Garry's Mod

[hasty sonnet]

unless you wish to port the assets from mw2019 itself

G.U

and cuz i dunnoh how to do it like the guy who ported those

your in luck cuz its only textures

[ember stone]

i have the guns, they are textured black

i seen the screenshots from the deagle

[earnest yew]

cod textures are aids to work with

[ember stone]

not rlly much of a issue for most guns because they usually are black, so you dont see the untextured blacks, but since mw2019 deagle is chrome metal it really stands out in a bad way for me

[subtle bison]

looks very liminal lol

[hasty sonnet]

anyway the blood just dropped

[subtle bison]

looks like a concrete carpet lol, do you have a normal map applied to the decal?

[hasty sonnet]

yes

its prob from the normal map

[livid rapids]

Nuh uh

thanks bro

[compact blaze]

How are u getting fog working 💔

[meager oar]

i just clickd on preset heavy fog

also make sure u have atmospheric option disabled it messes up with the fog aswell and can cause it to not spawn

[compact blaze]

The terror

[earnest yew]

activate ur windows dawg

[meager oar]

hmm that looks like fog distance is set way too low i think?

[compact blaze]

I swear y’all are paid by windows to peer pressure others into activating it

[compact blaze]

What’s ur fog distance?

[meager oar]

20

is defualt but i have set it to 10

[earnest yew]

its called github

[compact blaze]

Weird

[compact blaze]

What real benefit would activating windows give 💔

“Oh boy I can now change my background”

[earnest yew]

get that nasty shit of ur screen

[meager oar]

nah activate windows logo is beautiful 😍

[compact blaze]

Nah ur def part of some new windows marketing tactic to shame and peer pressure people into buying windows

[compact blaze]

TRUE WE LOVE THAT WINDOWS WATERMARK

[subtle bison]

looks like a liminal place

[turbid barn]

wait, September 15

isn't it for old hashes?

[subtle bison]

ye

[meager oar]

no its a different one using new hashes look at da date Mar 17th, 2025

[turbid barn]

ooo, file update, i see

[hasty sonnet]

the description is crazy bro

[ember stone]

I figured how to make chrome textures now

You can capture and it loads the entire thing in the toolkit, thats some amazing tech

[compact blaze]

what revolver is that?

[ember stone]

357 from mw2019

[hasty sonnet]

thats

literally the whole point

great job genius

you literally figured out what it does

[ember stone]

well it was my first time, i thought it would be harder

do you know why some lights are much dimmer

than others even in the same map?

these are a few steps apart btw

also the part that is very dark is not supposed to be so dark

https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/2017081284305714755/634A9D332395947D8EED4DEE1F007D3BFB94FB4A/?imw=637&imh=358&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=true

this is how it's supposed to look

this happened in another map i tested too but i don't remember the name

it's not so bad since i can add light to the ceiling lights

[subtle bison]

i think its because the light updaters are stuck in the world geometry/model

the same issue happens in cs_office

i might come up with some way to automatically move them if they know they're stuck in something

[steel lark]

oh this issue happened to my own map where the light is not inside the model but that was in a very early 32 bit version so idk

i can test it now

my grandma's house rtx

@subtle bison

this light is so dim

but the pointlight is way below the fan

[subtle bison]

ye the lightupdater might be covering part of the light

[steel lark]

huh?

why doesn't it happen with every light then?

[subtle bison]

not sure, most of the lightupdater code is xenthio's and i havent touched it other than declaring light types

i might also be wrong here, it could be some remix issue

[steel lark]

i mean even ignoring the lightupdater texture it doesn't change anything so i don't it is that?

[subtle bison]

a remix issue ig then

[brittle compass]

did I miss a step?

[earnest yew]

delete all ur addons

or just

bomb ur entire gmod installation

[subtle bison]

the viewmodel isnt visible which makes me think its something interfering with rendering

[brittle compass]

I mean considering im only using this for screenshots, I doubt it's gonna be a problem

but at the same time, no sweps work as well

[subtle bison]

ye some other addon you have installed is breaking stuff

best to disable everything except the 4 required for the compat mod and slowly start enabling stuff until it breaks

[brittle compass]

fixed it :) is it there something I should tweak with alt + x?

[subtle bison]

the default settings are good for most people but you might find something you want to change

[icy mist]

hey can someone help me?

it says my GPU doesn't support RTX

but I litterly have a RTX 3070

[willow fog]

Now you don't

I swapped it when u weren't looking

[winter radish]

Got that GT 1030 now

At least it can still use 32bit physx

[subtle bison]

is it a real 3070?

but fr, you probably need to update your drivers

[noble vapor]

Did you model it from scratch or did you photoscan it first

[winter radish]

@subtle bison ready to extract those Half-Life 2 RTX assets? XD

We’re getting two maps so it should be a lot

[half viper]

@hasty sonnet try real life blood mod

[quasi blaze]

is gmod still even a work in progress for rtx remix?

[steel lark]

Scratch

I did take a bunch of photos around her house tho

[hasty sonnet]

no

I.W.K.M.S if i had to

[onyx ridge]

binary module should allow mounting remixed source engine games

(portal w/rtx and hl2 rtx)

[subtle bison]

🙂

[subtle bison]

always and forever

[meager oar]

35 gb dayum

[willow fog]

I'll be here all night

[subtle bison]

rip hl2rtx is 32-bit

no dlls for us

[quasi blaze]

can RTX remix atleast stay free forerver?

[subtle bison]

yes its open source 💀

[quasi blaze]

i'm trying to wait to save my money for new specs so hopefully it's worth it

[subtle bison]

moment of truth

[quasi blaze]

@subtle bison actually i'm not sure is it actually gonna be worth it?

[willow fog]

symlink?

[subtle bison]

yea im not killing my space

[compact blaze]

I like how u don’t even try the demo yet u try seeing if gmod works with it

[meager oar]

ill stay a bit longer 😅

[subtle bison]

[compact blaze]

Also I hope the hashes aren’t different cause it still could be even if it loads in all the materials

[willow fog]

CR

[subtle bison]

agony

[willow fog]

You're making me wait

[subtle bison]

the hashes dont match

[willow fog]

ahhhhhhhh

fuuuuuck

[meager oar]

yea 😦

[subtle bison]

sorry they are

😦

im in ravenholm and nothing has changed

it might work on old gmod hashes though

[compact blaze]

What ur mom said last night in bed when I saw her

[willow fog]

What happened to the hashes again?

[subtle bison]

dec 9 update changed them all

[willow fog]

Your mom also said that last night. When I FUCKED her

[meager oar]

i have the old rtx conf with old hashes if u want to test

[willow fog]

[subtle bison]

like old hashes enabled?

[willow fog]

damn it, garry

[compact blaze]

Wow so rude what provoked you to make this comment 💔

[willow fog]

Something inside me snapped

[meager oar]

i think cause all the old 32x mods wrk on that conf

[subtle bison]

HOLY SHIT THE SIZE

[meager oar]

yea its only 2 map aswell dayum full game will be much bigger

[subtle bison]

something is definitly different

my game froze loading ravenholm

[compact blaze]

it has to be left over stuff

[willow fog]

You're making me hope

[subtle bison]

im gonna try flatgrass and spawn ravenholm props

[willow fog]

Don't do it, cr

[meager oar]

wait why not use the rtx.conf in hl2 rtx in gmod rtx?

[meager oar]

wow

[subtle bison]

dude i cant even get into flatgrass with this conf lmao

[meager oar]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

hmm weird it was wrking for me before let me try

[subtle bison]

ye the game itself is freezing, my gpu isnt even being used at all

i think we need this

rtx.useObsoleteHashOnTextureUpload = True

[meager oar]

hmm its wrking for me

[subtle bison]

it might be the hl2rtx assets then

[meager oar]

the 64x replacements arnt wrking aswell meaning this conf is using 32x hashes

[subtle bison]

x32 and x64 share the same hashes

even old

we just never used the old system on x64

[meager oar]

oh hmm

[subtle bison]

ye that rtx option was right

all of my new hashes broken

which is good

time to see if ravenholm works

[meager oar]

yay

[subtle bison]

uhh

they load

but uhh

[meager oar]

YES

[subtle bison]

they dont render correctly

[meager oar]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[subtle bison]

ill try the hl2rtx conf file

[meager oar]

hmm i have a idea that i wanna try after i install hl2rtx

[near tartan]

Hl2 RTX in gmod💀

Wow

Honestly

It works better than I thought it would

[subtle bison]

which is not at all

the textures dont properly load

[meager oar]

is thiss wrking?

[subtle bison]

not by default

it doesnt use rtx.useObsoleteHashOnTextureUpload = True so nothing loaded this time

still broken with that set

hashes work but the assets dont load

[meager oar]

dayum i sometimes have this grey textures issue in octatex, writing the mod again fixes it

[subtle bison]

ill try copying the files instead of symlinkig

[willow fog]

Uhm...

Uhhh

What's it called

The quick loading thing?

[subtle bison]

what

[willow fog]

The rtx loading

I don't fucking know man

[subtle bison]

oh rtx io

OH

[willow fog]

The thing that makes assets load wuicker

[subtle bison]

how do we disable that

[willow fog]

Yeah

[willow fog]

I don't think you do

[hushed trail]

I don’t think you can unfortunately. It’s a compression

[subtle bison]

shouldnt it work here in x64?

i dont remember it relying on the bridge

[winter radish]

As an AMD user it’s disabled by default

[onyx ridge]

good god

[near tartan]

It’s only 41

[onyx ridge]

it still requires 82gb free to download

which i do not have and presently i cannot free up

[near tartan]

Which is weird

Some people need over 100 gigs of free storage

It’s weird

[subtle bison]

it is indeed only 30 something gb

[winter radish]

Steamworks requirement for the base game probably

[subtle bison]

i just copied the assets over to gmod

[winter radish]

[near tartan]

Yeah but why would it be that big of a gap, some people need 80 while others need 100+

[winter radish]

[subtle bison]

ok well still broken

its definitely a RTX IO thing

ugh

[hushed trail]

Something about how the builds were managed. It’s using the main branch which used to host the main development files. It’s an artifact.

[onyx ridge]

nvm i just deleted my bonelab mods folder and it freed up 80gb

[near tartan]

Bone lab mods are storage hungry

[onyx ridge]

funny

[near tartan]

And then the folder will be 41

For all of this

Gotta love steam

[winter radish]

Oh wait

I don’t have 80GBs free

[onyx ridge]

anyway wiztree my beloved

it's not quite whatever i use on linux i forgor but it works

[half viper]

@subtle bison copy the hl2 rtx runtime

[onyx ridge]

is hl2 rtx based on the anniversary build or

[winter radish]

Copy the config file

[willow fog]

Another banger idea
@subtle bison take notes, mf

[winter radish]

Isn’t Gmod RTX x64 a custom runtime tho

[onyx ridge]

yeah

[willow fog]

Yes

[onyx ridge]

[willow fog]

I don't think there's much difference

[half viper]

Exactly how i banged your mother
Im still salty about the 2 nickels i spent on her

[winter radish]

[winter radish]

[half viper]

Mf made fun of me for not being able to play hl2rtx

Now i am PISSED

[onyx ridge]

ha

ths nerd can't play hl2 rtx

[winter radish]

You have the minimum tho

[half viper]

If i WERE at my dorms

Im at my family's house

[near tartan]

Minimum system on the page

Steam just lying now

[onyx ridge]

[willow fog]

You may be pissed, but you still can't play Half Life 2 RTX Demo, idiot.

[winter radish]

Point and laugh at them for choosing family guys

[onyx ridge]

[onyx ridge]

should've brought your family to your dorm

Its not like i can refuse they'll fucking disown me lmao

Forced to stay 20 days

[subtle bison]

there is 💀

[onyx ridge]

just harass them into open sourcing their remix build

[hushed trail]

I don’t think the remix build is different, but engine changes are?

Not 100 on that

[winter radish]

It should be something like 1.0.0

[subtle bison]

we use a custom runtime to fix x64 specific bugs

[willow fog]

Happy Ramadan

[winter radish]

Just copy the config file and see if it changes anything

[willow fog]

I'm also fasting rn

[subtle bison]

because we dont have a bridge

[willow fog]

[half viper]

Im not 😎

[subtle bison]

we did, nothing changes

[willow fog]

Yeah me neither

Just ate

Good food

[onyx ridge]

again, does it use the anniversary version of hl2 or is it old™️

[subtle bison]

same stuff as portal prelude rtx at first glance

so sdk 2013 modified

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/bart-simpson-the-simpsons-at-least-you-tried-fail-failure-gif-7859548

All you can do is extract the assets and change it to work for Gmod

[subtle bison]

im trying the hl2rtx runtime rn

[willow fog]

That's skurty's job

[subtle bison]

ok i tried literally everything from hl2rtx

it does not work lol

its just a texture thing btw

[willow fog]

I wonder why the assets aren't loading

[subtle bison]

some enhanced models load

without textures

[meager oar]

i think i can make the textures wrk if i load them into octatex, paste them over the default ravenholm textures and write them. normal, disp and roughness will automatically wrk after that

[drifting hinge]

oh what a dissapointment

[willow fog]

I wonder if they've locked the files down.

[onyx ridge]

so wait is this like

just dragging and dropping hl2 rtx's assets into a gmod remix?

[subtle bison]

4k tree

[subtle bison]

ye i put their mod files in the remix dir and also enabled legacy hashes

[willow fog]

So we have working hashes but a mod that doesn't load?

[onyx ridge]

some things actually have consistent hashes between gmod and hl2?????

[subtle bison]

ye all hashes match except skinned meshes

but texture loading is broken

[onyx ridge]

that is super promising either way

[half viper]

@subtle bison can you show us the logs?

[subtle bison]

sure

[willow fog]

Could it be the new quality settings that they added? It broke stuff for me too

[onyx ridge]

i fully expected that engine stuff would mean everything would have different hashes and it'd take a ton of work to manually remap everything over to gmod

[compact blaze]

Is this ur Minecraft skin doing the face

[onyx ridge]

my figura model doing the face

[subtle bison]

big file btw

[onyx ridge]

[onyx ridge]

big file
3mb

[subtle bison]

for text 💀

[onyx ridge]

i have made a 68gb text file before

i have swallowed bigger text files in my sleep

[compact blaze]

What was inside of it

[onyx ridge]

a spammed repeatedly

like

A lot of times

[compact blaze]

Why

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/conductor-we-have-a-problem-cat-cute-funny-gif-17168115721186324165

[onyx ridge]

insert cave johnson quote here

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet

[onyx ridge]

if hashes are consistent then

[subtle bison]

yes, we said they're a complete match

💀

[onyx ridge]

binary module that allows mounting portal with rtx/hl2 rtx

[drifting hinge]

is it 64 bit

[subtle bison]

so is there no more textureq uality settings

[subtle bison]

hl2rtx is 32-bit

but the hashes match x64 in legacy mode

[drifting hinge]

frick

[onyx ridge]

also i can't wait for all of the hl2 rtx model/texture ports that are gonna show up on the workshop

and probably completely butcher everything because source can't handle the original assets

[half viper]

@subtle bison

[subtle bison]

ya

[onyx ridge]

what is this legacy mode i do not recall hearing of it

[half viper]

"asset data cannot be found or corrupted"

[willow fog]

It is in there. The dynamic loading bs

[subtle bison]

rtx.useObsoleteHashOnTextureUpload = True

old hash system

[onyx ridge]

ahh

[subtle bison]

💀
i matched eveything like it was for hl2rtx

and i verified hl2rtx itself works

its probably RTX IO stuff

[willow fog]

Locked down files?

[onyx ridge]

is there a functional difference between the old/new systems or for end/mid users are they just different hashes for the fun of it

[subtle bison]

the latter so far 😜

[willow fog]

Probably

[half viper]

Can we ask like

David

Or anyone from the team

[willow fog]

Go ahead

[onyx ridge]

david seeing the ping indicator on the thread and shaking his head

"shit not these crackheads again"

[willow fog]

It'll probably be better if we ask a remix dev

[willow fog]

[half viper]

@past notch can we get some help here?

[runic gale]

What if

It's just hashes are being different

wouldn't that make sense?

[subtle bison]

but they arent

otherwise none of them would load

[runic gale]

:\

Gmod map on HL2 RTX.

without enhanced assets

[past notch]

can;t be of helpo right this second beyond saying we use rtxio for the version on steam

[runic gale]

with

[past notch]

you will need to mark rtxio on in the dxvk.conf in Gmod for it to load the packages

[subtle bison]

ah thats it?

[runic gale]

idk how

[winter radish]

I know that map :D

[solemn tendon]

uhh

[runic gale]

yea

[subtle bison]

make sure you have the x64 version of gmod installed

[past notch]

you can extract rtxio packages btw via github, don;t have a link to it right now but that would let you get started with it unpacked if you wanted

[subtle bison]

do you know where i can find the rtxio flag for the rtx.conf?

[solemn tendon]

okay! thx

[past notch]

it's in the dxvk.conf in hl2rtx

[solemn tendon]

i remember that i installed x64 ver but no 😭

[subtle bison]

wow

# enable rtxio
rtx.io.enabled = True

thats literally it

[runic gale]

Lovely Tree,

[winter radish]

I need the HL2 RTX weapons

[onyx ridge]

aren't they animated differently from the originals?

[hushed trail]

Yes

[onyx ridge]

neat

[runic gale]

Might probably have to wait for final Project to be done

[winter radish]

The revolver even produces smoke when shot

[onyx ridge]

ii bet there'll be a workshop addon for it eventually

[meager oar]

are the textures wrking now?

[subtle bison]

failure

it does not

[willow fog]

Damn

What now?

[subtle bison]

we'll have to unpack them like david said

[winter radish]

Repackage them for Gmod

[solemn tendon]

where do i find upscaled textures with pbr?

[meager oar]

modb

[half viper]

Make sure you have enough space lol

[willow fog]

But I don't wanna have extra 35gigs when I can just make a symlink

[subtle bison]

yea i do

yea no luck, using hl2rtx rtx.conf, dxvk.conf, and runtime build lol

still not loading for god knows why

tried googling rtx io unpacking utilities and i cannot find it 😭

[winter radish]

[onyx ridge]

when you find it implement it into the binary module

and add the ability to mount portal with rtx and hl2 rtx

[subtle bison]

binary module this, binary module that, how about
HOW IS THE BINARY MODULE? /s

[onyx ridge]

make a binary module that makes the binary module for you

[subtle bison]

[winter radish]

Don’t forget Portal 2 with RTX

[onyx ridge]

i will forever be holding out hope for gmod actually getting portal entities

instead of relying on jank addon based stuff

[subtle bison]

rubat added some

in x64

like the floor rpg turret thing

[onyx ridge]

i mean like

prop_portal

and linked_portal_door

imagine the fucking shenanigans map makers would get up to with that

GARRY

[half viper]

@subtle bison in the dxvk github

There is the python script

Afair

It was mentioned earlier here in the server

[subtle bison]

think i found it

IT WORKS

[onyx ridge]

me bored

here's a lazy plastic texture remake in blender

[meager oar]

cool

[subtle bison]

i can only extract the 1st archive for whatever reason

maybe im using it wrong

the others fail

[hushed trail]

Did you buy the dlc to unlock the other archives

[solemn tendon]

how much fps can i get on rtx 3060

[hasty sonnet]

i thought that shit came built in

[subtle bison]

just try it out and see, it varies for everyone

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison why did nobody else make PBR blood?

[subtle bison]

idk

[hasty sonnet]

this is some bs

i thought this was in the minds of other people

[subtle bison]

@half viper was there any neuance to extracting these rtxio files? (talking about my issue above)

[solemn tendon]

i get just like 45 fps on medium preset with dlss balanced💀

[hasty sonnet]

other mf's gotta copy my idea and make pbr for blood but for other mods

[hasty sonnet]

Claps

i got atleast above 60fps

[solemn tendon]

ig i did smth wrong cuz im on gm construct

[subtle bison]

i mean it really depends on a lot of factors for performance so its not really black and white

[solemn tendon]

and ehh

[subtle bison]

i have to use DLSS ultra performance to get above 60fps on my rtx 2080 at 1080p lol

[solemn tendon]

i turned off every apps

[hasty sonnet]

use 480p

[subtle bison]

there is no way to magically get better performance, this is a path traced game, so 45fps with dlss balanced @ 1080p sounds perfectly fine to me

[half viper]

I haven't tried anything

Im pretty sure it was mentioned earlier in the server

[subtle bison]

i couldnt find anything in the discord search

[solemn tendon]

15 fps on full resolution ultra

[hasty sonnet]

how do you guys get a fps monitor

[solemn tendon]

net_graph 1

[subtle bison]

net_graph 1

[hasty sonnet]

ill just use ALT + R

[solemn tendon]

why this looks so weird😭

[hasty sonnet]

nvm it doesnt work

[subtle bison]

its almost as if we're path tracing everything and using a spatial upscaler 🙀

the horrors 🙀

[hasty sonnet]

30 FPS

looks like 60 cuz of frame generation prob

[spice path]

are you guys using the runtime from hl2rtx or your own versions?

[subtle bison]

gmod uses its own but the hl2rtx version provides no benefits

[spice path]

i tried both the latest runtime and the one from hl2rtx and i cant seem to get it working on day of defeat source

[solemn tendon]

why your game looks better😭

[hasty sonnet]

i got 4060ti

and i use ReStir

[solemn tendon]

i mean uhh

mine looks ass

[hasty sonnet]

i do have enhanced assets on

[solemn tendon]

how to

[subtle bison]

mopped floors = higher perceived quality 🙀 🙀 🙀 🙀 🙀

[solemn tendon]

😭

[subtle bison]

the only enhanced assets included is water

[solemn tendon]

so enhanced

[half viper]

#general-remix message

[subtle bison]

ye i already got that far

the actual tool itself fails to extract anything after the 1st archive

[hasty sonnet]

no you need a enhancement downloaded

[hasty sonnet]

before

after

the parallax mapping is crazy

[solemn tendon]

i dont want to play super blurry 15 fps gmod just for rt shadows😭

[hasty sonnet]

suprisingly coming from the guy who has a shat gpu

want rtx?

bring out your wallet

that old boomer PC wont cut it

[solemn tendon]

😔

like uhh i can use lossless scalling but for what, i can play normal gmod without rt shadows like in 500+ fps😭

[near tartan]

Nah you got rt water too

[solemn tendon]

wow

[solemn tendon]

with 1 second latency

[subtle bison]

dude he has a better gpu than i do 💀

[solemn tendon]

why that looks so cool😔

[compact blaze]

tell mr @willow fog

[willow fog]

Eh

[hasty sonnet]

the difference is

you have the knowledge to code it but not the power

i have the power not the knowledge

we are 2 different beings

[subtle bison]

nah this has nothing to do with it, people just need to temper their expectations of performance

there is no way in hell a path traced game will ever run as good as something rasterized

[solemn tendon]

does this guy has rtx 5090😭

[subtle bison]

no

he said 4060 ti

but to be fair you're trying to run it at full res or balanced, just set it to DLSS performance and move on

[willow fog]

Is Garry modding yet?

[subtle bison]

no the rtxio extractor shits itself trying to extract anything other than the 1st file

[willow fog]

I have a 4090

[willow fog]

[solemn tendon]

[solemn tendon]

i love gmod textures

[solemn tendon]

how

[meager oar]

🥺

[solemn tendon]

i have 12 gigs of video memory😎🤑

[meager oar]

wch gpu u hav?

[solemn tendon]

ig ill have 2 fps in hl2 rtx

[solemn tendon]

3060

[meager oar]

nah yours better in perf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebfm8DPhQnU

[subtle bison]

i dont even have a super

also they have a 3060 ti

[meager oar]

wait wat i thought u had a 2080 super dayum

[subtle bison]

im pretty sure theirs beats mine

naw

[meager oar]

nah he has a 3060 12gb

dayum both of your gpus are equal

[subtle bison]

minus 4gb of vram for me 🙂

[solemn tendon]

no

3060

[meager oar]

yea 3060 still superior 😅 that thing is superior then the 3070 and 3080 in indiana jones due to that 12gb vram

[solemn tendon]

peak gmod

[subtle bison]

most addons precache textures

[subtle bison]

what works so far from the 1st file

mostly stuff from point insertion of all things

[winter radish]

Let him cook

[subtle bison]

it would work better if i could extract the rest 💀

[solemn tendon]

your gmod still looks better

[subtle bison]

ugh

[hollow marten]

So, how are things going with GMOD?

When will it be possible to play normally?

[solemn tendon]

bad

[meager oar]

its probably the post processing settings

[subtle bison]

now

[hollow marten]

Why is that?

[solemn tendon]

idk

[subtle bison]

they're just having a bad 1st impression i think lol

[subtle bison]

its not, im using the default settings that comes from the latest compat mod release

so nova should be getting the same results as me

[solemn tendon]

yeahhhh

but ngl that looks cool

[hollow marten]

Is it not possible to play like this yet?

[solemn tendon]

but i hate this blur nsfw like dlss😭

[solemn tendon]

its possible

[subtle bison]

yes the guide is pinned

[solemn tendon]

uuhuhhhhhhh

[hollow marten]

I would like to shoot machinims in GMOD with RTX REMIX

[solemn tendon]

smooth

[hollow marten]

Shit, but the graphics are cool.

[hollow marten]

Do you think it will work?

[subtle bison]

if you have a lot of characters, eye rendering does not work still, it would take engine modifications for them to work

[solemn tendon]

im feeling like playing sonic 3 with smooth pixel filter

[hollow marten]

In short, it is clear

[solemn tendon]

herobrine

[willow fog]

Scary

[subtle bison]

ye this issue will be very hard to fix lol

source literally does not have any fixed function rendering techniques for eyes anymore

they got removed a long time ago

so we'd have to make our own system

FINALLY

ONE HL2RTX ASSET WITH TEXTURES

[meager oar]

da heck

[solemn tendon]

woah

[subtle bison]

if only the stupid extractor worked for everything else

[solemn tendon]

that looks like 2 fps on my pc

[subtle bison]

wtf

they re-did the grafiti

[near tartan]

Discord bug

It happens sometimes

Only when I watch CR’s clips

It’s weird

[solemn tendon]

i mean

uhh

if i will use this textures

ill get 2 fps

[near tartan]

Spray paint working

[subtle bison]

i fixed this by going back to h264

holy shit the leaves

holy fucking shit

[near tartan]

Now how would I fix this on mobile 🤔

[near tartan]

Is it that magical

[half viper]

@subtle bison can we mention an employee about the packaging

[onyx ridge]

this

this

this is

is

this is

un

this is un

beleaf

able

[subtle bison]

please

i want to get everything working so bad

[half viper]

Whos responsible for it?

[subtle bison]

i have no idea

[half viper]

Hey @hallow wasp do you know who is responsible for RTX io packaging?

We are trying to unpack the hl2 rtx assets

[near tartan]

It’s so beautiful

[solemn tendon]

https://streamable.com/uyaut8

[subtle bison]

its a source engine bug

you'll have to ignore the texture in the runtime or relaunch the game

[solemn tendon]

okay thx

minimum settings 1600x900

i got like 15 fps on ultra without dlss

[runic gale]

wowee

[subtle bison]

the only gpu capable of running remix at native res would be a 4090 or 5090 lol

[solemn tendon]

wow

[solemn tendon]

6090

[subtle bison]

parallax so strong im waiting for the bricks to fall out

[solemn tendon]

lol

https://streamable.com/ke845p super playable

[keen rivet]

there's an rtxio extractor?

[subtle bison]

ye

part of dxvk-remix's repo

[earnest yew]

is there leftover assets from other levels?

actually nvm since we dont know

[subtle bison]

there are

scroll up

point insertion has a lot of stuff done

[willow fog]

Guys

Guys

I'm gonna hang out here for the next few days

Too many new people in general

[earnest yew]

gmod is the second general

[willow fog]

yes

[half viper]

Why am i the OP
I've done nothing for yall

[analog bane]

has latest update for gmod rtx for x64 fixed annoying shadow flickering?

and disappearing obiects?

[subtle bison]

shadow flickering?
as for disappearing objects, i assume you mean culling?

[analog bane]

yes

i got shadow flickering in many maps

[earnest yew]

sick pfp

[analog bane]

so annoying i just gave up

[lament quartz]

weird

[analog bane]

thank you

[subtle bison]

this map probably uses a weird material that causes remix to lose the camera

[lament quartz]

is there any fix or not really

[subtle bison]

potentially, but i havent found the cause yet, what's the map

[lament quartz]

atmospheric house

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3109831894&searchtext=atmospheric+apartment

[subtle bison]

oh no a atmospheric map

[compact blaze]

They made a new one?

[lament quartz]

idk

[subtle bison]

maybe you can demonstrate it? still not sure what you mean

[compact blaze]

I mean like is that done by the atmospheric house dev

[lament quartz]

idk

[subtle bison]

doesnt seem to be no

atmospheric house is also HDR only so fat chance it works in remix

[lament quartz]

e unniest part is that it didnt work until a recent update

[lament quartz]

it works

[subtle bison]

huh

i assume models and stuff dont render though

[lament quartz]

mmno it renders

[subtle bison]

because mat_fullbright is forced

[compact blaze]

LETS GOOOO

[lament quartz]

[subtle bison]

did they add SDR then?

[lament quartz]

not to my knowledge

[subtle bison]

hmm ill try it

[compact blaze]

Wait are u talking about gmod or atmospheric house

[lament quartz]

it did have two mirrors tho

[subtle bison]

they should get automatically removed on map load

[analog bane]

it's stuff like, walking away from light source and seeing shadows immediately disappear at random moment

[subtle bison]

ye thats culling in general, you can control how far away that happens but it will hurt performance

[analog bane]

i hope that got fixed a bit, any settings different from default ruined my performance

[subtle bison]

disabling culling outright would fix it but we dont have the patches for it, and even if we did, it would destroy performance on a lot of maps

[analog bane]

damn, still many problems i see

[subtle bison]

most of the stuff you're looking at is unmarked decal textures

you have to do those yourself

[subtle bison]

my game crashes in shaderapidx9 loading atmospherichouse, so its the ususal HDR map issues

[analog bane]

yup, it worked

thanks

[lament quartz]

huh

[subtle bison]

you probably have an older version of the game

[lament quartz]

prolly do

[analog bane]

still dunno how to deal with this without destroying framerate

if possible

[subtle bison]

can you run version in the console and send me the output

[lament quartz]

i should reompile the map to be sdr

[subtle bison]

ty

also if you can, zip up shaderapidx9.dll and materialsystem.dll in win64 and send me those in DMs?
I might need to update our patches for newer gmod versions to fix the crashes

found something in my remix logs running atmospheric apartment

[12:10:59.465] info:  [RTX-Compatibility-Info] Found a draw call to a non-primary, non-raytraced render target. Falling back to rasterization
[12:10:59.628] info:  [RTX-Compatibility-Info] Use of texture transform element counts beyond 2 is not supported in Remix yet (and thus will be clamped to 2 elements).
[12:10:59.628] info:  [RTX-Compatibility-Info] Use of projected texture transform detected, but it's not supported in Remix yet.

[lament quartz]

oo

[analog bane]

\

everyone else also have to play like this?

[subtle bison]

unless that map exclusively uses displacements, it looks like the meshed world renderer addon isnt running

check your Problems button in the game menu

you should have some lua errors

[lament quartz]

done

[subtle bison]

ty

[analog bane]

i forgot to get addon pack, silly me

holy shiet, that worked beautifully

now, where i can get those sweet enchanced materials?

[subtle bison]

most are on moddb or scattered here, but keep in mind they were made for older versions of gmod and their hashes no longer work

[analog bane]

😭

[subtle bison]

so you'll have to make your own mostly

[analog bane]

i clicked reset settings under material options

[subtle bison]

i wouldnt do that

[analog bane]

cuz i changed some settings

[subtle bison]

it resets remix entirely

[analog bane]

how to get back old settings

[subtle bison]

if you didnt press save, just reopen the game

[analog bane]

it worked, thank you

goddamn i cant believe it

the new version fixed all my previous problems

its actually usable

goldencity works completely fine

i love this

[subtle bison]

i really feel like making an installer now

[analog bane]

can i create a fog around map so map edges dont look so rough?

[subtle bison]

you can probably emulate it with volumetrics but i wouldnt know the specifc settings
also try r_3dsky 1 if the map has a 3d skybox

they work now but they can be buggy

the game warns you as well

[analog bane]

niiiice

how have it gotten so good in matter of 2 months

[subtle bison]

blood sweat and tears /s

[earnest yew]

mostly blood

[analog bane]

Their sacrifice shall not be forgotten

[lament quartz]

@subtle bison I updated and all the models did go away

[subtle bison]

like latest version of the game?

[lament quartz]

latest version of the game and remix yeah i think

by remix i mean your mod sorry

would compiling the map to sdr fix the models dissapearing?

[subtle bison]

yea

since models require light to be rendered, they dont show in HDR-only maps

[subtle bison]

how is your game not crashing loading HDR maps 💀

[lament quartz]

I dunno

[subtle bison]

source engine be like

def wanna find a way to replace all mirror entities with this material 🤤

[lament quartz]

where are subscribbed items located for gmod again

[earnest yew]

subscribed

[lament quartz]

i meant in folder

[earnest yew]

i was just correcting you

[subtle bison]

steamapps/workshop/4000

for modern gmod

[lament quartz]

I'm throwing you into an active volcano

[turbid barn]

wait

does HL2 RTX uses something different than DXVK?

because gmod/portal RTX are using Vulcan, while afterburned detects HL2-Rtx as Dx12

[hushed trail]

No it's still vulcan

[subtle bison]

its a bug with the nv driver iirc

[onyx ridge]

obtained substance designer and i am now making a more faithful plastic texture

[lament quartz]

well shit

[onyx ridge]

okay diffuse miight have slightly more blurry edges than should be

[lament quartz]

i want to continue the atmospherichouse decompiling but i have to focus on rtcw so weh unless theres an easy model and texture fix in hammer @subtle bison that i dont know of 😭

[willow fog]

aight

What's the status?

[subtle bison]

mark is looking into the rtxio issues

i most likely need to make a github issue

[willow fog]

hm

[lament quartz]

gm_placetobleedout 😍

[subtle bison]

i remember this map being stupid buggy the 1st time i tried it

works good now im assuming?

also looks great

[subtle bison]

definitely wallpaper engine worthy

[lament quartz]

how do i get fallback light to work it always just flat out crashes for me, more than other games

[subtle bison]

its known to be buggy

there is even a warning in remix itself lol

i never had good luck with it even on x32

[glass plinth]

how easy would it be to port the hl2rtx textures to gmod? has work already been started on that

[subtle bison]

difficult so far, rtxio isnt working on x64 so all textures are blank

we're in the process of extracting them but we hit an issue with the rtxio extractor and a github issue will be made

#github-updates message

wow im gonna have to ship a new runtime if they keep fixing stuff 🔥

[turbid barn]

hm

[onyx ridge]

do that pleasds

[subtle bison]

hmm this isnt gmod

[turbid barn]

i've noticed that HL2RTX uses all threads

[onyx ridge]

🥺

[subtle bison]

maybe in another week, i want to see if they do more NRC stuff

[turbid barn]

while default half life 2 uses 2-3 threads

[onyx ridge]

also this is probably a non-viable thing for me to do given how long this simple thing took me

but i would love to try substance design-ing as many of gmod's own textures as i can

[subtle bison]

bu-but, gmod building materials pack?

[turbid barn]

So is there any way to get full multi-thread support on regular HL2/Gmod? Or it's just a remix feature?

[subtle bison]

we could include it in the compat mod

[willow fog]

Are you sure it doesn't work?

[subtle bison]

gmod is already multithreaded

[onyx ridge]

a lot of the hl2 textures'll be available from hl2 rtx so it'd be good to have a gmod kit to complete the set

[onyx ridge]

[subtle bison]

dont tell me it "just works" for you

[turbid barn]

Hm, i've didnt checked. I just know that HL2 has "multi-thread" settings and it makes game use 3 threads instead of 1

[onyx ridge]

my problem is the adhd and perfectionism in me

[turbid barn]

so i thinked gmod one does the same

[subtle bison]

gmod has its own thing

[subtle bison]

gmod_mcore_test 1

its on by default

[onyx ridge]

i might have taken a while on the plastic because i'm just learning substance but for more complex stuff like the metal textures i'll probably take even longer either way

[willow fog]

Let me see if it's something else

[turbid barn]

Btw, ARC9 settings says that it's turned off. It's a bug?

[onyx ridge]

(also no way in hell am i doing wood by hand i'm just gonna upscale it)

[subtle bison]

yes

[turbid barn]

it also says that gmod works on old DX8 (because of Vulcan)

[onyx ridge]

it is VULKAN you NERD

[willow fog]

Nevermind

[subtle bison]

we force dx9 but arc9 probably detects shader support which we dont have

[willow fog]

False postitive y'all

[willow fog]

me

[onyx ridge]

also when doing 'remaster' things i like being as faithful to the original visuals as i can

i'll try and match stuff down to the pixel

[willow fog]

Amazing

[vocal basin]

why hl2 rtx assets don't work in gmod?

[subtle bison]

scroll up

#1116089843479498782 message

they will work eventually since the hashes match

also speaking of hashes

do we just go back to the old system anyway

[onyx ridge]

hash browns

😋

(i don't think i've ever had hash browns)

[vocal basin]

thanks

[willow fog]

Can confirm, it's fucked

[subtle bison]

like if nvidia never removes the old hash upload system, we get the best of both worlds:

1. hl2rtx assets
2. all of the already created mods on moddb

[onyx ridge]

but the new assets,,,,

🥺

[subtle bison]

ok i guess then we can just tell people to use the rtx.conf flag for hl2rtx stuff

[subtle bison]

or we port it all to the new system

[onyx ridge]

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/conductor-we-have-a-problem-cat-cute-funny-gif-17168115721186324165

[willow fog]

I say we go the porting route because skurty loves to do things

[subtle bison]

ye ig

i just dont wanna reingest all of these hl2 assets from scratch

😭

they already work

[compact blaze]

pls does anyone know how to work with these files in remix after creating a project from an existing mod file 💔

trying to get stuff working with the hl2 rtx assets

[willow fog]

You don't have to reingest anything

[subtle bison]

we already been trying

they're packed rtxio files, the extractor is currently broken so we cant do much atm

i told mark i'd make a github issue about it

[compact blaze]

wow so the editor can't work with em yet?

[willow fog]

nope

[onyx ridge]

said the person posting white world screenshots earlier

[subtle bison]

i meant the hashes work

just not the textures

[onyx ridge]

also i loved seeing the bsoda cans in hl2rtx

i immediately went

(they're from remade assets)

[willow fog]

wojess

Keep My Name Out Of Your Mouth

[onyx ridge]

gonna include procedural glass in my newly christened GarryRTX because it's so fucking cool i think it should be default

also i'm just lazy and don't want to make a mod for a single material replacement

[earnest yew]

any update on the .pkg extractore

🤓

[subtle bison]

no because the rtxio team will have to look at my github issue

so its prob gonna be a few days

[earnest yew]

damn

is the .pkg thing a hl2rtx only feature

[subtle bison]

prelude rtx as well

but no one really touched those assets lol

[earnest yew]

10 foot pole

[lament quartz]

isnt there a command like obsolete hash or something or am i geeking

[subtle bison]

yes, thats what allowed hl2rtx hashes to work in gmod

i posted it here earlier today

[lament quartz]

ah but there still broken because of rtxio?

[subtle bison]

ye

[earnest yew]

cr

[subtle bison]

i was able to extract the 1st mod archive which had point insertion assets, which worked

[earnest yew]

do you mind sending the .exe extract in dms

[subtle bison]

ye i dont think its a huge deal

[earnest yew]

im too lazy to compile it atm

[lament quartz]

its funny because it does the same thing in the demo sadly

unless

[earnest yew]

the program shits the bed lmao

[onyx ridge]

hell yeah

[subtle bison]

we demand

the files

[earnest yew]

Give ME IT NOW!!!!

[compact blaze]

Did you create pbr for the primitive shapes?

[onyx ridge]

currently haveing dinner gimme a bit

[onyx ridge]

it's the built in plastic material

(which the primitive shapes do use yeah)

[earnest yew]

its weird how the materials are just grey

even though the textures are there

[subtle bison]

they're most likely replaced in the usda, but the textures arent present

[lapis delta]

EVIL...

[earnest yew]

i wonder how good/bad these models and materials will look when people port them back to source
id assume good but

[turbid barn]

hope everything will be zaebis' and we will get hl2rtx assets working in gmod
