Garry's Mod

[lament quartz]

can i get map install

like the link

[subtle bison]

its a custom client
https://aerochat.live/

it doesnt have a linux version so im running it in wine

[keen rivet]

I was playing with WPF and it has an Xp theme built in

[subtle bison]

guh

[compact blaze]

Thx

[compact blaze]

Oh shoot an old friend made this that’s so cool

[keen rivet]

aero too

[subtle bison]

aero my beloved

[compact blaze]

Is WPF the tool to make these applications?

[subtle bison]

i want to do this one next

https://gitgud.io/wackyideas/aerothemeplasma

this one is so good 🤤

[keen rivet]

WPF is one of the tools

[subtle bison]

bless insane linux people

[keen rivet]

the actual launcher is not WPF

it's windows forms

WPF is too hard to get looking native

i could try windows 11 style if i wanted to lmao

[subtle bison]

wonder if WPF works on wine, it would be nice to maintain linux compatibility

[compact blaze]

Pls make launcher look like aero pls pls

[keen rivet]

Mono has a windows form implementation i know that

[subtle bison]

yeah that should be enough

[keen rivet]

im not gonna be using WPF so nah sorry lol

cant do

if i wanted to choose a theme

it would be VGUI green

[subtle bison]

i can test the launcher as-is on this pc im on but i can guarantee it wont run remix lol

[subtle bison]

fuck yes vgui green please

[keen rivet]

I have an awesome recreation of this made in s&box

[compact blaze]

Can u show vgui green

[keen rivet]

ye hold on

its loading

[subtle bison]

gtk theme does not apply to wine sad

but it works

@winter radish

[keen rivet]

that looks fitting by itself to be honest

except the "Hey! There's no G" part

[subtle bison]

it would be even better if the xp theme loaded 🥹

i like that it took the disabled font smoothing tho

[subtle bison]

holy shit

this goes so hard

good lord source engine vgui as the gmod rtx launcher would also be sick as hell

btw @keen rivet , do you mind me adding optiscaler support for the launcher? would help amd gpu users a lot

[compact blaze]

Sheeeesh ya nvm this would go hard for the launcher

[keen rivet]

nah

go ahead

[subtle bison]

cool

[compact blaze]

Nah that’s cursed imagine the ingame half life options menu look exactly like steam

[winter radish]

Huh

[earnest yew]

cant you legit just recompile the csgo maps

or am i stupid

[keen rivet]

lmao

[compact blaze]

I mean u can prob recompile any source map it’s just no one can be asked

[subtle bison]

i dont think gmod's hammer/vrad supports csgo maps?

[earnest yew]

hammer++...

[subtle bison]

and csgo's tools dont support SDR

[earnest yew]

or something blah blah blah

[keen rivet]

? theyre just a map

they should be fine

[compact blaze]

Straight hammer tool, it’s like hammer except not gay (without colorful hdr)

[subtle bison]

i vaguely remember csgo maps having larger limits than what the current gmod tools can handle
I might be wrong, but i remember seeing something like thati n the gmod server

[compact blaze]

That’s terrible I love it

[subtle bison]

like the miles sound system touch lol

[keen rivet]

gmod 64 bit branch i think has raised limits

[earnest yew]

is this real??

Die!

[compact blaze]

@earnest yew

[keen rivet]

WTF

[subtle bison]

yea but i dont think we have 64-bit tools?

ill found out later ig

i might mess with it

[keen rivet]

we do

[earnest yew]

find'

[earnest yew]

Die!

the first time i saw a theme was raising the bar redux

it was just the goldsrc theme

and even that was nasty

dont change whats perfect...

[compact blaze]

I wonder can apply this in an hl2 mod

[keen rivet]

probably

i see no reason you couldnt reskin vgui

sourcescheme.res

all the themeing stuff is in there

you might not be able to make the double borders? dunno

you can draw manually in code though

or do something like put a button in a panel to get two borders

[earnest yew]

wrong chat

[subtle bison]

anyone test this with gmod?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2447774443&searchtext=stormfox

[compact blaze]

the day someone makes a shitpost mod like gordon freakman with a steam styled settings menu is the day i weep

[keen rivet]

doesn't gordon freakman 2 have that

[half viper]

afair something about it was broken?

[compact blaze]

i mean this

[keen rivet]

oh lmao

i thought you meant steam green

[compact blaze]

nahhh sadly

[brittle token]

just wondering, is it normal for the hdri editor to be kinda unstable on wether it's rendering normal skybox or the one of the preset?

on land: original

noclipping a few meters above and to the left

oh god, i peeped the horror

[meager oar]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3068466810

[brittle token]

things are about to get dusty

or something i rarely played csgo

my rtx remix keeps on resetting to cnn, among other settings of it

[meager oar]

well the moon wrks

cloudy weather causes tis

dayum the day night cycle is wrking

thats da sun

[subtle bison]

it overrides the engine skybox so it shouldnt be

[brittle token]

damn, with stormfox 2 i cant even see how i move. but i can go up and fall and take damage, without the camera moving, is weird as hell

[subtle bison]

most of these need to be marked as particle textures

[brittle token]

there's a wall... somewhere

[subtle bison]

5 days since last dxvk-remix update

(im going to explode)

[subtle bison]

is it me or do i see the denoiser noise real bad

or is this just volumetrics

[meager oar]

volumetrics

[earnest yew]

looks like a unity scene

lol

[meager oar]

sort of day and night cycle

[subtle bison]

wow is that just with the addon?

[meager oar]

yus

[subtle bison]

amazing

[earnest yew]

i like how all the floor detail keeps vanishing

[subtle bison]

mmm noise 🤤

cant have vanishing detail if you dont have detail

[meager oar]

i think thats due to pom, if i disable it the texture might be more stable

[subtle bison]

oh my fuckin gawd

are we getting hw skinning???

🙀

[keen rivet]

if i can figure the fuck out how the hell to do that for flexes

.........

[earnest yew]

Og Na Goid

AWer ewwgeytting

AHwdtware skiingkin

Ogh my Goid

[keen rivet]

i think it will need model recompile or something

[subtle bison]

for like sw.vtx?

or something else

im not very familiar with that stuff

[keen rivet]

uhh i don't know either

[earnest yew]

add a auto recompiler that recompiles every model to ever exist

deadline 5 hours

[meager oar]

lighting from skybox? i guess

[keen rivet]

who was it who was having trouble getting the base props to replace?

[earnest yew]

your dumb

and awesome

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet look veeery closely 🙂

[keen rivet]

am looking

[subtle bison]

closer

[keen rivet]

am i blind

[subtle bison]

look at the first part of the resolution 🙂

[keen rivet]

coming soon to a gmod rtx near you

[keen rivet]

3480?

[subtle bison]

yea

[keen rivet]

what about it

[subtle bison]

its supposed to be 3840

[keen rivet]

oh lmao

[subtle bison]

🤭

[keen rivet]

i wouldve never known that

i dont have a 4k monitor so i would've never cared what exact resolution they are

[subtle bison]

lol all good

[keen rivet]

this is pushed the the fixes repo btw

[subtle bison]

so what was the black magic to get stable hashes for skinned objects

[keen rivet]

ragdolls and animated shit still doesnt work

just those props do now

anything with bones = wont work

[subtle bison]

mind building a x64 dll? im on a vm without visual studio and im too lazy to build it

[keen rivet]

lol ok

[keen rivet]

bonus 32 bit

[subtle bison]

yipee bonus content

[earnest yew]

Erm what aboout pissgun?

[winter radish]

Meanwhile the physics-gun:

[keen rivet]

I have no idea how to do stuff with bones yet

[earnest yew]

Bitch Made...

[keen rivet]

but i did fix those props

THAT is something

[earnest yew]

Erm

[brittle token]

holy epilepsy that physgun

[earnest yew]

@keen rivet

fix the physgun

[keen rivet]

for now, to replace non replaceable models, just replace them in engine and replace their texture.

[earnest yew]

no but like

you have to do it

right now

https://tenor.com/view/ts-squid-game-squid-game-2-tuff-dance-tuff-gif-1192143770479362748

[keen rivet]

IM STILL RESEARCHING

[earnest yew]

uhuh

laziness

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2
readme updated to reflect latest unified release changes

:3

[earnest yew]

So Smart!!!

Baka!!!

[winter radish]

Sooooo anyone else see the March update changelog?

[keen rivet]

yeah

[subtle bison]

yas

[keen rivet]

one of my changes is in there :)

[winter radish]

custom shaders 🗣️

[keen rivet]

dont need no boring raster shaders in this RTX world

[winter radish]

GTX users deserve love too

[keen rivet]

its time to upgrade

[winter radish]

RDNA 1 users: "NEVER"

They got RADV, they fine

Also I love the HL2 RTX assets in Gmod

[keen rivet]

yee they're good

[earnest yew]

how the fuck

half of the models dont work for me

[keen rivet]

i fixed that a while ago

[subtle bison]

i have been betrayed

[keen rivet]

and then just righ now i fixed MORE

[keen rivet]

what model is that

oh

wtf

[subtle bison]

plastic building materials

[winter radish]

Just decompile them

[keen rivet]

OHi reckon my sig for x64 is fucked

lemme fix

[subtle bison]

btw dont worry about sending me dlls, i got vs installed

im so ready to delete my real windows partition

even NRC works fine in the vm 😭

[keen rivet]

the sig is fig

[subtle bison]

guh

[keen rivet]

fixed

[subtle bison]

[winter radish]

yummy

Also it seems the Tardis rewrite mod is more stable now in performance

the only problem is that doors addon

[earnest yew]

i did you fat little creature

[subtle bison]

amd user spotted
(a beautiful sight)

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/pizza-anime-eating-fat-lazy-gif-13463676749969709506

Do it again

[winter radish]

On these lighter maps I could probally raise the upscaling

[winter radish]

here's balanced which gets me like high 40s

[winter radish]

Drop it right now

I love Gmod RTX for how lightweight it is (depending on the map)

[subtle bison]

🙂

[steel lark]

cr idk if this is of any interest but... https://github.com/solsticegamestudios/GModCEFCodecFix

[keen rivet]

that better be a video showing how much it works

FFS

[subtle bison]

this was tested a while ago, it works fine

[keen rivet]

you did pull, right?

[subtle bison]

yep and rebuilt

[winter radish]

GIVE US 😭

[steel lark]

oh ok nice

[keen rivet]

run r_forcehwlight 1

what do you see

(thats not supposed to be on by default btw, just letting you know)

[subtle bison]

nothing changes

do i need to reload the map?

[keen rivet]

shouldn't

can you quadruple check you rebuilt it?

[subtle bison]

sure

[earnest yew]

ladies

[earnest yew]

Bust

[winter radish]

Holly

[keen rivet]

oo what map is that

[winter radish]

rp_city8_2

[earnest yew]

wtf

is that paper bag

metrocop soccer???

[subtle bison]

yep, no changes, made sure r_forcehwlight 1 was set before spawning any props

[keen rivet]

what the fug

[keen rivet]

can you send me your entire console log?

[keen rivet]

pushing a change, pull and recompile

[winter radish]

Nice brick

damn this map is loading everything

[subtle bison]

same map you mentioned before?

[winter radish]

this one is the hl2 varriant
so rp_city8_2_hl2

[keen rivet]

quite the map

[winter radish]

Indeed, the neon lights have so much potential

I wonder why the hl2 version which is basically a day version is loading much more

should be the same textures

even the fence works

I'm having so much fun just looking at what works, lmao

[keen rivet]

everything that isn't a model with bones (or some other mystery condition that applies to portal assets) should work

[subtle bison]

🙂

only weird thing i notice is my hand models dissapearing

but yipee it works

[keen rivet]

do not have r_forcehwlight 1 on

its a test convar

the new prop hashes fix should apply to everything it doesnt break

[subtle bison]

oh ye it does work

nice work xenthio

🙏

[keen rivet]

[subtle bison]

ok but like how close are to hw skinning lmao, with that test cvar, bones are broken but the viewmodel hashes are stable lmfao

i think you're about to crack the code

[winter radish]

I found my one true love: Remix

[subtle bison]

i have never seen such a model-heavy map have so many stable hashes

🤤

this is fucking awesome

[atomic pagoda]

Do you guys know how I can change the sun position/time/skybox in game?

[willow fog]

Very carefuly

[winter radish]

update: the night version is enhanced with the same textures, I'm just fucking blind

[subtle bison]

saddaasahffwfhhfwufhwefef ef
holy fuckin shet the entire map is stable

i can finally remove these stupid fucking alpha trees, its a god damn miracle

[winter radish]

Using Scars, I can drive the enhanced HL2 RTX car

[subtle bison]

lmao nice

[keen rivet]

no idea

[atomic pagoda]

Ive seen some people manage to turn ravenholm into day, is that possible in the remix settings or do I have to edit in hammer?

[subtle bison]

they probably used the fallback light settings which are really buggy
this is a more elegant solution if you're using gmod rtx
https://github.com/sambow23/hdri_cube

[winter radish]

THE FUCKING LIGHTBULB IS ENHANCED

[subtle bison]

i go sleep sleep, today has been a peak day

🎉

[winter radish]

@earnest yew TTT Clue is loading enahnced HL2 RTX assets now

@keen rivet Ravenholm seems to be working much better now

It's funny because it's running better than the actualy HL2 RTX 😆

Though there is still a lot of enhancements missing

[subtle bison]

are you not cpu bound or something?

it shouldnt really run any better unless that's the case

[winter radish]

I mean I was in the CPU requirements for HL2 RTX

[subtle bison]

is your gmod x64 or x32

[winter radish]

x64

[subtle bison]

x64 does selective culling so its a lot easier on the CPU depending on the map

x32 and hl2rtx completely remove it

[winter radish]

oof

[subtle bison]

x32 is still preferred because of that tho lol

[winter radish]

Nah I'm good 😅

[willow fog]

What the sigma??

[keen rivet]

32 bit i get 8 fps on ravenholm in gmod

[brittle token]

tf2 locker decided to get artistic

also, the context menu works now :o

[winter radish]

[brittle token]

woah

icon rendering really messes things up

[willow fog]

Ah yes

Vertex soup

The vertex soup store

[brittle token]

art

[compact blaze]

Is that mingebag?

[compact blaze]

How did u get ravenhom to look like this in gmod 💔 💔

[earnest yew]

bro just says shit and dosent post pics

💔

[half viper]

Did you ask king David about it? He implemented hw skinning for dark Messiah and vampire the masquerade

[keen rivet]

HE DID???

oh, he might have actually modified the code though, where I'm limited to hooks and hex patches

[keen rivet]

I'll ask anyways @woeful phoenix hi hello

Well, we have hardware stuff working just not anything with bones

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet do we have any plans to move our lua/bm fixes outside an addon? like maybe injecting into the game? just curious to see what you think

[keen rivet]

We cant do lua interface outside of the binary module I don't think

So I think we could try loading the binary module in the main menu's code

I haven't tried it yet

[earnest yew]

i solve practical problems

[quasi blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-team-fortress-2-meet-engineer-sfm-gif-5687843835765557316

[subtle bison]

real

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/ao-sorakado-ao-ao-rope-summer-pockets-summer-pockets-anime-gif-12140292025840396967

Sounds like I have to kidnap someone

[meager oar]

what's the difference between King David and King Vulpes ?

[willow fog]

The difference is that one makes cool stuff and the other endlessly yaps about steam releases while playing on hardware that can't even run remix

[onyx ridge]

guys deltarune today

[willow fog]

What

[subtle bison]

mean 😦

@winter radish
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3450023523&searchtext=
this should be on the TTT map pool

[willow fog]

It's the TRUTH

Everything that I said is based on reality

[subtle bison]

doesnt mean it has to come out of your mouth

[willow fog]

You cannot stop me

[winter radish]

Ooooo

[winter radish]

[subtle bison]

why are TTT maps so peak

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1239498550&searchtext=ttt

this looks awesome in remix

[winter radish]

Can’t say that without pics

😫

[winter radish]

I’ll grab some in a sec

[subtle bison]

im working on it

inputs are a bit buggy, gamestreaming this

[winter radish]

Actually peak

Also make sure to load up multiplayer to see how that effects it

[subtle bison]

2 player lan mode breaks it immediately

everything is culling and graphics are fucked

if its SP then it works

so i guess niknaks isnt wired up for multiplayer

[meager oar]

is it 64bit?

[subtle bison]

ye but niknaks is failing to load, so this probably happens on x32 too

even so, x32 would still work better for MP in this case

[remixbinary] Couldn't include file 'includes\modules\niknaks.lua' - File not found or is empty (@addons/remixbinary/lua/autorun/cl_rtx.lua (line 26))
  1. unknown - addons/remixbinary/lua/autorun/cl_rtx.lua:26```

sandbox fails in the same way

so its not exclusive to TTT

[winter radish]

Yeah, so multiplayer maps have to be carefully picked on x64 😅

[meager oar]

i loaded a 128 MP server on dust2 and it seems to be stable in 32

[winter radish]

@subtle bison when you find the one true map

I need HL2 RTX now

[subtle bison]

im gonna try messing with a dedicated server and see if i can get niknaks working on it

[winter radish]

[earnest yew]

buss

[quiet scroll]

I made a mod with this map idk which hashes it was for but

[meager oar]

idk why these slabs disappear in this map

[subtle bison]

[compact blaze]

I feel this doesn’t make you very happy

[meager oar]

yea idk if your happy or angry with that emoji 😅

[subtle bison]

from far away it looked happy

oops

[meager oar]

so your angry?

[subtle bison]

nah im happy

anything to optimize gmod is a blessing

[meager oar]

also im confused is HDR wrking here?

[subtle bison]

is this a HDRI skydome or source

[meager oar]

a skybox

[subtle bison]

guh

[meager oar]

i mean the sun is glowing and not over exposed so its wrking?

[subtle bison]

ok but is it source engine's skybox or a HDRI

[wispy crest]

I feel like im going insane, the hl2 rtx mounting is not working and im not sure why

[meager oar]

source engine skybux

[subtle bison]

what is the specific issue with mounting

[wispy crest]

it flat out doesnt do anything

[subtle bison]

so nothing is replaced on a map that uses thosee materials in the demo?

[wispy crest]

yes

[subtle bison]

you might have to do the manual extraction trick pinned in this thread

there is a bug with remix loading rtxio files with other mods so its required in most cases

[wispy crest]

yeah i was afraid of that

[meager oar]

ohhh i get wat u mean, yea its a hdri sky

[subtle bison]

guh, that setting should not affect HDRI skydomes

like at all

is the skydome marked as a sky?

[meager oar]

😂 bro i got confused so badly sorry

[subtle bison]

lol all good

[meager oar]

its a hdri but i converted it into a hdr skybox textures like in 5 pieces and replaced it

[subtle bison]

💀

ok then i cant really help you there

i think octotex is only able to do that right

[meager oar]

ye i used octatex 😏

dayum imma try a night sky next, glowy moon

wch one looks better

[willow fog]

2

[subtle bison]

1

the sky isnt blown out and underexposed at the same time

oh this is just with ACES

good god we need AgX

[meager oar]

😭

[willow fog]

Another reason to implement it

Get to work, CR

[turbid barn]

How did you fixed hl2rtx textures?

[winter radish]

You'll have to decompile them

If you haven't alreadly

[turbid barn]

Manually all textures?

[winter radish]

It's more automated then that

let me find the tool

or @earnest yew Mind linking the extraction tool?

[subtle bison]

the manual way is also pinned here

[winter radish]

ah ok

[winter radish]

oh wait manual

[turbid barn]

oh i see

[compact blaze]

How’s everyone doin today?

[winter radish]

Messing with Linux stuff to see if I can replace the Portal 2 Linux Vulkan with Remix Vulkan

[willow fog]

idk why but they just don't show up for me

manually unpacked and all\

[turbid barn]

THIS WILL BREAK HASHES FOR OTHER MODS, BEWARE "
even for old hashes mods?

[subtle bison]

oops that needs to be removed

no, that tweak enables old hashes in the first place

[turbid barn]

Yes, because that instruction was written before moving to old hashes

That's why i've asked, ty

[meager oar]

i like the sky in non aces and the interior and exterior in aces, need both 😦

[subtle bison]

did you use the launcher to mount or did you do it the manual way

[willow fog]

manual

textures show up fine

meshes are hit or miss

[turbid barn]

Should i skip some steps from tutorial?

or only last one?

[willow fog]

WAIT

[subtle bison]

nah i removed that one step, if you do it all manually then it should work, just dont use the launcher to mount hl2rtx

[turbid barn]

Why launcher's mount will not work?

Like, if i replace hl2 textures

[wispy crest]

yeah the mounting doesnt work for me either

[turbid barn]

Launcher just creates shortcut for mods/hl2rtx folder, isn't it?

[subtle bison]

because it relies on the rtxio packages to mount

which wont work if you have other remix mods

so extracting the game works around it

we might fix this at a later point but it would be nice if nvidia fixed the bug

[wispy crest]

what if i only have hl2rtx

[subtle bison]

the gmod rtx compat mod comes with a water mod so if you delete that, the launcher mount should work

i dont recommend doing so though

[willow fog]

Still not all of them

hmmm

[wispy crest]

why so

[willow fog]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

hmmmmmmmmm

also crash

I think I'm just not gonna bother with hl2 stuff until it's released

[subtle bison]

idk about the couch, but the barrel should be replaced

[willow fog]

the couch is

the barrel isn't

[subtle bison]

if you want to use other remix mods,

[willow fog]

the cylinder is

[turbid barn]

hm, there is should be only assets folder in .out after using RtxIoResourceExtractor.exe?

because instruction says everything

because after i've completed all steps, textures are still solid gray

but props are not replaced anymore

[subtle bison]

the out folder should look like what it does in the 2nd screenshot of the guide

btw, yes deleting the water mod makes the launcher mount work

this means you need to remove all remix mods other than HL2 RTX to make it work without extracting

[compact blaze]

Vfire right?

[willow fog]

What the skibidi? This is really fucked up

[compact blaze]

I still don’t understand how u made the grass appear and the lighting correct 💔

[turbid barn]

nah, it's still decomps only one folder

[subtle bison]

it just kinda works

[compact blaze]

U got no explanation on how that happened?

[subtle bison]

i mean its always worked

[turbid barn]

I've extracted, not mounted

[subtle bison]

only on ravenholm since they're attached to the displacements most likely

its not an asset replacement

[compact blaze]

No I mean like specifically the lighting and grass, cause when I did it none of the grass appeared and the lighting was extremely broken

[subtle bison]

huh

[compact blaze]

Like in one of the rooms I had to angle myself away from the light to make it appear and even when u slightly move the light just disappears

[subtle bison]

so just regular light culling?

[compact blaze]

No it’s not that, first of all changing light culling settings did nothing

And I had to place myself in a specific area and angle myself in a specific way

Which was really hard to get

[subtle bison]

might need to record it

[compact blaze]

And then the light appears correctly

[compact blaze]

Ya I’ll record it

[willow fog]

@subtle bison fvf is seriously broken

[subtle bison]

ok what is the context here

is a light dissapearing when enabling it?

[willow fog]

look at the lights

yeah

Or maybe this

[subtle bison]

how many times have you messed with it before recording

[willow fog]

once

but it was doing the same thing

[subtle bison]

i guess ill go to these specific maps and see if i experience anything similar

but remember, x32 does not have these issues

[winter radish]

At a fraction of the performance

[subtle bison]

man was i wrong about NRC not crashing my driver anymore

ugh

fuckin peice of shit

nvm its the hl2rtx assets

[subtle bison]

embed fail

[wispy crest]

yeah so what does this mean lol

wtf

why'd it do that

[turbid barn]

should old rtx assets made for hl2.exe work now on old hashes?

[subtle bison]

ye

everything that worked before, works here

for both x64 and x32

[wispy crest]

why my embed no work

[subtle bison]

you probably recorded it in a weird codec or container

[wispy crest]

its just shadow play

[subtle bison]

switch to h264

discord doesnt support h265

[wispy crest]

it was av1

[subtle bison]

ok even worse

[willow fog]

lol

[wispy crest]

its what it defaulted to lol

[willow fog]

so does fvf only work for a single second?

Less, actually

[subtle bison]

im still waiting for the video to send

[subtle bison]

but tl;dr you fuck with the settings too much

[willow fog]

No

[subtle bison]

its nowhere as bad as your video

[willow fog]

I just turned it off and on

In never worked to begin with

[subtle bison]

i did not touch it at all when loading into the level

and it works here

[willow fog]

Also

I think my extracted assets might be fucked

Those tables in the end are completely white for me

[subtle bison]

anyway, ill look into FVF sometime, i think i know what's going on

but for now, i would not touch it at all unless you're in a level with a small amount of assets

[willow fog]

hm

[subtle bison]

it has to batch process a fuck ton of stuff, so toggling it back and forth can break it

same for changing settings, especially on large maps like this

[willow fog]

But it was on by default and it still didn't work

[subtle bison]

you might have something else interfering with it, are you using 0.6.5?

mine is a clean install of that

with few addons

[willow fog]

Same

Mine is also clean

with a bunch of addons but nothing should interfere with it

[wispy crest]

ok so what does this mean

[subtle bison]

none of the core addons are loading

[wispy crest]

ok how do I fix that lmao

[subtle bison]

click this

you should see some lua errors

send them here

[wispy crest]

https://i.imgur.com/ur36zHj.png

i dont believe that is correct

my gpu definitely supports these things

[subtle bison]

you can ignore all of those

we modify the engine to run in a legacy rendering mode so that's normal

[wispy crest]

oh right

[subtle bison]

so you have no lua errors at all?

[wispy crest]

no

[subtle bison]

guh

load a map and send the output of your console here

[wispy crest]

my game crashed before, should i load a map first

[subtle bison]

yes

[wispy crest]

https://i.imgur.com/LnbjxBN.png

oh i see

[subtle bison]

you need to install niknaks

[wispy crest]

oooh right

duh

[subtle bison]

also remove gwater2

[wispy crest]

yeah i keep forgetting to do that

https://i.imgur.com/lt7Ki8r.png

[subtle bison]

is niknaks installed?

[wispy crest]

yes

[subtle bison]

uhh

restart your game

[wispy crest]

https://i.imgur.com/FNzDGNe.png

i have

[subtle bison]

well for some reason its not loading in your game at all

does it show in Addons in the game itself?

[wispy crest]

oh

[wispy crest]

all my addons didnt load

odd

[subtle bison]

💀

[wispy crest]

wtf

[subtle bison]

in the launcher, you didnt accidentally uncheck this right?

[wispy crest]

no

[subtle bison]

try opening your gmod normally via steam

see if addons show there

[wispy crest]

restarted the game and now it works?

awesome

[subtle bison]

lol

[wispy crest]

very cool

ok thats fixed now

[lament quartz]

[wispy crest]

some textures are still gray on construct

[subtle bison]

ye that is because hl2rtx has replacements for some materials that do not have textures

this would also happen if you ran normal hl2 maps in hl2rtx

just unmount hl2rtx and it will go away

[wispy crest]

yeah i figured

[earnest yew]

chilly gang

[turbid barn]

@subtle bison @wispy crest i have simillar issue. But i've deleted hl2rtx assets.

Not all assets being replaced.

[subtle bison]

huh?

atmospheric house uses entirely custom assets

[turbid barn]

Maps w/enhanced assets crashing in ~5 seconds

[turbid barn]

it also happened to gm_construct

[subtle bison]

oh

try nuking the entire rtx-remix/mods folder?

[turbid barn]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/gm-pool-complex-v2-rtx
this assets and not works

enabling them in rtx menu just makes lighting more accurate, but textures doesn't change

and https://www.moddb.com/mods/construct-rtx
this one has enhanced assets but crashing

[subtle bison]

does it only crash with these old replacements?

[meager oar]

did u use the rtx config in this mod?

[subtle bison]

uhh lets not use rtx.conf's from almost a year ago

remix 1.0.0 changed a lot of stuff

[turbid barn]

Um, no. But it doesn't contain it

[turbid barn]

i've only checked them atm

And hl2rtx assets are just not works

[meager oar]

actually 2 years ago 😎

[turbid barn]

but ig that could be rtxio extractor issue

[subtle bison]

good god no please dont

[turbid barn]

because for some reason it's just extracts assets folder with textures from only one map

[meager oar]

[subtle bison]

did you extract every single mod_*.pkg file?

there are 11

[turbid barn]

oh

Each time you run the command, increment mod_00.pkg up a number until you hit mod_11.pkg

[subtle bison]

ye

[turbid barn]

i've forgor 💀

[meager oar]

yay the moonlight castes light

[turbid barn]

But ig at first i should find how to fix old assets

btw, i have these patches/files installed

Before that, i've used Quick install, but faced crashes so tried to reinstall/swap

[subtle bison]

they should all work out of the box using quick install now

but i did not test old replacements

ill try the ones you sent in a bit

[turbid barn]

okay, it doesnt crash

but it seems not works at it expected

because it doesnt replace any of textures

just set ups roughness

okay, crashed after 20 seconds

[winter radish]

@subtle bison I promise I’ll be hopping on TTT today

[subtle bison]

can we please use x32 lmao, x64 is gonna suck if we cant use niknaks

[wispy crest]

how are you guys taking screenshots lol

[subtle bison]

snipping tool

win + shift + S

added PVS distance overrides for poorly optimized maps like poolplaces

should no longer be a stutterfest from engine renderlist overloads

[winter radish]

But hosting on x64 will allow both to join

[subtle bison]

ye but trust me you're gonna hate how x64 looks with full engine culling

[winter radish]

[compact blaze]

sharex STINKS 😡 🏳️‍🌈 😡 😡

lightshot ftw

[earnest yew]

sharex mogs ur dumbass

[compact blaze]

💔

[meager oar]

😍

[subtle bison]

i think this particular ravenholm map has issues with the lightupdaters or lights themselves being occluded by world geometry

its not really an FVF issue

the hl2rtx version of the map works a bit better

[compact blaze]

ah ok ty

[cloud bay]

I want that steam one so badddd

[keen rivet]

You need to either extract them, or disable all your other remix mods

[keen rivet]

Is that because culling is actually properly disabled lol

[subtle bison]

we call it "controlled culling" where i come from /s

[keen rivet]

Hl2 rtx I think uses area portals as controlled culling

[subtle bison]

vulpes confirmed it wasnt since the entire map was visible in his apitrace

[keen rivet]

Go to raven holm in hl2rtx

The beginning area only half the map is visible

[winter radish]

Can’t because I get 7fps
But that would explain why the first part is 80fps before dropping to single digits

[compact blaze]

mounted hl2 rtx on gmod and opened the rtx map and uh ya

[subtle bison]

why is your skybox so bright

also why are triggers visible

guhhh

[keen rivet]

That's 64 bit I bet

[winter radish]

You seem to be uhh missing assets

[compact blaze]

thats with hdr on

[compact blaze]

dang this a 64 bit thing?

[winter radish]

Mine looked fine besides the grass

[subtle bison]

this was also 64-bit 💀

[keen rivet]

Oh lol

[compact blaze]

exactly bruh wtf

[keen rivet]

No idea what is different

[subtle bison]

they had HDR on which breaks all map lighting

also displacements cull on the normal hl2 ravenholm map, but for some reason the hl2rtx one doesnt

ik x32 doesnt at all, just a weird detail i noticed

[subtle bison]

^

this was hl2rtx ravenholm on 0.6.5 x64 with nothing changed

[compact blaze]

ya uhhh hdr is off, at least lamps work now?

[subtle bison]

i wouldnt be messinging with ingame video settings at all

[compact blaze]

performance is horrendous tho

[subtle bison]

that breaks hashes

and other things

[compact blaze]

nah im showing hdr is off

[subtle bison]

performance was fine on my end?

[subtle bison]

these stutters look like vram leaks?

[compact blaze]

ya vram was beyond up

[subtle bison]

i think thats a common issue with the hl2rtx assets but i havent really experienced it

[compact blaze]

whats ur vram?

[subtle bison]

no idea if a newer driver helps with that tho

8gb, but im running the game at 1080p dlss ultra perf

also dont have any addons that munch on vram

like arc9 or anything that gets preloaded

[compact blaze]

mhm ofc

i still don't know why the sky is so bright

[subtle bison]

ye try loading into gm_flatgrass on a clean boot and check your vram

[onyx ridge]

oh my goodness

mixin

like

spongepowered

!?!?

[cloud bay]

who

ohhh

well i guess hahahah i got it from making minecraft mods

[keen rivet]

you shouldn't need to touch these

[compact blaze]

I touched nothing other than setting hdr and off

[keen rivet]

@subtle bison just realised the fixes-2 dvxk.conf doesn't include

rtx.useObsoleteHashOnTextureUpload = True

which might explain why some people are having mounting issues

[subtle bison]

its inside the rtx.conf

i've already showed the hashes work fine with a clean install as well

[compact blaze]

the funny thing is

[keen rivet]

wtf

huh

i did a clean install and it wasn't in there

i had to add it

[subtle bison]

you said dxvk.conf

not rtx.conf

[keen rivet]

yeah i added it in here

[compact blaze]

i give up im just gonna redo my gmod install aint gonna lose anything dw

[keen rivet]

launcher makes redoing an install super easy :D

[subtle bison]

once again, it's in rtx.conf, not dxvk.conf

[keen rivet]

errrrrr

i donnt see my mounted stuff

isnt it meant to be in dxvk.conf?

[subtle bison]

no, it works in either

[keen rivet]

oh

[subtle bison]

do you have more than 1 remix mod installed

[keen rivet]

no

but it wasn't even doing the grey texture shit that more than one remix install does

it should probably be in dxvk.conf to avoid conflicting with user settings too

[subtle bison]

i just proved like 4 hours ago that it worked 💀

[onyx ridge]

so .... no me material remakes stuff and hl2 rtx together without having to double my disk usage

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/yapping-what-is-bro-yapping-about-gif-14759966213520192304

[potent agate]

skybox is still broken

[subtle bison]

i think this just applies to the normal hl2 ravenholm map with the hl2rtx assets?

[potent agate]

I'm using the hl2rtx one

[subtle bison]

weird, i had to unmount hl2 in gmod for the hl2rtx maps to work correctly

[potent agate]

it worked originally but then one restart later it looked like this and has since

[surreal iron]

Just to clarify, how should we go about manually mounting hl2rtx exactly?

I have tried mounting it both manually (as far as I understand to do it) and through the launcher and the result just ends up with the grey textures issue thats been reported on before, even though I only have hl2rtx mounted.

[pulsar flicker]

is there a newer tutorial for gmod rtx

[subtle bison]

if you want to load it via the launcher, delete the Water-newgmod folder in rtx-remix/mods

[surreal iron]

🤦‍♀️ oohp

[subtle bison]

obviously it breaks the water replacements, but its the easy way to get it working

[subtle bison]

first pinned message

actually no, follow this
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/blob/main/README.md

[pulsar flicker]

thanks

someone should make a video

[keen rivet]

Why does my shit crash now wtf

[pulsar flicker]

new update?

[subtle bison]

nah new update works fine

[subtle bison]

ingame or before that?

hl2rtx assets make my game unstable

[keen rivet]

they didnt before

[woeful phoenix]

Hello, it's me, King David

Welcome my youtube tutorial

Did you check the stuff I reversed from the Portal RTX modules yet?

[keen rivet]

nope, where are those

[keen rivet]

wait i just realised you're the guy who answered by question in the dark messiah modding chat lmao

[woeful phoenix]

To keep it simple the 3 components are making sure you have the bone information, transferring the bone matricies to the D3D9 module, and then enabling the D3D9 module to actually use it for this render

[woeful phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/diggs-stefon-stefon-diggs-him-i'm-him-gif-5644142888160454621

Sad that you didn't know that but I knew you :\

[keen rivet]

thats how much different username/nickname trips me up

no i knew you but as two different people

lmao

[woeful phoenix]

That's amazing

Let me get the link to my stuff 1 sec

[keen rivet]

hell yeah

[compact blaze]

Are you the guy who did wiremod for gmod? Icon looks similar

[woeful phoenix]

#1098843924602306601 message

This is step 1 here

You want to get the actual, total bone count to be in the bone controllers because that is what source uses to set up the D3D9 matrix stuff internally

[keen rivet]

do you have your finished version that i can reference? lmao :D

I might be able to slide it in

[woeful phoenix]

#1098843924602306601 message This is more like step 3 but I am putting it now because I want you to kinda see how you would pass matrix info into D3D9 incase the engine doesn't have that (which it probably doesn't)

you will also want to do m_pD3DDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_INDEXEDVERTEXBLENDENABLE, TRUE);

To enable the actual usage of the additional matricies you provide

[woeful phoenix]

You are practically looking at the finished version

[keen rivet]

fuck i dont have the sig for getting the d3ddevice for the 32 bit branch lmao

[keen rivet]

oh lmao

[woeful phoenix]

The problem with Dark Messiah is that it's old as fuck

But the logic steps are about the same

Let me just dump my entire shit in the DM chat

[keen rivet]

i'll make sure to credit you HEAVILY for all this :D

[pulsar flicker]

this keeps happening

this is on v0.6.0

[woeful phoenix]

I absorb your soul

[keen rivet]

thats fine

i think i have spares

[compact blaze]

Whos souls did you steal

[keen rivet]

everyone who launches gmod rtx gets it stolen

[meager oar]

try opening the map again, probably generating node graph crashed the game

[surreal iron]

one more question, probably abt as stupid simple as the first but.. well, I am not super well versed with remix.

Trying to mount any of the assets from either hl2rt or portalrt just cause a crash on map boot without fail, before anything is even displayed on screen.

I did go ahead and leave it hung for like, 30 minutes in the hope it was a fluke.. but it doesn't seem to be so. :/

I assume I am doing something wrong here, just no clue what.

[pulsar flicker]

i did it works now

now this happens

nvm

[meager oar]

yea u need to set the green stuff as ignore

[pulsar flicker]

fixed

[winter radish]

Sorry, AMD already took mine

Get recked

[pulsar flicker]

is there a fix for the arms

[subtle bison]

this is all set in the rtx.conf in the 0.6.5 release, i dont think you installed the game correctly

[pulsar flicker]

prob

[meager oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJFeGO9cOAk

[subtle bison]

do a clean install of gmod and follow this
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

[pulsar flicker]

sweet

[surreal iron]

seeing that screenshot gave me an idea.. and i launched a map while having enhancements disabled... and i actually am in game with hl2rt assets

so i guess if anyone else has a similar issue, thats your hacky way around it

[onyx ridge]

is that with other asset mods

[keen rivet]

[surreal iron]

no thats.. just in general

:/

idk why it was happening to begin with, my hardware is def over spec for what is required and whatnot

and if it was a software issue you'd think others would expirence it too

[keen rivet]

time to find signatures

wtf i was typing it in and copilot suggested it in like amost correctly

2/4 found

[pulsar flicker]

way to get rtx remix with workshop game maps or no?

[keen rivet]

3/4 found

[keen rivet]

should work with workshop maps?

[pulsar flicker]

my game crashes

[keen rivet]

on all maps?

maybe you've got a workshop addon that it doesn't like

try disabling them all and only enabling the maps

[copper ibex]

how do u open that menu?

[steel lark]

alt + x

[copper ibex]

ty

[surreal iron]

okay, scratch what I said earlier. I could only get a few assets to load in under very specific circumstances.

I guess that mounting remix assets is just borked for me specifically.

The water replacment works fine, map packs from moddb are too, just not these larger ones.

@subtle bison does the binary on 32 bit work for you?

cant check i am playing repo rn

but it was working earlier this morning 🤓

[keen rivet]

oh lmao

[pulsar flicker]

also how do I content mount

it just has grey textures

[keen rivet]

you need to disable/ delete the other mods in rtx-remix/mods

dude what kind of crash is this

TTT anyone

didnt work

[keen rivet]

Are some of the replacements working? Right now the hl2 ones don't include assets that aren't for the demo

So anything replaced but not in the demo will be grey

[pulsar flicker]

idk

cant tell

[subtle bison]

ok gonna check rn

i swear this was working yesterday

assets seem to load tho

ok one relaunch later and its fine

nvm it crashed again lmfao

yea these hl2rtx assets just bog remix down so hard

2 seconds before it crashed

sky is bright as hell on x32, not sure why x64 isnt, they share the same rtx.conf and stuff

not really a complaint, just weird that it happens

[pulsar flicker]

mine just looks gray

[subtle bison]

you need to delete other mods other than hl2rtx when its mounted

your folder should look like this

[pulsar flicker]

tried

ill try again

[subtle bison]

x64, same clean install as x32

like wtf

remix tweaking out

[half viper]

@subtle bison do we have r_fastzreject on 0?

[subtle bison]

context?

[winter radish]

Gmod stopped working after I updated it :/

[subtle bison]

still working for me, both of those screenshots are with builds updated in the last hour

[half viper]

// don't need CPU to handle Z buffer when anyone playing this is on a much better GPU than 2004
r_fastzreject 0

-hl2 rtx autoexec
i think its better to handle everything on the gpu

[winter radish]

[subtle bison]

do a clean install

[subtle bison]

ill try it but i dont think its gonna do anything on the gmod branch

[half viper]

watch it explode before our eyes

[subtle bison]

yea im not seeing any difference

game works like usual

[half viper]

hmm

just keep it there

[subtle bison]

ill go on a heaver map that's engine limited

yeah no difference at all

testing this on x32 btw
