Garry's Mod

[glass plinth]

enabling legacy volumetric fog doesn't seem to do anything with this map

[subtle bison]

weird, it did for me

[glass plinth]

unless the HDRI is messing with it but I don't believe it is

[subtle bison]

check the transmittance values

you might need to lower it

[subtle bison]

oops i meant this one

Transmittance Measurement Distance

[glass plinth]

I might be blind, am I looking in the right section?

or do you mean remapped transmittance distance

[subtle bison]

this one

im on the older runtime and idk if they changed the layout

[glass plinth]

I had to enable show advanced material options for it to show

lowering the distance doesn't seem to do affect anything either

should I just copy your settings 1:1 just to see what happens?

[subtle bison]

yea see if it makes a difference

[glass plinth]

looks like it did something if i compare the two

I kind of like it more even if it doesn't really give off the desired fog effect

[modern quest]

now it reminds me of fallout 4 lmao

or 76

[subtle bison]

yea i get a 76 vibe

[modern quest]

think it's the color

looks really nice though

[glass plinth]

here is the HDRI file if you guys want it, I was trying to go for a Vice City atmosphere

[crystal vector]

How do I do the ingestion stuff and the normal map generation and whatnot? I looked up a video on how to ingest and it was in ravenholm, it made no sense to me in a GMod context.

[subtle bison]

that video is with the older toolkit but its the same case for every remix game

idk if you already mentioned this, but the light leakage issue was because the distance light is forced on by default in new rtx.conf files 💀

ty nvidia

disabling it fixed it

[crystal storm]

What part of the ravenholm example video didn't make sense? I can probably explain it better

[subtle bison]

@hasty sonnet hey i released a new ver of the HDRI mod
might wanna see if it works on your PC now
https://github.com/sambow23/hdri_cube/releases/tag/hdri_editor_0.2

[crystal vector]

I think I got the ingest working, and now I'm just left with albedo maps. The tutorial for replacing textures says to select the roughness, normal, etc maps that I don't have. Am I missing something or can I just generate the maps in the toolkit?

This is on GM_Construct, for reference.

[subtle bison]

you can with the AI tools at the top right of the toolkit or use PBRFusion 3 (preferred method)
#1345238171549700116 message

you will have to manually extract the albedo maps from the game for both methods i believe

the capture stores the textures here GarrysMod\rtx-remix\captures\textures

[subtle bison]

updated the release with new rtx.conf files
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/releases/tag/gmrtx64_0.6.0

no longer have to use my cursed one

[subtle bison]

ok well i guess the new ones are still cursed? on both the old runtime and 1.0.0, i get exaggerated colors in indirect bounces

@modern quest ever seen this before?

looks very strange

this might be a transformers thing

[modern quest]

sure haven't

1.0 has some cursed shit going on lol

[subtle bison]

ok well now the issue is gone for whatever reason

nvm

its because NRC was on

restirgi looks so bad wtf

i wonder if 1.0 sets some weird defaults

ill regen the rtx.conf's in a older remix build and see if it works correctly if i bring it to 1.0

[night bramble]

the confs can definitely mess things when carried between versions and such I've noticed

[modern quest]

you should disable the setting that saves all Remix settings though. that's what keeps causing your confs to break over time

[subtle bison]

i did

these new confs are with saved settings only

oddly my cursed one works on both builds just fine

but i know burrito does not want me to include it lol

not sure how its happening, but NRC is no longer crashing my game every few seconds

👁️

[subtle bison]

yeah i fixed the issue i think

i should've made seperate rtx.conf files for both versions to begin with

ok reuploaded both files

i think that's all of the remix issues solved

[subtle bison]

poor gman
where did his hair go

[glass plinth]

@subtle bison do you have the original exr/hdr files used in your HDRI mod?

I have a crackpot theory where I make the top half of the image daylight with a horizon in the middle, then have a night image at the bottom

utilizing the rotating feature I could theoretically make a day/night cycle

[subtle bison]

i dont have the original files anymore but i think i remember the 1st one
https://polyhaven.com/a/autumn_field_puresky

[glass plinth]

thank you

I'm looking for the other night sky that isn't too dark that has the large moon

[subtle bison]

the 2nd one?

i think its # 6?

[glass plinth]

yeah

[subtle bison]

ill see if i can find it

[glass plinth]

I wonder where I'm gonna put the moon at the bottom

[hasty sonnet]

i tried that

still didnt work

i got it way before you pinged me

but ig ill reinstall it

[subtle bison]

https://ambientcg.com/view?id=NightSkyHDRI003

found it

[glass plinth]

thank you 🙏

[hasty sonnet]

yeah it didnt work

[glass plinth]

so far so good

damn I can almost see it working, it just needs to go in the opposite direction

I also need to fix the seams

if there was a way to go backwards or to go -360 in rotation that would make it more believable

[hasty sonnet]

the second it turned upside down i was like

the fuck just happened

just use a dedicated night sky

[glass plinth]

I'm trying to make it like a dynamic day and night type thing

[hasty sonnet]

imitating day night cycles is something hard to do

[glass plinth]

hence my crackpot theory and why I tested it

[hasty sonnet]

try making games

then you'll understand we cant just use the most obvious solution because most of the time it will end in disaster

[glass plinth]

nah im good

[subtle bison]

this actually looks kinda cool lol

[hasty sonnet]

i get the idea but it doesnt seem easy to develop

but i highly doubt people would stay in a gmod map for a long period of time

the longest id spend is around 2 hours atleast

not 8 hours

[glass plinth]

it doesn't have to be 1:1

[subtle bison]

wish remix had some kind of built in sky replacement feature with volumetric clouds, atmosphere, sun, etc so we can have a real ToD system

[hasty sonnet]

for volumetric clouds i already know a method

found it

@subtle bison https://advances.realtimerendering.com/s2015/The Real-time Volumetric Cloudscapes of Horizon - Zero Dawn - ARTR.pdf

but this is prob useless

until we get someone crazy enough to develop that system

NRC

ReStir

ReStir makes sure that dark areas are dark

NRC does that but not that fast

it requires more responsiveness

NRC offers the most performance with balance of Quality

ReStiR offers the most of quality

Importance Sampling is just dogwater dont even try it

[glass plinth]

what happened to the utility that lets you make your playermodel cast shadows?

[crystal storm]

tfw ReSTIR forgets door handles can cast shadows

NRC is a step in the right direction but currently ReSTIR seems to cover the bases pretty well while NRC causes hiccups in other games

[hasty sonnet]

dunnoh

[glass plinth]

I found an alternative

[hasty sonnet]

NRC feels more screenspaced tbh

[crystal storm]

I see what you mean but IMO its on a per game basis, like Delta Force absolutely hates NRC but other games like SWAT 4 see a massive improvement from it

[hasty sonnet]

i have a personal vandetta against screenspaced shadows

and ray tracing

[modern quest]

and the ReSTIR implementation has had a long time to mature. it's been in Remix since release. NRC was just added (and this was the first real implementation of it)

we'll see improvements to it with Remix updates 🙂

[crystal storm]

Very true, its kinda crazy that we're some of the first to be able to implement these new features. Triple A games are gonna have to catch up if we figure out how to use them quicker than them lol

[modern quest]

yeah 😛

this is basically the first public implementation of RTX Skin too afaik

or one of the first

[crystal storm]

Yup, hopefully the ingest texture thing gets fixed otherwise I haven't bothered updating the toolkit

[subtle bison]

pseudoplayer? its still built in but its disabled by default as it no longer works correctly

[glass plinth]

yeah that's the one

[subtle bison]

rtx_pseudoplayer 1
rtx_pseudoplayer_unique_hashes 1

and reload the map

[glass plinth]

maybe then mario will show for me

[subtle bison]

wait

i just tried this

it still works 💀

wtf

this was broken for a long while

[glass plinth]

damn

[subtle bison]

i missed this feature so much

[glass plinth]

I have no clue why installing G64 breaks spotlights

[subtle bison]

looks like its spawning its own sprites?

also doesnt g64 use a binary module?

[glass plinth]

I have no clue I just threw it together to see if it worked

this effect carries over on other maps as well it only occurs on lights

and they also appear through walls

[hushed trail]

I wonder if it supports the gpu reskinning

[subtle bison]

nope

only blade and sorcery might and magic supports it thanks to king david's efforts

[hushed trail]

Oh that's a shame, engine level changes needed?

[subtle bison]

yeah

[hasty sonnet]

we gotta wait till valve gives us the green light and everything

[subtle bison]

wdym

its up to facepunch to open source gmod

[quiet scroll]

wut happened to that one guy from facepunch joining the discord and looking into remix?

[subtle bison]

never heard anything back

[quiet scroll]

@half viper where the huzz at strelok

https://tenor.com/view/walajuku-walajukuevans-squidward-meme-looking-around-nervous-suspicious-gif-22814577

so uhh, what's the latest with gmodrtx - are the current builds all good?

[subtle bison]

so far

[quiet scroll]

Ahhh gotcha gotcha, gmodrtx with 0.6 is still solid, the changes come in from dxvk-remix

[subtle bison]

wha

[quiet scroll]

Ohhhh, is one to just upgrade and one that has the full install?

[subtle bison]

dxvk-remix-1.0.0-gmod is just the remix 1.0.0 runtime with gmod specific changes, its not the compat mod (it has a garrysmod folder as the binary module is tied to the remix version)

i didnt include it in the main release as it has stability issues versus pre-1.0.0

[modern quest]

i like your new pfp btw

[quiet scroll]

Thanks!

Omg CR the new menu is sooooooooooooo good

[subtle bison]

chat we are so back

[quiet scroll]

idk if this is cuz I didn't clean install (just overwrote the old gmodrtx version) but I'm kinda stuttering

[subtle bison]

that pool map doesnt really cull any entities and overwhelms the engine's render lists

you have to use the lowest render bounds settings to get less stutters but i cant prevent them entirely

btw you can see this in the console when it happens

[subtle bison]

this

[quiet scroll]

Ahhhh gotcha, that's a bug I'll GLADLY take for what it gives us

[subtle bison]

rtx_fr_use_pvs 0
rtx_fr_static_props_pvs 0
you can try setting these and reload the map

but make sure to turn them back on for others

PVS optimizations can do the opposite of helping performance when maps render everything at once, which is what i think the pool map does, idk

[quiet scroll]

jiminy cremis, that fixed it good lord the transformer model is madness

I never noticed how blury everything used to be now that it's all so clear in motion

[subtle bison]

fr

[subtle bison]

good to know, maybe ill add a per-map toggle for PVS as well in the next release

[quiet scroll]

Oh wait, I spoke too soon

[subtle bison]

yea the map is cursed

[modern quest]

Remix has asset streaming now and even that's not enough for that 😢

[subtle bison]

this is a gmod thing

[modern quest]

ah

could look at the reflex stats to see what exactly is stuttering at least. it shows issues with the engine too

[subtle bison]

its just the engine, its because we're making the render bounds of objects larger so the view frustrum doesnt cull them

it has the adverse effect of causing major engine bottlenecks since we're rendering too much at once

[quiet scroll]

oh yeah it's definately just that map - I can't believe how FAST this is

[subtle bison]

but this issue only happens in maps that dont use the PVS to cull stuff that isnt visible

fuck it realtime cubemap ball

[earnest yew]

nrc this

resgir that

why cant we be friends

[subtle bison]

restir my beloved (it doesnt crash :3)

[earnest yew]

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

[subtle bison]

no secondary reflections 😦

found a good way to visualize how the culling works
(low render bounds - default preset for all maps)

[lament quartz]

Wow that's some friendly culling

[subtle bison]

here is what very high render bounds looks like

rip my fps

[quiet scroll]

there's like NO latency from my mouse to the screen

what black magic have you done CR

[subtle bison]

oh fuck yes

i always wanted to try this

[quiet scroll]

https://tenor.com/view/ascending-energy-galaxy-gif-17739196

[subtle bison]

here is the mod if anyone wants it

it replaces this material

[subtle bison]

🤤

[modern quest]

can you try doing this with NRC on?

[subtle bison]

what would be different?

[modern quest]

someone posted what looked like a rendering bug with NRC in a scenario like that, i wanted to see if you could recreate it

[subtle bison]

there is some weird hue or color effect going on with NRC from what I can observe

[modern quest]

interesting, that's not the same thing but that's still interesting

[half viper]

He isn't from facepunch but he modifies the game

[quiet scroll]

@half viper oh maybe I was thinking of the wrong one? I was thinking this guy :3

his bio says he's a programmer at facepunch

[half viper]

Oh

Sam

He doesn't work on gmod anymore afair

He works on s&box

[quiet scroll]

@sage pagoda good tidings sam, I hope this discord message finds you well You know, native gmod rtx support would be rather swell, sure would give more mod options for good 'ol gmod don'tcha think?

GARRYYYYYY

[lament quartz]

[subtle bison]

[onyx ridge]

what if you like

did a lua(?) thing that makes the cubemap material have a unique hash in remix

iirc doesn't the cubemap one and the other flat colour one share the same hash

[steel lark]

Cr now make materials have remix material properties from their vmt (SPECIALLY REFLECTIVITY)

[willow fog]

Bro did not have to write a message like that

[onyx ridge]

finally trying new grt

god this is so much cleaner than before

[compact blaze]

GRT?

[onyx ridge]

(gmod rtx)

[compact blaze]

ah ok

[onyx ridge]

hm

i've tried both devcorporate and atmospheric apartment and for some reason both of them are rasterized sometimes

usually it's when looking in a specific area

[compact blaze]

Recording?

[onyx ridge]

if i go out of bounds they always render properly so it's probably an entity?

[willow fog]

@subtle bison I figured out why it didn't work properly after updating

I uh...

I deleted the old addons and then didn't actually update it

I didn't even download the new release

[willow fog]

Welp

More issues

@subtle bison Check it

[earnest yew]

@willow fog

[willow fog]

hi

[earnest yew]

https://tenor.com/view/kasane-teto-pearto-pear-gif-8709426259552954643

[willow fog]

That's me

[willow fog]

What did u do to teto

Finally tuned nrc to look as close to restir as I could

Flash warning

Like eyeball burning flash

[viscid ocean]

gmod rtx in 2026

[viscid ocean]

what is this at the bottom

[willow fog]

Dlss debug text

[compact blaze]

why does nrc do this?

idk i feel like with its live training it places the info it gained in the wrong places

[willow fog]

gmodception

[compact blaze]

can u play this video with importance sampled and see how it looks

[willow fog]

Very noisy

[compact blaze]

what addon are u using for the video player btw

[willow fog]

#1116089843479498782 message

[onyx ridge]

i will be damned considering through omniverse remix toolkit works just fine

[lapis delta]

loving this video

[willow fog]

Probably one of the best showcases of gmod after this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wpTY3LM5bc

[compact blaze]

whats this video called?

[willow fog]

https://youtu.be/Kybi1q3rjdk

[onyx ridge]

i am going to hope that the remix toolkit doesn't take 20 billion years to build

[willow fog]

Haven't builds be broken for a long time now?

[onyx ridge]

github actions apparently have never worked

hoping that cloning it and building it myself'll work

[willow fog]

No you just have to download as zip and run build.bat

[onyx ridge]

cloning is like downloading as zip but better

[willow fog]

Download as zip but harder

Regardless, I don't think it'll work anyway

[onyx ridge]

copy url + git clone (ctrl+v) > unzipping

[willow fog]

Download as zip > unzip

[onyx ridge]

• if there are updates you just git pull and it only downloads the stuff that's changed

first time requires like one or two more clicks than zip but all future updates you don't even need to open the toolkit's github

oof

building absolutely burns through storage space

[subtle bison]

nah, there errors only show up if you have conflicting addons or don't have the 4 base addons installed/enabled

most likely the latter

[subtle bison]

this one isnt even an error lol

nor is the one after it

[willow fog]

Yeah, I don't know what happened but I had to reinstall everything and it's working fine now

thx tho

[willow fog]

Found the best graphics settings for NRC. Can't get it looking better than this

Bloom is set too high tho

[subtle bison]

is this even gmod anymore lmfao

[raw edge]

what's your CPU though?

[raw edge]

is it just me or that mug looks like it has less vertex and also less smooth round

then again that might be a real mug with interesting design

[willow fog]

[onyx ridge]

uhh i forgor but it's gpu related

toolkit's 'minimum' vram is 8gb, my laptop has 6

it works fine for me though

[raw edge]

now that makes sense

[raw edge]

so, where did you buy that mug?

[onyx ridge]

also vphysics jolt has a proper player controller now

🎉

[willow fog]

idk man

[onyx ridge]

my gmod has modern(ish) graphics and modern physics

[willow fog]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ndMmKD5OTts?feature=share

[onyx ridge]

also map light control tool when

[willow fog]

Hey @subtle bison flashlight no workey

[willow fog]

u can

[onyx ridge]

other than putting props over lights to block them

[willow fog]

I meant this

[onyx ridge]

i mean for non directional lights

[steel lark]

stop pinging him god damn

my flashlight stopped working too when i used a improved flashlight mod

but that's just like incompatability

[willow fog]

I will

[steel lark]

🤑

[compact blaze]

@steel lark

[steel lark]

https://tenor.com/view/i-love-you-gif-26324296

[ember stone]

guys i uh, keep crashing at big maps, is big mods like tfa guns the issue

[subtle bison]

you probably have a mod that overrides the flashlight fixes

[willow fog]

I see

[steel lark]

i thought it replaced projected textures with spotlights

[steel lark]

THE SHADOWS nice

[willow fog]

GUYS WHERE THE HELL IS THE SAVE BUTTON

[onyx ridge]

i long for a day where rendering isn't being bottlenecked by the engine

[willow fog]

It was right there 5 minutes agho

[steel lark]

cr do you know why some textures randomly get scaled up?

[willow fog]

I only have these

[steel lark]

seems to only happen when looking down

[compact blaze]

Mmmmm vphysics jolt

[steel lark]

importance sampled is supposed to look worse right?

why is it better than nrc and restir?

[compact blaze]

You load the save ingame now iirc

[compact blaze]

It’s noiser in some instances (dark scenes) but is instant and even more accurate than restir and nrc in some cases which is really weird

Like how restir and especially especially NRC seems to panic with the white room in construct when it’s dark

And sometimes with nrc and the data it’s trained on it places it in the wrong areas

Feels very screen space

[onyx ridge]

this poor 20 year old game engine

[compact blaze]

Recorded an example here

[compact blaze]

U replaced it with jolt right?

[willow fog]

WHAT

[compact blaze]

Ya go have a look in the Q menu

[willow fog]

OHHHHHHHH

tHANKS

I was about to tear my face off

[steel lark]

uhm cool

[onyx ridge]

yeah

[steel lark]

this map is too big i need ultra perf to get 60fps

[onyx ridge]

if it was vanilla vphysics the game would've crashed after 5 barrels were touching

[steel lark]

(this was the same perfomance gm_construct would have before 6.0.0)

[subtle bison]

only thing i can think of is the meshed world renderer, but if its the same turned off, it's a source engine issue

[willow fog]

Gotta figure out why my flashlight is fucked up

[subtle bison]

does it work if you only have the 4 base addons?

[willow fog]

uh

[willow fog]

man

[compact blaze]

What’s ur fog settings?

[compact blaze]

Nice thx

[willow fog]

kek

[compact blaze]

This is with NRC right?

[willow fog]

yes

[compact blaze]

NRC unironically my ops why is it so stupid and constantly uses trained data to place the indirect illumination in the wrong areas

I’m sorry that’s harsh sorry NRC

[subtle bison]

thank god i dont use it that way

[hasty sonnet]

you prob dont use deepseek always

[willow fog]

Hey deepseek

Make rtx remix for gmod

https://tenor.com/view/jarvis-stroke-gif-8617730390587806021

[subtle bison]

i dont even use deepseek lol, i only use claude since it integrates well into my IDE 🤓

[hasty sonnet]

thought you said you used deepseek once

[subtle bison]

ye just that once

[hasty sonnet]

btw

i cant get reshade working

i want to recreate the digicam look

like it just crashes when loading

so i uninstalled it

[subtle bison]

^

[earnest yew]

reshade is some buns

[hasty sonnet]

thats literally what i did

[subtle bison]

guh

[subtle bison]

maybe your windows install is cursed?

[hasty sonnet]

should i reinstall it?

[subtle bison]

maybe on a 2nd drive before wiping your stuff

just to see if it fixes anything

[hasty sonnet]

im getting 2 new hard drives to install DCS and other games

lord have mercy on my C disk

actually

id get 2 new disks

D and E

[lusty delta]

could someone help me get gmod rtx

[onyx ridge]

what was that thing you guys were doing for emissive particles

[hasty sonnet]

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

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3417054376

@lusty delta

[lusty delta]

how do i fix the issue gmodrtx launcher not finding my game directory

[willow fog]

By installing it in your game directory

[lusty delta]

i have gmod rtx executable in my gmod folder

[willow fog]

Weird

[subtle bison]

did you install the x64 branch of gmod?

[lusty delta]

i have no beta version of gmod

[subtle bison]

it has to be the x64 beta

[lusty delta]

oh

[steel lark]

cr being an absolute GOAT

[steel lark]

it worked for me on 5.9.0 i'll test it again and see if it doesn't work anymore

[lusty delta]

does anyone know where the water fix folder is located

[subtle bison]

its part of the compat mod
garrysmod/addons/remixbinary/lua/autorun/

[lusty delta]

oh then i already removed the lua file for water fix

how do fix the gmod map being side ways in rtx remix

[subtle bison]

you mean in a capture?

[lusty delta]

yes

[subtle bison]

there is a setting in the runtime that fixes it, one sec

[onyx ridge]

these new shaders are awesome

[hasty sonnet]

crazy

try shrimple

[lusty delta]

so what is the setting

[subtle bison]

still working on it

[winter radish]

Would make a nice ttt map

I’m obsessed with ttt now

When I move into my house, I’ll setup a physical server to run 24/7

[subtle bison]

ok well the PC im on just crashes when remix is installed so i guess ill recall by memory 💀

iirc its under enhancements, somthing something Scene is Z-up

i was way off

getting better CPU-bound performance in a VFIO vm running in linux than my actual native windows install what the hell

also NRC seems to be stable too

cursed

[steel lark]

bruhhhh

linux is blessed for real

[winter radish]

Magic of Linux

[viscid ocean]

jealous

b ro fuck rtx why wont it workkkkkkk😭

os is cursed or something

[steel lark]

i didn't even know remix was compatible with linux

i really want to dual boot linux and windows 11 now

😑

[subtle bison]

ye i got it working on a PS5 APU lol

[steel lark]

brother 💀

[subtle bison]

#1116089843479498782 message

this was recorded on it

🙂

[subtle bison]

that screenshot is a windows vm with my rtx 2080 passed through, so not technically linux

but the ps5 apu was with proton/linux

[winter radish]

I’m about to make Kim pin a bunch of info

[lusty delta]

also should i use gm_construct rtx or normal

[subtle bison]

either

[steel lark]

they seem to just be the same

[subtle bison]

rtx was made when the normal one didn't work

cuz shader skyboxes

[lusty delta]

i also have trouble finding the materials for gm_Construct

[steel lark]

wdym:

?

[lusty delta]

would i need packrat

[steel lark]

for what?? 😅

[lusty delta]

for getting the garry's mod map textures

[steel lark]

for?

it's not even on the map

their all packed in gmod under gm_construct/

[subtle bison]

also remix dumps the textures in the capture

[onyx ridge]

fwiw nrc works fine for me

[steel lark]

@subtle bison gm_milkpools

[onyx ridge]

if remix works on linux though then i have gotta speedrun getting an rtx card for my desktop

i get the feeling any benefits i'd get from linux'll get outweighed by not optimal drivers but ehhh whatever

[lusty delta]

also how do i make gmod textures to pbr

[subtle bison]

for the ps5 apu i used optiscaler to inject fsr2 into dlss

worked a lot better than i thought lol

[subtle bison]

you have a 20 series gpu?

[onyx ridge]

doesn't remix already support fsr

[onyx ridge]

nop

40 series

[willow fog]

💀

[hasty sonnet]

i couldnt fix it in rtx remix

[subtle bison]

what is the actual map name

[steel lark]

gm_poolrooms

[subtle bison]

ill look into it when i can

[steel lark]

that's specifically the normal version the dark version is probably the same tho

[ember stone]

Do i need to use the highest quality option for water? because its just white in gm_construct

[subtle bison]

water should work ootb on gm_construct without any setting changes. are you using the compat mod pinned?

[ember stone]

you mean remix 1.0?

my gmod had the old portal rtx workaround way back for some reason when i reinstalled it

[subtle bison]

no, the gmod x64 compatibility mod

it comes with water fixes and replacements

[ember stone]

yes i did

[subtle bison]

do you have enhancements turned on in the runtime?

it should be saying dev_monitor as the fallback texture if the enhancements arent loading

@winter radish iirc you were working on a fork of dxvk-remix that let you select FSR instead of dlss (via optiscaler i presume?)

[ember stone]

sorry i suppose to reply but my gmod started to crash nonstop now

[winter radish]

Ye

Until AMD gives in

[jade edge]

hey, just to make sure, i'm using DLSS3 here on GTA V, right?

[lament quartz]

Isn't k dlss 4

[subtle bison]

ye

[jade edge]

ok, good, its just "DLSSv3" that made ask things

[subtle bison]

silently or with an error?

it might be worth reinstalling everything on a clean gmod install

@modern quest hate to say but i think you were probably right 😜
I've been messing with NRC in a windows vm for about an hour and no random driver crashes at all

guess the windows install was cursed

[keen rivet]

hello gmod rtx chat i'm checking in whats new

[subtle bison]

0.6.0 of rtx fixes 2 is out

nothing has gone horribly wrong yet

[compact blaze]

https://youtu.be/K7KOZfyqmbE

[keen rivet]

cool

[keen rivet]

nice

[lapis delta]

rtxdi*

not nrc

nrc is fully world space

unlike rtxdi and restir

[glass plinth]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3266935910 found a new map that brings my PC to a crawl

[winter radish]

When should I host the TTT event?

[subtle bison]

looks like its something with remix

it runs 400+ fps with RT off

[glass plinth]

never realized how far back the flashlight is relative to the playermodel

[loud mural]

What settings are you using to get the volumetrics to look like that?

[willow fog]

Rtx remix

[loud mural]

???

RTX Remix isn't a setting lol

Like what settings in the Alt-X menu did you modify?

[glass plinth]

he put it right below the message you quoted 😭

[loud mural]

Whoops didn't see it

Thanks

[ember stone]

Its invisible

[ember stone]

even though its working on 32 bit

[lusty delta]

delete water fix

[lusty delta]

hey does anyone know how i can make gmod's texture look better for rtx remix

[glass plinth]

You could try these https://www.moddb.com/mods/half-life-2-episode-two-rtx-pbr-assets https://www.moddb.com/mods/skurtyys-half-life-2-episode-one-rtx-pbr-assets https://www.moddb.com/mods/skurtyys-counter-strike-source-rtx-pbr-assets

doesn't cover HL2 oddly enough

[quiet scroll]

Yeah they’re outdated - all of gmods hashes changed a few months ago. They only work for the base games, not in gmod. I got them on the whiteboard to update for the new hashes

[keen rivet]

hl2 rtx demo march 18th

[glass plinth]

it likely will have most if not all textures covered despite it being a demo

that would be incredible if they did leave it in

[keen rivet]

guess this didn't work out huh?

[glass plinth]

it worked somewhat for me, I can place them but can't remove them

[keen rivet]

these submodules don't actually link to anything?

[subtle bison]

oops, i put these in my project dir so i could search through them in my IDE and i forgot to put them in my gitignore

[keen rivet]

uh oh, looking at them within their licence right?

[subtle bison]

yeah but i never actually ended up using anything from these repos except for toggle-cursor-remix since we actually use that for toggling input

oh they're actually broken links wtf

i removed the 2 repos

need to figure out how to fix the link for tmc

[glass plinth]

how compatible are gamemodes besides sandbox?

I know TTT Sled Build and Murder are possible

[subtle bison]

i havent tested anything beyond sandbox to my knowledge

[glass plinth]

I'm currently trying the horde wave survival gamemode, everything looks to be working except for the shop/perk menu

nevermind, it could be addon compatibility issues

trying the mode on vanilla gmod gives me the same results, gonna try disabling lithium

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet ok fixed i believe
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/tree/main/public

[keen rivet]

i played TTT with the 32bit version a while back

[subtle bison]

yeah im done trying to get them working for now. im not sure if its really api instability issues on x64 or just poor coding

though our custom api functions for remix menu interaction seems to work just fine so idk

[subtle bison]

i yearn for the day we get culling patches for x64 😭

would help MP immensely

[keen rivet]

I tried I don't know what's still causing culling 😭

lmao

what changed

[subtle bison]

fuck i didnt update the premake file

😭

[keen rivet]

silly billy

[subtle bison]

:3

i think all that needs to be added is

            "source/entity_manager/*",
            "source/interfaces/*",
            "source/math/*",
            "source/mwr/*",

?

im on linux atm so i cant check if this actually works

[glass plinth]

I got it to work, I had to disable NikNaks and Srlion's Hook Library

[subtle bison]

niknaks is the lifeblood of the compat mod 🥹

also did my pr merge mess up

module.cpp looks wrong in the main repo

[keen rivet]

ay that worked,

i'll commit that

[subtle bison]

nvm is ok

[keen rivet]

guh

[subtle bison]

green stuff is the detail texture remover

weird that its not ignored for you, are you using your own rtx.conf?

[keen rivet]

yeah

[subtle bison]

ah that would be it

[keen rivet]

for first person player shadows, you still have the thing that makes a unique hash duplicate texture right?

[subtle bison]

yea the unique hashes cvar?

i thought it didnt work but it actually does still

[keen rivet]

oh its off by default thats not good

[subtle bison]

hu? they are

at least in the releases they are (via client.vdf and server.vdf)

i dont think i changed the default values in the actual file

looks like they're off by default there as well

wait i think i misread your message

[subtle bison]

oh you mean the unique hashes thing being off by default

[keen rivet]

oh shit material tool replacements don't work anymore need to fix that

[subtle bison]

hm?

the material tool works

[keen rivet]

oh i meant the replacements that came with the old rtx fixes

[subtle bison]

oh

we might need to clean this up lol

[keen rivet]

are the gui fixes broken?

[subtle bison]

nah they still work

at least from what i can tell

[keen rivet]

dont work for me hmm

[subtle bison]

are you running the game with the fixes from the repo? or a release build?

[keen rivet]

from repo

same way i always have

[subtle bison]

half of these dont even exist anymore and i dont think i've ever gone back to clean it up
release build for comparison

actually there is probably a few commented out files in there as well that need to be removed lol

[subtle bison]

what would be an example of the gui fixes being broken? last thing i remember about that is the ingame hud going transparent and weird render issues with the spawn menu

i havent seen neither in a long time

[subtle bison]

ah

[subtle bison]

bro took it to a whole new level

inception

[keen rivet]

culling rip

[subtle bison]

hu what is being culled here?

the prop?

[keen rivet]

ya

[subtle bison]

prob to do with the cursed render bounds stuff we do 🥹

[keen rivet]

big cube prop

better version of the config that is shipped with the release build

bro idk what i changed but it just crashes now

[subtle bison]

probably NRC if it's the remix 1.0.0 build

[keen rivet]

wasnt crashing before

[subtle bison]

if you set it back to restir gi, is it stable?

[subtle bison]

what's different?

[keen rivet]

lots of settings crud that shouldn't be in there

[subtle bison]

hm? the ones shipped with the release are the runtime defaults

i only moved over the hashes, set up the sky, and that's about it

[keen rivet]

its all this

[subtle bison]

so i guess these still get saved even with "Save only changed settings?"

i dont even have access to dlssfg settings so idk how that's set

[keen rivet]

this is my old conf

[subtle bison]

oh i think i interpreted this whole thing

[subtle bison]

this is the rtx.conf from the release?

im not near my pc so im not sure if you're saying the release config has a lot of junk or your old rtx.conf

[keen rivet]

ya this one

[subtle bison]

ah

[keen rivet]

which culling patches do we not have?

@fringe ingot did you ever end up doing the 64bit r_cullbox patches because i did eventually end up finding where that was

aw does the flashlight fix not work anymore

[subtle bison]

it does

as long as you dont have any addons interfering with it

like vj base

[keen rivet]

have everything off

except niknaks

[lapis delta]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-solid-snake-big-boss-gif-12248663

[runic gale]

@subtle bison uhhh

[quiet scroll]

Use. Your. Words.

💀

[runic gale]

?

It's Captured but RTX remix think it's vertical.

[runic gale]

@subtle bison yeah why my Parllax looks more werid.

after updating RTX-Fixes to 6.0

[compact blaze]

Try change your parallax settings in the runtime

[onyx ridge]

hm

sometimes when loading gm_conflux the game is really laggy

then after moving half a meter the game closes with no error

[runic gale]

fine for me

[onyx ridge]

it's not consistent

i think it might be to do with the culling stuff since when it happens it seems to crash at about the same time it normally recalculates stuff

[compact blaze]

weird how fog refuses to work lol

has anyone noticed fog refusing to work in gmod

[willow fog]

It doesn't work with hdri lighting

[compact blaze]

even with normal lighting, lemme try do it again

[willow fog]

That's...............

weird

wtf

[compact blaze]

ya whats weirder is how its a clean install of gmod with gmod rtx

by that i mean i used the factoryreset bat then installed the mod to make sure everything's clean

[subtle bison]

does the game crash with an error message or does it silently exit?

[onyx ridge]

it just closes

no error popup before or after

[subtle bison]

that's weird

just that map or all?

[ember stone]

Happens to me too on 64 version, also things become invisible with a weird texture, i guess thats the culling thing

[subtle bison]

no that sounds like something else

[keen rivet]

It looks too noisy and intense, you'll have to edit the height map to smooth it out, or lessern it's intensity

I think neural radiance cache made parallax have higher detail to match like when you render in reference mode

[onyx ridge]

only's happened to me with conflux so far

i don't know what triggers it (if anything)

[hasty sonnet]

blood is looking a lot better now

[willow fog]

Reshade or just remix settings?

[hasty sonnet]

remix

but i slapped a bunch of normal maps to blood

[willow fog]

I was talking about the post processing

[hasty sonnet]

its all in remix

[willow fog]

hm

[onyx ridge]

oof owie my poor laptop

[hasty sonnet]

bros GPU is NOT cooking

its being deep fried rn

[winter radish]

You should see my Steam Deck, the memory is shared

I should run x64 Gmod RTX on Deck

[willow fog]

Package the mod and post it

I feel like using reshade with remix now

You know what

[subtle bison]

it works

[willow fog]

I'm gonna

I know

[willow fog]

Oh cr

Hey

Issues again

Hdri cube no workey

The game isn't detecting the addon

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/skillissue-skill-issue-gif-22125481

[willow fog]

help

[subtle bison]

did you install the new version

[willow fog]

Th at's what I did

I decided to update it

And now it's just gone

Won't even show up

[subtle bison]

i removed the old ways of opening it

hold C and look at the top left

[willow fog]

No the addon won't load

[subtle bison]

local addons dont show there

[willow fog]

oh.....

[subtle bison]

as i said, i removed the old ways of opening it

so its not in tools or editors anymore

[subtle bison]

^

[willow fog]

wel

well

That's one mystery solved

[subtle bison]

doesnt the volumetrics break hdris?

[willow fog]

Won't show up regardless

And no

[subtle bison]

im not near my PC but looking at the 0.2 archive on my phone it looks correctly packaged so im not sure why it's broken for you

i only changed where it spawns so it shouldn't be broken

[willow fog]

Here's the thing. 0.1 also stopped working for me randomly.

So I updated

[subtle bison]

[willow fog]

But it looks like it still isn't working

[subtle bison]

do the debug thing

see if the dome spawns

[willow fog]

Doesn't

OH

wait

what thhe fuck

[subtle bison]

[willow fog]

I turned this off and on

[subtle bison]

and it works?

[willow fog]

yes

[subtle bison]

i think all reported issues since 0.6.0 has come out have been fvf related

[willow fog]

I can stare at my guns again

[subtle bison]

i will look into it

[winter radish]

RTX Skin those hands

[willow fog]

mmmm

Gun time

[willow fog]

It is rtx skinned

[winter radish]

Now drop the models

[willow fog]

Looks like concrete without

[willow fog]

Not until I can finish the mod

Which I can't

mmmmmmmmmmm

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Gun

oh lol

@subtle bison it also fixed the flashlight

[winter radish]

Keeping it for yourself

[willow fog]

Help me finish the mod and I'll release it

It was always the plan

I'm not releasing something unfinished

[willow fog]

Scrolling thru hundreds of textures to find this one missing bollboard image

FOUND IT

[willow fog]

This map has a lot of potental

I might just give it the pbr treatment

[subtle bison]

pbr blood let's goo

[willow fog]

try the blood paint tool

[subtle bison]

i think someone said this before, but it would be awesome if we had some rtx remix exclusive materials and decals to spawn with the toolgun

[hasty sonnet]

thats literally what i did

[willow fog]

ah

Then splatter it man

WHat is that

[hasty sonnet]

you want the rtx remix files?

its not that great but it does the job

[willow fog]

I love maps that are lit up with emissives

raaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[hasty sonnet]

its beautiful suree

the PBR blood was a small thing i wanted to try

[willow fog]

You succeeded. Now upload the mod

[hasty sonnet]

so just make a moddb account thats all?

[willow fog]

Yes. Or you can just not use that shitty fucking website

[hasty sonnet]

how the fuck do i upload

[willow fog]

shitty fucking website

[willow fog]

Fuck around and find out. I honestly don't remember

[winter radish]

Steam my beloveded

I stopped uploading my optimization mods to moddb because I found gamebanna and nexus easier to manage

Then of course P2 RTX has an internal Steam build

[subtle bison]

hmm, what would be the better site to distribute this stuff

[willow fog]

Gamebanana

Nexus

Github

Fucking google drive, even

Anything but moddb

[winter radish]

A new custom site dedicated to Remix mods

[half viper]

yeah nexsus is the best tbh

[subtle bison]

I'd prefer workshop but i believe it whitelists what files you can upload

I'd love to hook up the binary module to load remix mods from there

[winter radish]

I bet I can find the steamworks documentation on it

https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/workshop

[hasty sonnet]

get ready lads

@subtle bison

im gonna go drink some water and eat pizza

[willow fog]

Br thinks he's him

[subtle bison]

why does it have a countdown

[willow fog]

Because he thinks he's the one

[subtle bison]

is the countdown enforced or is it optional

[willow fog]

I think it is optional

[subtle bison]

so who's gonna jump on trying to use the hl2 rtx demo assets on gmod

if they even work

[willow fog]

Is it out?

[subtle bison]

no

[willow fog]

Get back to me when it's out

But I'm pretty sure the hashes are gonna be diff

[subtle bison]

hopefully not

[willow fog]

Doubt

Who knows

Regardless, we might get some source friendly dlls out of it

[subtle bison]

i think portal prelude had its hashes system updated as i was able to use the gmod water replacement mod

[willow fog]

Like that sexually transmitted disease dll

[subtle bison]

if it's 32-bit we're cooked

[willow fog]

ahhhh

[subtle bison]

unless we go back to x32

[willow fog]

Shit

No

Do not

[subtle bison]

i really don't wanna

[willow fog]

It's too laggy

[subtle bison]

but the lack of culling was so nice

[willow fog]

The bridge just can't handle it

ran like 20 fps with 6 spawned npcs

[subtle bison]

not to mention you could only load 1 map per game boot lol

would always freeze up on the 2nd one for me

[willow fog]

yeah

It was really bad

[subtle bison]

really hope blueamulet figures out culling patches for x64

🥹

i want to kill the forced view frustrum addon so bad

its too cursed

[hasty sonnet]

i cant find the post button

[willow fog]

lol

I had to spend an hour trying to wrangle the website when I published my mod

[hasty sonnet]

my fav part is this

[subtle bison]

hu who did the warzone weapons

[hasty sonnet]

idk

[willow fog]

huh

[willow fog]

post link pls

[hasty sonnet]

https://youtu.be/FkVwZMjgjm8?t=172

[willow fog]

ohhhh

It's Hana

[hasty sonnet]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/gmod-rtx-remix-blood-pbr-mod

[willow fog]

wrong link but ok

[hasty sonnet]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/warzone-20-rtx

[willow fog]

Yep

Hana

[hasty sonnet]

i cant believe this shit came from me finding a blood normal and roughness and metallic map

[willow fog]

I can't believe this shit came from me

Me when I'm constipated:

Or my mom when talking to me:

[compact blaze]

I wanna ask is blood paint tool an addon or something that’s already in the game

[hasty sonnet]

nah i added normals to this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2683396098

so i reccomend you have the mod downloaded

[distant crystal]

You mean like the normal paint tool?

[compact blaze]

Ya paint tool

[compact blaze]

Also thx

[hasty sonnet]

its literally blood textures that i was slapping normals onto

[subtle bison]

Hana did these

[hasty sonnet]

because its the blood textures thats used

so the paint tool is usable

or you can shoot a npc or ragdoll

its normals so it has reflections

sadly no displacement maps

[subtle bison]

hey do those lamps cull when looking away? im not near my pc to check but i thought they did

[hasty sonnet]

the lights dont

[subtle bison]

cool

[hasty sonnet]

no

i did not murder homeless people in that one pic

[subtle bison]

(he in fact did)

[hasty sonnet]

its too realistic

isnt it?

[subtle bison]

what, the blood?

[hasty sonnet]

yes

[runic gale]

you know you could use mouse cursor (split texture catgeory must be disabled) and select the texture in game.

[willow fog]

Not when the texture shows up for less than a split second

[onyx ridge]

oh yeah that reminds me

@subtle bison fix your freakig runtime integration thingie!!

[willow fog]

You can see that the billboard blinks for one frame. That's the frame I was trying to find.

[onyx ridge]

the cursor doesn't unlock if the game's paused

(as in, when you run the pause command)

[potent agate]

I turned on frame gen and my pc instantly crashed lol

[subtle bison]

i dont think there is a way to unlock it when the game is paused lol

[onyx ridge]

[subtle bison]

what is the issue with that tho?

mouse randomly clicking ui elements when the hud is hidden?

[subtle bison]

hmm maybe
https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/GM:OnPauseMenuShow

[runic gale]

What's causing Capture Export making map loaded vertical.

[subtle bison]

^

i forgot to set it in the new rtx.conf

you will have to remake the capture

[runic gale]

ok

[subtle bison]

specifically Scene Z-Up checked
and Scene Unit Scale 0.01 iirc

[runic gale]

why scene unit scale?

[subtle bison]

idk thats what i had mine on when i worked on meshes since they would have the wrong size in blender

you can prob leave it as-is for texture work

anything else to add to this list?
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/issues/14

[runic gale]

@subtle bison what about montion blur happening to the Parllax.

[subtle bison]

wha

[lapis delta]

https://tenor.com/view/fumo-fumofumo-touhou-maribel-hearn-maribel-gif-2631725927740300626

[runic gale]

Let me send video

[subtle bison]

looks like usual denoiser blur to me

you might want to ask in #general-remix as this is a remix issue

did this same issue happen in previous releases?

i emptied out a lot of junk in the rtx.conf as per a couple of users here wanted me to

[hasty sonnet]

10 mins left

then ya'll can make the game look like you murdered homeless people for a game pic

@subtle bison please flame react bro i killed homeless people for this shot man

[ember stone]

where do you guys get those mw2019 textured guns

like the chrome 50. gs is just black to me
