Garry's Mod

[jade surge]

now if instead of using the actual sky I project it on a sphere instead at 1024 it samples much worse

the original scene I did this method for I was doing a psudo star trek holo deck like thing, and there was stuff outside the room so I couldnt simply "hide the walls"

while ultimately this is an absurd niche, I still wanna see cycles get ReSTIR at some point

anywho back to gmod

large scale GI go hard

[willow fog]

Weird

Something is not right. I've never seen anything like that

[jade surge]

its just what happens when you have a really small point of light in a skybox, and when you make that skybox not a sky in blenders eyes, it doesnt give it any special treatment

it also doesnt help there is no actual light source, just "a small bright spot", so its not like its sending a large number of rays to that light to sample it well, since the light doesnt really exist

[willow fog]

That'd do it

Yep

[jade surge]

thats why this is impressive to me, there is no sunlight in the scene, just the "bright spot" on the HDRI

[jade surge]

seems after some testing one of the big helpers to the custom HDRI lights is the NEE cache

which given this, it makes sense

[subtle bison]

this looks like a early 2000s render

[lament quartz]

Its missing the endless void background

[steel lark]

let me cook

[jade surge]

oof, volumetrics dont like it either

[wispy crest]

pistols came out really nice

[steel lark]

a lot harder to cook then i expected

[subtle bison]

what is happening here

[lapis delta]

sorry in advance for asking, but is this even a remix?

[wispy crest]

yes

[lapis delta]

restir or nrc?

[subtle bison]

why is the denoiser off

[lapis delta]

he likes it raw

[steel lark]

shit

just lost a screenshot

do i not have the snipping tool???

actually not

zamn alright that's why the screenshots aren't saving

[compact blaze]

And the high contrast

[lament quartz]

And the random 2 colored spotlights

[compact blaze]

Along with the very warped reflections on the sides of the object

Along with some aliasing

Oh and some old photoshop trickery

[jade surge]

thats just spacebuild

[jade surge]

Curious why is the skybox brightness set to 3?

And not just 1?

[subtle bison]

because skyboxes look too dark by default

i found 3 to be a good balance for most maps

honestly i should make this a per map setting, but that will require some api changes

[meager oar]

Also depends on PP settings, I have the sky brightness at 1

[wispy crest]

I think I'm blind because I can't find the roughness and metallic maps for hla combine ordinal

[willow fog]

They might be swizzled into a single map

[wispy crest]

I can see that it's being called to

in source 2 viewer, but I can't find it

even when decompiled

there are a bunch of AO maps, but I don't think that's useful for anything

I did use one for metallic and it seemed to work for it, but still no rough

[half viper]

hey gmod wont launch its whining about a material/console/backround01_widescreen.vtf

[weak ermine]

reinstall gmod maybe

[half viper]

yeah i fixed it

[weak ermine]

it's new bug of ray reconstruction, i hope rtx remix devs fix this

[steel lark]

isn't that just the context menu?

[subtle bison]

this looks like the halo shader issue

[subtle bison]

some progress on my gmall_remixed project

all made with the blender toolkit 🤓

[subtle bison]

placing area lights has never been easier

[winter radish]

I’ve been shot on that map in Pavlov

Ooo, TTT on that map?

[steel lark]

nah

it doesn't have the required entities

only ttt maps are usable really

[winter radish]

I’ll source mod if I have to

[steel lark]

what?

there's probably a ttt map of that map but idk if replacements work if the maps is different right?

[winter radish]

Only one way to find out

[subtle bison]

they'll work if the hashes are the same, same goes if you have the anchor mesh in the exact same spot for stuff like lights

[winter radish]

Cool

Now is the time we come as a community to play TTT with RTX

[subtle bison]

guh

[wispy crest]

you can play ttt on any map

[weak ermine]

fix pseudoplayermodels and i will play ttt with u

[winter radish]

pseudoplayermodels?

[wispy crest]

he's the only one that talks about it, I have no idea what it is

[lament quartz]

Basically first person shadows for playermodels

Used to be a feature but was removed sadly

[weak ermine]

its not removed

[subtle bison]

its not removed

it was removed from the UI for a little bit but i added it back

[lament quartz]

I mean from settings my bad lol

Oh?

[subtle bison]

ye

[lament quartz]

GOSH DARN 5 SECOND COOLDOWN

[subtle bison]

not sure why its broken on mp, still havent looked into it

[quasi blaze]

does RTX remix actually go well with multiplayer currently?

[subtle bison]

it works okay, but a lot of the clientside fixes wont run in MP since its all an addon

unless you're hosting

[winter radish]

Also maps can vary in compatibility
Some will work perfectly, some will show mild bugs and some will just be broken completely

[subtle bison]

i expect most not to render correctly if you're playing on a server without the addon running on it

[quasi blaze]

and i bet admins would not allow RTX addons (or rtx remix itself) to be on RP servers

[subtle bison]

it wouldnt be too hard to inject the mod so it works on all servers, 90% of the compat stuff in the addon is clientside

and since gmod doesnt use VAC, no worry of getting banned

except for some of those hardcore darkrp servers (not that i'd expect anyone to get playable performance on servers like those, they usually have stupidly large unoptimized maps)

[earnest yew]

plus the maps themselves have like

custom loading zones etc

[subtle bison]

ye its just a spaghetti mess anyway

i imagine rtx remix would be most useful for sandbox, deathrun, TTT, etc

[wispy crest]

I joined an hl2rp with remix and I was seeing through walls lol

[hasty sonnet]

FUCK EM HALOS

Petition to make the rtx-remix discord server have a server tag that just says "RTX"

[willow fog]

Not happening. The server's actual owner won't bother even opening discord but he won't transfer ownership either.

[hasty sonnet]

nice commitment

even my parents have more

[half viper]

I did a great job at naming it

[subtle bison]

i should probably integrate that into the compat mod

no point in having external deps

[subtle bison]

oh wow that is the whole addon lmao

[subtle bison]

absolutely groundbreaking changes

new flashlight solution inbound 😱

gonna do a hl2rtx and make the flashlight out of remix lights

should also make it work for addons that try to override the engine one

[subtle bison]

🔥

yep it works over mw base

lets fuckin gooo

[lament quartz]

what happened to the old one?

[subtle bison]

old one was buggy at best

it relied on overriding the engine level flashlight, even then, it wouldnt work on a lot of maps

this goes over the engine since its just an anchor parented to the player and isnt dependent on engine-lighting

this is also server compatible

since its it's own entity, it means you can see other people's flashlights too

seems to work perfectly in MP

[lament quartz]

god i need to try mp

[subtle bison]

(it's not a great experience) 🙂

if i have time this week ill try to focus on fixing the bugs that are in MP

might need to buy a 2nd gmod copy lol

[subtle bison]

xess balanced @ 900p lol

RX 9070 is a monster

[half viper]

Yeah lmfao

[half viper]

Please tell me it doesn't activate the vanilla flashlight

The vanilla flashlight causes decals to lose transparency

[subtle bison]

it doesnt

it's entirely a different command and entity

when i make a release it's going to override the original bind

[wispy crest]

2 fps

[subtle bison]

trying to replicate the modern hl2 flashlight look, using two lights, one dim with a wide radius, the inner one that is much brighter but with a more narrow radius
it looks weird in blender but just right in remix

looks somewhat alright in 3rd person

[steel lark]

crazy work

[subtle bison]

so much better than the old source engine flashlight 🙏

[steel lark]

[subtle bison]

wdym

[jade surge]

when I used remix like a week ago we were talking about the agx tonemap and how its default values werent right, I was just wondering if the config was updated to be correct

[subtle bison]

the existing rtx.conf in the compat mod doesnt have any agx settings at all

but no, i havent

the defaults in the PR is what it will be when i do update it

[jade surge]

ok

just wondering, idk how often config updates drop but I know the launcher has an update button, so I was curious

[subtle bison]

all good. the rtx.conf gets updated every compat mod release

im still working on some stuff for that so it will be a bit

[jade surge]

ok

[wispy crest]

just spent 4 hours replacing textures on models

[subtle bison]

show the results king

[wispy crest]

I did all of those HL2 Remade assets, that are on the alyx workshop

you can see my delusional workspace

[subtle bison]

i mean this would be the right way to do it lol

[wispy crest]

oh is it

i also plan on doing Volkolak's HLA props

before and after on some smaller props

top part of the thumper wont render for some reason

[brittle token]

goddamn, that's nice

[wispy crest]

thanks

[subtle bison]

depressed thumper

[wispy crest]

thumplet

[winter radish]

Are these custom made? Afaik, these weren’t in HL2 RTX

[winter radish]

FUCK, AI learned how to draw Text properly

[wispy crest]

yes

they are created by the HL2RA team for hla

and were ported to hl2 by Volkolak

I then slapped them into gmod, deleted the props I didn't like, and then spent 4 hours remixing them

I plan on doing his hla props port, but that's over 400 props, I got it down to like 200, in which 55 are gibs

and I also planned on finishing the cs2 weapons

[winter radish]

We remastering Gmod with this one

https://tenor.com/view/dog-sunset-javgag-gif-6354990519690233079

[wispy crest]

if I was really insane, I would take all those hla texture mods and then put them with the proper properties

but I'm not sure how I would get all the textures at once to remix them

and it also sounds like a million hours of work

but I'm so addicted to PBR

[jade surge]

all this technology to render a watermelon at mcdonalds, remix is truely special

[meager oar]

it already did long time ago with google imagen 3 and ideogram 2.0

now in veo vid generation its able to keep the text coherent even in motion, i was impressed when i first saw tat like damn

[winter radish]

Ooo, McDonalds map RTX for TTT

[jade surge]

anyone else had this issue where a model just kinda doesnt shade properly?

nvm thats apparently what it looks like when a model is not told it needs to ignore baked lighting

also the remix editor doesnt stop the context menu

[wispy crest]

frightening image

[jade surge]

wow RR hates mirrors

[winter radish]

“Gregory, I didn’t mean to”

[willow fog]

Bro got minced

[wispy crest]

a new day, another 6 hours of replacing textures

maybe even porting source 2 models to source 1

too bad 3ds max can't import vmdl

I'm also not sure how apply bones properly, which I think is done through the QC file

with like, valve.biped

not a coder, just a guy who loves looking at textures

I probably need to teach myself how to create PBR from scratch, rather than relying on others work and just porting it over

then I could be unstoppable

[past notch]

a lot of these props were made by HL2RA/P17 (who are two of the mod teams making up HL2RTX) prior to working on RTX, and will in fact be used in HL2RTX, I just don't think we shipped most of these with the demo as they weren't necessary

in the demo I think we shipped the headcrab pod

[wispy crest]

Thank you for your amazing work

I was amazed when they were ported to source 1

the combine interfaces, when ported, did not have proper illumination, so I had to teach myself how to edit VMTs to get them to work

[compact blaze]

im really glad you are using/modifying those remaining previous props instead of the same people redoing them, one of my big fears is most of the development time being used to remake assets already remade by them

[dense crow]

How to get GMOD RTX to look as good as Half Life 2 RTX? the image is just so much sharper

[weak ermine]

huh

what are you talking about bruh

[wispy crest]

its because all the textures in hl2rtx has been replaced with 4k textures

gmod is still using 1024x1024

or 512x512

and its using pbr mats

[dense crow]

no im talking about

how the game itself seems to run at a higher resolution

[wispy crest]

make sure you arent running on dlss quality

[amber hare]

@past notch yo i know u from nvidia can u fix this flex thing, the fluid stacks on the walls so like, can u fix that issue its kinda annoying

[wispy crest]

what

[willow fog]

Exactly

[wispy crest]

I don't even understand what you are asking

[amber hare]

i was just asking an an nvidia worker to fix flex

[wispy crest]

he's-

he's not employed by nvidia

[amber hare]

then idk

he did have the nvidia role tho

[wispy crest]

bc he's working on hl2rtx

[amber hare]

who cares same thing

[wispy crest]

????

[amber hare]

its all programming

[weak ermine]

bro u stupid?

[amber hare]

nah

[weak ermine]

looks like it

[wispy crest]

idek what this "flex" thing is

[amber hare]

its the backend of gelly and gwater 2

[wispy crest]

are you talking about fluid simulation?

[amber hare]

that makes the fluid fluid

[wispy crest]

bro

gwater isnt using like, nvidia fluid simulation

[modern quest]

guys respectfully wtf is this argument

[amber hare]

-_-

yes it is

[amber hare]

i have no idea i was just asking for flex to be fixed idk what else

[willow fog]

It is, yes, but the developers of that software are not in this server. David doesn't work for Nvidia. David is an artist.

[amber hare]

oh welp

i tried

[past notch]

I do work for NVIDIA (now, didn't always), but I am still not the right person to ping

[willow fog]

Right

[past notch]

also if this is a gmod fluid addon nobody at NVIDIA is the right person to ping

[amber hare]

oh ok

[willow fog]

Well, now we know.

[wispy crest]

no one at nvidia is developing gwater

[amber hare]

i was asking for flex to be fixed since its using the same thing

the system u see in gmod is the same one as if you were to import it to unity

[wispy crest]

you'd have to ask meetric

[amber hare]

meetric didnt program flex tho

[past notch]

NVIDIA is a rather large company and the only folks in here are working on Remix

you'd be best off reporting this on the NVIDIA forums or something, I think

I don't know too much about the underlying system here

[amber hare]

uhhh dunno where do i find them but thanks

[weak ermine]

gwater uses flex or something like that what nvidia developed for physx

[amber hare]

yeah

flex was physx and flex combined before they split it into 2

[wispy crest]

tbh i havent looked into gwater that much

[willow fog]

physx

is physx even still worked on? lmao

isnt it depreciated

no, not physx, physx is for gas and ropes and stuff, flex is for fluid simulation and cloth

[weak ermine]

part of physx

🙄🙄🙄

[amber hare]

no, not part of physx as they are seperated and are completely different to implement into anything

[weak ermine]

look at borderlands 2 physx water

from pipe at one level

[amber hare]

yeah no im not reading allat

in reverse

they are both seperate

this is stupid

yeah, it is

for some reason they decided to just split physx

and leave the physx alone but with less features lmao

[wispy crest]

this is also so off topic

nah, not really, its still about gmod

[wispy crest]

but not about remix

true

also a side note, physx or flex isnt being worked on for the past 4 years or more

other than some small updates to support modern graphics cards

[weak ermine]

so no one will fix this bro

u answered ur question

[amber hare]

not if somebody will get asked

i mean, nobody really wanted flex or physx but nvidia did it anyways

ye doom1 has the same issue

game lags hard when you spawn in, same happens when spawning doom NPCs for the 1st time

[amber hare]

how do you have more than 30 fps on rtx remix

[subtle bison]

rx 9070

[amber hare]

what cpu?

[subtle bison]

7950X3D

[amber hare]

yes but which one

5 7 or 9

[subtle bison]

guh

AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D Gaming Processor™™™™™

[amber hare]

tbfh i was thinking of buying a 9 7950X3D for a LOOOOONG time

[subtle bison]

trust me flatgras on gmod rtx will run on a potato

[amber hare]

we had the same idea

you dont understand how it is to play on a 1500x

a 5 1500x

[weak ermine]

bro

[subtle bison]

naw even on a 1500x it should be more than doable, especially on x64 since there is no remix bridge to crush cpu performance

[amber hare]

i have an rtx 3060

[weak ermine]

rt calculated on gpu not cpu

[modern quest]

mine's better

[amber hare]

and im getting 30 fps on gm construct

[amber hare]

there isnt a better cpu than that

[weak ermine]

bcz 3060

[modern quest]

9950x3d

[amber hare]

it only depends on what type of cpu you want

[subtle bison]

gpu is the main factor, but a lot of bigger/complex gmod maps will easy run like shit if your CPU isnt fast enough

[amber hare]

thats not a better cpu

[modern quest]

also some Epyc CPUs have 3d cache now

[subtle bison]

cuz no culling

[amber hare]

a 9950x3d is used for blender and not for gmod

[modern quest]

it is measurably better lol

[subtle bison]

thx gonna buy 5 of them including a 2nd house to store them all

gmod rtx 10000fps

[amber hare]

gmod uses mostly one core, even when you enable multicore rendering its not using the full power of all of them

[subtle bison]

im pretty sure multicore doesnt even do anything on the fixed function render path 💀

you're at the mercy of entity limits primarily

[amber hare]

and an amd 9 7950x3d is the BEST for gmod cuz it has one of the best score on single core test

[modern quest]

okay so lemme ask you a question

[amber hare]

exactly

[modern quest]

if the 9950x3d has the same core and thread count, how exactly did they improve performance without improving single thread performance?

it's significantly higher

[amber hare]

honestly idk but i only looked at the benchmarks

[modern quest]

12.4% gain on single thread perf

[amber hare]

u call 12.4% significant?

its gonna give you like 10 fps more

[modern quest]

lol

[amber hare]

its not worth the extra what, 100 dollars?

[modern quest]

12.4% for a single generation apart is pretty damn impressive. and it is measurably better

[subtle bison]

in the realm of gmod rtx, i dont even think it would make a meaningful improvement (not hating on the CPU, just that the bottleneck is not primarily CPU lol)

[modern quest]

probably not. i was just saying it is actually a better CPU

[subtle bison]

this is the FPS with RT off but dxvk still present

[modern quest]

responding to this

[subtle bison]

i dont think a 9950X3D will change anything here with RT on lol

[amber hare]

i still think a 9 7950x3d for its price and performance is a much better choice than a 9 9950x3d

[modern quest]

only one way to find out 😛

[subtle bison]

im completely gpu bound, it definitely wont measure up with your system lol

[amber hare]

well if u both have the same gpus thats definitely a way to find out

[modern quest]

i have a 7950x3d and i agree. but a 9950x3d is actually an upgrade, i wanted to clarify that

[amber hare]

but u dont since he has an rx 9070 i think and u have idk what

[modern quest]

4090

[amber hare]

yeah

[subtle bison]

i mean we could do a dry run, disable all addons, take a screenshot at the same coordinates and resolution (XeSS @ ultra perf @ 1080p) sound good?

[modern quest]

we have the same CPU lol

[amber hare]

so u cant make a comparison where an rtx 4090 is like 30% better than an rx 9070

[subtle bison]

i mean ill probably still be GPU bound in this scenario

ik a map to measure CPU performance

[amber hare]

k

[subtle bison]

i get about 7-10fps here, even with RT off lmfao

[amber hare]

if u still have that 7950x3d i would much appreciate it

[compact blaze]

What’s the issue? I’m on 64 bit and was able to load the map fine

How it works is you spawn the map inside of another map

[subtle bison]

maybe my wad is bad?

[subtle bison]

ye but i dont have the maps spawnlist

[weak ermine]

skill issue

[subtle bison]

nor could i load it manually via the console

[modern quest]

i'll be selling it soon along with the rest of my PC

wanna buy it? 😛

[amber hare]

yes

but i cant since ur not in europe

[compact blaze]

Can u show the spawn menu u have?

[amber hare]

or smth near that

[amber hare]

and i aint paying for international shipping

[compact blaze]

On the right

Can I see?

[subtle bison]

omg im blind

[weak ermine]

bruh

[compact blaze]

:3

[subtle bison]

ffs

[compact blaze]

Don’t worry it took me a bit to find it too

[weak ermine]

really skill issue

[subtle bison]

[weak ermine]

who reads description right?

[compact blaze]

I think what you’d prob have to do is capture the scene then create an emission map for each texture to properly light up the scene

[weak ermine]

💔

[compact blaze]

Which means?

[subtle bison]

guh did my video not send

[subtle bison]

you can make stuff emissive with that texture flag

[compact blaze]

Ah ok

[subtle bison]

sprites seem to have some corrupt frames?

[compact blaze]

How does it look with rt off?

[subtle bison]

same issue still exists

[compact blaze]

Maybe it might be a bad wad?

[subtle bison]

also happens to HUD elements

[subtle bison]

i think it has to do with how it generates materials

its on the fly, so it probably uses render targets

[compact blaze]

Hm

Weirddddd

[subtle bison]

remix doesnt like those, even with RT off

[weak ermine]

gmoddoom rtx

(bug edition)

[wispy crest]

hl2rtx decides it wants to reinstall the entire game

I already have it installed wtf is this

[subtle bison]

if you ever mounted hl2rtx to gmod previously, it deletes the .pkg files so hl2rtx doesnt take twice the disk space

steam is probably trying to redownload those

[wispy crest]

yeah, it is

how tf do i tell it to not do that

[subtle bison]

you cant unfortunately, but you can run the game without steam and it should run fine

[wispy crest]

oh ffs

so im just going to have this update paused thing forever

[subtle bison]

you could have steam think its uninstalled
rename hl2rtx to something else temporarily, uninstall it via steam, and then rename it back

then re-add it as a non-steam game

[wispy crest]

I think I'll just reinstall it over night

bc rn im trying to get the health charger working in gmod

[wispy crest]

ok, porting models into source is giving me mental anguish

and I have deemed it impossible

[willow fog]

Issue of skill

[wispy crest]

yes

and lack of very simple explanations

like, I have the model, I just can't get it to work in source

[brittle token]

i crashed when disabling rt in a tf2 map lol

[subtle bison]

how old is your remix build

[brittle token]

shouldn't be too old, i let the launcher re-do all stuff like a day or two ago, just to be safe and use the quick install

[brittle token]

oh, btw, is the blender addon for rtx currently functional? been having some complications with making the game load the stuff, a tutorial would be neat

been trying to make this barricade metallic for a while now

i love how good these maps look out of the box

[subtle bison]

do you have xess available as a upscaler

that will tell you if its the newest

[subtle bison]

#1377738156886982777 message

[brittle token]

yes

[subtle bison]

ye ur up to date then

[brittle token]

strange thing with XeSS. for a frame or so the shadow isnt there, doesnt happen on dlss

[subtle bison]

i mean it doesnt have RR so the shadows in general are going to look worse

[brittle token]

oooh

[brittle token]

hmmm

[weak ermine]

skill issue

[earnest yew]

i find it crazy how we still don't have tf2

💔💔💔

[subtle bison]

i really need to rename that window title lmao

mwr dont exist no more

[subtle bison]

i fixed the vertex explosions in remix finally

so 3dsky is a lot more usable now, but i need to find a way to reduce the flickering

its the 3d sky being culled, remix doesnt like the camera transition

[brittle token]

any idea why some maps have textures that dissapear depending on where i am?

thought it was only on tf2 maps, but it happened on a backrooms map too

just a few steps to the left

[subtle bison]

open the rtx spawnmenu in Utilities

there is a map fixes button

enable that

it only enables it for that map so dont worry about toggling it later

chat i have peaked, i have inverted Ignore Baked Lighting to be on for everything by default, but allow the user to enable it for specific textures. this fixes weird lighting on some props and viewmodels. much better than a engine hook imo

hopefully i can start adding more gmod-specific fixes to remix, not that there is many needed

[subtle bison]

to be specific on what this does, it fixes this issue

[modern quest]

this would be useful for a lot of games

it'd be handy to have as a flag in rtx.conf. to turn it on or off globally

[subtle bison]

i think we already have this?

idk if any other games are like source though, where the majority need it off, but not everything (particles need it)

[modern quest]

isn't that a different setting?

[modern quest]

i recall running into at least one other game that wasn't source based that benefitted from this

maybe it was flatout?

[subtle bison]

seems like it works the same way, just globally

[subtle bison]

i also made it where anything tagged as particles or decals also have baked lighting enabled (particles are monochrome without it)

anyway, i can make this into a PR if needed

[modern quest]

ah okay. good to know then

[brittle token]

thanks, it works, though it looks a bit strange

[subtle bison]

this looks rasterized

some maps have this issue and i got no idea why yet

[subtle bison]

per-texture light settings

no more global light stuff

[weak ermine]

UUUUUUH

BRO

[willow fog]

So you select a texture and it disables baked lighting on that texture only?

[subtle bison]

no, i made it the opposite

everything has baked lighting off by default now, but you can enable it for specific textures

[willow fog]

Oh, I kinda need the opposite of what you did. I asked Nvidia to do it like two years ago and still nothing

[subtle bison]

its already there

in the normal runtime

[willow fog]

(allow baked lighting)

[subtle bison]

that is default remix behavior 💀

its what causes the lighting issues in gmod

[willow fog]

So you select a specific texture and it allows vertex colors on that texture only and nothing else.

That's what I want

[subtle bison]

oh yes then that is what i did

default remix is disable vertex colors on a specific object

[willow fog]

Holy fuck

Two years of Nvidia vs one (1) annoyed Cr.

[subtle bison]

yes vertex lighting is so annoying on viewmodels

and doing engine hooks sucks

[weak ermine]

now physgun has a blue light, not the fucking white

[subtle bison]

guh that was already working

[weak ermine]

oh and this will fix manhacks beam

[subtle bison]

the only issue with this is alpha breaks for a lot of things not tagged, so im going back and doing all of the hl2 particles

[willow fog]

Hell yeah. Because in underground 2, they use vertex colors to bake lighting on the ENTIRE map.
The car neons also use vertex colors on a basic grayscale gradient texture. So unless you mark every single texture as ignore baked, you can't have neons.

[subtle bison]

so this wasnt working before? im pretty sure it did

[weak ermine]

andlooks like life too

[weak ermine]

it was white

[subtle bison]

guh

[weak ermine]

i just always turn vertex lights on 0 bcz its makes models have goofy triangles

[subtle bison]

ye this fixes that

no more rtx_disablevertexlighting (it breaks light updaters anyway)

[weak ermine]

[subtle bison]

it worked a long while ago

actually its quite funny because i used to play gmod with HL2RA assets, then when GMOD RTX came up it was gone now its funny seeing it in HL2 RTX

[wispy crest]

is it possible to combine different captures together

that way I can replace textures piecemeal instead of doing all at once

[subtle bison]

in the blender toolkit yes, but not the official one

[wispy crest]

i die

[compact blaze]

@hasty sonnet do u ever plan on releasing ur cod gun mods for remix?

[hasty sonnet]

i only have 1 dimwitt and it doesnt look good

[subtle bison]

the gallery is the best part of this map if you're into photography, not gonna spoil it

[compact blaze]

I wanna ask with ur tool of turning map lights into remix lights, do u ever plan on making the real time source lights (like the flashlight or dynamic spotlight in portal 2 that can do dynamic shadows) turn into remix spotlights

Like here’s an example of like a real time source light

When put into remix it’s seen nowhere

[subtle bison]

the whole map lights into remix lights idea kind've died since I still havent been able to debug the crashing issues with api lights

[compact blaze]

Ah ok

[subtle bison]

but its still possible to turn those env_projectedmap entities into spot lights ingame

[compact blaze]

Really? How so

[subtle bison]

we can use something like niknaks or another lib to get the entity info for env_projectedmap entities, and then create a basic source spot light entitiy in its place

man i would love to test gmod rtx on linux if the game would run in proton 🙂

@steel lark does the latest version of gmod for you still work? not even rtx, just like gmod vanilla

[subtle bison]

ok i made a alt steam account that doesnt have 600 addons and sure enough the game boots now

radv still runs like ass compared to the windows driver

anyways, 0.7.1 now has a linux archive with all of the needed files and commandline args for steam
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/releases/tag/gmrtx_0.7.1

x64 only for now

[subtle bison]

ok i guess running it with gamescope instead of xwayland helps

[steel lark]

oops i'm in windows now uhh i had some problems with linux so i switched back to windows

i love the launcher tho lol

[winter radish]

RADV used to perform so well, I wonder what happened

[subtle bison]

it was a xwayland issue lol

it runs a lot better than it did a few months ago, close enough to the windows driver, but there is still some graphical bugs that arent fixed

like invisible water

[winter radish]

This happens on P2 RTX as well

[subtle bison]

just rdna4 or all of radv?

I will soon embark on my largest project yet, hla assets in hl2

on a somewhat related note, does anyone have a map with all textures on it

[subtle bison]

@winter radish amdvlk works great on linux lol

fixes the render issues too

RT perf is worse for some reason though

[winter radish]

Than what? Windows?

[subtle bison]

radv

for some reason it sits at 140fps no matter the resolution lol

its not locked or anything

i uncapped gamescope, gmod, and turned off remix vsync

i guess ill try gm_flatgrass and also install the git version of amdvlk

great its making me compile the entirety of llvm 😭

[winter radish]

Ok then RADV must be struggling this generation 😭

[subtle bison]

i take it back, amdvlk is about as decent as windows lol

for rdna4 at least

i might actually move back to linux lol, pretty much all of the tools i need to do assets and also dev work

[wispy crest]

its impossible to show all changes, but here are some smaller props

[delicate crow]

is there anyway to change the version of remix runtime?

[wispy crest]

i was also working on the health and armor chargers

now if I was insane, I would also do every single texture in the game, like walls, floors, etc

[winter radish]

Shockbyte seems to have some good Gmod server prices, maybe I’ll rent that

[wispy crest]

i realized i missed a few props

wow

[subtle bison]

maybe turn down the emissive strength for the lights?

[wispy crest]

yeah

i always need to mess with emissives

what do you think is a good number

[subtle bison]

it depends on the asset

for lights like that, there is no perfect value since it can look out of place depending on the map

but for that screenshot, maybe about 1/2 the brightness

[wispy crest]

man, all these subtle differences do really add up

im addicted to doing this

[subtle bison]

now start authoring your own PBR assets, as that is the next step of the PBR addiction

[wispy crest]

I kind of tried, but its extremely difficult

[subtle bison]

takes practice, eventually you'll get better

[wispy crest]

and im not sure I have all the tools needed to do it

[subtle bison]

there is lots of good free tools, but im using substance painter primarily

[wispy crest]

I tried using Substance 3D Sampler, but couldn't really figure it out

[subtle bison]

sampler is kind've like pbrfusion, where it generates the maps for you, i wouldnt really use that starting out though

[wispy crest]

yeah i noticed

I guess I should get into substance painter

I really should have gotten into it when I started playing VRChat

not only I have these remix props, but I also have my own ambient and impact sound addon

along with using arma 2 footstep sounds

[subtle bison]

@winter radish i noticed another driver bug on windows, looks like indirect bounces are broken with the default settings, it gets fixed if you change it to traceray

[winter radish]

That’s it I’m contacting Vik

[winter radish]

[winter radish]

Also I see you're working on some new XeSS features

[subtle bison]

trying to make it less shit

but i think the reason why optiscaler's implementation is so good is because it uses DLSS inputs

which i would be fine replicating in remix, but im not sure if that counts as a clean implementation since we're hooking off nvngx

so im adding autoexposure, jitter, and others needed for xess directly

i would by lying if i said this wasnt daunting 😅

[winter radish]

I would imagine implementing an entirely new upscaler is hard

[subtle bison]

getting it running was easy, making it look good is another story 🙃

[winter radish]

@subtle bison Side question, what would be more fun to host? Sandbox or TTT?

[subtle bison]

both

[winter radish]

I'm not buying two servers

unless we just alternate once in awhile

[subtle bison]

ye

[winter radish]

@subtle bison Think 15 player size server will be good?

[subtle bison]

sounds good

[winter radish]

The only reason I don't host it local like my Minecraft Servers is because it's such a pain

[subtle bison]

welcome to source engine

[winter radish]

And of course they have no MacOS support for servers so it made if even more difficult

[subtle bison]

dont have a old PC lying around anywhere?

srcds is pretty single threaded so a gmod server would run fine on that

[winter radish]

[subtle bison]

[winter radish]

I don't really see a need, I mean, I'm not gonna ever use it for anything

also im sure its degraded already

Poor old Rosetta getting discontinued anyway

[winter radish]

I mean what about a M2 Mini with Asahi?

Gmod Servers support Linux

Reinstalling Gmod RTX

@subtle bison What addons do I need again?

[wispy crest]

niknak

[subtle bison]

iirc the mod includes it now but yea install it just in case

but i've said it a few times, a lot of the clientside stuff in the compat mod addon simply doesnt run on dedicated servers

or at least errors out

[winter radish]

I mean in testing, some maps will work fine either way

Like TTT Clue for example

Now I haven't tested having multiple players on

[wispy crest]

well if the server is running the client side stuff, it should work

[subtle bison]

no, server only hosts server stuff

[winter radish]

Niknaks fails on the server

[subtle bison]

guh

[wispy crest]

wat

[subtle bison]

wdym niknak fails

[winter radish]

iirc

[wispy crest]

how does it fail

[winter radish]

I'll have to pull up the error log, hold up

@subtle bison~~ Wait is the RTX Remix stuff a custom addon?~~

[subtle bison]

ye

if niknaks aint working, our addon wont work at all

[wispy crest]

idk why niknak wouldnt work

[subtle bison]

same

[winter radish]

@subtle bison RTX Remix addon might be working

:p

Nope, wait, maybe not

map looks good at first glance but then culling bugs out

[subtle bison]

guh the only culling that should be happening is lights

[wispy crest]

u broke it

[winter radish]

flatgrass said otherwise

Gm_bigcity works pretty well

@subtle bison If you want to test it just type RTX into the search bar and look for "A RTX Remix GMod Server"

password is RTX Remix

[weak ermine]

bruh

[lapis delta]

can i join?

[subtle bison]

something is wrong with your game if you're getting any kind of geometry culling, a dedicated server shouldnt break that

ye looks like niknaks doesnt load correctly on MP

ok @winter radish this isnt culling, these are detail textures

[winter radish]

Yeah, it’s open, just limited to 15 players

[subtle bison]

honestly this seems to work fine so far

the sun isnt culling at least lol

[winter radish]

You can tag it and it’ll fix I think

[subtle bison]

ye just letting you know what the actual issue is

[winter radish]

I mean on flat grass it was like the polygons were stretching

Different issue

[subtle bison]

sounds like a 50 series issue

[winter radish]

The sun was culling on flat grass, big city seems to not

Construct was another one

[subtle bison]

ye lights will cull, but geometry should never cull because the engine is patched for it

[winter radish]

Someone should probably ping the server info

[subtle bison]

my game seems to crash after being on the server for 2 mins

not sure what that's about

has happened twice

[winter radish]

Might be an AMD issue

[subtle bison]

guh

[winter radish]

[subtle bison]

singleplayer works fine

[winter radish]

I’ll have to stay on the server for a good chunk and see if I crash

[subtle bison]

ill hook VS to my game and see where it crashes

ye this might be a game issue itself

its not crashing in remix at all

ok so well i guess actually keeping visual studio hooked makes it stable lmao

ok nvm

[wispy crest]

does niknak work on mp on regular gmod

[subtle bison]

nah same issues, craps out if its being ran on any kind of server

i dont think i had the game crashing issues though

[wispy crest]

weird, i wonder why it breaks on mp

[subtle bison]

[wispy crest]

fix it

[subtle bison]

ye sometime

[winter radish]

What map do you guys want the server on?

for sandbox

[wispy crest]

one that you can play with light

[livid marsh]

should i use normal game or the chromium branch

[wispy crest]

do you mean 64 bit?

[weak ermine]

x32 and x64 works fine, but with x64 branch performance higher (in my case it give me 5fps boost 🤑) and hdr maps works normally

[wispy crest]

why the money tongue lmao

[turbid barn]

coems

[winter radish]

@subtle bison what’s the name of that map mall so I can use it for the server, might be a good RTX demonstration

[lapis delta]

coems

🤑

[willow fog]

Yap

[subtle bison]

good lord i think native xess 2 is finally looking better

it only took a week of pain

540p | Xess 2 vs TAAU

the jitter is much more stable because we're now doing motion vectors at the final output resolution instead of the internal resolution

it took a lot of work to get remix to work like this

i think dlss does this natively in its own API but of course there is no way for us to re-use that without losing the ability for xess to get merged

for fun, this is 300p lmao

[winter radish]

Only 60p less than Ultra Performance for 1080p

[subtle bison]

ye im running the game at 900p cuz im game streaming

[modern quest]

what about in motion?
