[keen rivet]

Try it

I tried to use +map for testing but it couldn't because it wouldn't load niknaks

[runic gale]

doing this

map is in local addon folder

[keen rivet]

Do any other addons work

[runic gale]

let's see

[keen rivet]

Hmm that's strange maybe I have more subscriptions than you

So it takes longer to load and that makes it not load in time

[runic gale]

no workshop enabled

[keen rivet]

Or probably slower internet

Wait so are all your addons local

[runic gale]

yea

[keen rivet]

ok yeah then it won't happen

[runic gale]

but it's not running right

[keen rivet]

Okay yeah so anyone doing it the normal way would have addons broken by doing that

[runic gale]

prob

yea

i'll just use gmpublisher to get workshop addon to local addon

so yea

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison mind helping me to try to get the hdris working?

[subtle bison]

2 things:

1. reinstall windows or make a clean install on another drive
2. Disable any overlay software like Medal or anything that would iniect into the game

cuz we have already tried a fuck ton of stuff and im out of ideas

[hasty sonnet]

overlays?

@subtle bison

[runic gale]

@subtle bison ^ Oh yeah this 2D flat texture cloud would have Shadows casting under even it's set as Particles.

[hasty sonnet]

shall i introduce you to a AGM-114L hellfire radar guided air to ground missile?

[weak ermine]

touch some grass

[hasty sonnet]

i touched dirt when i was throwing dirt on my great grandfathers coffin during the burial process.

yesterday

many people were lined up for this

[weak ermine]

ok

[subtle bison]

overwolf, the razer software, whatever the top middle one is with the camera icon, etc

[subtle bison]

🤷‍♂️
not much that can be done other than setting the texture as particle

no?

[hasty sonnet]

Armory crate

[hasty sonnet]

ill close em ig

[subtle bison]

idk if that will be enough, depends on how they work

[hasty sonnet]

if it doesnt work i wont be suprised

armory crate is responsible for my mouses macros and lighting

yk razer

[subtle bison]

best thing to try is a clean windows install on a second drive without any software other than steam and gmod

[hasty sonnet]

its for the keyboard and mousepad

im getting a clean install ts pmo

[subtle bison]

you need to run the launcher as admin when doing quick install

i need to add an admin warning fr

[hasty sonnet]

why not add a script that makes it run as admin from the start?

[subtle bison]

could ig

[hasty sonnet]

i reccomend it

since most of the functions are behind the fact the thing sucks without admin privs

@subtle bison

textures dont change either

[subtle bison]

is this on a clean windows install or your existing one

[hasty sonnet]

existing

(i dont have the ability to get a clean install)

[subtle bison]

wdym you dont

[near tartan]

There’s a option to reset your drive

And windows on it

[brittle token]

screw it. half life 3

a bit of upscaling on the rock textures and maybe, but im honestly scared of trying this map on remix lol

[wispy crest]

I thought this was remix

cus I tried it on remix and it insta crashed

[subtle bison]

is there a way to make this texture fully dark?

[subtle bison]

CR: Makes a AMD compatible better toolkit out of spite because the nvidia one sucks*

[steel lark]

i know but can i make it like fully black somehow?

i thought i could make it world ui texture but that doesn't affect it

[subtle bison]

gmod 3

no rdna4 gpu support for cycles 😭

[half viper]

in what way can this be used?

[subtle bison]

to replace the nvidia toolkit

or rather another way to make remix mods

[winter radish]

That’s weird, my RX 7600 supported cycles, maybe a work in progress?

[half viper]

huh

i see

[subtle bison]

i think i have mostly everything importing correctly now? just need to implement usd stage editing and exporting

[wispy crest]

cr why don't you just go work for nvidia lul

[brittle token]

like, the toolkit, to enhance the textures

[brittle token]

on one hand, that's fire 🔥 i hate how clunky moving assets is in the toolkit. + hopefully the textures can be edited in real time using nodes and later rendered for remix

though i def not looking forward to dealing with UV maps. i have a skill issue with those

[winter radish]

NV_CR would be fire

[willow fog]

Don't tell him that. I've seen what happens to mfs who go work for Nvidia

[subtle bison]

i have no intentions to work for nv ☺️ 😊

[wispy crest]

cr hates nvidia

i dont want to thats whaty

@subtle bison how to fix HDRI's (without fucking with my windows install)

how do i find apps that inject bs

[subtle bison]

i already told u the ones

[hasty sonnet]

razer?

armory crate only checks the names of apps

[subtle bison]

^

[hasty sonnet]

that isnt a camera icon btw

thats a battery

[steel lark]

doesn't seem to work

also is it possible to enable frame generation on a rtx 3060 12gb?

[hasty sonnet]

no

[earnest yew]

no

[hasty sonnet]

only on 40 series

[subtle bison]

what are you trying to do

there is no point trying to change that texture from the game anyway

[steel lark]

i'm trying to make the gmod logo prop water

with the submaterial tool

[subtle bison]

submaterial should work, i've done that before

hmm

[steel lark]

i'll try again in a another map

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison wheres the rtx fixes

[subtle bison]

wha

[hasty sonnet]

it aint workin

[winter radish]

And multi frame generation on 50 series

[subtle bison]

ye it seems to be bugged for that tool

[hasty sonnet]

im planning to get a 5090Ti

[subtle bison]

not sure whats going on with that

maybe try to find a different material tool

ok this tool works

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3118788923&searchtext=material

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison

does logitech GHUB cause issues?

[subtle bison]

idfk

[hasty sonnet]

i mean

[subtle bison]

i dont have any vendor software like that for me to know

[hasty sonnet]

GHUB does take screening to sync the speaker lights to the screen

[subtle bison]

we need caustics bad 🤤

[hasty sonnet]

black magic

(im saying black magic because caustics take hella long to render in blender)

[subtle bison]

one day we will have realtime caustics 🤤

[hasty sonnet]

by the time the 70 series releases

@subtle bison can we try this method?

[willow fog]

No

[hasty sonnet]

we just shoot the light that remix thinks should go through

random colored direct light with shadow bias set all the way up so its soft

(the light color should be picked from the material)

fake caustics

[steel lark]

it works! thx

[winter radish]

What’s this then?

[subtle bison]

approximation

[willow fog]

Is it actually caustics or just ray tinting like what remix does?

[subtle bison]

prob the latter?

[willow fog]

Probably

You know

Everything keeps yapping about caustics

But where tf is rough glass?

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/we-never-learn-nod-agree-gif-25116434

So real

[willow fog]

You literally can't make rough glass.
Pretty sure that comes wayyy before any of that caustics garbage

[subtle bison]

wdym rough glass, cant that be done with IOR and normal maps?

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison

help

[subtle bison]

bro quit @'ing me

[hasty sonnet]

understandable

ill figure this out myself

[subtle bison]

what is the issue this time

[willow fog]

Not really. Do you make a rough non glass surface by using a normal map with microscopic levels of detail?

No

[hasty sonnet]

its not rendering

the draw calls wont go in

its transparent

[subtle bison]

[hasty sonnet]

i had to mark it as decal nvm

im a fucking dumbass

[subtle bison]

i got no idea, if its only happening in the toolkit i definitely have no idea

[subtle bison]

i think i need an example cuz im so confused

also i meant roughness whoops

[willow fog]

No

[hasty sonnet]

its also in gmod

[willow fog]

You can't use a roughness map on glass

That's the point lol

[subtle bison]

yea let's get rough glass then

[willow fog]

Mfs asking about caustics forget that remix doesn't support anything as basic as rough glass

Caustics is a while different beast

[steel lark]

make mirrors reflect direct light 🙏

[hasty sonnet]

IMPOSSIBLE

[steel lark]

[hasty sonnet]

how the fuck do i add hdris

or

skies

custom ones

[steel lark]

does anybody know how to make the volumetric fog not mess with the color of the sky?

[subtle bison]

burrito prob knows

[lament quartz]

Not possible with the presets you'll have to make a custom one

[steel lark]

figured it out

just used the atmosphere option

but only once in a blue moon

[hasty sonnet]

use AIM-9X

or AIM-9M if your poor

[willow fog]

Or use guns

Gun supremacy

Rockets are boring

[hasty sonnet]

Its missiles

rockets are a different story

earth hate me

[subtle bison]

did you update within those 10 minutes?

[weak ermine]

yesterday

april update

[subtle bison]

guh april update?

damn how did i miss that

[weak ermine]

ts just patch bags fixes

"drool emoji"

[subtle bison]

"fixes"
more like rubats plot to kill gmod rtx /s

is this x32 btw

[weak ermine]

maybe after that update comes another what fixes last update

[weak ermine]

yeah

[subtle bison]

try x64, it has the same patches as x32 so you shouldn't have any additional issues

ill look into x32 in the meantime

[weak ermine]

i need just select x64 in betas?

[subtle bison]

ye then make a clean remix install (you can keep your x32 one, just make a new folder for x64)

[weak ermine]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-gif-21922016

[subtle bison]

99% of your stuff is gonna be there, addons shouldn't have to redownload

they're stored in steam and not gmod

[weak ermine]

okay

"drooling emoji"

[subtle bison]

@loud mural uhh???
https://gmod.facepunch.com/news/april-2025-patch

i guess we dont need the HDR patches anymore 💀

[wispy crest]

"small"

[weak ermine]

grass ban added

[loud mural]

Depends on if it still loads LDR on LDR+HDR maps

mfw SDR lighting lol

[subtle bison]

SDR probably takes priority when it's available

i can test it in a bit tho

[loud mural]

Not from my testing with G-String maps with the patch

I'll check again though just in case

[subtle bison]

ah i meant with the new update

[steel lark]

.

oops

[loud mural]

Oh

[subtle bison]

ok we still need the HDR patches

x32 does not load HDR map lighting at all with the new update

[weak ermine]

im just lazy and instead of try to fix problem im going to ignore gm_flatgrass

100% brain used

[subtle bison]

btw flatgrass works fine for me on a fresh x32 install?

[weak ermine]

uhh this fresh smell of gmod reinstallation when one addon fucks all game

[subtle bison]

time to go find what addon causes it

[weak ermine]

but all addons disabled

[subtle bison]

i only have niknaks in that vid

anyway im prob gonna push 0.7.1 today cuz i have not been working on anything new 🤪

[willow fog]

Blender toolkit

[weak ermine]

rtx lights when

[weak ermine]

wait on x64 hdr maps looks normal?

like with lighting

[subtle bison]

ye

HDR map patches from wolfe and null 😊

[subtle bison]

sorry i meant nothing new for gmod

[weak ermine]

time to say goodbye to my x32 gmod

[subtle bison]

maybe one day

[weak ermine]

on x64 better performance?

[subtle bison]

a bit

culling patches still drag perf a lot on some maps

[weak ermine]

+0.5fps?

[subtle bison]

i have no idea, i havent directly compared them

[weak ermine]

sad

i want play on slendytubbies map

but 2 fps

[willow fog]

It's okay. You don't have to be sorry. I was just talking about your projects in general. ❤️

[subtle bison]

i still plan on making a fork with the old custom render addons cuz that would probably make that map playable

but still no ETA

[weak ermine]

imagine fog in rtx remix what literally can fix big maps

[subtle bison]

guh

[weak ermine]

with draw distance literally nothing changes

[willow fog]

Silent hill

[weak ermine]

with 2 fps

[subtle bison]

just like the UE5 game

[weak ermine]

and world what disintegrates in 2 metres from u

[loud mural]

So I just checked on the new update without the HDR patches and it still defaults to LDR on LDR+HDR maps

[subtle bison]

rip

x32 wouldnt even load the HDR data on a HDR-only map for me (this is without the patches too)

so idk if that official fix is x64 only or just broken

[loud mural]

The funny thing is HDR only maps aren't loading any lighting data without the patches in x64 on the new version as well, maybe it's a dx8 feature level thing? idk

[subtle bison]

yea prob

i might try to port the HDR patches over to x32 when i get the time

[loud mural]

Do you know what's up with the curb models?

They seem to disappear until I reenable RT

Seems to be something to do with fade distance because the only ones that stay are the ones I'm near

This is de_bank btw

[subtle bison]

ye i get it too

i think it has to do with prop fade?

i think we should just kill it if we can

[loud mural]

Are there any console commands for that that you know of or is that going to have to be another patch?

[subtle bison]

i couldnt find any commands so far, also i think the map enforces the limit

so prob a patch

[loud mural]

Fun, I'll talk to NULL about it

kind of nvm

prop_disable_distance_fade 1

It's cheat protected but that should be an easier patch

[subtle bison]

sweet

[loud mural]

In singleplayer you can just enable it fine without cheats so you can add that into your Lua addon if you want. FYI it disables itself every map load

[subtle bison]

ye i can tie that into the mat_dynamicfix i have

you can set which map to have the cvar enabled for

[loud mural]

Nice

[subtle bison]

[willow fog]

Gonna use the collection system for layers?

If you do that it's gonna be fucking amazing

[subtle bison]

oh thats a good idea

this is what im doing now lol

[willow fog]

Gotta figure out a way to restrict stuff tho. So that people don't put shit in collections where it doesn't belong.

[subtle bison]

we can just block stuff that isnt appropriate for a USD export

[willow fog]

I can make a rtx shader node group for you for materials

[lament quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/garn47-excited-cursed-car-cat-gif-6492711497694629113

[subtle bison]

i was using bsdf principled lol

i think that still works good enough

[winter radish]

CR needs a ko-fi fr

[lament quartz]

id expect blender shaders not to work? like glass bsdf

[willow fog]

That still works but having a node group will ensure that people don't touch settings which won't have any effect on the actual remix mod. Plus, you'll be able to read which textures are connected to the node group using bpy

[subtle bison]

we're exporting back into what lightspeed/remix uses so no prob not

[willow fog]

No one uses glass bsdf anymore

[willow fog]

Basically it's a node group designed to look like what the remix material is

[subtle bison]

ye

i can prob make that myself

[willow fog]

It'll still be using blender's own shaders inside

[willow fog]

I wanna do it.

Is good practice

[subtle bison]

you can if you want lol

im just trying to get a light to export lmao

it sort of works

[willow fog]

Make sure stuff is saved relative to the origins of what they're attached to

[subtle bison]

ye that's what im trying to do rn

for lights and meshes, i have created a global anchor so its really easy to spawn shit

you just throw shit into the scene and click export

no need to find the anchor yourself for each one

for gmod its a anchor entity

[willow fog]

Right, but like

Other remix games

[subtle bison]

ye that would still work like it does in the toolkit

[lament quartz]

I do

[willow fog]

You're better off using princibled bsdf because glass bsdf renders slower

[lament quartz]

If you use glass bsdf with a volume absorption and a noise shader you get really good waves/watter effect

[subtle bison]

its starting to look promising 👀
(the addon fully made this file)

[willow fog]

I'm so fucking wet rn

I don't wanna open that piece of shit software

[subtle bison]

i cant even open it

i uninstaleld the toolit bcuz im gonna be using blender and need space for game

[willow fog]

Fiiiiiine

I'll do it

[subtle bison]

bro i dont even have working export yet chill 😭

Usually once it gets to FUCKTHISTHINGBETTERWORK you know it's hair tearing out level of difficult

[subtle bison]

yep

[willow fog]

0 fucks given. I'll do anything to help make blender toolkit real

A bunch of the things don't do much because they're remix specific

[subtle bison]

hawt

[willow fog]

Also inwards displacement doesn't do what it's supposed to but that's fine since remix will be using the data differently anyways

That being said

..........

remix renderer for blender when?

[subtle bison]

prob possible but thats definitely not a priority

[willow fog]

Don't actually do that

The point of moving to blender is not having to deal with the remix renderer constantly running

[subtle bison]

also polished UI

[willow fog]

Much more polished than the toolkit

[subtle bison]

i still use the fly mode in blender because fuck using MOUSE 3 to navigate the blender viewport

[willow fog]

I'm not touching this whole section yet because I want to keep my sanity.

Also I have to make a octahedral to tangent normal map converter

Shouldn't be toooooo hard

But it's a lot of maths that I DON'T want to get into just yet

I believed

[winter radish]

Enhanced textures and meshes don't work yet?

[subtle bison]

still dont have all of it fleshed out

i have mesh export set up but i havent tried it yet

ngl even though we can only export lights, the experience of just adding lights in blender is so fucking easy compared to the toolkit holy shit

shaping is all set up too

nice even scene scale doesnt break it

this capture is like from a month ago and everything "just works"

[winter radish]

Don't be shy, activate Cycles

[subtle bison]

time to see if the blender monkey shows up in gmod rtx 🙀

[subtle bison]

ok yea i gotta fix some shit

this is gonna be a bit 😊

we can now convert textures to dds on export 🔥

glad it works 🔥

[subtle bison]

there were many more 's before pain 🙂

truly the ultimate naming scheme

that's how you know the devs are having a good time

yes this video is peak

[brittle token]

hey @subtle bison , if i select a part of a model, and assign it another material, would that then translate correctly over to the toolkit/in-game? or at all?

[lament quartz]

No shot

[willow fog]

Have you tried doing it?

[brittle token]

isn't the blender implementation not out yet?

[willow fog]

Doesn't matter. The game will read the mod file just the same regardless of software

[brittle token]

you mean like, opening the stuff directly from the mod's folder or through SimpleRemix19 addon for blender?

[willow fog]

I mean to say that it doesn't matter if you make your mod via the remix toolkit or the blender toolkit that cr is making. The results should be identical.

[brittle token]

i tried loading the USD into blender, but for some reason the textures just dont convert, all white, purple sky, kinda ignoring the textures folder, anyways. it's a bit late so probably not gonna check further into it myself today

[half viper]

@subtle bison can we get xoxor on gmod for engine tweaks?

[subtle bison]

for what? we already have mostly everything

[willow fog]

Celebrity status

Mostly

It's like uh

Pedro Pascal and Zendaya

Or jack black

[subtle bison]

the only 2 things i can think of that gmod needs is working eye rendering and skinned meshes

[onyx ridge]

skinned meshes please

(mostly because of how many static meshes are apparently unstable because ???)

[subtle bison]

static meshes are stable now

or rather have been for a while since xenthio added the model fixes

[steel lark]

https://tenor.com/view/gleek-gleeky-fact-check-fact-check-fact-checking-gif-2948220834422104904

[steel lark]

the game isn't laggy! i just like setting the game at an cinematic framerate of 24

@subtle bison how do i enable the 3d skybox fixes or was that only for 32bit?

[subtle bison]

there werent any fixes for the 3dsky

[steel lark]

uhm so how do i make the skybox disappear with 3dsky enabled?

[subtle bison]

oh you mean the actual 3d skybox showing in the 2d skybox, even when its off?

[steel lark]

yeah

[subtle bison]

culling patches causes it so there is no fix anymore
when x64 still had custom render addons, i just hid anything outside of the playable area

i cant do that with engine-level rendering

[steel lark]

ahh ok thx

[subtle bison]

me when i spend 8 hours trying to figure out how nvidia's fucking mesh ingester works so i can make fucking remix happy

https://tenor.com/view/rigby-freaky-cat-cat-meme-tongue-out-gif-1492882876567450372

god damn finally mesh exports work

😭

the sublayer stuff is broken so i had to look at it via the toolkit

AHAHAHAHA FUCKING FINALLY

[subtle bison]

sublayer actually works, toolkit just refuses to load anything if its not created by it

texture export works ootb too 🔥

@willow fog

[willow fog]

Figure out what inside the usda makes it "toolkit specific"

Fucking

[subtle bison]

i already got the core stuff figured out that lets dxvk-remix load it

the rest is metadata for the toolkit iirc

where are my shader nodes burrito

[weak ermine]

bro just buy nvide rtx gpu🤓

[subtle bison]

average toolkit defender ^

erm also 🤓

pbr assets import perfectly holy shit

[distant crystal]

I would say show this off to the NV employees but I'd imagine they won't get too excited about it publicly lol

[subtle bison]

yea prob not lol

[willow fog]

I don't think they'd care

It's not like remix is making nv any direct money

[distant crystal]

Yeah but they seem to love their USD ecosystem of tools they've built up, it would be cool to see it in showcase or eventually make its way to the community contributions section

[subtle bison]

ill properly show it off when its public and ready for use

i still got a lot of stuff to cover

[earnest yew]

bro just buy a rtx gpu

https://tenor.com/view/usagi-chiikawa-cry-sad-chikawa-gif-1048776723827761268

[lament quartz]

Catgirls better

[compact blaze]

why not both

[lament quartz]

Self bias

[subtle bison]

[compact blaze]

this is terrible

[subtle bison]

a travesty one could say

[loud mural]

Adjustable culling that isn't Lua based would be really nice for MP, we could also probably get real fixes for particles instead of having to pack modified .pcfs

[subtle bison]

1st one would definitely require xoxor4d

to fix the particle stuff, it would be easier to force FF on dxlevel 95 but once again we'd need xoxor4d for that

[loud mural]

Yeah exactly what I mean

He's also got a bunch of shaders semi working in P2 and since the gmod ones are way simpler and partially open source I'm sure they can be fixed as well

[weak ermine]

[winter radish]

@subtle bison have an issue where the Gmod RTX launcher won't install RTX Remix

[subtle bison]

ok what is the issye

[near tartan]

I'm gonna attempt to install gmod rtx, but before I do I must ask

which pinned link works

cause theres like 3 pinned links

[subtle bison]

the 1st one in big bold letters

[near tartan]

so this one #1116089843479498782 message

thankyou

[winter radish]

It literally doesn’t install the Remix runtime

Clicking the button does nothing

[modern quest]

dxvk-remix and bridge-remix repos were modified, if it's pulling from that that might be why

[subtle bison]

nah the install button is bugged, i still havent fixed it

also we pull from a custom repo we're not affected by those changes

[subtle bison]

easiest way is to either make a clean install (empty folder, launcher only) and click quick install

or just download the runtime manually

[near tartan]

Getting these 2 errors

[subtle bison]

did you run the launcher as admin before doing quick install

[near tartan]

yes

[near tartan]

I installed it 3 times and deleted it, with a fresh exe every time because for whatever reason it wouldn't make a new install after one use

to be 100% sure i ran as adminstator

[subtle bison]

something sounds weird there. is your vanilla gmod install on the C:\ drive

[near tartan]

yes, I only have one drive

[subtle bison]

maybe reinstall your vanilla game first and then a clean rtx install

[near tartan]

okay

[subtle bison]

cuz both of those errors point to filesystem issues

[near tartan]

I haven't ran the RTX exe yet to install, but could naming the folder Gmod RTX some how be causing the error

[subtle bison]

idk

[near tartan]

Still got the errors, but after the errors appear this file is created

[subtle bison]

thats just the config xml, nothing to note in that

does your vanilla game run fine

[near tartan]

yes

[subtle bison]

do you have any external antivirus, something is breaking the symlink

[near tartan]

It only stood out to me because it was created AFTER I click launch game

[near tartan]

Besides Windows shit, no

[subtle bison]

what ver of the game are you running, x64 or x32

[near tartan]

x64

[subtle bison]

try switching branches on steam, it still sounds like in your vanilla game is broken

set the branch to none and then once steam is done redownloading, make a clean rtx install

[near tartan]

yeah I know what you ment

that fixed it

[subtle bison]

ok nvm

x64 is actually broken

yipeee

ty rubat

[near tartan]

fun stuff

[subtle bison]

i guess use x32 for now

until i figure that out

[near tartan]

if you need any asistance lmk (I doubt I'll be able to help so don't do that just tryan be polite)

so

We have developed a new problem

uggghh

it now crashes at launch

it crashed quickly while I was trying to load, now it crashes every launch

nvrm

I was just tryna play it at 4k

it works on 1080p and 1440p completely fine

iirc, that was an issue with gmod in genral so that's on me

[winter radish]

same

[subtle bison]

@winter radish

use x32 for now

[brittle token]

whar

[subtle bison]

i need to update some engine patches, hopefully its not much work

[brittle token]

👍

wish ya luck

[subtle bison]

my tiredass sleeping first 💤

they literally function the same

[winter radish]

LIES

one is better

[near tartan]

Duh, but the glorius Gordon Freeman was intended for x32

[winter radish]

Well maybe Gabe should drop the x64 version already

https://tenor.com/view/gaben-cave-johnson-potato-phone-gabe-newell-gif-27410220

[brittle token]

what if hl2. but 64

|| we need a N64 port of gmod ngl ||

[hasty sonnet]

IMPOSSIBLE

[weak ermine]

and this bro recommend me switch to x64

[near tartan]

Maybe

[subtle bison]

its almost like x64 gets updated every day or something 🤓

🥹

[wispy crest]

no

[lament quartz]

wake up cr the may update released

[subtle bison]

i hope you're joking

[lament quartz]

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/releases/tag/gmrtx_0.7.1
https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXLauncher/releases/tag/v1.0.12

new stuff 🙂

0.7.1 requires a clean install because of some restructuring

and you have to use the new launcher

cuz niknaks is no longer required from the workshop

[winter radish]

Found another bug with my 50 series
1080p looks washed out but 1440p and 4K looks like it should

In all games

So I’m forced to play 1440p minimum

Well wait I think Cyberpunk looked fine, I’ll have to check

[meager oar]

huh how is tat possible damn

[winter radish]

How is anything possible with the 50 series

[meager oar]

true

[meager oar]

have u experienced black screens with it?

[winter radish]

Not yet

[winter radish]

@subtle bison difference between remix runtime vs yours?

[subtle bison]

gmod specific API stuff and input capture fixes for x64

normal runtime should work fine on x32, but not x64

[winter radish]

Cool 👍

once i get it working ill just send a zip with the fixed usda's

i love it when rtxio crashes my gpu driver ☺️

[willow fog]

Don't we all?

[subtle bison]

yipeee

still need to fix models (ones that become invisible), i only did textures

[winter radish]

Making TTT all the better

@subtle bison It works now

[subtle bison]

broken how

[winter radish]

Horrible image garbling even on just x2

[subtle bison]

maybe another 50 series issue? havent heard of anyone mentioning that from a 40 series card

[winter radish]

Haven’t had an issue in Half-Life 2 RTX or Portal 2 with RTX

[meager oar]

5000 series 💀

[subtle bison]

we use a much newer remix version than both of those
try using x32 with the official nvidia 1.0 runtime

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/watame-hololive-tsunomaki-watame-sheep-gun-gif-24529740

Tell me to use x32 one more time

[subtle bison]

i mean there aint any other option rn
@meager oar u have 40 series right? does x64 FG work for you?

[meager oar]

yea FG wrked on x64 when i tried gmod rtx last time a month ago

[subtle bison]

any chance you can check again rq?

[willow fog]

she 3d

[meager oar]

😅 i dnt even hav gmod installed cause i messed every thing up will take a while cause my nets crappy

no joke takes a hour to download 4gb 💀

[willow fog]

10 mbps lol

[subtle bison]

did fg work for you recently on x64

[willow fog]

I have never turned it on

[subtle bison]

damn ok

🫠

[willow fog]

Never with the fake frames

NEVER

[meager oar]

he has a 4090 he dnt need FG

[willow fog]

I'll kms the day I use fg

[subtle bison]

anyone else here with a 40 series to test FG?

[willow fog]

I didn't use it on my previous gpu either

I'd rather play at 30 fps

Say no to fake frames

[winter radish]

12 mbps here

[meager oar]

ill test it later when i get gmod rtx running in bout few hrs

[willow fog]

Megabit?

[winter radish]

Ye

[meager oar]

oh damn gmod is 2gb so only gonna take 30 mins wow 😍

[winter radish]

Wait

No

[winter radish]

112 mbps I’m on
12mbs lol

[willow fog]

I'm on 25 megabit

[winter radish]

Bros budget went into that 4090

[willow fog]

(I got it from work)

I never had money to begin with

[meager oar]

how mch time it takes u to download 100gb boah

[willow fog]

uhhhhhhh

Y’all need a Steam cache server fr

[steel lark]

wait is 32 bit better than 64 bit again??? breuh

[subtle bison]

no they're feature complete with each other (other than x64 remix api stuff)

x64 is overall the better one

no more downloading niknaks from workshop

i pushed a new optiscaler build yesterday but i think i pushed the wrong archive

I'll fix it eventually

[weak ermine]

original normal maps from souce

[keen rivet]

Yay that's exactly how I was going to do it

Just never did

[half viper]

as is with no upscaling?

without

original 512x512

[half viper]

based

just port the entirety of source normal maps

and release it as a pack

[weak ermine]

cool idea but im lazy

i kinda love original 512x512 textures, and hate this goofy ahh ai upscaled shit

i have 25 gb of ai upscaled css shit, and this looks goofy

[hasty sonnet]

bro

my ass dont upscale textures

unless its below 1024x

(its a lie)

[hasty sonnet]

add emissive mask now

[subtle bison]

the vending machine already is

i also didnt author these, its just the hl2rtx assets lol

[weak ermine]

from moddb

i downloaded 25gb of ai upscaled shit

[hasty sonnet]

ik

bt

btw

i know those assets

it used to be on the workshop but got taken down

[subtle bison]

why would they be taken down 💀

[hasty sonnet]

idk

its just

[subtle bison]

these assets are freely usable

[hasty sonnet]

gone

it dissapeared

[weak ermine]

uhh wtf rr does with mirrors

with rr mirrors looks like absolute mess of pixelated shit

[hasty sonnet]

which one CNN or transformer?

[weak ermine]

both

with cnn its absolute ultra bullshit

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-turn-to-dust-finnicklomlgif-gif-6202351048420329284

Fucking 50 series

I swear, this year is gonna be AMD’s year

Also, because of the RTXIO glitch, if I enable it, I can see what assets are actually being replaced by the Half-Life 2 RTX ones which is cool

[weak ermine]

absolute cinema

[wispy crest]

40 series wins again
