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

but it crashes on start up can someone help?

[lament quartz]

what can i do to make work enchanted water

[jade edge]

replace T with C

[earnest yew]

just uninstall reinstall gmod and remove all ur addons

then try

[brittle token]

-# is it normal to hear a ringing bell on a tf2 map? 😨 (chime*)

[mint berry]

qwhats ur gpu?

[lament quartz]

holy

Imagine others cs 1.6 with that

[weary kite]

do custom texture mods not work anymore? the only one that works is the water one that comes pre packaged for me

[hollow marten]

GMOD MACHINIMA's Quiet Place is coming out soon! IN ALEX Studio

[echo surge]

RTX 4080

[echo surge]

oh tryed to launch it on steam not the GarrysModRTX.exe

[meager oar]

why does neural radiance cause this? even in transformer model if u go close to the textures u see those weird things

oh it was this setting causing that

[jade edge]

[cobalt hazel]

what do i do when the rtx remix menu doesnt work and the raytracing is just not there

[willow fog]

Sit down. And think about what series of events in your life lead you to this very point

Cry

[cobalt hazel]

fuck you

[meager oar]

why u bully people 😭

[willow fog]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[split geode]

Where can I download this new gmodRTX launcher with mounting feature?
(I'm the guy from the comments, but with a different avatar icon)

[subtle bison]

its not out yet

[split geode]

it's not available for download yet?

[meager oar]

yus

[brittle token]

anyway to stop the sun from dissapearing when moving the camera to certain angles?

i think it might be getting culled, maybe the piece of world that it is attached to is getting culled, and thus the light does too

oh, and, if anyone knows, how (or if it's possible) to replace the skybox?

[valid elbow]

Are you using rtx remix fixes v2?

Try to enable mesh world render

[brittle token]

im using this one

[subtle bison]

some maps put the light_environment in weird places that causes it to be culled

there is a few ways to handle this, but it might not fix it

[brittle token]

in which tab was it?

[subtle bison]

its nothing that remix can fix

one sec

[brittle token]

darn

[subtle bison]

you can try adjusting these 2 values to a higher level and see if it prevents culling

it might work, it might kill performance, and it might not work

if this doesnt work, you can use HDRI skyboxes instead
https://github.com/sambow23/hdri_cube

download the 0.2 release if you're using 0.6.0 of remix fixes 2

[keen rivet]

It's In the repo for rtx fixes 2

I might move it into its own repo because it would be still useful for 32 bit installs

[brittle token]

interesting, never noticed there were rtx options outside of alt-x

[subtle bison]

they're addons to the game to make it more "remix friendly", they dont interact with remix themselves

[keen rivet]

I'll state now you guys have permission to package it with your easy install kits

[onyx ridge]

one day remix api lights will make a return....

[brittle token]

oh damn

it fixed itself there, but still weird lol

[subtle bison]

not by me, no amount of claude is gonna get that working 💀

[split geode]

MvM in rtx?! 0-0 WTF

[brittle token]

if you have tf2 installed you can try open it's maps in gmod rtx

[lament quartz]

Gmod Addons have changes - remounting how to fix it after this message my game crashes

[lament quartz]

Sup yall

Do we got like

Rtx remix for the Half life Resized maps?

[distant crystal]

Not too sure what half life resized maps are, is that like a workshop map that stitches the half life maps together?

[keen rivet]

@subtle bison

[subtle bison]

done

[keen rivet]

invited you to RTX Launcher repo

[lament quartz]

Just half life source maps for Gmod

[subtle bison]

these work but iirc some entities use weird materials that dont render correctly in remix

[lament quartz]

Heya

[subtle bison]

same goes for the hl source itself with remix

[lament quartz]

Im trying to install hl2 rtx assets

but

for some reason

RtxIoResourceExtractor dont

open

[keen rivet]

cleaning up the gitignore too

you can ignore entire folders if you didnt know lmao

[subtle bison]

my dumbass probably didnt even bother to check

[subtle bison]

lol just by the file names ik that is from whenever i first started

i think this was for the lua menu and i copied entire folders instead of the individual ones i needed

[earnest yew]

yummy

[lament quartz]

smash or pass hands

[keen rivet]

gmod exe priority

idk why i wanted it to be a function like that just felt like it

looks nice and easy to edit

[earnest yew]

hl1 in gmod runs fanstastic

full resolution on my 3060 is so yummy

lawd have mercy

[subtle bison]

looks great

[willow fog]

Got damn

Auto updates, my beloved

[subtle bison]

so does the install button just automate everything now?

[keen rivet]

thats for launcher updates, the installer system is gonna be its own tab, where you can pick between installing the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version

[subtle bison]

cool

ill hold off on pushing a update for now then

[keen rivet]

nah you can push it, I don't think the installer will be done that quickly

I reckon I'll include "Install sources"

which will allow you to install from either skurty's easy install, or the gmodx64 project install

[subtle bison]

If that's the case, we'll need to make unified archive types, and maybe integrate blueamulet's patcher into the main launcher for both

[keen rivet]

yeah

i'll design up the UI i want for it then figure out the logisitics afterwards

[keen rivet]

Ok so I'm thinking, I want to make gmod-rtx-fixes 2 32 bit compatible, and just don't load the binary module in the 32 bit version

[earnest yew]

Thumbs Up

[subtle bison]

yep that sounds good to me

i might need to refactor my custom render stuff to not load for 32-bit as well

[keen rivet]

I got a pretty cool idea for the installation stuff

What does everyone think about saving space with symlinked gmod files

Like linked garrysmod.vpk and stuff

Not configs tho

[subtle bison]

ye sounds good, but we do need the client/server.vdf's for setting cvars with buggy addons
maybe we can insert or replace lines in existing ones?

[keen rivet]

maybe

[distant crystal]

My only issue with symlinking is not everyone understands that yet, I had no idea it was a thing until I got into remix. Might add to the confusion but really what about remix isn't confusing at this point lol

[keen rivet]

oh itll all be behind the scenes

[distant crystal]

Hopefully but the moment something breaks and it needs to be touched prepare for a million people going "how do I do dis?"

[subtle bison]

i believe we can have the launcher check for these kind of situations and let the user know

such as moving the game to a different drive, missing files, etc

[keen rivet]

ok i present the first prototype

[meager oar]

gib

[keen rivet]

it doesnt function yet LOL

easy one click install button

[keen rivet]

ok I want everyone to test something for me, this launcher doesn't install yet but I just want to see if it detects the install properly for everyone.

@modern quest can I upload an exe here? Is that allowed?

[keen rivet]

Gah screw it, I'm a rebel
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/25f56c3e59f88a20f60d7f5cbb583721ad05eecd748bd4cfe65df5ef69941c9d/detection

[subtle bison]

virus time 😊

[keen rivet]

just open that and tell me if the vanilla install type and install path is auto detected properly

[subtle bison]

🙂

[keen rivet]

WHY IS THERE A LINK THERE

[modern quest]

yeah, sorry for the delay. just make sure you attach a virustotal link for it

[keen rivet]

What? but thatll show everyone that its a virus

[subtle bison]

might wanna remove my fork, its not really meant for production lol

[keen rivet]

oh lol ok

[keen rivet]

lmao

its not in use lol

[subtle bison]

also for remix version, we should probably only use that for x32
x64 requires a special runtime since we do not use the remix bridge

[keen rivet]

its just the runtime without bridge

[subtle bison]

i do have a dxvk-remix-gmod repo if you do want to include it

[keen rivet]

i'll handle that in install

you copy the contents of .trex folder into win64

[subtle bison]

nah i mean we have custom API functions to fix issues that come without having a bridge

like a flickering mouse cursor when moving around ingame, properly locking input when the remix menu is open

[keen rivet]

Ohhh ok yeah i'll have an option to use the 64 bit then one

[earnest yew]

i hate smart people

you should...

explode...

[keen rivet]

WHAT

IM ADDING AN EASY INSTALL

WHATS WRONG

deleting the easy install button

[earnest yew]

[keen rivet]

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/25f56c3e59f88a20f60d7f5cbb583721ad05eecd748bd4cfe65df5ef69941c9d/detection

[earnest yew]

oop

9 billioon trojans

[keen rivet]

awesome 9 billion only means it detected only 5% of them

[earnest yew]

i gotta learn how to make programs that arent python scripts hidden as executables

[keen rivet]

does it show more of the path if you resize the window

[subtle bison]

didnt even think about doing that lol, but yeah it does

[keen rivet]

awesome so it detects that properly

[earnest yew]

make a uninstall option

its not that hard

[keen rivet]

the non XP font is making me angry here does this use your system font properly lmao

[subtle bison]

ah yes C:\\Program Files

works a bit if its stretched

[keen rivet]

OH i know what its doing

[subtle bison]

installing 9 billion viruses?

🤭

[keen rivet]

i mean aside from that

[keen rivet]

does this stop cutting it off there?

[earnest yew]

bank account

MINE!!!

[subtle bison]

nada

[keen rivet]

wtf

[earnest yew]

add uninstall feature

[keen rivet]

here

[keen rivet]

thats just called deleting the install folder

[subtle bison]

nice try

[keen rivet]

WHAT!

[subtle bison]

fr tho, no changes

[earnest yew]

i dont see a button

[keen rivet]

WHAT THE FUCK

[winter radish]

That’s obviously a virus

[subtle bison]

fr

[keen rivet]

here's the size of the clone install

yep it all opens

[subtle bison]

yipee

[meager oar]

yay

[loud mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9tt-efzhxY

I have no idea what is causing this but it's quite pretty

[subtle bison]

woah

[keen rivet]

ok guys give this a whirl

[lapis pewter]

i was getting that on lights in another game, it went away after i messed with settings, so not sure what caused it. maybe dlss model?

[crystal storm]

https://tenor.com/view/hackers-jonny-lee-miller-crash-override-gif-26342973

[keen rivet]

place it in a new EMPTY DIRECTORY!

cooking

[quiet scroll]

I'm so fucking glad I waited to update my gmod lmao

Just gunna clean install when this is all cooked

[keen rivet]

Xenthio is BACK and gmod rtx is not quite saved but certainly will be more convenient

why invalid

[meager oar]

gwater 2 👀

[keen rivet]

ok that works

[modern quest]

when you're finished developing it, would you mind publishing the source code?

[keen rivet]

yeah its already half published

why do you ask

[modern quest]

just wanted to look at how you're managing this. i'd like to make a pretty simple GUI at some point that lets you manage Remix installations across games, including identifying the current build installed

[keen rivet]

it's just C# windows forms, so its not very cross platform

and ive vaguely been keeping in mind that i might want to expand this into a launcher for any game lol.

[modern quest]

it's better if someone other than me does it tbh

but it'd be awesome to have

[keen rivet]

you think? nothing stopping you from trying anyways lol

[modern quest]

my main coding knowledge is in python, and python is definitely not the best for this application lol

so clunky for this type of file management

i could try it. might try Rust for it

[keen rivet]

C# is nice

not a fan of rust

but c# is VERY nice

like super duper nice

[modern quest]

the remix downloader in #remix-beginners-guide was made with Rust. massive improvement over the Python version imo, and a lot easier to maintain

but i haven't tried GUIs in Rust

will take a look at C#

[quasi blaze]

THESE buttons aren't working

it doesen't do anything

[keen rivet]

yeah they arent meant to in that version

that version was a test to let me know if it picked up your gmod install location

which btw let me know if it does lol

the functional launcher is almost done

[quasi blaze]

oh yeah it does seem correct

[keen rivet]

nice

[quasi blaze]

also has VRMOD ever been tested within RTX remix?

[keen rivet]

yeah i tried, doesnt work

[quasi blaze]

also when are we ever gonna be able to enhance playermodels in RTX remix?

[keen rivet]

dunno

[quasi blaze]

could you guess my specs?

it'll give you the reason why i can't use RTX remix

[keen rivet]

amd card? or non rtx card?

[quasi blaze]

wrong guess it's a 4 gigs GTX 1650

[keen rivet]

i used to have a 1660 super

lol

[quasi blaze]

i knew i shouldn't have let my parent decide my specs

[quasi blaze]

@keen rivet my career on game dev and animation was supposed to be my priority but because of that i am signficantly and technically limited

[keen rivet]

OK ARE WE READY FOR THE MOMENT IM GONNA RUN ALL OF THE INSTALL PROCESS AND SEE IF IT WORKS

WOOO FUCKING HOOOOOOOOOO

[quasi blaze]

i''m gonna test it by the time i get specs that is ready for RTX

pretty good plan right?

[keen rivet]

alright

[livid rapids]

looking like a w7 control panel option

Love it

Fuck you metro design

And material design

[keen rivet]

i like the windows 11 design tho

ok for anyone wanting to make an install package / fixes package
make a git repository and contact me to get it in the list, and make releases that end with -launcher.zip (if all your zips are launcher compatible, tell me i'll add your repo to the exception list)
create a zip in which the root of the zip is files you want extracted over the root of the install
you can do thing like have a file in the root named .launcherignore, formatted like a gitignore to ignore files you dont want the launcher to have.

here's the default hardcoded .launcherignore, its always active.

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/c55a147298b8f12cdd7bc049f83add2ac89f69267d25c9aaedadce8f573afaac?nocache=1

everyone, have at it.
it should install a working copy of gmod with rtx.

i like how in virus total, you can see the sandbox analyser go through and click all the checkboxes lmao

[quasi blaze]

the launcher works properly

but my GPU isn't prepared

so i am not gonna launch the game

[quasi blaze]

also btw you have included this into the content mounting too? https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1323392798963142788

[keen rivet]

included what

[quasi blaze]

left 4 DEAD 2 RTX

[keen rivet]

oh, is that on, or going to be on steam?

[quasi blaze]

someone managed to make RTX remix work on that game

you should've known about that

[keen rivet]

yeah i know about it, but right now content mounting is only really designed for anything in steam folders

[quasi blaze]

also can we go to the offtopic channel for a second before we come back here?

i wanna tell something

[keen rivet]

uhh sure?

[keen rivet]

@subtle bison pinging you with this because useful info

[keen rivet]

for anyone wanting to have custom patches listed.
you just need a github repository and a file of any kind (txt, py) somewhere in it containing the patches
I made it so its able to parse the python definitions in blueamulet's applypatch.py
so you just need 2 tables ( patches32 = {} and patches64 = {} ) in the same format that blueamulet's python script accepts.

[keen rivet]

@subtle bison can the releases for this be uploaded like they are for the rtx-remix repo?

as in, only include the dxvk-remix?

just like this is, .trex and everything if possible

its so i can do this

[lapis delta]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3450250071
can anybody check this map please?

[keen rivet]

here you go :D

[smoky otter]

There's an automatic installer now?!

[keen rivet]

BEHOLD

it takes only a minute

here's the final iteration of the install tab

Here's I think what I'm gonna call 1.0

https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXLauncher/releases/tag/v1.0

[earnest yew]

https://tenor.com/view/gosling-rayan-gosling-smile-drive-movie-movie-gif-20381408

[smoky otter]

Do you have to still ignore some textures after launch

Or is it all set up already

[keen rivet]

for now, those should be setup for you when the next rtx-fixes-2 version comes out i think

someone said add an rtx reflection

so i did

[keen rivet]

oh how far we've come

[meager oar]

dayum there's even a launch options box

[thorny crag]

you just download this and put it in an empty new directory right?

[keen rivet]

indeed you do

[thorny crag]

for some reason it doesn't start for me

[keen rivet]

[thorny crag]

it just runs in the background and stops

[keen rivet]

err

maybe you need to install .NET 8.0 runtime?

[thorny crag]

hmm

[keen rivet]

windows should just install that automatically when an app tries to use it

[thorny crag]

shouldn't i get a notification if i dont have it and the app needs it

ok wait

[keen rivet]

yeah

wrong one

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-8.0.14-windows-x64-installer

there

[thorny crag]

damn

it's still not starting

[keen rivet]

anything in event viewer?

[thorny crag]

hmm

[keen rivet]

ok thanks

Oh okay i see i think

[keen rivet]

here, I cooked up this new one for you

[thorny crag]

what was the problem?

[keen rivet]

it was erroring out when gmod wasn't found

[thorny crag]

the only thing i thought after seeing path 1 was someting directory related

oh yeah, ok

thanks

[keen rivet]

Do you have gmod installed?

[keen rivet]

@thorny crag

[thorny crag]

yep

it's just that my main steam folder is in the D directory

[keen rivet]

OHHHHHHHHHHH

FUCK

i need to account for that

[thorny crag]

so steam apps is in steam 💀

figured so lmao

[keen rivet]

lemme see if i can fetch that

[thorny crag]

i've had to troubleshoot so many things because of that

even hammer couldnt recognise the gameinfo file in gmod itself

i had to create a seperate folder to get it to work

[keen rivet]

here try this

[thorny crag]

yep, it detected it

[keen rivet]

smell yeah

[thorny crag]

if i were to put this in the install directory would it break?

or does it strictly have to be in an empty directory

[keen rivet]

in like, an existing gmod rtx install?

it should be fine

[subtle bison]

yeah, might be a bit

[keen rivet]

https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXLauncher/releases/tag/v1.0.2

should work now if you have crazy steam

[compact blaze]

Ooo what’s that updated chat box?

[keen rivet]

@@@@CR @@ @subtle bison @@@@@@@@@@cr@cr @subtle bison

[thorny crag]

for the blue amulet patch, i need python installed yeah?

[keen rivet]

not for the one built into the launcher

[thorny crag]

that's odd

[keen rivet]

i made it parse the python file's dictionary into c#

[thorny crag]

because it fails to patch 💀

[keen rivet]

post log pls

or error

[thorny crag]

wait let me screenshot the lgo

[keen rivet]

are your files already patched?

[subtle bison]

i jus woke up

[keen rivet]

GOOD MORNING

MIRACLE PERFORMED OVERNIGHT

[subtle bison]

of course

its always overnight

[thorny crag]

well the install is a clean install after a drag and drop from the 0.6 repo

[compact blaze]

💔

[keen rivet]

probably already patched then

you can use the Update Install function to copy the unpatched dlls back in to patch again if you want

[subtle bison]

0.6 has prepatched binaries, probably need to get rid of them next release

[thorny crag]

ok ok

[keen rivet]

lucky i added such thing as .launcherignore

[thorny crag]

what about the other patch option is there like any difference

[keen rivet]

no the other one is old and only there to test multiple repos

[thorny crag]

ait

[keen rivet]

it says so in the name

Xenthio/SourceRTXTweaks (outdated, here to test multiple repos)

[thorny crag]

hhh

the outdated got clipped

i think it's just because i didnt make the ui larger

[keen rivet]

yeah lmao running out of space on the window for everything

oh resizing it right now is useless

[thorny crag]

incredible

[keen rivet]

the launcher update doesnt do anything right now either LOL

neither does this checkbox i forgot to hook it up

honestly this feature is huge

[compact blaze]

What is this feature for

[keen rivet]

You can update your gmod files from your vanilla install

so when gmod gets an update

[thorny crag]

alright so i tried the update thing

[keen rivet]

Updating your gmod rtx doesn't suck

[thorny crag]

i have to repatch, do i/

[keen rivet]

Ya

[thorny crag]

everything worked except for the material system

[keen rivet]

Material system probably didn't change

[thorny crag]

true

how much less stable is rtx 1.0 compared to the one custom built for this

[compact blaze]

So all it is is just copying over the gmod files from ur vanilla install into ur gmod rtx folder

[keen rivet]

It shows you all the changed ones, and let's you pick

[keen rivet]

I think it just fixes the mouse not locking when you press alt+x

[compact blaze]

What if I changed the gmod rtx to be very specific inside the gmod folder, like with a unique list of settings and addons enabled, would that just reset back to what it was like in the vanilla install

[keen rivet]

You can uncheck what you don't want copied

[compact blaze]

Mhm ofc

[keen rivet]

See

It's a file tree so you can drop down

[subtle bison]

that's still broken

it kinda fixed mouse flickering but not completely

[keen rivet]

No he's asking what the custom one does

[subtle bison]

oh

[thorny crag]

damn, does the installer change the values in autoexec?

[keen rivet]

shouldnt unless the fixes package does

[compact blaze]

Pls Mr xenthio where did you get that updated chat box from

[keen rivet]

there you go

[keen rivet]

uhhhhh

its from a ttt server collection

Ty

[keen rivet]

ok i goto bed now

scream at me if anything is broken

ill see it in the morning

[compact blaze]

Goodnight

[keen rivet]

Btw, with the launcher you can easily create a fully functional 32bit install right now, just make sure you use Xenthio/RTXFixes instead of Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2

The final file size of my working install was under a gigabyte

due to the symlinking stuff

damn dude i forgot how much the 32bit version just fucking works

i know i said i was going to bed but i lied

[keen rivet]

why am i still awake i cant stop coding

[quasi blaze]

How much energy do you still even have?

[keen rivet]

i dont feel tired

[thorny crag]

underwater effects when

Me too bruh

I'm not even experiencing any headaches

[meager oar]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1957565453&searchtext=RAVENHOLM this map will look dope with hl2 rtx assets

i think has the whole town in just 1 map

[meager oar]

it does wrk for me but some parts of the map cause big stutters

[atomic kestrel]

I get this error when launching the game.

[subtle bison]

it runs ok for me but it does stutter a lil bit, this is most likey due to fvf not handling large entity counts well.
I'm working on addressing this with a more async solution

but hey this map probably works fine on x32

[subtle bison]

looks like your game is corrupted

[atomic kestrel]

I managed to get it to "work", but it just crashes immediately on the loading screen.

[subtle bison]

how did you install the mod?

[atomic kestrel]

I made a new folder and used the "Create RTX Install Here", then installed remix 1.0.0, then applied the "Xenthio/SourceRTXTweaks" patch and then the fiexes package "RTXFixes v1.2 [Launcher]". Are there steps that I'm missing?

[keen rivet]

did files fail to copy wtf

[atomic kestrel]

Yes, I fixed it by updating the files, but now it just crashes on the loading screen.

[subtle bison]

are you installing for x32 or x64?

[atomic kestrel]

x32

[subtle bison]

i havent dabbled too much with the launcher or x32 myself, but it sounds like one of the game dlls isnt properly getting patched

either materialsystem.dll or shaderapidx9.dll

[atomic kestrel]

It seems that it's the materialsystem.dll.

[subtle bison]

gotcha

sourcertxtweaks might need its patches updated

[atomic kestrel]

Ok, so when using the BlueAmulet patch, that does replace the materialsystem.dll, but the Xenthio one doesn't.

[subtle bison]

ah

[atomic kestrel]

That was indeed the issue, because now I got to the main menu.

[keen rivet]

model loading patches are finally painfully in 32 bit

featuring:

ok goodnight for real this time.

32bit version of rtx-remix-fixes-2 seems usable now

[keen rivet]

@subtle bison just pinging you to let you know.

[subtle bison]

done

working on getting everything else launcher compatible

seems to work

ill need to push a 0.6.5 for full launcher compatibility since the binary module in 0.6.0 does not share the same remix api headers as the new remix build

[meager oar]

da heck is wrong with the textures in this map

only happens in stalker maps for some reason

[subtle bison]

ofc stalker maps only

💀

[atomic kestrel]

I got it to work! But I have a black screen. Edit: Never mind I got it to work finally!

[subtle bison]

0.6.5 is live for rtx fixes 2 x64
fully compatible with the new launcher with these settings, the quick install does not work properly atm

also i need to PR a change for blueamulet patches for a broken materialsystem.dll patch for x64, so the replaced engine binaries are still included for now

[turbid barn]

So rtx mods using new hashes will no longer work?

What was the point moving to new hashes system, if we already had many rtx mods

[subtle bison]

because we thought hl2rtx and other games would move to it, but they did not

there are more old hash mods than new hash as well, if you still want to use the new hashes with future updates, copy the rtx.conf from a older release

[turbid barn]

Okay, makes sense

btw, do i need to delete remix-binary folder?

[subtle bison]

i would do an entirely new install with the launcher, manual install is not supported anymore

I have not updated the readme for install instructions, but the new steps are incredibly easy.
https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXLauncher/releases/tag/v1.0.2
download the new launcher, put it in a seperate folder, then follow the picture here

[turbid barn]

what's the differencde?

Official one is set by default

[subtle bison]

the gmod one has specific fixes for x64, the normal runtime will not work

[subtle bison]

its set to default as x32 works with the normal one most likely

[subtle bison]

the one selected is the right one

i think it defaults to the newest which is always preferrable

[turbid barn]

Readme is needed so far

[subtle bison]

it might be easier to fix the defaults in the launcher when doing the quick install

[turbid barn]

hm, quick install installs official remix

not for gmod

[subtle bison]

ye thats what im talking about

you can just reinstall the gmod remix again

it wont break anything

@keen rivet newest launcher does not detect my hl2rtx install

[turbid barn]

Mine detects hl2rtx (installed) and PortalRTX (Not installed but shows as available)

[subtle bison]

i think it might be a drive query issue

hl2rtx lives on a different steam folder than the portal games for me

[quartz glacier]

Yeah, same for me, just needs updating to check other drives.

[hushed trail]

Tried to follow the highlighted steps in the image on a fresh install twice. I must have messed something up.

[turbid barn]

hm

my coolers started working loudly

GPU is usually 65-70

[lapis delta]

i wish this could be repeated with remix

[subtle bison]

this looks like an issue with the symlink process

[turbid barn]

Okay ig it's shader compilation

but it was never happened to me before

[subtle bison]

might wanna ask xenthio

[subtle bison]

its part of the new remix runtime

[subtle bison]

ye this is an issue with hl2rtx assets itself

they dont include every asset even if they replaced it, causing grey textures

[turbid barn]

weapons neither

[subtle bison]

weapons wont get replaced, they're skinned assets

something that will probably never get fixed

[half viper]

Aaa idk how king david got it working

For dark Messiah

[subtle bison]

king david does some black magic

[half viper]

I might have a small idea

Lets abduct king david

[subtle bison]

mmm yes i like your words funny man

[potent agate]

I guess gmod doesn't exist lol

[compact blaze]

Is dark messiah 64 bit?

[subtle bison]

32-bit

[subtle bison]

try expanding the window

if it still doesnt show, just give xenthio the 'ol @ 🙂

[subtle bison]

maybe put the gmod install on the C:\ drive and also put the launcher in its own folder seperately

its not meant to be in your vanilla install or legacy gmod rtx install folder

[potent agate]

I see

[compact blaze]

So wouldn’t them getting gpu skinning to work just copying over some code from portal rtx DLLs

Kinda like how I’m guessing the 32 bit source engine patches work

[subtle bison]

no, might and magic uses a WAY older engine of source

like 2 decades

yipeee the stuff works

[potent agate]

guessing that these also need to be in C:

[compact blaze]

Why not ask king David for it, I’m sure he’s be willing to at least explain where he figured out to do that

[subtle bison]

the grass assets are ustable on x64 due to culling from the displacement

[subtle bison]

yep

[potent agate]

A real shame since I don't have the storage to put them there

[subtle bison]

i sylmlinked my folders to the C:\ drive which works but i wouldnt recommend it

[distant crystal]

He was very helpful in giving me some tips on finding the culling stuff in SiN Epsiodes (also a very old source engine build) Not sure if he wants to get his feet wet with Gmod but he's definitely a wealth of knowledge when it comes to REing parts of the engine

[compact blaze]

I don’t mean like forcing him to become a 24/7 gmod rtx dev

Just asking David how he got gpu skinning working and go off of that

[distant crystal]

Yeah i mean like compared to working on the older engines it may be more complicated or entirely different to what the Dark Messiah source build is doing

[meager oar]

do the assets wrk in this map https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1957565453&searchtext=ravenholm

[subtle bison]

ill try in a sec

so far, yes 😎

lgihts are very buggy on this map though

[keen rivet]

it searches all drives

where are they installed for you

and where is steam installed

[subtle bison]

it doesnt seem to search other steam libraries

like on a E:\ drive for example

[hushed trail]

Any specific reason the blade itself isn't being replaced?

[keen rivet]

it should

it grabs all libraries from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\libraryfolders.vdf

[meager oar]

about the new launcher do i need to put it in a completely separate empty folder and let it install stuff there?

[keen rivet]

you can put it into an existing gmodrtx install

[compact blaze]

Skinned mesh ig since a physics object

And for some reason most if not anything that is a physics prop is gpu skinned

[hushed trail]

Oh I see, I forgot about the moving physics props not being stable.

[meager oar]

oh, yea i tried to put it as a separate install but kept getting this error

[compact blaze]

The day someone figures out gpu skinning on gmod will be a game changer

[keen rivet]

can you send me your install log

[meager oar]

this?

[compact blaze]

Maybe it’s cause ur path has a space in it?

Ik windows does poorly with that

[keen rivet]

nah like, when you create the install, it has a giant green console window

send the log of creating the RTX Install

you can probably use update install to fill in missing life too

[winter radish]

When can I get this

[potent agate]

yeah it only seems to detect it when in the C drive

[keen rivet]

@subtle bison can you upload a version of this with the 32bit module

[keen rivet]

https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXLauncher/releases/tag/v1.0.3 does this fix that

[keen rivet]

also, my lightupdater works great on 32 bit

[potent agate]

Yep seems to have fixed it

um

[keen rivet]

can you show me details

click details

[potent agate]

can't fit on the screen lol

can't enlarge either

[keen rivet]

whats in the rtx-remix\mods folder

does it exist

[potent agate]

no

[keen rivet]

oh well that explains

lemme make it create that

[keen rivet]

try this version

[subtle bison]

in a bit
can you make the launcher default to the gmod-specific remix build for quick install when it detects x64? it currently downloads normal remix

[winter radish]

Lol, it's picking up the P2 RTX Steam build

[keen rivet]

i know, ;) i added that

[potent agate]

seems to work

the game seems to just close after a few seconds though

[keen rivet]

damn

https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXLauncher/releases/tag/v1.0.4

[potent agate]

ah this is the same issue with hl2 and portal rtx on my pc
but the difference the is game launches

[keen rivet]

ive been banned from github LMAO

[potent agate]

the true rtx remix experience

not sure how I fix that

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/releases/tag/gmrtx_0.6.5
(edit: changed the tag)

i havent tested it but i removed all x64 related stuff

[potent agate]

it works fine on 0.6.0 for rtx remix fixes

[keen rivet]

oh can they not go in the same thing

[subtle bison]

for reasons with the launcher or administrative?

[steel lark]

is it time to delete my whole install again?

[potent agate]

these settings work but any other causes the same issue as portal/hl2 rtx, very interesting

[keen rivet]

launcher

[subtle bison]

so do you just want me to send the archive?

[keen rivet]

like just have the 32 and 64 bit archives the same

you can do
if (BRANCH == "x86-64" or BRANCH == "chromium" ) then
in lua to make things branch specific

[steel lark]

wait do we need to go back to 32 bit for the hl2 rtx demo assets?

[keen rivet]

i would make my lightupdater 32 bit specific, and then yours 64 bit specfici

[keen rivet]

no

[subtle bison]

ah, my stuff hasnt been merged to the repo so it will be a bit

i got some other things to do as well

[keen rivet]

yah i renamed rtx_lightupdater to rtx_lightupdater_old so you can slide your new one in

[subtle bison]

ye i saw, i havent pulled upstream just yet

[potent agate]

did it just not work?

[subtle bison]

are any of the assets loading?

[potent agate]

doesn't seem like it

[subtle bison]

ah right the .pkg issue

uhh follow the pinned guide to manually extract them

or remove other rtx mods except for hl2-rtx

its a bug with remix

[potent agate]

Ah yeah, forgot about that

[winter radish]

It looked like this for me too but individual things like barrels and saw blades were enhanced

[potent agate]

I opened the spawn menu and it crashed lol

well that's a bit better, the sky and some objects are still not right but hey it works mostly

[keen rivet]

https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXLauncher/releases/tag/v1.0.5

now you wont get fucked by github rate limits

[earnest yew]

ignore the weird grass

it causes mass lag

[potent agate]

even with it hidden I still lag like crazy lol

[earnest yew]

lol!

[potent agate]

well it's more like huge lag spikes

but still

[subtle bison]

weird, perf wasnt that bad for me, just had high vram usage

[earnest yew]

are we slow?

[keen rivet]

@subtle bison did you build the 32 bit binary?

[potent agate]

this kind of lag

[earnest yew]

lol!

[subtle bison]

yes, i put it in the 32-bit archive i removed since i wasn't clear what the implementation plan was at the time, ill include it once i get everything else fixed

[keen rivet]

alright

[potent agate]

normal maps are fine though

weird

[keen rivet]

how well does that mounting work btw lmao

also can i get a steam key LOL

[potent agate]

I will say though that with dlss quality my fps usually above 60 without frame gen

not bad

[subtle bison]

transformers dlss causes this

[potent agate]

I see

damn, no colored light

the indirect lighting though is colored

[subtle bison]

this can be fixed by setting the replacement material to Thin Walled

but you lose refraction

[potent agate]

you win some you lose some I suppose

seems like dupes have working colored lights?
because the default ones you can spawn in are always white

[earnest yew]

lol

[subtle bison]

i think lamps work fine but i believe normal lights are bugged

im not sure when it happened but i noticed it too, but i havent looked into it

[potent agate]

I tried lamps and they have the same issue

[subtle bison]

huh

[potent agate]

oh it seems random, I spawned two in the first was white and the second was colored

and now they're all colored

idk

I take it back

[subtle bison]

[potent agate]

I'm getting epicly trolled

[winter radish]

It didn't work 😅
I'll get you a Developer comp key

[subtle bison]

is this x64 or x32

[potent agate]

x64

[subtle bison]

i dont think it matters since they share the same modifications for lights but who knows

[potent agate]

I can't get it to break anymore, maybe it was just a gmod issue

[subtle bison]

gmod when anything:

https://tenor.com/view/house-explosion-explode-boom-kaboom-gif-19506150

[potent agate]

and it didn't like detect the value change or something idk lol

[earnest yew]

why is the newest version fucked

on new install is insta crashes

[subtle bison]

@potent agate i am the cause

ofc my driver crashes the moment i try to send a video

[potent agate]

classic

[subtle bison]

not sure when this bug got introduced, but fvf is somehow resetting light colors lmfao

[potent agate]

lol

[subtle bison]

once i push the x32 stuff, ill work on fixing it

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-yes-sir-yayy-kataman-gif-12260883688244422951

Full Changelog: https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXLauncher/compare/v1.1.0...v1.2.0

ai generated example lmao

[steel lark]

hl2rtx + cssrtx = gmodrtx 🤑

@subtle bison option to enable skybox in the launcher?

[subtle bison]

ye i dont see why not

@keen rivet any issues with the 3dsky on x32?

would be easier to just force it on

since it works 99% of the time on x64

[keen rivet]

yeah it overlaps geometry

[subtle bison]

ah right

[keen rivet]

look at gm_construct and see

[subtle bison]

yeah ur talking about the hallway in the main building

i remember

so maybe leave a warning in the launcher?

x64 already has one ingame for other reasons but I could remove that

[steel lark]

oops

[subtle bison]

i can add it myself later if need be, i need to start looking at the code for the launcher lol

[steel lark]

gm_poolrooms still brokne

i mean the water still is broken

[subtle bison]

did i ask for a workshop link last time, i genuinely dont remember

[steel lark]

i think so

wait

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2849511871

uh? ok

[subtle bison]

subscribed

now i wont forget (probably)

[weary kite]

im following this guide but nothing gets put in the "out" folder in rtxio

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/wiki/Using-HL2-RTX-Assets-in-Garry's-Mod-RTX

[subtle bison]

send the whole command used in cmd and a screenshot of the directory rtxio is in

[weary kite]

wait hold on im in the wrong folder i think

nvm not there either

.\RtxIoResourceExtractor.exe "K:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Half-Life 2 RTX\rtx-remix\mods\hl2rtx\mod_11.pkg" --force -O .\out

[subtle bison]

probably need to change the -O to -o , it might be case sensitive

[weary kite]

changed it to lowercase and theres still nothing here

thats what the command results with idk if that matters

[subtle bison]

looks like it works, did you create a out folder inside that directory where your cmd prompt is?

[split geode]

But if use addon from workshop with weapons from hl2rtx, will it work? Or rtx reflections on weapons won't work?

[subtle bison]

no, these are ported so the hashes wouldnt match anyway

i tried this addon myself already, the viewmodels dont load for some reason, so i have the old hl2 weapons with the new animations/particles lol

you can try it but i dont think it works correctly

[split geode]

oh(

[keen rivet]

Lmao.

i fucked up, the self updater didnt work at ALL lmao

[weary kite]

yeah i did

like that?

[subtle bison]

ye, but it looks like the assets extracted inside your actual rtxio folder (the assets and skybox folder)

[weary kite]

yeah thats what seemed odd to me

so idk how i'd do step 5 now

wait somehow its here now

ok let me just run the commands again and i should have it from here

[steel lark]

me when uh

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet hey im working on a updated x64 materialsystem patch so i can stop including patched binaries, after that's done, I can push the unified release

[steel lark]

me when my rtx is rtxing

[keen rivet]

hell yeah

[subtle bison]

i accidentally pushed the lua stuff to the main repo so that's there lol

i tested the x64 side, nothing x32 loads which is good

no idea about the other way around

i did add checks for all files that would interfere

so it should work fine on x32

[keen rivet]

the binary module should load win32 automatically

[subtle bison]

ah i meant specifically the lua addons lol, like the new lightupdater and stable prop hashes

and then the other way around with, fvf, mwr, cdr, and old lightupdater

[keen rivet]

more cool colours, just because :D

[keen rivet]

ah alright

[subtle bison]

feels like the old web lol

i dig it

[keen rivet]

its just very simple rich text, which yeah i guess plain html is just a rich text/markup language after all

[weary kite]

update on the half life stuff, every time i open the game it gets stuck loading only 96 assets

[keen rivet]

Also just saw this, is that fixed

[subtle bison]

havent tested yet

[keen rivet]

Send my your steam libraryfolders.vdf somewhere in your steam install if you can

[brittle token]

was anyone here able to use pbrfusion? it's honestly being a pain in the ass to get running

[subtle bison]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/745007533999259731/1063501988656074834/speed.gif

yipeee

existing x64 patches fixed

@keen rivet do you want this to your repo or amulet's

[keen rivet]

amulet's

my repo is dead

mainly for testing the multi repo stuff in launcher and submitting pr's

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/BlueAmulet/SourceRTXTweaks/pull/14

[subtle bison]

ok can we please exclude culling patches for x64 lmao

voidplaces is running like ass, even with fvf commented out

omg 13 fps

in other news, CULLING 🙂

[keen rivet]

alright then yeah

if its worse and sucks and is worse

no point keeping them

[subtle bison]

for now, until we get the full set

[keen rivet]

put them behind an ifdef CULLING_PATCHES

[earnest yew]

yo lemme get that script

[subtle bison]

its weird cuz flatgrass runs a bit faster lol

900fps lmao

[keen rivet]

lmao?

[subtle bison]

i guess large maps like voidplaces, etc just tank the engine very hard

[earnest yew]

yo lemme get that script

[subtle bison]

bro i changed 2 characters

its also in the PR

that i sent

[earnest yew]

YAY!

[steel lark]

i like how pretty much everybody here is only on gmod rtx for the remixing not the path tracing lol

[atomic pagoda]

Im here just to rip assets out of hl2rtx and into source 2 or blender lmao

[steel lark]

what does that have to do with gmod 💀

[keen rivet]

soon you'll be able to download staging launcher builds directly from the repository

[subtle bison]

nice

[keen rivet]

these should be updated per commit

Xenthio and cr be COOKING

[subtle bison]

mostly xenthio

[keen rivet]

ooo what are you cooking

[subtle bison]

making the launcher download the gmod-specific remix build when it detects x64 during quick install

[keen rivet]

alright

i forgor

[subtle bison]

all good lol, i need to get acquainted with the new launcher anyway lol

there was something else i was gonna do but i also forgor

im gonna PR these as well, ik you did the launcher yourself and I wanna make sure im adding stuff correctly

[keen rivet]

alright

[keen rivet]

hey then this statement will be true

[subtle bison]

good lord its lower-res than mine

[keen rivet]

are you sure

[subtle bison]

ngl not really lol

[keen rivet]

mine has a better name

[subtle bison]

i386 lol

[potent agate]

I guess not all assets load still

[keen rivet]

yeah not all but still near close to all of them

[potent agate]

it'll get there eventually, hopefully

[keen rivet]

still need to filter out the replacement entries that dont have assets

[subtle bison]

my smooth brain cannot figure out how to push the launcher as one whole exe with its dependencies packed

[subtle bison]

im missing that

i tried googling it lol

[keen rivet]

what the spruce

do you have latest version of visual studio

[subtle bison]

vs2022 yea

[keen rivet]

what version

[subtle bison]

17.10.4

[keen rivet]

im on

[subtle bison]

oh my fucking god

💀

[keen rivet]

idk if that makes a difference

[subtle bison]

im gonna update for sure tho lmfao

[keen rivet]

you can push and i can publish if you want lmao

[subtle bison]

ty but i wanna make sure it works on my end before pushing

also is anyone brave enough to run this
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3450250071

[keen rivet]

try open it in vs devtools cmd

and run dotnet publish -p:PublishProfile=FolderProfile

[potent agate]

also does volumetric fog just not exist for gmod rtx?
because no matter the settings I can't seem to enable it, unless I missed something

[subtle bison]

guh, we're using the hl2rtx configs as a base, it should work

[potent agate]

going through the hl2rtx there's just no vfog

[keen rivet]

it might be turned down too weak maybe?

[potent agate]

I tried maxxing things out but nothing

[subtle bison]

try the presets

those usually work for me

[subtle bison]

updating fixed it 😊

moment of truth

[potent agate]

Already tried that

[subtle bison]

my dumbass left IDA open 💀

[keen rivet]

[subtle bison]

fuck yes first try

we also need to redirect the installer to use a sourcertxtweaks repo with the x64 patches

at least until blueamulet merges our changes

[keen rivet]

add it as a source, we'll just wait for blue amulet i think

oh nvm i get it

💀

[keen rivet]

what

did you find what was up

[subtle bison]

no, i just misread what you said

i have no idea

maybe i accidentally hit a key or something when pushing the PR, ik the python patcher works

[subtle bison]

whar

are these not the same bin directories

[keen rivet]

yeah

no whats happening is

[subtle bison]

i didnt copy the patched binaries over the 1st time around

[keen rivet]

this is a custom patch parser

because i didnt want python as a requirement

[subtle bison]

gotcha, would you know where the parsing issue would be?

[keen rivet]

nope

looking at it now

[subtle bison]

oh shit we're missing x64 datacache patches too

whoops

time to edit the PR

[keen rivet]

@subtle bison im going to push something tell me if it fixes that parsing issue

[keen rivet]

ok pushed.

wtf

[potent agate]

this is kinda an issue with it? it looks worse when it's brighter

[subtle bison]

turn off Depth-based fog

and atmosphere

both break volumetrics iirc

[potent agate]

I think doing that made it worse lol

[subtle bison]

ill fiddle with them in a bit and push a rtx.conf that works (as much as i dont want to touch the hl2rtx settings)

[quiet scroll]

wait make it an alternative, i love the hl2rtx settings

[subtle bison]

they seem to work perfectly fine for me?

i didnt change anything other than applying presets

this is on a fresh x64 install using the launcher

@keen rivet pushed the unified release (its under the same github release)

x64 works so far

[keen rivet]

nice

[subtle bison]

time to test x32 for what feels like ages

👴

btw the client.dll patches fail for x32 with the v1.0.7 launcher

[subtle bison]

[thorny crag]

Where'd the culling tab go?

[subtle bison]

x32 doesnt need those addons

it has native patches

[thorny crag]

Oh wait i forgor

I thought you were on chromium

[subtle bison]

nah x32, gotta wait for some stuff to merge before x64 works the same

but most of the building blocks are there

[thorny crag]
