Garry's Mod

[lyric surge]

the full thing?

[hasty sonnet]

just find keywords

it might have something to say

[lyric surge]

it spammed this a lot near the end

'[15:10:33.801] err: GetShaderModule: Out of range of supported shader model"

"Attempted to normalize a zero-length vector."

[hasty sonnet]

its prob a directX error or your gpu sucks

[lyric surge]

my gpu is old but its worked on remix before

2060

at like low

lol

it worked for like 2 days give or take

i dont know why it would just stop working so i guess directx?

[subtle bison]

sounds like shaderapidx9 crashes, did you rename your game folder to something else after installing the mod?

steam might've updated/verifed game files which will break it

[lyric surge]

before anything was added i just renamed the copied folder to GarrysModRTX

[analog bane]

Sup guys

any ideas how to fix that?

[subtle bison]

looks like a detail texture

need to ignore it inside the remix runtime

[subtle bison]

try copying over the mod files again and replace anything when asked

if its still crashing, its either addon or computer related

[analog bane]

where can i select that?

[subtle bison]

that or maybe a new gmod update broke something but i would need to check later

[subtle bison]

have you used rtx remix before?

[analog bane]

today is my first day

i know how to do it manually tho

looks like it works

[subtle bison]

manually?

[analog bane]

by right clicking ojn flickering texture and hiding it

[subtle bison]

oh ye u pretty much got it

[analog bane]

how can i set a textures material type?

[subtle bison]

you mean like glass, wood, metal, etc?

[analog bane]

yes

i would like to for example have my car look like its made out of actual metal

or weapon models

[subtle bison]

you'll need to install the rtx remix toolkit and follow some of the guides here to do that
#remix-beginners-guide message

[analog bane]

alright

[analog bane]

also, shouldnt my glass look like that by default?

for me its a blue transparent texture

[runic gale]

rtx.conf thing.

[hasty sonnet]

not really

you gotta make a glass texture

i made these 2 for, the vanilla glass and the procedural glass rewrite

[turbid barn]

Upscaled+PBR destructable glass?

looks nice

Are plans to publish that?

[runic gale]

When do we get Updated PBR Default Textures for 64-Bit gmod?

[subtle bison]

someone would have to make it and then publish it

[hasty sonnet]

you want me to?

its really just a simple process either way

you really could make it yourself

in a click

[turbid barn]

Really?

[runic gale]

hmm

[turbid barn]

I found 30 minutes tutorial and after that i thinked that it's not worth wasting so much time just for making textures for Garry's mod

[hasty sonnet]

turn it from opaque to translucent from what he said

[turbid barn]

Wait, in RTX-Remix menu, or App wiyh PBRfusion/PBRify?

[hasty sonnet]

RTX Remix, the nvidia app

yk

[turbid barn]

Oh, yes, I've got it

[runic gale]

yeah in RTX-Remix tool click the hamburger icon next to material name then click convert to translucent

[hasty sonnet]

i swear if you dont know this im going to commit a felony

[turbid barn]

Can you send me tutorial?

[hasty sonnet]

i have a line its called

"I aint doing allat"

[hasty sonnet]

this is self explanatory

@turbid barn just use this bro

[runic gale]

what's really annoying is can use diffuse texture in translucent material option

i meant use Alpha Like Solid area and then transparent. but apply diffuse texture just only make it's whole texture transparent.

[turbid barn]

oh, really?

Thanks

[compact blaze]

Is this happening only with this weird portal addon u installed?

[runic gale]

Nope

There's some kind button to change the render

Yeah Numpad + key

[compact blaze]

No I mean your replaced materials not working unless you disable and enable the path tracer

[turbid barn]

um, where i can find that?

[runic gale]

select materail in rtx-remix tool

asset replace

tab

scroll down to material propeties

[runic gale]

?

[turbid barn]

do i need to open gmod-rtx as existing project first?

[runic gale]

think so

[runic gale]

just use create

[runic gale]

Nah it was fine

[turbid barn]

oo, ig i've got it right

[runic gale]

until i changed map or reload game and it decided not to work. but because of hashes studdenly changed.

[compact blaze]

Ah ok thought you still had the issue of ur asset replacements nor working

[compact blaze]

Maybe the quality of the texture is constantly changing?

[turbid barn]

but what's the project file location?

[subtle bison]

you have to make a project

that can be anywhere as long as it's not in program files

so preferably your user folder

[runic gale]

other's asset i've changed has unaffected

[turbid barn]

But how? if i use create, it asks for project file location

[runic gale]

Make empty folder

Select project file location onto that empty folder

on bottom left put any name on it. and save

then click create

[compact blaze]

Ya I’m thinking maybe the addon is doing weird stuff where it’s assets constantly change quality slightly with like the bipmap and stuff

[turbid barn]

oh, im dumb

i've needed to give that file a name

[runic gale]

hmm. They're from same addon

[compact blaze]

Ya its really weird

[runic gale]

This was like with my replaced asset but, if i want to load one of the Spefic map.

they're look like this.

[turbid barn]

it asks me to create a capture

im gmod capture the scene?

[runic gale]

yeah in gmod on rtx toolkit menu disable enchament and take capture

@compact blaze then i loaded back to same map i was previous at.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

now let me try reboot gmod and load same map

The Addon I'm using. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3037205213

[compact blaze]

Maybe you can try ask the creator of the addon?

[turbid barn]

okay, i've got it

[runic gale]

@compact blaze seems only way to get around it just reboot and load different map.

[compact blaze]

That’s so weird

[runic gale]

The other guy in made RTX patch for Gmod probably saying it's probably just that skinned Object being werid.

[compact blaze]

I hope the remix devs get gpu skinned objects working someday

Or at least update the roadmap so we know if they gave up or not

[compact blaze]

Well at least it’s open source so you can see what it does with textures

[runic gale]

there's nothing wrong with texture besides not changing size

[turbid barn]

is there any way to get more brightness in viewport?

[runic gale]

click stage lights

[turbid barn]

thanks

is there any profit using PBRify/PBRFusion instead of RTX-Remix embdeed AI tools - PBR Material generation?

[runic gale]

Boy, This gotta take ages to get it done lol.

[earnest yew]

looks pretty tho

[runic gale]

ya

[runic gale]

Probably Or Just use software like ShaderMap 4 to generate Normal/Diffuse map. (Like i did use.)

As Displacement Non-Inverted One will be used as Height/Displacement Map. Then Inverted One will be used as Roughness map.

Normal map shall be used the Inverted Displacement Map.

Which how i used to work on my assets as in pics/video.

But in some case you might need create Height/Displacement Map from scratch if dosen't look good for parllax map.

[turbid barn]

but it will not create emissives textures, right?

like, for example, making emmisive separate part of texture/models

[turbid barn]

is there any way to fix that?

that's not visible in-game

but using gmod legs 3, beatrun etc addons adding first-person legs causes weird shadows

and also, why viewport looks better than actual game?

ig it could affect on accuracy changing roughness etc

also, how can i find texture to upscale?

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/commit/e1b727c9b18c7fe16c2774a62dbdc85f0bf48d72

[turbid barn]

here it require .dds, .psd or rasterazet photo format

but the only texture i can find is .usd or .usda

[subtle bison]

you can find the dds textures in your capture folder

[turbid barn]

oooh

i found

[subtle bison]

you will have to know what texture is assigned to each hash though

[turbid barn]

/textures

[turbid barn]

Manually founding that texture?

[subtle bison]

if you click on an asset in the viewport of the toolkit, it shows you the texture hash/name on the left panel

[turbid barn]

yes, i know the hash

but then how can i found how it called in textures folder?

CA924CC6F7953C93 that's, for example, grass hash
but file is 2C3D7E47BB1ED0D3.dds

[subtle bison]

its the same hash/name, just search it here

ah i see

you're probably looking at the prim hash

i dont have my pc nearby, but you need to look at the albedo texture name in the toolkit

it points to the actual texture file as well

[turbid barn]

okay, nvm, i found

nvm i've just needed to scroll 😂

[compact blaze]

@lapis delta how big u think these 2 updates are

[earnest yew]

wait so

its actually released

i thought it was just a roadmap

[onyx ridge]

new remix patches update when

soon

🥺

please

[earnest yew]

wdym

[subtle bison]

we use a custom build of remix for gmod x64

for the mouse issues

and other stuff coming in 0.6.0

ill have to rebuild it with the new stuff later today

[earnest yew]

the mouse shit works

in the new version

or its something else fixing it

[turbid barn]

what do i should select to upscale

everything manually?

[subtle bison]

you tested it in gmod x64 already?

[earnest yew]

yeah im testing it rn lol

[turbid barn]

what is other and should i use that?

[subtle bison]

what about opening the remix menu, do it properly capture the mouse?

[lapis delta]

[subtle bison]

i had to add a custom api function to fix it beforehand

[lapis delta]

HELL NAH BRUH

[earnest yew]

yes

[subtle bison]

no way

[earnest yew]

dont take my word for it but its working atm

[steel lark]

you don't need to upscale a glass texture because translucents don't have textures

[subtle bison]

there is a lua addon that makes the game stop capturing the mouse so you might wanna delete the tmc files in the remixbinary folder to test

[turbid barn]

im not upscaling glass

[earnest yew]

somethings breaking rn

[steel lark]

oh thought you were doing that still

[turbid barn]

i've added transparency on them already

[steel lark]

that's the ingestion screen i don't think you can upscale there

[turbid barn]

but i also captures the whole gm_construct

as i understand, it's only for normal map etc

so i should upscale manually w/other app like Topaz, and then add normal/depth maps?

[subtle bison]

nah its broken with the latest runtime

both the mouse flickering and capturing input

transformers also finally fucking works halleluiah

[earnest yew]

weird

[subtle bison]

i see the new issues

[earnest yew]

the geometry flickering?

[subtle bison]

yea

[earnest yew]

did you build the new remix

or use the downloader

[subtle bison]

neither, i downloaded the artifact from github

[earnest yew]

how

[subtle bison]

aaand my game crashed shortly after

nvm

its just really buggy lol

[compact blaze]

You need a GitHub account to download artifacts

I think it’s in the actions

[earnest yew]

[subtle bison]

btw this flickering isnt caused by the custom world renderer or force view frustrum

its an actual rendering issue with remix

[earnest yew]

im just in the commit

[earnest yew]

did you replace the configs at all?

[subtle bison]

no

[earnest yew]

[subtle bison]

i guess ill try a fresh conf

[earnest yew]

also how the fuck do i download a artifact

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/actions/runs/13681602742

[earnest yew]

epic sauce

thanks

im just cheking to see if i have the right version

[subtle bison]

good god this runtime is laggy as shit

my game randomly freezes for a long ass time

[distant crystal]

Lol

[earnest yew]

[drifting hinge]

gmod rtx my beloved

[subtle bison]

yea fresh config fixes the flickering world issue

ill just have to migrate the hashes over

btw mouse flickering issue is fixed actually

but the input capture is still broken so we will need my custom build

ill refactor it to the newest changes soon

[earnest yew]

whenever i use remix w gmod i feel like my mouse is too fast

is that what it is

[subtle bison]

no

remix doesnt control that at all

input capture as in the runtime menu wont prevent the game from using the keyboard and mouse

hold on

ok the freezing is the new runtime crashing my gpu driver

lovely

[earnest yew]

[subtle bison]

this is the issue

notice that i can still move and look around with the menu open

this is because the runtime depends on the bridge to lock input, which we dont have

[earnest yew]

https://tenor.com/view/bitchesbeshoppin-hannibal-hannibalburress-woodrchungus-woodrchungusgaming-gif-19223369

[subtle bison]

anyone else having driver crashes other than me?

[earnest yew]

no sir

also my mouse works fine

🤓

[subtle bison]

looks like the new runtime improved light detection?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1028444668918235197/1346933875607212123/2025-03-05_13-53-36.mp4?ex=67c9fd6c&is=67c8abec&hm=eb5b4f383c79f168d9ad11ba3f555769423500b8963bcc20cf88111886ed0358&

muzzle lights never showed up before

[earnest yew]

too bad it looks like shit

[subtle bison]

which part

[earnest yew]

the muzzle lights

[subtle bison]

wonder if its possible to turn them off

[earnest yew]

or make it so it dosent last that long

[subtle bison]

i might've not had supress lighting enabled for that rtx.conf

yea its placebo

[earnest yew]

i feel like i see zero difference in the dlss4

[subtle bison]

it exists in the older remix builds

[earnest yew]

maybe i have incorrect settings

but it runs like shiz

[subtle bison]

transformers does run slower

but visual difference is pretty large lol

[earnest yew]

i see zero difference

lol!

[subtle bison]

a little teaser 🙂

[earnest yew]

oh boy

you spoil us

[subtle bison]

so glad to finally get this working holy

it sets all detail textures in a map to a single random dev one that can be ingored in the runtime

[compact blaze]

This isn’t on latest remix right? Can see the dlss model is still cnn I think

[subtle bison]

yeah its not, this is my dev version of the game

i got the new runtime working by disabling NRC though

but i still need to compile a new version with our specific API changes

glad that i chose a bright texture, you can easily see what uses a detail texture now

seems to work on every map i have tried so far

[subtle bison]

has anyone noticed a performance improvement with the latest driver?

idk if its placebo but im getting a lot more FPS in gpu-bound scenarios

[livid rapids]

afaik latest driver gave a performance boost across the board for dlss

[subtle bison]

yeah im getting like 70fps in heavy maps with CNN DLSS

its crazy

[livid rapids]

specially useful for transformer where it went past old cnn fps'

[subtle bison]

getting 130fps on flatgrass like wtf

[livid rapids]

but normal dlss did get a boost as well

[runic gale]

Nope

@turbid barn unless if you look the texture if it has alpha channel then it's more likely it's a Emssive Mask as Alpha channel all you need to do make a copy of that texture then rename as _emissv, then in photoshop or whatever copy the alpha channel and make a new layer and paste the alpha channel then i would just put overlay to Mulitply

[livid rapids]

I'm guessing this overrides any $detail parameter it detects?

[subtle bison]

yea

[livid rapids]

Can you do the same with $color2 pretty please

Replacing every instance manually will be the end of me even when macro'd

[subtle bison]

sure, if it works for mwbbase and arc9

ik it works for stuff like the physgun as far as i know

[livid rapids]

it'll work for any fakepbr material

afaik blendtintbybasealpha doesn't even do anything on remix

so no point in touching that

just color2

[subtle bison]

which weapons specifically rely on color2?

i forgor

[livid rapids]

every single one

[subtle bison]

every arc9 weapon?

i swear there were some that looked fine

[livid rapids]

🙂

[subtle bison]

but i dont remember any names atm

[livid rapids]

some arc9 do

almost every mwb weapon does

depends on what game is it ported from

and if any material has metallic properties

basically they use tint alpha and color2 in a way that tints the metallic parts of the texture

by baking the metallic or specular map to the base texture's alpha

color2 [0 0 0] is basically the material doesn't have metallic properties or it doesn't need tinting

[modern quest]

it's probably latest Remix and not the driver

i got like a 25% perf bump with the new build

[subtle bison]

this is with the older runtime

[modern quest]

that's odd then

i'm still convinced your Windows install is just extremely broken lol

[subtle bison]

maybe, but then again the one major issue was just setting transformers globally for the one game that had issues lol

and then the new runtime came out and transformers now magically works so uh yea 🙂

[runic gale]

How do i change the HDRI Skybox Sun color?

I would perfer the first skybox but i do not like Blue Sun

[subtle bison]

the answer is a bit complicated

[runic gale]

Grrr

[subtle bison]

the HDRI is an image and there is no way to directly modify it inside remix. the other issue is modifying the actual HDRI .dds without losing the high precision data that allows the world to be lit correctly

you might be able to do it in photoshop with the nvidia texture tools addon. though i havent tried it myself

i still havent gotten around to doing it, but i want to publish a guide to show users how to import their own correctly

[modern quest]

well yeah, it's being forced in the code now

that's not really helping the case 😛

[runic gale]

what's new in Runtime?

[subtle bison]

, still dont wanna reinstall windows to fix the one problem.

[modern quest]

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/commit/e1b727c9b18c7fe16c2774a62dbdc85f0bf48d72

[runic gale]

And the remix software update?

[modern quest]

you reported before that the new driver (at the time) boosted your performance too though. it's kind of concerning that it improves it, then it gets worse again, then improved again on each reinstall

[subtle bison]

did i say perf got worse? i dont vaguely remember saying that

i was messing with drivers to fix the driver overrides at that time

[modern quest]

i thought you did

if not, then my bad

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison look at this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3438992111

[subtle bison]

this will prob work if its anything like the procedural glass addon

am i doing something wrong lol

ok it depends on the mesh

works fine

[compact blaze]

turn up the sub devisions on the cube

[subtle bison]

finally added some debug visualizations to render bounds to try to optimize them more

what the fuck is attached to the player

[lament quartz]

Pen-

[modern quest]

you're in Tron

lol

[livid rapids]

reflection psr is broken

aaand alt tab just crashed

latest dxvk

[subtle bison]

yea try disabling NRC

also RR transforms has known issues with reflections

best to stick to CNN

[lament quartz]

What's the original look like tho

[modern quest]

i'd be surprised if NRC was doing that

has it been problematic for you?

[subtle bison]

yea its whats crashing my driver on the new runtime

[modern quest]

i wonder if it's a problem with 20 series cards

like the drivers

[subtle bison]

i wouldnt be surprised, i made a github issue tho

[willow fog]

CR

New runtime where

[subtle bison]

i would download the normal one, the flickering mouse issue seems to be fixed so there isnt really any gain to be using mine until 0.6.0 comes out

[willow fog]

Didn't you make some changes to it?

[subtle bison]

yea i added a custom API function to fix input issues when opening the menu, but thats not in a release atm

[willow fog]

Ah

[livid rapids]

yeah whatever man

[runic gale]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2958334539

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2958773873

[subtle bison]

it looks like the engine doesnt cull any props/meshes created with render.Model()?

this is some shitty code but this is with view frustrum disabled, they dont dissapear at all when out of view

(im holding the HDRI cube so the light doesnt go away lol)

if this ends up working on a larger scale, it will replace force view frustrum for models

would seriously help performance too

[earnest yew]

i wanna see how a actual csgo build would look with remix so badly

[subtle bison]

you know who to ask 🙂

[earnest yew]

idk if this is ignorant as fuck

but i feel like it should be relativley easy to transfer the code to different games if they're on the same branch

dino d day

[subtle bison]

i still havent messed with trying other portal 2 engine stuff yet so im not too sure on how difficult it is

i couldnt get INFRA working though

even after matching offsets

[livid rapids]

csgo 2017 remix

[earnest yew]

cs2

but better

LMAO

[livid rapids]

if ykyk

[subtle bison]

😏

2011 pax build would also be cool

[earnest yew]

2011 pax is just lfd

[livid rapids]

but seriously I hope valve open sources csgo branch so that people don't have to reverse engineer or use the leaked 2017 code

Even if classic offensive has already gone the reverse engineer route, that could mean a Steam release

[earnest yew]

that shit it NOT happening!

poor poor classic offensive

[livid rapids]

tf2 sdk happened and people did not see that coming

3 years of silence was worth it

[earnest yew]

ig

but

MONEY!!!

[livid rapids]

it just takes a little push

what money?

[earnest yew]

MONEY!

MONEYYY!!

[livid rapids]

all of the popular tf2 mods don't need and will not use inventory access

fake

[earnest yew]

stop posting fake screenshots

[subtle bison]

guh whats fake

[earnest yew]

its obviously rendered in blender

[earnest yew]

cant fool a idiot!

ive given up trying to fix the 64 bit patches

me brain hurty

[subtle bison]

ye if we had x64 culling patches my mental health would skyrocket

[earnest yew]

i thought you had someone working on them

a gmod dev or some shish

[subtle bison]

xenthio got pretty far but it didnt fix all of the issues

someone at facepunch changed how r_cullbox works so other source engine culling patches do not apply to gmod x64

[earnest yew]

also

fuck facepunch

[subtle bison]

yes

[earnest yew]

rust is NOT 40 DOLLARS

[runic gale]

@subtle bison can make a code that allows to automatically dectects decals?

[earnest yew]

YOU HAVE A GOOD ANTI CHEAT

its either for money or for anti hacker money

like bruuuuh

[subtle bison]

i was thinking about a way to do that, but all solutions involve implementing some kind of complex system

so maybe, but most likely never unless someone else wants to take a jab at it

[runic gale]

how about also detects the terrian blending thing

[subtle bison]

you dont need to mess with that, just set the two conflicting textures to a decal in the runtime and it will fix the issue

they blend perfectly

[willow fog]

Mid

[earnest yew]

bro this new router bouta make me tweak

i need this fucking 6e card NOW!!!

[livid rapids]

fun fact new dxvk has an option called terrain as decals

Works exactly as you expect

set textures as terrain instead of decal, enable that and it looks and works the same

[steel lark]

it's the scary red nightly demon

[earnest yew]

decal my love

the most useful tag

[steel lark]

1. Decal
2. Ignore texture
3. Playermodel Texture
4. Water Texture?
5. OTHERS

and in last

add light

because it sucks

[earnest yew]

ive used playermodel texture a solid 1 time

[subtle bison]

so what is the point tho

if its treated the same

[willow fog]

My question too

[livid rapids]

idk man maybe setting non decal textures as decals is a bad idea

[subtle bison]

i have seen zero issues with doing it

[livid rapids]

doesn't mean there could'nt be

[subtle bison]

guess we'll find out eventually

[willow fog]

installed new remix in gmod

lets see

[subtle bison]

ur gonna see a lot of visual issues unless you use a new rtx.conf

it has like no textures tagged but i fixed some issues in this one

[willow fog]

NO

NOOOOO

hashes changed?\

[subtle bison]

hashes are the same lol, you could just manually move them over

[willow fog]

Are you sure?

[subtle bison]

the mouse?

just alt-tab in and out

[willow fog]

No like

it's working

I don't see any bugs

Same conf

[subtle bison]

weird, my rendering was totally fucked with the one i had

it came from the 0.5.3.1 release or whatever the latest is rn

[willow fog]

OKay hold on

I might not have updated remix

I don't see the new deatures

Okay, hold on

this is weird

[livid rapids]

we got a clean vram button

[willow fog]

I swear I did update it

[willow fog]

where is that?

[willow fog]

and where is that?

[livid rapids]

below debug, geometry

above displacement

[willow fog]

Okay, I clearly didn't update it then lmao

[subtle bison]

omg does this actually work

i can make a api hook that does this on map load and exit

wait is this texture streaming only for enhanced assets?

[willow fog]

oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh

Fuck

I'm stupd

brb

[livid rapids]

don't think so

hitting it a couple of times gets me back to 41 then climb to 44

and stays there

[subtle bison]

i want to at some point find a way to flush all of the preloaded texture shit that gmod and its addons do that eat vram

[subtle bison]

ty kim

[livid rapids]

amazing pin

okay this demote texture thing MIGHT not be what I expected

[modern quest]

looks like it is

[subtle bison]

there is this
https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/commit/11831e014c0352b6a9eeac2fe9d46dda6622e5c2#diff-b1d596f138451651bab8386483788e4c94c6ce72c686b0ba5f0da5ec455dbbe8R1658

:requestVramCompaction()

also kim's

[modern quest]

also CR's

[subtle bison]

i could hook both of these up to the API 🙂

[modern quest]

nice

[subtle bison]

and then add a lua hook for map changes

[livid rapids]

okay I've loaded a couple of weapons let's see how fast it climbs back

[subtle bison]

it might not if arc9 doesnt let go of the texture

or whatever weapon addon it is

[livid rapids]

what's a arc nine

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-brain-meme-big-brain-big-brain-meme-big-brain-time-gif-2441110471562975014

i think i have broken through a wall

not related to this but uhh more performance for free?

we currently modify render bounds for all objects to keep them from culling. What if we only modify the render bounds inside the PVS only?

i can grab the data with niknaks and then do all of the calculations inside the binary module

[livid rapids]

everyone say thank you NikNaks

[subtle bison]

yes

its 99% responsible for everything that makes this compat mod work

inb4 rubat pushes a gmod update that breaks it

[livid rapids]

oh about that

offtopic

a few hours ago he confirmed we can load custom screenspace .vcs shaders via workshop

[subtle bison]

yea i saw

i wonder if those vcs shaders can do fixed function stuff

could fix the eyes

[livid rapids]

so peak man we can get like custom toon shading exactly ported from glsl or hlsl

[livid rapids]

it's a pixel shader...

[willow fog]

Akright

Properly updated remix now

[subtle bison]

right oops 🙂

[modern quest]

if it works i'll unpin you

[willow fog]

Hell yeah

@modern quest

[modern quest]

New Texture streaming solution - optimizes VRAM usage to maximize texture quality with available budget.

[willow fog]

CNN vs Tansformer

[subtle bison]

gm_cosmodrome moment

(an optimization nightmare)

PVS cant save this garbage

[willow fog]

cr

your new conf

has like no marked textures

no decals

[subtle bison]

yes i said that

i said to use it as a base

[willow fog]

hm

I shall

Got the old conf markings ported over

https://fixupx.com/weirddalle/status/1897233124364271899

[modern quest]

and the other transformer model is even better (in my experience at least)

[willow fog]

Diamond wallaby?

[modern quest]

ya

i actually dunno how to force this now, remix seems to override it

[willow fog]

Remix always overriding stuff

[willow fog]

REstir vs NRC

REstir - NRC

[subtle bison]

wow definitely a lot more sky light being let in

[willow fog]

It softens everything overall

Let's try the TV

[subtle bison]

tf2 maps my beloved, good use of PVS

lots of entities but high fps

[willow fog]

ngl

nrc seems kinda doodoo

[subtle bison]

ye it doesnt really look as pleasing as ReSTIR

[modern quest]

i mean, your project has been tuned around restir this entire time

you'd have to tune things to work well for NRC

NRC ghosts a lot less with emissives

[subtle bison]

true, ill look into it whenever the NRC driver crashes get fixed

[modern quest]

hopefully soon

[willow fog]

I dunoooooo

[subtle bison]

what in gods name am i watching

[willow fog]

Anime hoes

Watch the walls

not the video

[modern quest]

i don't really see a problem with that at all tbh

it's a bit less bright, that's it?

[willow fog]

It's kinda mushy in a way

[modern quest]

you can tweak the settings for it if you want

[willow fog]

Also artifacts

[modern quest]

that's probably transformer RR

it's real buggy

[willow fog]

It's also not good with skyboxes

[modern quest]

try adjusting the sky brightness. NRC is significantly more accurate, so the settings you guys have for restir won't look right

[willow fog]

You say it's accurate, but is it?

[modern quest]

i mean... yeah. in my experience across all of the different games i tested today, it's a lot more accurate and precise

i think i tested 8 games now. and the way it looks lines up with the original paper

[modern quest]

sky light leaking in looks more accurate to me. guessing that's NRC?

[willow fog]

yep

[modern quest]

i think with some tweaks to the eye adaptation and some adjustments to the skybox brightness it'll look pretty good

it can def be a bit underwhelming (or in my project overwhelming) compared to restir

you can change all of these settings for it

btw changing quality to medium runs a lot better than ReSTIR and looks a bit cleaner than it at the same time

[willow fog]

Gave it more than enough time to train

Emissive intensity set to 5

[subtle bison]

at least with ReSTIR, increasing the HDRI emissive brightness over 1 breaks direct sun illumination

afair at least

[modern quest]

i ran into that on my project

i forgot to fix it. bleh

seems to be the same with NRC

[willow fog]

One ss is restir and the other is nrc

[modern quest]

i'd say emissive strength is just too high here. and because NRC can work better with less, it doesn't really need to be that high

[willow fog]

Oh god

Oh fuck

Transformer model issue

crash

[modern quest]

yeah 😦

i've had all kinds of issues with it

i've started using CNN for now. Mark said he started a discussion internally to allow us to change the preset

[willow fog]

Remix doesn't wanna load enhancements

[modern quest]

texture streaming was doing that for me

[willow fog]

ah

ot bad in this game

[subtle bison]

PVS is paying off finally

184fps in voidplaces holy shit

im gonna kiss the niknaks guy

[runic gale]

hmm

[modern quest]

which is which? i prefer the right one here

[willow fog]

restir comes first in all my screenshots

[modern quest]

the red light is actually reflecting on the fence which is neat

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison when you said something about ingame settings whats wrong here

for HDRI'

[subtle bison]

nah just dont change them, they're managed by the autoexec.cfg file

[compact blaze]

Nah I’ve had that issue with the cnn model before

It’s not a transformer thing

[willow fog]

It is. I switched to cnn and it worked

[compact blaze]

Weird, encountered that same exact issue weeks ago with hdri

[willow fog]

So I have a few ideas to make NRC respond faster for the tv

[jade edge]

yay, more r34 material is coming soon

[willow fog]

Slow update speed first and then the fast update speed

A noticable increase

[compact blaze]

What’re ur ideas?

[willow fog]

Holy shit

Significantly faster lighting update

[lament quartz]

i regret watching that

[lapis delta]

https://tenor.com/view/frog-jumpscare-jump-jumpscare-frog-toad-jumpscare-gif-17126897754304945804

[willow fog]

NRC lighting seems significantly less bright

[modern quest]

i messed with eye adaptation settings to fix it

[willow fog]

yeah but

It should match restir at least

restir vs nrc

[modern quest]

well, the eye adaptation settings were originally made for restir too 😛

the NRC look there is a lot more correct to me, despite it being less bright. the lack of brightness is kind of annoying though

could open an issue about it?

[willow fog]

Sure thing. It's not physically accurate

Thus, an issue

It's especially noticeable with CR's skys

These screenshots could make for a very compelling argument in the issue

[steel lark]

does the downloader work for the new version of rtx remix?

[modern quest]

yes

[steel lark]

it does need to be the beta one tho right?

[modern quest]

development

[steel lark]

the release one isn't even working anymore i think

[modern quest]

it is 🙂

[steel lark]

the rtx remix downloader?

[modern quest]

mhm

[steel lark]

weird maybe the one i had was an older version?

it just didn't download anything

i installed the development one and it worked now

[modern quest]

re-download the downloader, as funny as that sounds

i do update it whenever there are issues

last update was dec 15th

[steel lark]

alr

wait where does the download go again?

[modern quest]

anywhere you want

it'll just make a new remix folder wherever it is with the downloaded files

avoid program files though

[steel lark]

i'm running it inside downloads/rtx and it's not working it seems

[modern quest]

does it throw an error?

[steel lark]

it closes before saying anything

it goes from fetching to closing

the folder is empty

[modern quest]

mm

same issue happy had

unfortunately i have no idea what's causing it

[steel lark]

that's on the development

[modern quest]

yeah

it just happened for me too

[steel lark]

does the release download the latest one too?

[modern quest]

the latest release

0.6.0

[modern quest]

it hates the Downloads folder for some reason. put it in desktop or something else like that

[steel lark]

ok

the downloader that hates the downloads folder and needs to be redownloaded lmao

same issue on desktop

[modern quest]

ah geat

i see the issue

elisha updated dxwrapper's file names again and this broke the downloader

actually no, the website for it is just down entirely

🤕

[steel lark]

lol

[loud mural]

https://www.servethehome.com/bolt-graphics-zeus-the-new-gpu-architecture-with-up-to-2-25tb-of-memory-and-800gbe/

BIG IF TRUE

[smoky otter]

no way thats real

[willow fog]

It's fucking fake

[subtle bison]

speed 🏎️

yall know any other heavy maps i can test?

[compact blaze]

Try search for “yuppie” in the gmod workshop section

It should look pretty similar to how tsp looks and is like very office oriented

Tried the map before and it ran pretty poorly

[subtle bison]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2727991160&searchtext=yuppie

?

[compact blaze]

Ya this one

[subtle bison]

runs pretty good

runs better in the smaller areas

[lament quartz]

What abt gm_fork

[subtle bison]

oh no

i forgot about that map

lets see

[half viper]

interested

[subtle bison]

this is the best this map has ever ran

[lament quartz]

Lol

[subtle bison]

PVS optimizations are peak 😍

[drifting hinge]

5 frames every hour

[subtle bison]

hopefully i can release 0.6.0 sometime next week

im almost done

[earnest yew]

give us beta builds

[subtle bison]

have you considered that every gmrtx64 release is technically a beta?

[earnest yew]

how about

alpha

early super duper alpha

early

build

omega early

[subtle bison]

before time early

[modern sparrow]

you know if yah still looking at maps id honestly suggest "Nester - The Procedural Map" if you havent taken a look at it already that is

[subtle bison]

the 1st map to piss off niknaks lmao

im guessing its because of the map being procedurally generated

map is very dark since there is no lighting

but other than that it works fine

[modern sparrow]

even as you progress through it having it generate more rooms?

[livid rapids]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1957556944

please

this map always ran like dogshit

[subtle bison]

yea that still works but looking at the steam workshop screenshots, it never had lighting to begin with

probably because VRAD cant be ran on dynamically generated rooms

[subtle bison]

rp map

[livid rapids]

it's not that big but maybe culling behind fog saves it normally

[subtle bison]

surprisingly it runs ok

[modern sparrow]

yeah i doesnt have lighting naturally could the lack of light be fixed though in RTX remix? i mean one could just spawn lights as well i guess

[subtle bison]

you could assign lights to map textures, weapons, or use the flash light

[livid rapids]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1289646999

[subtle bison]

in addition to that, it uses the PVS a lot for optimization so it runs great so far

[livid rapids]

so

how about The Big One

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2595136841&searchtext=

[subtle bison]

oops meant to reply

this is gm_rhine

[livid rapids]

oh that's p good

[subtle bison]

[livid rapids]

Or it's Brother

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2925489145&searchtext=nycity

[subtle bison]

ashville seems to have a rasterization issue

remix wont hook

but other than that it runs good

[livid rapids]

interesting

[subtle bison]

iirc i tried this map before the PVS stuff and it ran good already

[half viper]

forgot what it was called

[livid rapids]

yeah nycity on normal gmod is very nicely optimized

[half viper]

uhhh

starts with an N

[subtle bison]

yea praise to any map devs who take good use of optimization

lol runs a lot faster with the PVS optimizations

if you got a strong CPU, you'll be entirely GPU bottlenecked in this map

[livid rapids]

that's perf right?

damn

[modern sparrow]

"Nester - The Procedural Map"

[subtle bison]

yea the 1st screenshot is with remix disabled so you can see what the engine bottlenecks look like

[livid rapids]

also what's that debug hud

[subtle bison]

the top left one?

[livid rapids]

No I mean dlss setting

[livid rapids]

Yeah

[subtle bison]

hu im confused now

[livid rapids]

yeah reply didn't went through

[half viper]

funny how i can only remember the first letter of everything

[livid rapids]

What's your dlss at and what's the hud on the top left

[subtle bison]

the top left hud is my PVS debug hud that's part of view frustrum so I can see perf stats
the bottom left one is the dlss debug hud that can be enabled with DLSStweaks, i was messing with transformers RR before the new runtime came out

[subtle bison]

oh my DLSS, ultra perf

my 2080 is a potato 🙂

[modern sparrow]

i only rarely used the nester map mostly to check it out but i thought it might of been a good map to suggest here

[subtle bison]

there are some stutters with the PVS system on large maps because of how many calculations it has to do for render bounds and stuff, but hopefully i can smooth them out at a later date, its not very common

i think its ok for now since it allows large maps to be playable lol

[modern sparrow]

ok so im back from digging through some maps that id suggest taking a look at a larger scale one being Enferdupacifique V4 and a smaller one is [GM] Inferno - Red Zone i was going to ask if gweather worked but i searched and it seems like yall already tryed that aurora borealis picture definitely pretty.

besides aftermath the last thats all maps i could think of that might be worth a try rtx remix shouldnt have troubles from what i seen on most other maps

[steel lark]

try never lose hope hospital

that's the biggest map i've ever played (in terms of detail)

it's runs like shit on regular gmod if you have like 30 mods

it's super heavy but i think it's mostly cpu

[subtle bison]

i'd say a good portion of gmod rtx is cpu/engine limited so hopefully it runs better with my optimizations

good start so far

[steel lark]

is lithium doing much? because if so i might install it on my normal gmod

[steel lark]

🔥

[subtle bison]

ye it helps a lot for CPU limited stuff, but you can probably enable all of the options on normal gmod where we cant with remix

[steel lark]

nice

[subtle bison]

ok this map is stupidly well optimized, uses the PVS extensively

lower this is, the better

[steel lark]

that's so fire

[subtle bison]

for gweather, it can probably fully work with remix if most of the materials were replaced with ones that properly blend with other alpha materials

such as the clouds, they're pretty buggy

[livid rapids]

I love you dev_monitor

[subtle bison]

im assuming you have enhancements disabled?

[subtle bison]

hu, you might be missing the water replacement

[livid rapids]

Don't think so

Let me check on construct

[subtle bison]

did the hashes change?

its still working for me anywhere where dev_monitor is present

[livid rapids]

what the hell my water folder's just gone

also fuck you alt tab crash

[subtle bison]

inferno - red zone is not very well optimized 😦 , its a much smaller map but like the majority of the map is in PVS

Enferdupacifique V4 runs good tho

[modern sparrow]

30 fps seems yikes well inless im reading that wrong kinda figured it wouldnt play well with rtx remix tho surprised Enferdupacifique V4 runs good

[subtle bison]

yea its not remix, the map itself is just unoptimized

[lament quartz]

30 fps is THE best that map has ever run 🥹

[subtle bison]

i can probably lower the culling distance to make it run better

lol

yea big difference

[modern sparrow]

are you on uhhh ultra pref or whatever its called again just curious

[subtle bison]

yea but im not GPU bottlenecked here

as i said before, most of this is CPU/engine bottlenecks

[modern sparrow]

honestly think ima try and install rtx remix for gmod now im dying to see what NZR does inless it just utterly commits unalive as soon as i try to use the gamemode

[subtle bison]

you would have to find a way to load the compat mod's binary module and the lua files in that game mode

right now we only support sandbox

[modern sparrow]

welp i guess thats off the table then lol i got no uhhh code skills to do such a thing

NZR atleast isnt on github anymore got moved to workshop sometime back

[subtle bison]

yea and im not too familar with lua injection for the game in general, if we had that it would work on everything, including MP

[hasty sonnet]

instead why dont we add some sorta light prop that has a emissive texture and can light up the whole room

the stupidest solution ive cooked up

[subtle bison]

ye i've done that before

[hasty sonnet]

did it work?

[subtle bison]

yeah, i just chose a random build prop that isnt used much by anything

made the whole thing emissive in the toolkit

[hasty sonnet]

anyway is it me or are hollow glass spheres cool

[subtle bison]

ye you can even make them catch light like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIHvkq5DAnU

cant belieive this was almost a year ago

timestamp is 0:41

[hasty sonnet]

i should get advanced light entities or softlamps

i actually used softlamps for what it was actually intended for

rendering art in gmod

[subtle bison]

softlamps is kinda useless since it just emulates what PT already does

and idk if advanced light entities still works

[hasty sonnet]

we literally have it real time now

instead

[subtle bison]

i was using it in that vid but i think something broke them

[hasty sonnet]

tbh i need the hdri's working

i want gm construct at night

[hasty sonnet]

it dont work

[subtle bison]

nvm they work even better than they almost did a year ago

[subtle bison]

are you spawning the expensive ones or the normal ones, expensive uses env_projectedmap or whatever its called, which doesnt work in FF

use these

[hasty sonnet]

normal one

[hasty sonnet]

ye those

it doesnt work

[subtle bison]

weird

spawn a prop near one

the engine doesnt render them unless they're casting light on somthing dynamic

[hasty sonnet]

still nope

[subtle bison]

ye they're buggy in maps without props like gm_construct

i just tested it

i might be able to fix these though

[hasty sonnet]

the real question is about the HDRI

why arent those working

[subtle bison]

im gonna send a video, follow what im doing in that video and then record one yourself doing the same thing

[hasty sonnet]

how much boosts does this server have again?

more than enough

[subtle bison]

the skydome should be changing colors when you click the presets in the debug view

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison what’s left for 0.6 to be developed before its release?

Like tweaking the post processing effects to work well with nrc

[subtle bison]

i cant do anything with NRC as i get driver crashes with it enabled

also since they're constantly pushing new dxvk-remix changes, it would be difficult for me to keep up with our custom version

so i probably wont include the new runtime in 0.6.0, but make it a seperate package

[subtle bison]

the cube isnt changing colors so that means its probably not finding the textures

[hasty sonnet]

weird the textures are in the folders

[subtle bison]

these?

[hasty sonnet]

these

[subtle bison]

the ones in my screenshot need to be present

[hasty sonnet]

that one is there also

[subtle bison]

when you go through each texture, do they look different from one another?

[hasty sonnet]

slightly different

[subtle bison]

each one should have different colors

[hasty sonnet]

yeah different colors

[subtle bison]

ok then definitely weird

guess the render target isnt working

[hasty sonnet]

what do i do then?

[subtle bison]

this is gonna be a bit weird and i do not recommend doing this, but switch your resolution ingame to something else

then try selecting the HDRI presets again

[hasty sonnet]

thats literally what i use

ill downscale it to a lower one a bit

[subtle bison]

in normal cases, do not ever touch ingame video settings

[hasty sonnet]

my eyes will murder me cuz of the resolution

[hasty sonnet]

didnt work

[subtle bison]

hmm

so let me get this straight, you dont use the resolution settings in the launcher?

i guess the better question is, do you ever change those settings when opening the game

[hasty sonnet]

not at all

i use the ones in the launcher
