t=316s

[willow fog]

What does the last word say?

[lament quartz]

Oh

I just noticed now

[lament quartz]

Kk

could've been any one of these.

pretty sure it's the "The Backrooms - Complex" one.

[steel lark]

i recognize that it's the first one

[runic gale]

@subtle bison okay. Every time i load my game. the material i edited, don't show but for some reason it's keeps changing the hashes

[subtle bison]

that's pretty rare for a material, which one is it? its probably best to circle it while in the geometry debug view

[subtle bison]

lmao

i've really pissed off the engine now

[drifting hinge]

Engine went errmmmm

[subtle bison]

i see a bunch of different colors, which one is it

[runic gale]

dark blue, light blue and green-ish blue in the ring not the triangles thing.

[subtle bison]

can you just circle them with the pen in snipping tool?

[runic gale]

these 3 materials

also the main thing too.

expect the main middle button seems un-affected

[subtle bison]

if its a skinned mesh, the hashes will always change, but that should not affect texture replacements

[subtle bison]

unless it generates its own via render targets or some similar system

[runic gale]

hmm

before it was working fine

even changing different map or rebooting the game

it's fine has my own material

now it's decided to be different

changing hashes

[subtle bison]

the addon must be doing some weird stuff with textures

[runic gale]

clearly not the addon.

it was working fine before

until low-space bug happened

[subtle bison]

other things could've been affected by that other than remix

if its really buggy i'd just delete the replacement mod and re-import your stuff

[runic gale]

ugh

the materials i worked on gm_construct with that mod seems unaffected aswell.

[runic gale]

@subtle bison it did it again

[subtle bison]

as i said before, the hashes will always change for skinned meshes, but your texture replacements do not depend on hashes to work

so your texture issue is unrelated to the hashes

[subtle bison]

gm_flatgrass gpu destroyer edition

real map is gm_flatgrass_remastered, all of this alpha foliage plummets my fps

gweather's aurora borealis kinda works

[steel lark]

wow

uhm may i ask for the release pretty please (it rhymed)

[subtle bison]

not yet

also i think gweather should work relatively fine on the latest published release? i didnt do anything to fix it

ik rain and stuff is broken tho

[steel lark]

not really talking about it really just want the performance updates

i'll test it later

also do you know why after some update the media player just stopped being emissive?

i know for you it still is but for me it just isn't anymore

idk why that could be happening

[subtle bison]

did you try making the video player texture marked as world-space ui again?

[steel lark]

oh did you have to that before?

i don't really think i did that

i'll try

[subtle bison]

idk if i ever pushed a rtx.conf with that in the first place

[earnest yew]

would it run better if it was all replaced with crazy high poly foilage models

[subtle bison]

speaking of replacements

[willow fog]

Mmm. Noise

[subtle bison]

give me a 5090 and that issue will go away

[willow fog]

(it won't)

[subtle bison]

(i wont have to use dlss ultra perf @ 1080p )

🙂

[modern quest]

DLSS 4 helps a lot too

[subtle bison]

too bad we cant find a easy way to get transformers working fully on x64

😦

[modern quest]

just setting the global override works for me, i have no idea why it's such a pain for others 😦

tested in beamng.drive too, which uses x64

[subtle bison]

did you use a different set of dlss?

[modern quest]

just the global override through profile inspector on driver 572

[subtle bison]

572.16?

[modern quest]

whatever the initial driver release was with it

i'm on 572.47 now and it still works fine

[subtle bison]

which specific inspector tool, the one pinned in your guide?

[modern quest]

yes

you should also go to the profile for Portal RTX and make sure it's not overriding the global settings

[subtle bison]

just checked, no overrides

do you remember which preset to use? K for non RR?

[modern quest]

you should update to the latest driver btw, it's a lot more stable

[modern quest]

yes

and J for RR

[modern quest]

when you do, make sure you do a clean install through the Custom install setting

it'll wipe your driver settings. maybe something in there is messed up

[subtle bison]

yeah still a mix of CNN/transformers with RR enabled

[steel lark]

for me it just keeps setting back to default

[subtle bison]

K works with RR off

ill try doing a clean driver install

[steel lark]

is there a way to enable atleast on gmod?

[modern quest]

what does?

[subtle bison]

i think they're talking about the nvidia app

[steel lark]

the global setting

[steel lark]

yeah

[subtle bison]

yeah dont use that

[modern quest]

we're talking about a different tool

[subtle bison]

#offtopic-game-discussion message

[steel lark]

i'll try using it

it works on the 3060 right?

[subtle bison]

it works on all RTX capable cards

[steel lark]

cool

[modern quest]

there is a way to enable overrides for all games in the Nvidia app, but it won't work for Remix afaik

[subtle bison]

i heard it also causes issues in general

i uninstalled the app since then

[modern quest]

the app itself? there's a perf hit that comes with it, but iirc they fixed that?

otherwise it's solid, i haven't had issues

[subtle bison]

nah i think uncle said it conflicts with the nvprofileinspector

[modern quest]

it doesn't

i'm using a mixture of both

all the Nvidia app does is customize per-game driver profiles

can confirm it's working in beamng with a fresh setup. literally only applied the global override through profile inspector

[subtle bison]

just did a clean driver install and only set these, looks good?

[modern quest]

hm

set RR preset to 0x00000004

the rest looks good to me

[subtle bison]

😦

actually for some reason both presets arent applying

[modern quest]

show me the Portal RTX profile too

[subtle bison]

non-RR is F despite me setting K

[modern quest]

show me what it says in the bottom left for that please

[subtle bison]

global, portal with rtx (no overrides)

[steel lark]

WOW IT LOOKS SO GOOD

[modern quest]

yeah, hm

so it is overriding but it's failing to set presets?

do you have DLSSTweaks installed or something?

[subtle bison]

yeah, but i only have it for the global hud

though its not installed for this copy of gmod

[lament quartz]

hallo

[subtle bison]

here is the global settings after making changes in nvprofileinspector

[lament quartz]

there is a mirror fix for gmod btw?

[subtle bison]

there was for x32, but i dont think anyone has made one for x64

[lament quartz]

damn

[lament quartz]

Bro is really sweating

[modern quest]

and everything else in dlsstweaks is default?

[subtle bison]

yep

[modern quest]

also try turning FG override on like this

[steel lark]

bro is oily 💀

[lament quartz]

😭

[subtle bison]

no changes, really strange since it seemed to work before upgrading my driver?

maybe a DDU is in order lol

[modern quest]

tbh i'm inclined to believe something is messed up with your system lol

[subtle bison]

not surprised

[modern quest]

this has worked for everyone else i've talked with

[subtle bison]

yeah i believe you

ill probably end up doing a fresh 24H2 install anyway on a new SSD since my current one is not doing so good

yeah same results with a fresh driver and DDU

i wonder if i force the preset with DLSStweaks locally?

[subtle bison]

ye this works but no transformers on RR

[modern quest]

yeah it doesn't support RR annoyingly

[subtle bison]

wow i dont know how but in gpu-bound scenarios, my game is running much better after the DDU lol

[modern quest]

i wonder if you not having the Nvidia app is causing this

everyone i've talked to who tested this has it installed

[subtle bison]

i have it now

i chose express install

[modern quest]

express wouldn't have wiped your driver settings, so it's good you did DDU

did you launch the app?

[subtle bison]

ill clarify, i did a clean install without the nvidia app 1st time around, then i did DDU, then a express install

[modern quest]

with the app + the workaround to enable overrides in it, you can customize DLSS per Remix game

[subtle bison]

no

[modern quest]

try doing that and going through the initial setup

uncheck optimize games though

[subtle bison]

yeah i always do, ever since GFE had it in the old days 😅

[modern quest]

it also controls RR settings

as you can see it lines up

i'm not sure if this works without running the tool that overrides the app's settings

this is where you'd go to set it

[subtle bison]

ahh it only shows per app

i was wondering why i couldnt find it in global

its doing the usual thing where it ignores any settings i try to set

[modern quest]

what do you mean?

[subtle bison]

one sec

doesnt really matter what exe i add, does the same for all

[modern quest]

yeah

there's a fix

wanna do that

then close and re-open the app

[subtle bison]

still doing it
i let it finish refreshing, closed it, reopened it, did the same thing in the video, still reverts

[modern quest]

restart your computer. should fix it

it only happens the first time after it's set up

very annoying

it could also be doing it because it says it doesn't see support, in which case you'd need the workaround

which i can DM you if you want

[subtle bison]

yeah sure. just rebooted, still doing it

[half viper]

a case of

[willow fog]

The horrors of gmodx64

[subtle bison]

nah apparently its just my windows install

[willow fog]

I haven't been able to get dlss4 on gmod64 either

[subtle bison]

ye but i did some troubleshooting with kim and I'm having issues with the nvidia app applying global RR presets which means there is a bigger issue going on

[willow fog]

hmm

Interesting

[subtle bison]

it would also affect the nvidiaprofileinspector

[willow fog]

I haven't actually tested applying rr with the nv app

[subtle bison]

its completely broken for me

but according to kim it works with gmod rtx

so im gonna do a new windows install on another drive to test it later

[willow fog]

let me give it a shot

[willow fog]

Kim's method. I add gmod.exe to nv app, right?

[subtle bison]

ye, the one in bin/win64

also the launcher exe itself maybe

depends on how the driver sees the app

[modern quest]

don't add it manually, it doesn't seem to work that way at all

[willow fog]

fun

[modern quest]

@subtle bison is that what you did?

really this whole thing is just a fucking mess lol. sure would be nice if it just worked properly

[subtle bison]

portal rtx update when

[subtle bison]

ye

[modern quest]

well, that's why it didn't work then

[subtle bison]

i don't think there's any official gmod x64 profile for the nvidia app either

[modern quest]

doesn't seem like it unfortunately

[subtle bison]

you think nvidia takes requests?

why's this guy kinda look like me

Can't really get around how to stop getting changing the hashes

when it working fine before

[earnest yew]

@modern quest

how do i force dlss 4 to work in gmod?

I just have the dll's replaced

[willow fog]

#offtopic-game-discussion message

[earnest yew]

TY

lol

holy shit why is obs so laughably aids

[willow fog]

maybe turn the settings up

[runic gale]

@subtle bison only solution to fix is spawn a prop instead of entites, then edit the prop material and save. and now entites should read it anyway.

even loading onto next map

[earnest yew]

i tweak it by one setting and that video is 400 mb

[modern quest]

i can help you tune it real quick

just send a pic of the settings

[earnest yew]

do you want advanced or simple

its prolly cause im just using simple

[modern quest]

yeahhhh you want advanced

[earnest yew]

i havent changed anything in advanced

[modern quest]

try those

[earnest yew]

holy shit

it looks good and not crippling my storage

[willow fog]

Didn't even mark the particle texture, smh

[runic gale]

urgh Game keeps changing the texture hashes and it's really starting to tick me off.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[runic gale]

i fucking give up

keeps changing

[compact blaze]

Holy shit wtf?

This looks beautiful

[earnest yew]

it is marked

for some reason its doing that

[subtle bison]

ye i see the same issue with gweather, i dont think remix handles multiple alpha textures being stacked very well

[earnest yew]

especially low quality big ones

[runic gale]

idk why texture hashes keep changing now, when it was working fine before.

[turbid barn]

is anyone already tested RTX x64 with VPhysics Jolt?

[earnest yew]

yes

its good

i remember cr noting a issue

but i havent seen anything while using it

[steel lark]

it works well but honestly i like glide vehicles too much to use it

(glide is very weird with jolt)

[subtle bison]

it was an issue exclusive to me, fps would go down into single digits when doing any complex stuff with props

reinstalling the game fixed it

hi chat

hi

[earnest yew]

why do all particles look so fucking crunchy

[earnest yew]

@subtle bison

do you know any car mods that work with vjolt

[subtle bison]

nah i havent messed with car mods

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet did you ever get further looking into the x64 cullbox patches? i've pretty much hit a wall with optimizing the modification of render bounds

[earnest yew]

https://tenor.com/view/science-gif-27088069

[keen rivet]

uhhhhh

well yeah i got as far as patching r_cullbox completely

theres just another culling thing happening somewhere

[subtle bison]

something completly different?

[keen rivet]

well you said there was still culling with the r_cullbox stuff right?

so its whatever that was

[subtle bison]

ah

i might try to take a jab at it later. i cant find any way to not overwhelm the engine when modifying render bounds since most of them overlap in large maps, causing really bad perf drops when moving the player or camera

its not too common but its really annoying

[runic gale]

I'm still getting annoyed by the same textures getting hashes changes every time load on new map or reboot the game.

[livid rapids]

I remember my hashes being completely changed one time, unfortunately took factory reseting gmod to fix it but if you have gmod with remix on a separate folder just copy any settings from your main install

Just use the factory reset .bat file

if you have it on a separate folder you'll also need to copy over the lua and gamemodes folders since they get deleted for subsequent redownload via steam

[runic gale]

I'll try

It's already seperate Gmod Folder

clone of fresh clean gmod

120GB workshop ugh

is there's way to disable workshop without going offline?

only way to skip downloading its copy the cache of workshop to RTX gmod.

[subtle bison]

the workshop stuff is stored in steam's workshop folder instead of the game

so when you reinstall your game, nothing should need to be redownloaded

[runic gale]

but thing is.

It'll already downloaded

but

It's gotta extract the gma files to gmod cache folder

werid

@subtle bison just cleaned and copy lua files and gamemodes from my regular gmod folder

and i'm geting mirror bug

don't think is the mirror, but it's water bugged.

[subtle bison]

very cursed

[runic gale]

yeah

it's the water bugging out

for some reason

how to turn of water relfection?

[subtle bison]

delete the waterfix folder in the addon dir, im not near my pc so idk the full name

[subtle bison]

i don't believe it does anymore, i have multiple gmod installs that are only around 8gb while all of the addons take space in steamapps/workshop

[subtle bison]

pls just do a clean install, this all looks completely broken

[runic gale]

I used Factory Reset bat

let see if default rtx.conf fixes it

[subtle bison]

does that old bat file even work?

[runic gale]

yeah aslong you delete the hl2.exe thing

ran the bat

then put rtxremix stuff back in

then that when i got hit by water bug

hmmmm

oh also seem i can't use my flashlight

soo uh Just copied my normal Gmod CFG folder/files and let not overwrite the existing files and now fixed the water somehow.

[runic gale]

it does.

seem that texture hashes changing bug has gone now.

[runic gale]

Yeah Remix get struggles (fps drops) on my edited Woosh Effect particle thing with Emissive and Alpha.

[subtle bison]

ye path tracing doesnt like alpha textures

nothing can really be done to optimize that other than somehow replacing those sprite cards with a real geometric model

[runic gale]

hmm

when i load on next map the models were fine

not changes

but sprites i modified has changed back to default

@subtle bison you reckon that changing texture hashes probably caused by one or more addons been enabled?

let me check

nvm

[subtle bison]

once again the hashes mean nothing for texture replacements. if your texture replacements are not stable, the addon is presenting the texture to the engine in a way that's not consistent

its not a remix problem but absolutely a addon issue

i cannot emphasize that enough

there could be other reasons as well but from what you have shown so far that's the case

[earnest yew]

https://tenor.com/view/science-gif-27088069

[runic gale]

maybe i was mistaken

probably needs reboot game to fix the issue

yeah working normally now

[runic gale]

Would be cool if emsissive on sparks/bullet impact on metals as starter would be cool.

ah well

[subtle bison]

those already are, just make sure you have particle lights enabled in the runtime

[runic gale]

how?

[subtle bison]

I'm not near my pc to get a screenshot, but it's in the basic remix settings

[runic gale]

rtx menu or in Q menu settings?

[subtle bison]

the runtime menu

the alt+x one

[runic gale]

ah

[compact blaze]

What did you use to make the pbr again?

[hasty sonnet]

why isnt the HDRI editor working

nvm now it is

yeah

it seems like

[lament quartz]

Love it

[hasty sonnet]

i literally thought you were playing brick rigs wtf

until he showed up

[lament quartz]

Good to troll someone

Its a gmod map

[hasty sonnet]

i can tell

[lament quartz]

called rp_lego_city

it fits perfectly

[hasty sonnet]

im mostly just using gmod rtx to play bodycam without spending 30$

yes i know what your saying

why the fuck do i have a expensive PC when i cant even afford to get a game

[lament quartz]

Ima install some horror maps later to test with it

[lament quartz]

LOL

dw

[hasty sonnet]

game budget and PC budget are a different thing

[lament quartz]

I cant afford cs source so I play cs 1.6 with cs source skin pack

[hasty sonnet]

damn

its 10$ wtf

how cant you get 10$

30$ is like

ill buy it later

type ahh game

[lament quartz]

I live in brazil

sooo

[hasty sonnet]

now im just waiting for some guy to explain why are the HDRI's appearing late

[lament quartz]

I pay more than just

10$

[hasty sonnet]

every VPN company on this planet trying to advertise to you:

[subtle bison]

what?

[lament quartz]

I never used vpn to buy games

[hasty sonnet]

well

i have the HDRI parented to my character

when i click on the thing

the HDRI dome doesnt appear

i have it installed properly

i triple checked it by

[subtle bison]

you said it appears late, not that it doesn't work

[hasty sonnet]

yeah its kinda confusing

i click it

doesnt appear

when i checked later

it just appeared

i didnt measure time

all i know is

i clicked

didnt appear

[subtle bison]

is that consistent each map load?

[hasty sonnet]

later it appeared

ive only installed it today

im testing it on flat grass

[subtle bison]

there could be multiple reasons why it's doing that but 99% its other addons interfering or you have some game capture software/overlay injected into the game that breaks render targets

[hasty sonnet]

NVIDIA shadowplay?

[subtle bison]

maybe, i dont use it myself but i haven't had anyone else report issues with it

[hasty sonnet]

its built in with the NVIDIA apps

so its prob not the issue

[subtle bison]

did you change any ingame video settings?

[hasty sonnet]

DLSS and light bounce settings

[subtle bison]

i mean like gmod video settings, not remix

[hasty sonnet]

this and DLSS

i should close wallpaper engine prob

[subtle bison]

adjusting remix settings shouldn't break it unless you're messing with the advanced stuff

[hasty sonnet]

closed it to squeeze more VRAM out of my GPU

[hasty sonnet]

displacement maps?

with displacement maps i know what im doing

[subtle bison]

nah, i meant like messing with denoisers or disabling/enabling enhancements

[hasty sonnet]

i enabled enhancement

keeping it enabled

whaddabout frame generation?

[subtle bison]

nah none of that will break it

[hasty sonnet]

yeah then i dont know

does any of these addons do something?

[subtle bison]

your issue most likely is from the game itself not creating the correct render target to spawn the hdri dome. its best to temporarily disable all addons other than the required ones for remix

just to see if it fixes it

though most of your addons dont look like anything that would break render targets

[hasty sonnet]

i disabled most of em

[hasty sonnet]

still nope

[subtle bison]

not sure then, I've had one or two other people with a similar issue but they resolved theirs after reinstalling everything.

compat mod and the hdri mod

[hasty sonnet]

what compat

[subtle bison]

rtx fixes 2

[hasty sonnet]

so i reinstall the whole thing

anyway is there like a thing that improves the glass in the window and glass props from the basics tab

[subtle bison]

ye, on a new gmod install preferably. you dont have to delete your existing one but just rename it to something else and redownload via steam

[subtle bison]

you'd have to make your own remix mod to replace those materials

[hasty sonnet]

damn

Octotex doesnt work anymore

and i dont know how to use pbrify

[subtle bison]

the toolkit is a good start

[steel lark]

don't please brazil is pretty cheap already

[subtle bison]

if its just a window you can convert it to a transparent material without a texture

it will pretty much look like glass

[steel lark]

did skurty convert his pbr i really miss the css pbr pack

[earnest yew]

x64

32bit had the same issue

except it had a message when it crashed

which was this

i replaced bridge

same thing

so i switched to 64

with the required addons

clean install

no clue

[hasty sonnet]

can you go to that log

what does it say?

i got the 64 versions

the 32 was from weeks ago, forgot to mention
