Garry's Mod

[weak ermine]

i asked u to dont ping me bro

[hasty sonnet]

using gmod rtx for gmods original purpose

[willow fog]

im sorry bro

[subtle bison]

who ate the frontal lobe of ur physgun

[hasty sonnet]

model bug

i cant fix it in rtx remix so im out of luck

[subtle bison]

aint it those bugged hl2rtx viewmodels from the workshop

do they look the same with RT off

[hasty sonnet]

idk

ye

[subtle bison]

ok not a remix bug then

[hasty sonnet]

i imported them into rtx remix

ofc its not a remix bug dumbass

[subtle bison]

nah aint no way you did a skinned mesh replacement

obviously you did the materials

[hasty sonnet]

no i used the workshop

the only time i imported every normal roughness bullshit from the workshop was for that melon

see this?

i am very sure i can import in the original textures to remix (the normals roughness etc)

[subtle bison]

ye if the UVs are the same

i had some luck with a helldiver model from last year

[hasty sonnet]

omfg its this bs when rtx.io goes to false and the game crashes

@subtle bison whenever i make a capture everything is sideways in remix

like omniverse

[lament quartz]

z up moment

[subtle bison]

ye

idk what rtx.conf ur using but the compat mod already has this set

[hasty sonnet]

i prob have a clean rtx.conf

very immaculate ahhh

too many textures

[near tartan]

Why does the option even exist, I realistically don’t see anyone using it

Or atleast can’t think of anything you can use it for

[subtle bison]

so captures dont import sideways 💀

[near tartan]

Ahhh

That makes sense

Didn’t think abt it like that

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison where the fuck are the textures

[subtle bison]

when the texture is not marked as decal 🙀

[hasty sonnet]

man i cant find the texture

[lament quartz]

why does it look like a 2017 EU4 grundge game

[hasty sonnet]

i still marked it as a decal

[subtle bison]

oh enable map render fixes in the spawn menu

[hasty sonnet]

fake caustics is crazy bro

https://youtu.be/aLZun0gxXII

[subtle bison]

ye there is this 1/10 chance the game will be "frozen" when opening it, even if it actually isnt

i got no idea why that happens lol

[hasty sonnet]

they should put microsoft at gunpoint and make them use rtx.io for everything

[subtle bison]

what does this have to do with rtxio 💀

[hasty sonnet]

do you really think this is a hl2 rtx assets like actually licensed by the team

[winter radish]

Microsoft has nothing to do with RTXIO 💀

Correction: Microsoft doesn’t control RTXIO implementations

[hasty sonnet]

the entire meaning is, i want everything to load faster

[subtle bison]

@willow fog interested in making a aperture translucent node?

[willow fog]

Shore

[hasty sonnet]

Harlotte

[lament quartz]

why is everyone always so toxic in this channel

[subtle bison]

fr 💔

[subtle bison]

guh

wait im also in this server wtf

[lament quartz]

its origionaly called pisscord

[subtle bison]

oh right

[wispy crest]

lol

[hasty sonnet]

wild

[subtle bison]

not sure if the offical toolkit can do this but multiple capture loading 🤤

[willow fog]

It sure can't

[wispy crest]

CR is going to fall out of a window

by nvidia agents

[willow fog]

We must protect cr

Because I don't even have the money to buy one month of Gemini

[subtle bison]

even if you had infinite money with any LLM, getting exactly what you want out of it is still nigh impossible lol. I have spent more time making implementation plans and UI mockups than the actual coding

the blender toolkit is meant to leverage the strengths of blender and have a KISS principle of exporting to remix

i really want the USD, ingesting, and remix specifics out of the way of the user lol

[meager oar]

damn u finding a wife?

[subtle bison]

yuh

[wispy crest]

gmod in 2014

[subtle bison]

this will be source engine in 2014

[subtle bison]

distant light support ☺️

[lament quartz]

yoo

[subtle bison]

adjusting these in blender is so much easier than the toolkit holy

i remember spending like 20 minutes in the toolkit for portal 2 just to get the sun to look correct
meanwhile Shift + T

[willow fog]

Blender toolkit JUST CAN'T stop winning

[lament quartz]

[subtle bison]

ok why cant eevee load more than 128 lights

[livid rapids]

haven't tested this in a whil but damn does transformer dlaa look very close to non RR dlaa

very much improved to cnn where a lot of detail was lost

[lament quartz]

its eevee

[subtle bison]

literally it wont render any of them if its more than that

i thought my importer was bugged when i saw lights not doing anything

ugh amd fix your gpu cycles renderer PLEASE

[lament quartz]

whats the limit of lights in cycle

[subtle bison]

infinite

[lament quartz]

wow

ok but Nishita support when

[subtle bison]

wha

wha dat

[lament quartz]

you dont know?

[subtle bison]

nop

this?
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/render/shader_nodes/textures/sky.html

[lament quartz]

yeah

[subtle bison]

hmm i wonder how that would be implemented

[lament quartz]

wow

video lag

[subtle bison]

so is this just gmod HDRI but blender lmfao

[lament quartz]

and custom "fallback" light esc sunrays that are very easy to handle

[subtle bison]

sweet mother of jesus

rip my cpu but wowee

[lament quartz]

now you get it

[subtle bison]

i wonder if I can bake it into a HDRI mesh or something lmao

per-level HDRIs

[lament quartz]

woudl be cool

[willow fog]

You probably can

with the 360 camera

[lament quartz]

its my favourite shit to turn into the fucking void

[subtle bison]

they're fucking dead

😱

[lament quartz]

yeah

turns out there isnt any food in the void

[livid rapids]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3475981969& has anyone messed with this

[subtle bison]

what the fuck

i was thinking of something like this a while ago

[subtle bison]

import custom meshes with collision models 😋

[lament quartz]

add colission to models???? isnt that a tool already

[subtle bison]

like i mean remix meshes with collision

[lament quartz]

honestly would be cool

[subtle bison]

yea its definitely up on my priority list

[lament quartz]

because theres alot of things id do with remix colissions

[willow fog]

There you go. Easy custom skybox baking

[subtle bison]

oh right speaking of skybox replacements

you can select the skybox in blender 🤭

i wonder if i can replace the textures, the toolkit couldnt do this

[lament quartz]

YES

https://tenor.com/view/meme-bob-esponja-gif-2904459546447199840

pfft

[subtle bison]

[lament quartz]

NO SHOT

I need this asap this would be useful as shit greah!!!!!!

[subtle bison]

@willow fog rq can u send a baked 32-bit exr of that skybox

im gonna fold it so i can import it ingame

[willow fog]

ok

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/wesker-albert-albert-wesker-resident-evil-resident-evil-4-gif-5143688443782660001

oh its a different vid

nvm

[willow fog]

What should be the color space be?

[subtle bison]

uhh

rec.2020?

whatever its actually meant to be

[willow fog]

well, I exported rec 2020

[subtle bison]

🤤

[lament quartz]

[livid rapids]

texture's buggy but it works

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3486105132

[weak ermine]

why this not gonna work

[lament quartz]

its calling me like the fuckin goblin mask (for reference i used to be named mocha on here)

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/green-goblin-willem-dafoe-dancing-yoinky-sploinky-that-yoinky-sploinky-gif-24692258

[lament quartz]

I truley am home now

also how would i go about mounting black mesa to gmod

[compact blaze]

Protogen skin omg

[lament quartz]

yes

[compact blaze]

Same exact one I used back in 2023 damn Daniel

[lament quartz]

does anyone know

[subtle bison]

does gmod not support it guh

[lament quartz]

I dont see a natural mount for it in the games tab

[subtle bison]

i wonder why

looks like you can manually define it here

GarrysMod\garrysmod\cfg\mount.cfg

[lament quartz]

alr

peak

[subtle bison]

it worked?

i didnt expect NPCs to work wtf

[lament quartz]

yeah

but quite a few maps have vertex explosions

[subtle bison]

yay

😭

[subtle bison]

he has no words 🙀

(literally)

[lament quartz]

i dont know why he doesnt que any audio

[subtle bison]

probably a missing scenes vcd?

idk bm has a lot of custom engine stuff too

[subtle bison]

these vertex explosions look a lot like the 3dsky ones

im guessing its a dual-camera related thing

[lament quartz]

i see

[subtle bison]

i wonder if its a remix regression, ik they didnt exist at some point

[lament quartz]

no stability either :.

[subtle bison]

ye there isnt any at all in gmod when the custom render stuff got removed

i added a anchor system in its place so that should solve that

[lament quartz]

i see

i was also hoping to get a glimpse of rtx water but

[subtle bison]

guh do they use a custom water material

the water replacer addon looks for water in the texture name, and if thats not found, then it finds anything with a water material

[lament quartz]

they do

it found the water here tho

[subtle bison]

maybe its not used everywhere

hmm i dont have NPCs

lol

[lament quartz]

volumetrics tho 🤤

[lament quartz]

I dont either besides some maps or pre rendered npcs

[subtle bison]

pre-rendered

hmm maybe they're dynamic props?

the gman at his lonesome

wonder if someone can make some sort of lua port of the bms entities that work with the maps

like that one person did for portal 2

[subtle bison]

we've got hostiles kills my fps lol

fully engine bottlenecked

looks very pretty

[lament quartz]

I SEE THE LIGHT

[subtle bison]

water seems to work here too

[lament quartz]

water definetally works here 🤤

imagine an hdri here, no, 2 hdris here

[subtle bison]

what is the map name

[lament quartz]

smh imagine not knowing the chapter act and part a b or c of the map

[subtle bison]

ik its residue processing at least?

idk im about to find out lmao

bm_c2a4a lfg

[lament quartz]

lol

[subtle bison]

holy shit 18fps

[lament quartz]

yeah

[subtle bison]

looks like early ue5 demos if you squint enough

hdri my beloved

[lament quartz]

now imagine actual black mesa working

[subtle bison]

didnt someone pay xoxor4d to start working on it?

it got the steam version working in shader mode, but it looked like ass

[lament quartz]

yeah

but its a split between 2 games for his paymenrt

[subtle bison]

😭

[lament quartz]

so if he doesnt do bm, you know damn well what ill choose next

[lament quartz]

i already suggested stanley parable next (even tho i only own ultra delux 🥲 )

[earnest yew]

eevee is actually so fucking good but bad

its embarassing

you gotta use a proximity light addon

its so aids

[half viper]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3485969414&searchtext=

im curious how this would look

[subtle bison]

lets find out

it freezes the game when u spawn it lol

[subtle bison]

definitely not rtx related, but i have been working on my own face tracking binary module for gmod

ik there are existing addons that do this, but none are based on this
https://github.com/emilianavt/OpenSeeFace

[earnest yew]

kinect 2.0

[subtle bison]

real

matching the raw facecap data with source engines is so painful 😭
smiling causes the face to pucker sideways which i guess is some kind of cordinate transform issue

eyes work perfectly fine tho

[subtle bison]

it is becoming sentient

[hasty sonnet]

when hdri transformer fix

[subtle bison]

i dont use nvidia anymore so

[hasty sonnet]

i could try resolving it with your help

[subtle bison]

the broken ones probably need to be rexported using the custom hdri guide on the hdri github repo

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison

[livid rapids]

shit makes me want to do some weapons again

[lament quartz]

suprisingly all the cutscenes have some form of vertex explosion except this one

[lament quartz]

I think i found something that fixes the campaign for gmod

maybe

and definetally

[subtle bison]

no freaking way

good sign so far 🤓

poor barney

[lament quartz]

[subtle bison]

lol wrong chapter title

[lament quartz]

red letter day

I see what the error is

we also have to mount the origional source mod i think

[subtle bison]

rip

[jade surge]

so I noticed that there is an installer now, tried using it and immediately I have some issues, looking in the .trex folder this config file just isnt present

[wispy crest]

sus

[subtle bison]

try using the x64 version of the game, you dont have to deal with the bridge

though i think there are a few folks here using x32 without that issue

could try updating drivers and stuff, its not a game issue

[jade surge]

oh true, I forgot this was all meant to be done on the 64x branch now

[subtle bison]

nah both are supported now, they share the same patches and stuff

you could also try making a bridge.conf like it says and set a high limit

it might work

[jade surge]

cool, still gonna move up to see if that helps, the mod that caused the error I know worked before

what got me intreagued was someone showing it not breaking nearly as badly as it did for me, and I wanted to mess with it again

[subtle bison]

if you're going to switch to x64, nuke everything but the launcher

[jade surge]

when I last tried this all sorts of props were just flat out invisible

also still awaiting the day I can use nestor and not have most the props in the map be invisible

from what I've been told if a prop is invisible though, its just source dying

[subtle bison]

its usually down to a vertex format bug, I think those have largely been fixed. If a prop isnt showing and there isnt any vertex errors in the console, it just means its not being lit by the engine which means remix cant see it

[jade surge]

aaaah

I know nestor is kinda flat with lighting mainly cause it uses ambient light, so I guess if the console isnt throwing errors then its a map maker issue

[jade surge]

well this still happens a whole lot in the tardis for me

if I use "add light to texture" why is it orange?

[earnest yew]

im getting chipotle rn

[subtle bison]

just the default color, you can adjust it in the remix menu, dont remember the exact spot tho

[subtle bison]

yea something about the models this addon uses, fixed function source does not like

[jade surge]

god the nural radiance cache is odd, I encountered a few scenarios where it felt almost too bright, and was significantly so more than the other methods, but was also fluctuating in light values as if it couldnt decide what brightness to be at

[keen rivet]

default gmod lamps

[subtle bison]

like the ones you spawn?

[weak ermine]

ye

[subtle bison]

guh

it could be a map-based thing. try spawning them on flatgrass and see if the same thing happens

we cant control prop fade unfortunately if that's the case

[weak ermine]

flatgrass wheres i have grass ban:trollface:

oh wait

im dumbass

why this lights still working if brightness 0

well, this is skill issue, not bug

idk why but i love this shit

[subtle bison]

beginning work on a new paradigm

@keen rivet

if I can start hooking the right stuff, this is going to be changing a lot of things

including MP support for servers that dont have the compat mod addon

[lament quartz]

Yoooo

[earnest yew]

fuck vac

ON GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[subtle bison]

🔥

remix isnt injected but i have hooked some of the render functions

cannot wait to hook the clientside lua stuff

that will unlock so many possibilities

(this is what most gmod cheats do lmao)

[quasi blaze]

but is that bannable though?

[subtle bison]

on the servers themselves, but not VAC

[quasi blaze]

why not VAC?

[subtle bison]

because gmod doesnt use it

we already modify DLLs and there is no sigature checks being hit like you would see in tf2 or css

so if you're doing sandbox with friends and not some op AF darkrp server with their own AC, you'll be fine

i think @earnest yew has done a lot of darkrp stuff with gmod rtx right?

[onyx ridge]

hi doing my popping in again what is this
(also since when was there a slowmode here)

[earnest yew]

YES

caps. whats up

[subtle bison]

did u ever get banned from any servers

[earnest yew]

no

[subtle bison]

yipeee

[earnest yew]

i cheat on gmod alot anyways and like 99.99% of servers dont use any sort of anticheat

[subtle bison]

ok even better lmfao

[earnest yew]

lol

[earnest yew]

most servers have some insane ui mods that cause the game to freak the fuck out and not even load in anyways

but it would be nice to have more multiplayer shiz

[subtle bison]

can they just stick to non-cursed derma/vgui elements 😭

fr that was one of my main reasons for quitting darkrp

i fought that shit so much

[earnest yew]

idk man shits crazy

ive tried like 30 different servers and like 3 worked lol

ttt was pretty good but garnetgaming was the only darkrp to work

[subtle bison]

xoxor4d-ifying gmod

[weak ermine]

imagine admin screenshoted ur game and seeing ultra rtx graphics with pbr and emissions

[earnest yew]

ive done that before

nice reshade 🤓

[weak ermine]

[onyx ridge]

this is like telling me you're valve-ifying fortnite (i have no idea what this means)

[weak ermine]

[onyx ridge]

endless... possibilities?

[earnest yew]

Endless Possibility [Live] 30th Anniversary Symphony

[onyx ridge]

anyway i am going to assume this means you're modifying garry's mod to be based on portal 2's codebase and include portals

[subtle bison]

it does not mean that

🙂

[onyx ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/ronald-mcdonald-mcdonalds-thumbs-down-hell-no-wtf-gif-7529340578706914039

[subtle bison]

im modifying the game to work with remix in a way that allows us to fix a bunch of known issues

no more dx70 bs

[weak ermine]

imagine slendytubbies map with 60 fps

[earnest yew]

can someone like

[weak ermine]

instead of 2

[earnest yew]

fix tf2

[onyx ridge]

so we went from
lua addon > binary addon > code hooking/modification

[subtle bison]

pay xoxor4d 🙂

[subtle bison]

yes i went insane

[earnest yew]

how much money does that man need

[weak ermine]

jessica and jessica writing...

[subtle bison]

i want to fix all gmod rtx problems, i cant help it

[earnest yew]

im the better one

im sexy and awesome

[subtle bison]

yall fight for it

[weak ermine]

bruh

[onyx ridge]

i am proud of you catrappa i vaguely remember you being terrified of doing binary addon stuff

[subtle bison]

#1116089843479498782 message

gmod getting the xoxor4d treatment

[lament quartz]

So wait is this a client side patch

[weak ermine]

good night all

[lament quartz]

Or what

[subtle bison]

yep, fully injecting into the game, this would allow us to inject our binary module (for MP) and do lots of other stuff

could also move culling patches to it n stuff

anything is possible

[lament quartz]

Cool

Gmod multi-player dark rp cheats

[earnest yew]

if you use remix to genuinley cheat i think you should like get a job or some shit

this applies to the people who think remix is cheating in tf2 too

[weak ermine]

to play normally with remix u already need normal gpu

=> u already have job

[subtle bison]

it actually takes more effort to cheat with remix rather than just getting a cheat client

[lament quartz]

Lol

[weak ermine]

[weak ermine]

bruh gif

[keen rivet]

ooooo

[keen rivet]

VAC is basically non existant on gmod

[earnest yew]

server anticheat

is what he means

[subtle bison]

wow i found a static global d3d9 device signature, this means rtx lights might be able to come back lol

source would constantly corrupt the one I was using in the binary module causing the game to crash

[wispy crest]

but it says vac secured, is it a lie?

[subtle bison]

yea

[keen rivet]

What!!

[livid rapids]

put up that kofi bro we NEED to pay you

[keen rivet]

used a gmod rtx screenshot as a scene in whisk to create this video pretty damn cool

uhhh the gif didn't work

real

the concrete beam lmao

[weak ermine]

clouds

[compact blaze]

Ya it’d be very very weird if a game all about modding, restricts modding through vac lol

[compact blaze]

Ermmmmmm remix can give a competitive advantogey with ermmm reflecshons and lighting up le dark spaces

(I would like to say even though I’m making it clear by the way I speak that I’m not serious I’m still scared it’s coming off I am serious, so I’ll add this, no I’m not serious)

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison will my gpu jump out of my case and try to strangle me to death?

[subtle bison]

what

[subtle bison]

144p puddles

[lament quartz]

@subtle bison do you think we will be able to edit the map itself like deleting mesh data with your blender mod

[subtle bison]

that is possible with remix itself by setting the prim reference to none, but unfortunately gmod does not have stable geometry

so you would need to rebake the level geometry first (export captured meshes), disable world rendering, and then modify it

[lament quartz]

(this would be in rtcws case which does have stable geo)

[subtle bison]

oh then yea its as simple as setting the reference as none 😊

i can add a button for it

[lament quartz]

cool cool

would be cool

because

j.a.c.k is a pain in the fucking ass

[subtle bison]

guh

[lament quartz]

I have everything referenced to no avail lol

[subtle bison]

wtf this is literally hammer lmfao

[lament quartz]

its hammer for q3 games

except it costs money and is a peice of shit

so kinda like adobe

[modern quest]

worse because it doesn't even work right

[lament quartz]

yeah

literally EVERY model and EVERY texture, EVERY .shader file is referenced and linked but it still fucks up

[modern quest]

i have a question @lament quartz

[lament quartz]

whats up

(remember this is the gmod thread tho)

[modern quest]

https://icculus.org/gtkradiant/downloads.html

why don't you just use this?

it has RTCW support

[hasty sonnet]

how my PC sounds when i use full res in rtx remix

yes if you listen closely

[lament quartz]

same issues+15 fps joy

[hasty sonnet]

you can hear loud ass engine noises which is abnormal since water cool

[lament quartz]

jack is built off radiant

[modern quest]

you used 1.4.0?

hmm okay 😦

[lament quartz]

ill try 1.4

[modern quest]

ah wait nvm use latest. it has the proper gamepack included

[runic gale]

hmm

Pretty sure it’s just the filter, lol

You can make anything look different with the right colors

Could make P2 RTX photorealistic

[subtle bison]

finally, map baking

p2-rtx about to get a perf boost

[winter radish]

[willow fog]

@subtle bison

I have an idea foe the blender toolkit

in-app baking from normal to octa

When you press convert, it'll spawn a flat plane with the same aspect ratio as your texture and then bake with the correct settings. Should be straightforward ( )

[subtle bison]

i dont even know what a octa normal would be used for
ill do it later down the line

i just wanna get this shit out the door 😭

@subtle bison add a feature where every time you open the launcher it checks for updates

[past notch]

@subtle bison how are you guys doing skies in Gmod? making 'em yourself or using some HDRIs from online?

[subtle bison]

downloading from online like polyhaven

[past notch]

ah, thanks 👍

[faint sapphire]

Is it not worth converting the original HDR skyboxes to hdri? It's pretty simple to do using https://github.com/rob5300/VTFHDRCubeToEqi or https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/No_vtf

[thorny crag]

what addon is this

i dont remember seeing cs2 knives in the workshop

[weak ermine]

its just kukri with materials ported from cs2

[thorny crag]

You replaced the smd of a knife mod or smth?

Or is there a kukri knife in the workshop somewhere lmao

[weak ermine]

in workshop lol

[past notch]

we have done this as placeholders, but the converted skybox doesn't have the same fidelity as the rest of our materials

[subtle bison]

yeah i imagine you'd have to recreate them in a higher bit depth (16/32-bit)

are yall using hdri skyboxes in the same way gmod does? ours emit light on their own without any placed lights

[compact blaze]

Will you ever give us insight on how you’ll be able to faithfully recreate those iconic skyboxes

[past notch]

yeah, we are. that's why we had to make temp HDRI'd versions of the originals, since proper relighting could not take place without them

[compact blaze]

Like will you virtually create it instead or try get an outside skybox picture close enough to the original

[past notch]

the flow right now is already worked out as "use a plugin like PureSky Pro and spend ages matching light, cloud cover, moon/sun placement, etc", but it's just time consuming and we need more manpower on it

we have proof of concepts indicating we can get extremely faithful results this way, but more hands are needed to cover all skyboxes across the whole game

[compact blaze]

Ah ok nice

Hope ur able to keep that retro 2000s feel to the skyboxes keeping a similar feel to the cameras that were used to capture the skyboxes

[wispy crest]

I feel like if you are looking for the "retro 2000s feel"

you can just go play the original game

[hasty sonnet]

some sort of nvg effect

[near tartan]

Strong intensity on the pistol emissive there

[hasty sonnet]

i like my tritium going BRRRRRRRRR

[near tartan]

That’s prob the hl2 RTX pistol, not your own custom made one, forgot you can move those over, if it’s your own, shit man, it looks rlly good

[hasty sonnet]

its out on moddb, its basically a addon using the hl2 rtx pistol port to norm gmod but then i processed it through remix

also the hl2 rtx mounting system doesnt work for weapons and npcs

[near tartan]

Mhm

Yeah all I was sure of was CR I think had a mod that ported all of the assets over, never tested it myself to see what it does

[hasty sonnet]

its baked into the launcher

[near tartan]

Ahh it was Xenith who did it

[near tartan]

#1116089843479498782 message

They got a way

[hasty sonnet]

you gotta first do that then mount it on the launcher

[near tartan]

Mhm

[hasty sonnet]

its because we arent going to fucking copy a 90+gb file

its better to make a shortcut

[near tartan]

Clearly

Also, iirc, gmod changed there exe so that changed the hashes, so you couldn’t just drop the mod in

[hasty sonnet]

people havent rehashed their shit yet

[near tartan]

🤷‍♂️

I don’t do much with gmod RTX myself

So

[subtle bison]

this got reversed, we are using the old hash system
also: @hasty sonnet

[near tartan]

🫠

This feels like tryna keep up with tariffs

lol

[subtle bison]

the change was made like 2 months ago whenever hl2rtx came out

[near tartan]

Mhm

[subtle bison]

because it uses the old hash system and we want to be compatible with it

[near tartan]

Mhm

So do you still gotta mount the launcher?

[subtle bison]

wha

[hasty sonnet]

i think he has 0 iq CR

we gotta send him to the NVIDIA psych ward

[subtle bison]

i mean he said he barely touched gmod rtx so its understandable

[near tartan]

#1116089843479498782 message

I’m guessing not

[near tartan]

lol

[subtle bison]

still dont understand what you're getting at

[hasty sonnet]

also when will we fix this stupid crash issue thats related to rtx.io

its genuienly pissing me off

[subtle bison]

we dont use rtxio?

what are u talking about

[hasty sonnet]

i have to go into config and write

rtx.io = True

[subtle bison]

arent you using some custom config or something?

or was that someone else

[modern quest]

rtxio isn't usable without packaging the mod files in the format for it though, so this shouldn't be changing anything

[near tartan]

To connect hl2 RTX assets to gmod, I have only skimmed the list of steps, but it mentions “Mount Half Life 2:RTX in the Garry’s Mod RTX Launcher” if the hash system is switch back, is that step still required, I doubt I’m gonna even attempt this, as I barely play gmod. But is the step still necessary, or am I not understanding the meaning of “mounting” here

[subtle bison]

the mounting steps for the launcher are required no matter the hashing system. But it only works for the old hash system which the mod defaults to. So the user only needs to follow that github guide to get hl2rtx assets working

[near tartan]

Mhm

So it was made for the old hashing system, but it defaults when you set up the mod to port the assets this way

Got it

[subtle bison]

remix defaults to a new system, but the rtx.conf that comes with this compatibility mod switches it back

so if i didnt tell you any of this information and you didnt know anything about hashing systems and you mounted hl2rtx in the launcher using the guide, it would "just work"

[wispy crest]

sometimes it doesn't work

[near tartan]

Mhm

[near tartan]

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

[subtle bison]

well its demo assets so yes a lot of grey shit shows up because they left in references that dont have any assets

eventually i will fix it in the launcher but i'd rather just wait for the full mod to come out because then i wont have to fix it

[near tartan]

Dw, I’ll fix it and then send the build

Shouldn’t be “too” hard

[subtle bison]

i sent the fixed usda's here a while ago

it fixes all of the textures but some models are still invisible

its a manual process but it works

[near tartan]

Figures

[subtle bison]

extract the contents here and replace everything, then mount hl2rtx in the launcher
you will have to remove other remix mods unless you are up for extracting assets that workarounds rtxio ⬇️

how did u got shadows in ur balls

mine balls dont have shadows

[meager oar]

well the balls get shadows when the sunlight is from within the skybox instead of a directional light

ur using the mod from jason right?

the guy who made the balls replacements?

okay chat, what kind of cursed stuff happened in here today so far?

[amber hare]

cuz im using the same thing and it just doesnt have shadows

[amber hare]

idk im not reading 5 days worth of yapping

[meager oar]

its not my conf basically i made it so that the sun in the skybox castes sunlight instead of the default directional light thats why the colored shadows wrk

fucking discord, how you look at @CR and not make a tag ... okay then

@subtle bison

[subtle bison]

@upbeat jewel you can find more info here: #1377738156886982777 message

[livid rapids]

@subtle bison It'd be wonderful if you took a look at why texture replacements from mwb don't load in remix

For example

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2927193483
These blueprints are attachments that load the same model, but replace their texture, they don't work

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2945973521
These are attachments but they're different models with their own textures, these do work

Also happens with this pistol, it has a "freeman" barrel that replaces the default slide's texture akin to a USP Match, remix doesn't even detect it
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3393597151

the "normal" blueprints just load a unique model like this

ATTACHMENT.Model = Model("models/viper/mw/attachments/attachment_vm_pi_mike9_barauto_v2.mdl")

While the texture replacers load the normal attachment model, then override the material like this

function ATTACHMENT:OverrideMaterial(path, mat)
    return path, "v13_"..mat
end

--lets you change weapon textures
function ATTACHMENT:OverrideWeaponMaterial(path, mat)
    return path, "v13_"..mat
end```

[jade surge]

I noticed the NRC can be very flickery at times, like it doesnt know how bright indirect light should be

this doesnt happen with ReSTIR

[subtle bison]

I think it happens because of unstable hashes? NRC in general is just very janky

especially if you move to different rooms with different lighting conditions quickly

[jade surge]

got it, so thats why ReSTIR is generally preferred here

[modern quest]

this is actually a problem in RTCW, even with stable hashes. indirect sampling has the same issue

ReSTIR is the only stable one

[subtle bison]

restir my beloved

even works on AMD ❤️

[compact blaze]

Bro why they even add nrc if it has such major issues

[jade surge]

I also know ReSTIR has better sampling without a denoiser, per sample noise is much lower, but someone told me that was a fluke and the NRC when denoised supposedly samples just as well, but tbh with RR on transformer all 3 produce really good results, off transformer they're all stable enough (I do also test ReSTIR with temporal reuse off for this stuff)

ReSTIR without temporal reuse is just better enough than importance sampling to warrant using it, its also infinitely more responsive than both ReSTIR with TR and NRC

[modern quest]

it's a huge improvement in the vast majority of cases IME

also you guys have been good, i'll remove slowmode

[subtle bison]

inb4 the thread blows up again

[jade surge]

I personally am just finding myself a bit more disappointed in the NRC, while it does appear to be less biased in many cases the prominent light retention/ghosting really hurt it for me

[compact blaze]

Really? I’ve never seen any positive difference other than nrc having faster response to sunlight changes due to using a base that’s simpler than restir (forgot the name)

[modern quest]

i showcased the improvements like 5 different times and i don't really want to do it again

but search the server and you'll find it

[jade surge]

also does anyone have like a mod pack for at least the base of gmod RTX for some basic asset enhancements?

[compact blaze]

Oh sry

[jade surge]

also I noticed in the Gmod RTX launcher it has its own asset mounting, do I just hit the checkbox and go or do I need to decompile the stuff from the other games in advance?

[subtle bison]

most of the rtx games like hl2rtx use rtxio which doesnt work correctly when more than 1 mod is mounted, you will need to follow the guide either pinned here or the hotlink in the launcher when you try to mount a game

[subtle bison]

i believe we include basic stuff for like water and mirrors but thats it, there might be some more on moddb

[weak ermine]

gunfight with friend

i fucking love the atmosphere

ill upload this useless piece of media

its just 30 minutes of domination on my noob friend on rainy map

[winter radish]

NRC also works on AMD but they be taking their time

[jade surge]

got it, guessing portal and portal prelude also use RTXIO?

[subtle bison]

yep

[jade surge]

going back to normal gmod I see it has normal maps of some kind and some form of roughness and metalic mapping, would it be possible to extract all that from the game and just apply the original maps in the remix editor without upscaling?

just wondering cause I know the AI can be iffy at times and it would make for an infinitely smaller mod file size

[subtle bison]

yea prob

[willow fog]

Pretty sure the best you can get from sors 1 is specular maps

[wispy crest]

source 1 has normals

[willow fog]

Yes

I was mainly talking about roughness

[jade surge]

some objects have metallic some dont, regardless depending on how remix handles it, its only an inversion away at most from being a "metalic" map of some kind, just to cover the basics

it wouldnt be that accurate but we dont need it to be for the sake of just having a basic mod that gives PBR to a large quantity of objects for only a few gigs

[lapis delta]

not only. when i checked nrc and sharc separately, nrc behaved the same as here, so this is generally a problem of nrc itself

[hasty sonnet]

when NRC is NRC'ing

[hasty sonnet]

now i made it look like we are looking through a nvg

[lament quartz]

Without the nv part

[compact blaze]

what is this again?

[lament quartz]

mmmmmmm engine limitations causing 10 fps

its so beutiful

[meager oar]

Which gpu u have that has almost 7gb vram

[upbeat jewel]

it has 8, its just how its reported there

since some is reserved outside the game

[compact blaze]

try beat the 3060 mobile with the base 6 gigs of vram

[lament quartz]

Its a 4060 8gb

Laptop gpu

Belove you me when I tell you im on a budget rn

Belive*

[compact blaze]

how does a 4060 laptop gpu and 4070ti desktop gpu have the SAME VRAM

💔

[lament quartz]

Because of nvidia

[meager oar]

hmm remix menu shows me having total 11588 Vram or something on ma 4070S

[lament quartz]

Thats because you have the 12 gb version id assume

[meager oar]

Nvidia has fetish for 8gb GPUs for some reason

[compact blaze]

unironically if someone finds a way to fully emulate cuda and the rtx features on amd with little compromise i'd insta switch to amd cause this just ain't it anymore chief, ik thats basically wishful thinking but im trying to say so much of the insane software here is always locked to nvidia so u like have to use nvidia y'know?

[meager oar]

Well there is only a 12gb 4070S in desktop

[lament quartz]

Same

[subtle bison]

😋

[compact blaze]

and with nvidia they have so much reach to force 3rd party software to always work best on cuda

not to mention they're the market leader too

basically uh

if nvidia was a person i'd fix them frfr

[meager oar]

yea 5060 and 5060ti are strong GPUs if u turn down the settings to medium in monster hunter they get 80 fps but in ultra Max with RT they get 20 fps due to vram limit while the 16gb 5060ti gets 55 fps

[lament quartz]

@subtle bison so what exactly is causing so much engine bottleneck for black mesa maps i am curious

If you aren't busy

[meager oar]

Tf2 maps aswell

[subtle bison]

the amount of entities being rendered at once

[lament quartz]

Oh

[subtle bison]

so really any map with a lot of stuff

[lament quartz]

And there isn't any entity culling?

[subtle bison]

nothing that would work well with RTX
with culling patches as well, that breaks PVS (potentially visiible system), so any optimization mods in the workshop dont work correctly either anymore

source can easily render all of this stuff at once, its just the entities themselves in the renderlist causing the engine to lock up

[compact blaze]

i really hope a massive youtuber sheds light on your project so people on other gpus know they can actually work on remix content without needing cuda, especially in the future when you're more finished with the project

[subtle bison]

so its just a code bottleneck tl;dr

[lament quartz]

Breh
