@subtle bison AMD does have access to Portal 2 with RTX right now btw

[subtle bison]

WHAT

wait

what makes this significant

they should already have source access to remix via github

[brittle token]

i was planning on getting a 1080p monitor, but when i discovered i could get it on 1440p and all the jaggies were gone i was amazed. but im paying it in performance

[winter radish]

Their engineering team is taking a look at it

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/please7tv-please-beg-pray-hope-gif-3860103425950934673

[wispy crest]

DLAA baby

or SSAA

[brittle token]

does remix have DLAA?

[wispy crest]

ye

[winter radish]

Right now tho, it’s just to investigate the poor AMD performance, example: RDNA 2 running far worse than RDNA 3 and GPU utilization issues

[wispy crest]

it's just full resolution dlss

[subtle bison]

got me in the first half

[earnest yew]

https://tenor.com/view/true-bro-just-typing-true-true-meme-gif-15468188584529029673

[brittle token]

oooooh

[compact blaze]

Also with it being open source, remix feels so complex and needs so many people behind it to get anywhere that I can’t see it getting restarted by an unpaid team, it’s like if activision was 50% into making the new cod, then gave up and made it open source for indie devs to finish off

[winter radish]

I mean, fixed RDNA 2 performance would be huge

[subtle bison]

we need a 👏 native 👏 fsr 👏 implementation

[wispy crest]

this is just Bethesda games

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/yoda-star-wars-gif-10940865116650073754

[subtle bison]

im gonna be on my deathbed before it shows up

[compact blaze]

I said open source not closed source you have to pay full price for

💔

[wispy crest]

the joke is that Bethesda games are half done and finished by the modding community

[compact blaze]

Ya ik I got it dw

[wispy crest]

I'm very worried

[subtle bison]

im gonna be like the killdozer guy and just go figure out how to implement FSR 3 into remix myself

fuck waiting around

[compact blaze]

For Bethesda or remix

[wispy crest]

no you said dw

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-gif-25117042

[compact blaze]

Ah ok

[wispy crest]

I'm being facetious

[subtle bison]

(I have absolutely no idea what i am doing )

[compact blaze]

I wanna ask rn what incentive does amd have to try support remix

Cause this sounds kinda crazy, them going out their way to check on a competitors product

[subtle bison]

we both know AMD is not making their own remix, so i hope they put their competitor bs aside

[compact blaze]

Ngl if amd or intel made their own remix that’d be huge, like beyond huge

Ik wishful thinking but ya

[wispy crest]

AMD is always playing catch up

[subtle bison]

i dont think its gonna be as good as remix

also i think they're probably gonna make a closed source fork of it anyway

[winter radish]

The hopes that I stop bothering them

[compact blaze]

Even if it won’t be good as some aspects, I hope it’d focus on other stuff that does way better job compared to rtx remix

Maybe in terms of optimization or even broader game support

[subtle bison]

i personally think we're at a hard limit of what shader-based games remix can inject to without manual intervention

this even goes beyond dx9

remix is a vulkan-based path tracer anyway, there's no stopping anyone from porting it to a dx11 game per say

[earnest yew]

dat shi never comin

Boi

🫲

[winter radish]

[compact blaze]

I love 2018

[subtle bison]

took me straight back to 2017 👴

[earnest yew]

BOI

🍆

👌

[wispy crest]

man 2017

feels like yesterday

[compact blaze]

You forgot the deep fried glowing red eyes seagull

[compact blaze]

Ik we’re all goin crazy cause “oh 2017 was 8 years ago” but wait till it hits 2077, shits gonna be wild when you still feel like 2017 was yesterday

[wispy crest]

that would be insane

cus I'd be 78

[wispy crest]

what does this mean

[subtle bison]

finally, i am also getting the model hook crashes

i can actually debug both of these now

[compact blaze]

Pleeeease debug em quick

[subtle bison]

no guarantee i can fix both issues

[earnest yew]

cause you suck

#roasted

[subtle bison]

ok, i am going to stop working on this due to your helpful constructive criticism and make you the new maintainer of gmod rtx, welcome aboard

[earnest yew]

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet

its the same type of shit im running into with my api lights

yipee

[keen rivet]

might just need another safety check

Like

Idk Ask chatgpt lmao

[subtle bison]

🙂

ye its trying to push corrupted data

its exactly like my api light issue what the fuck

i wonder what causes both of our hooks to do this (slightly rhetorical question)

ok well that was easy

just a few more validation checks for when trying to reach an invalid vtable

it seems to work perfectly fine now?

🔥

model hooks are fuckin back lfg

[earnest yew]

Fix The Viewmodel

[subtle bison]

uhh

hwskinning is a different beast, i believe xenthio made a lot of progress but i forgor where he left off on that

[compact blaze]

Moment gpu skinning becomes possible it’s gonna be a madness

An absolute riot

[compact blaze]

@keen rivet tell us :3

[earnest yew]

https://tenor.com/view/glitch-craving-for-a-jull-pod-gif-16664018

[distant crystal]

I believe he asked King David in https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1098843924602306601 I can't tell if any of the code is related but seems like it

[keen rivet]

i forgot where i was up to

i think i couldn't get bones working

and then i forgot about it

i need to finish it

[compact blaze]

So when u get bones working that means full weapon and character replacements will be possible?

[keen rivet]

yes

[brittle token]

tonemapping, global or local?

[subtle bison]

local

[brittle token]

sometimes local looks better, other times global does

local:

global

[brittle token]

im gonna stick to local for now then

[subtle bison]

you need to crank up the skybox brightness

i can tell because the water is brighter

[brittle token]

this?

[subtle bison]

ye

[brittle token]

strange things

[subtle bison]

why/how the fuck is net_graph above your weapon

[brittle token]

magic (i have no fucking idea)

[brittle token]

i think it might be this thingy

probably thought it'd be cooler if it was a bit higher. old me was right

[subtle bison]

oh

i didnt know it could be moved

[brittle token]

does my crowbar looks a bit.. greassed?

[lapis delta]

@subtle bison is this how it should be?

[modern quest]

global tonemapping isn't ideal for a lot of reasons btw. it looks good in some scenarios but it's problematic in darker areas (at least based on my testing, i'm far from an expert on tonemapping lol)

[subtle bison]

is that top button broken

[lapis delta]

yea, i think

[subtle bison]

agony

[brittle token]

to me it looks right in most scenarios, but it fails a bit on darker skyboxes, it makes them way too bright, altering the vibe the map is supposed to give, idk

and it can change the color of the sun sometimes

[modern quest]

you just need to adjust the actual tonemapper settings while it's set to local

[brittle token]

spooky red reflectionn

[subtle bison]

@earnest yewthe hi-poly tree was with us all along

the hl2rtx demo has a replacement 😊

[earnest yew]

mfw when leaves

[subtle bison]

nah doesnt look like it

that sucks

[keen rivet]

Damn

When do we bring back the hash rainbow table

[subtle bison]

yea why not lmao

or find some way to integrate remix's hash system directly in engine so we can match stuff up automagically

could auto-tag decals and stuff

[brittle token]

does it happen to anyone else that searching rtx remix on google returns basically nothing of relevance? there aren't any tutorials, barely some discussions, and it happens on youtube as well

these mini-tutorials haunt my searches

[brittle token]

also, cant get the model to import right

[subtle bison]

its probably there, but unfortunately the location of the model is probably where it was in worldspace

so tl;dr you gotta go find the actual mesh

[brittle token]

oh shit

[subtle bison]

its really annoying lol, i would ask for advice in the general chat or asset design

its a universal remix thing

[brittle token]

straight up doesn't seem to be there, edit mode not available, imma just use textures instead

[winter radish]

@subtle bison taking a look at XeSS 2 documentation, seems much easier to integrate than FSR

[brittle token]

gun

oh shit i forgot to disable the displacement texture

[willow fog]

Nuh uh. Select the model from the outliner and press "." On your numpad. The camera will fly to your object regardless of where it is.

[lapis delta]

nrc/restir

[runic gale]

is this werid bug or what?

[compact blaze]

That fsr 3 ghosting 💔

[subtle bison]

its TAAU

[compact blaze]

Oh that’s fair

Why no fsr?

[subtle bison]

cuz my game wont launch with optiscaler when my nvidia gpu is plugged in

it tries to use cuda when optiscaler fakes a gpu

[compact blaze]

Ahhhh ok

So ur not using amd in that clip?

[subtle bison]

the ghosting is hardly noticable when its running @ 1080p on a 4k monitor

[subtle bison]

i am

just no optiscaler

[compact blaze]

Ah ok do u have to disable the connection to the nvidia gpu when using optiscaler

Got it

[subtle bison]

yea

[compact blaze]

I wonder if it’s possible to have an rtx gpu solely doing the dlss processing then another gpu does everything else

Like with lossless scaling’s duel gpu mode

[subtle bison]

yea that would be cool

[viscid ocean]

glass is all weird when broken

[meager oar]

probably not replaced by a mod

[meager oar]

try this i guess, not great but i tried to make the shards transparent and cracked just using paint3d

[viscid ocean]

wgewre do i put this

[meager oar]

its the CSS glass i think

[meager oar]

in your gmod directory open rtx-remix folder and then u should see another folder named mods

put the folder in that rar over there

and then in remix menu go to enhancements and enable it

i dnt like the crack texture though 😅 looks weird but idk

[viscid ocean]

thasnks

ok now the glass doesnt exist

[viscid ocean]

i installed hl2pbrppack

it doesnt work

someone help pls

[weak ermine]

guys what a more

idk

stable rtx tweaks

[willow fog]

Eh?

[subtle bison]

please uninstall rtx fixes

its not used anymore since it's integrated into the compat mod

[viscid ocean]

ok

[viscid ocean]

but can you help

pls

[subtle bison]

where is the mod from

[subtle bison]

does the map use lods?

[subtle bison]

ty blender god

[willow fog]

No

Problem

moddb

https://www.moddb.com/mods/half-life-2-rtx-pbr-assets-not-official-rtx-mod/downloads/half-life-2-rtx-pbr-assets-not-the-official-hl2-rtx-mod

[subtle bison]

ill try to mess with it in a bit

[weak ermine]

maybe bcz hashes

idk

[winter radish]

Something similar happens with the HL2 RTX assets

So maybe it’s those assets in general

[subtle bison]

since everything is gray, it means the replacement assets are missing

so its not hashes since remix is replacing everything

for skurtyys mod, it could just be a corrupted download

idk yet cuz i cant get to my pc atm

[quiet scroll]

Yeee I’d have to check, did you unzip the mod? I’d have to check, I haven’t loaded it up in a year

[runic gale]

No Lods

[wispy crest]

inject pbr into my veins

[willow fog]

That would be highly uncomfortable and potentially lethal

[wispy crest]

no

i need it

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison if someone ever made a deferred rendering version of remix would u try port ur gmod mod to that as well?

[subtle bison]

wdym

deferred as in a PBR rasterized version of remix?

[compact blaze]

Ya ya

Kinda like how Minecraft bedrock now has deferred rendering with the same pbr capabilities of rtx

[subtle bison]

i mean sure i guess?

it would probably have the same issues we do with PT

[winter radish]

If anyone does attempt to make a deferred version of Remix, I’d imagine they’re gonna face hell doing it

[compact blaze]

Legally or emotionally

[winter radish]

Emotionally

[compact blaze]

I wonder tho, do you think it’s viable for remix to add a deferred rendering mode, since a lot of the wow factor isn’t just path tracing, but the ability to replace assets on the fly with pbr support

[winter radish]

I don’t think it’s worth the trouble especially since unlike other Pathtracers, there’s not a bit of raster in Remix meaning you’d have to implement raster from scratch

[subtle bison]

yea this mod is working fine for me

make sure you extracted it correctly or that its not corrupted

[earnest yew]

wtf does this mean

am i stupid

[weak ermine]

nuh

[wispy crest]

ok my anti virus is detecting rtxlauncher as a trojan and is auto deleting it lol

[subtle bison]

for what tho

💀

[wispy crest]

no idea lol

wont even allow me to download from github

and when i try to update an old exe of it, it auto deletes it

which is so odd because i was just playing on it

[distant crystal]

Yeah my AV started detecting the recent builds too, even the .zip from github

[hasty sonnet]

@keen rivet is this your doing?

[distant crystal]

Might be some sort of database update on the AVs end that is detecting new vectors, otherwise everything seems fine

[keen rivet]

Wtf

[distant crystal]

It's being doing it to the runtime recently too

[wispy crest]

stop trying to hack my pc xenthio

[keen rivet]

I swear almost everything is false reported as wacatac

[weak ermine]

guys how can i turn off this dev_monitor water? bcz this scrolling enhanced water texture is so

[keen rivet]

Drat I've been caught

[weak ermine]

idk

shit

[hasty sonnet]

is this your response to me saying not to add bugs?

mf is adding viruses instead

[keen rivet]

[keen rivet]

I'm on my phone can someone drop the program into virus total and send me the results

[hasty sonnet]

eye for an eye @keen rivet

(dw this is target practice)

[wispy crest]

i would love to, but it auto deletes it

i couldnt download it if i wanted to

windows defender is just like "nuh uh"

and poof

[keen rivet]

Allow it in windows defender

[hasty sonnet]

sing https://youtu.be/GF9COdMuJr0?t=35

and it might work

Troll~1

[wispy crest]

i will send you into the sun

[hasty sonnet]

in all seriousness

you can try disabling anti virus

disable real time prot @wispy crest then try downloading

[keen rivet]

You can allow the program individually

[hasty sonnet]

google:

fuck no

[keen rivet]

Don't disable anti virus as a whole that's a bad idea

[wispy crest]

virus total says its fully clean

[keen rivet]

Link?

[wispy crest]

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/a94fd288074cf01f76291f12237b11201d55d63ddcc0d2e1f52b6c9156a197c7/detection

i had to manually allow it to download

even chrome detected it as virus

[keen rivet]

Wtf so Microsoft on virustotal detects as clean yet windows defender doesn't

[wispy crest]

can someone else confirm they are having issues with it?

or is it just a skill issue on my part

[hasty sonnet]

ill check

skill issue on your behalf

[wispy crest]

i did mess around with my ExecutionPolicy in powershell to allow me to do some modding in starfield because gamepass is very stupid and requires a script to allow script extender

but i set it back to the default

[hasty sonnet]

i dont find issues

[wispy crest]

thats so odd

i literally loaded it up

and defender was like, virus

[wispy crest]

and deleted it

when it was working perfectly fine a few hours ago

[hasty sonnet]

knock it off burrito

[hasty sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/ltg-british-food-mods-low-tier-god-gif-9108075214677777615

[wispy crest]

when trying to run the exe i get this https://i.imgur.com/fi9qOge.png

lmao

[hasty sonnet]

more info

[wispy crest]

ive never had this problem

[hasty sonnet]

i say

more info

[hasty sonnet]

run it

[wispy crest]

good info

[hasty sonnet]

its cuz it doesnt know who made it

run it once

and it will never show up again

[wispy crest]

it wasnt an issue before though

[subtle bison]

it's gonna do the exact same thing with any other water texture

[wispy crest]

ok it ran it just fine, as expected

dunno why defender is having a stroke about it

[subtle bison]

the map maker can choose to make a certain world face to scroll, so different textures wont affect it

[keen rivet]

Oh windows just does that for apps that aren't officially signed

[wispy crest]

but why the sudden aggression against it

[hasty sonnet]

just scribble "Xenthio CatRappa Collab" or some shi

[keen rivet]

It's not a virus warning but a "We don't know who the developer of this is"

[subtle bison]

did this start with the .11 ver?

[wispy crest]

yes

[keen rivet]

Even then it still wouldn't be signed

[subtle bison]

i dont see what i added could be considered as a virus

[keen rivet]

What did you add

[wispy crest]

defender still flagged it as a trojan

so idk

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXLauncher/releases/tag/v1.0.11

[keen rivet]

Tab name was long enough as is lmao

[subtle bison]

[hasty sonnet]

"Ik what im doing" my ass

[keen rivet]

Default to sambow23/dxvk-remix-gmod for x32 for Quick Install as it's more up to date

Is it more stable though

[hasty sonnet]

for every bug @keen rivet adds ill spin the ultimate punishment wheel

aight guys

lets spin it 1e+99999999 times

[keen rivet]

I just wanted release builds to be used for quick install for the sake of simplicity and having crap actually likely to work

[subtle bison]

maybe? it's fine for x64. the only observable issues with x32 remix is bridge crashes on 1.0.0

[hasty sonnet]

releases should be split

reccomended and latest

reccomended builds are stable and casual ready

latest are for tech guys who will report or just casuals who want more flavour

[keen rivet]

Yee there's pre release I think in the install tab

[subtle bison]

do we have the ability to install action builds from dxvk-remix's github? i can remove the custom version in favor of that

[hasty sonnet]

also you gotta add a new video saying that the new install is in a github repo made by you 2

just incase

[keen rivet]

Oh ok

[hasty sonnet]

because if i search up gmod rtx

[keen rivet]

No we don't the stuff is all setup for it though

[hasty sonnet]

god forbid an idiot following the one on your channel

[keen rivet]

The problem is

GitHub action artifacts require you to be logged in to download

[subtle bison]

yea that's what i was assuming

[keen rivet]

I have the setup for adding your own api key right now

[hasty sonnet]

i accidently read bowsers fury as bowsers furry wtf

[weak ermine]

bruuuh why pseudoplayermodel dont work in multiplayer

[hasty sonnet]

disabled or so i thought

[weak ermine]

I can't see my own shadow

[subtle bison]

i dont think much testing has been done on the multiplayer side for our addons so i have no idea why its broken lol

[weak ermine]

now its not mega ultra realism rtx gmod

[subtle bison]

you could use gmod legs 3 but it looks like ass lmao

[weak ermine]

it used to work before rtxlauncher

[wispy crest]

im still frustrated that i can't find working pbr textures for construct or something

[weak ermine]

oh wait

[subtle bison]

why would rtxlauncher break this

[weak ermine]

maybe addon cant generate different hash for textures

[subtle bison]

it's all clientside so in theory it should work fine in mp, but like i said I have no idea what's breaking it

[subtle bison]

make your own?

[wispy crest]

i don't even know where to start

[subtle bison]

#remix-beginners-guide message

[wispy crest]

oh, right

[keen rivet]

Did you reload the map

[weak ermine]

yes

in sp its working

mp dont

[subtle bison]

just tested, x32 works perfectly fine with the custom remix build

im actually getting less bridge crashes too?

i did put the newest CI ver of it in the package

[keen rivet]

Is this your own server or somebody else's?

Scripts don't run on other people's servers

[weak ermine]

own

[subtle bison]

i cant look at the source atm, but do we have something to obfuscate the key when we compile it?

I'd prefer if we didn't have a key out in the open

But still like

wtf is going on with the uh

No lighting

[modern quest]

idk

[willow fog]

thx for help

[subtle bison]

make sure particle lights are enabled

[subtle bison]

this is from disabling the disable vertex lighting changes made in the latest release, im reverting it since its causing visual issues with entities

[willow fog]

[hasty sonnet]

can we have hl2rtx flashlight

[subtle bison]

i mean probably but all they did was add 3 lights instead of 1

its not gonna be functionally any different to what we have

[winter radish]

3 lights for a flashlight?

[subtle bison]

to recreate the lens look of the original hl2 one

[winter radish]

I didn’t even noticed, I was playing at a blurry 15fps

[compact blaze]

Stop playing that extremely questionable video you’ll prob get ur lighting back

[willow fog]

Oh no

i was using this to get ingame on tf2rtx in the early days

[compact blaze]

Is this with fsr frame gen on?

nope

fsr fg doesnt work properly anyway

also it wouldnt affect net_graph 1 if i even had it on

you can really see the ai upscale artifacts

[runic gale]

looks fine

[subtle bison]

nah its easily noticable lol

[runic gale]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[subtle bison]

you can see where the upscaling model is interpreting noise and compression as detail, this is only with the luminance enabled and you can see so much grunge lol

i would use a stable diffusion based upscaler like pbrfusion instead for concrete

[runic gale]

This is the texture itself upscalled.

[runic gale]

I would love use PBRFusion but it's just darn limited.

anyway to disable to generate normals/roughness/height (because i want do my own.)

[weak ermine]

danger zone

[runic gale]

it's darn slow

to process. compared to webdemo

[weak ermine]

or shipment from mw2019

i have 3 fps

on this map

on x32 of course

[runic gale]

so

here's with PBRFusion, (Only Upscale, But PBR were done with different software)

[lapis delta]

wait, is that ai pbr?

[runic gale]

Eh Upscale is AI

And PBR were done with Adobe Substance 3D Sampler

[subtle bison]

i think this texture is just cursed for upscaling, its probably worth just remaking from scratch

[subtle bison]

if you can do PBR maps in substance, you can probably remake this albedo

oh sampler

the auto PBR thingy

🥶

[lapis delta]

oh, i would like to ask - does it create a metalness texture?

[runic gale]

only basecolour map.

[lapis delta]

i mean

[runic gale]

1 momment

[lapis delta]

nvm

[wispy crest]

I couldn't figure out the pbr stuff for the life of me

I'm very dumb

[modern quest]

these kinds of textures are just horrible for upscaling

the patterns always cause AI based upscalers to generate artifacts

remake it imo

[runic gale]

@subtle bison this is with PBRFusion Normal/Height/Roughness.

it's trash

[subtle bison]

the albedo still looks about the same as before, like i said, this texture probably needs to be remade from hand

[runic gale]

ugh

[subtle bison]

the only way i've found to work around this is use stable diffusion 1.5 + a controlnet tile model so it can actually reconstruct the texture details

its a lot of manual work but it usually has great results

iirc i did it here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCewEVM_aI4

i made the rest of the PBR maps in substance painter

[brittle token]

mmm. what about gigapixel's redefine?

i sometimes use it on textures that are too plain

[brittle token]

looks damn nice

[steel lark]

they already put him in gmod lol

[keen rivet]

no we don't include our own key

users will need to give their key

or login with their account

thats why the feature doesnt actually exist only the backside of it does

because its dumb and a flawed idea

[subtle bison]

xess 2 is so peak

4k dlss ultra perf never looked so sharp 🤤

[fallow mesa]

can Xess work on RTX card ?

[wispy crest]

yes

xess is Intel I believe

[subtle bison]

yes but DLSS 4 is probably better lol

[fallow mesa]

everything is white on Xess

fsr 3 works fine

[modern quest]

way better lol

xess is really good though

[wispy crest]

DLAA my beloved

[winter radish]

Try switching different XeSS models and see if it changes anything

[winter radish]

Imagine FSR 4

[brittle token]

denoiser so noisy i thought the water was animated

[brittle token]

i wonder if there's any way to make these cully maps more stable

nevermind it's wacked even before rtx

[subtle bison]

i think this is a x32 bug where disabling culling entirely breaks some maps

[subtle bison]

do mat_forcedynamic 1

it should fix it but might also destroy the framerate

[brittle token]

ooh, let's see

[brittle token]

thanks, that fixed it :D
it only slowed down like 10 fps, 30 fps might not be gold standard, but it shall work for some remixing

might as well say, does it happen to anyone else that when you open the steam overlay it becomes un-interactable and stuck?

[subtle bison]

x64 doesn't have this issue, but idk if this map uses regular map faces or displacements. the latter are still in-progress for culling fixes

[subtle bison]

idk i usually have it disabled

[brittle token]

cant say i know either, just found the map. gm_medievalsiege btw

you could almost say that i found... solid ground

[subtle bison]

weird i cant hear the laugh track

looks like the building uses faces

so it renders ok on x64 so far

[brittle token]

mm. x32 is still the recomended version right?

[subtle bison]

ye for now

i've been working on a lot of improvements for x64 for the next release, but i would only recommend it only for SP even then

[pulsar flicker]

is there a way to fix the mwb sights

[subtle bison]

if they use render targets, no

[pulsar flicker]

ah

reddots?

[subtle bison]

oh those should work fine

[pulsar flicker]

ye but the reddot is visible outside the sight

[subtle bison]

wdym

[subtle bison]

oh ye i also have that

i thought it was normal lol

idk what mwb uses to hide it from normal view so idk why its broken

[pulsar flicker]

lol

[brittle token]

scouting for stable hashes would send an epileptic person to the hospital lol

[subtle bison]

mini skybox 👻

kinda reminds me of ultrakill

[brittle token]

truman-ass skybox

[brittle token]

yeah actually

[subtle bison]

scale is fixed but i wonder why the seams show 😦

i was intending to fully replace world rendering with custom code so i wouldnt have to render stuff twice

[hasty sonnet]

in 2026 volumetric clouds

prob

idk

[lapis delta]

LIMBO

[weak ermine]

guys someone try to create clouds with volumetrics?

is it possible

[willow fog]

Maybe

Possibly

Not sure

[lapis delta]

how?

[willow fog]

Lemme do some tests

[willow fog]

Nah I actually wanna test it out

[lapis delta]

i would like to know how to improve the quality of nrc, so that it looks the same as restir

like this #general-remix message

uhh i like nrc, but this pisses me off

[runic gale]

ugh

oops

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3453386337

[willow fog]

Prolly won't worjk

[willow fog]

So you can kinda make clouds with the atmosphere and heterogenous options but the issue is that it only goes from bottom to top

[lapis delta]

oh, that's really cool

[willow fog]

If the bottom can be moved up, you can probably make clouds

SO instead of slicing the volumetrics' top, you also slice the bottom to make a thin-ish layer where the clouds exist

[lapis delta]

damn, better clouds in gmod

but what about nrc?

[willow fog]

idk about nrc yet

compat mod is pretty broken rn

[hasty sonnet]

nrc can suck dick

ReStir better

[lapis delta]

me when screen space

and noisy reflections even when "russian roulette" is disabled

[lapis delta]

i think you should check out customnetworkconfig, you can change the quality of reflections and other things with it

[willow fog]

Idk how to use it

[lapis delta]

there

https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1351247433081815191

there is an example config with which you can already change something

drop it where the exe file of the game itself is located

[subtle bison]

for x32 it aint

[willow fog]

x32 can sugma

[subtle bison]

hopefully i can port this to gmod

we might not actually need this, im just trying to find a way to hide engine level geometry while keeping the skybox

i just found this 💀

NO MORE REMIX CAPTURE MODE WOOOOOOOO

[lament quartz]

That's cool, send 13 nuclear bombs gm_conatruc5

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet if we could get them working bones for hwskinning, the trifecta would be complete /s

the benefit of the worldmaterialoverride approach is that decals still work

peak

gonna work on fixing up the displacement renderer, and after that, world rendering will be perfecto on x64

[quiet scroll]

NO WAYYYYYY

[compact blaze]

I wanna ask with the geometry being stable now, does that mean you can replace that old geometry with newer models?

[willow fog]

Holy freaking shit

[subtle bison]

ye

anything with stable hashes can be replaced

or append models to

[thorny crag]

no way

[compact blaze]

I wonder why I haven’t seen much remix games try replace extremely low quality geometry with higher quality models if that’s possible

[subtle bison]

it is

i've been thinking about doing that as well

[compact blaze]

Oh really, can u show examples?

[subtle bison]

i dont have any atm, but i would basically put a higher quality model in the same place as the original geometry and just make it slightly bigger so the old geometry is invisible

idk if its possible to hide geometry based on mesh hash

i only know you can do that with textures

these hl2 apartment buildings are most straightforward to replace since they're literally a model and not world geometry

[willow fog]

I don't think the hl2 devs have stable brush hashes

So we're already a step ahead

[subtle bison]

thank rubat or whoever added all of the cam3d stuff to luajit in gmod

this would not be possible without it

literally using source as a basic 3d renderer lol

[compact blaze]

What’s cam3d and what’s luajit

💔

[crystal storm]

casually mogging orbifold studios in our free time lol

[subtle bison]

the only issue with x64 is that static props are not hash compatible with hl2rtx

because they're rendered in a fundamentally different way

physics props however work fine

[compact blaze]

I’m guessing someone out there will manually replace each model

[subtle bison]

yea you could make a x64 specific version of it

some kind of rainbow table like xenthio mentioned

also all of this custom rendering stuff will probably work perfectly fine on x32

but the issue is that x32 has culling patches and adding these on top would just kill perf

so i guess we can have a version of x32 without culling patches?

idfk

[compact blaze]

Also what did u find relating to those weird crashes

Y’know the one I dmed u about before

[subtle bison]

the model hooks are fixed

which was causing issues for everyone

just had to add some extra safety checks and i havent crashed since

the api lights still broken unfortunately

but i can include those at some later point

[compact blaze]

When was the last official gmod rtx update

[subtle bison]

0.6.7 like 3 weeks ago

0.7.0 is next

but i dont have a release date

[compact blaze]

What do u plan for 0.7.0 other than the crash fixes

[subtle bison]

all of the x64 stuff i've showed off so far

FVF is dead and static prop renderer replaced it

more performant and has 0 culling 😎

then there is the world render stuff i showed off this morning

with displacement stuff being fixed atm, once those are done, i can probably push the release

also @compact blaze
#general-remix message

🙂

[subtle bison]

in-engine fps on smaller maps with all custom rendering code

no engine rendering is happening other than decals and the skybox

entities and props can drastically lower this so keep that in mind

305fps with remix lul

[winter radish]

Imagine with multi fg

Probably get close to 1000

[subtle bison]

gmod x64 is now the most optimized remix game 🤓 /s

i say that sarcastically but we have almost no culling and over 1K fps in the engine

big win

[winter radish]

Now try the 1:1 multiverse map

[subtle bison]

bet

[winter radish]

Pathtracing the multiverse

[weak ermine]

dead

what about full gta 5 map

[subtle bison]

its been tried before, it works but it takes forever to load just like normal gmod

you also need lots of vram

[winter radish]

Now you have that VRAM, try again

[subtle bison]

its gonna take me like 12 mins to load the multiverse

[winter radish]

Out of context, that’s a wild statement

[subtle bison]

vram is holding on

[winter radish]

16fps for a pathtraced multiverse, not bad

[compact blaze]

What fsr mode did u use?

[subtle bison]

i cant even see because of how many fucking planets there are

[subtle bison]

dlss ultra perf @ 1080p with xess 2

help

city of glass from mirrors edge catalyst

1000fps without RT lul, i forget how well infmap runs
source is really efficient with 3D model rendering when you arent using engine functions other than what lua provides

[winter radish]

The truth is revealed, the multiverse is a fucking box

[subtle bison]

real

re-implemented the displacement renderer, fixed all of the seam issues i had for a while. but uhh textures look a bit goofy lol

[willow fog]

You forget about the remix sample project with the floating remix logo

[weak ermine]

its over

[lapis delta]

wait what the fuck?

[earnest yew]

small world

[keen rivet]

Hopefully

[brittle token]

is there any way for the gmod displacement amounts to be shown on the toolkit? it's a pain in the ass to go in-game a see it not being the same as in the toolkit

[hasty sonnet]

then edit the entire engine

duh

bullshit problems require even more harder and bullshit solutions

[turbid barn]

that's not ok

both restir/nrc
only with CNN/TF RR enabled

[brittle token]

for some reason that room is noisy as hell

[lapis delta]

these lamps seem to work, but their intensity is extremely low

[subtle bison]

try ignoring the light fixture texture, i think the light is stuck in the model

cs_office has this issue

[lapis delta]

so it's not because of nrc or restir

it's because of rtxdi

[weak ermine]

lol why all guns from mw base just black

[willow fog]

Ss?

norma

it's supposed to be like that

oh okay

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison quick question about rtx remix

do i have to invert the blue normal maps then import it

or does it become orange like the normals in the asset replacements

[subtle bison]

idk, depends if its a dx or gl normal

you can do either

lambda players certified remix compatible

(my game is dying)

¯_(ツ)_/¯

not even gpu bottlenecked lol

look at the end of the vid

same fps with RT off

[compact blaze]

Why does no one cast any shadows?

[subtle bison]

no RR

so much shit going on that remix cant keep up

you can see shadows for players standing still

[subtle bison]

yea mwbase is peak

guh

[weak ermine]

with arc9 i get 20 fcking fps

this is dogshit

[turbid barn]

просто перенеси из файлов колды, лол

[subtle bison]

arc9 shouldnt lower fps lol

the only thing that arc9 does that i dont like is precache the living shit out of every weapon texture

[weak ermine]

качать 100 гигов ради текстурок? нет спасибо

guys keep it english 💀

[turbid barn]

IW8 & IW9 normals, albedo & roughness textures zaebis' works on remix

[subtle bison]

i like mwbase uses a unique textue for flashlight particles, i can spawn a effect light on it

so mw base has working flashlights for some guns 👅

[turbid barn]

after porting them to remix they will be like ~6 gb for each weapon

anyway

[weak ermine]

but i still need to download ~100gb

how your PC feels at that moment:

[weak ermine]

goofy flashlight

more like pointlight

[subtle bison]

im thinking about re-doing the flashlight system anyway, so it can work universally

[turbid barn]

to keep the same amount of gb on your drive for ~15 weapons

[subtle bison]

the current one is brokey

[turbid barn]

that won't stop me

[weak ermine]

skill issue

[turbid barn]

more your's if you can't handle 100gb for textures

or you can buy Retail MW2019 (i have it, but im too lazy to download it) (120GB) and get also BO:CW and Vanguard textures from here

[hasty sonnet]

this shit looks so ugly

we gotta hit it with the 3 spot lights

[turbid barn]

So, Free Warzone & Retail MW2019 allows you to get ALL albedo, normals from all cods starting from 2019 for 200GB of your storage

[hasty sonnet]

recode that shit ong

[turbid barn]

oh, excl. BO6

[weak ermine]

holy fuck

200 gb for png

my ssd gonna kill me

or kill himself

idk

[turbid barn]

i cannot wait for the day we get a full mw 2019 pbr pack for gmod 🤑

It gives me the feeling I get on the first day of deer season, no exaggeration

[subtle bison]

finally found another crash bug caused by remix 😊

if you have too many textures loaded and try to open the remix ui, it instacrashes the game

idk if this was intended by nvidia but there is an assert that tells remix to exit when that happens

looks like its an imgui bug itself

fun

only gmod causes it ofc

ok commenting out the assert just makes it eventually crash in imgui anyway

[subtle bison]

im just gonna hardcode a fallback width when remix fails to send its value

no idea why its happening but i really dont care

this is probably what's causing runtime crashes on x32 lol

YAYY THAT FIXED IT

i think i need to report this on the github

[subtle bison]

benefit of this is that you can now have like 500 addons and remix wont self-implode when you try to open the menu

i have 457 and the game is now rock solid after adding that fallback

[subtle bison]

ok nvm this is a much larger issue, i can add fallbacks for these all day, but you always end up crashing somewhere in imgui

so something about remix completely breaks it when exceeding a certain amount of textures

ugh

[compact blaze]

Why does the remix menu open/close effect sound like a beat from a sigma track

[subtle bison]

its some random addon i installed lmfao

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison when will HDRI be fixed

[subtle bison]

there aint nothing to be fixed lol

[hasty sonnet]

i still cant use it

[subtle bison]

did you use the latest version with the AIO archive?

[hasty sonnet]

yes

at this point

hand your rtx config over

[subtle bison]

that wouldnt change anything

ik it works with the rtx.conf that is shipped with the compat mod

[hasty sonnet]

what binary patch do i use

[subtle bison]

i wouldnt use the advanced install tab, if you're doing a clean game install. remove everything except the launcher, open the launcher and click quick install

also make sure you're using the newest launcher

[hasty sonnet]

bruh

[subtle bison]

means symlinks failed or something didnt copy
did you run the installer as admin when you ran quick install?

[hasty sonnet]

no

[subtle bison]

🙂

just delete everything but the launcher and do it again

[hasty sonnet]

it works

[subtle bison]

how about hdri

[hasty sonnet]

havent checked

@subtle bison nope

still nope

[subtle bison]

you disabled all addons except niknaks right?

i tried it on a clean install and it still works for me

[winter radish]

I have no idea how to use HDRI

[wispy crest]

you click on the thing

and change skybox

[subtle bison]

hold C and press the HDRI editor icon

select any of the presets

@winter radish for AMD, you need to disable this on restir gi for it to render correctly

guys i woke up in gm_construct help
(its real life)

[wispy crest]

which view model is that

[subtle bison]

juinez mmod

i made a PBR version of all of the weapons like 7 months ago, since we're on old hashes, they work again

[subtle bison]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2035609495&searchtext=mmod

[wispy crest]

I can't get any pbr shit to work

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison still nope

[subtle bison]

do this

do u see the sphere in the debug view

[hasty sonnet]

nope

[subtle bison]

turn off enhancements and fly up somewhere in the map, do u see this cube below you

[near tartan]

Holy shit dude, that gun from your pbr weapon pack, you really out done yourself, it’s gorgeous

[subtle bison]

its the old version too, i made a v2 but i havent finished doing all of the weapons

with higher res maps and better materials

[near tartan]

Where can I install it

[hasty sonnet]

ye

[subtle bison]

its not out yet unfortunately

[hasty sonnet]

i see it

[near tartan]

V1 I mean

[subtle bison]

v1 as well

it was put on the backburner when i started working on x64

[near tartan]

How are you working on a v2 without a v1

[near tartan]

Oh

[subtle bison]

i really dont wanna push v1 as some of the maps look like ass

[near tartan]

Maps?

Oh you mean texture maps

Well

If any of them are half as good as that one it’s going to be legendary

[subtle bison]

turn on enhancements, does it dissapear when you select a preset?

vibe

[near tartan]

Woah

And you made the hdri dome too right?

[subtle bison]

ye, stupidly high poly sphere

[near tartan]

We gonna start having remix goat debates soon with all these common CR W’s

[subtle bison]

i think if i did a dome, you would see the cutoff on some maps with a lot of verticality

[near tartan]

Mhm

So is it like a remix mod, or a source mod?

[subtle bison]

all remix, the cube you see in the screenshots is the anchor

each preset has its own mesh hash so i can do multiple

so its a lot of engine/lua fuckery to make it play nice

[near tartan]

Amazing, so would it be possible to port this into other games?

[subtle bison]

possibly, but in order to do multiple, you'd need to replicate what i did in the game

if you wanna do one, just import the sphere to something and apply a hdri as an emissive

[near tartan]

Alr

Just looking to understand how it works

I’m busy running in circles with Kane and Lynch and working on my art for p2

It’ll all come together, some day

I am not smart enough for re and too stubborn to stop

[compact blaze]

sheeeeeeeeesh that glow

[subtle bison]

i also like that i can actually see detail in the PBR maps now that i dont have RR being an amd user 🤓

there is a lot of specular aliasing even at full res 1440p

idk what that is about

[compact blaze]

i was gonna say smth about amd and nvidia users being together but i'd be banned
