Python..........

[subtle bison]

python 😦

[willow fog]

python

[atomic pagoda]

That's what I did

I unpacked packages 1 to 11

Im pretty sure those files were in the folders i extracted them to

[willow fog]

Chat

I'm bored

What do?

[subtle bison]

nothing

[atomic pagoda]

.\RtxIoResourceExtractor.exe "D:\Steamgames\steamapps\common\Half-Life 2 RTX\rtx-remix\mods\hl2rtx\mod_01.pkg" --force -o .Documents

This is what i put in

[subtle bison]

and there wasnt any .dds file for that asset?

it might be elsewhere, maybe it wasnt packed?

[atomic pagoda]

I got no clue im not at my pc currently

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix this is what im using btw. Is it up to date?

[subtle bison]

ye

[atomic pagoda]

I located the extracted files in this folder called "packman" that's supposed to happen right?

[subtle bison]

no more hdri cube shadows when using HDRIs 🙏

also hashes are updated for the old system now

[subtle bison]

wdym

[winter radish]

That grass 🔥

[quiet scroll]

CR DOIN IT AGAIN CHAT

[subtle bison]

water is next 🥹

the sun water is leaking

[quiet scroll]

I can visit my old mods again I think something happened to them though, I downloaded one awhile ago and the lights were all in weird spots

[subtle bison]

how did you spawn toolkit lights with the x32 mods? i dont think the world geometry was stable there

[quiet scroll]

Lots of little tricks and debug viewing There was always atleast 1 stable hash I could find, I’d add a light to it but just place it where I wanted it

But now I add lights to the invisible squares around the map, they’re somehow totally stable. If you take a capture and then go into the toolkit and drag over the scene, it finds little squares around lights

[subtle bison]

invisible squares?

guh

very surprised HDRIs still work with all light bounces gone lol

[quiet scroll]

I’ll show ya next time I open a gmod map - they’re GOLD for what we do in remix

[willow fog]

@subtle bison Didn't

[subtle bison]

you dont need the hl2rtx maps for the grass

its a model thing

[willow fog]

uh

[willow fog]

so what

[subtle bison]

👁️

[subtle bison]

wait for the next release that has all of the model fixes and new launcher

[willow fog]

[subtle bison]

man if only the toolkit wouldnt crash when trying to change materials 💀

i shouldnt have updated my build ughhh

[winter radish]

@subtle bison

Get the Tardis addon working

[atomic pagoda]

Is the folder where i extract it too supposed to have that name

[distant crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/wormie-club-wormie-club-windows-book-club-gif-26107430

/jk I pay for my keys

[brittle token]

is there any way of fixing the captures coming out sideways?

[subtle bison]

yes its something i forgot to set in the 0.6.0 release

one sec

check this

and re-capture

so uhh

https://ebbinger.gumroad.com/l/WlUHr

do we use this to replace our existing remix replacement?

👁️

[earnest yew]

[subtle bison]

fixed old water without the toolkit but there is some weird purple hue in the reflection

ah that would be it

idk who did these original replacements from years ago but they changed transmittance color

[compact blaze]

Keep it and gaslight people about it

[subtle bison]

💀

[compact blaze]

You have multiple options, either say it was always there, or say there’s isn’t a hue and they’re just crazy/denoising artifacts

[subtle bison]

i would do that if i didnt already say why it happened

lmao

[compact blaze]

Delete it

And say it’s a fake message

And pretend this conversation is a connected fever dream everyone but us is experiencing

[subtle bison]

ah right

must've been the wind

i really do want a higher res water replacement tho

[compact blaze]

I mean u can try this and see how it looks

[subtle bison]

i gotta figure out how remix does animated textures

also the toolkit breaks whenever i interact with transparent materials so ill have to do it via notepad

kill me

[compact blaze]

Ya I still have no idea how it does it

[compact blaze]

Rtx 20 series life 💔

[subtle bison]

nah its a toolkit bug lol

both stable and the latest commit do it

i made the mistake of updating my built one

i wonder if changing it in notepad and reopening the project in the toolkit works 🤞

[compact blaze]

Can’t u downgrade it?

[subtle bison]

i guess i am

[compact blaze]

Ik it’d take a bit of work but I think it’s worth it for the headache

[subtle bison]

something at least with the stage manager

arguably the best feature

thank god they tagged stuff

[earnest yew]

yummers

[subtle bison]

yippee that worked

ofc its sprite sheets

im done for

ah yes very helpful nvidia

its probably easier to get the game to render 120 unique textues i can replace

anyway ill do this later, we'll use old water for now

[compact blaze]

Actually this seems quite easy

Check the texture to see how many rows and columns it has

Place that info in there

And then multiply the row and columns to get the fps

[subtle bison]

there are 120 unique texture frames

[earnest yew]

ok and

[subtle bison]

i would have to make a texture 120 x 1024

so whatever that resolution is

on both axis

[compact blaze]

Does remix not allow a super high resolution sprite sheet?

[subtle bison]

122880 x 122880

[subtle bison]

the gpu would explode

to put it simply

[brittle token]

oooh, thanks :D imma try it

[compact blaze]

I’m sure it’d have some way to optimize it since it wouldn’t show the entire texture but only multiple versions of it in succession

[subtle bison]

i'd also need a way to automate the creation of that texture

no way i can do that by hand in photoshop

[earnest yew]

chatgpt

deadass try chatgpt

[compact blaze]

I’m sure there’s a system out there to add multiple images in a grid

Simple script or application

[subtle bison]

i guess ill try to

[compact blaze]

Or that

Why not alive ass

[mint berry]

add gwater support so i can gwater all over the remixed textures

[earnest yew]

no

fatty

[compact blaze]

Ur so rude 💔

[mint berry]

🥀

[earnest yew]

screenshotted!

[subtle bison]

ty claude
montage *.png -tile 10x12 -geometry 1024x1024+0+0 -background none output_spritesheet.png

it was that easy

imagemagick ftw

[earnest yew]

i use chatgpt 4 everythinh

[subtle bison]

claude is smarter 🤓

[willow fog]

steal the one from hl2

[subtle bison]

does hl2rtx even have any water

[earnest yew]

yes

it has water textures

[subtle bison]

also im not enabling the source engine water textures, that shit is so buggy, i'd rather let remix do this

so i'd have to make a spritesheet with that as well

[subtle bison]

bro is gonna go out of his way to make claude look worse than gpt 4 🤓

[earnest yew]

i dont even use gpt 4

[subtle bison]

oh

[earnest yew]

it randomly cucks ur projects

[compact blaze]

Jessica why are you such a hater 💔

[earnest yew]

i didnt even do anything

lol

[compact blaze]

💔

[subtle bison]

LOL

[compact blaze]

Live hating on cam

[subtle bison]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCDta3rhxSg

[earnest yew]

paint.net the goat tho

fuck photoshop

[compact blaze]

I wanna ask y’all should I try gimp 3.0 and see if it replaces paint.net

[earnest yew]

no cause paint.net on top

🔛

🔝

[subtle bison]

there is no way remix is gonna load this texture man

[earnest yew]

nah u got it

try

[subtle bison]

bet

[distant crystal]

I LOVE CHINESE KMS SERVERS!!!! 😁😁😁

[earnest yew]

if it can load 9 billion 4k textures

fym it cant load that

[subtle bison]

idk its just an arbitrary resolution

[earnest yew]

[subtle bison]

we'll find out lol

[compact blaze]

How long is it taking to load?

[subtle bison]

sitting at 70% ingesting rn

gpu isnt dead yet

nvm

oh wow it went through

moment of truth 👁️

holy shit

it works

i think i need to adjust the scaling in the engine

[willow fog]

Why are you reingesting preingested textures?

[subtle bison]

this is a different water texture 💀

[willow fog]

Ah

[subtle bison]

a much better one 🤤

no more source engine water bullshit im so happy

[compact blaze]

In source right?

[subtle bison]

yea

i can do it with the water replacement script we have i think

are the normals backward?

or is this the double layering shit from source

it looks a bit weird ingame

[compact blaze]

It feels like the water texture is somehow temporally building up each frame but stops while ur in movement

[subtle bison]

yea i see that too

a shame since the asset quality is quite good

[compact blaze]

U think it’s somehow a dlss issue?

[subtle bison]

it also happens on transformers

RR is the issue

[compact blaze]

Ah dang

Looks fine on a regular denoiser?

[subtle bison]

the pharohs curse

ghosting is gone but it looks even worse

im gonna try flipping the normals tho

the reflections still look weird

[compact blaze]

Can u zip up this file and send it here

[winter radish]

Map link?

[compact blaze]

I wanna see how my pc handles it lol

[compact blaze]

Oh shit wait u have discord nitro

[subtle bison]

yea i got discord

🙂

[earnest yew]

that looks like shit!

120 fps my ass!

[compact blaze]

Forgot to add the nitro bit but ya also wow u have discord?

[earnest yew]

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

[subtle bison]

120 frames

not fps

[earnest yew]

potato patato

[compact blaze]

I wish I had nitro rn to upload the raw 100mb image and see if it actually embeds

[subtle bison]

ok bet

[earnest yew]

if i had 10 dollars to spare id give you it

[subtle bison]

its also weird that the toolkit looks fine with the water

[earnest yew]

ive spet like 500 dollars on random nitros

[compact blaze]

Pls I don’t need nitro dw

[subtle bison]

embed failure

[earnest yew]

mmm

yummy normal map

[subtle bison]

i paid $2 for the water btw

🤓

[earnest yew]

in this economy?

HAHAHAHAHAH

[compact blaze]

Irl bottled water prob costs that much in some places

[subtle bison]

btw @compact blaze these are the settings

[compact blaze]

Ah guessing u kept the fps low since it’d look pretty unnaturally fast otherwise

[subtle bison]

ye i think thats why its 120 frames

very smooth but also lots of detail

also im pretty sure the normals are backward

aka it needs to be opengl and not directx

whoops

[compact blaze]

I’ve always wondered why the ingestion screen has 2 options to set the normal

Like u set the normal for the texture when u select it

And then a big pop down menu to also select a normal type

And I’m just so confused by it lol

[subtle bison]

yea it took me a bit to understand as well lol

also i just realized i still have driver overrides for transformers, so when i switch to CNN in gmod it was still transformers lol

btw dont turn on thin-walled

goodbye refraction

[compact blaze]

Ya u should disable it now

[compact blaze]

I still don’t really know what thin walled is for since you can just set refraction to zero to have a clear class pane look

[subtle bison]

thin-walled disables refraction and also lets light passthrough

like colored shadows n stuff

[earnest yew]

try taking the usda from the hl2 rtx water

[willow fog]

Refraction is for nerds 🔥

[earnest yew]

or the settings

[subtle bison]

transformers also fucks up the HDRIs

time to reset driver prefs

[willow fog]

On today's episode of how fucked up is fucked up:

That's fucked up

[subtle bison]

oh wow

CNN is MUCH better

[willow fog]

Except for everything else lmao

[subtle bison]

nvm 😦

why must we suffer, stupid temporal shit

with DLSS balanced it looks ok but my performance goes in the shitter

[subtle bison]

transformers looks the best when the player is constantly moving the camera

how do i enable that other transformers model

[earnest yew]

take the hl2rtx water

atleast try it

[willow fog]

CR you

you

fucking

(slur)

[subtle bison]

what now

[willow fog]

Try the hl2 water

[subtle bison]

ugh fine

[willow fog]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QGqij7Ad5mQ?feature=share

thx youtuvbe

I appreciate this higher form of entertainment

[subtle bison]

bro

💀

why use such low res water 💀

[mint berry]

when is the gmod launcher

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/its-out-when-its-ready-gif-6182608754390432852

[mint berry]

out (with the mount thing)

[mint berry]

k

[earnest yew]

atleast try it

💔

[subtle bison]

im pretty sure its the original hl2 water but with its normals imported into remix

[willow fog]

Tile it, brother

[subtle bison]

kinda difficult since they're named by their hashes and not in order, not to mention also being .dds

i really dont want to put time into fixing all of it for the sake of trying it out

[earnest yew]

lol

[willow fog]

ughhhhhhhh

[subtle bison]

if someone else wants to do it they can but im just gonna push the old water fix we've always had

[willow fog]

Maybe I can make a custom texture for you

[subtle bison]

i mean sure

as long as it looks fine in remix

[willow fog]

it's suuuper easy

[subtle bison]

hmm apparently just lowering the normal strength makes the water look much better

also thinking maybe taking the res down a bit

[willow fog]

Also 🔥 music leaked into the video

[subtle bison]

i regret unmuting the video

[willow fog]

https://tenor.com/view/dance-hip-hop-group-dance-jamming-heat-gif-465362965635390427

[subtle bison]

anyway im gonna keep tweaking the water, i think im onto something

[willow fog]

Give blender a shot

[subtle bison]

or just use yours

[willow fog]

All you have to do is add an object. Any object and select ocean modifier

[willow fog]

Resolution?

[subtle bison]

1024x1024 as a base

[willow fog]

I'm giving you 250 frames

[subtle bison]

💀

can you make the number even

[compact blaze]

when is the gmod launcher

[willow fog]

256 it is

[brittle token]

i love this error model

[subtle bison]

omfg i found what was causing the noise

meshed world renderer for fucks sake

also the normals still look weird

time to take a trip to substance painter

[compact blaze]

i mean thats still some noise

but ya

[subtle bison]

yea but thats denoiser noise

not two meshes colliding noise (mwr)

[compact blaze]

also have yall noticed how the error model in hl2 rtx has actually had its glow added

[subtle bison]

idk... this glows pretty well

🙂

[subtle bison]

omfg the tiling is broken for the water too

@willow fog i need that water 😭 🙏

[willow fog]

rendering rn

[compact blaze]

that transformer artifacting 💔

[subtle bison]

yea i fucking hate that stuff

[compact blaze]

doesn't appear in preset D right?

[subtle bison]

where is that option btw

[subtle bison]

ty

transformer d actually looks worse

its smearing everything

[willow fog]

Loops perfectly

[subtle bison]

🤤

[willow fog]

I have this feeling

That it's gonna eat up a lot of vram

💀

Regardless

Anything for good looking water

[subtle bison]

gmod rtx's standout feature will be the realistic water

[mint berry]

mounting? 😦

[willow fog]

[subtle bison]

i was being sarcastic

[willow fog]

I'm gonna mount your MOTHER

fuck

[mint berry]

😎

[earnest yew]

it's so fucking money

[mint berry]

[willow fog]

yyyep

I told you

Hopefully you dds compression will make them much smaller

These are barely compressed PNGs

[subtle bison]

ye

[willow fog]

OpenGL format normal maps btw

[subtle bison]

ty for letting me know lol

[earnest yew]

stinky green normal maps

ew

ew

ew

[willow fog]

I prefer the term "superior"

[lapis delta]

can anyone try this?

[subtle bison]

we did

it didnt actually come to that size

[lapis delta]

😭

it's such a shame that the remix doesn't support real life fire simulation

in my room

[subtle bison]

💀

im definitely halving the resolution before i ingest this

my gpu would explode doing it full res

ty @willow fog for making it 256 frames btw, dimensions are perfectly even ❤️

[willow fog]

np

Do not

Keep it 1024

PLEASE

[subtle bison]

fine

[willow fog]

It'll be so funny

[subtle bison]

my gpu is gonna fucking explode

[willow fog]

[subtle bison]

amazing

that was fast

i dont think remix supports 16K textures 🙂

ye the 8K version works

for some reason it does not tile correctly lol

if i do 8x8 it works but the sequencing is messed up

ill try re-tiling it, maybe the order got fucked

why the fuck is 16x16 broken but everything before it and after works

💔

@willow fog can you do like 128 frames, remix hates the number 16

[subtle bison]

or even double

idfk

[willow fog]

I didn't even save the file

[subtle bison]

hmm

[willow fog]

So I will load the backup

[subtle bison]

ok im gonna focus on pushing that new release now lol

enough water stuff

[compact blaze]

Post pone or cancel all the stuff planned for 0.7

And instead make it the hd water update

[subtle bison]

"ULTRA HD 8K 16K WATER RELEASE"

https://tenor.com/view/cat-fight-gif-21912966

[willow fog]

I fail to understand what's going on

[subtle bison]

its not ur textures lol

remix shits itself when the rows and columns are 16x16

anything before or after that number works

but then the sequence breaks and it jumps around a lot

so either expand or reduce the amount of frames so its not 16 anymore

[willow fog]

what

https://tenor.com/view/blinking-eyes-white-guy-blinking-meme-what-huh-gif-26334323

[subtle bison]

make it like 258 or 254 frames

thats what i mean

[willow fog]

oghey

[distant crystal]

I think there is something in rtx.conf or there is an option that declares the maximum replacement resolution, think it defaults to 8K but I've never tried changing it

[subtle bison]

still dont know how we'd get it to import in the toolkit tho

[distant crystal]

Oh it doesn't even import into the toolkit? Fuuuggg

@subtle bison

[subtle bison]

ty

ill work on it once i push the new compat mod release

[willow fog]

12 hours

tik

tok

mother

fucker

[subtle bison]

i already downloaded it lol

[willow fog]

ah

[subtle bison]

@quiet scroll still got that 32-bit rtx.conf?

[willow fog]

One day

When the stars all align

We will have a conf that everyone agrees on

[subtle bison]

we're merging all of them

for hashes

[willow fog]

old or new?

[subtle bison]

old

[willow fog]

Wish I still had my old conf

[subtle bison]

also we're using the hl2rtx config as the base for other settings that arent hashes

so everyone should agree on it

lol

[willow fog]

There were a shit ton of decals and particles relating to mw19 guns

And a bunch of maps here and there

But I feel like auto tagging should be possible

[subtle bison]

it might be but my instinct tells me it will be fucking difficult

i could be wrong

[willow fog]

gmod is a sea of content.

No way we can cover even 1% of the stuff

[subtle bison]

yea

thankfully we have a solution for detail textures

those drove me insane

[willow fog]

And does it involve just getting rid of them?

[subtle bison]

i meant to say detail, but yea we change them all to a random dev texture and then ignore them in remix

they will never be an issue again

[brittle token]

that was an extremely harsh way of reminding me to save every now and then

[subtle bison]

the toolkit loves to be evil

😍

[brittle token]

i was 90% done, Fuck

ok yeah fuck it if it's not backupped im just moving onto something else

[compact blaze]

What were u trying to do?

[brittle token]

setting up materials for a train station part of a hl2 beta map

replacing lights, adjusting metalness and roughness. etc

[willow fog]

I fucking hate the toolkit

The day I opened it for the first time

To today

I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it

[brittle token]

the cuckkit

[willow fog]

on god

[brittle token]

never thought i'd see a program that doesn't know what the Supr key is for

[willow fog]

I know and it makes me extremely angry

https://tenor.com/view/i-saw-w-gus-fring-gus-gustavo-deleted-gif-25440636

[compact blaze]

I said nothing

[subtle bison]

i apparently have a bunch in my downloads folder (some from 2023)

[brittle token]

back to zero, fuck that shit

[brittle token]

gotta love x.conf

[quiet scroll]

oh shit uhhh wait lemme check some places, i know there's one sitting in storage somewhere lmao

[subtle bison]

pls 🙏

[quiet scroll]

Found one!! This one's prettyyyyyy recent I believe, like a month or two before the hashes changed

[subtle bison]

smol

[quiet scroll]

OH I have a css rtx.conf file on moddb

hollup ill drop it

[subtle bison]

good lawd

this is what we got so far

8 rtx.conf files

[quiet scroll]

I usually keep everything when I leave a project or pause, all the work files/captures/confs, but when the hashes changed I must've just wiped everything and only kept the packages

[subtle bison]

i still think we have more hashes archived from the old system than the new

so all good lol

[quiet scroll]

I wonder if there's a way to preserve what the rtxkeepobsolete or whatever thingy does to the hashes, that way even if they do get rid of it, it won't break the old way we did it to keep hl2rtx textures intact

[subtle bison]

we can probably continue using a custom remix build that keeps the old system (we use a custom build anyway lol)

[keen rivet]

I've been tagging a bunch of shit

[keen rivet]

Player models, terrain, decals

[subtle bison]

🙏

ill refrain from releasing until you get that ready

[quiet scroll]

We gotta make sure the material option overrides stay default so all the mods look as the modder intended

[subtle bison]

we're using the hl2rtx config as a base so those shouldnt be touched

[quiet scroll]

2 years of remix work, all bundled into one

[subtle bison]

😎

i think i got the release ready to go, just need that last rtx.conf, no pressure xenthio 🙂

ima test it on a fresh install

ok i see some issues with merging rtx.confs lmao

a lot of stuff that should be decals for terrain is just straight up ignored

this is gonna be fun to fix

[earnest yew]

rtx remix

more like

gtx no remix

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet do i need to update my gmod sdk stuff or?

ah yeah i see now

fixed

[keen rivet]

rebuild thingy

[subtle bison]

yea i figured it out

beautiful

everything is working ootb on a clean install 😍

gonna start working on a script that removes unused replacements for hl2rtx

were these planks always broken in gmod?

i havent done anything other than mount hl2rtx with the extracted assets

[keen rivet]

they work when i have hl2rtx pkgs mounted

[mint berry]

i love the number 16

becasue of 16 bit games

[brittle token]

uhhhhhh, material properties None???

[subtle bison]

its an untextured drawcall

remix cant handle those

[brittle token]

damn

[subtle bison]

you'd have to replace the asset in the engine to a point where remix can handle it

[distant crystal]

Or replace it via the toolkit if the hash is stable, I've done the same for Delta Force

[subtle bison]

that is the toolkit

untextured drawcalls dont have any hashes so it cant be replaced

[distant crystal]

Why yes it is, I thought you meant replace it via the game engine

[subtle bison]

ah

yeah ideally you'd fix it in the game, then replace in the toolkit

[distant crystal]

Hmmm mine in Delta did but who knows what kind of trickery they were doing in their engine

[brittle token]

according to rtx remix this the hash. FBB1B3FB53395F55

[brittle token]

imma see what i can do

nope, no idea

[lament quartz]

i have black screen

[subtle bison]

have you tried making it white

fr tho, gonna need more info, how did you install remix, hardware, etc

[lament quartz]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeMrlemVSl8&t=41s i followed this tutroial

tutorial

but he has hl2.exe and i have gmod.exe

[subtle bison]

yea its out of date

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/blob/main/README.md

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet might wanna rename the video to outdated

[keen rivet]

it still technically works

[subtle bison]

even if it "technically" works, its misleading at this point lol

[subtle bison]

yea good enough with me lol

[keen rivet]

i forgot about the comments

[subtle bison]

yea i saw those lmao

[keen rivet]

Honestly I would still be using 32bit over 64bit right now

We still need to chip away at 64bit a bit more

hopefully somebody swoops i with the patches and becomes our lord and saviour

[subtle bison]

yeah fr

im quite happy with 64-bit imo, the meshed world render made it at least playable

no doubt 32-bit looks better and is more compatible with stuff outside sandbox, but i just didnt like the performance issues

im still debating about chipping away at a custom static prop renderer

i had a bit of luck a few months ago but scrapped it

kinda like xoxor4d said, i'd rather have specialized culling than no culling

@onyx ridge happy birthday 🍰

[subtle bison]

lol

[lament quartz]

Never activate windows

what should i do

[willow fog]

Eh

[near tartan]

Dudes already outa retirement

[willow fog]

I had nothing else to do

[near tartan]

Relatable

[subtle bison]

nothing looks wrong here 💀

[lament quartz]

ok

[brittle token]

the damn texture isn't even selectable ingame

blocking out all the windows

[subtle bison]

yea thats what i meant by untextured drawcall

[crystal storm]

Yeah those untextured calls are rarely selectable in game, can only touch them with the toolkit

[subtle bison]

he wasnt able to

[brittle token]

and the hash wasn't stable

[crystal storm]

Yup, its jover

[subtle bison]

hash wouldnt matter here anyway

your best bet is to decompile the map and find the problematic texture in hammer

[brittle token]

i can hide it from the toolkit, but it doesn't stay there in game

[subtle bison]

btw

[crystal storm]

Did you do both hide and ignore? I think hide only hides in the toolkit? or maybe its the other way

[brittle token]

ooh, i only used hidden

[subtle bison]

it still wouldnt work for that case where the mesh hash isnt stable

[brittle token]

tried the ignore one but it didn't seem to affect in the toolkit so i left it off

[subtle bison]

@brittle token try setting this ingane

it will probably remove the texture entirely but it'll stop blocking the window

[brittle token]

well. i suppose it is now an over-engineered blender scene lol

[keen rivet]

i have never seen this setting do anything lmao

[brittle token]

imma try

[subtle bison]

works on gm_funkis

[willow fog]

Looks really good. Map link?

[subtle bison]

i think its "i swear this is brutalism"

im being fr

[willow fog]

Makes sense

[brittle token]

when i get to the menu i'll send it

[subtle bison]

yea thats a weird bug that happens with remix lol

[willow fog]

Kinda reminds me of environments in hitman

[subtle bison]

sometimes the game is frozen when it actually isnt

[brittle token]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3340463989

[willow fog]

Thx

[brittle token]

it's going to be hell with the windows, they seem to be a weird custom shader or something (granted, it looks great on default gmod, but it is a pain in the ass when passing it into rtx remix)

[keen rivet]

what does it even do

[subtle bison]

seems to make remix ignore those cubemap calls altogether

ill demonstrate

[brittle token]

im not sure it's a cubemap on that one, but let's see

[brittle token]

didn't seem to do much sadly

[subtle bison]

rip

i guess it depends on the material

[keen rivet]

I think its really funny how microsoft could never be bothered changing the theme for MDI windows so it's just always windows 7 basic theme

[subtle bison]

windows 7 basic my beloved

[keen rivet]

@subtle bison what theme pack do you use for your windows xp theme lmao

i wonder if windows theming has gotten less shit

[subtle bison]

you may not like the answer

but this shit has been around for like 20 years and never fails me

https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/

[keen rivet]

does it still ruin the OS

[subtle bison]

nope

iirc it does everything in-memory

[keen rivet]

ok so thats huge

[subtle bison]

i can toggle it off as if nothing happened

[keen rivet]

it doesn't ruin the OS

i do like the answer

[subtle bison]

im on windows 11 23H2, no idea if 24H2 breaks anything

[keen rivet]

bro

https://tenor.com/view/flyby-sailby-hms-surprise-surprise-sailby-surprise-flyby-gif-17988391

[subtle bison]

u can probably find it with other ways

i bought it tho lol

its really polished so they deserve my money

[keen rivet]

is it really subscription based

i refuse to buy subscription software

[subtle bison]

guh

mine is perma

did they switch to subscription???

wait

the normal one is paid forever

[quasi blaze]

yeah not after what happened last time when adobe slapped cancellation fees on people trying to cancel the adobe subscription

[subtle bison]

the other one is a subscription

[keen rivet]

oh

[quasi blaze]

that gave me chills bruh

[keen rivet]

I'll play with the trial

install window looks like windows xp too its authentic

[subtle bison]

the software really hasnt changed in a long time lol

[lament quartz]

Sigh I'm need this qwq

[subtle bison]

there is even community-made themes

[quasi blaze]

yeah it kinda is nostalgic

[keen rivet]

Wow it really takes its time to change theme

[brittle token]

here's what it was meant to look like, btw

[keen rivet]

I might try make a vgui green one lmao

[subtle bison]

omfg PLEASE

🙏

[keen rivet]

wtf my taskbar is a window now

[subtle bison]

wdym

[keen rivet]

it has controls

nvm it relaunched

wtf

the aero theme is like

wrong

it doesnt have the glass effect

[lament quartz]

most addons are not working

can i do anything

[subtle bison]

iirc there is another w7 theme that does

[keen rivet]

my system is unbearably slow now

[subtle bison]

do you have a process taking resources?

i dont have any issues on my end

[keen rivet]

nothing i see

[lament quartz]

wich ver are you using

[keen rivet]

download more styles is broken

[subtle bison]

ye i think they use this site

https://winclassic.net/thread/1447/windows-aero-theme-windowsblinds-11

its also broken for me

hopefully its resolved soon

oops

if i have the style downloaded ill share it here

[lament quartz]

why i dont have option to load workshop

[subtle bison]

because the new launcher isnt out yet

[lament quartz]

okay

[keen rivet]

aw dude this is embarresingly incorrect HAHA

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet

i think this is the one from the link i sent

[lament quartz]

so for now addons dont work right?

[subtle bison]

most addons work

what are the specifc issues you're having

[lament quartz]

water psychics models from demo from rtx hl2

[subtle bison]

wha

maybe send a screenshot

[subtle bison]

i meant the issue ingame

[keen rivet]

better, but still doesnt do the correct glass effect

[subtle bison]

rip

idk maybe there are others, sucks that the site is down, its a huge part of the app

[subtle bison]

also if thats one of the offical ones, they have to modify it enough to not be exactly like the OS it's trying to imitate

otherwise would sue them to hell lol

the luna theme is the only one that actually looks like XP

idk how they got away with it

[lament quartz]

the models all are tight that or totaly invisible and water umm idk

[keen rivet]

but it looks like they dont care for windows 8, and classic

[subtle bison]

which win8 one, i see two

the bottom left that looks like early 8, and the middle one thats ass

[keen rivet]

the one that actually looks like windows 8

[keen rivet]

thats 8, not 8.1

[subtle bison]

hm? i said 8

[keen rivet]

it looks like windows 8, but i think you're thinking of 8.1

[subtle bison]

8 and 8.1 are completely flat

they dont have that soft look

[lament quartz]

.

[subtle bison]

i said early 8 as in the developer preview had that look, i should've been more specific

[subtle bison]

workshop link for the viewmodels?

[keen rivet]

it looks like 8 in the original release version i remember seeing laptops when it first came out

[subtle bison]

https://www.theregister.com/2012/08/16/windows_8_rtm_review/

note the missing start button

[lament quartz]

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

[subtle bison]

lmao they're completely invisible for me

these definitely do something weird

[lament quartz]

okay

[subtle bison]

oh @keen rivet

[lament quartz]

any idea about water

[keen rivet]

wtf

that should be fixed

oh

wait no

something else is causing that

[subtle bison]

wait gmod fucks up models sometimes when it reloads addons

[keen rivet]

i think that addon doesn't ship models built for dx8 mode maybe

[subtle bison]

looking at the picture, you have different particle textures that arent marked in the runtime

[lament quartz]

and what i need to fix it

[subtle bison]

look at the resources here if you're not familar with remix
#remix-beginners-guide message

[lament quartz]

If only we could get the Vista startup

[subtle bison]

reboot fixed it

funny enough the replaced viewmodels do not show

its the old ones with new animations lol

even tho im subbed to the addon

[keen rivet]

how does this script work?

[subtle bison]

i didnt make it yet

[keen rivet]

how would it work

[subtle bison]

the idea is to look inside usda files and see if it makes a reference to a filepath for a texture, model etc, if its valid it keeps it, if not, it removes the replacement

you would need the .pkg assets extracted for something like hl2rtx

[subtle bison]

you could probably automate this + the rtxio extraction as a 1st time setup in the launcher

would make it a 1-click process for all users

[lament quartz]

i feel so old looking for coupon codes for this thing

[keen rivet]

i don't think i'll be using extraction personally

i dont want the wasted storage

i'll wait for the multi mod pkg fix

[keen rivet]

my concern was would this be possible to look up inside the pkgs

[subtle bison]

i dont see how, nvidia only offers packaing and extraction, you'd need to make another tool to browse .pkg files

[keen rivet]

how else does the game know where to load files from by their filename

surely its in the rtxio api

[subtle bison]

yeah looking at dxvk-remix would be a good starting point

i dont know if im gonna do all of that, i just want to remove the unused replacements rn lol

one step at time

wait

i had a idea

[keen rivet]

do you wanna make this script as a launcher thing?

i think that would be hella useful

[subtle bison]

yes that was my point

[onyx ridge]

still waiting on the ability to include remix replacements in addons

[subtle bison]

those .usda files wouldnt be packaged with rtxio, so we'd only need to run this process once

[keen rivet]

yeah

[subtle bison]

we can just symlink our own fixed versions of the usda files

[keen rivet]

true

[subtle bison]

😎

[keen rivet]

have you checked out the launcher source code?

does it make sense?

settings are all in here

here's content mounting

[subtle bison]

not extensively

been focused on making a release ready once all of the piece's fall together lol

btw how goes tagging textures

[keen rivet]

havent done any since last night

ill do more in a moment

[subtle bison]

all good no rush

[atomic pagoda]

I am so confused. Why do only some dds files that I extract open up and others just dont?

Does this just mean that I can only access one of the textures for a model and I cant at all for the others?

[subtle bison]

once again, they probably removed these intentionally

oh its from nova prospect

[atomic pagoda]

So I just cant use them at all...

Damn that sucks

I was really looking forward to porting a bunch of these remade assets but I guess these people love to gatekeep files

[subtle bison]

you do realize its a demo right? why would they include everything they've worked on if it's not in a finished state?

[atomic pagoda]

Thats fair

[subtle bison]

just to make sure, you extracted the pkg files correct?

[atomic pagoda]

Yep, pretty sure I did 1 to 11

I know its not finished, but I presume that those are models that are in the game meaning they have textures present for them no?

[subtle bison]

yeah, anything you see in the demo is finished

and i guess the leftover stuff that works in other maps too

[atomic pagoda]

Like the smg model is a complete (obviously not finalized) model but yet it also has these kinds of files

Unless if im in the wrong folder?

I suppose Ill just have to suck it up and wait for them to be released

[subtle bison]

lemme check my folder

[atomic pagoda]

Appreciate it

[subtle bison]

hey do the .dds files without the thumbnails have 0 bytes size?

[atomic pagoda]

Yes

The broken ones

[subtle bison]

uhh something went wrong in your extraction then

[atomic pagoda]

The heck

.\RtxIoResourceExtractor.exe "D:\Steamgames\steamapps\common\Half-Life 2 RTX\rtx-remix\mods\hl2rtx\mod_01.pkg" --force -o .D:\hl2rtx does it seem like something wrong with the command?

[subtle bison]

did you ever do mod_00?

[atomic pagoda]

I did not

Uh oh

[subtle bison]

oh this is my bad

i said _01 in the guide

[atomic pagoda]

I thought the tutorial said 01 to 11

Its ight

I can do it again

[subtle bison]

ty for mentioning it lmao

im fixing it now

[atomic pagoda]

I apoligize for being hostile

[subtle bison]

nah ur fine

[atomic pagoda]

Its not your fault

[subtle bison]

lol but it is, i wrote the guide

[atomic pagoda]

All of us make mistakes

[subtle bison]

ok guide is fixed

yipee

[atomic pagoda]

@subtle bison So to update more textures actually do seem to show up and are openable but there are still a lot of those empty files

Unsure if they are placeholders or not

[subtle bison]

they might be

[earnest yew]

zock on

[atomic pagoda]

I just realized something im doing diffrent, I made my own separete out folder while you put yours in the steam files, maybe thats a reason why too? because on my end I also cant find the smg textures in the folder

[subtle bison]

it doesnt really matter where they go as long as you merge everything back into the hl2rtx mod folder

[atomic pagoda]

I think to be safe ill just change it to that

@subtle bison Are you dragging and dropping the extracted files into the out folder in the hl2rtx files?

[subtle bison]

yes

[atomic pagoda]

Okay good

because even when I change the directory it still pops back in the c drive

[earnest yew]

fuck green normal maps

i hate dat bullshit

[keen rivet]

backing up current config with my latest changes, tagged some css decals, changed some terrain textures from decal type over to terrain type (now we have decal terrain mode)

[runic gale]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=831650445 Not sure if could test the waters on this map

oh and

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2348848028

Great news a the porting worked better and I now have a bunch of hl2rtx assets!

[mint berry]

in gmod?

[atomic pagoda]

Source 2

[mint berry]

oh

[hushed trail]

Even better!

[keen rivet]

remix JUST crashes now i didnt change ANYHTING

[quasi blaze]

Wait a minute what does VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST error mean?

[meager oar]

where u gonna use those assets? in s&box?

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet did you test the new lightupdater system? seems broken for me (i have disabled the old lightupdater system and any handling from fvf)

[meager oar]

is tis your birb

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

[willow fog]

Yes

[meager oar]

mines a brat

[onyx ridge]

have i missed any major developments

(too busy in edinburgh today(

[ocean cipher]

is it possible to play with AMD graphic card

[subtle bison]

sort of

[ocean cipher]

asking for a friend. He played portal 2 once

rtx

with a mod or something idk

[subtle bison]

@winter radish whats the latest way to get optiscaler

or guide rather

[winter radish]

You can download the nightly build and use the setup guide, it’s pretty much the same tho I think they changed some things that makes it easier

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/releases/tag/nightly
https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler?tab=readme-ov-file#automated
@ocean cipher

[keen rivet]

is something culling it?

It was tested

[subtle bison]

i wouldnt know, the old system depended on fvf to not be culled

i tried to hook up the new one to it but i think it being one clientside prop makes things difficult

i added spatial partitioning to the old one and also did something similar to your new one to create less clientside entities

it works pretty well but im working on p2 rtx atm i havent fully tested everything

[ocean cipher]

thanks🙏🙏

[keen rivet]

P2rtx!?! Traitor!!

[loud mural]

Hey @subtle bison and @keen rivet are there any consistent engine crashes you guys get?

[subtle bison]

shaderapidx9 stuff when loading csgo maps sometimes

[keen rivet]

Only the ones I cause

[subtle bison]

but its been working recently

so if we theoretically get rid of culling, wont we run into the old map issues we had on x32?
video is from early 2024

we might need to find a way to disable world rendering without breaking the skybox and keep mwr in place (we can keep engine displacements)

ik mat_forcedynamic fixes this but it absolutely killed performance

[loud mural]

What's mwr again?

[subtle bison]

meshed world renderer

re-renders the whole map with cubic meshes with no culling

[brittle token]

modern warfare remastered

[subtle bison]

no visible difference from the engine and it has 0 performance impact

[loud mural]

We could just increase the vertex limit like we did last time when we lost the patches lol

[subtle bison]

[loud mural]

That wouldn't incur the perf hit forcedynamic had

[subtle bison]

someone did this but it broke the game

https://github.com/BlueAmulet/SourceRTXTweaks/pull/12

[loud mural]

Exactly^

That's what we fucked up we accidently pushed an old patch that didn't work

But I had a .dll that worked

[subtle bison]

👁️

[loud mural]

I don't have it so we are going to need to redo the patch again

No biggie I hope, we will see

[subtle bison]

🙏

[loud mural]

What map is this?

[subtle bison]

wish i knew, the console is blocking the map name

but gm_cosmodrome and "i swear this is brutalism" both had this issue

[loud mural]

Thanks

I am fairly certain that x64 has a higher vertex limit than x86

[subtle bison]

ye i think it does

[lament quartz]

what can i do to make work enchanted water

[willow fog]

The brutalism map is fucked for me

Shader glass

Also @subtle bison does the hdri addon not work with old hashes?

[subtle bison]

i updated it

https://github.com/sambow23/hdri_cube/releases/tag/hdri_editor_0.3

if you want new hashes, go back to 0.2

[lament quartz]

?

[loud mural]

@subtle bison @keen rivet c_frustumcull patch; engine.dll [('4883ec480f10', 0), '31c0c3'],

[keen rivet]

I already made a hook version of that one

LOL

[loud mural]

I'm abouta flip

Alright well what are we missing?

[keen rivet]

It's still good to have as a real patch tho

[keen rivet]

I don't entirely know

Just, culling is still there

that's all I know

[subtle bison]

dont we need one in the client.dll as well?

[earnest yew]

balls

[loud mural]

I'll talk to him about it next time we speak, he went to bed. Either tomorrow or next weekend

[subtle bison]

ty for doing this for us 🙏

[loud mural]

Actually I got lucky. He's doing it for free for us. We've got HDR maps and the shaderapi crash lined up as well for him to fix

[keen rivet]

WHo is this guy and get him in here so i can say HOLY GUACAMOLE THANK YOU

i can pass him my ida files with a few functions i've documented for him if it makes it any easier

[loud mural]

Next time I talk to him I'll mention the server

idk if he will join though, we'll see

[keen rivet]

blueamulet already did that one

[keen rivet]

I suppose we can PR this into blueamulets patches anyways

to fill the missing patch where the todo stands

[loud mural]

Yeah he was cool with that

[compact blaze]

so whats the status report rn for whatevers happening rn?

[keen rivet]

still in culling hell

[meager oar]

is the issue of objects disappearing and appearing also part of the culling issue? like this

[subtle bison]

nah thats something i caused, func entites are being processed in fvf and its breaking rendering of them, they'll be fixed in the next release

[onyx ridge]

is there anything i've missed so far today

[earnest yew]

are we getting 64 bit patches

idk what's happening

[loud mural]

We'll see what happens

Maybi
