[subtle bison]

prepare for unforseen consequences

[keen rivet]

i reckon my offset for m_pD3DDevice is wrong

[subtle bison]

100% bet im gonna be asleep when xenthio figures this out

[brittle token]

there's something strangely satisfying about going around the map tagging decal textures and seeing the map slowly render into completion

[pulsar flicker]

hl3 leak OMG

[keen rivet]

ffs the i dont see the hook for SetFixedFunctionStateSkinningMatrices even being run

[keen rivet]

i gotta go somewhere in an hour

[brittle token]

it's beautiful

[pulsar flicker]

stop posting cs2

lol

[brittle token]

cant, it's so beautiful my GPU IS BURNING AAA

[pulsar flicker]

oh god

[brittle token]

with dlss on balance

since cs2's lighting is baked via rt cores and the like, i suppose it's normal that they look really similar

bet they cant do this tho

been wanting to do this for a while lol

[keen rivet]

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/blob/main/source/HardwareSkinningHooks.cpp
okay, I'm leaving it as is right now.

@subtle bison I beg you to try finish this for me if you can lmao, because i cant get the offset for the d3d9 device and I don't think the offset for m_rgflCoordinateFrame and anything that uses and offset in SetFixedFunctionStateSkinningMatrices is right either. and i spent too long getting what i could get not crashing

or even feel free to find the 64 bit sigs too lmao

[brittle token]

they skin hardware on hooks

[subtle bison]

lol i did all of these things when i first started messing with gmod rtx

oh the memories

[keen rivet]

or even @woeful phoenix too, if you're willing to help us out even more 🥺

[woeful phoenix]

If the function isn't being called

You may not actually have the pathway made for it

IE you need to enable some concommands to wake it up

You should do a cheat engine trace when you call draw model

Drawmesh*

See where it goes

I unfortunately cannot commit the time to getting this one working because I'm already doing VTMB and will move on to trying to reintegrate the stuff that I've done for that game into remix for hopefully better replacement logic

[keen rivet]

you do? interesting

do you know what those might be?

we're 100% in the fixed function renderer mode

[woeful phoenix]

Make sure all the conditions are actually being met

The function taht I believe calls that is basically coming from an if else scenario

That's why I'm saying just do a long trace wit hcheat engine

and walk until you reach your point

The SDK should guide you on that if else

[keen rivet]

well, i'm actually overriding SetSkinningMatrices entirely (SetFixedFunctionStateSkinningMatrices is only used in that function so it looks like the compiler merged it in), so thats why i find it strange

[pulsar flicker]

@keen rivet shooting the pistol or any gun makes other lightsources visible to rtx remix. is there a fix

[keen rivet]

are they not visible by default?

might be FVF scuffed, use the 32 bit version of gmod for the best experience

[pulsar flicker]

this is what it looks like on my end

[keen rivet]

what are you using, 64 bit or 32 bit

[pulsar flicker]

i think 32

[pulsar flicker]

how do I double check/change to 32 bit

[keen rivet]

well, what branch of gmod is your vanilla install

[pulsar flicker]

ye

[keen rivet]

which one is it

[pulsar flicker]

none

[keen rivet]

oh ok, 32 bit

[pulsar flicker]

i just tried x86

it fixed it

[keen rivet]

dont use x86-64

do you have disable vertex lighting turned on in the original?

in spawnmenu's RTX options

turn that off if so

idk why its on by default for some people its so strange

[pulsar flicker]

that fixed it

thx

[pulsar flicker]

it kinda breaks it tho

on the viewmodel

[keen rivet]

What the fuck

That shouldn't happen

What even is happening there

[pulsar flicker]

on vs off

1 is the setting off

2 is the setting on

ill try on a different map

its only in the lights that are effected by disable vertex lighting being off

on most maps it shouldnt be too noticeable

this was the map

[meager oar]

dayum 😍

[runic gale]

is there a fix for this?

same for portal

[compact blaze]

Ngl that 2nd image goes hard as fuck

But ya since portal rtx and hl2 rtx’s files are in rtx io format, smth gmod remix doesn’t support yet

You have to manually extract each mod pack file for it to work

There’s a guide in the pins

[runic gale]

anyway can we get updated Map Icons for those HL2:RTX And Portal RTX maps?

i guess?

[compact blaze]

failure 💔

[compact blaze]

u have to mount hl2 rtx manually then unmount hl2 in gmod

[compact blaze]

did u check of hl2 is unmounted

[runic gale]

no

[compact blaze]

ya i think ur supposed to unmount hl2 in gmod

[runic gale]

okl

then why my HDRI sky isn't working

[compact blaze]

wdym? like u can't open the menu?

[runic gale]

yeah

or spawn the cube

[compact blaze]

maybe try reinstall the mod with a newer version on github?

or did u just install the mod rn

[runic gale]

0.3 is for 32bit

[compact blaze]

weird

[runic gale]

but i'll try

still the same when it's unmounted.

[compact blaze]

ya i have no idea what those things are

@subtle bison WAKE UP STOP BEING AMERICAN

[runic gale]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[compact blaze]

sadly skinned meshes don't get replaced

[runic gale]

lighting seem bugged

so yeah button or cube didn't get replaced

[compact blaze]

again those seem to be skinned meshes so they can't get replaced

[analog bane]

do i need a addon pack anymore for rtx remix?

[compact blaze]

im guessing same with hl2 rtx u just manually mount portal rtx and then unmount portal in gmod

[analog bane]

or only the nik naks

[runic gale]

no wonder why some gmod texture is missing

idk it's looks bugged for me

[analog bane]

how can i fix tinted glass texture?

[subtle bison]

bro why you doing my addon like this 😭 this rarely happens

[runic gale]

Having problem with new update and my gmod and lighting looks werid

and HDRI skybox are not working

[subtle bison]

yes i saw

[runic gale]

0.2 and .03

[subtle bison]

this is because you have hl2rtx mounted

[subtle bison]

also you probably have addon interfering with the hdri editor

[runic gale]

tried with all addons disabled but not changing skybox

and i don't get the Ultites tab option

[subtle bison]

you still need Niknaks enabled

[runic gale]

it is enabled

it did change the lights

but not the sky

even i have textures installed

[subtle bison]

starting with 0.2, its moved to the context menu when you hold C

[runic gale]

so it dosen't spawn the cube as map loaded?

[subtle bison]

it still does, i just moved the menu there

also how did you install 0.6.5 if at all

you need the latest compat mod

[runic gale]

i did

6.5 installed

i removed the old remix addon folder

replace the existing files

then i started playing with new launcher

[subtle bison]

uhh you need to install 0.6.5 with the launcher

you cant do it manually anymore

[runic gale]

ugh

do i have to re-install with launcher?

find this annoying

[subtle bison]

yes most likely

[runic gale]

just open launcher -> install and fixes package and click install/update

[subtle bison]

nah I'd move the launcher to a new empty folder and click quick install

it selects all of the right stuff for you

[runic gale]

dosen't that means Copy?

[subtle bison]

it symlinks stuff from your main gmod install so it doesn't take much space

[runic gale]

So i can install Gmod RTX anywhere

[subtle bison]

yes

[runic gale]

yea

[subtle bison]

run the launcher as admin

[runic gale]

did

[runic gale]

same

yeah

werid

idfk

@subtle bison @keen rivet can we have option to change Vanilla Gmod Install folder?

Installed clean Gmod on different drive and Launcher won't able dectect the new installation

yeah

what the fu

then it broke

Yeha I don't really like this new update

can't even get to work properly

[surreal iron]

I..

what

[runic gale]

even the light updates are not doing work well

[wispy crest]

https://i.imgur.com/EBW9sdD.png

mmmmm

[runic gale]

it's really annoying

even the light updaters are just weird when i get close to them they disappear

wait

forgot get required addon

yeah fixed

[runic gale]

@subtle bison @keen rivet uhh

has to be "portal prelude rtx" instead of "prelude_rtx"

and rtx mod path is

Portal Prelude RTX\rtx-remix\mods\prelude_remix

[meager oar]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/csgo-dust2-rtx/downloads/csgo-dust2-rtx

[runic gale]

:\

[runic gale]

cool

[turbid barn]

hm

i've made a clean installation on 0.6.5 using launcher

and HDRI (i use 0.3) seems not working

and i've also notified some weird blue artifacts on water using RR on
(doesn't matter, cnn or tf)
first ss - rr off
next two - rr on

[subtle bison]

yea i was getting the blue stuff as well after changing the hashes for the water replacement back

i can probably fix this, i think its a material problem with the replacement

[turbid barn]

hm, hdri preset 1 doesn't work for some reason

[subtle bison]

weird, i wonder if i forgot to fix the hash for that one

lemme check on my end

[turbid barn]

@meager oar how did you made volumetrics works?

I've made many clean re-installation of this game, but still didn't figure out how to

[meager oar]

disable atmospheric and select heavy fog

[turbid barn]

it just changes exposure

[meager oar]

yea the volumetrics in your end is also broken dayum

[turbid barn]

and brightness depends on my camera angle

[subtle bison]

its weird because we're using the same rtx.conf from hl2rtx

[meager oar]

yea

[turbid barn]

i've tried to make volumetrics works for a month

[subtle bison]

i also tried a clean config and i still couldnt get working volumetrics

[turbid barn]

they've only worked on x32

[compact blaze]

For some reason @meager oar’s conf is the only one to have volumetrics working I remember

[subtle bison]

for me volumetrics are as bugged as they are on x64

[meager oar]

im using a 2 years old rtx.conf

[compact blaze]

So weird, I remember when u send ur config it fully worked

[turbid barn]

okay i getting smth like fog as i go forward there

[subtle bison]

also something weird i noticed on x32, the hdri editor gets culled if im touching the ground, i can probably fix this but its weird that this happens

[turbid barn]

o, im getting that when i under lamps

[subtle bison]

@meager oar can you send your config again

[subtle bison]

ty

once again we'll try to use yours as a base

[meager oar]

i still dnt understand why it wrks for me but is broken or crashes for others 😅

[subtle bison]

no idea, but ill try to get it working for everyone

[turbid barn]

hell

[meager oar]

💀

[subtle bison]

i think this is the fallback light

try turning it off

[meager oar]

i thought i had disabled that before sending the conf here

[turbid barn]

yup

[subtle bison]

despite the other ongoing issues with the HDRI edtior, i dont get that lua error at all

[turbid barn]

that's why

[subtle bison]

@turbid barn do you get that error? in the message i replied to

[turbid barn]

point and spot were ignored, directional is not

only this

but not related to hdri

[subtle bison]

huh that one is weird, i think that is also due to a conflict with another addon

[meager oar]

does the fog wrk now for u in that conf?

[subtle bison]

my clean x32 install doesnt get any lua errors

[turbid barn]

my discord has crashed

but yes, now it works

but i've got 10x less fps

[meager oar]

yea everything in that conf is in max settings

[turbid barn]

yay

still less than mine rtx.conf

but more than max settings

is that issue with all playermodels fixable?

[subtle bison]

no because that legs addon is doing weirs shit to making them show up like that

its only visible because of the path tracing

you got two options

1. uninstall that legs addon and use pseudoplayer
2. keep using the legs addon but acknowledge the mod author would have to fix the weird bones

[earnest yew]

why don't they just scale the bones

[turbid barn]

that's issue not related to glegs3

[earnest yew]

instead of streaching them

[subtle bison]

lol good idea

[subtle bison]

but it is lol, its invisible in normal source

[meager oar]

headless longhands

[subtle bison]

i had this same issue almost 2 years ago

[earnest yew]

are we slow

simple solution

???

[turbid barn]

So the reason why i see that in RTX-Remix app viewport is gmod legs 3?

[subtle bison]

yes

try disabling it

it should go away

[turbid barn]

Shadows from first person will go away as well

[subtle bison]

yes, but thats why you enable rtx_pseudoplayer 1

i think i spelled it wrong but it does the same thing

just reload the map when you do

you will see your thirdperson model in first person, mark all of its textures as Player model texture in the runtime

[subtle bison]

ye reload the map

[turbid barn]

reload map after console command?

oh, my bad

[subtle bison]

but that lua error you had before might break it

so you might need to find the addon causing it

[turbid barn]

btw, will hl2 textures extracted will work on Hamza's rtx.conf?

okay, i will figure it out

[subtle bison]

probbably, he just has specific rtx settings that magically made volumetrics work, so im modifying it to include the hashes from the other rtx.conf and some other hl2rtx rtx.conf settings that shouldnt interfere

so hopefully we'll have a one-size-fits-all rtx.conf

all i did was change hashes 💀

this is gonna be fun

@meager oar how does your rtx.conf modify the viewmodel fov 💀

[meager oar]

i have no clue, the viewmodel is fine for me

[subtle bison]

also volumetrics still seem buggy?

[meager oar]

also theres abit of a dark circle on your left on the map, tthats caused by the atmospheric option in volimetrics

[subtle bison]

i turned it off

[compact blaze]

You can disable the setting to fix viewmodel fov

[subtle bison]

changing any of the remix viewmodel settings dont affect it

oh i found it

Max Z Threshold needs to be 0

[meager oar]

nah thats the hetrogenous or whatever volumetrics called, it moves the volumetrics instead of them standing still

[subtle bison]

im on the heavy fog preset in that vid

omfg

i think i figured out what broke volumetrics

[compact blaze]

Please tell us

[subtle bison]

its the fucking scene scale

this should not be affecting volumetrics

im gonna try this on the 0.6.5 rtx.conf

[meager oar]

💀

[subtle bison]

i think its fixed?

the bridge crashes so much its hard to figure it out

ill try a different map with more light shafts

x32 does not like construct remastered wtf

stuff isnt rendering at all

oh it's the mat_forcedynamic thing i gotta do to fix it

[compact blaze]

You sound very angry at remix in a very disappointed parent way

[subtle bison]

[meager oar]

set the transmittance measure to 1 and scattering albedo to 55,000 that will let us def know that volumetrics are wrking

[subtle bison]

i think its working?

the whole world gets dark with a transmittance measure of 1
also had to switch to x64 as changing any of the volumetrics settings makes x32 crash almost instantly

bridge was tweakin

[meager oar]

yea that happens in heavy fog i think its trying to simulate what happens in Real life

[subtle bison]

guess it works then

yipee

[meager oar]

u can get heavy fog with no dimmed sunlight if u enable atmospheric option and lower the height away from the skybox

[subtle bison]

which one

[subtle bison]

definitely working

🤤

[meager oar]

set planet radius to 50 and about the height the values are different for it in each maps, just scroll it up or down and see wch value is wrking for construct

[subtle bison]

oh HELL yes

[compact blaze]

Does this mean we’ll get a 0.6.6 release with the updated conf

[subtle bison]

yea

also want to include xenthios model hash stability stuff

[meager oar]

Check out the hetro volumetric aswell, set the noise field spatial to something like 0.03, the higher the value the more smaller each particle will be in the fog

good for misty or dusty maps

[subtle bison]

yea it looks nice

[winter radish]

Did a clean install, Gmod still not working :(

[subtle bison]

a specific error?

[winter radish]

Nope, just crashes on loading a map

[winter radish]

Oh wait, got one

[subtle bison]

is this with the latest launcher? xenthio fixed some patching issues in the newest one

[meager oar]

Enable dust particles aswell, literally looks like a galaxy if u set it in a absurd number

[winter radish]

ye

[weak ermine]

how i can fix this

[winter radish]

@subtle bison

[subtle bison]

is this x32?

[winter radish]

x64

[subtle bison]

oh wow i havent seen this error in a long time

[winter radish]

Also is this the normal construct map?

[subtle bison]

i guess ill redownload x64 and see if rubat broke patches

[subtle bison]

the missing water replacement?

its a 3 minute long video so saying what the actual issue is would help a lot

[weak ermine]

missing water and no lights

fov issue

[winter radish]

Switching to BlueAmulet patches fixed it

[subtle bison]

hm? blueamulet's is outdated for x64 for materialsystem patches

[turbid barn]

Have you checked first HDRI?

[subtle bison]

ye i fucked up the hash

ill fix it

[subtle bison]

you didnt swap the rtx.conf by any chance?

[winter radish]

[subtle bison]

oh wait it isnt

i forgot i made a PR

[turbid barn]

Hm, what has been caused that fake lights?

]

Directional is ignored

[subtle bison]

one thing to keep a lookout for is worse performance with blueamulet's patches as there is some incomplete culling patches

[turbid barn]

x3

[subtle bison]

if you're using popo's rtx.conf, they probably have fallback lights enabled

[runic gale]

@subtle bison any reason how to fix?

[subtle bison]

lol wtf

[subtle bison]

the fallback light

[turbid barn]

Sun censorship?

oh, see, ty

[turbid barn]

What you did in rtx.conf to fix volumetrics?

[meager oar]

yea i use fallback cause it has a option to get sharper shadows, wish it was a general option and not need fallback

[subtle bison]

i think a new remix might've broke what i did to fix the HDRI textures, i probably have to re-do all of these with the new blender trick

i get this too

[turbid barn]

hdri doesn't cast volumetric lighting

[subtle bison]

set scene scale to 1.00

[subtle bison]

im not really surprised, HDRIs dont use remix lights, they're entirely emissive and i dont think remix's volumetrics are built to handle this

[turbid barn]

and that's all?

[subtle bison]

yep

[turbid barn]

Lol

[runic gale]

i noticed something lacking

[winter radish]

Can confirm on x64, LVS works

[runic gale]

physgun dosen't emit glow

[winter radish]

This is gonna be fun

[subtle bison]

LVS?

[winter radish]

Luna's Vehicle System

allows you to drive planes, helicopters, spaceships

[subtle bison]

ah cool

[winter radish]

and you can spawn NPC controlled ones to have fights

max is like 20

[subtle bison]

dogfights rtx

[runic gale]

hmm

[winter radish]

On non rtx it lagged my PC

but in multiplayer you could have aerial warfare

[subtle bison]

because the viewmodel is rendered seperately from the world

[turbid barn]

but i've made gravity gun emmisive

[turbid barn]

and it casted lights on the walls

[runic gale]

Gravity Gun works a little bit

[turbid barn]

but randomly

yep, that's what i've just said, haha

[subtle bison]

this looks like a NRC bug

if you want both to emit light correctly, adjust the viewmodel scale

making it higher makes it emit light iirc

but it causes other issues

[turbid barn]

@subtle bison how enhanced assets priority works?

Like, if i make enhanced assets for these buggy by hl2rtx textures

will it will be a fix?

[subtle bison]

there isnt, hl2rtx has a lot of replacements without any textures so most of these textures will break

[runic gale]

Better wait for Complete HL2 RTX remix

[subtle bison]

maybe? it would require a script to properly remove non-working replacements

[runic gale]

i don't like the physgun glow effect it's seems looks big.

[turbid barn]

btw, i've notified that hamza's RTX.conf has better water refractions

[subtle bison]

they mess with the PBR modifiers, we cannot include those as it messes with other people's RTX mods

[winter radish]

Amazing

[subtle bison]

i was working on a new water replacement but its a little more difficult than i thought

[runic gale]

what a waste of time doing remixing my stuff until made a decision to bring back to old hashes

:\

[subtle bison]

you can keep the new system if you want

[runic gale]

how

[subtle bison]

open your rtx.conf, find rtx.useObsoleteHashOnTextureUpload = True and change it to False

[runic gale]

Nah, I'll stick with old hashes. I could remake it anyway

yea

[winter radish]

Peak Gmod

I'm very suprised with performance

[runic gale]

why it's so blur?

[winter radish]

TAA-U

[runic gale]

eh

[winter radish]

I haven't reinstalled the FSR mod yet

[runic gale]

@winter radish Don't think it's running Ray-tracing bud

That's looks like normal gmod lighting

[winter radish]

nah the assets are there

HL2 RTX assets

this is off

[runic gale]

kay

[winter radish]

Finally got the NPC planes to fight eachother, glorious

I need a RTX Space map

[pulsar flicker]

oh damn

thx

[pulsar flicker]

how did you fix your gray textures

[runic gale]

not hl2rtx textures

[pulsar flicker]

ah

@subtle bison do you know how to get them working

[subtle bison]

context? most gray textures are from replacements from textures that do not exist, this was intentional from the hl2rtx team

we dont have a script to remove the broken replacements currently

[pulsar flicker]

ah

so I have to remove manually

[subtle bison]

i wouldnt recommend doing that, but yes that would work.

[pulsar flicker]

what would you recommend

[subtle bison]

might be better to wait for hl2rtx to fully release

[pulsar flicker]

:(

big wait tho

[pulsar flicker]

how

broooo pleaseeee

[turbid barn]

just guessing if they will compress textures

because only ravenholm and nova prospect are 80+GB

Almost the same as CoD

[pulsar flicker]

lol

[pulsar flicker]

oh my god

this is why god stays in heaven

[distant crystal]

I'm sure once we get everything stable it won't take long to out do even ARK with all the DLCs at over 300 GBs

[turbid barn]

This will be HL2 rtx in release

[compact blaze]

dw this is cod hq so basically cod mw2, dmz, bo6, warzone along with all the ultra hd packs and language packs are enabled for download

[pulsar flicker]

mia mama

[turbid barn]

I have friend that has almost ALL cods installed with ALL dlc's (like, every multiplayer, every campaign, every zombies)

nah he is replacing the actual skybox

he has a legacy tool that is somehow able to replace materials for the skybox, the remix toolkit cant do this

[turbid barn]

i've fixed error with pseudoplayer in list

but still have this issue

[left spade]

hello all can anyone tell me if i need rtx remix installed for this mod to work

[subtle bison]

ye you have to manually mark the model textures as a player texture in the runtime as said before

[turbid barn]

oh, i really forgot about this flag

Finally came across this asset

@keen rivet Vines are enhanced, don't know if you came across that one

[compact blaze]

@meager oar hello can u pls tell me what tool ur using pretty pls with a Cherry on top ty

[subtle bison]

octotex, but i dont think it works correctly anymore, its been dead for a while

i think popo is one of the few people who still has it working

[meager oar]

if your asking for the sky replacements then octatex, nividia texture tool (if u want hdr) and this tool https://matheowis.github.io/HDRI-to-CubeMap/

[subtle bison]

finally got around to implementing this

HDRI editor now automatically disables directional lights when spawning a HDRI

[willow fog]

https://d.uguu.se/wzHcCaHj.mp4

[lapis delta]

wait, so now it's better to download the 32-bit version?

[subtle bison]

now that a lot of the x64 fixes have come to x32, yes

it might perform worse in some maps but its way more visually coherent than x64 lol

but both work relatively fine

[lapis delta]

media player doesn't work properly on 64 bit version anymore, right?

[subtle bison]

it does

its been working for a while

[lapis delta]

hm

it wasn't so soapy before

but now - yes

[subtle bison]

ye the soapy look is probably because i havent gone back to ignore the white texture for old hashes (this would affect x32 and x64)

im fixing that rn

[lapis delta]

like this

[subtle bison]

ye there is a white texture in front of the actual media player

i ignored it on new hashes but not old

ye it works fine after ignoring it

[brittle token]

is that a voices of the void reference? 🙀

[subtle bison]

lol

[tardy ibex]

tell me please how to fix this?

[subtle bison]

looks like your GPU is crashing out pretty hard

[tardy ibex]

wow

[subtle bison]

what gpu?

[tardy ibex]

rtx 4060

[subtle bison]

ah thats definitely more than able to run it, try updating your drivers if you havent already

[tardy ibex]

ок

[turbid barn]

randomly i can do screenshots on steam, but sometimes im getting just black picture

[subtle bison]

ye its a bug with the gmod camera tool

[turbid barn]

known when it's happening?

[subtle bison]

you can kinda workaround it, but you cannot use the camera tool at all

bind F12 "screenshot"

and then press F12 using anything other than the camera tool

[turbid barn]

the thing is, camera tool works

randomly, but works

[subtle bison]

oh yea it does

uhh just press F12 while in the camera tool

[tardy ibex]

I updated the driver but the error persists.

[subtle bison]

you can try x64 which doesnt use the bridge, set your gmod beta to this in steam, delete everything inside ur gmod rtx directory except the rtxlauncher and try the quick install again

[lapis delta]

where is the glow from the tv?

[subtle bison]

i probably have particle lights off in that screenshot

[lapis delta]

huh?

[tardy ibex]

I tried x64 but gmod doesn't start.

[subtle bison]

particle lights are required to emit light from emissives, its an option in the runtime

[subtle bison]

is there an error message?

[tardy ibex]

no

[subtle bison]

maybe do a clean gmod install itself? weird that both versions dont start up

[tardy ibex]

I did a clean install after updating the driver.

[subtle bison]

is there anything in /rtx-remix/logs?

[tardy ibex]

no

folder is empty

[subtle bison]

guh

for that clean install of gmod, if you open it via steam does it work?

[tardy ibex]

yea

[copper ibex]

dumb af question, but is there ANY way for the vram usage on the rtx to be lower? like my 8gb struggles even with dlss and performace mode (slight overclock too)

[subtle bison]

addons mostly contribute to that

gmod rtx without any addons only uses 2GB on my RTX 2080 @ 1080 DLSS perf on gm_construct

[subtle bison]

a lot of weapon mods precache their textures which is usually the worst offender

but there could be more i dont know about

[copper ibex]

so i should uninstall my weapons?

[subtle bison]

you dont have to uninstall them, just try disabling stuff, relaunching the game, load into a map and see if the vram usage is any lower

[copper ibex]

even better, i forgot about the disable feature. tysm since i play maps and i always sit at 99% in empty parts of a map

[subtle bison]

ye maps dont usually spike vram unless the author did something cursed with textures

so very rare in comparison to addons

i want to see if there is some way to clear precached textures in the engine but that would be quite the research effort

so idk anytime soon

[tardy ibex]

works, I moved the folder with rtx launcher from the desktop to disk D, installed it again and everything worked

[subtle bison]

glad it works

[copper ibex]

does anybody know how to make the glow from the physics gun to go away? i used to make it black and it just vanished but when i turn it black with rtx it just makes it white. and i hate the space it takes up

this is the glow i want to make disapear

[copper ibex]

tsym it worked

[earnest yew]

nasty ass pngs

[subtle bison]

trying to copy a working remix toolkit from my old windows install

agony

[meager oar]

dayum 1 day...💀

[subtle bison]

windows explorer copy fuckin sucks, teracopy ftw

[pulsar flicker]

master chef

[subtle bison]

hdri editor is much more stable now, its now always visible to fix culling issues on x32, but i removed its prim refs in the remix mod to make it completely invisible without having to mark it

perfeciton

you can now move around and stuff and it wont randomy dissapear

[brittle token]

oh damn, we are the hdri now

[subtle bison]

yes

[winter radish]

How do I use the hdri stuff

[weak ermine]

yeah im brainless. well now its fixed but another question, is how i can enable self shadow

i cant find pseudoplayermodel in rtx tab

[subtle bison]

its hidden by default, but the command still exists

[weak ermine]

uh

[subtle bison]

rtx_pseudoplayer 1 and reload the map

[weak ermine]

ok tysm

[subtle bison]

but you will have to manually tag the player model textures

[weak ermine]

i know

[subtle bison]

im about to push a new release for both the hdri stuff and gmod rtx fixes 2, so i'd wait for that to come out

[weak ermine]

just 2 random screenshots

[subtle bison]

might want to turn off the 1999 jpeg compression in whatever screenshot tool you use

[weak ermine]

default gmod camera

[subtle bison]

rip

maybe use windows snipping tool instead

[lament quartz]

Which map is #2 and #3

[subtle bison]

#3 is gm_sad

[winter radish]

Compression makes it look more photorealistic tho

[subtle bison]

[keen rivet]

anything happen overnight?

[subtle bison]

getting ready to push 0.6.6, includes your model fixes and some other stuff

should be a decent QoL update

fixed the old hashes water replacement, also made mwr skip water bodies since it was causing weird render issues with the replacement

muuuch better now

@keen rivet do you have any plans to stabilize hashes for world geometry in x32?

[keen rivet]

we'll see what i can do

i dont know whats causing the hashes for the world to invalidate right now actually

might be more cpu vertices bullshit

[subtle bison]

if you figure it out, it should let any remix mods created on x64 to work since mwr has stable hashes (ones that use world geometry to spawn stuff)

[keen rivet]

did you take a look at the hashes needed for hwskinning?

did you want to take a crack at finding them for 64 bit

[subtle bison]

nah i've been trying to fix user issues all day

[keen rivet]

i only did the 32 bit ones

ah alright

[subtle bison]

ill try to take a look once i can get a break lol

[subtle bison]

for every issue i fix, a new one creeps up

the engine culls water weirdly underwater. if i let mwr handle water again (me reloading the map in the vid, it fixes it, but then water looks soft)

yeah final verdict is let mwr handle the water, most users cant see the difference anyway

(x64 culling patches please magically show up one day pls )

i wish i knew why some people have different types of bridge crash issues

its just like it was 3 months ago, for some people the game wont start and are greeted with a bridge error. for me x32 crashes if i dare touch volumetric settings, and then finally it just randomly crashes sometimes

i know its not gmod since VS shows the assert in the bridge executable

ah fuck, so so my HDRI editor stuff has to be 64-bit only now? 😭

what prevents the API from working on x32?

i think xoxor4d had a fix for this but i guess ill make it x64 only right now

i just want to push this shit and go to bed

ill just make it not use the api function if its not available and also add a dismissable warning

[keen rivet]

bridge api

you need to use that instead

it should work with some ifdefs

[subtle bison]

oh ye

btw, the env lightupdater doesnt seem to spawn on gm_flatgrass on x32
this is on the new 0.6.6 release with rtx_disablevertexlighting 0

i tried a clean x64 install of the same release and it seems to work there so i dont think its a conf issue

nvm

im a fuckin idiot

i pushed the release with directional lights off by default

[willow fog]

Good job, CR. I am very proud of you. I hope you have a great rest of your day and make sure to take a break. No rush for the next release ❤️

[subtle bison]

guys im scared

[subtle bison]

lfg, the hdri editor no longer culls on x32 🎉

i made the changes without testing it at all lmfao

you know what they say, test in production

eepy time 💤

i lied, why is this showing for x64 lmfao

it was working 1 game boot ago too

NEXT RELEASE HARDWARE SKINNING

HOPEFULLY

[willow fog]

Lies

[pulsar flicker]

next release flesh skinning

[keen rivet]

why are so many things incorrectly marked as particle textures in the rtx fixes rtx.conf

[turbid barn]

I've noticed that too

But, if I'm right, RTX.conf from 0.6.5 archive on GitHub doesn't have these marked textures (everything is ok)

[turbid barn]

Are you publishing enhanced assets on Moddb?

[keen rivet]

uhh i think thats what im on?

[turbid barn]

Maybe I could be wrong

Because I remember few days ago I've downloaded some RTX.conf that had few textures marked

[half viper]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3451986505&searchtext=

@subtle bison could you try this?

its a map made out of props

looks like a worst case scenario

[weak ermine]

no i don't

[compact blaze]

What tools did you use for these assets?

[weak ermine]

i don't change anything

its default without pbr textures

except water

im too lazy to do something with it

so yeah

[compact blaze]

You’re brave to have your deviantart and furaffinity front and center in ur bio

[weak ermine]

💀

[meager oar]

😂

[subtle bison]

it's been like this since we merged a bunch of rtx.confs for the old hash system. I tried to remove as many as i could before i released 0.6.5

[keen rivet]

CR you should add an Extras tab to the launcher so that HDRI Editor and other tools can have installers and updaters in it

[subtle bison]

ye i prob will sometime

[river nexus]

I will wait until someone makes a mod for it because i have seen at least 3 different youtube tutorials, some requiring portal rtx,GitHub or just an exe

[subtle bison]

what are you on about

[meager oar]

o_O

O_o

[compact blaze]

accidentally reset settings whoopsie

[subtle bison]

the gmod rtx in my dreams

[compact blaze]

i wanna ask which install is recommended for 64bit

[subtle bison]

sambow23 for right now

it just disables the culling patches in the blueamulet repo as they're not finished

[compact blaze]

shame blue amulet is dead so they can't help us 💔

[subtle bison]

guh they are alive

[compact blaze]

shhhhhh

is it just me or does gmod rtx rn feel alot more uh, bounce lighty

like i can actually noise the bounce lighting

[subtle bison]

prob NRC

also why does your concrete have red speckles

[compact blaze]

prob some random mod i installed

[compact blaze]

u gonna go crazy when u see my bricks

[subtle bison]

shitbricks

[subtle bison]

it runs ok without RT, but remix shits itself for whatever reason

im missing a lot of content too lol

[compact blaze]

also any ideas on how to fix physics gun light going through the wall

[subtle bison]

i just outright disabled it on 0.6.6 because the sprite looks like ass

[compact blaze]

also for some reason uhh the game always crashes randomly after a minute or two

[compact blaze]

i have 0.6.6 installed

[subtle bison]

hu

did you change the rtx.conf that came with it?

your viewmodel settings should look like this

[subtle bison]

weird, i've been playing x64 all morning and i havent had any crashes

try turning off NRC

i had that issue on my old windows install

[compact blaze]

reinstalled to make sure and yup

[subtle bison]

something changed the hash of it i guess

[compact blaze]

nah its not a remix thing it seems, the game just freezes and i have to shut it down

[subtle bison]

ye that would be NRC

it crashes my gpu driver

[compact blaze]

i never had an issue with nrc tho

ill try play without nrc

[subtle bison]

i guess try restir gi and see if your game continues to crash

if it doesnt, send your remix logs here ig

[modern quest]

there are all kinds of things causing driver crashes right now 😦

[subtle bison]

guh what else

a new 24H2 install of windows fixed mine

[modern quest]

just... a ton lol

i've had it crash while idle, while in a game, while using affinity photo... so many things

Remix launching sometimes just crashes it

[subtle bison]

that might explain why i cant open gmod sometimes

[compact blaze]

my driver has not updated, still on same one

[subtle bison]

it just silently exits

[modern quest]

anything past 566.x is just horribly unstable

Remix requires 572 now though

so there's no winning

[subtle bison]

steam servers are freaking out today

been unable to download workshop addons and i cant even get gmod to load my existing ones lol

[meager oar]

yea im having the same issue

load times are at snail pace

[compact blaze]

insta crash when i went to the sea with restir gi

[subtle bison]

send your logs here

[compact blaze]

checking log crash isn't related to remix

[compact blaze]

in dms?

[subtle bison]

here, i dont think remix contains any sensitive information lol

[subtle bison]

ok well i guess its gmod

i dont see any driver crashes

how did you install 0.6.6 btw, quick install or manually via the launcher install tab

[compact blaze]

tried both

i also tried both binary patches

its why i asked earlier on what patch i should use for 64x

[subtle bison]

the culling patches wouldnt change the stability of the game

quick install defaults to the sambow23 repo as well

ill try updating my game and see if i get any stability issues

[compact blaze]

nah whenever i open the launcher it defaults to this

[subtle bison]

ye but quick install doesnt follow what's set here

[compact blaze]

ah ok

so its always just ur patches i used then

could my gmod crash log still help?

[subtle bison]

ye i can throw it into VS

[meager oar]

😍 sun shafts

[compact blaze]

can i add u?

[subtle bison]

sur

[compact blaze]

sent

[subtle bison]

btw are you using the latest launcher?

there was an issue with the older version not patching the game correctly

[compact blaze]

I’m using the latest dev launcher

From a few hours ago

[subtle bison]

guh

this is from your dmp

but i dont know which module its coming from

[compact blaze]

So it just can’t access the dump?

[subtle bison]

nah that's the actual error that crashed your game

[compact blaze]

I’ll try load up the game again with all addons disabled

[subtle bison]

also try 0.6.5 and see if its stable

[meager oar]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/aztec-csgo-rtx/downloads/azteccsgo/#8970680

[turbid barn]

fancy errors for some reason doesn't work for me

or gm rtx either

[subtle bison]

da hell is fancy errors

[weak ermine]

well i mean error models instead lamps models, this bro thinks i mean addon what has name "fancy errors"

misunderstanding

[weak ermine]

and yeah how i can fix this

gpu dont load only in some maps

[subtle bison]

because you're engine/cpu limitied

x32 gets hit hard the worst because there is no culling

x64 is a little better but its got its own issues

[weak ermine]

epic fail

[subtle bison]

there is no magic way to fix this unless we find a way to offload all world and entity rendering directly to remix

which is a very big feat

[weak ermine]

well

Theres so much new stuff lol

meh

[subtle bison]

nah they work for valve, i know one of them

misyl probably did a lot of the tf2 sdk and x64 stuff since they've been working on source engine stuff for a long time

make sure you're using the latest rtxlauncher, important patches are probably not being applied

[glass plinth]

game crashes upon loading when using rtx launcher 💔

is it because I have hl2 rtx mounted?

[weak ermine]

what is

lithium

[glass plinth]

wasn't it apart of the rtx fixes collection?

[glass plinth]

pretty sure the collection was FUCK'EM HALOS, NikNaks, Lithium, and Srlion's Hook Library

not in that order

[weak ermine]

wait

[subtle bison]

just niknaks now

[glass plinth]

oh damn

[subtle bison]

the rtx.conf that's included in the release has either been replaced or something broke your hashes

[glass plinth]

I did download your latest release from 18 hours ago and replaced everything

after I used the launcher to create the instance

[subtle bison]

sounds like the order was wrong, also do not manually install any archives from 0.6.5 or above

put the rtxlauncher in a empty folder, run as admin, click quick install

it does the rest for you

[glass plinth]

same thing happens on a fresh install unfortunately

i removed all previous remix compat addons except niknaks

[subtle bison]

maybe try reinstalling the main gmod install you have? something isn't right here

[winter radish]

Why the fuck do I still have the other ones installed

[subtle bison]

i mean you can keep em if you want lol

[pulsar flicker]

same but with mw base

downgrading fixes it @subtle bison v.0.6.5

[subtle bison]

so yall both did exactly this for 0.6.6?

this is with x32 but it also applies to x64, i tried it earlier today

[pulsar flicker]

ye but in the gmod steam download folder

[subtle bison]

huh?

its probably better to do it in a local directory like your user folder as shown in the video

[pulsar flicker]

ah

[subtle bison]

also are yall both using the latest release of the launcher?
https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXLauncher/releases/tag/v1.0.10

[pulsar flicker]

yes

v0.6.5 is working fine

v0.6.6 is broken for me with mw base

[subtle bison]

mw base seems to be working fine for 0.6.6 on x32 as well

[subtle bison]

x64 ^

[pulsar flicker]

weird

[subtle bison]

i dont think there is anything wrong with the 0.6.6 release itself, something else is happening

[pulsar flicker]

likely

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet if you can, try a clean 0.6.6 x32 install and test mw base

if its broken for everyone but me, i have no fucking clue what the difference is

so other people testing this out would help me a lot

[pulsar flicker]

@subtle bison could you send me your rtx conf

[earnest yew]

zwho want me

[subtle bison]

its the exact same one in the 0.6.6 release

[pulsar flicker]

ah

[weak ermine]

why this is so cool

i wanna live in this pool

rtx remix its mind-blowing technology

and gpu blowing too

[winter radish]

Believe it or not, I actually rank remix as one of the most optimized pathtracers on my list
