By the way, how do you like remix textures and things?

I assume you need to download the runtime

DID U RELEASE IT? @keen rivet

[keen rivet]

[keen rivet]

FFS this one doesnt properly work either.

oh well

[keen rivet]

🤨

[mint berry]

nice

imma stop

[keen rivet]

what a (word that was blocked by server because no fun allowed)

yeah okay first try codes it fine

when can i open the patreon back up, that request cost shitloads

[lament quartz]

How much shitloads are we talking

[keen rivet]

50 cents WHICH DOESNT SOUND LIKE MUCH but its a lot for a single ai request

[lament quartz]

I have 2$ on PayPal if you want

[keen rivet]

lmao

[keen rivet]

some other prices to compare

[quiet scroll]

baily's like I got 2 dollars and a bag of jelly beans 😭

[willow fog]

Claude?

[keen rivet]

yeah

[lament quartz]

Nah i have 2$ on PayPal, and enough to buy 3 ish simple cars in the bank but we don't mess with the bank

[keen rivet]

claude is just too good

still cheaper than openai 💀

[lament quartz]

(The bank hates me ostg every purchas is a freeze on my account)

[willow fog]

Use deepseek bro

[keen rivet]

ive had meh experiences with deepseek

[willow fog]

Hence the

claude squeezing my wallet dry by making sure it repeats back my entire file back to me instead of just telling me what to fix.

[keen rivet]

pirate what, claude? i fucking wish i could run a model like that at home

[mint berry]

why is the rtx version of gmod installing on my downloads?

[keen rivet]

it installs where ever you put the EXE

[mint berry]

i put it on the steam directory tho (where the games are)

[keen rivet]

huh..... wtf

[keen rivet]

is that your vanilla install or your rtx install

[mint berry]

rtx install

[keen rivet]

can you send me your installation log

[mint berry]

in a bit

im trying to mount half life 2 rtx

how do i send u the installation log

[keen rivet]

when you do the install, it comes up in the black and green text box

youll need to make a new install

[hushed trail]

I think it is a symlink issue with permissions. I was able to get past that error by giving the launcher admin perms.

[keen rivet]

since when did you need admin perms for a symlink

[hushed trail]

Hopefully doesn't dox me

[quiet scroll]

we got 'em boys

[hushed trail]

I seem to get to the main menu before it crashes

Not sure what log would be useful for that

going to try 32bit

[fringe ingot]

soon

[hushed trail]

32 bit works perfectly for me!

Fun little rendering issue when your cursor is over a lamp. little tiny renderer in the top

Looks like it's raytraced, just tiny

[keen rivet]

me setting screensize to 0.001 in doom for maximum framerate

[hushed trail]

Wait moving props in 32 bit work?

I don't remember that ever working

[keen rivet]

i've had that working for ages i think

[hushed trail]

I'm a bit behind

[keen rivet]

only on specific props

i did recently do a fix to get more working

Just released v1.0.8!

[fringe ingot]

fuck it I went ahead and merged it I trust you two have tested it

[keen rivet]

yeah i tested it

:)

[keen rivet]

https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXLauncher/releases/tag/v1.0.9

handles symlinking issues gracefully and offers the option to open as admin

[keen rivet]

got thingy majigs going

[keen rivet]

people with issues test this btw

[quartz glacier]

Yep, as long as it is ran as an administrator, the symlinking works nicely, the error message for failed symlinking is much clearer now too👍

[thorny crag]

is it just me or the 0.65 version is kinda broken

i tried a clean install and blotches of white light are appearing in the voidplaces maps

[subtle bison]

wdym

also I don't think all the patches are still in place for x64 so ill need to mess with that later and probably make a PR

[thorny crag]

the lighting is glitching all over the place

hold on, ill get a screenshot soon

[meager oar]

hmm i keep crashing when trying to open a map in 64bit, gonna try 32bit

[thorny crag]

used the newest launcher to install everything

selected CR's remix

[subtle bison]

looks like world culling, its either x64 not loading its required addons, or x32 without its required patches

i think both are still a bit broken with the launcher, but I'll need to check in a bit

lmao

[compact blaze]

So basically we shouldn’t update our gmod remix install until this stuff gets fixed?

[subtle bison]

yea

x32 was working fine so i think that's ok to use

yea x64 brokey

[remixbinary] addons/remixbinary/lua/autorun/cl_rtx.lua:207: Tried to use a NULL entity!
  1. Spawn - [C]:-1
   2. unknown - addons/remixbinary/lua/autorun/cl_rtx.lua:207
    3. unknown - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:313

its trying to create the old lightupdater but failing, i can get this fixed rq

[meager oar]

😭

[subtle bison]

ok fixed

did something real stupid

x64 should work ootb with the newest launcher

but it might perform worse as the c_frustrumcull patch got merged into blueamulets repo which will definitely conflict with fvf

ill make a PR to temporarily comment it out until we get the full x64 patchset

[subtle bison]

nvm ill just make a PR to xenthio's launcher to use my rtxtweaks repo if it detects x64

way less destructive

[compact blaze]

Ya do that

[subtle bison]

thy has been done

x64 should "just work" now

just tried it myself

im pushing the PR to his repo now

[thorny crag]

what in the world is ILUA interface

[meager oar]

ok the latest launcher wrks for me in 64bit

but wth is going on here 😅 😭

[subtle bison]

since a bunch of old hash rtx.conf's were merged, there is probably some incorrectly tagged textures

i didnt chance to go through them all

[onyx ridge]

looking through gmod changelog

one step closer to portals maybe

[winter radish]

Hopefully this will help with mounting our Steam version assets

[onyx ridge]

i think it'll just be "portal 2 maps won't be as broken"

though there are apparently placeholder models now/coming up for the excursion funnel, wheatley boss and personality cores

[winter radish]

I mean it’s a good sign that it’s not throwing an error anymore

[subtle bison]

i think p2 maps already worked tho?

at least for testing asset replacements for p2-rtx

we did that before xoxor4d released the p2-rtx mod

[winter radish]

The issue I ran into was it wasn’t correctly mounting our Steam files

Now that error is gone tho ^_^

[subtle bison]

ah that

[onyx ridge]

i wonder why the devs haven't implemented portals yet

they're probably one of the most useful parts of portal for mapmakers

[quasi blaze]

I am kinda making a portal 2 related addon that significantly fixes compatibility with it's maps from Portal 2 particularly singleplayer in gmod

the voice lines are working

Music's working too

Wheatley and GLADOS (even GLADOS potato) also speaks properly too and has proper animations

And others that I forgot

There is SO many bugs though

And the portal gun is currently broken so a rewrite is required

This is the experimental version also

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3438436943&searchtext=gp2

@onyx ridge @subtle bison

this is what i'm talking about

it's atleast 70 megabytes

the main author is Lixue

while i'm the contributor

[subtle bison]

nice

[subtle bison]

are you using the rtx.conf from the new compat mod release? construct is working for me ootb

[compact blaze]

oh i miss this mod :(

has it been rebooted by a different dev?

[quasi blaze]

https://github.com/fahadturki653/GP2-REWORKED This is the source code which was basically the forked version of GP2-framework created originally by URAKOLOUY5 before being abandoned

for context

the original creator did mention that they don't mind letting other people fork it

[quasi blaze]

it has been reuploaded by lixue in the steam workshop although she did let me become a contributor to work in the experimental version while she was working in the reupload version

[compact blaze]

whats the difference between the two?

[quasi blaze]

Well ask Lixue

[quasi blaze]

i do in fact already have a video that showcases it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJy7Qzf-1Pw

[winter radish]

Still a lot of issues with the Tardis rewrite addon but it works much better now

[quasi blaze]

the difference is that
The experimental is the one that is being currently worked on
the revived one basically
and the Re-Upload is the original version
where it was left
Experimental: forked version of the Original GP2
Re-Upload: The Original GP2, where it was left on before being cancelled.

That's Lixue's explaination

btw

[potent agate]

Idk then, it's completely broken on my end, even with default settings

[subtle bison]

maybe update drivers? also try reinstalling x64 with the new launcher sent above

use the quickinstall button

[quasi blaze]

@subtle bison does it make any sense?

[subtle bison]

to me it does

[potent agate]

I have the latest drivers lol

but yeah I can try doing the quick install

[subtle bison]

dropping it here again for visibility

[meager oar]

hmm i think i might have replaced it, can u send this conf

[subtle bison]

its also part of 0.6.5

[meager oar]

tanks

[compact blaze]

thx, was confused cause u made it sound like the reupload was also being iterated and worked as well as ur experiental build

[subtle bison]

@winter radish thinking about adding AMD support to the launcher

if we detect an amd gpu, we download optiscaler automatically during quick install

new launcher is peak

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-woooo-yeah-baby-gif-24480925

[subtle bison]

this absolutely fucking massive map is optimized so well ❤️
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3450250071

nvm i found the one spot

lmao

[quasi blaze]

can anyone actually test this addon in RTX remix? @subtle bison

[subtle bison]

bet

[quasi blaze]

Just make sure you have Portal 2 mounted to gmod

[subtle bison]

not sure what's going on here lol

also i believe p2 sp maps are compiled with HDR only so lighting will not work

entities seem to work

[quasi blaze]

Oh yeah those Lua errors those are because it's based on the build that URAKOLOUY5 abandoned back then

But it's fork is still being fixed

It needs more updates

it's like taking and restoring a broken Device from a random trash truck

But it isn't as simple as it seems

[subtle bison]

wow the main TSP map doesnt crash anymore

[willow fog]

Stanley!

[compact blaze]

did it crash before? never crashed for me

[subtle bison]

lighting is also broken since its HDR only but i was able to attach lights to the fixture textures

[subtle bison]

for me it did

[compact blaze]

what about the serious room

[subtle bison]

bet

[quasi blaze]

Also have you ever seen an addon like this before? @willow fog

[subtle bison]

very serious

[compact blaze]

omfg the props load in now?

[quasi blaze]

Yeah the room should've been as accurate as the main game

[compact blaze]

what fixed it???

[quasi blaze]

The lighting is not what I'm used to

[subtle bison]

i had to spawn lights since mat_fullbright is forced on

[subtle bison]

csgo maps still working too

i wonder if fixing that materialsystem patch is what goes these to be stable

[willow fog]

can someone send a ss of the new launcher

[quasi blaze]

Can't we just like maybe modify the maps in hammer?

[subtle bison]

there is also a quick install button at the bottom if you havent already done it (i did so it doesnt show)

[subtle bison]

probably, but it would be better to fix these in the remix toolkit anyway

[willow fog]

hol on im making a meme

[compact blaze]

I LOVE THE OG LAUNCHER THO 💔 💔

[subtle bison]

win32 api cursedness my beloved

fr tho i am very happy xenthio created the new one

[compact blaze]

i wanna ask is the launcher here also bugged or can i use it as is https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/releases/tag/gmrtx_0.6.5

[subtle bison]

there is no launcher there

0.6.5 is designed to be installed with the launcher as well

it doesnt work for manual install

[compact blaze]

ahhh ok

[compact blaze]

💔

[subtle bison]

^ until the PR gets merged, use this launcher

[subtle bison]

what poolday map is this?

[meager oar]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3096281917

[quiet scroll]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO 💀💀💀💀💀

[willow fog]

@subtle bison can I download just the launcher to update and play?

[subtle bison]

ye thats what the launcher is for

i think it works in existing gmod rtx directories but i havent tried it

[willow fog]

errrrrrm

link?

if my gmod breaks, ur fixing it

[subtle bison]

for x64 use this
#1116089843479498782 message

just do it in a new folder @willow fog

i dont wanna fix anything

[willow fog]

yes you will

where do I put it?

game folder?

[subtle bison]

anywhere in a empty folder

[willow fog]

okay.

Desktop it is

[subtle bison]

it will automatically symlink stuff

[hushed trail]

We still need the steam collection right

[subtle bison]

nah just niknaks

i need to remove the other addons from the collection

[compact blaze]

💔

[subtle bison]

run launcher as admin

once xenthio merges my launcher PR, i can update the install instructions on github

[willow fog]

what patches do I apply?

[subtle bison]

it does it all for you if you click Quick install

[willow fog]

I don't see no quick install

[subtle bison]

then you didnt put it in an empty folder

[willow fog]

yeah I did

[subtle bison]

then it doesnt see ur gmod install

i think xenthio is still looking into this

if u have space, just install gmod normally to your C:\ drive on steam

the launcher doesnt modify it but it uses it as a base

[willow fog]

ok I see it now

idk what happened the first time

[subtle bison]

[willow fog]

does it install the skyboxes?

[subtle bison]

no but thats a good idea

[willow fog]

hm

lets see if it works

[subtle bison]

well?

[willow fog]

le epic

[subtle bison]

yipeee i live for another day

[willow fog]

One more

[hushed trail]

x64 works wonders

[subtle bison]

x32 is still the more stable ver in my eyes lol

no heinous atrocities to remove culling

[willow fog]

well u need glasses

[hushed trail]

Not in my testing, 32 was lagging on most maps for me. And lighting wasn’t being retained properly

[subtle bison]

was this with xenthio's newest changes? i havent done a deep dive yet

[willow fog]

Also this thing

[subtle bison]

x32 is definitely better for MP tho

[willow fog]

It's stupid

I had to make a whole custom copy of arc9 because of this

[subtle bison]

ok i can update that by default

[willow fog]

with fixed textures and shi

[subtle bison]

csgo's de_canals with a HDRI

good lawd

[willow fog]

hdri editor brokey

[subtle bison]

these maps have so much remix potential

[willow fog]

mmph... im so angry

[subtle bison]

guh, they work

use 0.3

its for old hashes

[willow fog]

ohhh

right

so have we still not agreed on hashes?

[subtle bison]

nah we did, old hashes is the way

we will maintain it even if nv removes it

[subtle bison]

a massive victory, burrito is satisfied

[lament quartz]

i cant get de_canals to work for me

[subtle bison]

is this with 0.6.5 and the new launcher?

everything seems to work with this combo

at least for me

[lament quartz]

oh theres a new launcher?

[subtle bison]

yessir

[lament quartz]

do other csgo maos work?

[compact blaze]

btw i wanna ask do we know why the remix devs switched to a new hash system?

[subtle bison]

i think mark left an answer in general but i dont remember any specifics

[subtle bison]

no clue

[lament quartz]

hm

[subtle bison]

@lament quartz
download this
#1116089843479498782 message
put it in an empty folder anywhere, run as admin, click Quick Install if it shows

[meager oar]

bloody flatwater

[subtle bison]

no, what the fuck is wrong with your flatgrass

more like goldsource flatgrass

[lament quartz]

what does disabling chromium fo

do

[subtle bison]

disable CEF, like the main menu and stuff

[subtle bison]

looks like the symlink failed, where is your normal gmod installed at

[lament quartz]

d/steamapps/common/garrysmodrt

[subtle bison]

try making a new normal gmod install on your C:\ drive

and then delete everything in the launcher directory except the launcher itself and try quick install again

[meager oar]

idk

[subtle bison]

i thought that was lego for a sec

[winter radish]

Multiplayer seems more stable ^_^

[subtle bison]

for x64? it shouldnt be

if we're gonna be doing gmod rtx ttt its 100% with x32

[meager oar]

so x32 gmod still better for rtx?

[subtle bison]

overall yeah

i havent done a performance side-by-side for both, but even without that, x32's culling patches let you do a lot more stuff without the addons

[winter radish]

It seems to be

[subtle bison]

👁️

[winter radish]

Also to make TTT Clue more stable you just tag ignore the problematic textures and it works fine like that

[lament quartz]

Wait so it upgraded to 64 bit for nothing? (Not nothing atmos house only works on 64 for me)

[subtle bison]

wdym

[lament quartz]

I have yet to get it to work on modern 32 bit yet

It crashes at "starting lua"

[subtle bison]

ah

that might be fixed, no idea

[subtle bison]

i'd say x64's strong points is being able to run x64 exclusive maps, addons, increased limits, and the ability to run more addons without bogging down the entire game

[subtle bison]

ttt should be having culling everywhere since that addon does not load sandbox stuff, or so i think

i guess ill check

[winter radish]

The lights do seem to be culled but on some maps it's less noticable

[subtle bison]

what the hell it does load the addons

sweet

[winter radish]

so anyone up for some testing 😆

[subtle bison]

i guess if someone with the remix mods hosts, it works for other players as well

[winter radish]

@earnest yew Your map works (I think you were the one who mentioned it)

[winter radish]

Lets go

everyone TTT tonight 🗣️

[subtle bison]

ye i can in like 4 hours

[winter radish]

Bet

[subtle bison]

really surprised TTT works lmao

this minecraft map looks pretty cool

[winter radish]

Would love to do a Minecraft map

[subtle bison]

i got like 5

i think 3 are a variation of this one

[earnest yew]

yay

[winter radish]

I have the one in the picture

And then some others

[winter radish]

Max player limit is 128...I can get the AMD users in my server if you want

https://tenor.com/view/smug-face-butheremails-gif-26433806

I'll cook up a Gmod RTX AMD mod if I have to

[lapis delta]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/376417126795444224/1334631799166337136/catHorror_giff.gif

source?

[willow fog]

Idk

[lapis delta]

too bad

[winter radish]

@quiet scroll Wanna cook up a pbr TTT map

[meager oar]

is it still up

[winter radish]

This was just me doing local hosting, I'll have to get the dedicated server back up

Tho I could also just do peer to peer

[subtle bison]

it might not work on a dedicated server since it relies on a lot of clientside functions, but x32 shouldnt run into this issue

[winter radish]

Solution: makes a new steam account, buys Gmod again, sets up a computer to run Gmod with that account as a "server"

[winter radish]

So peer to peer it is then

(I'll never go back to x32)

[meager oar]

copy paste whole gmod directory in the gmod rtx folder, thats how i fixed this error

[winter radish]

My Gmod RTX folder is my Gmod folder

RTX or nothing

[subtle bison]

i very much recommend it for MP

[winter radish]

Does the launcher at least allow me to switch between the two?

[lament quartz]

is it secure?

[meager oar]

i dnt think so, i have set gmod to x32 but the game is still opening in 64 from the launcher

[winter radish]

Also if I host on x64 doesn't that allow for x32 and x64 players to join since I'll have the binaries for x64 there

[winter radish]

oof

[subtle bison]

you have to completely reinstall your normal gmod install if u switch branches

[winter radish]

I'm good

My Gmod each time is 50gbs of download

[subtle bison]

dont uninstall via steam

just delete game files and reverify game files
steam stores workshop content in its own folder

so you can have a bunch of gmod installs that use the same workshop directory

[winter radish]

I think it's because I disable my addons, not remove them entirely, so it downloads them anyway

[subtle bison]

it shouldnt do it at all still

[winter radish]

[quiet scroll]

Probably not anytime soon I got portal 2 1.5 update to push out, l4d2 remixin, and Lego Batman on the plate atm

[winter radish]

@earnest yew It's your time to shine for TTT Clue

[earnest yew]

what

[meager oar]

im so confused theres literally zero smearing in 32x with RR and neural radiance and no enhancements

i was getting very bad smearing before with no enhancements if i had RR and neural on

[winter radish]

[earnest yew]

i am not touching that fucking toolkit

un uh

[subtle bison]

only thing i can think of causing smearing on x64 is that we render world twice, once with the engine, 2nd with mwr, and it might cause some weird vertex stuff that remix doesnt like

but i only noticed this with transparent stuff like water

[meager oar]

are volumetrics messed up for someone else aswell? like its only rendering 1 cm close to u and in interiors it causes full darkness

[subtle bison]

it was working for me

[winter radish]

lmao

[meager oar]

im using the default config

[subtle bison]

ye same

[meager oar]

hmm imma try my CSS config and see if it fixes for me

[subtle bison]

if it doesnt then its probably an issue with the specific remix build we use

i can push a downgraded version for the launcher to grab if that ends up being the case

[meager oar]

yea my CSS config fixes the volumetrics now they wrk

[subtle bison]

can you send it

i guess hl2rtx wasn't a good base after all

[meager oar]

hehe its the same one that crashes for u

[subtle bison]

we'll see

good Lord the size

[meager oar]

yea its veryyyy old

[subtle bison]

cant wait to combine this with another config

[meager oar]

the directional, spot and point are disabled btw in that conf and fallback lighting is turned on

[subtle bison]

i can remove those, dw

[meager oar]

theres just something about RTX and low res maps

idk just looks charming, i WANT CS 1.6 RTX!!! 😭

[subtle bison]

ok this config is cursed

it runs but my game is a black screen except for the hud

i tried a newly generated one and volumetrics are still buggy

@willow fog since ur the new volumetrics master, can you tell us if they work for you

[willow fog]

I can check in a bit.

[subtle bison]

cool

[meager oar]

i wonder why this conf only wrks for me and not others

[lament quartz]

is this fortnite

🔥

[willow fog]

Yes

[winter radish]

About be once I open this TTT event

aaahhh so many choices

[keen rivet]

give me your install log

[keen rivet]

youll need to do the Update Install button

[keen rivet]

32x is infinitely more stable and complete right now

64 bit is basically staging where everything is happening

[keen rivet]

yeah i was playing TTT with the mods on

[keen rivet]

ok

now kiss

[willow fog]

I did

[keen rivet]

so i just tried x32 via the launcher, working perfectly

[willow fog]

BUT IM SLEEPING!!!!

[subtle bison]

we are finally unified

x32 and x64

[winter radish]

Not anymore

[subtle bison]

the holy matrimony

[willow fog]

No I don't wanna get up

I'm barely awake

[winter radish]

x32 + x64 = x96, the next step in computing

[subtle bison]

yes

this is garrys plan all along

[willow fog]

Plus I'm mentally preparing myself for the new discord ui when I wake up

[subtle bison]

what new discord ui

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/hop-on-ttt-velk-velkon-hop-on-gif-8184645366344061092

[willow fog]

DO NOT restart discord

[subtle bison]

ok restarting it

[willow fog]

Uh oh

[winter radish]

You didn't get the update?

[keen rivet]

its only pushed to some people

its a rollout

[winter radish]

I like the new UI

[subtle bison]

holy shit he wasnt lying

[willow fog]

Not unless discord is relaunched

[subtle bison]

what the hell

[keen rivet]

my brother has it, it doesnt look too bad

[willow fog]

I TOLD YOU

[winter radish]

Who keeps Discord open 24/7

[willow fog]

It's fucked up

[subtle bison]

what is this

[subtle bison]

me, i leave my PC on

[winter radish]

It's peak

[willow fog]

My PC has been on for a month

No restarts

[winter radish]

You guys are crazy

[subtle bison]

my 2080 can take a few more beatings

🙂

[willow fog]

One of the case fans gave up two months ago

From usage

[winter radish]

Mine is 3 hours right now

[willow fog]

Fan*

Only one

[subtle bison]

so why does x32 have dark mode loading screens, but x64 has light mode ones

guh

[winter radish]

The only PC I would leave on is my Mac Mini just because I fucking hate the power button

They put it on the bottom

[subtle bison]

just tested the crysis equivalent for gmod on x32

this map has like 8K entities tho lmfao

[winter radish]

Just optimize it

https://tenor.com/view/chill-guy-chill-guy-just-a-chill-guy-relax-gif-1579445140409713118

[subtle bison]

nah i think this is a limitation of x32 having lower limits iirc

idk if the culling patches are actually causing this

the fps is locked to 9 though lmao

no culling is so nice 🤤

the sluggishness of loading is also gone on x32, i wonder if a bridge change or gmod update fixed it

[keen rivet]

i never had sluggish loading on main branch gmod

[subtle bison]

i always did before, i couldnt load more than 2 maps before the game would perma freeze up

but that might have been a bridge thing since normal x32 never had that issue

either way, very happy

[brittle token]

is it normal for volumetric lighting to be this intense?

[steel lark]

wait 32 bit is better than 64 bit now?

[subtle bison]

in most areas yes

[brittle token]

oh darn

[steel lark]

bruh

ok

[subtle bison]

its more complete lol

[steel lark]

ig i'll reinstall gmod

[subtle bison]

^

[willow fog]

If you've set it to something like heavy fog, then yes

[brittle token]

found it, seemed to already be set up like that by default

[brittle token]

not exactly what i was expecting from x32 build

[subtle bison]

guh i didnt get these results

[keen rivet]

well thats a new one i havent seen before

[brittle token]

my guess is that the rtxlauncher didn't like me trying different stuff one after another

imma try with a clean install

[brittle token]

hella weird

[willow fog]

Your deculs aren't working

[subtle bison]

it seems like the detail texture remover isnt loading

which usually means nothing in remixbinary is loading lol

[brittle token]

i got the game to show some shadows on one part of the map, so maybe it did load?

[subtle bison]

nah if the sun isnt consistently visible then the lightupdater isnt being initialized

[brittle token]

ray tracing disabled

[winter radish]

I wanna say anyone wanna hop on TTT? but I don't we have enough people online, lol

[subtle bison]

holy shit csgo dust2 ingame

it took 6 minutes to load in

game is 1 frame per minute or sometihng lmao

[brittle token]

@subtle bison fixed it, the rtx launcher was thinking my install was gmod_main when it actually was x64 (and/or viceversa?) anyways, deleting the settings file seemed to fix it

[subtle bison]

maybe tmr?

[keen rivet]

shoutouts to https://yowaddup.com ttt servers

[subtle bison]

looks like its remix thats the issue? finally turned off RT and its at 60fps

weird

[earnest yew]

instagram shoutout time

[winter radish]

Mhm

[willow fog]

I'd've

[subtle bison]

holy shit more than 1 fps in remix

its not very stable and csgo maps stack like 3 textures on top of each other (the holes in the walls)

[willow fog]

Scary

I don't feel good looking at that

[subtle bison]

im just surprised cs2 backport maps load at all

fucking amazing

[willow fog]

Is it cs2 dust 2 or csgo

[subtle bison]

csgo dust2 but its the cs2 backport it got before cs2 actually came out

[willow fog]

Confusing sentence

[subtle bison]

lets just say its almost like cs2

its a stupidly complex source engine map

[willow fog]

I'd've

[subtle bison]

🤤

(my gpu is dead)

[willow fog]

Would love to PBR it

Is I had the ener

If I had the energy*

[subtle bison]

too bad remix goes to like 6 fps if you look at the map the wrong way

[subtle bison]

i think the vertex explosion issue that's been happening on a few maps

like that kleiner center

[willow fog]

Mayb

[subtle bison]

it also happens on x32

[quiet scroll]

polyhaven has a lot of nice sand textures and white rocks, vewwy vewyy intweeging

[subtle bison]

it might be worth baking the entire map as one mesh, disable rendering in the engine, and let remix render it lol

at that point just put the CS2 one there

its the same layout lmao

the collision meshes will probably line up too

[willow fog]

Or just port the originals from cs2

[subtle bison]

sourceio can load cs2 maps (blender plugin)

its very buggy tho

[quiet scroll]

[willow fog]

Most likely. And remix does prefer big geometry on its side

[quiet scroll]

wait wtf why am I yellow

[subtle bison]

artist

[quiet scroll]

i should change it to developer at this point

[willow fog]

Not from the game tho. Remix hates it when you give it tons of geo from the game
mmph im so full

[subtle bison]

csgo og training map looks sick

[subtle bison]

testing some toolkit edits

really like this bank map from old csgo

[brittle token]

getting this weird thing when moving and having the flashlight on

[brittle token]

😮 how did you change the sky dome

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/sambow23/hdri_cube

[subtle bison]

looks like volumetrics

try turning those off

[keen rivet]

new checkbox

quickly toggle the existence of d3d9.dll

[brittle token]

first time i get an engine error with so much forehead

[lament quartz]

WHAT

I NEED

Broooooooo the fucking launcher won't work thooo augh

[keen rivet]

whats up

give me any info you can

[lament quartz]

Its not installing the nessisary files, ill try and get a recording in the morning

[keen rivet]

TRUEEEEEEEEEEE

[keen rivet]

hold on

[quasi blaze]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2538387266&searchtext=actmod

can anyone try this in RTX remix?

[quasi blaze]

you? @keen rivet

[keen rivet]

i dont see why it wouldn't work

[quasi blaze]

see it for yourself

i don't know if it works or not

[keen rivet]

I have a new launcher test build for anyone who continues to have issues

[quasi blaze]

that's why i said i don't know because i don't have a Good GPU

i'm waiting for the funds

it's taking so long

[keen rivet]

yah i know i was just posting the test build for anyone to try

[quasi blaze]

Good GPUS like RTX 4090 are still this expensive to this day

even in my home country

[quasi blaze]

Good thing I found this the price isn't bad in noon

[keen rivet]

those are expensive everywhere lmao

https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXLauncher/blob/master/RTXLauncher/bin/Release/net8.0-windows/win-x64/publish/RTXLauncher.exe

[half viper]

Skill issue
I found an rtx 3060 ti for 500 ryal in haraj

Also

noon

You are scamming yourself

[quasi blaze]

where can i actually find that?

[half viper]

As i said حراج
Used gpus are goldmines

[quasi blaze]

ah it's a store i will check it out

thanks!

[quasi blaze]

how is noon a scam (the GPU part) btw?

[half viper]

The pricing part

[half viper]

I got a 4090 for practically half price, around 3000 ryal before in trendyol

[quasi blaze]

also do i actually have to contact the seller before buying any such GPUS in Haraj?

[half viper]

You never used haraj before?

[quasi blaze]

Nope never heard of it

[half viper]

??????????????????????

[quasi blaze]

you mentioned it

[half viper]

At least everyone in saudi knows about it

[quasi blaze]

for some reason i didn't know

[compact blaze]

will u update ur hl2 rtx guide to make it look like this?

[half viper]

Living in a cave would be an understatement

Lmao

[quasi blaze]

i usually searched for the GPUS but haraj isn't actually listed in my search results

[quasi blaze]

is that atleast a good GPU?

[half viper]

3080 for less than 430$

Thats a deal

Also miles better than a 4060

[quasi blaze]

i'm gonna contact the seller first

[half viper]

Keep searching

You might find a better deal

Tbh

Very interesting

Never seen a Saudi that doesn't know about haraj

[quasi blaze]

alright then i'm gonna continue searching then

[quasi blaze]

uhm is that a red flag?

are sellers actually supposed to negotiate?

[half viper]

Yes

[quasi blaze]

oh my the specs are ideal for me

i am a animator

and an unreal engine developer after all

[half viper]

i9 9900k

Dogshit

[quasi blaze]

realized just now

just gonna keep searching

[half viper]

Keep searching cuh

[quasi blaze]

THAT IS really BIG red flag

HOLD UP

if it was marked as 1 SARS in the website

@half viper then why does the description show it's at 3200 riyals?

[half viper]

Tech illiterate people

a red flag on its own tbh

[quasi blaze]

hm those selling points might be good

i will contact the seller

[half viper]

You haven't searched for even 10 mins

DIG

have 1000 tabs

[quasi blaze]

Okay fine

[half viper]

Doesn't have to be a 3080 too

[quasi blaze]

that's kinda exxagerated though No computers can reach that high

[quasi blaze]

@half viper considering that Well i only have a GTX 1650

[half viper]

Obviously

[quasi blaze]

also 4 gb of vram

[quasi blaze]

PAIN

[half viper]

Keep searching instead of yapping

Talking to me wont give you a good deal

[quasi blaze]

i am trying to stay calm it's just my GPU had been suffering when i tried to render a big animation in cinema 4D

along with my RAM

i've had SO many BSODS

[half viper]

You can change that

If you search more

[quasi blaze]

i even had a Windows Hardware Error Architecture Logger Event ID 1 ERROR

that appeared in the event viewer after a previous BSOD

when playing Gmod

this was after i closed my live stream in "Kick"

bsods Happened NOT 1 not 2 BUT 10 TIMES

[quasi blaze]

i searched more

and i think i will stick with this one

just for now

[half viper]

3080 is more Powerful

[quasi blaze]

you sure?

[half viper]

You arent forced to hear from me

[quasi blaze]

like are you actually sure the 3080 is more powerful then the 40 series?

[half viper]

Yeah

[quasi blaze]

whats' the difference?

[half viper]

A 4060 ti matches a 3060 ti

In performance

Only has frame generation as a feature

The 4000 series is worthless if you aint buying 4070 super and higher

[quasi blaze]

maybe i will consider the 3080 if that makes me feel good about it

[half viper]

https://youtu.be/eTeX6aTx6SM?feature=shared

[quasi blaze]

i'm gonna watch it

[quasi blaze]

yeah i actually see a difference in god of war

the FPS in rtx 4060 is a bit lower than 3080

[half viper]

Some clips have framegen on so it doesn't really count considering 3080 doesn't support frame gen

[quasi blaze]

hmm in my opinion the RTX 3080 is better

[livid rapids]

I love flooding the Garry's Mod project thread

[compact blaze]

Can you give an example

[livid rapids]

The tens of messages that could have been on offtopic or DMs about GPU pricing and comparisons

[half viper]

Apologies

It was meant to stop once i tell him the source

But he probably discovered that i live in Saudi Arabia aswell and couldn't stop mentioning me

[quasi blaze]

sorry

i just got carried away with that

[half viper]

Don't apologize, but learn to depend on yourself

You don't need me to constantly guide you.

[quasi blaze]

right i'm a teenager i keep forgetting that

[half viper]

Not what i meant

Forget it man

[quasi blaze]

you know what i'd say that too

just forget it

we don't need to turn this to a very long conversation

[brittle token]

im not sure why, but map lights aren't being turned into remix lights automatically

[lament quartz]

Sometimes maps just don't work well in translation

From my understanding

[brittle token]

mmm, maybe

im gonna try with another map which used to work

[split geode]

who can help me? when I use the “Run Quick Install” button or the “Install/Update” button of RTX Remix.
I get an error and can't install gmod rtx (The problem is that the "bin" folder for some reason forbids editing or adding new files to that folder)

[brittle token]

nope, it stopped working after going from 64 to 32 bits

[lament quartz]

Weird

[brittle token]

mmm. maybe try running it as administrator?

[split geode]

If I try to take “NvRemixLauncher32” from half life 2 rtx and drag it into “bin” myself.
I get an error that I supposedly don't have permission to do that 0-0

even if I create a completely new folder and rename it to “bin”, I get exactly the same error

[split geode]

that didn't help, I got the same error

[brittle token]

mmm, other than trying to take ownership / lowering permissions for folder control im not sure how to fix it

[split geode]

when I installed the first time (and I did) bitdefender (antivirus) quarantined “NvRemixLauncher32” as a potential virus.
But when I removed it from quarantine, it didn't help at all
and now after that, I can't put NvRemixLauncher32 in bin folder (even after turning off antivirus).

My theory is that bitdefender has set a restriction on this folder that I can't get rid of

[subtle bison]

x32 uses a different lightupdater, might want to ask xenthio about it

[brittle token]

|| @keen rivet ||

@subtle bison got an addon port of .. dust2? working, and im not noticing fps drops

[brittle token]

whathehell

still trying to figure out how to make the distant light i added in the toolkit work

but at least it has sky light

strange. it only appears at a certain height

and only in the area the capture was taken. maybe cuz of LODs?

[cloud bay]

yo chat I'm super interested in rtx technology but even after almost two years i think? everything just looks off to me.. like best way i could describe it is too specular-y? too grey-ish and everything looks dull and specular

has there been like, anything that tries to get it more faithful? like you know how source maps are ray traced in hammer, has anyone gotten close to matching with said ray tracing? so it doesnt look out of place basically? or is it not possible maybe

hl2 rtx looks pretty good but the lights are a bit too bright i guess lol

[subtle bison]

i mean everything you've seen here is with no specular materials, its as flat as OG source

its really up to the user if they want mopped floors or making everything flat

[winter radish]

I want GLaDOS to be mopped then /jk

[subtle bison]

💀

[brittle token]

has anyone gotten pbrFusion to work? (with the rtx remix support)

[subtle bison]

ye @quiet scroll has

i assume it should for anyone else

[brittle token]

i ended up with an error when running the depthanything, first it was with the upscaler, but i replaced that one with one that i have (gigapixel ai). but i still haven't gotten an answer on the pbrfusion channel

[subtle bison]

try asking for help in the pbrfusion3 thread

[brittle token]

already did, seems kinda stale. anyways, here's a cool barrel i processed. from that bridge part of hl2:ep2 on gmod

left: only mats adjustment

right: + normal and height

barrel. but hole

[subtle bison]

wonder how it would function with less ethical models (out of curiosity)

i think its just stable diffusion at its core anyway

[brittle token]

yep, i think the upscaler that it tried to use first was stable diff 2.1 base

[subtle bison]

SD 2.1 kinda flopped 😦

[brittle token]

honestly, it surprised me when the pbrfusion people said that my gpu was too weak to run both rtx remix and the thing at once, like, there's no way a 3080 ti is that bad right?? i hope at least

ah. yes

██ ██ ████ █ █ ██

🗣️ 🔥

lmao

[subtle bison]

i think you ignored a wrong texture lol

the font breaks when you do

[brittle token]

could be, i had just ignored a blocky texture that appeared on shooted zombies

what the-

[steel lark]

SHOOTED

💀

[brittle token]

re-enabled it and it fixed it, thanks

[steel lark]

why are the icons so small 😭

[brittle token]

sorry, first time having to use that word in that context, wounded might have been a better choice

[brittle token]

discord UI update, looks nice tbh

[steel lark]

shot...

[steel lark]

only some parts the rest is so inconsistent it's crazy

[subtle bison]

ye

i think they hired a 12 year old who used figma for the 1st time or something

[brittle token]

i think they made this too big

it cuts into the server list

tho the icon shapes i think are better (for the servers)

[steel lark]

the bar on the top is bothering me so much

[subtle bison]

sucks for oled users lol

[brittle token]

yeah, in theory the top of the sidebar should already explain in which server it is

fuck, my screenshots are big as hell

[subtle bison]

oh yea i just noticed lmao

discord why

💀

[brittle token]

that's what i get for using downscaled 1440p

nvm, the texture was put by an addon that i forgot to disable, apparently too shader-y for remix

woah

[subtle bison]

ye its a source engine bug when rendering in FF mode

i plan to just put an empty texture on the source-side so it wont be visible anymore

ignoring it in remix doesnt work since the hash changes each time you load the map

[steel lark]

what are the recommended settings in the launcher for gmod rtx 32bits

[subtle bison]

the default

just run quick install and everything will work ootb

[near tartan]

I tried out your remix 1.0 mod for 64 bit, works great, love the water

[earnest yew]

cr you remind me of the babe

[subtle bison]

the who

[earnest yew]

the babe with the power

[near tartan]

Atom Eve?

Like, this could be a lot of ppl gng

[earnest yew]

the power of voodoo

[subtle bison]

i have no idea what this is

i am afraid to know

[near tartan]

Still could be a couple people

The only way I can picture cr is the cat pfp, don’t remind me of anything else, when I see the letters c and r next to each other my mind goes to the cat

[potent agate]

something is very broken

[subtle bison]

what the fuck

what is doing this 👁️

https://tenor.com/view/inception-city-fold-collapsing-gif-10947610334096052134

[keen rivet]

oh do you have disable vertex lighting on? turn that off.

[meager oar]

wch csgo map addon is this? i wanna try adding normals to the textures

[subtle bison]

csgo old dust2

[brittle token]

not sure where that is, rtx remix's menu is like a laberinth

[subtle bison]

<placeholder>

[subtle bison]

ty

[brittle token]

well it's this one, i'd give you the link, but the steam overlay shat itself and now i cant even close it

much less copy the link

[subtle bison]

its a RTX menu setting in gmod x32

so like inside gmod itself, not the remix menu

[brittle token]

oooh, the addon one

[brittle token]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=847072716

[subtle bison]

LDR compatible

lfg!!! 😎

[brittle token]

it might fight you a fair bit, in mine it didn't let me see the sun if i wasn't in the area where the distant light was placed, i think

[subtle bison]

does it work on x64?

[keen rivet]

RTX menu inside the spawnmenu

[brittle token]

haven't checked, but probably

[subtle bison]

i've noticed neither x32 or x64 always have working environment lights, it really depends on the map

some work well on x32, some work on x64

guess there is no perfect solution atm

[brittle token]

game should have been x64 from the beginning, cant get more futureproof than that

[subtle bison]

i always wonder if rubat will ever kill off x32

maybe, maybe not

[brittle token]

FUCK YES, thanks :D

[subtle bison]

nice

[keen rivet]

that shouldnt be on by default

it was an experimental setting in the original RTX Fixes

[subtle bison]

ill check the config/server.vdf's and see if i accidentally left it in there

[brittle token]

strange light

[meager oar]

cs2 dust2

[subtle bison]

nice

[meager oar]

perf is veryyy bad

[subtle bison]

is it a port or is it the same csgo map?

[meager oar]

15 fps

[brittle token]

ooh, nice volumetrics

[meager oar]

same csgo map new dust2

[subtle bison]

x32? i dont see any displacement culling

[meager oar]

yus

[subtle bison]

nice

glad it works there

[meager oar]

i think only a 4090 can run it in 60 fps though 😅

[subtle bison]

disable RT, is the fps the same?

on x64, it seemed to be a remix bug as the game ran much faster with RT off

[brittle token]

restir vs neural radiance cache, what do you guys think?

[subtle bison]

i use restir because nrc crashes my gpu driver

[meager oar]

i prefer neural

[brittle token]

i prefer restir cuz neural takes too long to update lights sometimes

even though it gives a better image, i prefer it to be more responsive if a little less detailed, im playing in real time after all

[subtle bison]

nope, its not set

not sure why its on by default

[brittle token]

strange

[meager oar]

dayummm the perf difference from new dust2 and old dust2 is big, 15 fps in new dust2 and 107 fps in old dust2

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet its on by default it seems

[keen rivet]

yeah make it not, lol

[subtle bison]

why me 💀 i cant do it atm

[keen rivet]

oh lmao

i thought you had the file open

[subtle bison]

i think the xp theme is causing confusion, im at work and i dont have access to my gh account on the pc im on rn 🙂

i just downloaded the release to check lol

[keen rivet]

work pc also has xp theme lmao

[subtle bison]

a more faithful one since it runs linux 🙂

taken a few weeks ago but it looks about the same as rn

[keen rivet]

BRO THATS YOUR DISCORD

[subtle bison]

for that screenshot lol

im using normal discord rn

[keen rivet]

thats fucking awesome

[keen rivet]

nice

[subtle bison]

🙂

[keen rivet]

the fake cmd.exe

[subtle bison]

yes i even symlinked it so i can actually do Win + R to open run

oop

some dude made a whole C++ recreation of some xp apps

like to 99% of people, its indistinguishable from real xp

[keen rivet]

i can tell in that run dialog

font smoothing on

not xp default

[subtle bison]

i have font smoothing off but a lot of GTK apps ignore it

[keen rivet]

theres like, projects that turn windows 11 into pretty much INDISTINGUISHABLE copies of Xp

[subtle bison]

yea i've seen those too

even the start menu is covered here, idk about those windows conversions

[compact blaze]

How did u get discord to look like windows live messenger?
