bro 🔴

[amber hare]

when rtx fog

[weak ermine]

tomorrow

[subtle bison]

atmospheric fog exists

[amber hare]

when rtx emission?

[subtle bison]

also exists

[weak ermine]

already lol

[amber hare]

no it doesnt

[subtle bison]

you have to author the emissive maps yourself 💀

[amber hare]

the light is on even tho it isnt glowing

this is an rtx remix map

[subtle bison]

its a compatibility mod so we're not touching any assets

[weak ermine]

"no it doesn't"

[amber hare]

atleast not that i saw it

anyways

how do i use any toolkit to make the normal maps work

[subtle bison]

oh boy

uhh

[weak ermine]

nvideo omniverse

[subtle bison]

start here 🙂

#remix-beginners-guide message

the toolkit assumes you already know how to work with game assets

so there is no switch or anything to magically turn them on

you have to get the normal assets themselves and replace/add them back

[weak ermine]

imagine

[amber hare]

nope

[weak ermine]

u can change texture in ur head

[subtle bison]

yea just imagine it

[amber hare]

GET OUT

[subtle bison]

anyway for fog

[weak ermine]

uh yeah

volumetrics

im omning

[subtle bison]

eh same category technically

[weak ermine]

u need to goon mark

volumetrics my beloved

[subtle bison]

🤤

[amber hare]

how?

[weak ermine]

heavy fog

[amber hare]

heavy fog makes everything foggy

[subtle bison]

its almost like it makes the fog heavy 🙀

[weak ermine]

light fog

or imagine volumetrics

[amber hare]

light fog still makes everything foggy

not like its in that picture

[weak ermine]

bro wtf

[subtle bison]

i mean it does

just use default if you want it to be weak

[weak ermine]

so weak

[earnest yew]

america

[weak ermine]

wtf bro literally top 5 unexpected offtopics

[subtle bison]

gmod thread is offtopic #2

[amber hare]

nvm i needed to do the insane mode

[weak ermine]

goontopic

[subtle bison]

stop

[weak ermine]

ok(

go..

[amber hare]

my game crashed 3 times in the last 5 minutes by changing settings 🙏

[subtle bison]

yea the volumetrics settings do that

i think i remember why i dont mess with them lol

[amber hare]

noted

[weak ermine]

lol

my game doesn't crash

[amber hare]

im gonna wait like another year till rtx remix fixes m ore bugs and maybe gets more realistic and also when i get better hardware to run this beauty

[weak ermine]

what bugs

[amber hare]

maybe by then somebody will start making source 2 remix for gmod or smth like that

[amber hare]

i did say like 5 different bugs

[weak ermine]

lol

where's

[amber hare]

._.

[weak ermine]

under water fog not bug

emissions not bug

[amber hare]

emissions is a bug

[weak ermine]

fog not bug

wtf

[subtle bison]

most of these bugs probably wont be fixed? they all require some kind of deepdive without any guaranteed solution

[amber hare]

cuz it should be automatically doing it

[weak ermine]

use ur brain

lol

[subtle bison]

nah remix isnt that magical

[weak ermine]

lazy

[amber hare]

imagine developing

[subtle bison]

trust me gmod rtx used be FAR worse

[amber hare]

i saw that

WAY too many times

[earnest yew]

this is the only place where kim wont go bananas

https://tenor.com/view/eric-andre-dad-your-dads-here-gif-19096487

[weak ermine]

what

[earnest yew]

False...

[weak ermine]

lol

thus goofy arrow

confused my fluffy brain

[amber hare]

why cant i see myself in the mirror

[weak ermine]

enable pseudoplayermodel

[subtle bison]

am i the only person who has invisible mirrors

like the entity isnt even there for me

[amber hare]

where??

[subtle bison]

rtx spawnmenu

in utilities

[earnest yew]

they've never worked for me

for some ungodly reason

[subtle bison]

you also have to reload the map

[weak ermine]

this bro send us a screenshot of his playermodel

and will say this is bug

[subtle bison]

this is what i get lmfao

[weak ermine]

amd moment

[subtle bison]

its not amd lol

[earnest yew]

its like that for me

[subtle bison]

the actual mirror is missing

[weak ermine]

lol

[subtle bison]

oh right, i remove mirror entities because they cause remix bugs

[weak ermine]

mirrors dont love u💔

[subtle bison]

i shold probably get rid of that part of the compat mod

and find some better way to replace them with the mirror material

[weak ermine]

like with water

[subtle bison]

ye pretty much

[amber hare]

i cant find an rtx spawnmenu

[weak ermine]

lol

qmenu

utilities

RTX

[steel lark]

bruh that isn't a spawnmenu the spawnmenu is the whole thing

that's like a category i think

[subtle bison]

then what would it be called

oh

[weak ermine]

🤓

[subtle bison]

idk my brain chooses spawnmenu for whatever reason

[amber hare]

this aint a spawnmenu

[steel lark]

grrr

[weak ermine]

qmenu

[steel lark]

killmenu

[subtle bison]

well now you have a picture 🙂

[amber hare]

@steel lark why did u decide to shart on gelly

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-drama-discorddrama-gif-22395692

[weak ermine]

fart

[steel lark]

what

[amber hare]

u left giwawa

[steel lark]

i left gellay ballay but i didn't aids

[weak ermine]

discord fart

[steel lark]

uhh idk one day my discord was cluttered and i left all servers

but this one and aids

[amber hare]

then why u left the watuh community?

[weak ermine]

looks like gmod repo its a good place to this shit

[amber hare]

now i have myself in front of my camera

[weak ermine]

I KNEW IT

[steel lark]

uhh it's kinda stale ig lol

[amber hare]

can i somehow make it so i cant see the player model in camera?

[subtle bison]

you need to mark your playermodel as a playermodel texture, one sec

[steel lark]

steam wondering why i installed gmod 23 times this year

[amber hare]

got it

thanks

[subtle bison]

@amber hare

[amber hare]

i already got it

[weak ermine]

css hostage my beloved

beta kleiner my beloved*

🤓

oh yeah

pbr m9

[viscid ocean]

someone help

volumetric light is broken

when i move around it doesnt update light

it acts like a paintbrush for light

[subtle bison]

ye that is just a known remix thing

there is some settings that helps but i forgor what it was

might want to ask in general

[viscid ocean]

also

bullet textures

are like

the background for it

is not transparent

[subtle bison]

turn off your flashlight

sometimes that causes alpha to break when its on

[viscid ocean]

flashlight on or off

[subtle bison]

if its still doing that, you need to mark that texture as a decal

if it already is, then its some other remix bug

[viscid ocean]

oh

thanks

it worked

[weak ermine]

lol wtf

genius

well looks like i still need create my own sweps or fucks with already created

bcz dev lazy

[compact blaze]

But like, it does support below dx9 no?

[weak ermine]

its supports

but idk wtf is he saying

such a disappointment

[compact blaze]

Im guessing they assume gmod doesn’t support below dx9

You can show them it does with how gmod remix works

[weak ermine]

its bugs repo section

so

yeah

offtopic

[subtle bison]

they're probably using some shader specific material?

thats the only thing i can think of crashing it

[weak ermine]

well tomorrow i will check this

and delete if find

delete all

all shaders

i will find every shader what crashes my gmod

[amber hare]

@subtle bison isnt there a way to make a preset for the textures?

so u dont have to setup every single glitch

[subtle bison]

wha

[amber hare]

like to set that phys gun light to invisible

or setting playermodel as playermodel

[weak ermine]

scroll down

"Save"

[subtle bison]

no there is no way to automate the remix-side of things

[weak ermine]

button

[amber hare]

but you cant share it

[weak ermine]

what

[amber hare]

or can you

[weak ermine]

what share

[amber hare]

like sharing settings

for rtx remix

[weak ermine]

rtx.conf

🤓

[amber hare]

wait so

rtx config are the settings?

[subtle bison]

for remix

[weak ermine]

yes

[subtle bison]

yes

[amber hare]

that makes so much sense now

[weak ermine]

lol

[amber hare]

one thing

why some configs have those settings and some dont

like any setting

one config can have this setting in it and another dont

and also what are the weird numbers taking 90% of the config

[subtle bison]

because everyone does something different, the compatibility mod ships a rtx.conf with a lot of the right settings to attempt a standard

[subtle bison]

those are texture hashes, its how remix can identify models and textures

as remix doesnt interact with the game engine

[amber hare]

whatever a game engine is

cool

[subtle bison]

source engine

the engine gmod uses 💀

[amber hare]

oh ok

[weak ermine]

sauce engine

[amber hare]

why are shadows in source filmmaker act different than in any source game

i saw an addon that actually adds them but still

why do they use different

[subtle bison]

cascaded shadow maps

[weak ermine]

bro this is rtx remix server

[amber hare]

ok but

im not in any other gmod server active enough to talk about it

or have knowladge

[subtle bison]

the main gmod server?

[amber hare]

im not in it

[subtle bison]

so join it?

its public

[amber hare]

nah

[weak ermine]

buuu

i don't like public

[subtle bison]

@weak ermine 💀

this is from the gmod server lmao

[lament quartz]

Clueless

[onyx ridge]

[wispy crest]

wow a billion messages today

[keen rivet]

added the ability to select gmod install manually

in the launcher

[weak ermine]

brainless fucking shit

discuss behind your back its absolutely fucking disgusting

[compact blaze]

Why are they being a douche 😭

[lament quartz]

Because they have a Napolean complex

[compact blaze]

They wanna conquer the world on France’s behalf while being very short?

[lament quartz]

They want to conquer the internet while being short elsewhere

[compact blaze]

Ah

[weak ermine]

when jbmod rtx

[wispy crest]

I'm not sure I understand this image

are they saying that gmod rtx isn't real?

or not worth it?

[weak ermine]

they are just stupid fucking idiots

[hasty sonnet]

i made a update to the blood one since it was made wrong without normals and stuff

again

at 5PM

UTC 9+

new rtx conf reuploaded cuz i uploaded wrong one

@subtle bison

tf is going on here

nvm it stopp;ed

[hasty sonnet]

im going insane

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison check this for me https://gamebanana.com/mods/467284

the images

hmmm

alr afk now

[weak ermine]

i give up

only way its create own sweps

without this all bullshit autoreplacers

and other shit

[amber hare]

how do i get those glowing eyes and those weapons remastered

[lament quartz]

me when i make a pbr pack

[amber hare]

what

[lament quartz]

thats a pbr mod

[amber hare]

how do i get it

[lament quartz]

you make the mod and it does that

[lament quartz]

i dont know if that one is public

[amber hare]

well how to get any other realistic "pbr"

[lament quartz]

[amber hare]

can u send or smth

[lament quartz]

oh your new i see sorry

one second

[amber hare]

i know a pbr is the realistic texures

or physically based something

[lament quartz]

physically based rendering

[amber hare]

ye

[lament quartz]

its not always "realistic" or high fidelity

https://www.moddb.com/rtx/mods

[amber hare]

which one do u recommend

[weak ermine]

all

[amber hare]

what

[lament quartz]

I do not reccomend any, i reccomend you make your own because its a neat learning process

[amber hare]

send me a tutorial then

cuz i didnt find any

[lament quartz]

I shall make my own

give me a few

[weak ermine]

lol

[amber hare]

when is it ready?

[lament quartz]

calm down its almost done

actually here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQejylcuAeU&list=PL4w6jm6S2lzvgJ97T1_VbLGBR_l6zzOUm

watch that

[weak ermine]

lol

why this is so hard for someone

its literally easiest way to mod games

god bless nvidia

[subtle bison]

isnt the video tutorial like super out of date now

[modern quest]

it's not that out of date. the core info is still correct. up until 2 months ago when the gui changed it was pretty accurate

could definitely do with a rework though

[lapis delta]

https://youtu.be/NSHSC-ss_CQ?si=RCY_8iCwComkAFxF
@glossy mauve are these just usual cubemaps?

[glossy mauve]

yuh

[subtle bison]

this shit took a fucking week to figure out, but anchored meshes now correctly translate into cordinates that remix understands
(edit: sort of, its still a bit broken)

i fucking hate cordinate systems with a passion

[winter radish]

Release date when tho

[subtle bison]

2039

fr tho, the scope of this project is FAR more daunting than i thought when i started this

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/cheems-doge-cyberpunk-cyber-synthwave-gif-26546679

[subtle bison]

once i figure out the mesh cordinates, It should become easier to work on

[subtle bison]

nvm i figured it out

🤤

[keen rivet]

lmao

[amber hare]

yeah no this is too complicated and idk how did they get that rtx remix files when i only got the garrysmod

with rtx remix

[weak ermine]

💀💀💀💀

[compact blaze]

How did you get those player shadows in base source gmod?

[wispy crest]

pretty sure there's a workshop mod for it

[distant crystal]

Download the toolkit via the NVIDIA app, make a capture in-game, open the capture in the toolkit and start playing with textures

Any changes you save in the toolkit should show in game, to do stuff like make the combine eyes glow you'll select the eyes and mess with the emissive settings

[amber hare]

how would downloading a toolkit know where to put it in so it will work in game?

plus what if i want to extract textures so i can add normal, roughness and new albedo maps in 4k

cuz i think all of them or somehow encoded or idk

[distant crystal]

They're just .dds format, when you make a capture it puts all the captured textures in the folder you made when you make the project in the toolkit
You can convert .dds to PNG and then import the PNG back to the toolkit once you're done

But it would be easier to use an AI upscaler to start, until you get a feel for ingesting textures and everything

https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1216200397497045002

With the above link you can just click on a texture in the toolkit, hit a button in the PBRify UI, and then it will add PBR to the texture for you

[amber hare]

yeah i know how to use an ai upscaler but i need the pngs

so yeah

i need to extract it from the dds

somehow

[distant crystal]

There's online converters for that, or photoshop / GIMP

[subtle bison]

or nvidia texture tools

even paint.net supports dds i think?

[amber hare]

funny enough thats the one i use lol

[lament quartz]

This is why I didn't waste my time finishing that tutorial chat

[distant crystal]

Everyone was new at some point

[amber hare]

i just dont know where did they get allat files

[lament quartz]

Yeah me too

[amber hare]

thats why i gave up on that video

[lament quartz]

Its in the nvidia app

[amber hare]

im installing this is this correct?

[lament quartz]

Yes

[distant crystal]

But you should go back to that video once you get the toolkit downloaded as its helpful for understanding the basics

[amber hare]

k

[compact blaze]

can u give the name

[wispy crest]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2844439442&searchtext=player+shadows

@compact blaze

there's a couple of them

[compact blaze]

thx

[amber hare]

how do i change the path of where m rtx remix installs??

cuz it took 20 gb on my local disc

[compact blaze]

You should pbrify your character

[compact blaze]

What’s that wolf character’s name again?

[weak ermine]

Loona

[compact blaze]

Ya pbrify loona

[weak ermine]

only if i find normal fur pbr materials

[compact blaze]

nah just make it looked messed up

[weak ermine]

fuck i life falchion

[wispy crest]

20??

[amber hare]

yes

[amber hare]

ok so i cant capture a scene

it white screens instantly

[weak ermine]

bruh

[weak ermine]

eh

i tried

[subtle bison]

1st sc looks like CS 1.6

[compact blaze]

if only remix added ways to remove those harsh shadows from low polygons

[weak ermine]

lol why

[subtle bison]

low res, bland lighting, low poly hands

[weak ermine]

nuh its just goofy material

[subtle bison]

sort of "just works" now, texconv seems to bug out when exporting multiple meshes at the same time tho (the table has the concrete texture)

[glossy mauve]

on that video? Source Shadows on the workshop

[compact blaze]

Ah ok thx

[lament quartz]

pog

[subtle bison]

LMFAO i did not think this would work

i re-exported the captured game lights which essentially fixes any light culling LFG

[lament quartz]

SOB

i cant wait for this to be released

[subtle bison]

every day we get closer to a toolkit replacement

[lament quartz]

insert spongebob I NEED IT.gif

[subtle bison]

i need to figure out texture replacements and non-anchor mesh replacements before i do any release

cuz rn this entire addon is built around the game having an anchor mesh to attach stuff to

[lament quartz]

sp even if theres a stable hash to attach the anchor mesh idea to it wont work?

[subtle bison]

hu

as long as you have a stable mesh hash of any kind, it will work

[lament quartz]

ah

either way it looks hella cool, and its usefull in the fact that no more ingestion no more ingestion no more ingestion!!!

[subtle bison]

it still technically ingests, but only on export

so at the moment it functions a lot differently than the toolkit

[lament quartz]

yeah

it just saves alot of time with allat

[subtle bison]

yea i hated dealing with that when using the toolkit

i just wanna drag shit into the scene and start working

[lament quartz]

exactly

[subtle bison]

if only uncle was here to see this

[wispy crest]

the toolkit is very confusing tbh

it kind of just assumes you know how to do everything

[subtle bison]

so does blender to some degree but its much more approachable and has plenty of documentation

[wispy crest]

blender is kind of easy

because it's a program that has years worth of documentation

I can't even figure out how to load anything in the remix tool kit

but I know how to delete the default cube in blender

[subtle bison]

the day blender removes the fly mode in the viewport is the day i stop using it (hopefully never)

i hate using the alt, shift, etc + mouse wheel button control layout

its so cumbersome, its much easier to control it like a FPS

[wispy crest]

whatever accelerates the development of gmod rtx

[subtle bison]

i just wanna remaster gm_construct without having to dig out an entire gpu to do it

thats the only reason why i started this

[wispy crest]

I've always loved gmod, even with raster lighting, it can look really really good

most of the time I have on gmod is just admiring lighting

[subtle bison]

its definitely one of the best showcases for remix too, since the entire theme of the game is to mod it, there is no criticism around art style or faithfulness

a sandbox if you will

[wispy crest]

and the fact you can mess around with anything

spawn like 10 lights and throw them around

cover up lights with props

[subtle bison]

yea i have like 200 hours on gmod rtx just doing that, especially with dupes

[wispy crest]

I love making scenes in gmod, but with path tracing, the lighting is amazing

[subtle bison]

yea its a game changer especially

[wispy crest]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1049072615064608871/1370469679889649744/Gmod_Rtx_Screenshot_2025.05.09_-_14.19.53.14.png?ex=6824e2d9&is=68239159&hm=2df7a8afcf8d56ff0eb99494c34ac6cb01a1f271a1b1475391612b83d7099002&

[subtle bison]

all the more reasons to fix eyes, imagine animations made in gmod rtx 🔥

[wispy crest]

like, this took very little effort

[subtle bison]

send that to the gmod server and they will think its made in blender cycles

[wispy crest]

sfm is really hard to learn

but I don't need to learn it now

simply learning posing and using already made animation and some fudging around with positioning, I don't need sfm

heres the same screenshot but without the fog

using source 2 models is a bit nicer now, because it doesnt look entirely out of place and kind of plays nice with the lighting

once hl2rtx is completed (soontm) everything will look amazing

[subtle bison]

i can notice the vertex lighting artifacts tho

(the tinted rocks on the ground)

[wispy crest]

its not perfect

all of these are standard props, with no pbr

[subtle bison]

it was fixed before but with how we're handling a lot of stuff like x32, we have to leave vertex lighting on or we get broken lighting

[wispy crest]

would having pbr change that?

i mean look how simple this picture is

but it looks incredible

having accurate lighting is a game changer

people are worried that this stuff will become depreciated like physX did

but this is much more than physX will ever do

I upgraded my computer just so I could have the chance of playing hl2rtx

[subtle bison]

if you bake the lights into the remix mod then yeah you can disable vertex lighting without any issues

remix api lights would also fix it but im so burned out trying to fix the crashes

[wispy crest]

a lot of the problem is that these maps on the workshop are kind old

and are using source tricks to accomplish lighting techniques

they dont translate well into remix

having fog on, you can clearly see where the light sources are coming from

sometimes its like 5 just for a small room

so you'd have to like, remake the maps in remix to get better lighting, no?

[subtle bison]

ye hopefully using the toolkit or blender to relight them should help a lot

[wispy crest]

or positioning lights

would it be impossible to put these remade maps on the workshop, even if its just lighting positioning changes? I would assume so

[subtle bison]

i believe the workshop has hardcoded paths and file types so most likely not

i mean maybe we can create our own lua entity and bake it into the map bsp?

that would probably work but that would need to be done in the binary module or something

[wispy crest]

I just wonder if there is a better place to host these remade things, other than moddb

or is that still the best place rn

[subtle bison]

i would prefer the workshop or some kind of native moddb implementation to the compat mod

surely i can find a way to make the runtime hot-reload mods

[wispy crest]

i would hate to deal with the workshop people

rocks have higher intelligence

I don't know how many times I need to explain to people how audio replacements work

or what an audio replacement is

when its in the description

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/source-gif-21974346

[weak ermine]

lol

true

[earnest yew]

guys

send ur best gmod rtx screenshots

prettiest screenshots etc

[subtle bison]

who u sending them to

👁️

[earnest yew]

[steel lark]

these look cool ig

but the first one is the best

just one thing @subtle bison do i wait for an update or reinstall gmod rtx now? also 32 bit or 64 bit?

[subtle bison]

if you still have 0.7.1 then there is no reason to update

x64 if the patches still work

[steel lark]

the patches seem messed up on 64x on linux for some reason

[subtle bison]

shouldnt be any different

python isnt different on linux lol

[steel lark]

ik but the you saw the video it was definitely culling

[subtle bison]

what patch repo did you use

[steel lark]

unless i got the wrong patch

[steel lark]

your patch iirc

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/sambow23/SourceRTXTweaks

[steel lark]

yeah

[subtle bison]

try it again

[steel lark]

ok

[subtle bison]

they appear to work on the latest x64 ver

for me at least

[steel lark]

maybe they broke without changing the binary?

[subtle bison]

wha

[steel lark]

idk if that's possible

ok i'll test it

[subtle bison]

no, the only way for them to break is if you patched your main gmod install and then steam updated it

[steel lark]

nah i don't use my main install

i hope i just installed it wrong

[subtle bison]

might want to copy over a fresh bin folder if you're doing it on a seperate install

if that doesnt work i can just send the patched binaries

[steel lark]

also i tried everything to get the launcher to work in linux but it didn't work

command prompt launcher soon™️

[subtle bison]

C# works fine on linux but its probably our exclusive use of windows API functions that makes it not work

though i would think running it in wine would fix that but i havent looked into it

[steel lark]

does the installation have a specific order? like the gmrtx-0.7.1-launcher then the patches or it doesn't matter?

[steel lark]

yeah even installing .net 8 on winetricks doesn't work

[subtle bison]

dxvk-remix first, patches, then compat mod archive

[steel lark]

okok

[hasty sonnet]

thx

[royal vortex]

rtx remixed backrooms

[subtle bison]

credit to uncle for making an aperture opaque custom node so we have the same material settings as the toolkit

🔥

[lament quartz]

Peam

[weak ermine]

uhhhm just use toolkit🤓

[wispy crest]

I'm sure this means something

but you might as well be speaking chinese

[subtle bison]

no freaking way suzanne barrel

[lament quartz]

Crazy work

[steel lark]

niceee

[rugged sluice]

i dont understand what kind of compsci wizardry you guys are running but i can really appreciat7e being able to download this stuff in like 10 clicks and have it work

[hexed temple]

Hey so I've been trying to get Gmod to work. It works all the way up to "Ready to play!" then it's stuck forever.

I followed this tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeMrlemVSl8&t=61s

I also have some addons installed that are meant to improve RTX on Gmod.

But nothing seems to work. If someone could give me some pointers, I'd really appreciate it.

Also using this launcher

[lament quartz]

Some maps won't work, which map are you trying

[hexed temple]

Tried gm_construct_rtx which is supposed to work better than other maps and I tried the normal gm_construct but its always stuck loading

[wispy crest]

I'm pretty sure that tutorial is outdated

[hexed temple]

I don't know what other tutorial to follow

[wispy crest]

all that is required is that you have the rtx launcher in a folder

and let the auto install do it's thing

[hexed temple]

Is there an actual working tutorial I can follow?

[wispy crest]

that is the tutorial

[hexed temple]

Yeah. That's not very helpful for me sorry

[wispy crest]

you don't even need to be subscribed to anything on the workshop

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

follow this

[hexed temple]

Alr

[wispy crest]

it's extremely simple now

it's like 3 mouse clicks

[hexed temple]

Ah okay I see now. The guy who made the video tutorial made this as well, I was following his old tutorial. I still used the RTX launcher just not following the updated github

[wispy crest]

yeah those tutorials are outdated and complicated

[hexed temple]

mhm

anyway thanks for the help

[hexed temple]

Also:

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

I wanted to install these materials to Gmod. Do I just drag them into the "base_mod" folder? Or is it more complex than that? These materials btw would be replacing the default HL2 materials entirely. Also I have a separate rtx.conf file for the HL2 PBR Pack

I'm sort of new to this but I wanna learn it so I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction

[lament quartz]

I'm pretty sure their in the old hash system and not the new one

[subtle bison]

extract the HalfLife2PBRPack folder to the root of rtx-remix\mods

[subtle bison]

we switched back to the old hash system

[hexed temple]

ooh

[lament quartz]

Oh

[subtle bison]

for compatibility of hl2rtx assets

[lament quartz]

Gotcha

[hexed temple]

So in here?

[subtle bison]

yep

[hexed temple]

Gotcha, so it was super simple lol

Thanks anyway

What about the separate rtx.conf that I have?

It came with the hl2 pbr

Should I overwrite the gmod rtx.conf?

[subtle bison]

no

[hexed temple]

Alr

[subtle bison]

also I would make sure to uninstall RTX Remix Fixes from the workshop as it will conflict with the built in version

[hexed temple]

Alright

Thanks

[wispy crest]

imo that pbr pack isnt worth it, its really outdated

[hexed temple]

Hey sorry, so I put it all there right. But none of the textures actually changed.

[subtle bison]

I would test it myself but its 25gb, not too sure, i assume the directory looks somewhat like this after its extracted?

[hexed temple]

yuh

[subtle bison]

and enhanced assets are enabled?

[hexed temple]

I am really dumb lmao

[subtle bison]

btw your hl2rtx and portalrtx mounts might be conflicting with the mod

[hexed temple]

oh

[subtle bison]

especially if they use the same hashes

[hexed temple]

that would make sense yeah

[subtle bison]

i saw your github issue for the launcher, i assume your game is up and running? I can go ahead and close it

[hexed temple]

yeah that was cus I was doing an old method

[hexed temple]

Alright so yeah still not working, I have enhancements enabled ofc

And some textures are weirdly static?

[subtle bison]

if i get the time ill test the mod later, but it could be broken for a number of reasons

[subtle bison]

wdym?

oh i see it now

the lower railing

[hexed temple]

yuh

[subtle bison]

if you turn off enhanced assets, does it go away?

[hexed temple]

yes

[subtle bison]

do you have a rtx 50 series gpu?

someone else had this issue with a 5060 ti

[hexed temple]

I do indeed have a 5060 ti exactly lol

[subtle bison]

rip

its a driver bug with that gpu iirc

[weak ermine]

lol

50 series issues 💔

[hexed temple]

So there's no way to fix it?

[subtle bison]

i think there was a workaround? i vaguely remember someone else disabling rtxio in hl2rtx and that fixed it.

open dxvk.conf in your main game directory and change it to false

[hexed temple]

ok ill try that

[subtle bison]

if it doesnt work then its something else, but you'd probably have to wait for a driver fix

[hexed temple]

so tragic

But thanks for the help anyway, hopefully it works

The railings are the only parts that have pbr lol

Oh well

[hasty sonnet]

if i disable rtx.io

the game freezes after i open a map

@hexed temple can you find rtx.useObsoleteHashOnTextureUpload = True?

if not

put it in

and relaunch

[hexed temple]

sure ill try

one sec

ill let you know if it works, give me a little bit

[hexed temple]

Doesn't do anything

[wispy crest]

once CR gets around to automating the hl2rtx mounting, those older pbr mods wont be needed

they arent very good anyways, because they are like, mass ai upscaled and then just basic pbr applied

there are some good construct ones

[hasty sonnet]

it does something

[hexed temple]

Well nothing visual

[hasty sonnet]

its for the textures]

hashes are the ids given to textures

if i had that disabled

the barrel wouldnt look like this

[hexed temple]

I get that but for me it does nothing

Just scroll up to read the conversation I had earlier

[hasty sonnet]

is that ravenholm?

[hexed temple]

No its just trainstation 03

[hasty sonnet]

not all assets are developed rn

💀

[hexed temple]

Bro

[hasty sonnet]

brothaaa

[hexed temple]

Read

The entire thing

I literately linked the moddb

[hasty sonnet]

why are you using this

install hl2 rtx

[hexed temple]

Dude.

🤦

I wanted to check out pbr textures cus the ones on moddb were finished

[hasty sonnet]

alright then explain what is going on

[hexed temple]

HL2 rtx is not

[hasty sonnet]

those suck ass

[hexed temple]

And it just wasn't working for me

[hexed temple]

Yeah I already know that.

Thanks for your feedback.

[hasty sonnet]

the most you can do is wait

1 reccomendation i do have is

learning to use the rtx remix/omniverse

then you can import your own stuff

[hexed temple]

I'm not gonna go crazy with the rtx remix, I'm just doing this to look at things. I don't have time to invest in doing the actual big stuff

[hasty sonnet]

or replace textures

[hasty sonnet]

oh alr

[wispy crest]

having hl2rtx and some other mods will have them conflict

[hasty sonnet]

i opened a rabbit hole that i cannot escape

[hasty sonnet]

extra fancy water melon because yes

sadly not apart of hl2 rtx

ill upload it to moddb

https://www.moddb.com/mods/gmod-rtx-remix-blood-pbr-mod/downloads/watermelon-rtx-on#downloadsform

[weak ermine]

bruh

[keen rivet]

@hexed temple just saw your message on my server, did you get things working?

[subtle bison]

he got the game up and running yea

[night bramble]

Curious does gwater2 function at all in remix

[hasty sonnet]

i think i remember some old stuff in the channel where they talked about it

but...

[compact blaze]

No sadly

Only gwater 1

[hasty sonnet]

that also means gelly doesnt work

since they render similarly

[near tartan]

Alright, it’s time we create grtxwater ourselves

[hasty sonnet]

get to work then

i only know html coding

[near tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/typing-computer-twitter-gif-12385391

[hasty sonnet]

so i cant do shit

[subtle bison]

no

[hasty sonnet]

CR

[near tartan]

I hardly know that

[hasty sonnet]

i can only make small templates

not full on websites

only my friend can

[night bramble]

That still looks cool

[lament quartz]

I only know rLUA

[night bramble]

luau

[hasty sonnet]

theres a caustic conf somewhere around the channel

[hasty sonnet]

what in the robloxian

[near tartan]

Welp, I got the rest of my life ahead of me to complete Grtxwater, it probably will be done in 30 years

[hasty sonnet]

INTRUDER ALERT

[lament quartz]

I've made some pretty popular roblox games back in the day

[hasty sonnet]

ROBLOX PLAYER

[lament quartz]

Yeah, I play roblox

:eyye:

[hasty sonnet]

how hypocritical of me lmao

[night bramble]

Roblox lua is luau

rLua is rust

[hasty sonnet]

yes i have it installed

but i dont play it that much

[lament quartz]

I know luau too

[lament quartz]

I play it clinically

[hasty sonnet]

he looks familliar

[lament quartz]

That's me

[hasty sonnet]

either thats the most common avatar or i just only saw you once

for what game im clinically hooked on?

for the only time i play roblox

[wispy crest]

roblox is goated

[wispy crest]

been playing from 2009

[wispy crest]

too mad it's fallen off

[lament quartz]

Its not that common tbh

[wispy crest]

I play project stardust

[hasty sonnet]

im the richest on roblox bro i got 2 robux to my name bro (my questionable spending habits)

[lament quartz]

You've prolly seen me

[lament quartz]

I have 147k robux

😄

But that's #offtopic

[wispy crest]

I miss tix

[hasty sonnet]

clinical spender

[lament quartz]

Not alot was my money mind you, I used to make games back in the day

[hasty sonnet]

look in 2016 i had bentoboxes

[lament quartz]

It was p popular

[wispy crest]

Roblox rtx

[hasty sonnet]

in 2020 i had questionable spending habits

[lament quartz]

I spent all my robux on nothing except my fit

I still have alot

[wispy crest]

has anyone made PBR citizen models yet

[hasty sonnet]

probably not

[wispy crest]

to bring the topic back to gmod

[hasty sonnet]

i wont be doing that anytime soon

[subtle bison]

to what point if the eyes dont work

[hasty sonnet]

i just make assets for myself

[wispy crest]

weren't you working on that

[subtle bison]

i was, im very burned out

[wispy crest]

just hate that character models look really weird in the light

[hasty sonnet]

work on it once you feel like it

[subtle bison]

its much harder than i thought

[wispy crest]

take as many breaks as you need

it's just gmod lol

[subtle bison]

nah its fuckin source engine on fixed function

[wispy crest]

the work you've done already is enough

[subtle bison]

its a nightmare when half the shit has been deprecated for almost a decade

[wispy crest]

ye

I wonder how hl2rtx team will tackle it

[subtle bison]

they already did in prelude rtx

[wispy crest]

they did gregori

[hasty sonnet]

hl2 is not like portal genuienly

[subtle bison]

i have no idea how they did it as David has not revealed what sorcery they did

[hasty sonnet]

portal has its assets reused alot

hl2 doesnt

[subtle bison]

they're using the same engine base for the remix remaster

[hasty sonnet]

different assets are used per chapter

[hasty sonnet]

what im saying the time it will take is different

[wispy crest]

well those combine soldiers aren't original models

[hasty sonnet]

metrocop got fucked over to a downscaled model bro

it looks so ass

[subtle bison]

the eyes already work there 💀

[hasty sonnet]

why not look through the code

tinkering isnt a bad thing

[wispy crest]

neither are the combine interfaces or manhacks

[subtle bison]

there is no source

[wispy crest]

but I suspect those are holdovers for the demo?

[hasty sonnet]

ah shit

i guess thats it then

gmod rtx is over bro

or is it?

if my stupid ass learns lua

my time isnt that tight on fridays or saturdays

[wispy crest]

hl2rtx really is magic

[subtle bison]

im sure there is something i can figure out but I'd prefer to keep my sanity. I also dont think lua is gonna save us here

[hasty sonnet]

ill either stay up to 3 or 2AM in UTC 9+ Tokyo and Osaka.

[subtle bison]

guh

[hasty sonnet]

so what can we do then

what wizard belkan sorcery do we need?

[wispy crest]

make our own fix I guess

[hasty sonnet]

we gotta get Geforce black magic bro

or we aint keeping up

[subtle bison]

💀

[wispy crest]

I doubt they will reveal their secrets

[hasty sonnet]

true

and if they do

im gonna laugh my ass off

[near tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/crawly-meme-gnome-gnomes-gnome-vs-knight-gif-15913868200491032239

GeForce Wizard

[hasty sonnet]

vs AMD knight

[subtle bison]

i think it's something really simple just based on heuristics looking at engine code but there is also a lot of other factors

[wispy crest]

I wonder if it's something super simple and we are over thinking

[near tartan]

They lack the magic of Deep Learning Anti Aliasing

[subtle bison]

fsr/xess full res would like a word with you

[wispy crest]

DLAA my beloved

[hasty sonnet]

DLAA is FPS killer in gmod rtx bro

i hate DLAA in gmod rtx

but i love it in other games

[wispy crest]

I wish I could force it in every game

[hasty sonnet]

its in DCS

[near tartan]

I love DLAA in gmod

[hasty sonnet]

why cant it be in any other

[wispy crest]

DLAA works fine in gmod?

[subtle bison]

its almost as if path tracing is demanding or something

[hasty sonnet]

how does one play with 3fps

[wispy crest]

I don't have any problems with it

[near tartan]

I run at 50+ usually at 1440p

4070 SUPER

[subtle bison]

tf do u have a 5090?

you sure you're doing full res?

[hasty sonnet]

...

[near tartan]

#1116089843479498782 message

[hasty sonnet]

I need

[near tartan]

110%

[hasty sonnet]

I need

[wispy crest]

I also get over 60 with 4070S

[hasty sonnet]

I need to buy a fucking 5090ti

[wispy crest]

with dlaa

[subtle bison]

at 1440p?

[hasty sonnet]

my ass here is using a 4060ti

and i can keep up

[near tartan]

Sometimes I it’ll run bad but most maps run well

[near tartan]

Yes

[hasty sonnet]

cant*

[hasty sonnet]

ru running it at 480p?

[wispy crest]

I'm at 1080p

[hasty sonnet]

same

[near tartan]

1440p

[hasty sonnet]

yes i see

[near tartan]

Mhm

[hasty sonnet]

my PC when full resolution:

[near tartan]

I’ve been swearing it for a while and will continue too, the 4070 SUPER is the best card that Nvidia has made since the 1080 Ti, I think it’s the best on the market right now

What card do you have?

[hasty sonnet]

4060Ti

16gb aint enough

i need 12tb

[wispy crest]

lol 4070S has 12

[near tartan]

12 is tho, funny how these things work

[hasty sonnet]

maybe its my cpu prob

[wispy crest]

I wonder how much better the 4070STi is

[near tartan]

Maybe, I got a 7800x3d, so can’t really get better than that

[wispy crest]

I think I have i7 14700f

[hasty sonnet]

my motherboard only got intel

[near tartan]

The Death, of the CPU

[hasty sonnet]

i have the budget to get a i9-14900KS

so i can get it

5090ti also its within my budget

[near tartan]

Might as well just switch the the 7800x3d or a 9000 if both fit into the budget atp

[near tartan]

Yeah but anyway I’ll usually get 50 fps at 1440p, with frame Gen

[subtle bison]

ok there is the kicker

frame gen

[hasty sonnet]

i dont really like what the rtx team did with the barrel

[hasty sonnet]

frame gen didnt save me

[subtle bison]

i was gonna say a 4070 cannot not natively push 1440p 50fps full res without FG on remix lmao

[hasty sonnet]

it doesnt feel like 30

@subtle bison when will you add the unused hdris in the textures folder to the hdri menu?

[subtle bison]

i forgor about them ngl lol

idk if ill ever do that, but you can edit the mod.usda file to change the textures yourself

[wispy crest]

why wouldn't you use FG?

lmao

[hasty sonnet]

also when will you fix the goofy ahh flashlight

[wispy crest]

free frames

[subtle bison]

because if the base framerate is below 60fps it looks and feels like shit

💔

gmod rtx has plenty of maps where you are engine limited

[wispy crest]

it feels fine to me

[subtle bison]

wdym

[hasty sonnet]

look at this bro

what the fuck is the flashlight doing

[subtle bison]

thats not the flashlight, you changed a remix setting

one sec i forgot the na,e

turn this back on

[hasty sonnet]

thanks

im gonna try the light spread test

[weak ermine]

why tf u turn this off

[hasty sonnet]

to be honest

it was off when i reset the config

[weak ermine]

why tf u need reset config

[hasty sonnet]

no hdri shadow

[hasty sonnet]

works

[subtle bison]

wha

wdym no hdri shadow

💀

oh ik

[hasty sonnet]

there was no shadows for the hdri

and that my config was hella cursed

[subtle bison]

you probably turned off NEE Cache

[hasty sonnet]

it was on

[subtle bison]

guh that is what breaks HDRI shadows

[hasty sonnet]

also how do i get direct illum to respond faster?

[wispy crest]

create a better GPU

[subtle bison]

not sure, most of those settings are for NRC are they not? i am a AMD user so i cant help there

[hasty sonnet]

nvm it does

the direct illum is pretty fast already

[hasty sonnet]

they are for everything

direct illum

indirect

[weak ermine]

no rr

no nrc

[hasty sonnet]

and im using ReStir Global illum

cuz infinite distance

and because NRC suck dick

[subtle bison]

yea i didnt like NRC either

thankfully restir gi works for me

[hasty sonnet]

restir GI is ironically the best

btw quick question

is it actually screenspaced?

[subtle bison]

ye

iirc

[hasty sonnet]

it yields better results

yet its only screenspaced

i had experiences where its not screenspaced

[subtle bison]

prob is that if something emissive happens offscreen, it doesnt show up

uncle demo'ed this with the media player and NRC a while back

[hasty sonnet]

why did he get 1 sentence banned

also is there an alternative to pbrify

because idk how

nvm

there is

remix ingestion

[subtle bison]

pbrfusion 3

its really good

[hasty sonnet]

i use remix ingestion to make the pbr and roughness work

[subtle bison]

😦

[hasty sonnet]

it works well

if i have a incorrect normal map

(the blue ones)
