#

that is how i feel after adding agx

willow fog
subtle bison
#

ye its all gonna get merged into that repo or another one

#

dxvk-remix-forge or something lmao

runic gale
subtle bison
#

lol wtf causes that

#

mat_picmip 10 be like

runic gale
subtle bison
#

hmm i still see specular, so i guess its a remix texture streaming bug?

#

not a gmod rtx prob for sure

runic gale
#

turning off the sampler feedback on texture streaming just quickly fix

willow fog
#

Because pausing

#

agx and aces

runic gale
subtle bison
#

oh night hdri

willow fog
#

The dark menu background thing

subtle bison
#

bind r_drawvgui 1 and r_drawvgui 0 to different hotkeys, or do the bind toggle thing

#

lets u pause the game without UI

willow fog
#

hm

#

uhhhhWhat are your agx settings?

subtle bison
#

none, im using normal gmod rtx build

willow fog
#

ah

runic gale
subtle bison
#

i got no idea, its like part of the wall isnt blocking any light

#

but also this map has the 3d skybox right above the map so its just cursed in general

#

would need a hammer edit to fix its issues

runic gale
#

let me re-install hdri

#

still same problem

subtle bison
#

this isnt a hdri issue

#

this is a map issue

gm cr

#

We getting the uh

#

remix with the'

#

uhm. The uh

#

reshade

subtle bison
#

i had to put a pause in the remix integration stuff, couldnt figure out a way to get reshade to properly bind the 16-bit buffer

#

ill probably need to see how renodx does it

willow fog
#

aight

willow fog
#

Fuck yeah

subtle bison
#

chat it does not compile AS_pepeclapppp

willow fog
#

FUCK Yeah

subtle bison
#

will be fixed, i think i force merged some incorrect files lmao

#

i hate updating forks 😭

weak ermine
#

gmod uncompiled rtx

subtle bison
#

looks like the newest dxvk commit causes my game to crash immediately in my driver
@willow fog this may be a AMD specific issue so can u see if this dll crashes ur game

willow fog
#

Eating rn

subtle bison
#

ok yea this is a dxvk-remix issue itself, even using the action build crashes my game

#

yayy time to make a github issue

steel lark
#

uh so no agx?

subtle bison
#

well try the build 💀

#

it probably works fine for nvidia people

steel lark
#

oh alright

#

let me fricking reinstall steam then

subtle bison
#

omfg its a optiscaler issue

#

ye it works fine

weak ermine
steel lark
# subtle bison

oops sorry i'm back do i only need to download this and put it in win64?

subtle bison
#

i think its ultrakill gm construct

steel lark
#

ah perfect

subtle bison
#

kde user spotted

steel lark
#

my dad has participated in qtcon many times so

#

only fair to use kde you know

#

i didn't even know the library wasn't a web page

modern quest
#

well

#

it uses chromium framework, so it has web page elements. but it's not all a webpage

subtle bison
#

cef my absolute wretched

modern quest
#

yeah. store is really just a webpage

weak ermine
haughty goblet
#

Half of the apps I got installed are glorified web browsers

#

I love soydevs

subtle bison
#

launcher should automatically pick it up

steel lark
#

uh i can't seem to fix this artifact with agx

#

i'm pretty bad with these settings lol

#

wait what

subtle bison
#

how did it break like that 💀
it works fine for me with the stock tonemapping settings the compat mod comes with

steel lark
#

mine was already messed up

#

because i set it to work well with aces

#

but now it's borked

#

almost fixed it

subtle bison
#

maybe just copy mine?

weak ermine
#

huh

steel lark
#

i fixed it

#

uhh actually agx settings were affecting it

#

the tuning mode sucks because it doesn't actually show how the tonemapper itself will affect the image

#

someone pls fix

subtle bison
#

it was always borked

#

not that it was useful anyway

steel lark
subtle bison
#

ur rtx.conf is cursed, i think i remember what to remove to fix it

steel lark
#

uh disabling triangle culling fixed it

subtle bison
#

rtx.maxPrimsInMergedBLAS = 50000
rtx.numFramesToKeepBLAS = 1
rtx.minPrimsInDynamicBLAS = 1000

#

also maybe switch to the newest compat mod rtx.conf :3

subtle bison
#

ye remove them

steel lark
#

i enabled minimize blas merging with triangle culling enabled and it works without deleting the world

#

agx looks gorgeous

modern quest
weak ermine
#

now i want to check pool and some night maps

subtle bison
modern quest
#

worth a shot at least

steel lark
#

me when i'm rich

subtle bison
#

skeleton implementation, but i think i can get it done

#

hopefully using the fidelityfx sdk wont be too much of a pain

#

no FSR 4?

subtle bison
#

there is no vulkan fsr4 implementation

#

amd hasnt released it yet

sonic widget
#

Would anyone be free on helping me setup the rtxlauncher for my Gmod idk what step I’m messing up on but most time I get an engine error or the game freezes in loading any map

hasty sonnet
#

successful people irl: gmod rtx
gmod rtx
gmod rtx
gmod rtx

subtle bison
sonic widget
#

What’s also weird is the launcher isn’t allowing me to enable RTX on inside the launcher

#

I’ve attempted using administrator and without it but the option is still greyed out

wispy crest
sonic widget
#

Ah okay gotcha

#

Should mention my mods are just gun mods cause I figured addons that change lighting or textures would conflict with the rtx launcher

#

With the xenitho rtx fixes and niknaks addon enabled still

#

Unless that addon is no longer needed now

subtle bison
#

what gpu do you have?

sonic widget
#

Rtx 5070 TI

wispy crest
#

50 series
it's over

sonic widget
#

Yeah I’m stumped even after doing a fresh install of gmod with no addons I still get the same issues

subtle bison
sonic widget
#

Indeed

#

Either that or I get a little box pop up saying engine error with an empty prompt

subtle bison
#

guh

#

maybe reinstall your vanilla gmod and then do a clean gmod rtx install

#

and maybe try the x64 branch of the game if not already

sonic widget
#

Alright I’ll try that right now

#

Okay so I download the remix,patches and fixes

subtle bison
#

so you're not using the quick install button in the main page of the launcher?

#

(it only shows if the launcher is in a empty directory, ideally not in the same place as your game)

sonic widget
#

The launcher is in the same place as my game

#

But it doesn’t do anything to the game when I launch through it

#

It only adds the rtx features after I download those patches for me

subtle bison
sonic widget
#

Unless I’m doing a step wrong I couldn’t really find any guide for the new 64bit launcher

subtle bison
#

but yeah dont put it in your game folder

sonic widget
#

Ah okay

subtle bison
#

gonna update them now lol

sonic widget
#

So I just place it a folder on its own or on my desktop than

subtle bison
#

yep

sonic widget
#

Gotcha thank you so much

subtle bison
#

and assuming your vanilla install still works, click quick install and it will do everything for you

sonic widget
#

Gotcha I’ll let you know if anything happens than

sonic widget
subtle bison
#

i think skurttys just made a copy of the game in a defined folder, where our launcher creates the installation wherever it's placed (by symlinking files), which was probably overwriting vanilla files when its placed in the same place as the vanilla game lol

sonic widget
#

Hey it works now

#

Huh

#

I assume my rtx menu shouldn’t be capped at 486mb of VM

#

Cause in hl2 remix it’s at 8600 something

weak ermine
#

looks like let choosing manually installation folder was a mistake

#

🥀

subtle bison
#

remix dynamically allocates whatever is available

sonic widget
#

Yeah ima restart my computer I’ve been at this for like an hour straight while playing Tarkov

#

Yeah my video memory usage is still capped

#

It says 1645/486 MB used up

#

But that can’t be right when on hl2 rtx my max is at 8000+

subtle bison
#

i think the wrong gpu might be allocated lol

#

does DLSS show as an option in the remix menu

sonic widget
#

It’s there but I can’t enable it

subtle bison
#

yeah remix might be using your integrated graphics

sonic widget
#

Ah gotcha my nivida setting I assume?

subtle bison
#

if you're using windows 11, it's here

sonic widget
#

Alright attempt 3

#

Dammit still at 486

subtle bison
#

are you using x64 or x32?

sonic widget
#

X64

subtle bison
#

ah ok, just checking as x32 has a different exe to add to that setting

#

can you send the remix log located here?

#

for your folder it would be ./rtx-remix/logs

sonic widget
#

sent you a FR just now

subtle bison
#

added the sdk and stuff, just trying to get it initialized correctly

sonic widget
#

been fun messing with the settings and fine tuning it as i go

#

also the shadows being on the rebar spikes is crazy to see

Good evening rtx gmod thread

Good evening Xenthio from rtx gmod thread

hasty sonnet
winter radish
weak ermine
#

not a gmod rtx issue

haughty goblet
#

I reckon it launches as-is, so it probably is

runic gale
#

only happens when before loading the map. or during loading it

weak ermine
#

in j:?

subtle bison
#

well it says out of space

#

is your disk full?

#

this map works fine on remix, I've tested it multiple times

hasty sonnet
#

not vram

upbeat jewel
#

windows also has a 260 character path name limitation, so if its trying to build some long path, it might be running out of string space for the path. that path looks really long

runic gale
#

guess try rename the addon folder

#

I’m so done with NVIDIA, I’m switching back to AMD, that RX 9060 XT is looking nice

winter radish
#

The drivers have been a nightmare 😭

subtle bison
#

i was very surprised to see how polished the RDNA4 drivers were on launch lol

#

except for 32-bit remix games but i think u got that issue to the right people

winter radish
winter radish
# subtle bison

Also, I feel like there should be a space between FSR and 3 or just FSR, idk why

#

But I feel like just FSR would work better because of FSR 3 and 4 sharing the same dll

subtle bison
#

ill polish up the UI once i get it working

#

the 50 series launch has been a disaster

winter radish
#

not even a single 12GB

subtle bison
#

gee i wonder why

winter radish
wispy crest
#

4070 still reigns supreme

weak ermine
subtle bison
#

16gb should be minimum even on a 60 series class card

#

for both vendors

winter radish
#

I suspect AMD will do the same with FSR Redstone

weak ermine
subtle bison
#

no

wispy crest
#

I do think that DLSS is superior to FSR

#

does FSR have a DLAA equvilant?

subtle bison
#

yes its called full resolution

winter radish
#

in DOOM Dark Ages, I use like 9GBs at 4K Maxed out

wispy crest
#

its doom

winter radish
subtle bison
subtle bison
#

for AI or 3D

wispy crest
#

what about that like, 60 series

subtle bison
#

16gb gddr6 isnt that expensive

winter radish
wispy crest
#

like the 6000 pro or whatever

winter radish
subtle bison
winter radish
subtle bison
#

there is no reason to do less on that series

winter radish
#

That's the FSR solution

wispy crest
#

DLAA is so yummy

#

wish more games supported it

subtle bison
#

you can always force it via a bunch of methods

winter radish
wispy crest
#

i can never figure out the overrides

#

ive tried nvidia profile inspector

#

also wtf happened to ansel or whatever

#

and freestyle

#

i feel like it doesnt work on any game i play, despite saying its supported on the website

subtle bison
#

i believe ansel required implementation on the dev's side to work, iirc its just freecam and a bunch of filters to take screenshots with?

#

its cool but i dont think its been maintained in a long time

wispy crest
#

#

good, i'd say about an RTX 5070 Ti when using XeSS 2?

meager oar
#

Damn your stronger then a 4070S in RT

subtle bison
#

yeah i can do full res 1080p in lots of maps and still be above 60fps

#

its crazy

meager oar
#

Only needs fsr4 and something equal to RR on Amds side

subtle bison
#

flatgrass gets like 300fps with DLSS quality iirc lmao

#

ye hopefully AMD's RR will be VK

meager oar
#

Yea when that comes AMDs gpus will be on ma radar again, last amd gpu i used was 580, was a beast still have it

subtle bison
#

I got used to no RR pretty quickly

#

you will still notice the lack of motion clarity when shadows move though lol

winter radish
meager oar
#

Yea that bothered me alot before RR was a thing so i dont think ill live without RR in remix 😅

meager oar
winter radish
subtle bison
#

🥲

#

me when i switched to AMD and couldnt use the toolkit

#

and here i am trying to get native FSR 3 lmao

winter radish

tough luck pal, You'll never get access to the RTX Tool

#

@subtle bison where do i get agx at btw

subtle bison
#

right now its in the gmod dxvk-remix repo, but the dll i sent here earlier doesnt have any gmod-specific changes which is probably preferrable
#1116089843479498782 message

lament quartz
#

is that one fully funcitonal? i thought there was issues with it

subtle bison
#

i think that is the fixed one

#

the fixed ver has the AgX Look Operator

lament quartz
subtle bison
#

did you replace the bridge.dll d3d9 by accident?

lament quartz
#

is that the one next to the exe?

subtle bison
#

next to the game exe yes

lament quartz
#

ah

#

yes, i may be stupid

subtle bison
#

lol all good

#

replace the d3d9.dll in .trex

lament quartz
#

whoopee i love this error

#

wait

#

ah yeah i think its because we have a custom d3d9.dll already

#

no we dont

#

i dont know whats causing this

#

oh

#

exposeRemixApi = True is breaking it

subtle bison
#

guh

lament quartz
#

after deleting bridge.conf it works... but we need the conf for all out dynamiclights

subtle bison
#

maybe just isolate the flag that breaks it?

#

agx shouldnt introduce any breaking changes so im not sure why you're having issues

#

are you using an older version of remix with your game? there could have been a regression causing the crashes

lament quartz
subtle bison
#

you'd probably have to comment out stuff one at a time if there is nothing in the logs

subtle bison
#

mine was based off the latest at the time of that day

lament quartz
#

no issues

weak ermine
#

holly fuck

#

agx my beloved

subtle bison
#

how does tonemapper changes conflict with the bridge pepeconfused

weak ermine
lament quartz
#

aces vs a modified agx

subtle bison
weak ermine
#

wow now tagging texture as water

#

makes them as water

meager oar
#

damn

runic gale
winter radish
#

Doesn't even use the latest Gmod

subtle bison
subtle bison
#

guh

#

it just has engine binaries to downgrade the game, i dont think its really an issue

runic gale
#

why would it have hl2.exe inculded

#

or it's that a patched or maybe virus

subtle bison
#

gmod used to use hl2.exe

#

we used to ship patched/downgraded binaries ourselves for x64 for a bit, so its not out of the ordinary to keep them on github

weak ermine
#

finally

#

dev_monitor water dont looks like shit

#

i can now change speed of animation

#

direction

#

life completed

subtle bison
weak ermine
#

with new dxvk its works

#

before it did nothing at all

meager oar
weak ermine
#

no dxvk-remix-gmod

subtle bison
#

it was probably from the changes in the mainline branch

#

we were 2 months out of date until yesterday

#

you can update the remix build in the launcher as well

meager oar
#

yea i did it RN

willow fog
subtle bison
#

yes its in the release readme

meager oar
runic gale
#

yeah, New textures

meager oar
#

wth why are 16k textures just crashing the game all of a sudden, used to wrk before

#

as soon as i get to that texture remix crashes

meager oar
runic gale
#

map please.

subtle bison
#

im surprised they worked previously

meager oar
#

yea they wrked remember the flat sand map where i put 16k textures?

subtle bison
#

oh yea

meager oar
#

i even put like 4 of them in wild west mines 😅 my vram was dying but it wrked

subtle bison
meager oar
runic gale
#

Why tf are u using 16k textures

#

That's so dumb

meager oar
#

not textures just 1 texture on a flatsand map, so i can use it for screenshots

subtle bison
runic gale
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

The lastest screenshots of mine are just simple 2K textures

meager oar
subtle bison
#

wtf

#

i didnt know it like fully animated it like that

meager oar
#

yea but its noisy

#

damn this skybux needs hdr on

subtle bison
#

maybe its a RR/DLSS thing, im using TAAU

meager oar
#

i disabled it now theres no noise

weak ermine
subtle bison
meager oar
#

i dnt remember this disocclusion setting being here

#

idk wat it does, doesnt seem to change anything

runic gale
#

hm

weak ermine
#

in this case its not ray reconstruction, more like eyes deconstruction

runic gale
lament quartz

Table

does it still happen on the CNN ray reconstruction model?

@subtle bison weird issue

#

The game runs fine.

#

But when I inspect the weapon, the game goes sub 20 fps

winter radish
subtle bison

#

ye

subtle bison
#

ill mess with it when i get home

livid rapids
#

@willow fog hey man you still need proper 2019 dumps?

livid rapids
#

I remember the mega archive not having metallic for some famas things and so

willow fog
livid rapids
#

Game is on high seas now

#

Pre-ricochet

#

Havent tested myself but exe dumps can be made

#

At least I saw a MWII beta dump today

#

Beware its the full 190~ gb

#

At least apart from dumping stuff you can play it

fumo got drip

sonic widget
#

Think thing I’m most impressed by this wanted to see how this would affect the HLsource maps

#

And it works pretty well actually a lot of the narrow hallway entrances and dramatic opening doors uses the shadows and god rays perfectly as they slowly open

weak ermine
#

lol

#

there's hl1 rtx exist

sonic widget
#

Yeah but just loading in a normal gmod map of it and it working pretty well is cool imo

#

And rather mess with that more

subtle bison
#

any of yall know a map where lightupdaters are buggy?

#

trying to see if i can improve it a bit

#

i thought some of the point insertion chapters in hl2 had issues but I guess I fixed them?

subtle bison
#

ok d3_breen_1 had the issue a lot, the solution is to move light updaters from being stuck out-of-bounds to in-bounds so they are in the PVS

#

this should fix a lot of instances of light culling

subtle bison
#

also added the ability to add lightupdaters to lights that dont exist in the niknaks map bsp data (the purple ones)

#

this fixes a LOT of issues

onyx ridge
#

have you added skinned mesh replacements

subtle bison
#

fuck no im not insane

#

xenthio already attempted it and its difficult af

wispy crest
#

what is that

subtle bison
#

modern source doesnt support gpu skinning since the fixed function renderer was deprecated over a decade ago. We have to manually reimplement that entire system using engine hooks

subtle bison
#

i've implemented a bunch of stuff to tweak how glass breaks

#

like shattering from point of origin (bullet or physics object), velocity (how far it gets pushed when impact hits it), different strength settings with presets

steel lark
#

pls include a glass material replacement like you did with water

subtle bison
#

ye it will be included

steel lark
#

🔥

weak ermine
#

finally fix for glass

#

life completed 100%

subtle bison
#

it was never broken, this is just a addon that lets you spawn breakable glass entities

#

it does also replace the original source engine breakable glass entities

subtle bison
#

the type of weapon you use will heavily impact how the glass shatters

winter radish
#

We should all just play Gmod RTX Horror together

subtle bison
#

bro i think i got the wrong copy of hl2rtx

Got forgotten

near tartan
subtle bison
#

i use mw base

#

least buggy with remix

near tartan
#

Alr

near tartan
#

game also crashes when I attempt to load a map

#

it gets passed all the loading processes but when I actually spawn in it freezes up and crashes

subtle bison
near tartan
#

yeah

#

hooking onto that ig

subtle bison
#

i think the newest dxvk i pushed tries to use amd graphics if it sees them

#

its a leftover from some testing i was doing and i forgot to remove iit

near tartan
#

okay

#

sooo, is there a work around

subtle bison
#

ye open the launcher, go to Advanced Install , iirc there should be a dxvk-remix section, there should be a dropdown box inside, open it and find 63d4a8c - 3

#

once you find it, press install

near tartan
#

hu, so I think this an issue Ima just have to figure out myself, so when I install, it says everything is installed, but then when I run it, it doesn't work,

#

so I closed the gmod thing and re-opened, it doesn't seem to save those settings

#

however I recived some info from windows defender, it's blocking every remix file known to man right now for some unknown reason

#

so I'm gonna have to figure out whatever the fucks going on there

#

fucking Bill Gates shitty ass windows 11

wispy crest
#

it happened to me too

near tartan
#

just make windows 7 remastered atp

#

stop trying new things

wispy crest
#

Bill hasn't been with Microsoft for years

subtle bison
#

i forget windows defender blocks remix files

#

i added a exclusion rule to my entire C:\ drive so i never experienced it lol

near tartan
#

I'm bout to disable windows defender in a minute omg

#

alr

#

got it all sorted out, still not working though

subtle bison
#

what isnt exactly working

near tartan
#

it's 100% running off the apu still

#

cause I have max vram usage in the menu

subtle bison
#

even with the older remix build?

near tartan
#

I even tried to set it back to xeniths patches

#

it seems not to save the changes I make, and claim to update them but not actually do it

#

and yes I am installing in adminstartor mode

subtle bison
#

the patches dont control that, you only need to change the remix version, messing with the patches will just break the install entirely

near tartan
#

Yeah those didn't work either, I tried those first like you said, but heen that didn't work so i tried the patches

#

gonna make another fresh install, see if that works

subtle bison
#

if downgrading your remix build didnt work, it means you need to set the preferred GPU in windows

near tartan
#

come to think of it I did just update windows

#

so

#

maybe Bills Shitty ass update broke everything

subtle bison
#

are any screens connected to your igpu? if not, just disable it in device manager

near tartan
#

yeah that worked

#

I tried using control panel to force nvidia gpu but it might as well be the best to just disable the apu all together

#

It did really suprise me though when I enabled gpu usage to force the system to use the card, and it still ran off the apu

#

bill gate found a way to ignore the nvidia control panel to make things more difficult ig

subtle bison
#

its been like that for a while, you have to set gpu preferences in windows instead

#

not my pic but this is where it is

near tartan
#

we should lowkey find a way to get valve to own windows so they can fix ts

subtle bison
#

do u crash going ingame now

#

(hopefully not 😇 )

near tartan
#

so it's looking pretty good, but also for whatever reason it won't let me access graphics preferences because bill gates is just a piece of shit, so I'm just gonna keep it off in device manager

winter radish
#

I on the other hand, have an ancient CPU with no graphics

subtle bison
#

i really need to pull the latest dxvk-remix-gmod build 💀

#

anyone with a amd igpu is gonna have a bad time

yea i've been trying to replicate that, but doing it all in glua is killing the game lmao

weak ermine
subtle bison
#

yea i already made the limit twice as big compared to the original addon, ill see if we can do more but the engine is starting to lag with so many clientside physics props lmao

compact blaze
subtle bison
#

🙂

weak ermine
#

"🙂"

hasty sonnet
subtle bison
weak ermine
#

why maybe

#

🙂

subtle bison
#

because i dont want to put too much time into a novelty feature

#

unless im like super psyched on the idea

onyx ridge
weak ermine
#

lol

subtle bison
#

does jolt improve it or something? ik jolt works with remix but i guess ill see what happens

weak ermine
#

this is physics, not rendering?

onyx ridge
#

it generally makes physics better but it causes some problems with procedural glass last i checked

weak ermine
#

why this shouldn't work with remix lol

onyx ridge
#

sometimes when it generates glass i think it creates physics that jolt doesn't like so you get floating immobile glass pieces

#

(they still have collision if i remember they just don't move)

subtle bison
#

its a lil buggy compared to vphysics but it largely looks the same

onyx ridge
#

volt + remix is a pretty cool combo i think supermario

subtle bison
#

too bad a lot of stuff still buggy or broken

onyx ridge
#

you're replacing two of the biggest parts of gmod (physics and rendering) with much more complex and modern implementations

subtle bison
weak ermine
#

bruh

subtle bison
compact blaze
compact blaze
subtle bison
#

its a fork of this

#

i wanted it to be a little more realistic with impacts and shattering

compact blaze
#

You’re telling me you’re gonna shrug off running head first into shattering glass

subtle bison
#

🙂

compact blaze
#

This is why volt is W makes the experience more realistic

subtle bison
#

the intention is to make it more like a action flick where if you run into glass, it doesnt completely stop you when it shatters

subtle bison
#

awesome

weak ermine
#

in rl u cannot just run into the glass and don't break ur face so this is realism gmod now

subtle bison
#

damn

willow fog
subtle bison
wispy crest
#

it's like hla glass

willow fog
#

Breaking

#

Gmod users discover glass

subtle bison
#

i did all of this because i didnt want to fix the normal source engine glass shader tux_dawg

wispy crest
#

lazy

subtle bison
#

fuck it we get realistic HLA glass instead

haughty goblet
#

I’d actually expect glass to behave a bit more like S1 ngl

subtle bison
#

ill add a toggle in the rtx spawnmenu that toggles the replacement glass

subtle bison
#

so i fixed the broken shader for normal glass entities but the UVs are cursed in remix

#

😦

haughty goblet
#

That is indeed cursed.

subtle bison
#

ill fix the remaining shards but i dont think there is much I can do here

subtle bison
#

i cant figure out how to enable it, i tried pressing R with a full mag like mw base does, but nothing

willow fog
#

It does

#

E+R

subtle bison
#

OH

#

that works thx lol

#

no issues here

#

also found a cvar to disable the dx9 warning

#

arc9_ignore_dx 1

#

im gonna set this and a few others in the next release

willow fog
#

ADD IT TO DEFAULTS

subtle bison
#

lmao

#

did u ever figure out a way to fix scopes

#

if i disable the black texture on the scope, whole gun dissapears so i assume thats the albedo

willow fog
#

Might have to do something with replacements

subtle bison
#

yea ig

willow fog
#

dunno

subtle bison
#

weird that mw base doesnt suffer from this

subtle bison
#

its decals or skins over the gun

#

which dont work correctly anyway

willow fog
#

hm

haughty goblet
#

I love VC messages they always contain the funniest shit ever. Should probably look into my old commit histories, I wanna see my previous suffering.

steel lark
#

CR what do i do if the rtx launcher doesn't want to create an install folder in commons/GarrysModRTX?

subtle bison
#

idk, maybe dont create an install there?

#

anything in program files can have read/write issues if permissions aren't correct, so it's better for it to be on another drive or your user folder

steel lark
#

bruh

#

alright but i mean you should probably try to fix it somehow (i don't know if that's possible, sorry if it isn't) cause most people are just gonna make a copy of the gmod install inside the commons folder in the default program files folder

subtle bison
#

why would they need to make a copy? the launcher makes a symlink of your vanilla game's files except for anything that will be patched, which gets copied instead

#

i can update the instructions to be more specific if that helps

#

this isnt something that needs to be fixed, it's not meant to be ran in program files

steel lark
#

aaaahhh uhh i didn't know that i haven't used the launcher in a while lol

subtle bison
#

all good, i need to clarify this in the readme anyway

steel lark
#

ok alright then i'll try it again

haughty goblet
#

It’s a tonemapper that behaves better in a mathematical sense

#

That said lottes is still optimal, just use an s-curve later (ooh, hot take)

haughty goblet
#

Uh, no, not always at least

#

It has to strong of a tendency of not preserving saturation. That’s not good.

#

I’d say hue preservation is its strong suit

willow fog
#

Yeah it desaturates bright colors

#

Which imo looks really nice. Because an irl camera would also do that when overexposed

haughty goblet
#

Uh, no it wouldn’t

#

A bad one might, but no good camera would

willow fog
#

Yes it would

haughty goblet
#

The dynamic range is way too high on production cameras

willow fog
#

Who the fuck

#

I don't care about no production cameras

haughty goblet
#

It’s not “one bulb” desaturation. It’s the fucking sun desaturation.

#

Point is, it’s not perfect.

#

Just use minimal tonemappers and color grade

willow fog
#

I'm a poor guy and the best camera I have is the one on my phone. That's my frame of reference

willow fog
haughty goblet
#

That’s not a good frame of reference

willow fog
#

That's a natural frame of reference

#

I've never even seen a red camera from a distance

haughty goblet
#

Huh

willow fog
#

You know

#

Those fancy expensive movie cameras

haughty goblet
#

Okay

#

Anyway, just integrate over lambda. Solves like 99% of saturation preservation issues.

willow fog
#

I suppose

haughty goblet
#

desaturation happens mostly (but not only) because of bright colors being clipped, so they naturally desaturate (so, like a clamp)
If a, say, neon-like bulb shines like that, it will not ever desaturate, since it doesn’t emit anything but a single wavelength.

haughty goblet
willow fog
#

I suppose you're right

#

I wonder if there's an ocio-like tonemapper

haughty goblet
#

OCIO has local + rein

#

Pretty sure, I might have not look there

willow fog
#

NOT OCIO

#

I'm incredibly stupid

#

I meant OKLAB

haughty goblet
#

OKLab is a color space

#

You could use it tho, like rein in L, nothing in an and b.

haughty goblet
#

cut off his balls

subtle bison
#

you can see how much the color bleeds at the brightest part of the lamp

#

cameras dont do this

onyx ridge
haughty goblet
subtle bison
#

no it does not lol

haughty goblet
#

Yes it does

#

You showed the worst case scenario for agx what did you expect

#

It looks pretty to the right near the sun, but the center sucks ass

#

Anyway use rein or lottes

subtle bison
haughty goblet
#

Uh, no

#

You’re showing a monocomponent light

#

That sucks for AgX all of the time

#

I do know how you could improve it though

#

You could try desaturating before, resaturating after

#

Maybe with an oklab transform since that looks very nice

subtle bison
#

remix's tonemapper is nowhere that advanced

haughty goblet
#

Doesn’t need to be

subtle bison
#

oh i misread

haughty goblet
#

A tonemapper is a fancy name for “not clamping and like a sigmoid”

#

Well, if it’s “filmic” anyway

#

Also, no single tonemapper will look good always (that is unless it super basic >:)*

weak ermine
#

who cares

#

if u like aces use aces, what's ur problem

subtle bison
#

gonna see what I can do in lua for drawing eyes

#

https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Entity:EyePos
https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Entity:EyeAngles
these can get me the pos and angle (as seen in the pic), but its not really accurate, maybe i can go lower-level?

wispy crest
#

I've had eyes work sometimes

subtle bison
#

ye if you use the portal rtx stdshader_dx6/7 files for x32 they sort of work

#

but they dont animate because studiomdl deprecated fixed function a long time ago

wispy crest
#

no like

#

they just work

subtle bison
#

got a way to reproduce?

wispy crest
#

no because I believe it's on a specific model

subtle bison
#

well if the model uses fully modelled eyeballs that makes sense

#

but we're trying to fix the ones that usually use shaders to render

#

so 99% of models

wispy crest
#

it's odd because it's in a hl2rp model pack and I think only one of them does it

subtle bison
#

guh

#

do you know the exact one?

wispy crest
#

unless they decided to use fully modeled eyes for one model and none for the rest

#

uhh I can look

subtle bison
#

holy moly 800mb

wispy crest
#

models/cellar/characters/city3/citizens/male/c3_male_14.mdl
models/cellar/characters/city3/citizens/male/c3_male_15.mdl

#

these two do it

subtle bison
#

ty, ill check em rq

wispy crest
#

models/cellar/characters/city3/citizens/female/c3_female_05.mdl also does it

#

so does models/cellar/characters/city3/citizens/female/c3_female_12.mdl

subtle bison
#

ye i see why now

#

they're static

#

they dont respond to the eye poser which means there is no bones

#

so they dont use shader rendering

wispy crest
#

I wonder why the other models dont have eyes

subtle bison
#

because they probably use shader rendering, maybe these specific models werent meant to be used?

wispy crest
#

these same models are used in their metro police models as well

subtle bison
#

yep they do

#

still weird only some of them dont lol

wispy crest
#

interdasting

#

I thought I would bring it up since it seemed odd

#

odd to create rp models that dont have posable eyes

subtle bison
#

do they work in normal gmod?

#

anyway, hopefully i can figure out something for the eye stuff, i already tried replacing the actual eyerefract shader but it was too complex for me

wispy crest
#

ill test normal gmod

#

oh weird

#

so they do work in normal gmod, and the eyes can be posed

subtle bison
#

guh

#

fuckin studiomdl 😭

#

well if i do end up fixing eyes in lua, im gonna have to make a new eye poser then 🥲

wispy crest
#

yeah idk

subtle bison
#

wow this might actually be doable in lua

wispy crest
#

potentially dumb question; how possible is it to get the hl2rtx models working in remix, like how the other textures are mounted

subtle bison
#

they already work, for anything that isnt a skinned mesh, so a lot

#

if you have the newest launcher, just mount hl2rtx

wispy crest
#

the weapons work?

subtle bison
#

no, those are skinned

wispy crest
#

oh

subtle bison
#

anything that has bones is skinned, so NPCs, ragdolls, weapons

wispy crest
#

we are not able to extract those skins?

subtle bison
#

you'd have to implement gpu skinning in the engine, xenthio already tried it i dont think we got anything working, its a very difficult thing to implement

wispy crest
#

so its not something where you can just take the materials and slap them into a mod

subtle bison
#

no, the only thing remix can replace is the textures of the mesh if you dont have gpu skinning

#

so if we wanted the skinned hl2rtx models without using remix, we'd have to replace them in the engine

#

but like i said, props work fine, which is most of the model replacements in hl2rtx anyway

wispy crest
#

interesting, is there a reason why that is

subtle bison
#

i dont know the exact reason other than valve just making it like that

#

im sure there is a more technical reason but im not equipped with the knowledge lol

wispy crest
#

hl2rtx can do it no problem because it was made in that remix?

#

but you can't take those skins and apply them into other remixes

subtle bison
#

so when i meant by skinning, its not like the definition you're thinking of

lament quartz
subtle bison
#

skinning is rendering the meshes bones directly in fixed function by the gpu

#

iirc

#

hl2rtx, and the other official remix releases can do this because they reimplemented gpu skinning back into the engine

wispy crest
#

quite a bit of heavy lifting by the gpu

#

incredible tech

#

I was just hoping we'd be able to extract those materials for the weapons and the such

#

like SSS is useless because nothing uses it in gmod rtx

subtle bison
#

you'd just need to extract the .pkg files from hl2rtx and then find the .dds texture of the asset you're looking for

wispy crest
#

oh thats what I was asking if it was possible to do

#

then put it into gmod

#

or is the gmod part not possible

subtle bison
#

you can, you would need to use the nvidia or blender toolkit to apply them to something though

#

so if you had a workshop mod for the hl2rtx weapons, you'd just need to apply the PBR materials to those

#

they should match up as long as the mod author didnt wreck the model UVs

wispy crest
#

I see

#

nice to know its possible

jade surge
subtle bison
jade surge
#

Oooh

#

I see, can the viewmodel not just be done in remix? Or is that what the skinned mesh discussion was about?

subtle bison
#

yeah they're skinned meshes so they cant be replaced in remix

#

so you would have to port the model to source itself

jade surge
#

Strange, I just thought when model swapping in remix, remix just associated the imported model with the originals render calls, so it would see "hey this asset is being called use ours"

subtle bison
#

that only works if the model hash is stable, and unfortunately for skinned meshes in gmod, they're not

#

here is a visual example, my gun and alyx are constantly changing colors, that means they do not have a stable hash

#

but if i spawn the radiator prop, they all have the same color, so it has a stable hash

#

the difference between these is that my viewmodel and alyx have bones (which means they are skinned), while the radiator is not

subtle bison
#

👁️

winter radish
jade surge
#

Wow even the ground aint stable

subtle bison
#

ye idk why brush geometry isnt stable, but i added a anchor mesh system so you can still add lights to maps and stuff

hasty sonnet
jade surge
#

I wonder if and how they resolved some of these issues for hl2rtx

subtle bison
#

i think they're using a anchor mesh like us for spawning lights or additional geometry

#

the only things they modified in their source engine is skinned meshes, removed culling, and NPC eyes

#

maybe there is more but those are the standouts

turbid barn
#

Ig it's was added recently

#

Because I've tried to find it half of year ago

subtle bison
#

hope this doesnt end up like fsr

subtle bison
#

ok well it returns an output but it doesnt seem like its upscaling yet

#

far better than FSR tho lmao

#

@winter radish

winter radish
subtle bison
#

i couldnt ever get it to initialize (gpu driver crashes, weird extension requests, etc), also was much more complex just to add to remix

winter radish
subtle bison
#

if i get this fully working im probably not going to bother doing FSR as i spent 2 days on that and got nowhere

#

im only doing this because optiscaler is now broken with remix

meager oar
#

upgraded to a i5 13th gen, 32gb ddr5 and pcie 4. finally out of bottleneck territory 💀

winter radish
subtle bison
#

gmod crashes instantly if optiscaler is present

#

i tried reverting it and future commits based on it, and while it goes ingame, a lot of rendering stuff wasnt working correctly

#

i think i'll need to make an issue on optiscaler's repo but hey why not add native xess 2 while we're here TROLLED

winter radish
#

Wanna tell us something NVIDIA

subtle bison
#

its buggy but holy shit in cant believe what i am seeing

winter radish
subtle bison
#

all in about a hour and a half

winter radish
subtle bison
#

this is like 0.1x the amount of commits compared to fsr lmfao

winter radish
#

Another God has been born

subtle bison
#

their SDK is so simple to work with

#

thank intel

winter radish
#

iirc I mentioned it should be simpler
Intel doing great stuff fr

subtle bison
#

cant wait for vulkan fg

winter radish
#

Intel locked their new FG to Intel cards

subtle bison
#

guh

#

noooo 😭

#

i guess lossless scaling still works

winter radish
#

I guess ML FG is just better

#

@subtle bison also since it would probably take awhile for Remix to merge it, I could give you access to the custom P2 RTX runtime fork to mess with

subtle bison
#

isnt it public?

willow fog
#

No. The mod isn't

subtle bison
#

oh

willow fog
#

Speaking of. @winter radish I demand a steam key

#

I wanna play

winter radish
winter radish
subtle bison
willow fog
#

That simply does not matter to me

subtle bison
#

IM ABOUT TO CRY exiled

willow fog
#

I want to see things

subtle bison
#

no

subtle bison
#

this is fuckin huge exiled

willow fog
#

Well actually

#

That's pretty cool

#

I can't say it's huge for me since I'm a based Nvidia user but

subtle bison
#

closest we'll get to DLSS 4 without FSR

#

amd pls fix your horrible sdk

winter radish
#

If it gets merged into Remix I will bother the Portal RTX devs and Half-Life 2 RTX ones till they update to it

subtle bison
#

im def gonna pr it

winter radish
subtle bison
#

once i push my changes to my repo you can take a look

winter radish
#

Hopefully the older Runtime we’re on doesn’t effect things

#

I notice ours has broken RR for example

willow fog
subtle bison
#

bro will do anything for a key

winter radish
willow fog
winter radish
#

I’ll get you a key later when I’m also getting the one for Intel

willow fog
winter radish
#

If not identical

subtle bison
#

i missed this so much 🥲

#

143fps @ 4K with xess ultra perf

#

i forgot how well it scales at higher resolutions

#

it looks native 🤤

winter radish
#

FSR 3.1 could never

subtle bison
#

this is why i love xess

#

tho anything without motion vectors looks like ass lol

#

look at the power lines

winter radish
subtle bison
#

it wont change probably, dlss would have the same issue

#

this is a gmod rtx issue since world geometry has unstable hashes (so no stable motion vectors)

willow fog
subtle bison
#

anyone else keep seeing this? i think its a bot

#

or a very shy person, they have been doing this for over a week

winter radish
subtle bison
#

they both use motion vectors lol

modern quest
subtle bison
#

maybe dlss can clean it up better but they will both suffer without motion vectors

subtle bison
#

apologies if it is someone, just something i've kept seeing

modern quest
#

we'll take care of it if it ends up being a bot

winter radish
subtle bison
#

lol all good
