[hasty sonnet]

remix will invert it for me

idgaf about upscaling

unless its below 1k

[compact blaze]

Why does it seem remix’s implementation of nrc is so bad

[hasty sonnet]

this water melon is 1k

and it looks actually real

[wispy crest]

melun

[subtle bison]

for me its the update rate, and the inital driver crash bugs

[hasty sonnet]

for me

update rate and too complex

its too fucking complex

i read the tool tips

and i still dont get it

[subtle bison]

built custom stdshader_dx* dlls so i can get the eye rendering path, i did not think this would work

chat we are getting somewhere 👀

[wispy crest]

it's happening

[near tartan]

Eyes_dx6 shader

[subtle bison]

oh fuck yes we are getting closer

im starting to figure out what the engine is doing in fixed function mode

it doesnt even try to load any render paths in stdshader_dx9, so I'm making fixed versions of each material in stdshader_dx6, allowing source to use the material

UHHH

IS THAT A FUCKING EYE BALL

NO WAY

AHAHAHA

they do not animate so its like gmod x32 but i think this can be fixed

i can also fix particles this way

no fucking way this is so PEAK

now that the iris works, gotta fix the ball

[hasty sonnet]

will work for 64x?

[subtle bison]

this is x64

it will also work for x32

[near tartan]

64 bit works now 🥹

[subtle bison]

64-bit has been working

[near tartan]

Since when

[subtle bison]

since december

[near tartan]

Let me find the message when you said it was broken under a month ago

[subtle bison]

you asked how long its been working, not feature parity with x32

[near tartan]

All I’m sure of is it x64 didnt work about

A month ago

[subtle bison]

bro

#1116089843479498782 message

i have messages going back to december

[near tartan]

Yeah but it was when I was setting it up, you said “yeah x64 is completely broken”

So I took that as it doesn’t work

[subtle bison]

find the message

[near tartan]

I’m looking

[subtle bison]

vertex blending is gonna suck to fix

[near tartan]

I was almost there and it force scrolled me back to the bottom 😭

I’ll get there

It’s just gonna take a while

#1116089843479498782 message

@subtle bison

There

Almost 2 weeks ago exactly

[subtle bison]

was just a bad engine patch

i fixed it in like a day or two

[near tartan]

Well that’s not December

[subtle bison]

#1116089843479498782 message

the point is that x64 has been working, and it can/will get broken with the constant updates it gets since its in a dev channel

[near tartan]

But anyway good to here you got it working again 👍😊

[subtle bison]

its just how it is

[near tartan]

So when I run quick install with the exe again it’ll do everything for me up to the new version

[subtle bison]

ye

[near tartan]

Cool stuff

[hasty sonnet]

im bored as shit what can i do rn

the most im doing rn to keep my self entertained is literally listening to music

but my ADHD wont allow to me to merely exist

[subtle bison]

real

[hasty sonnet]

yes

[subtle bison]

why does my status just randomly show this

💀

i dont even have a java app of any kind of open

[hasty sonnet]

poems

goofy name for a song

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison thats for pregnant man reacting

[near tartan]

tested 4k and can output similar fps with just dlss quality

[distant crystal]

What CPU do you got? I went from an i7 7700k to i9 14900k and it made maybe 5-10 FPS difference (with a 3080 10Gb)

Of course thermals are holding me back, that sucker gets hot as hell without good cooling and a GPU at 99% usage

[subtle bison]

is this even gmod anymore

bro got the real life addon

[brittle token]

that's.. that cant be gmod, right?

[wispy crest]

it's dcs

[brittle token]

makes sense

[hasty sonnet]

i9-127000k

no

not i9

[modern quest]

damn

127000k

[hasty sonnet]

its not bad

but its certainly not the best

[smoky otter]

damn, 127000k

[hasty sonnet]

sadly its i7

[weak ermine]

127000k?

[hasty sonnet]

just K

i-7

not i9

[weak ermine]

maybe 12700k:trollface:

[hasty sonnet]

i realized what happened

spelling mistake

[compact blaze]

if it wasn't for the buggy trees this would look absolutely insane

[compact blaze]

GTA 5 graphics

I mean it’s better than source graphics so we’re getting there

[kind kraken]

@amber hare

[amber hare]

yh?

[kind kraken]

this is where you wanna be for gmod stuff. As you can see people have gotten a ton of stuff going relatively seamlessly

[amber hare]

yeah i see that

maybe my system just isnt configured or smth

[kind kraken]

afaik it's all supposed to be pretty simple. Though I haven't messed with GMOD myself

is this what you used

[lament quartz]

its a 1 click installer type shi

[amber hare]

true but then why doesnt it work

[amber hare]

literally what i used

[kind kraken]

are you opening the game through the launcher or through steam

[amber hare]

i downloaded the rtx launcher, put it in a folder in my steam apps/common named gmod rtx, run as administrator and it worked just fine

up until trying to install that toolkit from nvidia

and trying to install mods

[kind kraken]

the toolkit is used to create remix mods, you don't need it to install em to your game

[amber hare]

the mod from jason worked still fine

[amber hare]

it was in my program files i think

i was trying to make pbr textures

but besdies that, i still cant play rtx remix cuz it crashes

well not crashes but white screens it and never loads

[kind kraken]

and you're using the gmod remix compatibility mod launcher to open the game right?

[amber hare]

what is a remix compatibility mod launcher

i just used the rtx launcher

.exe

[kind kraken]

yes that's what I mean

[amber hare]

yeah

i do

[kind kraken]

im gonna download gmod real quick to see myself, gimme a bit

[amber hare]

these are the mods

[lament quartz]

wait

is your gmod install 32 or 64 bit

[amber hare]

64 bit

[lament quartz]

kk

[amber hare]

still dont know why the maps dont appear in the menu tho

because i think i put them in the correct folder no?

because the mirror and glass addon works

maybe the combine light eyes are crashing my game idk

[subtle bison]

wha, remixed versions of maps are not gonna show in the game

its just a replacement pack of assets for the map, you still need the original map addon

[amber hare]

i do, and when i go into the map it doesnt seem like the mod worked

it looks the same just with fancy ligthing

no pbr textures

[wispy crest]

you have 2 constructs

and make sure they are using old hashes

[lament quartz]

@subtle bison too many requests?

[amber hare]

ye cuz i thought these were going to be seperate maps as they showed in the screenshots

[wispy crest]

they are just assets

[weak ermine]

maybe bcz mod needs old cfg

[wispy crest]

no maps

[amber hare]

maybe

[amber hare]

k

[subtle bison]

i dont get this

it sounds like a github rate limit error

so nothing with the launcher itself

[lament quartz]

ah

[weak ermine]

pay to rtx

[kind kraken]

I might've used it at the exact same time they did so maybe it's that? LMAO

[subtle bison]

we dont use an api key so i dont think so

its straight up downloading .zip files from github

[amber hare]

so i found the files of the exact name but none of them are .vtf or .vpk

[kind kraken]

roger. Anyways yeah I got it working with the remix launcher mod, seems to work out of the box. But I haven't tried any new assets

[weak ermine]

png

[amber hare]

no .png's

[weak ermine]

wtf

[amber hare]

only the ones i have

and i guess somehow they work?

[subtle bison]

you probably opened the wrong vpk set

it would be in hl2_textures_dir.vpk

[subtle bison]

but seriously just use the remix toolkit or capture to get the textures 💀

[amber hare]

as u know my toolkit doesnt work

[subtle bison]

why

[amber hare]

it freezes on capturing

on the sample...

[weak ermine]

and how the fuck u gonna mod ur oildrum

[subtle bison]

source engine textures are packed into VPK archives...

[amber hare]

im trying to get all the materials that are in gmod, port them to an ai thingy that will make them have normal maps in 4k and upscale them

[weak ermine]

and

[amber hare]

so they dont show up as files?

[subtle bison]

no

[weak ermine]

and after that

[subtle bison]

vtf is the texture format source engine uses

[weak ermine]

what u gonna do

[amber hare]

use them in gmod i guess

normal gmod

cuz rtx remix too expensive too play

[weak ermine]

bruh

[amber hare]

and too buggy to use any explosion effects

or any effects addons

[weak ermine]

lol

funny

[subtle bison]

its a compatibility mod first so anything beyond included game assets is "on your own" territory

[amber hare]

yes but they still arent a file then

like

on the search bar

[subtle bison]

they are, they're just packed into VPK archvies

[amber hare]

what is a .vpk archive

is this just like a

format that has a bunch of textures?

[subtle bison]

you are going to struggle modding even base gmod if you dont get familar with source engine file types and layouts

[weak ermine]

just use vpkedit

[amber hare]

i am getting familiar with u guys

[subtle bison]

think of it as a .zip but for source

it can hold any type of file

[amber hare]

ok so how do i unpack it and then pack it back together to the .vpk archive

[weak ermine]

bro

google banned in ur country ?

[amber hare]

wait so vpkedit can do unpacking too?

didnt know that

[weak ermine]

yes

[amber hare]

google didnt tell me how to pack them back to the archive tho

nvm

but idk how to get the vpk.exe file tho

nvm lol

k

i will tell yall if ts works

cuz its getting deep

also thanks for being so chill about it

[earnest yew]

you type like me

but more autistic

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

[amber hare]

im not autistic bro 😭

[earnest yew]

might wanna get that checked

[amber hare]

._.

not nice

[weak ermine]

fotrinati player

[amber hare]

i dont play fortnite

[weak ermine]

im not about you

[amber hare]

oh ok

[wispy crest]

idk, ur a protogen

[amber hare]

just because im a protogen doesnt mean im autistic

i have something else tho

lol

[steel lark]

https://tenor.com/view/omni-man-omni-man-are-you-sure-are-you-sure-invincible-gif-3935116808772397515

[amber hare]

and hold on a second, arent 🫵 a furry?

[amber hare]

im sure i have something else than autism

[steel lark]

https://tenor.com/view/picmix-pear-baby-pear-baby-pear-teto-gif-17710330351633320734

[amber hare]

wtf is this

[amber hare]

ts looks like i would wake up in the middle of the night drunk, opened a gif editor, typed pear into google search and paste in anything that you see

[earnest yew]

im elgaim swag

[amber hare]

how do i make it so that the normal maps actually look like they stick out?

this has a normal map and doesnt stick out

[weak ermine]

nuh

[wispy crest]

this is a bold accusation

[weak ermine]

u cant

[amber hare]

only in rtx remix?

[wispy crest]

yes

remix is what allows pbr materials

[weak ermine]

yes

[amber hare]

but then how can there be parallex blood decals

in vanilla gmod?

[weak ermine]

custom shaders

[amber hare]

ohhh wait true

but u cant do that since the 32 bit of gmod doesnt work

[wispy crest]

bumpmaps works as well

there a lot of tricks that people do

[weak ermine]

he wants pom

[wispy crest]

also i think gmod can do parallax

wut

[weak ermine]

with custom shaders yes

[wispy crest]

ye

source used to have proper parallax mapping but was cut during hl2 development

[weak ermine]

imagine hl2 with fear graphics

[wispy crest]

Parallax occlusion mapping

[weak ermine]

that's what i said bro

[wispy crest]

you said "or how tf it names"

oh black mesa can do pom

lol

[weak ermine]

were

[wispy crest]

u cheeky

i will get u

[amber hare]

how

do i need .vmt files?

cuz those are information files

do i just leave them?

[wispy crest]

bumpmaps are already in source games

all materials have them

POM is an enhancement of bumpmapping

[amber hare]

well then

how do i enable it in gmod?

[wispy crest]

if you are serious about learning about source modding, check out https://developer.valvesoftware.com

[wispy crest]

they are already enabled

[amber hare]

but they dont look like this

[wispy crest]

thats parallax

source games do not natively support POM (Parallax occlusion mapping)

Black mesa has its own way of doing POM

but if you are putting things through the ai upscaler and then creating textures with heightmaps, and then slapping it into default gmod, it wont do anything because it doesnt know what to do with it

[amber hare]

ok so i should only create normal and albedo maps then?

[wispy crest]

albedo, or diffuse maps, aren't really used either

source is over 20 years old

[weak ermine]

u serious

[wispy crest]

it doesnt really have any fancy features

[amber hare]

i was confused bruh

i understand it now

[wispy crest]

unless its highly modified, which gmod isnt

[amber hare]

bro

u dont know what albedo map is?

[wispy crest]

I literally just told you

they are used in tf2

but idk about hl2

[amber hare]

🤦‍♂️

an albedo map is the color map

the default texture

thats an albedo map

normal map adds "height"

[wispy crest]

im not sure what you are trying to do

like, what are you trying to achieve

[amber hare]

wdym

achieve with what

[wispy crest]

like what are you doing

the textures

[amber hare]

trying to upscale them so they are actually high quality

and not mashed potatoes

[wispy crest]

there are plenty of texture replacements on the workshop

that aren't simple ai upscaled retextures

[amber hare]

send me atleast one that looks like vanilla gmod textures just being higher resolution

[wispy crest]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2785959955&searchtext=ai+upscaled

[amber hare]

its green

i used it

awful

plus its a "simple ai upscaled retextures"

[wispy crest]

you wanted the "vanilla gmod textures just being higher resolution"

[amber hare]

yep

not broken addons

its all green

the whole ai upscale is green

[subtle bison]

idk what you're expecting, there is no magic PBR upscaling tool that is going to give you what you want

[wispy crest]

im confused

[amber hare]

there is

its just pbrify

it doesnt add any green tint to it

[subtle bison]

i meant within expectations

[wispy crest]

yeah, it works in remix

but you want it in default gmod

[amber hare]

pbrify works just fine

tested it on the oildrum

[wispy crest]

in remix or vanilla gmod

[amber hare]

in image viewer 💀

[wispy crest]

brother

[earnest yew]

wtf is a green tint

[wispy crest]

I have ported the cinematic mod textures to gmod

if you want that

[earnest yew]

yummers

[amber hare]

idk what are cinematic mod textures but sure

[amber hare]

this looks nice

[wispy crest]

oppd

[earnest yew]

thanks i did it in like 5 seconds

[wispy crest]

lol

[amber hare]

is it ai upscaler?

[earnest yew]

yes

[earnest yew]

a pocket of copper

[wispy crest]

eat it

[amber hare]

show me original texture

[wispy crest]

what

[weak ermine]

alert

[wispy crest]

thats from the image jessica posted

[weak ermine]

ai shit

[weak ermine]

bruh

they are the same

[wispy crest]

the original has that little orange spot?

lmao

[earnest yew]

i also think these look really good

im getting ready for prom rn

and workin on textures

#multitasking

[weak ermine]

awful

[amber hare]

they look exactly the same just one is higher resolution

[weak ermine]

absolute dogshit

[earnest yew]

this guy hates fun and whimsey

[weak ermine]

but this is looks like absolute ai slop shit

[amber hare]

why do u think that?

[earnest yew]

is that good or bad

[amber hare]

good ofc

[weak ermine]

absolute shit

[amber hare]

this green tint has the original texture

[earnest yew]

Tweaker...

[weak ermine]

unnatural bulshit

[amber hare]

what are you high on?

[half viper]

whats this discourse all about

[earnest yew]

ai bad

slop

texture

ig

[amber hare]

that some people think these textures look bad

even tho they dont

[half viper]

thats subjective
do whatever you like really

[amber hare]

one thing i have problems with

[earnest yew]

im doing my eyelashes rn

[half viper]

yea?

[earnest yew]

i love arguing

[amber hare]

do i leave the .vmt files

[half viper]

wdym

[amber hare]

when trying to replace textures

like

do i copy them?

[subtle bison]

are you replacing them in the engine? 💀

[amber hare]

no

i have a plan

[earnest yew]

the engine will bottleneck and explode

[half viper]

dont touch the VMT files if you dont want to change the texture hashes

[subtle bison]

if the plan involves replacing in remix, no you dont need the VMTs

[amber hare]

k

[weak ermine]

nuh

[amber hare]

these look so good omg

[weak ermine]

still looks like fucking plasticine shit

[amber hare]

???

[earnest yew]

[amber hare]

its cement??

[half viper]

jesus guys just copy the fucking files from half life 2 rtx

[earnest yew]

bricks arent made of cement

[earnest yew]

just a example 🤓

[half viper]

🙄

[weak ermine]

and paste them in fucking default gmod

[amber hare]

oh yeah

[weak ermine]

get bottleneck

and big

engine error

out of memory

[amber hare]

nvm they look horrible

its not even 4k

[half viper]

im supposed to study chemistry i have an exam in 14 hours
and im wasting my time on internet
im procrastinating af

[subtle bison]

we are reaching maximum levels of brainrot in this thread

[earnest yew]

im putting on a dress rn

[modern quest]

if it goes any further i'm gonna have to quarantine you guys

[earnest yew]

MWAHAHAHA

[subtle bison]

do it

[half viper]

i want a dress too :((((

[amber hare]

this looks horrible

[earnest yew]

send me it

[modern quest]

wish i could rock one

[earnest yew]

nvm i prolly have it right here

[modern quest]

you're using gigapixel or photo ai?

[earnest yew]

gig

[half viper]

the replaced hl2rtx textures are not in VTF files

[amber hare]

then in what?

[half viper]

in rtx remix folder

[weak ermine]

in mods

bruh

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/wiki/Using-HL2-RTX-Assets-in-Garry's-Mod-RTX

they are packaged in .pkg files so you will need this tutorial

[wispy crest]

i dont even know what he wants

[earnest yew]

i have both but i just be using gig cause idgaf about photoai

[weak ermine]

he wants replace original texture to new one

[amber hare]

i used pbrify

[weak ermine]

IN ORIGINAL GMOD

[wispy crest]

yeah in vanilla gmod

[subtle bison]

a fate worse than death

[amber hare]

but they are in usd files

[amber hare]

yeah?

[subtle bison]

🙄

[amber hare]

why is it so bad?

[half viper]

yeah exactly thats how they are stored

[subtle bison]

chat i cant do it anymore

[weak ermine]

bro just give up

[half viper]

rtx remix doesnt touch the original files

[wispy crest]

usd my beloved

[amber hare]

why bruh

i can do it

[weak ermine]

play with original textures

[weak ermine]

yeah?

[wispy crest]

yeah nothing is replaced in hl2rtx

[weak ermine]

why they are in usd

huh?

interesting

[half viper]

i mean

he can learn

he just doesnt know much about rtx remix

[weak ermine]

its so easy

to learn

[amber hare]

yeah i know shit about rtx remix

[earnest yew]

this guys knows shit

[weak ermine]

yeah

why they in usd

[wispy crest]

remix does everything through "enhancements" which allows you to turn the new things on and off

and see the difference

[amber hare]

uh ok

[wispy crest]

so nothing is replaced

[earnest yew]

this one came out ass ngl

[amber hare]

how did u upscale it?

[earnest yew]

gigapixel

i use gigapixel cause its just easy and fast for me

[weak ermine]

looks like painting

[half viper]

i wish i could give you the old portal rtx files
it should teach you how rtx remix works because it wasnt compressed like newer versions

[wispy crest]

u look like a panting

[amber hare]

yall thinking about paintings while im trying to figure out how to convert pngs into vft

[half viper]

again, you dont need to touch the game files to use rtx remix

[amber hare]

k but its laggy i'd rather use the gmod vanilla for now until i get a better pc

[weak ermine]

he wants replace textures in vanilla gmod

[amber hare]

so im trying to make an addon that will replace all the textures with ai upscaled ones

[weak ermine]

not in remix

[amber hare]

gigapixel is 99 dollars bruh

[half viper]

ah

i see

[earnest yew]

not to me

[half viper]

so why are we talking about it in the rtx remix server if you arent going to use rtx remix lol

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

[weak ermine]

idk

[amber hare]

how

[weak ermine]

ask him

[amber hare]

i am using

but if i cant even capture the sample then i aint gonna do nothing with modding

[earnest yew]

💔

[half viper]

you cant capture the scene?

why is that?

does it crash?

or nothing happens at all?

[amber hare]

it whitescreens

[weak ermine]

its u?

[amber hare]

when trying to capture

[earnest yew]

sadly

[half viper]

@subtle bison is it something to do with your mods?
i remember an option about a capture safe mode in your addon

[subtle bison]

that stuff is all gone

i think his issue is exclusive to the 5060 ti as it has a lot of bugs with remix

gmod doesnt have any capture issues at all

[weak ermine]

he has 3060

[subtle bison]

huh nanduk said they had a 5060 ti iirc

[weak ermine]

huh

bro with

grey

pfp

has 5060

ti

[subtle bison]

oops

[amber hare]

it was the tool kit

[subtle bison]

so not the game?

[amber hare]

no i didnt

[amber hare]

the sample

[subtle bison]

yea i got the wrong person

[subtle bison]

what sample

[amber hare]

the sample that comes with the toolkit that the guy tells u to open in the first video in that nvidia's tutorial

[subtle bison]

uhhh i dont know anything about that. but you're supposed to import your own game capture

[weak ermine]

bruuuuuuh

[subtle bison]

i cant really demo that because i have AMD so no toolkit for me

[weak ermine]

and no nrc

[subtle bison]

can someone here record themselves making a game capture and opening it in the toolkit?

[weak ermine]

and rr

[subtle bison]

meh nrc sucks

[weak ermine]

nuh

lol this is

so easy

[subtle bison]

well rather than patronize the guy, show him 💀

[wispy crest]

idk how to use toolkit at all

[weak ermine]

let someone else record this shit

i dont wanna waste time for that bro

i have things to do

bye

[wispy crest]

lol

[steel lark]

nrc is straight up missing in linux for some reason

[amber hare]

are the different folders in materials folder necessary or can i just put all the materials into one folder?

[earnest yew]

[amber hare]

does gmod use roughness maps?

[lament quartz]

Gmod rtx? You have to make or install them

Gmod itself doesnt im pretty sure

[meager oar]

wth 200 plus comments in just few hrs

[amber hare]

u wont even know its ai lol

[weak ermine]

easy to detect

[amber hare]

it isnt like u would be staring at a texture for 5 minutes to detect it

[weak ermine]

20 seconds

[amber hare]

still longer than u would just play the game

plus its just for realism

normally this texture was 4 times smaller

[weak ermine]

realism

why they in usd

[amber hare]

they arent in usd

[weak ermine]

:trollface:

[amber hare]

they are pngs for now

before i convert them back to .vft

and see if it works

[weak ermine]

meh

[amber hare]

vfte might just explode when im gonna try putting in the materials folder

[weak ermine]

wha

[amber hare]

vft edit

[weak ermine]

meh

its not remix now

[lapis delta]

why is slow mode enabled here?

[amber hare]

so people dont spam too much

[meager oar]

bruh you and Fektor were the ones chatting so much yesterday 😅 that's why the slow mode Is here now

[lament quartz]

Its very easy to notice the smudginess imo

no fucking way we have slow mode

LMAOOO

1942

[weak ermine]

1984

[keen rivet]

Slow mode is shite

It means I can't banepost

[amber hare]

@subtle bison so i did finally get all of the upscaled textures but idk if i was supposed to generate a .vmt file to it

i used vftedit for it

rn its converting all of the pngs i upscaled

so was i supposed to make the vmt file or just the vft files?

[weak ermine]

bro wtf this is remix fucking server are u brainless?

[lament quartz]

An is your whole personality just being an ass or is it a bit

I can't tell

[lament quartz]

You don't convert them into vtfs unless you are editing the map itself

You can just ingest and replace them in the nvidia app

[amber hare]

uh what?

thats how u replace files in gmod no?

[lament quartz]

Why are you replacing the files themselves instead of just replacing the textures in nvidia? Any specific reason

[amber hare]

because im making a normal addon

to gmod

not rtx remix

and as far as i know nvidia doesnt have the access to edit those files in gmod

[lament quartz]

Ah, well this might not be the server to discuss that, maybe take to #offtopic to ask

[weak ermine]

oh seriously

[drifting hinge]

where did skurtyy go

[lament quartz]

Bro left after saying allat

[drifting hinge]

here lies: skurtyyskirts i think

uhh rest in ray tracing

[lament quartz]

He rejoined

Unless my discord is buged

[drifting hinge]

who? skurtyy left or i left? because both of us are still in the server

[lament quartz]

It strangely tells me you aren't

[drifting hinge]

this is a mobile discord moment

anywho... what happening in the world of rtx remix

/BlueAmulat How to patch Gmod files

hmm doesn't seem to work

[hasty sonnet]

lmao

[subtle bison]

[drifting hinge]

is this 🔥 or

[meager oar]

well its nividia so

[lapis delta]

me core

i can't tell if it's red or green when they have the same shades

[subtle bison]

I wonder how we would participate in the remix contest

[peak rover]

wait what does this mean

[subtle bison]

we cant really make a "complete" one since the premise of gmod is a moddable sandbox

[near tartan]

Get as many maps to work as possible, remaster some of the most popular ones, like flat grass, big city, construct, so then you’ll have a HUGE map with not a lot of stuff, but it’ll look impressive because you have such a vast range of size remastered, even if it wasn’t that many textures

[subtle bison]

but would that really count within contest rules?

also how much would realistically be enough

the issue with gmod is the lack of coherency

[meager oar]

Well u lead da way

[subtle bison]

i have absolutely no idea where to start 😟

[near tartan]

I don’t see anything that’d break the rules

[near tartan]

As much as you can do in the time frame, map out a plan, find the most popular maps and who you want working on each one

[meager oar]

U can ask Nyle or Kim if a game like Gmod is eligible

[subtle bison]

this would require a lot of community coordination

[near tartan]

Construct, the most famous gmod RTX map

[subtle bison]

yeah I've been planning to remaster construct

[jade edge]

That'll be probably the best thing to do

[subtle bison]

@modern quest would gmod be a eligible game for this contest?

[near tartan]

I mean they literally put it on the promotional material for the project

I doubt they’d do that if it wasn’t eligible

[jade edge]

They did, but considering specific of GMOD itself, the best thing you might win is Community Choice

[wispy crest]

we should win for being the most epic

[near tartan]

Maybe best use of rt?

[jade edge]

....maybe? I dunno

[near tartan]

🤷‍♂️

[wispy crest]

perhaps if we had hand made textures, not ai

like, handcrafted assets

or maybe even editing the maps in remix

instead of a wide net of quick assets, a tighter one of pristine assets

to really show off how remix can change everything

[near tartan]

That’s

Kinda the point

[lament quartz]

maybe

you guys could make an rtx gmod map

that showcases that

[wispy crest]

yeah but all we have rn is ai upscaled PBR materials

[lament quartz]

first made in gmod, then remade in remix

i could do this if yall want

i could make the gmod map

[meager oar]

and premade materials from polyhaven and ambientcg

[livid rapids]

And ported assets from other games

Also hi also what happened why the slowmode

[earnest yew]

1942 is what happened

[livid rapids]

Oh god

[weak ermine]

are u real freby fazdear?

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/the-fnaf-movie-gif-2037626696781875793

[weak ermine]

1987 is what happened

[earnest yew]

No...

[weak ermine]

NOOO ITS CAN'T BE

NOOOOO

[earnest yew]

this is prolly the only sever i'll have my face as my pfp in

so many creepy losers in other servers

[wispy crest]

did we get confirmation that gmod is eligable

[weak ermine]

u about freddy fazbear pfp?

[near tartan]

Thought it was 1984

[weak ermine]

nuh

is that a bite of 87

[weak ermine]

big ass brother

[modern quest]

i don't know enough about the rules to give any advice on it. just read over them yourself and see i guess

[keen rivet]

Can I just have the 50,000

[earnest yew]

can i have 5 dollars of it

[near tartan]

Do Xenthio's mirror mods still work?

I know the hashes are diffrent becasue of the gmod exe and things like that but were they ever updated?

[subtle bison]

we went back to the old hash system so yes they still work

[royal vortex]

this has no remixed assets by the way. I might ai upscale them, but for now this map runs at 30-20 fps on my computer; and i dont think it would do any better with PBR'd assets.

[subtle bison]

does it run the same with RT off?

[royal vortex]

nope, still 30 fps. huge map with over 1k lights

also i dont know how but i switched from the 32 bit to the 64 bit.

[subtle bison]

so yes it runs the same? it's more than likely an engine bottleneck as there is no culling in place

[royal vortex]

like in normal garrys mod? or that checkbox called "raytraced" i forgot what its called

[subtle bison]

the checkbox

[royal vortex]

yeah, same fps

felt more like found footage being 30 fps though lol.

[subtle bison]

pbr assets probably wont hurt your performance much more then

[royal vortex]

ah okay thank you.

[subtle bison]

no freaking way

[steel lark]

what?

[wispy crest]

I didn't know it was possible to get those particles to work

[steel lark]

cool 3d particles stuff

uh how do i get the hl2 rtx viewmodels again? it really didn't work for me, also some textures are still gray with hl2rtx

[subtle bison]

gotta download the workshop version

i dont think anyone has ported over the PBR textures tho

i havent done anything for hl2rtx demo textures either

[royal vortex]

how the-

[quasi blaze]

hey

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2538387266

does this addon work in gmod RTX remix yet?

[lapis delta]

like for a century

[subtle bison]

yes, its been working

[quasi blaze]

is there any videos for the addon i can look at?

i do wanna see it

[subtle bison]

no that i know, why not try it yourself?

[quasi blaze]

because i still have no good specs yet

i've been handling rent for my house well but i

often don't have a computer upgrade often

i have to handle my life activites and schedules too

[weak ermine]

why not lol

@willow fog give us an idea for the contest

[willow fog]

Nah. Psuedopolish has already won.

[subtle bison]

guh wdym

[willow fog]

#showcase message

Idk, bro's been on fire since the day he started

[willow fog]

Can I post that remix material in showcase?

I don't even know how I'd explain why I made it without explaining the blender toolkit

[subtle bison]

it wouldnt really make sense outside the tool since blender without the addon cant import the textures correctly anyway

i'd rather not show off the blender toolkit until its actually usable for most people as well

[willow fog]

Sounds good

[amber hare]

Do u know a mod for like poses?

[meager oar]

yea that guy or Xoxor or Tadpoles one of these 3 will probably win

also Welcome back

[meager oar]

why doesnt it wrk with hdri editor

[willow fog]

Because glass doesn't work with indirect lighting.

[subtle bison]

me when i respect the runtime/toolkit's material definitions
(it fixes all of my texture bugs)
no freaking way, insane /s 🙀

can finally export more than 1 texture and meshes wont share it 💀

[lament quartz]

is this the blender tool? or wdym

[subtle bison]

ya

polishing up some bugs so i can push a test build for some peeps to try

i need feedback bad

[lament quartz]

Ooo ooo ooo can I be a tester plsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplspls

!!!!!!

[subtle bison]

yea i already had u and uncle on the list

[lament quartz]

Peak

I've been looking forward to this for..... as long as I've been goofing off with the one python file you gave me

[subtle bison]

i dont really have a date when im gonna push this but hopefully i got some time this week to figure out something

[lament quartz]

Yeah

[steel lark]

i want to playtest too

linux playtester?

[subtle bison]

it relies on some windows exe deps, so if it runs in wine it might work

https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=40923

[subtle bison]

this took way longer than it should, but we now have texture replacements

[lament quartz]

hooray

[willow fog]

Oh yeah

I should finish this node

[lament quartz]

Me when I don't have to look around the entire level just to find where it decided to place my sphere light (it sent it 1000 units out)

[near tartan]

Might as well just make the textures emissive

Oh wait

That already exists

[subtle bison]

yeah that never works for maps that dont actually have them lit 💀

[near tartan]

Xeniths mod sure works

[subtle bison]

i didnt say about it working, i meant in practicality

[near tartan]

Ohh

You did kinda say working though, in fairness

[subtle bison]

if a map has a bunch of these light fixtures with no lights, having them emissive just ruins the intentional look

so either use unique models or just make area lights

or both

[near tartan]

Might as well just switch to your blender toolkit for lights

Looks SO much easier to align

[subtle bison]

official toolkit would be fine if they could make the whole adjusting part of assets more responsive, and chock full of keyboard shortcuts

my previous background in blender makes iterating remix mods so much quicker here

lol

[wispy crest]

wizardry

[lament quartz]

I wonder does the blob/meatball mesh work?

[winter radish]

I actually understand how to use blender better than the toolkit 😭

(I have used blender before)

[weak ermine]

blender's mod

[lapis delta]

[willow fog]

Me when I don't know about the 3d cursor OR the camera centering hotkey

[lament quartz]

In the nvidia toolkit?

[willow fog]

Who uses that??

[lament quartz]

I was talking about how the toolkit sends the light all the way to the moon when you add one

[willow fog]

🥱

[subtle bison]

wdym

[willow fog]

Huh

[hasty sonnet]

that looks way fucking simpler actually

i know blender like the back of my hand

[willow fog]

Blender is the back of my hand

[hasty sonnet]

blend your hand so we dont have to see you type ever again

[weak ermine]

bro is back

[willow fog]

Perchance

[lament quartz]

Bro is back, ill give it 2 weeks

!!!!

[willow fog]

Generous

[lament quartz]

Yeah

[meager oar]

Chad

[subtle bison]

probably, anything will work as long as it's converted to a mesh before export

[lament quartz]

I see

[oblique hollow]

Can you connect to multiplayer servers with this?

[oblique hollow]

I only ask because i want to try a darkrp server with it on

[subtle bison]

yeah but a lot of fixes that rely on lua wont be active so it will not be a great experience

this may change with the future if we can inject everything externally but that's not something that is being worked on at the moment

[oblique hollow]

How easy is it to set up now, it's just for a few promo photos

[subtle bison]

for mp or just gmod rtx itself?

[oblique hollow]

mp

I doubt the server will even work tbh

[subtle bison]

there isnt any extra steps for mp, just install gmod rtx using the pinned guide and see what the game looks like on the server

[weak ermine]

uhh what about patched dlls?

[subtle bison]

gmod doesnt fully use vac so joining servers has no issues

[weak ermine]

"bro still dont fix mp part of rtx fixes"

[subtle bison]

because its a lot harder lol

it will come eventually but its not a priority

[oblique hollow]

thats the server normally ill try and get in with RTX remix

[subtle bison]

if you're only getting 68fps without the remix mod, i cant imagine what it is with remix

im assuming its entirely a engine bottleneck

RP maps, especially with a lot of entities is rough

[oblique hollow]

Yea

i have a 4090 13900k

[wispy crest]

remix is bullying source

to its knees

[subtle bison]

cpu and gpu doesnt really matter much in engine bound situations

since culling is entirely removed, the game is gonna suffer lol

[oblique hollow]

the map seems to be split into sections

im quite curious how this server did its map

[subtle bison]

its still all rendered at once unfortunately

[subtle bison]

its not even remix 💀

[wispy crest]

to quote Eli Vance, "It wasn't meant to do this in the first place"

[subtle bison]

if you had these culling patches without remix, you'd still have the same perf issues

and there is no magic way to workaround this without killing the engine performance-wise

[wispy crest]

area portals

[subtle bison]

would be nice if we could somehow maintain areaportal functionality with culling patches 😭

[oblique hollow]

Eh if i can connect at some point ill give it a try

[subtle bison]

what the fuck is cycles doing

amd can you please add working gpu accel for cycles

[willow fog]

It's trying to communicate, cr

[subtle bison]

apparently so lmfao

i wonder if this is just a blender 4.0.2 bug

im planning to update to the latest but there is a lot of USD library differences on 4.3+

[livid rapids]

USD crop cycles

[wispy crest]

El diablo

[subtle bison]

first major edit with the blender toolkit, did some emissive replacements to gmall, also re-did another ver with new lights

tool is almost usable enough to push a test release

[lament quartz]

yipee

[subtle bison]
