Garry's Mod

[subtle bison]

i got lossless scaling working before but i dont see the point when it looks like 240p with ultra perf

i do not want to use FG with a base FPS of 30 or below

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison Sunday-Monday release date then?

[subtle bison]

what makes you say that lol

its only friday morning

[compact blaze]

Damn only morning? Forgot time zones existed

[subtle bison]

ye its 09:14 CST where im at

[steel lark]

gwater1 seems to work tho

[steel lark]

for me it's noon

[subtle bison]

so i guess im sort of wrong about some HDR-only maps?
gm_cyan_dreampools doesnt crash but all map lights dont work since the engine forces mat_fullbright 1
but interestingly, gmod lights still work

i might be able to get lighting working on HDR maps with some trickery

mmmmmmmm

Call me mr hands because we got hands up in this bitch

[compact blaze]

How did u setup ur sss for the hands?

[compact blaze]

Why do the hands look so sickly then 💔

I mean it’s better than before

[willow fog]

Bad textures

[subtle bison]

is there any documentation on creating SSS textures?

i might have a go at making some later

[willow fog]

Uh

There ain't any documentation

But it's pretty easy

I can help you

[subtle bison]

sure, if you've already explained it before here you can also send me the message link

[willow fog]

It's basically a 100 message long conversation with me, tadpole, and david

If you want to read through that

[subtle bison]

works for me lol

[willow fog]

#general-remix message

Start reading down from here ig

[subtle bison]

ok im prob gonna ship the custom displacment renderer even if its kinda buggy, there are some maps that need it, but it will be disabled by default

pretty much all CSS maps lol

i love mc maps in gmod lol

[willow fog]

This one's a bust. Couldn't find all the textures.

[earnest yew]

minecraft dx9 when

[subtle bison]

someone should really do that lol

especially for the alpha versions since they use GL 1.1

[earnest yew]

ive tried

[earnest yew]

whats the max supported opengl version

for wrappers in general

[subtle bison]

idk

why not make a mod that integrates DX9 FVF directly?

[earnest yew]

thats

alot

[subtle bison]

i dont see why that shouldnt be possible

[earnest yew]

nobody has even attempted it from my knowledge

[earnest yew]

java edition relies on lwjgl (lightweight java game library), which is built for opengl

and its pretty fucky

[subtle bison]

does GL not have any fixed function pipelines?

im pretty sure it does

[livid rapids]

Chop chop time to dump

I would love to dump them myself but no way I'm downloading 100 gigs of mw2019 AGAIN

[steel lark]

is there m9k full remix or nah?

[subtle bison]

i dont think anyone has touched m9k stuff

[compact blaze]

how tf do u get gameimageutil working i setup like an entire vm clean install of windows 10 and it still won't work 😭

[willow fog]

I'd love to dump but no way I'm paying 70 for a 6 years old game

[subtle bison]

cod bo2 would like a word

[compact blaze]

hey hey, its only 60 dollars

[willow fog]

It's missing like 3 whole sets

[subtle bison]

still $60 base lmao

[compact blaze]

very different price

[subtle bison]

i fucking hate activision with a passion

😊

[willow fog]

Anyone got spare 20 for my mod?

[compact blaze]

bars

[near tartan]

Me too, still blame Bill Gates for majority of the problems with the game companies that he owns

[subtle bison]

i dont even wanna think about bill gates either

[willow fog]

Some of these shots go so incredibly hard

Holy shit

[near tartan]

He’s making new matter instead of releasing elder scrolls 6

Anything but develop games that were announced years ago

[subtle bison]

price is a hunk in the reboots 😍

[willow fog]

I wish cod just stayed like this. Tactical gear, army men, and testosterone

But no

This is better

[subtle bison]

this is a joke right

they didnt right?

right?

🥹

[near tartan]

They totally did

ok that one is pretty good lmao

im perfectly ok with snoop

[subtle bison]

fuck no

i love homelander but him holding a gun feels so wrong

[near tartan]

I think in warzone you could use the Lasers as a weapon, when they were going for a more realistic call of duty

[subtle bison]

NO

[willow fog]

Yet, they didn't add kimiko

I'm angry

no matter what i do no minecraft version hooks

[near tartan]

Best part of that whole bundle

[subtle bison]

are you putting the wrapper in the same location as the javaw.exe runtime?

[earnest yew]

yeah

what am i dumb

[willow fog]

They didn't add the deep with an octopus gun skin. That shit would be peak humor

[near tartan]

Yeah, it does, RTCW before the dx9 build that they made still could get tracing, it was just dog shit

[earnest yew]

im also using the old 32bit java

[willow fog]

Anyways. More peak cod

FUCK

I love tac gear

[near tartan]

Cold War was So underrated

[willow fog]

It was good

[near tartan]

People hated it for NO REASON

The story imo, was one of the best, in years

[willow fog]

I liked it

The story was great

[near tartan]

Idk why mfs didn’t enjoy it

[willow fog]

Also this is my wife btw

Thought I'd mention that

[near tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-peter-griffin-family-guy-psych-ward-gif-26893232

[willow fog]

I uh.......

Wow

Found the textures

[subtle bison]

ok im buying

i loved bo1 and bo2

[near tartan]

Good choice

[subtle bison]

didnt play bo3 other than zombies splitscreen with a friend

[willow fog]

Also cr

[earnest yew]

cold war was peak

[near tartan]

Bo3 is my personal favorite cod, 1 BO3 2 BO2 3 Cold War 4 World at War 5 BO1

[earnest yew]

its so fucking ood

cold war is my favorite cod

oat

[willow fog]

Can you make it so that it remembers my res choice

yea i was gonna do that eventually

launcher really needs some love

[near tartan]

Wait does 4k work now?

[subtle bison]

ye you can do any res

[near tartan]

YES

I’m setting this up later

[subtle bison]

maybe wait for 0.6.0 to come out?

i think i can release it later this evening

[near tartan]

I’m probably not gonna have time till like 6-8 PM est

Nice work man

[subtle bison]

ty

[willow fog]

Every single folder is just this skin

Apparently it's from this skin

[near tartan]

Makes sense

[willow fog]

Nope

Found the right textures, but as always, they're missing the metal map

[near tartan]

😢

[willow fog]

I made a mistake but it looks really cool lol

[subtle bison]

jello mag

[lament quartz]

1.4

[earnest yew]

ok boss

[lament quartz]

after 1.4 its likely alot of shader work

[willow fog]

I think I'll just give up on the project for now

Can't find the right textures for many guns and the ones that I do, are sometimes corrupted, missing files, or just not the right model at all.

So unless I spend 20 dollars to buy the game on sale, It's not worth the effort.

[subtle bison]

thought about authoring the missing maps yourself?

[willow fog]

That's more work than it's worth

Plus, if I'm making a mod for cod guns, they better have the right textures.

[compact blaze]

Ya I understand your frustration for stuff not working, spent like 30 minutes trying to get my dumb vm to uninstall .net runtime so I can reinstall it

[near tartan]

Happy accidents

[compact blaze]

Please has anyone here had gameimageutil not work for them it can’t just be me

[willow fog]

I'm gonna leave with this video

https://youtu.be/q94DGmEYiZs

Maybe if I get the textures in the future

[compact blaze]

Are u using the arc base for the mw weapons?

[willow fog]

yes

[compact blaze]

It’s for the blank textures right?

[willow fog]

what

[compact blaze]

Like the textures for the mw base in remix not working properly

[lament quartz]

Are you gonna release what you have still or no

[willow fog]

Should I?

All the pistols are done

Rifles are half done

[lament quartz]

I would install it

[willow fog]

No attachments

Only the base models

[lament quartz]

Understandable

[compact blaze]

Is it normal the virtual machine experience makes you wanna cry

[lament quartz]

thank you to whoever added custom res

[winter radish]

@subtle bison Where can I get the simple installer for x64?

Gonna set up a VM Server on my Mac for testing

[subtle bison]

wdym

there is no installer

[winter radish]

Could have swore there was

[subtle bison]

for x32 there was

[winter radish]

ahhhh

[winter radish]

Where do I get the 64bit files then

[subtle bison]

for the compat mod?

its the same ones we use for the client

[earnest yew]

i made the simple installer for 64 bit

lol!

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/grabby-hands-give-me-i-want-you-me-want-me-want-food-gif-24520158

[steel lark]

real or fake?

[winter radish]

I haven't installed any of the 64bit stuff before

[lament quartz]

well thats new

[earnest yew]

should work still

[subtle bison]

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

you only need to copy garrysmod/addons/remixbinary
and garrysmod/lua/bin to your server

btw the module might freak out since it normally expects remix to be running

i have no idea how it would handle this server-side

[subtle bison]

some maps are rasterized

im assuming this is a gm_bigcity variation

improved or something

[lament quartz]

yeah

oh well, my gaming setup in rtx remix

[earnest yew]

updated

[distant crystal]

Approaching levels of photo realistic with that Steelcase office chair

[lament quartz]

lol

[winter radish]

Do I even need Remix on the server, shouldn’t Remix be a client side thing

[compact blaze]

Is that a furry playermodel

[lament quartz]

yes

it comes at a big suprise ik

[subtle bison]

no, but the module is built to register remix functions and idk what happens if that fails since you're running it on a server

[earnest yew]

nolan alien baby

[winter radish]

Do I need the RTX Fixes addon still or is that 32 bit only

[subtle bison]

32-bit only

[winter radish]

It worked, thank you

Any one got any map recommendations?

[earnest yew]

clue

ttt clue

[winter radish]

So many more maps work now, like the New York map tho skybox is broken, lol

[winter radish]

Huh

[earnest yew]

are you asking for the server?

or in general

[subtle bison]

coming later, but i got tired of both methods of how we open the HDRI editor

so its now in the context menu

as it should be

[winter radish]

Both

[winter radish]

got a workshop link?

some fiya maps

[steel lark]

this map is great

[subtle bison]

seems to work well too

it has some bad stuttering tho

CUtlLinkedList overflow! (exhausted index range) (x1904232)

[jade surge]

my god thos volumetrics, thats insane

[subtle bison]

looks like too much stuff in the render queue

[hasty sonnet]

i thought it was a fancy way of saying that the VRAM used is going above the budget

[subtle bison]

maybe in normal scenarios but this is because we're forcing more stuff to be rendered in the view frustrum

and source in fixed function does not like it

its mostly down to a map optimization issue tho

[jade surge]

when did this get changed? I remember these used to work just fine

[subtle bison]

there are much larger maps than this that dont run into this issue

[subtle bison]

idk they've been like that since the transition to x64, you can just ignore the lamp model in remix and then it will look fine

its mostly xenthios code and i havent touched it at all yet

[earnest yew]

https://tenor.com/view/ts-squid-game-squid-game-2-tuff-dance-tuff-gif-1192143770479362748

https://tenor.com/view/ts-squid-game-squid-game-2-tuff-dance-tuff-gif-1192143770479362748

[compact blaze]

For 0.7 you should try revamp xenthios code to work better with x64

[subtle bison]

i have in some areas

like the light updaters

[compact blaze]

Ya but like fully Y’know?

[subtle bison]

well there aint much to change lol, the others arent really being used

pseudoplayer is broken but i have not looked into it

[compact blaze]

Not really change but fix issues that appeared in newer updates/x64

[subtle bison]

i think thats the only notable thing other than the light being in the wrong spot for the gmod point light

well no there is also some light updaters getting stuck so they get culled

you've probably seen that in a few maps

[jade surge]

also I didnt even know we had an HDRI editor

[subtle bison]

yea its something i made shortly after switching to x64

[jade surge]

where is it in the current build?

[subtle bison]

its a seperate addon

[jade surge]

ah

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/sambow23/hdri_cube

[jade surge]

mioght mess with it cause the current stock skybox for RTX is quite bright

[hasty sonnet]

the sad part is if you have a app that messes with remix a bit the thing will fail to work

the thing is we dont know what it is

[subtle bison]

its a rare issue though from what it seems

makes it harder to figure out what causes it

[hasty sonnet]

do the people who have a issue with it use nzxt cam?

[subtle bison]

no idea

[hasty sonnet]

lets ask

[subtle bison]

well you're the only person with the issue now

at least from what i can remember

@willow fog is this satisfactory for you 😜
(the "fuck off and dont ask again button")

[willow fog]

Fuck yes. Now add it to the launcher and you're done

Gmod64 rtx 1.0.0

[subtle bison]

💀

[willow fog]

Full release (2025)

[subtle bison]

launcher stuff will have to come later, i wanna push 0.6.0 already 💀

https://tenor.com/view/green-mile-im-tired-boss-michael-clarke-duncan-gif-2375696290766999196

[hasty sonnet]

take it slow

you might burnt out

[subtle bison]

i already am, been working on 0.6.0 for like 4 weeks

[hasty sonnet]

and you'll just sit there

[subtle bison]

💀

[hasty sonnet]

and do nothing

you just desolately stare into the screen

askinf

asking*

how the fuck do i do this anymore

why am i here anymore

im tired of this shit man

[subtle bison]

bro got deep

[hasty sonnet]

im not joking

that is the stages of burning out (developer edition)

you start to get more people wanting faster updates faster everything

1st stage

[willow fog]

Same

[hasty sonnet]

(unlike the stages of grief this is a chronological thing)

2nd stage

you get tired a bit more and start to work less

3rd stage

you get more people on your ass asking "where update"

4th and final stage

actually not final stage yet

you just sit there staring into the screen

not doing shit

5th stage

[subtle bison]

trust me i have been doing a lot of staring between changes

im trying to push out 0.6.0 so i can take a break lol

[hasty sonnet]

you actually get back into it with full energy like a switch flipped and you push the update out

5th is the final one

[subtle bison]

i dont normally set release schedules either so im not worried about next time

[hasty sonnet]

dont make release schedules

they will act more like deadlines

[subtle bison]

yea thats what i mean

[hasty sonnet]

unless your very sure your going to finish it by then

then its no longer a deadline

thats just you telling people when the update will release

[subtle bison]

0.6.0 has been feature complete for a bit so the last few days have been hunting the final bugs, so i feel pretty confident

[willow fog]

Aight bro enough yapping for the day. You've reached your yap quota

We get it

[subtle bison]

mean junky

[hasty sonnet]

silence

before your ancestors were buried the earth was flat

we cant live with yo fat ass taking up burger king

[hasty sonnet]

anyway so what are you planning for 0.7

once you released 0.6

[subtle bison]

idk

i gotta take a break so my brain can catch up

[hasty sonnet]

thats genuienly reccomended

[willow fog]

Regenerate more brain cells

[compact blaze]

damn ar2 looks clean

[hasty sonnet]

damn bro why you have to make it shiny

[compact blaze]

That’s what the pbr maps made it look like

Don’t blame me blame juniez

[hasty sonnet]

its more rough

[compact blaze]

Blame remix 💔

[subtle bison]

or just adjust the PBR maps to be more rough

i did this as well with juniez's map's

[compact blaze]

Honestly I just wanted to see if the pbr maps would work in the mwbase ar2 I cba 💔

looks like dogshit

idk if its the config

but it looks like

fucked

it looks funky

istg it looked better b4

[subtle bison]

should i advertise that vfire works now

[earnest yew]

wait

like without any special shit

[subtle bison]

i fixed it manually a while back

a lot of particles actually

but it works ootb for everyone

just install the addon and thats it

[earnest yew]

why does the 1.0 build have no launcher

etc

[subtle bison]

hu

[subtle bison]

cuz its just the remix build

[earnest yew]

oh

[subtle bison]

the binary module is tied to the remix api version so i have to rebuild it for other remix versions

hence the gmod folder

[earnest yew]

wait so

theres no autoexec or anything?

[subtle bison]

wdym

download the other file

this is the actual compat mod

[earnest yew]

just skip dont replace

[subtle bison]

no do what it says in the top header

for both files

delete the 2 folders in addons, then replace everything when extracting

[earnest yew]

ok boss

[subtle bison]

oh wow i already discovered a bug

lol

forgot to skip rendering in 3d skybox passes

[earnest yew]

valve

pls fix

[subtle bison]

https://youtu.be/9DNbLen54DU

cant wait for this to come out

[glass plinth]

so do I have to add both what's in remix-1.0.0 and gmrtx64?

I've already removed the remixbinary and water_fix folders in my addons

[lapis delta]

@subtle bison

same question

[subtle bison]

the new remix build is optional

so you'd install 0.6.0 1st

[lapis delta]

1.0.0?

[subtle bison]

ye,
i dont include it by default since its less stable, its an optional package

[glass plinth]

whats different in the 1.0 remix build compared to before?

[subtle bison]

nothing other than custom API functions needed to fix some x64 specific issues

the older remix build included in 0.6.0 has the same changes

[lapis delta]

so, first of all

i need to download and place gmrtx 0.6

and then

replace with that zip

right?

[subtle bison]

yes

1. gmrtx0.6
2. rtx-remix-1.0.0

[lapis delta]

oke

[glass plinth]

would I have to reimplement DLSS 4 via profile inspector again or should it just carry over?

[subtle bison]

DLSS 4 is included in the new runtime so if you're using that then no issues

for the old one, it should just carry over

[glass plinth]

oh ok that's good

[jade surge]

importance sampled

NRC

ReSTIR

seems ReSTIR is still the best over all, so I'll have to test to see how responsive NRC is

[steel lark]

bless your soul 🙏

[glass plinth]

there is now a odd white line in the middle of my HDRIs

[subtle bison]

is this with transformers only?

it could also be a rtx.conf issue as they're now stock other than the hashes being transferred over

[glass plinth]

happens on both models and on different maps

[subtle bison]

just the one HDRI or do all of them do this?

[glass plinth]

all

[subtle bison]

huh

[glass plinth]

it's not as noticable in the first one due to everything being bright but it's definitely there on the others

[subtle bison]

is it present even without the HDRIs?

[glass plinth]

no

[subtle bison]

if its not then its definitely a remix setting

not sure what tho

oh ye i get it too on a clean build

its like light is leaking from somehwere

btw the issue is not the HDRI,

its also there with the normal skybox

[earnest yew]

thats pretty asf

[subtle bison]

im gonna downgrade my remix build and see if it goes away

ok something is very wrong

ok

its the rtx.conf

replacing it with my old one fixes it

[earnest yew]

boo

rtx conf

boo

[subtle bison]

i have some weird shit on mine so beware

but it does work on both builds

fuck it ill just repload the files with mine

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/releases/tag/gmrtx64_0.6.0

fixed it for both files

[lapis delta]

@willow fog what is this map with the cinema?

[willow fog]

It's the tv addon thing

Ask cr

[subtle bison]

these 2

[lapis delta]

yea, i know, i mean, that graybox

[steel lark]

i tested ttt with rtx but the ceiling was being culled (or maybe that was a issue of the map or that i had the 1.0.0 version)

[jade edge]

Even COD1 has such high price

[jade edge]

All of this is still there

In Story Mode

[jade edge]

We've got job to do

[loud mural]

Ayyyy congrats on 0.6.0 release!!

This is weird, detail textures are still rendering for me for some reason;

This is a clean install of x64 gmod

I have all the required addons installed as well

[subtle bison]

weird, it was working for me on a clean install. they usually dissapear after a few secs after spawning

if you disable RT you should see a bunch of green textures

if you dont then the addon isnt working or loading

[loud mural]

Yeah I got an error when loading in;

Error! Variable "$SEQUENCE_BLEND_MODE" is multiply defined in material "effects/hl2mmod/hl2mmod_hl2vistasmoke_1"! (x2)

[subtle bison]

hu

oh

make sure your remix build and binary module match

if you installed remix 1.0,0, you have to copy and replace all files in the archive

[loud mural]

I didn't install Remix 1.0.0

[subtle bison]

so this was ootb with just the 0.6.0 files?

[loud mural]

Yeah

[loud mural]

Which binary file?

[subtle bison]

its located in garrysmod/lua/bin

[loud mural]

How would ik if the Remix build matches with it?

[subtle bison]

if you installed 0.6.0, the remix build and binary module should already be matching

[loud mural]

Shouldn't these files be in a .trex directory iirc?

[subtle bison]

no, that's only if you use the bridge

[loud mural]

Ahh

That's weird I have no idea what's causing this then. I just dropped everthing into the gmod folder

and launched it I mean that's all I need to do right?

[subtle bison]

yea it should "just work"

[loud mural]

ofc I'm using the launcher

[subtle bison]

maybe a corrupted download?

[loud mural]

Yeah sure I'll redownload it

Do I need to clean install or can I just drop and replace everything?

[subtle bison]

the latter

[loud mural]

Cool

[subtle bison]

if you still get that lua error, see if windows defender quarantined the file or something

[loud mural]

Nope Windows Defender hasn't done anything

And yeah I'm still getting the error

Do you do anything funny with the steamapi?

[subtle bison]

nope, but something is preventing the module from loading

[loud mural]

I am using Goldberg but this is a legit copy I downloaded via SteamCMD

I just don't wanna interface with Steam atm

[subtle bison]

ye i dont see why that would cause any issues

[loud mural]

Weird

[subtle bison]

ill try redownloading gmod and see if it works for me

[loud mural]

Alright thanks

[subtle bison]

[loud mural]

Yup I did exactly that and it doesn't work for me, big sag

Also I can't use the Remix menu without the game paused

ya know, that old issue

But when I do turn off PT the detail texutres aren't green

[subtle bison]

ye the module fixes all of that

[loud mural]

Do I need to turn some settings off in Lithium or something?

[subtle bison]

without it pretty much nothing loads

the client.vdf and server.vdf inside garrysmod/cfg in the archive provide the right lithium settings

so it should work ootb

[loud mural]

Does it care where gmod is installed? I have it on my desktop atm

[subtle bison]

it shouldnt unless that folder has weird permissions

like onedrive or something

[loud mural]

Nah

[subtle bison]

might be worth moving it back to program files just to see

[loud mural]

Alright

[glass plinth]

it sucks that I have to make an nvidia developer account just to download their texture tool exporter

[subtle bison]

yea i dont get it either

[glass plinth]

Im not a part of any organization so idk what to put there

[subtle bison]

i just put my name again lol

[glass plinth]

oh it lets you put anything there

[subtle bison]

yea

[loud mural]

Yeah the module still isn't loading, damn :/

[subtle bison]

does the previous release work?

[loud mural]

I guess I'll redownload gmod to find out

Because I didn't have the previous version

0.5.3 uses x64 correct?

[subtle bison]

yep

[loud mural]

Modular

And it's drag and drop as well?

[subtle bison]

yyep

[loud mural]

Should I launch the game once before dropping in the Remix stuff?

[subtle bison]

if you've reinstalled it via steam yea

[loud mural]

[subtle bison]

huh

[loud mural]

I'm still getting a Lua error on map load but it seems to be working better now

[subtle bison]

uhh yea but there shouldnt be any at all

[loud mural]

Like I'm able to open the Remix menu in-game without pausing

[subtle bison]

0.5.3 and below didnt use the binary module/remix api for freeing the mouse

[loud mural]

The water does indeed get replaced though with the dev_monitor texture

[loud mural]

Ahhh

[subtle bison]

this might be a leftover from xenthio then

since its originating from the remixbinary folder

[loud mural]

And what is that RTX Remix Fixes repackaged and modified or something?

[subtle bison]

ye xenthio copied his stuff from the first repo over, and i've been modifying it over time

but that fixupwater function seems to be empty

[loud mural]

0.5.3 generally seems to be working but there is tons of culling

[subtle bison]

uhh something is still broken then

maybe disable steam cloud for gmod and ensure you only have the 4 workshop addons installed?

[loud mural]

I don't have it installed on Steam currently, I'm trying to avoid doing that

It's install via SteamCMD currently which bypasses the cloud

and I need to use Goldberg to get it running

[subtle bison]

is goldberg a steam emulator or a more minimal steam client?

[loud mural]

The former

[subtle bison]

ah that might be it

[loud mural]

Joy

ihatedrmihatedrmihatedrm

lol

[subtle bison]

hopefully just running it once via steam and letting it get its workshop stuff is enough

[loud mural]

That's exactly what I don't wanna sit around waiting for over 400 mods to download. I guess I don't have any other choice though

[steel lark]

CR is the new dxvk supposed to cull lights so much or not?

nevermind i'm reinstalling this i kinda did an oopsie because i installed the normal 6.0 release instead of the new dxvk one

but then i put the new dxvk on it

so it's kinda buggy

ok yep now it works beautifully i love you cr ❤️

source engine limit sized map running at 60fps????? who'd ever seen such a thing? 🤑

[loud mural]

mmm good old tornado map c:

[subtle bison]

hammer devs when they extensively use source engine optimizations:

🤪

[steel lark]

hammer devs when they make a shit map and it sucks

😌

love how the water looks now

😍

this is at 44 fps btw (the outside is quite foliage heavy)

[subtle bison]

is it that theater map with the 1000 copy-pasted tress 💀

aka how to kill source engine the quickest

[modern quest]

and Remix even quicker lmao

[earnest yew]

looks like cs2

or csgo source branch

[steel lark]

no?

[subtle bison]

ok good

dont find that cursed map

🙂

[steel lark]

i don't think so?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3443920823

[subtle bison]

nah its not

[lament quartz]

Ok now use hdri

[steel lark]

weird issue on the skybox

[steel lark]

i didn't install it yet

[subtle bison]

ye its a remix thing

[steel lark]

i will tho

this is not on the skybox??

[subtle bison]

prob some incorrect normals from the meshed world renderer

[brittle token]

tried starting up gmod and i get this right before a crash on the main menu. any idea what's up with it?

the dmp file throws a warning: "unable to verify timestamp for materialsystem.dll". but im not really sure what to do about it

[subtle bison]

thats... odd

is this with a clean x64 install? i've never had a crash before the main menu before

[brittle token]

yep, also went and disabled addons from the workshop from the steam game UI, and passed -noworkshop just in case

[subtle bison]

do you have any other software that might inject into the game?

[brittle token]

doubt it, but i do have MSI afterburner and the Nvidia app on the background

[lusty delta]

Hey, I’m having an issue where Gary’s mod like I have the remix menu but when I do anything nothing shows

[steel lark]

did you use the latest installer or some old video?

[lusty delta]

Latest

The one thing I did notice was when I had the remix installed the UI on Gary’s mod was black

[brittle token]

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/releases/tag/gmrtx64_0.6.0

im now noticing the modified version thing, imma try that i think

[subtle bison]

the base mod includes an older runtime with the same modifications

[brittle token]

nope, still crashed.

i did install rtx remix 1.0.0 too on it, mm

[lament quartz]

[subtle bison]

what are the contents of the log files in GarrysMod\rtx-remix\logs?

[winter radish]

Testing the RTX Server

There is a weird issue

[subtle bison]

the hud?

[winter radish]

No, sometimes the walls become reflective, was way worse in Construct

At least in TTT Clue it's less worse

[subtle bison]

wdym "reflective"

[winter radish]

Let me take a screenshot

[subtle bison]

if you temporarily remove or rename GarrysMod\bin\win64\d3d9.dll, does the game still crash before the menu?

[brittle token]

nope, renamed it and it started without issues

[winter radish]

Only happens on a server map, not local

[brittle token]

kinda looks transparent

[subtle bison]

the gamemode probably doesnt load the compat mod

those are detail textures

0.6.0 removes these automatically clientside on spawn

[winter radish]

I tried loading the Remix binary on the server side, it did not like it

[subtle bison]

ye i might have to put some work into making it more dedicated server friendly

P2P should relatively ok on sandbox? I never tried it

[winter radish]

P2P?

[lament quartz]

Pay to play?

[subtle bison]

peer to peer, host a server with the game itself

[winter radish]

Ah

[subtle bison]

sounds like a potential driver/software issue?

since its remix itself that's crashing

[winter radish]

Let me open one up for testing

[subtle bison]

bet

[brittle token]

if it's of any help

[subtle bison]

i dont think remix has that strict of driver requirements, but im not exactly sure where to start looking for remix related crashes

[winter radish]

Reflective thing still happens

Seems to not like the binary

[brittle token]

im going to try to re-install gmod and this time not touch the rtx remix installation that comes by default

[subtle bison]

ye i get lua errors when i make it 2 players

i guess niknaks doesnt have a server-side lib

i guess a goal for 0.7.0 is for better mp support or something

[winter radish]

Guess I'll start a RTX Minecraft server in the meantime

[crystal vector]

Hello, It would seem that the HDRI Editor Cube doesn't work for me. I installed everything as instructed on the Github page, but nothing happens no matter what I click in the HDRI menu.

[lusty delta]

Also, I installed the G mod fix so would I put the RTX remix files in there and it should work?

[brittle token]

@subtle bison it worked, maybe it just doesn't like the 1.0.0 version of rtx remix

[subtle bison]

weird

[lusty delta]

Then never mind as I don’t understand why the 1.0 version just doesn’t allow me to open the RTX menu

[winter radish]

I guess until RTX Multiplayer is working properly, we can setup the TTT Clue in the meantime

[subtle bison]

I've made some changes for the gmrtx 0.6.0 release, try this new version of the editor
https://github.com/sambow23/hdri_cube/releases/tag/hdri_editor_0.2

i updated the instructions as well

[crystal vector]

There we go, Looks lovely, too. Thanks.

Another thing, if I may, has anyone made a proper mod for PBR Textures? Everythings just a bit flat-looking by default.

[subtle bison]

not for all of source's existing assets, but plenty of people have done PBR maps for weapons and stuff

there have also been some maps done but most of the ones published on moddb no longer work due to a garrysmod update changing texture hashes a few months ago

most recent PBR stuff is people porting cod mw pbr maps to mw base

#showcase message

[crystal vector]

Guess I'll just have to figure out how to do it myself, then. Is the tool "PBRify remix" good?

[subtle bison]

its as good as it gets for AI PBR textures

[modern quest]

i'd actually recommend #1345238171549700116 instead. it's higher quality by quite a margin

[winter radish]

Found a TTT map that mostly works so uhhh, guess I'm hosting a TTT event afterall

Note: There's some bugs with multiplayer which is why I chose one of the most simple maps as simple maps right now seem to have less issues, let me know if you need anything

I wonder what happens when 32 bit players play with 64 bit players

Here's the map in case anyone wants to remix it properly: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=337311940

So I did this

The menu works now and the water is fixed

The detail textures are still an issue though

holy diamond wallaby

[modern quest]

that's with Preset D turned on?

[livid rapids]

not forcing any presets atm so I'm guessing it is

[modern quest]

that's truthful_shrimp then

known issue with it

[livid rapids]

oh, got them confused

that's what I get for turning off the indicator

[modern quest]

btw i looked into this a little bit more and it's actually not culling, but a distant light magically appearing

[modern quest]

if you're using release 1.0.0, you can go here to turn on preset D:

[willow fog]

@subtle bison LIGHT LEAKING!!!!!!!!!

WHAAAAAT

[modern quest]

he said to revert rtx.conf or something

[willow fog]

Won't. I marked a lot of mod specific particles

This map is ruined from all the culling

[compact blaze]

You can’t copy over the marked stuff?

[willow fog]

I also have a lot of custom settings for lighting and rendering

[compact blaze]

Ah ok

[willow fog]

Video is kinda broken but this is what the map looked like before the update messed it up

[willow fog]

Time to do advanced image searching to find out which shitty chinese gacha game this model comes from

That was quick

I'll let this download while I wait for cr to wake up and fix my gmod

Would look great with proper pbr

[compact blaze]

i don't think they would have PBR, i assume they'd have a flat cell shaded style

[turbid barn]

you still wasted your time and gived us such a nice project

so i think there is nothing wrong

[willow fog]

They still would have normal maps rough/spec maps etc

[hasty sonnet]

add some emissive maps to it now

[loud mural]

100% agree^

[hasty sonnet]

oh wow

remix 1.0 has alot more performance

[compact blaze]

Can u send map link?

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison how do i install reshade again

[compact blaze]

restir gi with RR

ya pretty weird

[hasty sonnet]

nvm

now i remember

[compact blaze]

any reason why nrc seems to just be worse than restir gi

[hasty sonnet]

tf does that do

[lapis delta]

i hope they will add sharc in future

[hasty sonnet]

yeah reshade isnt working

[lapis delta]

cuz, with restir it'll look better, i think

than nrc

and of course because of this fucking fog that nrc creates

[compact blaze]

idk, has same quality as importance sampled it seems

but like, less responsive

[compact blaze]

wait it doesn't already do that?

[lapis delta]

what exactly?

[compact blaze]

have nrc on top of restir

[lapis delta]

nah, it's too much expensive

[compact blaze]

then whats the benefit of nrc over restir

yes ik what the benefit is from the announcement

but has anyone seen any actual improvement with it in gmod rtx

[modern quest]

yes

[hasty sonnet]

is there any requirements for using NRC

[lapis delta]

cuz restir has some screen space features

[modern quest]

RTX GPU. right now 20 series is broken seemingly

[hasty sonnet]

i got 40 series

nrc is fully world-space

[hasty sonnet]

AI

your GPU isnt doing the heavy lifting

AI is

[modern quest]

lol

[hasty sonnet]

so more performance ig

[modern quest]

your GPU is doing the AI

it runs about the same for me

[hasty sonnet]

its more like the AI is a slave

[modern quest]

but with lower NRC settings, it still looks better than ReSTIR, and runs better

[lapis delta]

what?

no

[modern quest]

yes lol

i tested it multiple times

just today in gmod too

NRC is more responsive, does a better job with bounce lighting (especially from the skybox), and with lower settings still has those advantages but runs better than ReSTIR

[lapis delta]

reflections look like they're rasterized

[modern quest]

and i JUST linked multiple comparisons right above

[modern quest]

i didn't run into that

[lapis delta]

wait a min

[compact blaze]

asking cause of how fire looks in nrc vs restir @modern quest

[modern quest]

tbh i think the Restir result there is a bit much

[lapis delta]

medium preset (it took a bit of fiddling with the material settings to get it to show up)

[modern quest]

set RR to CNN

or just turn RR off tbh

it's been causing issues

[compact blaze]

i mean its the same as the ground truth 10k samples

[modern quest]

it's been accumulated though. afaik that tends to make light sources and all that brighter?

i'm quite tired though so tbh i could just be getting mixed up

both of these are in motion. left is RR on, right is RR off

RR causes all kinds of issues with reflections right now

esp on water

[lapis delta]

that's why i'm trying to figure out how to work with config

[modern quest]

what does restir look like there?

[lapis delta]

oh fuck, i forgot to disable nrd

[compact blaze]

is there any relation between NRC and importance sampled? they both look the exact same denoised or not

[lapis delta]

wait a min

[modern quest]

importance sampled is a very basic technique for RT

i'm betting NRC with denoising disabled just isn't rendering right or something

[hasty sonnet]

so whats the outcome which is better NRC or ReStiR

[compact blaze]

nah even denoised they both look/feel the exact same, with importance sampled being instant

are there any tests i can do to compare the two?

[hasty sonnet]

bounce test

[lapis delta]

nrc is overlaid on top of importance sampled

[compact blaze]

can you describe?

[modern quest]

that just seems like a bug tbh

you should file a report

[hasty sonnet]

its some kind of test i use in rtgi but basically\

you get a colored object

[modern quest]

this is the first time NRC has been implemented in a game, so there's bound to be issues

[hasty sonnet]

what the fuck happened to my UI

[lapis delta]

what exactly? fog?

[compact blaze]

and then?

[compact blaze]

its a restir fan

[hasty sonnet]

make sure your on a flat white surface

[hasty sonnet]

im using NRE

NRC*

[compact blaze]

exactly

[modern quest]

it looks like it's accumulating too much in the wrong places

something odd like that

[hasty sonnet]

and you fire a powerful light at it

that colored object

and you see if the light bounces immidietly

or it acts like a really slow camera (10,000,000,000 FPS camera's exist)

where you can see the light moving

it really just moves like a object without gravity

so whats up with my spawn menu

[compact blaze]

valid area?

[hasty sonnet]

sure

[compact blaze]

tried searching for objects and it insta crashed 💔

[lapis delta]

huh?

i can send you more screenshots

[compact blaze]

nah im checking later this rtx bs keeps crashing and im too ill for this 😭

can anybody help me with this (cuz it's not working)

i tried to fix it with deepseek but it still doesn't work

[modern quest]

you prob need to wait until monday for some help

[lapis delta]

and how can i make it so that it is specifically for nrc?

[modern quest]

yeah you can't really do that

one of the Nvidia peeps needs to give us the config

[lapis delta]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebobchacha-gif-22030211

[modern quest]

i can't find it in the original repository or anywhere else

[lapis delta]

im crying

[modern quest]

basically though

it'd just be controlling the same variables that are available already

their presets are probably better than anything you could manage manually

[steel lark]

this map the hdri doesn't appear and 3d skybox has some stuff on the sky https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=147132515

uhhh nevermind the hdri issue i didn't put the textures

oops

[lapis delta]

too long to wait until monday (especially until monday evening)

[steel lark]

school is starting monday for me

joever

[modern quest]

having just looked through all of the available settings, there's really nothing you can do

NRC is extremely optimized

https://tenor.com/view/napoleon-there's-nothing-we-can-do-napoleon-pyritesian-gif-17490332095914688011

maybe increase the target iterations here. it'd be higher quality

but comes at the cost of performance

[lapis delta]

but it looks like uhm

fog

[modern quest]

yeah that's definitely not intended lol

that's why i suggested filing a bug report

[steel lark]

wdym?

[lapis delta]

can you please? cuz i don't know as much as you, i think

[modern quest]

if you can share the map that you're testing in, i should be able to

it's a very specific scenario

you can customize it????

[steel lark]

that's so cool

[steel lark]

ohhh i know where this is

so true

[steel lark]

why don't light rays go directly into the camera?

ik it's kinda a stupid question but i have no idea why

wow..

least protected laser room ever

[jade surge]

There was no accumulation in the photos I sent

[compact blaze]

Ya ik I just wanted to show an example of ground truth vs nrc and restir

Since what I was doing reminded me of ur messages

And thought it’d relate

[jade surge]

Ah

[lapis delta]

did you check this?

[willow fog]

So what are the findings?

[willow fog]

@subtle bison Wake up

[earnest yew]

true

[willow fog]

It's time to help me fix my gmod

[subtle bison]

looks like the addon isn't loading, are there are any lua errors in the console?

[willow fog]

lemme see

[subtle bison]

nah none of those are it

they're yellow

[willow fog]

so not hing

[subtle bison]

so you dont get any error pop ups when loading a map in the top the left of the screen?

also i think there is a "Problems" button at the bottom right of the game menu

im not on my pc rn so i can't check

[steel lark]

cr is the remix capture mode supposed to still cull everything?

[subtle bison]

it disables source world rendering so captures are clean, if disabling it makes everything get culled, something is wrong

[steel lark]

no i mean everything that is supposed to be culled is still culled

the fps doesn't even drop

🪆

oops gmod crashed

i enabled 3dsky with the remix capture option

How can I go about making PBR mods manually, rather than using PBRFusion? I assume I need the RTX Remix Toolkit, yes?

[loud mural]

Yeah I have, I decided to bite the bullet and install it on Steam

That's what those messages were about

[subtle bison]

this is a good starting point

[subtle bison]

such a pretty map
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3444411473

looks weird without the vanilla fog tho for sure

[modern quest]

reminds me of skyrim for some reason

[subtle bison]

yea i can see that a bit

[crystal vector]

So, I installed RTX Remix. I go to click Create, and I set my directories. GarrysModRTX\rtx-remix, and I set the project file location in garrysmod\addons\RTXTest. It will not let me create the project.

[subtle bison]

it needs to be somewhere in your local user folder, the toolkit cant get the correct write permissions in program files or any directory inside it

such as your gmod install

so make your project folder somewhere like C:\Users\username\rtx-mods

[crystal vector]

Funnily enough about that, my D Drive just goes D:SteamLibrary, anyway, the local user folder thing didn't work. The rtx-remix directory is still the game install location on my other drive.

[subtle bison]

does it provide a specific error when it fails?

if it does, send a screenshot

[crystal vector]

Nope, the Create button is just grayed out.

take a screenshot of the whole window if you can

did you take a capture to load into?

How do I take a capture, go ingame and do it in the RTX-Remix menu?

[subtle bison]

yes, but with gmod there is one extra step

enable this before taking a capture

Do you think it's possible for a fog mod or volumetric fog addition to remedy this?

I remember early gmod remix was very foggy

legacy fog remapping takes any d3d9_fog calls and sends them to remix
