Garry's Mod

[onyx ridge]

also also lamp fix when

[subtle bison]

doesnt appear to

at least for me

grigori gets replaced but thats with a replace source engine model

[meager oar]

Uff still have to use nemez combines I guess

[subtle bison]

the abyss stares back

i found the xenthio room

[meager oar]

What about Portal rtx textures do they work now?

[subtle bison]

you're doxxed buddy @keen rivet

🤭

[subtle bison]

ill try em

[keen rivet]

I UNDERSTAND WHY!

[meager oar]

WHY

[keen rivet]

frustum override lags because it affects whether or not entities are networked

[subtle bison]

no luck

but for all i know my portal rtx install could be bugged

anyways i gotta run

[onyx ridge]

[subtle bison]

hu

[keen rivet]

yeah, you're adding every entity to the network list constantly

[subtle bison]

we sure its not related to me overloading cutlinkedlist?

because that also happens

[subtle bison]

i assume this is related to me creating clientside entities for anything with modified render bounds

[keen rivet]

why are you creating CS ents

[subtle bison]

its a hack to fix objects with wonky render bounds from culling in front of the player

so we render them on top of the existing engine ones

its awful i know

🥹

i dont know a better way to fix that other than what I've done so feel free to call me out on any atrocities or bullshit

i get it lmao

[onyx ridge]

this is probably going to be the most involved texture i've done so far

[keen rivet]

went down the culling patch rabbit hole

[subtle bison]

[willow fog]

Ok so

What happened

[keen rivet]

alright going to bed now

thats enough tinkering for the day

[willow fog]

So

[keen rivet]

try to play and break the launcher and ping me so i wake up with 99999999 new things to fix

[willow fog]

What happened

[keen rivet]

what do you mean

[willow fog]

Like

In the last 8 ish hours

[runic gale]

lots of shit to do

[lament quartz]

Ad 1920x1200 as a default I beg of you 🙏

[keen rivet]

Ok just for you I'll get out of bed and do it

Does custom resolution not work tho

[lament quartz]

I didn't mean immediately

[runic gale]

What about Widescreen Resoulations?

[lament quartz]

No, discord fucks it up and covers the entire text part

With "stream games like this to your friends on discord"

And literally nothing on activity privacy fixes it lmao

But again no rush bruddah sleep n stuff stay in bed rest

[lament quartz]

Oka, thanks

[keen rivet]

Back to bed I go

[quasi blaze]

Goodnight btw

[keen rivet]

What about them

[keen rivet]

Honestly old hash system and content mounting is big enough to consider a new release, do you think you could put one of those together @subtle bison?

[subtle bison]

I still need to address some bugs users reported but i can probably push something within a few days

[runic gale]

neat

[serene geyser]

i wonder if this is gonna be like an addon for Garrys mod like from the shop like HL2 RTX

[earnest yew]

bro wtf did xenthio do

i went to bed for like

8 hours

[keen rivet]

Wtf did I do!?

[earnest yew]

how do i mount shit

me want

[keen rivet]

Use the new launcher in the repo

[earnest yew]

woo hoo!

[serene geyser]

ima do some funky stuff

with lighting

[onyx ridge]

wip

[runic gale]

what's that

[onyx ridge]

the weird metalset material

[runic gale]

for

[onyx ridge]

the gmod one

built in

[runic gale]

name?

[onyx ridge]

trying to remake as many of gmod's built in materials as i can since we have hl2 rtx

[runic gale]

or what prop

it used

[onyx ridge]

uuuhh i think the tower prop uses it

iirc it's in the material tool's list too

[runic gale]

this?

[meager oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1AMBflYKO8

[runic gale]

num num upscalled

[willow fog]

So uh

Is xenthio asleep?

[onyx ridge]

pretty sure yeah

[willow fog]

Damn

[earnest yew]

he prolly JUST went to sleep LMAO

[willow fog]

So does the mount button just work?

With all other addons

And remix mods

[earnest yew]

i think

[willow fog]

What did he do

[meager oar]

seems to wrk #1116089843479498782 message

portal rtx still not wrking though for CR

[earnest yew]

cr how do we get the launcher to work?

[subtle bison]

gmod will load the rtxio files ootb if you only have the one mod folder in rtx-remix/mods

[earnest yew]

wtf

[subtle bison]

so as far as i know, it breaks other things but ill test it when i can

xenthio also wants to enforce the old hash system, so this means starting over from scratch for any mods

🥹

[earnest yew]

so portal and hl2 work now?

if we put both in the folder

[meager oar]

yay all old mods got revived

[runic gale]

@earnest yew so uhhhh.

[subtle bison]

you dont need to, the launcher automatically finds the games and symlinks them

[earnest yew]

dubssss

[subtle bison]

i don't really want to push the new launcher atm as i have some concerns but its definitely a next release thing

[earnest yew]

what

[runic gale]

that is?

yea

[earnest yew]

crunchy

[meager oar]

dirty stains

[runic gale]

[earnest yew]

looks like leather lol

[runic gale]

Matte Settings

Shiny Settings.

[earnest yew]

looks like a texture from doom 3

[willow fog]

Well that's stupid

[willow fog]

Snake pen15

[subtle bison]

yes it is

[willow fog]

Made a gh issue report yet?

[subtle bison]

not yet, im running on 1 hour of sleep so i probably wont get to it today

[onyx ridge]

better yet

figure out why, fix it

make a pr

[willow fog]

[runic gale]

can you just make a shortcut to files?

rather just copy and pasting the files onto mods folder

[subtle bison]

thats what the new launcher does, but it still has to be one folder only it seems

ill keep messing with it and keep the thread updated

[onyx ridge]

current new metalset diffuse

(bear in mind it's supposed to lack shading so the other textures can make up for it)

[willow fog]

I do know what an albaedo is

Thx

[earnest yew]

any idea why some props still dont replace?

seems a bit fucked with the launcher lol

wtf is happening

[willow fog]

Whar

[half viper]

Man hacks show up in nova prospekt

Idk about the scanners

[runic gale]

hl:a model

so yeah

[subtle bison]

now

[onyx ridge]

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet your new light updater code, lua prop hash fixes, and r_cullbox patches is what's causing the perf issues, its not my fvf addon most scenarios
1st pic is that code commented out, 2nd is with all of them enabled (same exact pos with setpos) - (fvf is completely commented out)

in comparison, this is with the old light updater code + fvf pvs
1st pic is with both disabled, 2nd is with both enabled

[subtle bison]

the new lightupdaters/prop hashes is what really kills performance

💀

i also ensured the culling patches were active on my end, but i still get lots of culling issues despite lower performance compared to fvf

[onyx ridge]

mmmabe could do with more noise

[subtle bison]

here is another area
1st pic is old light updaters + fvf pvs, second is the new systems

[subtle bison]

though the new system is faster in maps where we run into the cutlinkedlist bottleneck

like that one pool map

gm_pool_complex_v2

[potent agate]

exactly how I remember it

the field of errors

and yes I did do the pinned process for the porting of assets

[meager oar]

revisiting old mods again since we gonna be using old hashes from now on

3d sky

[compact blaze]

How did u get that flat sand?

[meager oar]

map or the mod?

[compact blaze]

Like the sign sry for not mentioning

[meager oar]

its part of the map in 3dskybox

r_3dsky 1

[compact blaze]

So was there like a flat sand map that u just updated thru remix

[meager oar]

nope this is the old one

[compact blaze]

Sry lemme just roll back rq, did you add that flat sand sign through remix or was it already there

[meager oar]

it was already there

[compact blaze]

Ah ok

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/look-what-you-did-look-explosion-disappointed-gif-4998468032437154320

not sure why remix breaks the particle like this lmao

[quiet scroll]

Wait waaaaat yall switched to old hashes?

[subtle bison]

hl2rtx forced our hands

[quiet scroll]

Ahhhhhhhh, oh skibidi, yep my hand is also forced, what it issssss old hashes

[onyx ridge]

are they set to be particle textures

also there is another

[subtle bison]

yea, i might have messed up something in the vmt or pcf when fixing particles way back

[onyx ridge]

also getting better at organising my node layouts

[keen rivet]

Good morning!!

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet pls read my findings i @'ed you earlier 🙂

[keen rivet]

Oh I forgot nova prospekt was In The demo lmao

[keen rivet]

Is is r_forcenovis 1, or c_frustumcull 0 that causes the perf issues

[subtle bison]

? we dont have access to either in gmod

nothing in my game was changed other than what was already mentioned

[keen rivet]

I added them

[subtle bison]

so what about the new lightupdater system, that was by far the heaviest thing

commenting prop hashes and that made the fps skyrocket

[keen rivet]

Hmm, that performs better than the old one for me

By a lot

[subtle bison]

i have modified the old one a lot, are we comparing from the same place?

[keen rivet]

That's strange

[subtle bison]

there is the perforpus screenshot i sent

it was using 1000ms lmao

on gm_voidplaces

[keen rivet]

Wtf

[subtle bison]

i can get the numbers for my modified one lol

one sec

if you want direct comparisons on your side, i have another branch on my fork with the up to date changes

https://github.com/sambow23/gmod-rtx-binary/tree/oldsystems

i also disabled the binary module model stuff as it was spamming the console

[keen rivet]

It must break down too much with high light counts maybe

Maybe you could modify the new one to be more optimised

[subtle bison]

ye if u want, what does the new one offer tho

[keen rivet]

Because it doesn't create 300 entities and that's great

[subtle bison]

yea that would help with the cutlinkedlist stuff

[keen rivet]

It also updates faster

It performs better in gm_construct

By like 30 fps or something last I checked

[subtle bison]

the issue is getting it to run well on every map, thats why i spent a lot of time optimizing the old one, as well as you can for 300+ entities

but yea ill take a look

i can grab more perf data as well

voidplaces and voidmall are a good stresstest for all of our addons lol

so with the culling patches, i should be noticing a difference ootb without changing the cvars correct?

nvm i guess ill find out again

[keen rivet]

I'm noticing physics props don't pop out when I change c_frustumcull

[subtle bison]

what about static map props?

[keen rivet]

Still fucked

[subtle bison]

ah

[keen rivet]

I need to look those over

[subtle bison]

so if we're still intending to release something, are you ok with pushing the new launcher but the old systems for now (fvf, lightupdaters, etc)? we can still include the model stuff from the binary module

[keen rivet]

Yeah

[subtle bison]

cool

[keen rivet]

I just want launcher and old hashes out there

[subtle bison]

yeah easy peasy

will probably need to play through a bunch of maps to rebuild marked textures

i dont have my old 32-bit install anymore

unless there are some people here willing to share their rtx.conf's?

[keen rivet]

I've got a giant 32bit conf

[subtle bison]

i can merge them all into one place

[keen rivet]

lots of decal textures

[subtle bison]

my new hashes conf 🥹

82kb

massive

[keen rivet]

i'll go through and mark a bunch of shit for you

[subtle bison]

if you want, its hard to get everything since everyone does different stuff with this game lmao

ill see if i have a backup or a another copy of my 32-bit conf when i can, maybe i have some i can contribute

@quiet scroll @meager oar ik yall did lots of 32-bit stuff, yall still have your rtx.confs?

we're gonna make a mega rtx.conf

[keen rivet]

i had a 200kb one

i lost it

[subtle bison]

do we need this?

i thought we went full embracing CEF

[keen rivet]

can probably move it to advanced

it was just for testing

i was matching up all the options from my launch configs

[subtle bison]

ah ok

[subtle bison]

the glorious fucks

lmao

[quiet scroll]

I do! I’ll find it when I get home. Does this mean we gotta go back to 32bit?

[subtle bison]

nah, x64 shares the same hashes as x32

[willow fog]

NO

[subtle bison]

even on the old system

so your x32 conf will work here

[quiet scroll]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-gif-10341555270454130792

Thank fuck

[willow fog]

You know what?

If it means we get hl2 assets for free

I'm willing to redo my mod a third time

[subtle bison]

your 1st time should work lol

since it was made for the old system

[willow fog]

Minus the additional work, yes

I have done more after I redid

But yes

[subtle bison]

man i cant wait to re-add all of my 32-bit mods i made

[willow fog]

Just because there's another really big mod that I made on 32bit and didn't have the energy to port it over

[keen rivet]

yeah i had a 200gb mod for 32bit

[keen rivet]

4000 textures

[willow fog]

ai generated

[keen rivet]

8000 actually

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet btw do we still need to worry about multiple mod folders when mounting hl2rtx, you said it breaks rtxio loading

[keen rivet]

yeah and upscaled

[keen rivet]

i think so

[subtle bison]

rip

[keen rivet]

i mean unless it was fixed

[subtle bison]

no i just wanted to confirm

[willow fog]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381341883454062603/1143768916401860658/ai_generated.gif

Mine was hand made

[keen rivet]

im not hand making 8000 textures

[subtle bison]

yea i did a lot of the gmod building materials from scratch

[keen rivet]

i'm a programmer, ai generated is basically hand made for me

[quiet scroll]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-mocking-chicken-trending-meme-gif-8617355

mINE wAs hAnDmAdE

[willow fog]

Ok ai bro

Go touch a pencil

I know it's scary

[quiet scroll]

Yeah and it took ya a million years to make it

[willow fog]

But trust me, it won't hurt

[subtle bison]

i think AI is ok as a base to build on in something like substance but generally i dont like how AI PBR upscalers look, except for pbrfusion 3 mostly

[jade edge]

if it looks good, it looks good, no matter the way its done

[subtle bison]

but i would still only use the albedo, making stuff from scratch is fun (for me)

[willow fog]

That's my main issue

[keen rivet]

oh mine was ALEX's custom model and script

[quiet scroll]

Yeah I agree, ai everything as a base and then go in and replace what can be with handmade textures. Ambientcg’s my favorite

[willow fog]

I wouldn't do anything by hand if it looked good

[keen rivet]

for rtx remix

[subtle bison]

octotex was peak

imagine using the flux model with it

[keen rivet]

is there any other remix games on steam?

[willow fog]

nope

[subtle bison]

nada

[meager oar]

I have it

[meager oar]

still use it 😅 but i make it a mix of polyhaven + ai, i do the roughness map on my own though but still basic

[keen rivet]

i trimmed it just to texture hashes

[subtle bison]

very excited to merge these 😈

cooking up a script to do it all automatically and remove any duplicates

[keen rivet]

i think this config crashes my game tho lmao

[meager oar]

dayum idk why my conf crashes for others but wrks for me

[meager oar]

was crashing for CR and a friend of mine aswell

[subtle bison]

hu i dont remember using this conf

how long ago was this

[compact blaze]

What was ur mod btw?

[meager oar]

when u were testing to see if hl2 assets wrked in old hashes

[subtle bison]

oh maybe i have dementia

[willow fog]

Map. gm_shootingrange

I think

[keen rivet]

I'm just gonna start making a new config from scratch

[willow fog]

I suggest starting with the hl2 config

Most particles and decals will match

And the visuals are also tuned to look very clean

[subtle bison]

did they even tag anything

i forgor

[willow fog]

Yes

[meager oar]

wait what about the rtx conf in Xenthos old tutorial vid? i think he shared it in the description?

[keen rivet]

WHY IS MY GAME CRASHING

[willow fog]

yes

cr's fault

trust

[subtle bison]

bro

[keen rivet]

my game is just crashing now

wasn't last night

[meager oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeMrlemVSl8 its in the description

[subtle bison]

erm works for me 🤓 🖕

[compact blaze]

Omg disable chromium?

[subtle bison]

its just for testing

we are a chromium family now 🤓

[keen rivet]

ffs

[subtle bison]

nrc sends you its regards

try using restir gi instead

[keen rivet]

doesnt fix it

[subtle bison]

rip

[subtle bison]

lol this title should have "(OUTDATED)" in it now

"The even NEWER NEWER way to get RTX Remix in Garry's Mod"

[mint berry]

when is the gmod rtx launcher gonna release? 🤓 (with the mounting)

[subtle bison]

idk sometime relatively soon

like within a week?

maybe earlier if i get more time

would it be worth adding some kind of script that removes the empty replacements for hl2rtx when mounting it? it would be nice to not have the grey textures🙂 @keen rivet

[keen rivet]

yeah no idea how i would do that tho

[subtle bison]

some way to read the usd/usda's, check if a file path is valid for a replacement prim, remove it if not

idk i might be able to do it

[keen rivet]

wtf

[subtle bison]

do you have an idea how to fix the vtx checksum issue? i wanna hold off pushing as a lot of stuff breaks with the model load/render hooks

[compact blaze]

I mean it says it right here you lost the device

Go find it

Can’t expect rtx remix to do all the work

[keen rivet]

yeah lemme look into it right now

[compact blaze]

Not like it’s ur nanny

Hell it ain’t even paid

[onyx ridge]

watching peak fiction

[compact blaze]

It’s working overtime for free

[subtle bison]

pootis engage 🔥

[keen rivet]

alright, done

[subtle bison]

yipee

i try to start making a release tomorrow, im cooked for today

[keen rivet]

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/issues/787

[subtle bison]

ok now its starting to look real

[lament quartz]

idk im trying :p

[subtle bison]

is this with HDRIs?

[lament quartz]

yeah

[subtle bison]

definitely makes the lighting more grounded 🔥

[lament quartz]

for sure

grahhhh now i wanna start remixing this 😭

[subtle bison]

do it

then make it the ultimate blender shitpost

[lament quartz]

i also forgor to say but this is the non hdr compiled look

[subtle bison]

did you disable RT or does the map just become rasterized

[compact blaze]

I hope they add restirPT, seems to make scenes like this look more stable while om motion and less boiling

[lament quartz]

this is on a non gmodrtx client

[onyx ridge]

unsure what i am looking at here

[quiet scroll]

holy fucking god

[lament quartz]

[subtle bison]

you know its good when skurtyy starts tweaking

[compact blaze]

I wanna ask does xenthio now have time to work on gmod rtx for a bit?

[subtle bison]

weird that it forces fullbright

you did do vrad right?

[quiet scroll]

I’m gunna try that custom hdri thing after work, it’d be cool to add expansion pack mods

[subtle bison]

i say "uh" a lot in that video

i need to rerecord it at some point lmao

[lament quartz]

i dont think i did vrad because i was just tryna get it to work (compiling was a BITCH

[compact blaze]

I wanna ask what would y’all do if when hl2 rtx released they switch back to the new hash system

[subtle bison]

die inside

[quiet scroll]

the buttery smooth voice

[lament quartz]

i dont think skipping vrad was a bat thing tho

imo

[subtle bison]

the level has no lighting for remix to work with

but I guess you can add them in remix

at that point just use the hdr map

[lament quartz]

the hdr map doesnt have the models at all

[subtle bison]

oh right

then vrad it is

[subtle bison]

maybe do fast if it exists as an option

[lament quartz]

also the light placement is aweful anywhom so id have to work it either way

soo i might as well do something that isnt going to be a pain in the arse

[subtle bison]

might be worth adding custom emissive maps since that map uses unique meshes

[lament quartz]

true thats the plan for a few things in the house

[compact blaze]

How’s everyone doing today?

[lament quartz]

what the fuck

mmmm

I should give the lampshades rtx skin maps

@willow fog how do i do it, ive seen you do it

:eyye:

pls

share your wisdom

[willow fog]

Huh

[lament quartz]

making an sss map

[willow fog]

What softwares do you have at your disposal?

[lament quartz]

any thats free :eyye: so probably paint 3d maybe

[willow fog]

Open blender > import model > open shader editor > switch to cycles > add "Ambient occlusion" shader > Connect it to an emission shader > enable "inside" and "only local" > set the distance until it looks right > add "invert color" node and put it after the ambient occlusion node > add "mix rgb" node and connect the invert color node to the first input > on the second input, use the RGB values (r = 1, g= 0.2, b= 0.1) > on the mix color node, set the mode to "multiply" and the factor to 1

[subtle bison]

https://cdn.jacher.io/a0ed2e2271e48653.gif

[willow fog]

I'm keeping that

[subtle bison]

lmao

[lament quartz]

and how do i get the model exported

to blender not remix

[willow fog]

Go figure

[lament quartz]

[lament quartz]

well if anything i got one emissive mask

and this

looks goofy with heavy fog tho lol but kinda more like a hazy house thing

[subtle bison]

u can see the origin of the light tho with the fog

[modern quest]

yeah lol

[lament quartz]

yeah lol

jinx

[subtle bison]

insane

[subtle bison]

where is the obligatory 8K spaghetti

[brittle token]

im wondering, is it possible to start CSGO maps on gmod rtx without crashing?

[lament quartz]

you find it i add it

[subtle bison]

sort of? i used to crash all of the time trying to load them but now they magically work

lighting will be broken though since we dont properly support HDR maps

[brittle token]

i tried rn and it just keeps on crashing, strange

[subtle bison]

ye idk what fixed it for me

@lament quartz do they work for u

[brittle token]

hmm, tried to join a normal map with the csgo contents and it crashed as well. maybe that's the problem

[lament quartz]

good question actually

lemme install csgo adn do that rq

before that, i fucked up the fog

[subtle bison]

rip

@brittle token this has a low chance of working, but the only major thing i have done to my gmod install is update our custom remix build

https://github.com/sambow23/dxvk-remix-gmod/releases/tag/c0247a8

try installing this runtime and see if you still crash

[brittle token]

mmm. let's see

[lament quartz]

dust2

[subtle bison]

wow i couldnt even get into dust2

nice

hdri should work nicely there

[lament quartz]

it is very fucky tho

[subtle bison]

looks like a bunch of stuff to tag

[lament quartz]

and i do mean very fucky

[subtle bison]

this looks like something from the custom displacement renderer

but that should be off by default

guh

ill see if i can get into the map

[brittle token]

it didn't seem to like it either, still worth a try

[subtle bison]

huh

is this after loading?

[earnest yew]

cr woke up

[subtle bison]

i pressed pause on the nap

[brittle token]

yep, on the "initializing lua"

[brittle token]

neat

[subtle bison]

cs2 if it was good

[livid rapids]

lucas...

[brittle token]

o.o

[subtle bison]

[meager oar]

i think u can fix that by setting the firefly to 1.000 in remix menu advance global volumetric settings

[subtle bison]

yea my game freezes here with dust2 as well

rip

weird that inferno and nuke work

[brittle token]

btw, are the new thingies a newer version of rtx remix? noticing i can now select different Ray Reconstruction models

[subtle bison]

yea its based off the remix 1.0.0 changes and a little after

[brittle token]

nice

im getting more noise for some reason

(and ghosting)

[lament quartz]

oughh

[subtle bison]

wait

is this old csgo dust2

[lament quartz]

does it work normally on gmod then or

[brittle token]

isn't that the latest source 1 iteration?

[subtle bison]

well thats what i was asuming lol

i meant like running the csgo maps mounted directly

[lament quartz]

oh mounting

how do i mount to a game that doesnt exist anymore?

[subtle bison]

no there is a newer one backported from cs2 when it was in development iirc

[brittle token]

o damn

[subtle bison]

like 3 years before cs2 release i think

[lament quartz]

@subtle bison

[lament quartz]

wait what the fuck?

[earnest yew]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-broom-gif-3534876

[subtle bison]

i can hear this in my head

[lament quartz]

same

[subtle bison]

lmfao

[lament quartz]

and no, im sorry i didnt know of a beta for cs2 which i dont have installed for scgo legacy items

ok give me some time augh

[subtle bison]

rip

[earnest yew]

its really shite

[hushed trail]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3448395748

[earnest yew]

no way

[subtle bison]

that was fast

[earnest yew]

how good do they look is the question

[hushed trail]

Seems like the right porter to make them look halfway decent atleast

[glass plinth]

😭 my fire broke for no reason

[subtle bison]

LOL

[earnest yew]

mmod fans are gonna suck up all of the hl2rtx assets

LMAO

[subtle bison]

blud needs css

/s

[glass plinth]

I thought it was one of the bombs i used in gbombs but no it applies to all types of fire

[subtle bison]

those embers look like its from some other addon

[glass plinth]

only thing I can think of that would change it is ArcCW or Gbombs

[subtle bison]

disable stuff until its normal again

[brittle token]

i think i used that one, it made my physics gun into a physics electric plug lol

[lament quartz]

why does your grass look like https://ambientcg.com/view?id=Grass005

[glass plinth]

just how the map looks

[earnest yew]

crunchy textures...

[livid rapids]

Because it is

[willow fog]

Wai hold on. Now, I can just replace the textures with the PBR materials from the mod and done. Same exact viewmodels as the hl2 demo

[livid rapids]

I think

[willow fog]

Le fucking epic

[livid rapids]

Exactly, if we can't replace skinned meshes, just make them for source!!

[willow fog]

@onyx ridge @earnest yew
So what about the rtxio extractor?

[earnest yew]

erm!

[willow fog]

Yes, but someone already did that with the mod, right?

[earnest yew]

im making a new build LOL

[onyx ridge]

[earnest yew]

but ill fix it rq

[willow fog]

The models are there. Just need to do the materials

[earnest yew]

how many drives do you have again

[glass plinth]

I did have Gbombs working just fine a couple of days ago so idk what could be the cause of my missing fire textures

[willow fog]

Physical or virtual

[earnest yew]

physical

[willow fog]

3

[brittle token]

are these micropuddles on the grass texture normal? o.o

[willow fog]

C d e f

[lament quartz]

even if not csgo this looks sick as hell

[subtle bison]

its not gbombs wiithout the 1 frame per hour

[subtle bison]

uhh wut the

[willow fog]

Looks like an unmarked detail texture

[subtle bison]

detail textures arent an issue in 0.6.0

[brittle token]

might be cuz of some setting i touched on rtx remix, imma go check

[subtle bison]

also that does not look like a detail texture lol

[willow fog]

Just a decal then

[subtle bison]

could also be a weird remix setting

[willow fog]

Idk, sometimes if you have a bunch of unmarked decals layered on top of each other, it causes a hole in the texture

[subtle bison]

ye but it never looks like that

also flatgrass only has the one grass texture

nothing else would blend with it

[willow fog]

Skill issue then

Idk

[brittle token]

yeah, i thought that i had set up the roughness high on the grass, but maybe it wasn't? it was cuz of enhanced assets

[brittle token]

that could be too, seems like two textures are z-fightning on the grass

[keen rivet]

MAN I WISH I COULD FIX CULLING

[subtle bison]

this is normal, the custom world renderer renders on top the engine-based one

[willow fog]

Words said by the wicked

[brittle token]

ooh, alright

[subtle bison]

you only ever see this in debug mode or selecting hashes

[brittle token]

anyone here played hram?

got bored and started setting up materials for this map lol

[glass plinth]

same thing happens even with all mods disabled 💔

[lament quartz]

the last thing i see before gmod crashed

[brittle token]

reality falls apart

[willow fog]

Got bored and made a game along with securing my future for life

-Garry from Garry's mod

[subtle bison]

mario64 ahh painting

[willow fog]

Framegen

[brittle token]

even the chat got curved

[subtle bison]

maybe something got corrupted

[subtle bison]

nop

[glass plinth]

I did stop halfway through exporting hl2 rtx textures but I never actually moved anything to the gmod rtx folder

[brittle token]

for some reason the game freezes for a bit when noclipping through the glass windows

[glass plinth]

would it be safe to verify the game and then copy/replace the files in the gmodrtx folder?

[brittle token]

(this the frozen-on frame)

ok, moving too fast causes it, even more strange

[subtle bison]

yea

[glass plinth]

I have also installed a hl2 campaign sourcemod if that would affect anything

https://www.moddb.com/mods/half-life-2-alone-mod

[livid rapids]

So we're back with old hashes

[subtle bison]

ye that could replace particles, since its a sourcemod

[subtle bison]

not yet but

[livid rapids]

Well I'm gonna port everything anyways

[glass plinth]

I deleted the sourcemod entirely and i still get the same results, I'm gonna go ahead and verify

[brittle token]

i dont think it's cuz of addons / mods, i think it just happens cuz of the fire texture

or smoke?

[glass plinth]

you have it too?

[onyx ridge]

[glass plinth]

it's marked like that for me too

[brittle token]

and it's a source missing texture, ... could it be because of the directx version?

[subtle bison]

wuh

did a new gmod update break particles or something

[brittle token]

with no ray tracing:

[brittle token]

likely

[subtle bison]

yea thats a lot of missing particles

im about to test a clean install of the latest gmod one sec

aint no way rubat fucked us over like that

[keen rivet]

fhjaslkdfjlasdjf

[subtle bison]

did it happen

[keen rivet]

no

[subtle bison]

😦

[subtle bison]

both normal gmod fire and vfire work for me

[lament quartz]

back to the atmospherichouse grind while cs2 downloads

[brittle token]

looks nice, maybe a bit more sun

[keen rivet]

we need a real reverse engineerist in here..

[lament quartz]

how so

[brittle token]

like, a bit more intensity, or maybe play a bit with the exposure

(of the sun light)

[mint berry]

why is it like this

[brittle token]

for some reason the C > right click menu doesn't show up on my gmod install, i dont think it ever did while on rtx

[glass plinth]

vfire works??

[glass plinth]

no joke might just use that instead

[subtle bison]

huh, nothing should break it

[lament quartz]

i think it looks fine otherwise but sure

[subtle bison]

ye i did some fixes for it

[subtle bison]

culling 😦

[lament quartz]

speaking of fire, does fire sometimes just not ive off emissives

or maybe im geeking

[glass plinth]

my game crashes on launch now 🙃

[subtle bison]

gotta enable particles lights in the basic remix settings

[keen rivet]

now i'm remembering what burnt me out on this project LMAO

all the unsolvable issues....

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/sisyphus-rock-mp4-transparent-color-gif-11114772717737196968

[brittle token]

mmm. maybe try re-pasting in the gmodrtx stuff

[subtle bison]

also try nuking the gmod install itself

[brittle token]

sometimes i wonder how is the HL2 RTX team even working it, maybe cuz of the direct contact with nvidia

[lament quartz]

in gmod settings or in remix settings (im an idiot and cant find that or something similar that isnt already on)

[subtle bison]

remix

[keen rivet]

@ember grove are you interested at all in helping getting gmod working better? since you somehow magically got a bunch of other games to work?

lmao

[subtle bison]

yes

please

🙏

bless thy gmod

[lament quartz]

oh wait vfire works? hell yeah hold on a second

[subtle bison]

😊

[brittle token]

oh shi-

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-looking-down-ashamed-sad-puppy-gif-22443621

[keen rivet]

It would be awesome still if we can send all static geo to remix once, and not need to draw it again, solving world culling and other performance problems

Then we only render entities

somehow fixing culling on those too

[subtle bison]

hu, mwr already does this with no perf cost, but we're still stuck with entities

i agree doing it in remix would be better but getting textures to work would be hard

[keen rivet]

Hmm

Man I atleast want atleast feature parity with 32bit

We don't even have that

[subtle bison]

i think its better that we wait for someone to properly patch the engine

[keen rivet]

fuck I want the patches so bad

[steel lark]

any news in the grt (gurt) world?

[lament quartz]

yo gurt!

[willow fog]

I summon xoxor

Oh wait you already did

[earnest yew]

GOD DONT GET ME STARTED

tf2

[keen rivet]

Xoxor please help us 🙏

[earnest yew]

the fact i got tf2 64x to even render is amazing

pat on the back

[lament quartz]

@subtle bison de_dust2

[subtle bison]

ye thats what i get

too much for gmod ig

[lament quartz]

do any csgo maps work or not

[earnest yew]

nuke

[lament quartz]

[earnest yew]

ok gramps

[lament quartz]

gramps 💀

[keen rivet]

Migration back to 32 bit when

[earnest yew]

64 bit for what

[subtle bison]

i do not miss the loading times, freezing when loading more than 1 map, and the game absolutely chugging after like 50 addons 💀

[earnest yew]

so much better

[keen rivet]

Loaded fine for me

[willow fog]

Good thing I haven't gotten out of bed yet

[subtle bison]

i know there are many others who had the same issues

[lament quartz]

you lied de_nuke fails for me too

[subtle bison]

hu

it does for me tho

[earnest yew]

it worked for cr

[subtle bison]

💀

[earnest yew]

hush hush

[keen rivet]

Perhaps this would go nicely in the launcher

[lament quartz]

it crashes on lua startup for me

[earnest yew]

you can have the scripts n shit if you want

[keen rivet]

Why don't you add it in a PR? The launcher is easy peasy c#

[earnest yew]

PR?

[subtle bison]

pull request

[earnest yew]

maaaan

idk about allat mumbo jumbo

[keen rivet]

Lol fair enough

[subtle bison]

idk maybe its a RNG thing, but it works on a clean gmod install with gmrtx64 0.6.0 and my dev build

[earnest yew]

if you want any edits for the launcher i gochu

or gui switch etc

[lament quartz]

wait whar atmospheric stopped working for me too

sadsnkjfdsfdskjkfds

[subtle bison]

anything happen to make it stop working?

[lament quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/spiderman-dissapear-gone-gif-10901999185719455645

idk

i changed nothing besides mounting csgo

[subtle bison]

unmount csgo

[brittle token]

a bit off topic but, where is gmrtx64? i kinda lost the file and im trying to find from where i downloaded it

tried that, still wont work

i reset the conf and it works now

[earnest yew]

nah i mean the map

[subtle bison]

the rtx.conf?

[lament quartz]

yeah

[subtle bison]

guh

[lament quartz]

dk what the fuck i did

i was about to cry tho

[subtle bison]

dude that gif got me laughing so hard

[lament quartz]

wait actually tho how did you get models working

did you decompile too

:eyye:

[subtle bison]

no

[onyx ridge]

i noticed earlier the scanner model had inconsistent hashes

[subtle bison]

my viewmodels werent working tho

[onyx ridge]

idk how it got replaced when you were messing with it

[subtle bison]

xenthio doing magic shit as usual

[lament quartz]

idk i think my decompiled one looks better ☝️

[keen rivet]

what did i do

[hushed trail]

You know what you did

[subtle bison]

all of the model fixes so hashes would load for hl2rtx assets

👑

[keen rivet]

not all

[subtle bison]

bro most if not all

[keen rivet]

some portal props, small health vial

weapon world models

[subtle bison]

guys we're cooked

[brittle token]

we are incinerated

[subtle bison]

i love to see this ☺️

[keen rivet]

is that new or old updatrr

[subtle bison]

i guess we're just gonna call it mine now since its so modified

based on the old one

[onyx ridge]

is the light updater what handles converting lights

[subtle bison]

it keeps source lights from culling

and render more than 4 at a time since source has a limit

good lord 600 fps

[onyx ridge]

ahh

[subtle bison]

engine bottlenecks just gone lmao

[brittle token]

nvidia texturepack

[onyx ridge]

i forgot do coloured lights actually work on most maps?

[subtle bison]

ye

[onyx ridge]

weird

[subtle bison]

lights work exactly as they should

[onyx ridge]

they weren't working for me in atmospheric house

[earnest yew]

good for him

[onyx ridge]

guessing it's hdr jank

[subtle bison]

cuz its an HDR map so source forces fullbright

so remix cant see any lights

@keen rivet can we get a hook that prevents this?

[onyx ridge]

can we get a hook that implements ultrakill

[subtle bison]

or does source set mat_fullbright so early the binary module wont be able to catch it?

[keen rivet]

map need recpmpile

[subtle bison]

ah no way to make the engine not change the cvar? 🥹

guess those maps can just be remixed with proper lighting

[onyx ridge]

but my coloured lights!!!

[subtle bison]

wait... why dont we just re-create the lights when we detect a map running in mat_fullbright 1

[onyx ridge]

(the problem was with tool lights)

[brittle token]

was about to say: "yay it loaded!"

[onyx ridge]

i mean the map was in fact lacking any lights in the first place which is why i was messing with tool lights

[subtle bison]

wow it did load

[onyx ridge]

but i couldn't tint tool lights, they were always forced to white

[subtle bison]

heavily recommend this

Yo guys i woke up!

good morning

ye thats still fucked

very strange

lamps work tho

just not lights

[onyx ridge]

wacky sauce

[brittle token]

ooooh, pretty lights

[willow fog]

wait

I'm stupid

It's probably just the gui

[lament quartz]

ok guys im hitting the hay after remastering one of the 5 rooms im done

[steel lark]

what map are yall using?

[earnest yew]

you didnt even install the .exe

not even the voidmaps can hurt my optimizations 🔥

suck that glua

[willow fog]

idk, this is good enoug

[earnest yew]

did it work

[willow fog]

THE FUCK YOU MEAN??????????????

Just do all of them

[earnest yew]

automatic processing...

and force override

toggle those

[willow fog]

I thought green meant already enabled

Bad ui design

[earnest yew]

woopsies

get back to me when it completes

[willow fog]

Wow, it's so much faster when the output is in an ssd

[earnest yew]

it works

[willow fog]

It's almost as if

[earnest yew]

[willow fog]

as if SSDs were made to be fast

wow

[subtle bison]

hmm

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/CUtlLinkedList_overflow

do we even have shadows enabled in our autoexec?

i dont think this article directly relates for our occurrence of the issue but an interesting read nonetheless

idk if im gonna dig too deep into this since i've only had 5 maps that have this issue

[willow fog]

Okay, I finally got everything non rtxio'd

[subtle bison]

eepy time 💤

[brittle token]

oooh

[mint berry]

im gmodding it

[brittle token]

mm. for some reason installing dxvk-remix-c0247a8-gmod on top causes me to not be able to take captures

and this im not even sure what is going on honestly

[brittle token]

O.O

[subtle bison]

ok i said i was going to bed but what the fuck

the 5g waves intercepting my brain

maybe just reinstall the base compat mod and see if it goes away

anyway back to 💤

[brittle token]

it did, but it seems that the dxvk update was the thing making it be able to start csgo maps

[subtle bison]

i guess try reinstalling the new dxvk then, maybe you had a bad config or something

[mint berry]

where get?

[earnest yew]

you want the tool?

[ember grove]

I thought this game works properly with remix? What’s missing or not working?

[keen rivet]

in the 64 bit version of gmod we're having trouble:
Disabling all culling properly.
Getting stable hashes on all props (trying to disable whatever is causing vertices to be transformed on cpu)

we've got our own binary module we're trying to use. Might move stuff to a dll injecting launcher too.
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2

[keen rivet]

I have a feeling maybe my r_forcenovis doesn't work

[earnest yew]

[ember grove]

Wouldn’t forcing the current area or everything within a certain radius of the player also work? Would definitely help with performance

How is that module injected? Or does it get loaded by gmod automatically?

[keen rivet]

gmod has a binary modules feature

[keen rivet]

how do you mean?

[quasi blaze]

Also it looks terrible in Multiplayer with culling too

Also it's a risk of being banned too

[ember grove]

Having some culling isn’t bad. You could force the current visframe for all leafs and nodes and then check if a node is within a certain distance to the player in R_CullNode (before the frustum check) and draw it if it is

[atomic pagoda]

So I managed to extract the files, but im getting really annoyed at how I just cant open certain dds files, does anyone know a way around this?

[ember grove]

Or force the node if it’s in the same area as the player

[ember grove]

Nothing you can do about that I guess

[atomic pagoda]

Im losing my shit with all this weird file importing gobbledygook

[atomic pagoda]

Took me forever but I ported the ammo box

[mint berry]

YES

@earnest yew

[quasi blaze]

Why the heck why?

[mint berry]

@earnest yew tool PLEASE

[keen rivet]

oh yeah but i mean, like theres still backface culling and other culling that i just cannot for the life of me figure out where it happens

gonna see if i can get a new release with the new launcher out today, no promises 🙂

[compact blaze]

anyone noticed the subsurface scattering on this? (left is on, right is off)

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet since you said the r_cullbox stuff works for physics props, I can make fvf touch only static props. should help with perf a bit

ik the goal is to kill culling, but for now i guess we can work with what we have

[lament quartz]

I tricked one of my friends in believing atmospheric house was my house that I moved to

[compact blaze]

what image did u use?

[subtle bison]

lmao i was cleaning up my C: drive and apparently source games take up the most space 💀

[subtle bison]

are they half blind by any chance

[lament quartz]

no but their stupid

[compact blaze]

what tool do u use to clean ur drive?

[subtle bison]

windirstat

[compact blaze]

i doubt they'd believe you'd have enough of a bag to move into a house like this

[lament quartz]

i actually have enough bag to do that tho 😭

[compact blaze]

Ok get an rtx pro 6000 I double dare you

[lament quartz]

Ok

[compact blaze]

I triple dare you ms Bailey get 5 rtx pro 6000s so u can run remix at native 8k 120fps

[lament quartz]

Welders money can afford that maybe

[compact blaze]

Buy the state of Kansas

[lament quartz]

Ok

Thank you

[compact blaze]

Also damn being a welder pays that much?

[lament quartz]

I could comission furry art of you instead

[lament quartz]

Yeah

Also #offtopic

[atomic pagoda]

Does anyone know why I cant open some of the dds files? I successfully extracted them but I cant seem to open some

[subtle bison]

you're opening the metadata file instead of the actual texture

if the .dds doesnt exist, it means they didnt include it

[atomic pagoda]

Oh so there's no way I'm able to extract textures for a model if the files are like that?

Damn thats annoying

[subtle bison]

well they just dont exist

or you need to unpack the mod.pkg files

[subtle bison]

yay i love packaged python scripts /s

[earnest yew]

do you really

how many pip packages are in there lmao
