Garry's Mod

[subtle bison]

still not great, but i think this mostly because of the unstable world geometry hashes in gmod

iirc remix motion vectors depend on those?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/551247351550050353/1389661224957906984/2025-07-01_12-36-24.mp4?ex=68656e5e&is=68641cde&hm=92ebc17ce9810579ffbf16dbfa3c9a10c6e07d18896d0e0b0659e5ac1ec4aecb&

here is a video, it looks pretty poor lol

but keep in mind its 540p and i dont think xess really scales well at this resolution anyway lol

i can do proper 1440p and 4K when i get home in a few hours

[willow fog]

Wonder how dlss would...

Oh right amd user

[modern quest]

it does in most other games

i've played a few like that on my SD

so this still seems like a partial implementation problem unfortunately

but definitely a massive improvement over before ❤️

congrats, and ty for doing this

[subtle bison]

i've added support for everything that xess 2 expects, but something tells me xess 2 just works a lot better on DLSS inputs rather than whatever im providing

too bad its all a black box

my biggest gripe with the native implementation is the amount of aliasing it has in motion, which baffles me since its a temporal solution, so the jitter should be smoothening that out

anyway, hopefully i can figure it out

[brittle token]

i wonder why this map runs so badly

such a neat map at that

running it at dlss' full resolution and it runs the same

the game usually wants to crash upon starting it up, i think windows might be reacting a bit violently to it freezing for a bit

also, found where AgX is on the remix menu, turning it on was like suddently stopping being colorblind lol

[hasty sonnet]

lmao

[subtle bison]

super dense and the maker didn't use any kind of optimizations iirc

gmod rtx on windows xp?
🙂

[willow fog]

how

Why

[subtle bison]

why not

[willow fog]

How is vulkan even on xp?

[subtle bison]

software renderer

[willow fog]

ah

[subtle bison]

that took a lot of work on its own tho, the runtime was not meant to work on XP

[willow fog]

No wonder

[subtle bison]

let the insanity begin

rip, looks like the modifed kernel doesnt have everything to run modern gmod

maybe i can try rtcw

[lament quartz]

you should, im curious

[subtle bison]

still working on it

rtcw at least gets remix to create the rtx-remix folder, but instantly crashes after that, i think this is more of a bridge issue though

x64 dx11 games seem to work fine via dxvk so i think we're just running into issues with the modified kernel

[livid rapids]

Is that OneCoreAPI

[subtle bison]

ye

surprised ultrakill has a decent enough frame rate lmao

[subtle bison]

looks like this is actually an error from the remix runtime

ill try suplimenting the dll from my win11 install

[subtle bison]

modern dxvk works fine with d3d9 games, so im gonna have to figure out where that call is in remix

so in therory i should be able to get remix working

looks like that call is only there for checking hw gpu scheduling

its unique to remix, but i should hopefully be able to disable that

we must rtx on windows xp

[quasi blaze]

i tried to test that on a VM for windows XP but i can't get through a FREAKING annoying product key part

so what did i do about it?

i just gave up

[subtle bison]

just google the product key?

[quasi blaze]

i tried but it keeps saying invalid

multiple times it got so frustrating

i use virtualbox btw

and the operating system was windows XP professional (X64)

[quasi blaze]

bruh

it broke when i left it off for a while

LIKE

what does this even mean?

when i close this it just keeps restarting with the same error same cycle

OH right

i cleaned up my storage and accidently deleted the ISO file

just gonna start over

i finally went through the product key part

nice

[weak ermine]

uh

is it rtx remix server

[quasi blaze]

yeah i just got frustrated sorry about that

it is technically an rtx remix server technically so i might've gotten off topic lol

[subtle bison]

progress 👀

removing the nvngx call worked

game wanted to run at more than 4K wtf

HOLY SHIT

RTX REMIX ON WINDOWS XP

@winter radish

it will probably take a year to render a frame ingame, judging by other raster games

ngl i wanna make a radv wrapper for XP now lmao
just need a high throughput interface to send vulkan calls to

[livid rapids]

Hell naw they got Error 2 now

I'm waiting for Error 3

[subtle bison]

havent been able to open the remix menu at all, i assume whatever api imgui uses for that is not present in XP lol

x32 bridge games still dont work, anyone else know any other x64 native games?

i just wanna render one 3D frame 😭

[half viper]

I hate being forced to redownload my workshop addons

[subtle bison]

i copied my workshop folder from windows but i guess gmod said

steam recognized it fine tho

[wispy crest]

works on my machine :)

[brittle token]

anybody having almost constant crashes upon finishing loading up a map? at this point i've almost just accepted that most of the time it will blow up with those, and that booting up into one is a blessing

[lament quartz]

woah, the game looks so much better now

[livid rapids]

this happened to me a really long time ago when we just got the remix runtime and I went back to using the portal rtx version

Never happened again

[wispy crest]

this happens, then I try it again and it works

sometimes I press launch and the game instantly crashes, next try, it works fine

[subtle bison]

for me it's dependent on the map you load or what addons you have

i dont deal with it very often myself, on x64 at least

[weak ermine]

in workshop already exist volumetric clouds shader

but

[brittle token]

as it crashed it somehow spiked the intel integrated gpu too lol

[subtle bison]

🙂

hooking the lua process on startup, should let our clientside addon work anywhere (multiplayer) if this works correctly

[winter radish]

Gmod RTX server is still on for testing

Good thing I did a hosting website for that, lol
My Minecraft servers are down thanks to a power outage

[meager oar]

damn this with cascaded shadows and volumetric fog addons will luk good

[subtle bison]

got the ip?

cant find it in my server list

[earnest yew]

join a hl2 rp server where its 1 tb of downloads

[subtle bison]

pls no

i just wanna make sure my hooks work 😭

so close

hooks work, but its not loading the addon

good news it works perfectly on servers that host the addon

[earnest yew]

hmm

dont code mods not work in other servers

only visual ones

[subtle bison]

if they are clientside it should work fine

[earnest yew]

make it so it hooks into the game

dll injection uber hack style

[subtle bison]

ye its supposed to be doing that

look at the vid lol

[earnest yew]

ive got bigger fish to fry

[winter radish]

51.79.46.198:20752

[subtle bison]

oh wow it works

but a lot of stuff doesnt work lol

mostly because of cheat cvars

@winter radish is your server hosting the addon?

[subtle bison]

oops i forgot to include niknaks, thats why it doesnt work

[winter radish]

[subtle bison]

bruh

[winter radish]

Which addon specifically?

[subtle bison]

the remixbinary addon

[winter radish]

It’s in the addons folder

[subtle bison]

ok well the fact niknaks being broken in general in MP is not helping me here

so i guess ill have to fix that before i start proxying it in the injector

[lapis delta]

it would be more cool if you combined this with restir

[subtle bison]

ye im trying to, its defaulting to importance sampled atm lol

[livid rapids]

that is the challenge

[lapis delta]

but this is already cool!

damn, are you and Frisser up to something?

[subtle bison]

its been on my mind for a while, just started tackling it today

[wispy crest]

[willow fog]

Y'all taking lsd without me?

[subtle bison]

yep this is totally working correctly

[weak ermine]

looks like this gmod realism videos

[lament quartz]

What am I looking at

[subtle bison]

the beginnings of sharc

[lament quartz]

Sharc? What does this do

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/NVIDIA-RTX/SHARC

[compact blaze]

By that logic half life alyx kills the art style

Or just, any mod for half life 2

Or does it still keep that same art style cause no pbr

I get genuine criticisms of remix on nvidia’s pr side cause nvidia kinda stink

But the tech itself the core is awesome

[subtle bison]

looks like im gonna have to take a break on this, the SHARC sdk uses CUDA-specific functions without any slang examples 🙂

i might be able to convert them myself at one point but this is a lot of work

[compact blaze]

Wait isn’t sharec supposed to be an nrc alternative for other cards?

[subtle bison]

ye

i think

[compact blaze]

So why does it seemingly require cuda to fully work 💔

[subtle bison]

i dont think it specifically requires cuda, just running into 1 function that uses cuda oddly

sharcWarpLevelHash

ok nvm about all of that, stupid claude hallucinated

[lapis delta]

so the work is still going on?

[weak ermine]

💔

[subtle bison]

ye, but im not a graphics programmer (or even a programmer) so dont expect me to perform any miracles

it would be better if nvidia did this officially lmao

[lapis delta]

https://tenor.com/view/shiroko-blue-archive-dancing-chibi-shiroko-gif-8428774011917980617

Did those options pop out by default or did u just rename nrc to sharec

[subtle bison]

nah its new stuff, the dropdown box is just bugged

[winter radish]

[lapis delta]

is this with a sharc?

[compact blaze]

What is this??

[subtle bison]

nah, im burned out with that already, focusing on gmod work for now

[subtle bison]

srcds, a dedicated server for gmod (or other source games)

[lapis delta]

really?

[subtle bison]

ye its costing me lots of tokens with barely any progress lol

[lapis delta]

Claude has become too greedy

[compact blaze]

You should probably take this as a sign to learn coding in general and use that token money for proper courses if you really need it

[subtle bison]

i tell myself this every day lmao

[subtle bison]

i dont really blame the AI, most of my success comes from guiding the AI to what it needs to do per step. If i dont know jack about the subject material, im not going to really get anywhere

[haughty goblet]

Special hashing is cool but also really confusing. It seems relatively not covered much, it’s not a surprise AI is struggling.

[quasi blaze]

@subtle bison btw does gm_construct have the proper lighting with remix yet?

[subtle bison]

the 3d skybox on the original map is in front of the distant light (sun). so map lighting technically works, but you cant see it. the gm_construct_rtx map fixes this since the skybox is moved to a different spot

there is no way to fix the original map since all area portals are forced open with our culling fixes

[subtle bison]

looks like there is a limit to how much I can get working on the client-side with niknaks on servers that dont host it

pretty much nothing works lmao

even if niknaks loads fine, it needs access to server resources it doesnt have

everything seems to work when a server hosts the fixed version of niknaks

also it looks like gm_bigcity is a very unstable map lol

[winter radish]

I wanted to switch the map today

😭

[winter radish]

What if I just switched it to a horror map

[steel lark]

gmod horror yikes

[wispy crest]

loud stalker scream

[brittle token]

gmod horror can be good, but usually when it is, it doesnt call itself a horror map lol

[winter radish]

Construct Beta 13 be like

@subtle bison I changed the server map to a more buggy one

[brittle token]

before everyone and their mothers knew it was a horror map, yeah, but it's mostly about ambiance, most prominent example of the vibe'd be gm_shambles

i wonder how many people it caught off-guard

[winter radish]

Hmmmm, maybe I should change the server to that

RTX would help the dark ambience a lot

[brittle token]

something tells me it's not gonna work out of the box, but who knows, maybe it will

[winter radish]

I’ll test it

also, love the new Steam performance hud

[winter radish]

seems a lot works, the street lights are the main problem

but it's not all bad, just makes it seem the street lights are motion activated, lmao

[brittle token]

nice

[brittle token]

oh no, LOD lights 😨

[winter radish]

If you want to see for yourself, the password to the server is RTX Remix

[brittle token]

i suppose i only need the map installed right?

or a something else?

[winter radish]

I think the server would download it for you if you don't have it

but other than that, vanilla Gmod

also to find the server, just type RTX Remix into the search bar and it'll be the only one, lol

[brittle token]

AAA

switching to camera made all the lights go out lol

flashlight doesn't exist

that.. is incredibly weird

[winter radish]

Yeah, I saw the same issue

[brittle token]

i have no idea of how to fix the lights' consistency, makes me wish captures could be merged

[winter radish]

why is the sky like that

[brittle token]

i have 0 idea

[winter radish]

mine looked normal, so I don't know about that bug

hold up, lemme hop on real quick

[brittle token]

maybe some sort of color banding due to the eye exposure being a bit harsh? i didn't know that could happen

on reshade? yeah, not here

[winter radish]

oh wait, i do have the same issue, just more subtle

[brittle token]

kinda makes the whole place purple

[winter radish]

I wonder what would happen if I mounted HL2 RTX

also I'm getting like 30fps on this map, lmao

[brittle token]

im getting like 25 on a 3080 ti lol

[winter radish]

I'm on the 5060 Ti

[brittle token]

purple looks quite nice ngl

[winter radish]

map is creepy ngl

[winter radish]

what settings you using?

[brittle token]

wait a sec, did you have frame gen on?

[winter radish]

nope

[brittle token]

oh alright

[winter radish]

I'm running at higher settings than you

maybe the 3080 Ti takes a bigger hit with the Transformer model?

it was designed for 40 series and above because of FP8

[brittle token]

i setted it at DLSS full resolution and it only went down like, 5 fps

[winter radish]

Might just be a map bottleneck then

@subtle bison Please fix /jk

[brittle token]

yep lol

cursed ambiance, cursed performance

i tell ya, them rays are haunted

ghosts of their past bounces, despite being gone, they linger on

[winter radish]

RayReconstruction smear be like

[brittle token]

damn, lighting got a bit scary all of the sudden

OK THAT IS WAY SCARIER

oh no

[winter radish]

for those type of glitches, you can just tag it with "ignore texture" iirc

and it'll fix it

[brittle token]

ooh, lemme try

turning it into a decal texture also seems to do the trick

i really had to spawn the lamp in the only hole

cmon

[winter radish]

I forgot lamps would work

[brittle token]

ok, something tells me the problem is this little ui text sign

seems to be grabbing some other thingy

is it me or is it just 1 bounce?

[subtle bison]

i fixed a lot manually before, but these mmod smoke ones didnt work

these tf2 particles definitely did not work before

tf2 only uses spritecard shaders

[winter radish]

Thinking of switching the server to Zombie Survival

[wispy crest]

oh I don't use the mmod stuff or tf2

I havent been able to play rtx in nearly a week, I'm losing it

all the maps from the map pack run at an ok framerate, since they're not very detailed and/or big

[winter radish]

lights are very buggy tho

[glossy mauve]

normal gmod screenies because i can't figure out how to get the mw weapons working on rtx ;w;

[turbid barn]

black textures?

Game setup - Parameters tuning - heuristics
disable last texture stage

• you can make enhanced assets for MWB or use them directly from MW2019

[glossy mauve]

nope they just won't even load the models

but ty I'll take that advice

[subtle bison]

guh mw weapons work

what addon are you using

[wispy crest]

one that doesn't work

[compact blaze]

vertext explosions ❤️

[subtle bison]

do you have the 3d sky enabled?

[subtle bison]

the only two mw addons that i know of are the arc9 ones and mw base
both work

[compact blaze]

weird, loaded back into the map and vertext explosions weren't there anymore

[wispy crest]

will we ever be able to fix 3d skybox

I say we like we are a coordinated team when it's just CR

[subtle bison]

its a remix bug that happens on camera cuts. the 3d_sky has its own camera so when it culls, remix freaks out. I did fix it but i cant hide the camera cut so you always get a brief flash
#1116089843479498782 message

[wispy crest]

all I do is spend hours and hours replacing textures

which I guess is something, but doesn't help with development of the remix

[subtle bison]

i could always use detailed bug reports on github 🙂

would make issue tracking much easier

[subtle bison]

this will get included in the next remix/gmod remix fixes 2 release

[wispy crest]

here's a weird bug, on the stage maps that use to lay out all my props for textures, it like, explodes and a bunch of planes go everywhere until you spawn a prop then it fixes itself for a bit

[subtle bison]

so vertex explosions?

what stage map specifcially?

[wispy crest]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1168102267

these

it happens more on the large stage than small

these maps are perfect for capturing assets as they are extremely simple and do not clutter captures

[compact blaze]

map i loaded into had the same textures as this

maybe a connection?

[wispy crest]

the lighting is a bit weird, but that doesn't really matter

no connection, this is the default gmod plastic plane texture

unless you are saying that that texture specifically is prone to vertex explosion

then maybe

[subtle bison]

@wispy crest did you use the big stage or normal stage map, also what prop specifically produces the vertex explosion?

[wispy crest]

on big stage it happens frequently

no prop causes it, but spawning a prop will reset it

[subtle bison]

no there is no specific textures causing this

[wispy crest]

I'm not home rn so I can't show you specifically

[subtle bison]

no issues on my end

[wispy crest]

odd

[subtle bison]

whoever wants to try it, this is a in-progress remix build that has the skybox vertex explosion fixes, see if it fixes your vertex explosion issues
(for x64: goes into ./bin/win64/ )
(for x32: goes into ./bin/.trex/ )

just back up your old remix dll first

Also highly recommend using hammer++

[wispy crest]

i have used hammer before, but not in any real capacity

[compact blaze]

Please never touch actual hammer

Heard it doesn’t even have an actual gizmo for you to use??

[wispy crest]

the fact that valve made hl2 using hammer is astonishing

[compact blaze]

Remember when they said they had to literally plant a virus on people’s computers to use all of their fans’ horse power to compile map lighting

[subtle bison]

i remember seeing that lmao

vrad is a blessing and a curse

[wispy crest]

it wasnt fans'

they just did it on all of the computers in the office

they basically built a gaint botnet to compute lighting and run exes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGJZ9p_Lp8Y

[compact blaze]

ahhhhhhhh

ok that makes a lot more sense

[wispy crest]

what you are implying would be so illegal

[compact blaze]

Hacking into people’s computer from around the world without their consent as a botnet, that’s what I assumed anyways

[willow fog]

Ehhhh. It's not really a virus. It's bad because it lets anyone run an exe on all the office computers. It would have been an issue if there was a bad actor within the offices but if they're already inside then going through the hassle of executing code on every computer is not worth it.

no no im trying to say i assumed valve did it for everyone across the entire world that had valve software installed

Me when Kim has had enough of my shit

[dull comet]

half life source resized maps

when resetted the map freaks out

fov freaks out

@subtle bison

[dull comet]

also can anyone say abt the incomtinble addons

that blocks RTX?

[dull comet]

flashlight is broken

[dull comet]

sky is missing and water is a bşt different

guns missing parts

[subtle bison]

what installation method did you use?

[dull comet]

xenthio's quick exe installer

i started it p in an empty folder

dragged the folders that came as outcome in a copy of gmod

replacing others

flashlight

[subtle bison]

uhh you shouldn't need to do that last part

quick install does everything you need to run the game

[dull comet]

oh

will this fis the issues

[dull comet]

flashlşght staying on the spt during fast movement
some materials not showing up
blood splatter and bulletshots being a black squares
water being ugly

[subtle bison]

these sound like the rtx.conf being deleted or replaced, but yes most of those issues should be fixed

the broken gravity gun model is just from that hl2rtx weapon replacement addon

[dull comet]

thanks a lot i will inform you later about procress

uhhh when i launched the way u said it crashed

i have Nvidia 4070 RTX

and intel core i7 14th gen

log files

[subtle bison]

does it crash every time? it will do that once every few launches

ah the runtime is actually crashing

[dull comet]

i moved the folder to a different place

one drive being stubborn

[subtle bison]

yeah onedrive would break a lot of that stuff

[dull comet]

now lemme start and send u a ss

[subtle bison]

i think you enabled tools mode in the launcher

[dull comet]

yes?

[subtle bison]

yeah that is for particle editing, i would turn that off

[dull comet]

ok lemme try againn

do i need to instal again or launch?

[subtle bison]

just launch

[dull comet]

crashed

[subtle bison]

try opening it again

it doesnt look like it crashed looking at the log

[runic gale]

turn off Medal

[subtle bison]

if it's still not working, switch to the x64 branch and install again

[runic gale]

Medal App would cause issues with Gmod RTX

[dull comet]

@subtle bison

here is the log files as yu wished

[subtle bison]

i would look at the message sent before your log files

[hasty sonnet]

no man would crash this many times

[dull comet]

thanks a lot

[dull comet]

some parts of the map freask out

any suggestion?

[subtle bison]

uhhh

i would probably disable all workshop addons like i did in the video

also turn off the developer mode

if it works then, you need to find what addon is causing rendering issues

these are the incompatible ones we know so far
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2?tab=readme-ov-file#incompatible-addons

[dull comet]

none of them are downloaded

also that THING

it appears everywhere

@subtle bison

[subtle bison]

vertex explosions? also it doesnt look like you've tried the game with all addons disabled

[dull comet]

lemm try the same

also this is before the addons disabled

[subtle bison]

is it just half life source maps that have this issue?

[dull comet]

yes

chrome texture freaking out

[subtle bison]

ye half life source uses some cursed texture magic that remix doesnt like, no fixing that

[dull comet]

yes its fxed

w no addonsbut how do i find the exact addon

[hasty sonnet]

vertexplosion

[dull comet]

cuz none of the broken addons u send me in link was in my gmod

[subtle bison]

you'd have to test each one

if you do find it, let me know so i can add it to the list

its probably just one though, most addons work fine with remix

[dull comet]

ok well any type of addons due ur experience

for an example (this type of addons probabbşy casues this)

i heard that playermodels are safe

if they are really working on og gmod

[hasty sonnet]

cr do you think he got that uhhh chunked mesh rendering?

[subtle bison]

the old chunked mesh rendering never did this 💀

[hasty sonnet]

true

[dull comet]

this only happens at stairs

[subtle bison]

since its vertex explosions it would have to be something that modifies rendering. HUDs, visual effect mods

[dull comet]

with holding HLS weapons

[subtle bison]

oh so a different weapon works fine?

[dull comet]

thanks
does bob enter?

[hasty sonnet]

kid can you try checking what textures the vertexplosions are

[dull comet]

mostly yes

[subtle bison]

textures dont really correlate with vertex explosions

[dull comet]

all black
the endings of explosion is allways random, mostly blood textures

specially ailen blood from HLS

[hasty sonnet]

set the blood to decal

[dull comet]

i tried every setting

lemme try agan

[hasty sonnet]

RELEASE THE CAT RAPPA

[dull comet]

also, does viewbob do that?

[hasty sonnet]

fuck no

[subtle bison]

no

can you give me the map name? I wanna test this myself

c1a2b?

[dull comet]

lemme see

[dull comet]

c1a2a

on HLS

[subtle bison]

dang i was close lol

[dull comet]

in HLS R its hls03amrl

which got the exact problem

[subtle bison]

HLS R?

[dull comet]

resized

and no need to see HLS, in normal construct, the ladders and dark spaces are a good example

[subtle bison]

so it happens in normal maps too?

[dull comet]

yes

near ladders

also while holding HLS guns it happens the most

[hasty sonnet]

is the guns from an addon?

[dull comet]

no

HLS mounted guns

allow me to list all problens on HLS maps if you wish

[subtle bison]

seems fine to me?

if its only happen when addons are enabled, its not the guns themselves

the best way to find it, is disabling all and enabling one at a time

[dull comet]

hm, it happend at hazard course at most i am triying disabling them

rncurrently

well this is with the every addons

i will send the link of after deleting the addons

that are known to cause this bug

no addons and works just fine,

Playermodel Releated Addons are safe

BINGP

BINGO* i found it

@subtle bison

thats the reason

every step in HLS playermodel is probabbly going up cuz there are poor player vlip brushes
making the first person body render too fast

and cause problems

@hasty sonnet

can u guys see?

[hasty sonnet]

ye

either get another playermodel mod or give up

[dull comet]

welp also a question

i alr got HL2 HLS mounted

is the mount HL2 RTX

safe?

[wispy crest]

this addon for hl2 rtx weapons is broken

the physgun does not render properly

[dull comet]

i alr deleted it

[wispy crest]

I found one on the hl2 workshop that works great, but i don't know how ot get it to work in gmod

[dull comet]

HL2 getting mounted

[subtle bison]

its a bit buggy but it should work

[dull comet]

also i found the addon

[wispy crest]

what

[dull comet]

whatever forget it my bad

[wispy crest]

mounting hl2rtx does not change the weapons

or a lot of models

I have gone out of my way to do it myself

but I can't get the hl2 workshop version of the hl2 rtx weapons to replace the sweps in gmod

so i just use the one of the gmod workshop, its just the physgun and it doesnt bother me

plus i already added all the materials to that addon to make it look pretty

[dull comet]

hm

whats the reason that the physcguns textures are broken?

[wispy crest]

idk

[dull comet]

lets open up the mod and see that

maybe 8K?

[wispy crest]

one addon works fine, the other doesn't

none of these textures are 8k lol

[dull comet]

i mean whats the thing

specially makes THAT part

the tip part gone

not to forget that the magnum too

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison what do i miss out on removing multiple stage texture factor blending

[wispy crest]

yes I don't know why it does that

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3447181833&searchtext=RTX

this addon however, renders them perfectly fine in gmod rtx

but they do not replace sweps

[subtle bison]

not much iirc, i think disabling it fixes the mw base weapons

i think its off by default in 0.7.1

[hasty sonnet]

maybe i should revisit the cherry blossom project

[wispy crest]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3513333645&searchtext=RTX

[subtle bison]

the wha now

[wispy crest]

i did fine this though, so now i can do this for gmod

[hasty sonnet]

its sad now, nobody is releasing mods for remix now

(gmod)

[wispy crest]

im making them, im just not releasing them lol

mostly because I feel like they aren't finished, or I could improve them

[wispy crest]

the weapons I could release, but with the physgun and the revolver not rendering properly, I don't feel like its a finished product

[hasty sonnet]

oh yeah the fucking front of the physgun

[subtle bison]

same for me with the hl2 mmod PBR stuff lol

i need to release that shit

[hasty sonnet]

revolver took the same path as its dad

[wispy crest]

I think I could release the zombie corpses and such

[hasty sonnet]

CR 2.5 billion years ago: When its ready, its released.

[dull comet]

it changes the corpses, textures and door models right?

[subtle bison]

fr

[dull comet]

like in ravenholm

[wispy crest]

no

[subtle bison]

yes except the corpses

[wispy crest]

doors are changed?

[hasty sonnet]

release it now, no exceptions.

[dull comet]

they have an addon for themselves

[subtle bison]

they should, i dont think they're skinned?

[dull comet]

in ravenholm part of RTX remix

[wispy crest]

I can't figure out doors to save my life

[dull comet]

they got extra 3d models taped in themselves

[dull comet]

my fav door got a buff

[subtle bison]

time to find out

[dull comet]

idk why have a fav door but yes it did

[wispy crest]

I attempted to do model replacement in the tool kit for the health and suit chargers, but I geniunely couldn't figure it out, even using the toolkit documentation and tutorials

I think they are unstable hashes

[subtle bison]

ye prob

[dull comet]

do i need to install the rtx again?

or just mount and launch

[subtle bison]

just mount

[hasty sonnet]

cr you gotta find out what the fuck is going on with gmhl2_ravenholm

[subtle bison]

it will do a lot of stuff to make it mount

[wispy crest]

a lot of the model material replacements i've done could probably be model replacements, but I think its safer to just reskin the already new models from HLA or HL2:RA

so I don't have to worry about hashes

[dull comet]

HL2 RTX uses some HLA stuff

barancle for an example

[wispy crest]

they are holdovers

but I did more than hl2 rtx does

[dull comet]

respect

will they make a model for cheap male citizen model?

[hasty sonnet]

CR the map crashes when i load in

[wispy crest]

this was about 200 or so props I believe

while I think a lot of these are replaced in the hl2 rtx mounting, I wanted to do it without relying on mounting

[dull comet]

im planning to release some assets i retextured mylsef as .blend file

[hasty sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/tgwtg-that-guy-with-the-glasses-doug-walker-point-computer-gif-17022655

[dull comet]

will that work may i ask?

[wispy crest]

what do you mean

[dull comet]

i will send this server my own upscale textures

[subtle bison]

i dont see this on the workship, give link

[dull comet]

is that allowed

[wispy crest]

uhhh idk

[hasty sonnet]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3252884583

[wispy crest]

probably?

[hasty sonnet]

i do have all the dependencies for this map installed

[subtle bison]

oh god what the hell is this pack

[wispy crest]

I think it could go in asset creation?

[hasty sonnet]

its from 2014

[wispy crest]

but discord has a stupid file limit

[subtle bison]

it doesnt help that i have like 600 addons, this will kill my game lmfao

[wispy crest]

so I think its better to release somewhere else, then link it

[hasty sonnet]

it only doesnt work on ravenholm dawg

nova prospekt is fine

[subtle bison]

but i have to download this whole ass addon anyway

[wispy crest]

hl2 maps already work, why are you using an addon for it

[subtle bison]

its like a sandbox version of them i guess?

[hasty sonnet]

im not removing all the AI multiple times

and waiting for levels to individually load

[subtle bison]

wdym individually?

does it combine them?

oh it does

ye my game crashes

but its not caused by remix

[hasty sonnet]

then what

[subtle bison]

idk, its probably because we're using dx 70 level rendering lmao

which is deprecated anyways

[wispy crest]

is it because its forcing hdr?

[subtle bison]

nah HDR maps work fine

my guess its a specific entity or prop causing it but i have no real idea, i cant really investigate it

no one has debug headers for gmod except rubat

[wispy crest]

oh wait he merged a bunch of maps?

[hasty sonnet]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=336735669&searchtext=ravenholm this map doesnt have everything despite it being marketed as one

[wispy crest]

people lie

[hasty sonnet]

look at is this ravenholm to you?

[subtle bison]

hl2rtx maps use hidden anchors, which is why the grass is missing in the 1st one, but showing in the 2nd

[hasty sonnet]

im gonna force you to learn hammer and put the grass into the second map

[subtle bison]

i mean we already have a anchor mesh thing as part of the compat mod

turn off enhancements, it should show where you spawned

[wispy crest]

I wish I could have environmental textures without mounting hl2 rtx

[subtle bison]

just seperate the replacements from the hl2rtx mod?

if you're familiar with .usda formats, its not too hard

[hasty sonnet]

it didnt spawn

[subtle bison]

it can be done with a reext editor

[hasty sonnet]

should i respawn and show where i spawn and mark it?

[subtle bison]

do this

rtx_marker_list

it will tell you where it is

[hasty sonnet]

=== Map Marker Markers ===
map_spawn_point: ID=1227430038, Pos=-3642.189941 -453.209015 -3537.000000

now what

[subtle bison]

and then use
sv_cheats 1
setpos 316.598999 -31.989901 -3313.000000

[dull comet]

HLS water textures

not rendering

[subtle bison]

you gotta turn off enhancements 💀

its hidden by default

[subtle bison]

ok then turn off RT

[subtle bison]

if its still invisible then something is breaking the texture

💀

what if you do rtx_marker_respawn

[subtle bison]

if that doesnt work, try disabling all addons

oh neat

[hasty sonnet]

what do we do with it now?

[subtle bison]

make a capture, attach stuff to it in the toolkit

[hasty sonnet]

i had enough of omniverse bro

[subtle bison]

[wispy crest]

i dont because im kinda dumb

[half viper]

I can't wait to get my 5070 ti

[hasty sonnet]

why cant we set the position to the player

[wispy crest]

info_player_start

[subtle bison]

because that would break anchored replacements

the marker is meant for map edits

[dull comet]

the mirror texture

is a ms paint text

do i need to get worried abt it

or is it a placeholder?

[subtle bison]

placeholder, i dont think 0.7.1 included them

[wispy crest]

im always scared of ms paint

[hasty sonnet]

i meant this

[subtle bison]

delete the old base_mod folder here and extract the new one from the archive

[dull comet]

thanks

[subtle bison]

huh, i dont get what you're asking for

[dull comet]

prb about the info_player_start being a cube

and being visible to players

[wispy crest]

its like that for remix

[hasty sonnet]

i moved the cube

nothing happened

[subtle bison]

the marker spawns where any info_player_start is

it only chooses one per map though

[hasty sonnet]

theres only 1 marker mf

[subtle bison]

yes because you only need one per map

[hasty sonnet]

=== Map Marker Markers ===
custom_marker_593: ID=-960964437, Pos=4526.227539 -2745.867920 -3767.968750

I MEAN THERE IS ONLY ONE THE ONE I ADDED

[subtle bison]

then that map is doing something cursed i guess?

i know it works fine on normal ravenholm

[willow fog]

Holy fucking shit

It's Kasane Teto

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison is DLSS better than XeSS

[subtle bison]

yes

100x yes

[hasty sonnet]

when will you fix HDRI for transformer

[subtle bison]

never, because i dont have an nvidia gpu to test with atm

[hasty sonnet]

what gpu do you have rn

[subtle bison]

wasnt there also a new transformer model that fixed it?

[subtle bison]

RX 9070

[hasty sonnet]

Transformer type D doesnt do shit

[wispy crest]

dlss is epic

[hasty sonnet]

CR must fix la transformer model D

[wispy crest]

we should lock CR up until he fixes everything, ever

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison you cant skull emoji it

[subtle bison]

sure i can

[subtle bison]

ty, i will keep myself safe

[wispy crest]

given enough time, CR will cure cancer

[hasty sonnet]

through remixing

[subtle bison]

then the government will euthanize me

[subtle bison]

mili

[wispy crest]

"yeah i put the cancer cure in a .usda file"

[hasty sonnet]

gone angels

gmod rtx got project moon'd

[dull comet]

is it

good or bad

GPU is giving it soul

[hasty sonnet]

mid

[wispy crest]

its supposed to

you are using the card for what it was made for

[wispy crest]

can you show me how this could possible be done

is there any documentation

[dull comet]

also same when its set as decal

[wispy crest]

what am i even looking at

[dull comet]

idk

blood decal going crazy

[weak ermine]

new born from st2🤑

[dull comet]

now we are going brrrr

[dull comet]

ah piss

[near tartan]

Bullet Holes

[subtle bison]

@willow fog

the raw framebuffer stuff is a little too much to add atm, but im working on native HDR support

i dont have PQ or HLG added yet so it looks a bit washed out

[subtle bison]

these HDR modes will still give you extended ranges for reshade

even without a HDR display

wow it works (idk if snipping tool downconverts it back to SDR)

[subtle bison]

HLG and PQ

PQ looks like it has some banding issues? doesnt seem to be visible on the screenshot tho

this video should be in HDR

i just realized it didn't capture the HDR debug hud ugh

the HDR looks ok on my phone

[willow fog]

CR just

does things.

[steel lark]

wow

nice

depth buffer?

[subtle bison]

ye that is next

[steel lark]

did that individual texture customizable lights update get released?

that's a lot of adjectives oops

[subtle bison]

i had to revert it, it was making remix crash a lot

i might add it back though

[steel lark]

ah bummer that's something i really wanted but it's alright

[subtle bison]

hdr screenshot, i hope discord supports this

welp guess it doesnt

the highlights are so bright lmao

[subtle bison]

fixed the banding with HDR10, but the HDRIs do not play well lmao

[compact blaze]

looks cool as hell but lmao

[subtle bison]

that specific HDRI is the only one to make remix freak out like that

i got no idea why

i think HDR is just amplifying weird issues with the rendering pipeline in remix

[wispy crest]

if hdr10 is so good wheres hdr11

[willow fog]

Calm down boy

You'll get it eventually

[wispy crest]

oh i guess theres hdr10+

[steel lark]

it's the only one that gets black squares with transformer

[subtle bison]

them hdris be misbehaving 🙀

[onyx ridge]

oh also how's linux support work exist thingie

[subtle bison]

since setting up the launcher in proton/wine is a pain, i made a linux archive

you just extract it over your existing gmod install

[brittle token]

asheville 💥 (map so detailed im actually thankful it didn't crash my gmod lol)

not sure what's causing this tho

[subtle bison]

rasterization?

[brittle token]

supposedly rt is on

[subtle bison]

ye but there is aliasing and a lack of any RT lighting lol

could be an entity or specific model remix doesnt like

[brittle token]

disabling it only changes a few things

[subtle bison]

ye its probably some remix-specific dxvk things, RT is not active

a few maps do this and i dont know what the cause is

[brittle token]

source + remix spaghetti

Too Bad!

[wispy crest]

that video is amazing

[brittle token]

i wonder how common of a practice it is to leave comments like that lol

[wispy crest]

very

[keen rivet]

Does remix have hdr monitor support now

Man I wish I could afford a hdr monitor

[weak ermine]

and after these words bro buying skibidi toilet cosmetic

[dull comet]

3d skybox going crakhead mode

[wispy crest]

the common skybox table

[hasty sonnet]

fun fact @wispy crest tried to sacrifice me to that

[wispy crest]

I did NOT

[dull comet]

someone fix this

also 3d skybox isint working too

killing the reason that HLS exists

[hasty sonnet]

3d skybox is bugged for remix

thats why its disabled stoopid

[dull comet]

then disable it fully

why add a table?

[hasty sonnet]

mf we disabled it automatically

said table is confusingly there sometimes for some apparent reason

[dull comet]

interesting

the thing that makes it even more interesting that its actually dhadered too

i was exepting it to be more buggy

[weak ermine]

"we"

bro literally did nothing

[dull comet]

slow down pal

i aint killing you for that shit

[weak ermine]

"i"

[hasty sonnet]

The rapping cat.

im only human after all

i will make 2.5 billion mistakes

[weak ermine]

yeah bro

[dull comet]

https://tenor.com/view/im-only-human-after-all-rag-n-bone-gif-27601456

[weak ermine]

fart sound

[dull comet]

i felt the exact sound you are talking about

in the moment i saw this message

[subtle bison]

ye its getting there

[wispy crest]

we dont know why the table is there

it is a mystery

im sure the guys working on hl2 rtx could tell us, but its not their place or job to do so

[subtle bison]

its most definitely a bug with the replacement in one of the .usda files
