@subtle bison

[weak ermine]

the fuck is avif💔

[lapis delta]

gif version

[weak ermine]

thx

[lapis delta]

you're welcome

[subtle bison]

this is unironically peak

[hasty sonnet]

its just like NRC....

absolute ass

the RVC was done wrong so its on me

https://youtu.be/G_JfKOjwzwo

[lapis delta]

i changed my opinion towards NRC over time, because no matter how hard i tried to find advantages in this type of indirect lighting, it sucks so much in quality that it’s hard to even imagine

even reflections are pixelated 💀

like bruuuh

[weak ermine]

more like fucked

they're mess of colors💔

[lapis delta]

ah, thanks for reminding me about how it can decide to turn off automatically

nrc didn't like something and he just takes and switches off

[lapis delta]

oh, i remembered about "disco time"

when it just starts randomly, without any reason, going through all the colors

[weak ermine]

i always prefer restir bcs its gives about 20% performance back, and dont have this goofy ahh light comes out of nowhere what burns my eyes at night

its like u walking on the absolutely night map without any lightsources and nrc just flashbangs u

[lapis delta]

i don't know if this was an act of trolling, but the fact that they added THIS to the RELEASE VERSION already makes you think about it

you could add a sharc with restir or another type of indirect lighting

[weak ermine]

but how they promote this in hl2rtx video

[lapis delta]

BUT

THEY ADDED THIS

[hasty sonnet]

make ReStiR world-spaced?
that would change the field, because no more ass AI

[weak ermine]

big peace of fart sound

[lapis delta]

there is already such a thing, it is called regir and it is in cyberpunk

[hasty sonnet]

I need it

[weak ermine]

everyone need this

[lapis delta]

i wonder why the hell they didn't add this

[hasty sonnet]

Money

[lapis delta]

ah, well of course

it was necessary to somehow promote the ai

[subtle bison]

nvidia, give us amd users some love 😭

[lapis delta]

but it could have been done in another way, NOT THIS FUCKING WAY

[weak ermine]

4090 performance

(with x1488 mfg)

[lapis delta]

it was possible with the help of a denoiser or dlss and with the help of other things

but when they just decided that ai could handle indirect lighting... oh my god, were they wrong

i think i created a request about restir fg a year ago

[wispy crest]

you get nothing

[lapis delta]

still silence and nothing more

but a non-working and buggy thing that no one was expecting - here you go

[subtle bison]

damn right i dont

[lapis delta]

i have lost any desire to touch remix at all atm

[wispy crest]

CR, you mentioned that it was possible to have enviromental textures (like walls, ceilings, floors) in gmod rtx without mounting hl2 rtx

how is this possible

[subtle bison]

by editing the .usda files directly

[wispy crest]

in what way

[subtle bison]

that is a dumb example, but if you're familar with json-like formats, you just need to move what you want over to a new .usda file

i would take a look at the base_mod folder in mods to get an understanding of how it works

[subtle bison]

you'd also need to copy the asset files themselves

[lapis delta]

btw, CR, will you continue to work on the sharc somehow?

[subtle bison]

ik i said i might, but like i said before, im really out of my depth working with that stuff

so the likelyhood of me finishing it isnt high

[wispy crest]

i have 0 coding experience so this might take a bit lol

[subtle bison]

editing USDA files doesnt require any coding experience, you just have to understand how USD loads files

it took me a few months to get familiar with it lol

[wispy crest]

yeah i dont know that either

a lot of this is magic to me

[subtle bison]

im struggling to put this correctly in words, but you're basically trying to replicate what the toolkit does, which is why i sent the picture diagram to illustrate that. basically the red rectangle on the left shows a single replacement, it defines a bunch of stuff like asset paths, mesh hashes, and other remix variables that i dont understand. But I try to replicate the look on my own .usda file

[subtle bison]

yeah i worded this horribly, i dont fully understand how USD works, the message i sent above explains this better

[lapis delta]

i understand, but have you tried using other AIs? f.e., gemini (specifically the pro version)

[hasty sonnet]

handshake

[subtle bison]

no amount of AI bruteforcing is going to make it magically work lol

[wispy crest]

how do you get dark mode n++

[wispy crest]

i cannot be staring at a bright ass white screen

[subtle bison]

i dont even use deepseek 💀

[hasty sonnet]

i left the chat speechless

[wispy crest]

well, everything I want is already contained into a usda

[lapis delta]

i think the best solution would be to give the code to someone from the rendering part of lightspeed

[wispy crest]

the textures.usda

[subtle bison]

so you just want to load all textures from hl2rtx's mod.usda? not individual ones?

[hasty sonnet]

if you people try this

ill shatter yo bones

[wispy crest]

I want everything but props and models

just like, walls and stuff

[subtle bison]

oh that shouldnt be too hard then

hl2rtx seperates everything into categorical USDA files, so I just need to make a mod.usda that only loads textures

[wispy crest]

right

[subtle bison]

i modified the base mod.usda for hl2rtx to only load textures

back up the old one before replacing it

[lapis delta]

oh cr

[subtle bison]

wdym by this

[lapis delta]

well, i mean that you have the code for sharc to be in remix

[subtle bison]

non-working-code*

🙂

[wispy crest]

I mount hl2rtx and replace its mod.usda with this one

[subtle bison]

yea

[wispy crest]

interdasting

[lapis delta]

and that in principle it will be possible to give them this code so that they can work on it and that's it

sharc in remix

[subtle bison]

i think it would be better for someone to start from scratch

its ai produced code 💀

[lapis delta]

did remix crash when sharс was on?

[subtle bison]

no but it looks like this
#1116089843479498782 message

[lapis delta]

that's why it would be nice to give it to them for further improvement

[subtle bison]

bro it could be implemented completely the wrong way

i have no idea to check because im not a programmer

[wispy crest]

CR what was the reason that some models couldn't be replaced by mounting hl2rtx?

hashes or something

[subtle bison]

skinned meshes

[wispy crest]

ohhh

[subtle bison]

so NPCs, ragdolls, anything with bones

[wispy crest]

right.

thats why I had to do those manually

but gregori gets replaced

[subtle bison]

they replaced his source engine model

[wispy crest]

mmm

[lapis delta]

in any case, i think that you can send it to them and they will do something about it

[wispy crest]

yeah I would love to do the floor turret as well, but it has bones

[subtle bison]

i highly doubt they will, its not like i have a special relationship with nvidia either

[wispy crest]

im very stupid when it comes to bones

[subtle bison]

you could port all of the models to source, but that sounds like hell to me

[wispy crest]

yes it is

i struggled to do things that werent bones

[subtle bison]

yeah importing models to source is the one thing i dont want to do in my life

[wispy crest]

yet i watched a friend of mine do the health charger in 5 minutes

[dull comet]

as i see that skyboxes act weaird

has only its front side visible

[lapis delta]

nothing ventured, nothing gained

[wispy crest]

I did port the hla pulse rifle to source using 3ds max, but my god it took forever

and blenders source tools are archaic

[dull comet]

also, why HLS water is broken

[subtle bison]

is this the training map?

or hazzard course

[dull comet]

both are same

training map is called hazard course

the water is supposed to look like its Goldsource counterpart in gmod w no RTX

can u guys also do smth for that

[weak ermine]

🤓

[dull comet]

idkmaybe to use the texture of HL1 water like HL2 water normal texture

[dull comet]

https://tenor.com/view/piss-sniper-tf2-tf2-sniper-gif-12024175374754631371

[subtle bison]

seems to be working for me?

[dull comet]

try the water at the one that was in the swimming area

lemme send u where did i find it

[subtle bison]

i forget which map has the swimming part

nvm

i think there is a remix bug where sometimes a replacement doesnt show, mostly happens to water

you can fix it by toggling RT

[wispy crest]

CR, if I wanted to add decals to load as well, I would just need to add the corresponding usda name right?

[subtle bison]

yep

[wispy crest]

cool

i might be able to learn something from this

[dull comet]

oh, at me it was less like water

i mean the bumpmap

[wispy crest]

i wasnt aware that I could read usda with np++

[subtle bison]

yea usda is generic text file

[wispy crest]

rtx remix is the first time ive ever seen it

[subtle bison]

ye its mostly used in high-production environments like pixar, maya, etc

[wispy crest]

tbh, this is the first time ive ever really dipped my hands into doing anything like this

[subtle bison]

pixar actually made USD

[wispy crest]

I have done some textures with source engine, but mostly modifying vmts

[subtle bison]

i think you'll find USD to be easier, but it has a steep learning curve

i prefer it much more over source engine stuff lol

[wispy crest]

when someone ported over the hla combine interfaces to gmod, the screens did not glow in the dark, and only appeared if light was shined on it, I spent an afternoon learning vmt stuff so I could get it to glow

to my surprise, I was successful

it was missing a simple parameter

however remix allows me to do so much more and understand how things interact with each other

i kind of understand why games are "bloated" in size, PBR takes up a lot of space

[dull comet]

do you guys just only implement the rtx remix or also redo some shaders?

[wispy crest]

iirc remix does everything for us

the part on the user is to tell it how to interact

obviously also hooking it into the game itself

[dull comet]

so

how can i help the team that makes the water shaders

cuz im a 3d modeller and can help w HLS assets

[wispy crest]

well CR is kind of our de facto leader in a way

[dull comet]

cuz i got a good idea for HLS shaders

[wispy crest]

im... not sure how shaders work in remix

I think a lot of them are broken?

[dull comet]

i just ment the water

i can turn HL quirky ahh water texture into the HL's software rendering stype texture

which looked like water more than opengl ver

[subtle bison]

we already have an addon that returns a basic texture for water so it can be replaced in remix

shaders do not work at all in gmod rtx

you would have to author those in the dxvk-remix source code instead

[dull comet]

oooh

thanks for the information

i do love how unstable 1.0 toolkit is, probably my favorite part

[steel lark]

@subtle bison when is underwater fix?? 💀

[subtle bison]

no idea, not sure where the engine calls that

ik the custom render kinda worked around that but we are not adding that back

[steel lark]

[weak ermine]

https://tenor.com/view/zamn-gif-23821732

[steel lark]

ik gumball figured out that that only happens if one or more of the faces of the water brush have nodraws (which is what it should actually be)

[subtle bison]

yea

[steel lark]

just replace all the nodraws in the map with water 🔥

[subtle bison]

the nodraw acts like a trigger tho

so it doesnt matter what we change it to

ill try to look into it later but it will be a lot of ghidra and ida

[wispy crest]

i get high fps underwater

[subtle bison]

yea cuz the world stops existing 🫃

oh wow obs fucked up that recording

if yall got a phone with a oled screen, try watching it

should be bright asf

[subtle bison]

why is the 1st image bit crushed

[steel lark]

uhh reshade decided to really not want the image to be dark

decided to really brighten it up

uhh

lol

[subtle bison]

ye new lightupdater is weird like that

not sure why it does it but eh

[wispy crest]

what the elite doin

[weak ermine]

[wispy crest]

turned out pretty good

[modern sparrow]

who needs S&Box when all you need is a 100+$ graphics card and gmod with rtx remix : 3

[weak ermine]

true

virgin sbox:
dont have so much add-ons
dont have add-ons at all
dont have sweps
dont have all source maps
exist
chad gmod
rtx
addons
maps
sweps

[wispy crest]

they aren't really comparable

[half viper]

@subtle bison can i test the hdr build on my oled monitor?

[subtle bison]

when i can fix some of the scaling issues ill push a new dxvk-remix-gmod build with HDR

[wispy crest]

cr didn't green fire my combine models
it's joever

[subtle bison]

check again 🫣

[wispy crest]

this took way long than it shouldve

because nemez has one 2 models

and the rest are like, body groups

so everything is named the same

I had to rename a bunch of shit so it didn't overwrite when I ingested them

also some of these textures refuse to render in rtx

[hasty sonnet]

i want to make this sound worse

[wispy crest]

how

Please change and grow up

[hasty sonnet]

@subtle bison are we able to use reshade now

[subtle bison]

its always worked

just recommend x64 because input is really buggy on x32

depth doesnt work atm but ill get to that at some point

[subtle bison]

refactored the remixapi lua bindings
you can now save and load remix settings per map

this is useful for map edits and stuff

[half viper]

Controlling everything through Garry's mod would be so good

Who needs remix imgui

[subtle bison]

nah lets not vgui everything

but with these API changes you certainly can

[subtle bison]

still messing with how config files are treated, but it looks like im just getting closer to xoxor4d's implementation lol

[keen rivet]

nice

[subtle bison]

anyone know any remix config variables that should be saved for maps?

i've only done some post FX and volumetrics so far

[subtle bison]

i have no idea what i did, but volumetrics no longer break HDRIs???

[keen rivet]

perhaps sky brightness

[subtle bison]

thy hath been done

[dull comet]

how to update the RTX remix?

[willow fog]

Very carefuly

[wispy crest]

lol

[subtle bison]

if you're using the x64 version of the game, you dont, it needs a specialized version of remix found here
https://github.com/sambow23/dxvk-remix-gmod/releases/tag/98f9d03-2
for x32, you can download the action builds from here (you need a GH account)
https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/actions/runs/16208531802

[subtle bison]

chat i am officially burned out, gonna take a long break

Stay safe

[keen rivet]

Or you can use the launcher to do it

[keen rivet]

Is this my turn to hop back into the game?

[subtle bison]

yea, just wanted to explain the differences between game versions

we should probably make the launcher only show the right remix version to download based on the detected architecture

[earnest yew]

[subtle bison]

something is cursed with your game install

looks like there was a bad update?
#589120351238225940 message

[hasty sonnet]

i got deported to the gmod server lmao

[royal vortex]

what is this? im guessing its a mod that i have but i have no idea

this is for the installer for gmod with rtx

[wispy crest]

it means gmod is broken

[royal vortex]

uuuuh

why is the window small

i fixed the issue dw.

[subtle bison]

exclusive fullscreen is extremely buggy with source games in remix, so its forced to borderless window

[royal vortex]

aaah, it was in 1920x1080 lol, i have a 2k monitor...... silly me

also why does it download into my downloads folder, how do i change where the installation goes in the installer

or can i move the files into my common folder in steam and it will work?

[subtle bison]

its not meant to be ran in your program files, just put it somewhere in your user directory

but it will always install where the launcher is located

[royal vortex]

ah thank you!

also, i madesome mods for gmodWRTX, do i just put these into the mods folder in the rtx-remis folder?

[subtle bison]

ye

[royal vortex]

why is my water flickering white

its in a poolrooms map so that might be why

[subtle bison]

it probably uses a non-standard water texture
we have a addon that replaces 99% of the ones found in maps with a remix-compatible one

[royal vortex]

yeah, it has its fair share of messups, itll do things that arent water and make then have a water texture, i dunno if thats fixed but ill see by loading into the map that had the problem.

[subtle bison]

yeah thats been fixed for a while

you'll only run into situations where it doesnt get replaced

[royal vortex]

my mods dont seem to work, maybe because i used a different version of rtx remix for garrys mod.

[subtle bison]

if you made them in between december-april, we were using a new hash system that was forced in a gmod update, but have reverted since mid april so hl2rtx assets would be compatible

there is a good chance you'll have to update your hashes in the toolkit or .usda file

[royal vortex]

ah alright.

i dunno why but this one specific playermodel crashes rtx, it says to increase ram or something in a conf file.

[subtle bison]

are you using the x32 version of the game?

[royal vortex]

i think so

damn i cant get the error dialogue

let me try again so you can see it

[subtle bison]

i think its the bridge.conf file you have to edit in bin/.trex but i havent really messed with it. you can also switch to x64 which doesnt use the bridge

but you'll have to reinstall the compat mod

[royal vortex]

yes that, it says to increase something. i think its ram.

[royal vortex]

thru the laucnher? i used skurtys mod instaler, i just now used the new one that xenthio made.

[subtle bison]

ye, its easier to remove everything in the directory except the launcher exe and re-run the quick install

[royal vortex]

aaah okay thank you so much, im so rusty to this because i havent touched gmod rtx in months lmao

omg tysm, i can finally p[lay with that playermodel.

where is your shadow? i have no shadow

[subtle bison]

enable this and reload the map

you should see your playermodel in first person, mark it as a player model texture in remix

[royal vortex]

cant see my playermoel in first person, i can in third tho

[subtle bison]

did you reload the map?

[royal vortex]

bruh im dumb

the pseudoplayer and weapon were disabled.

the only thing i hate is if you have tons of weapon mods you gotta tick each world model as a playermodel texture. its pretty annoying but ive done it too many times to be annoyed anymore lol

[subtle bison]

i never turn on pseudoweapon for that very reason

[royal vortex]

OMG PARTICLES WORK

[subtle bison]

[royal vortex]

i never saw these in gmod rtx

[subtle bison]

ye i did a lot of particle work a few months ago

[royal vortex]

THANK YOU

also thank you for making lights work'

i had this weird problem where lights woud turn on then off if i fired a gun.

the menu is tiny and i cant get it to become big

[subtle bison]

what menu?

[royal vortex]

it just squashes down back to this if i resize it

rtx menu.

[subtle bison]

oh that means too many textures are loaded

[royal vortex]

aw damn.

[subtle bison]

i need to make a proper bug report but the UI breaks when that happens

[winter radish]

I need to change the server mode and map

[subtle bison]

can u wait for me to release 0.8.0 of gmod rtx fixes 2

it has fixes for niknaks so MP works sorta correctly

i already finished most of the stuff, i just need to organize and push it

[weak ermine]

pseudoplayermodels in mp will work?

[subtle bison]

try disabling a few addons, arc9 and other weapon packs like it precache a lot of textures

[royal vortex]

thank you for doing what you do CR, you finally fixed so much stuff that i tried to fix myself lol.

[subtle bison]

ye they should

[subtle bison]

np, xenthio did a lot too

[weak ermine]

hell yeah

[winter radish]

Sure

[subtle bison]

only in servers that run niknaks and the gmod rtx fixes 2 addon tho

[weak ermine]

i only playing with my friend

[winter radish]

Oooo what if we all do Ravenholm together

[subtle bison]

yea p2p should be fine

[weak ermine]

so not problem

[weak ermine]

dark and gritty

[wispy crest]

I've always been able to see my player model

[subtle bison]

did you mark your thirdperson textures instead of the pseudoplayer ones?

[wispy crest]

no

[subtle bison]

[wispy crest]

I didn't do anything

I don't even have psedo anything enabled

[royal vortex]

did you go into here and tick these boxes?

[subtle bison]

oh you probably had a legs addon or something

[royal vortex]

you gotta tick these for it to work

[subtle bison]

in the current gmod rtx fixes version, these dont work in MP

or at least shouldnt lol

[wispy crest]

I use gm++

it just works

[subtle bison]

ye they use some playermodel trickery, but in my experience, the upper torso looks cursed

[wispy crest]

yeah it is lol

[steel lark]

disable gm++

[wispy crest]

all my captures have abominations lol

[steel lark]

or search for the thirdperson

[subtle bison]

yea me too, i used it all of the time

[wispy crest]

why would I disable gm++ lol

[royal vortex]

this is the only change i dont really like.

omg, if you diable categorize texture list you can open the ui.....

[subtle bison]

well remix would crash before, so that hack to collapse the UI keeps it from crashing

[royal vortex]

no, "Split texture category list" if i enable it that it stops.

nice. thanks for not making it crash lol

[subtle bison]

i would prefer to fix it but its a little out of my skillset

[royal vortex]

easy workaround to stop it, just categorize the textures.

if i enable that it stops it from collapsing.

so i fixed it for me lol.

[subtle bison]

Are you talking about this?

oh you mean just switch to another tab

[royal vortex]

oh, the tabs have too many textures lol.i just gotta disable some addons i guess

[subtle bison]

ill try to take another jab at fixing it sometime, im supposed to be on break working on this

🤭

[royal vortex]

its fine, take your time.

[subtle bison]

so i tried tagging all vanilla playermodel pseudoplayer textures in remix, only to notice any playermodel with colorable textures have a completely different hash when reloading the map, yay

[subtle bison]

@winter radish might want to cherry-pick my commit, gives a decent perf boost to RDNA4
https://github.com/sambow23/dxvk-remix-gmod/commit/e18aec83a14340c67cde9ea0d7b85b0b1bc94043

should work on the p2rtx-specific remix runtime without any backporting

[winter radish]

Problem is you’re using device id for the RX 9070 series to check for it
So it’s only checking for those specific cards, not RDNA 4 in general
For example the device id for the RX 9060 XT is 7590

NVIDIA checks arch id for their cards

[subtle bison]

do we know what the range is for the 9000 series? I can add a wildcard instead

nvm ill see if there is a amd equivalent for the arch id

[winter radish]

If you want, I could ask around in the Vanguard server

See if they have any clue what they’re arch id equivalents would be

[subtle bison]

if u want

[royal vortex]

OMG FINALLY VOL FOG PRESETS!!!!!!!!!!!

how did you get mw base (or maybe thats arc 9?) weapons to work with rtx?

[wispy crest]

mw base just works

yup.

simply by installing the addon and disabling post processing

oh, and also by disabling hud

[hasty sonnet]

post processing works fine with mw base, you gotta remove multiple stage texturing something something

[winter radish]

Oooooo

[polar anchor]

Have you gotten arc9 to work? It doesnt work with rtx for me

Tfa, ArcCW, and MWB woo
Rks just fine in rtx

[wispy crest]

I would use weapon bases like that if I had to ability to overhaul the weapons to actually make them look good

but I dont have any of the cods installed, nor do I have the space for them

[subtle bison]

arc9 should be working mostly fine, we've added some fixes for it in the last few months

mwb should definitely be working fine as well

what are your issues?

[polar anchor]

Whenever I have the addon(s) enabled, the game pretry much freezes in tbe loading screen during the lua part if i remember correctly. The weirdest part is that once i disable all arc9 addons it goes through just fine and much faster. Now i dont know if it truely wasnt working but if it was working, then the loadtime wpuld blow past an hour easily.

Should I renable just the weapons and leave out the stickers and camos?

[subtle bison]

some addons cause the game to freeze on loading, but its not usually weapon sweps. how did you install gmod rtx?

also arc9 and other weapon bases destroy vram because of texture precaching, but you have a 4090 so i dont think that is really an issue here

[polar anchor]

Did old install first, then found out about the launcher, so it shoupd be fully up to date

[subtle bison]

so you used quick install in the launcher?

[polar anchor]

It was manually installed first, so no? But i re ran the install and patches after getting the launcher. It has been a minute since I installed it so dont remember too well

[subtle bison]

might be best to do a clean install just to be sure, would also advise switching to x64 if not already since it can handle addons better

[polar anchor]

Actually im on the x64 version. I switched to that once I saw that it worked with remix. Being limited to the 32bit version was super limiting lol

[subtle bison]

do you have this addon installed by any chance?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2193997180

it causes the game to freeze on load

there might be more addons that do this, but i havent gotten any reports

you can find the known incompatible addons here
https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2?tab=readme-ov-file#incompatible-addons

[royal vortex]

how would i make a shprtcut to open gmod wtth rtx without the launcher?

what file would i make a shortcut

[royal vortex]

fr. it also feels much more stable.

[subtle bison]

if you're using x64, add a non-steam shortcut to ./bin/win64/gmod.exe
with the launch arguments as -console -dxlevel 90 +mat_disable_d3d9ex 1 -windowed -noborder -w 2560 -h 1440 in steam's launch properties

[royal vortex]

oh so like the .bat thingy you'd click on in xenthios old installation of it where you had to do most of the work

[subtle bison]

sort of, but most of the options are in a autoexec.cfg, the ones i just sent dont work in that file, so you need to specify those still

it should look like this

[royal vortex]

thank you!

before this particle fix of sorts, i actually had particles working (because in older gmod with rtx's, particles like fire wouldnt render at all) i forgot how i did it but then 0.7.1 comes out and fixes it for me lmao

[subtle bison]

0.8.0 should fix a lot more, i backported the spritecard shader to fixed function which a lot of addons use

[royal vortex]

nice!!

i'd also like to see some kindof flashlight option where you can control how big, far, or bright the flashlight is.

[subtle bison]

that should be feasable, ill look into it some time

[royal vortex]

thanks!

it looks so weird to see fire particles in rtx after not being able to see them lol

[wispy crest]

when was the last time you played gmod rtx

[royal vortex]

a looong time ago, i think in 2024.

i haven't touched it in months

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison this might fix the water ghosting issue in gmod rtx

[subtle bison]

when was this added

also it wouldnt apply to me since i longer have NV hardware lol

ill see if i can access that option

[turbid barn]

Sound like now

we will got the rays

and they gonna be traced

[subtle bison]

lol i dont have it

someone with nv hardware try this 🫃

[turbid barn]

it's for dlss rr

[subtle bison]

ye ik

[turbid barn]

sadly

[subtle bison]

i dont need it cuz i dont have that issue lol

[turbid barn]

imma gonna cry

неееееееееи

[subtle bison]

i assume surething wanted me to enable it so nv users could have fixed water, hence me asking someone else to try it lol

[turbid barn]

i wish i could
but there is too many thing i need to do

[subtle bison]

well im like the only AMD user here so im sure someone can at some point

[turbid barn]

download gmod
download remix mod
manually update to NV build (is raw build gonna work on x64?)
and something else

[subtle bison]

no raw will definitely not work on x64

i mean it will run but the experience will suck

[turbid barn]

yesh

[subtle bison]

also this was added a while ago, my runtime already has it

it just doesnt show if you dont have HW that isnt capable of running RR

guh remix 1.1 just came out?

yay i will have to refactor my fork

nvm

looks like i have most 1.1 changes already since my fork follows the main branch

[winter radish]

BVH changes too?

[subtle bison]

ok nvm im like 2 weeks behind

https://github.com/sambow23/dxvk-remix-gmod/releases/tag/e2f8119

its based on this

[winter radish]

I’m just curious how the BVH optimizations effect AMD and Intel

[subtle bison]

do you have the commit id for the bvh optimizations?

[winter radish]

I do not, I just saw it was added in 1.1

[subtle bison]

ill probably end up re-doing most of my changes on top of the 1.1.0 tag

i tried to merge the latest changes and that did not go well lol

[brittle token]

does anybody else feel rtx remix tends to be a bit too blue?

(left: rtx remix) (right: what i'd imagine it would look like without so much blue)

(same blueness seen in another game)

[wispy crest]

this sky is blue

if you notice, a lot of the world is blue

like, it just is

[brittle token]

yeah, but in remix it tends to be too much

[weak ermine]

try to turn on hdr sky in rtx remix settings

its not full mega hdr, but its make sky dont look too blue

[brittle token]

it does help i think

[weak ermine]

game setup>second tab(i dont remember)>sky blah blah>advanced

[brittle token]

uhhhh.

well that's strange

[weak ermine]

💔

[brittle token]

me: stands at a seemingly random point of the map
the map:

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-glitch-matrix-gif-25245096

[weak ermine]

well, dont stand at random point of the map

simple solution

[brittle token]

fuck, you right 🤯 nvm nvm

[keen rivet]

thats how outside looks on a clear sky day

your brain has an automatic white balance it does to your vision, so it compensates

but if you look at the sun WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED (atleast this works for me) everything will appear red. wait awhile (STILL EYES CLOSED, DONT LOOK AT THE SUN EYES OPEN) then look away and open your eyes, the white balance will have shifted to compensate for the red you just saw and everything will appear tinted blue.

similar effect happened when i had red goggles when i took swimming lessons as a child.

[brittle token]

im.. pretty sure that's just the eye adjusting to the overwhelming prescence of a color, nothing to do with white balance

[keen rivet]

is that not what white balance is

[brittle token]

it happens with any other color too

[brittle token]

white balance is only blue to orangeish red

[keen rivet]

yeah commonly its the colour temperatures but there's also green and purple balancing too

[brittle token]

if you look at any color with enough intensity and for enough time, that zone that had it, will tint everything in the opposite color of what you were looking at

[keen rivet]

oh your brain also does do that negative effect yeah

but no the brain's auto white balance is a real thing

[keen rivet]

yeah but the white balance actually happens in your brain itself

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalamus

theres multiple parts (visual cortex for example) where it happens i think but thats one of them

[brittle token]

seems they dont mention it

how do you know it? im kinda having a hard time finding stuff about it

[keen rivet]

stuff i remember reading ages ago

[brittle token]

mm, i think i get what it is, but it isn't done purely, it's just a feeling of our brains letting us know "hey, that thing probably that color"

[keen rivet]

oh yeah but the result is essentially white balance

[brittle token]

"without all the colored light in here"

[keen rivet]

so yeah the lack of it in remix will make it look very blue

[brittle token]

yep, but it isn't visible, if i enter a red light illuminated room im still gonna see red, not the real color

[keen rivet]

oh yeah its not like, a perfect full range completely balance everything

[brittle token]

i think the problem might be the sky's intensity being too high, and the sun intensity not so much

to me at least, the colors seem more accurate on the second one

on the already installed version of gm_construct rtx it looks a lot more like the one on the right, so im guessing the blue is unintentional

[keen rivet]

oh yeah the gm_construct default the sun doesnt exist at all

or it does but its blocked by the skybox above the map

so yeah its wrong in that

[brittle token]

something strange happens on flatgrass tho, the sun is there, and it's visible when below the building, but on the top the white balance does some strange stuff and blues it up

maybe too much light from the white concrete roof

[keen rivet]

huh?

[brittle token]

,

[brittle token]

but if you look at it from below, the sun is visible and the colors are correct

(agx)

[keen rivet]

found a real photo that i think shows just how blue real life is

[keen rivet]

is that a cloudy skybox?

[brittle token]

yep, the side on the left shows that the sun part is quite a lot warmer, which lacks sometimes on remix

[brittle token]

nope, default one, i suppose is the exposure adjusting to the ground

and the force hdr sky

[keen rivet]

the default maps probably dont use the right sun colour

[keen rivet]

it straight up looks like its just white here

[brittle token]

maybe too much of the screen is focusing on darker areas, and remix is compensating for that (the less the bright part is focused, the less it matters to the auto exposure)

i've yet to see a game that implements afterimage

which, now that i think about it, is kinda like auto exposure but instead of changing the whole screen, it only changes parts of it as the eyes get used to brightess in that area

[keen rivet]

the tonemapping is local, yeah

[wispy crest]

shadows are blue

the atmosphere is blue

games don't have this blue color usually because it's obnoxious to look at, look at bf3

it all has to do with how our atmosphere scatters light from the sun, which is actually more white in color, and how it transfers to the ground

white direct sunlight is much brighter than the blue skylight, and this is the main reason that the entire outside world is not completely blue

White sunlight is so bright compared to blue skylight that when an object is in direct sunlight, it just looks like its innate color. But, when an object is in shadow so that direct sunlight cannot reach it (and there are not too many clouds that block the skylight), the object is now being illuminated only by blue skylight.

When the scenery includes a lot of shadow and there is snow on the ground to reflect a lot of the light, the blue tint of the outside world caused by the sky becomes obvious

[wispy crest]

The more shadows there are, the more the world around you is tinted blue. When the sun is low in the sky and behind the trees, the entire landscape can end up being shadowed from direct sunlight and therefore be blue tinted. We often don't notice the blueness of the outside world because our human eyes are better at seeing relative color than absolute color. This means that our eyes are better at picking out color differences than at picking out an overall color on an absolute scale.

think of a parking garage, or under a bridge

[wispy crest]

so the image on the left is more accurate

if not a little over blue, because it's impossible to get colors 1:1 as real life because of differences in monitors, game tonemapping, and the human eye

[brittle token]

go out, it dont look like that

[brittle token]

also you just went ahead and picked the coldest (both in color and in temperature) image you could possibly find

[lament quartz]

Hai guys

[brittle token]

helo

[wispy crest]

it's to show it clearly

you can clearly see that the world is more blue

I just explained to you why it's like that

shadows illuminated by the skylight will be blue, when there are more shadows than sunlight, the environment will appear blue

[brittle token]

yes, but not to that extent

[wispy crest]

I just explained that it's impossible to get it 1:1

are you even reading

[brittle token]

reading so many defenses to the blue one is rotting my brain actively. how can people look at that and think "yeah, that's about right"

[wispy crest]

because it is "about right"

[brittle token]

hey guyysss, check this s photorealistic imagee!

[wispy crest]

this environment would not be blue because it's being illuminated by sunlight

you are intentionally being obtuse

[brittle token]

the screenshot i showed of the tunnel had a lot of blue in the shadows

[wispy crest]

exactly, how it's supposed to look

[brittle token]

all these areas are blue, and it looks right, it's just the other one that doesnt

it's about the balance

the other ones kinda look like the sun is blue almost too. which, at some points, the sun does get quite white (at the top, where the atmosphere is thinnest) but at the sides it tends to be of a warmer color

[modern quest]

with a blue, not very cloudy skybox, the left one looks correct to me

also you're being quite rude. if you actually want to get your point across and hope something will change, try not to be rude 😛

[brittle token]

ok, at this point i might be mad, or have a different brand of eyes, cuz im going insane over it

[wispy crest]

I explained that a factor may be monitor difference

[brittle token]

mm, maybe my old-ass flatron needs more of an upgrade than i thought

[modern quest]

i mean the overall image is really blue, but in a lighting scenario like that it actually makes sense

[modern quest]

and possibly. the older monitors really love to exaggerate certain colors

i'm looking at this on a tuned neutral sRGB panel

[brittle token]

to me it looks almost overcast / cloudy, like if the direct sunlight areas were too shifted to white (which can happen at 12, but the images dont have that angle)

usually user made remixed worlds / maps have the sun with a warmer tint if im not misremembering

for example

now that i remember, i got a better upscaler, im gonna give it a try to see if i can make some materials pbr

[hasty sonnet]

[kind kraken]

@subtle bison do you upload your fork of the runtime anywhere? We're still using like the 2nd or 3rd iteration one you had after implementing AgX so idk if there's stuff done since that could be cool to stay up to date with

[willow fog]

I shipped the agx build

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/sambow23/dxvk-remix-gmod/commits/rel

rel branch has the stuff considered stable

the latest release has those changes

[kind kraken]

What that mean

[willow fog]

I shipped it with the mod

[subtle bison]

he means the dll i sent here a while ago

it was just agx changes only

[kind kraken]

Oh yeah I shipped that with my demo too (lemme add u to credits before I forget)

[subtle bison]

i think i made a newer one for burrito since he wanted the vertex lighting stuff

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1341104601453035632/1395761795762884744/d3d9.dll?ex=68823778&is=6880e5f8&hm=2706a3284e3df9c0041cc6174c3f441522aa070ce1b519941505b280e467fb46&

lmk if you just want agx only

[kind kraken]

But I was asking to update the runtime we have on our repo with the changes since. I noticed it's labeled GMOD specifically but is it fine to use with other projects?

[subtle bison]

ye it would work fine but it has a gmod-specific welcome banner lol

the dll i just linked has that removed

[willow fog]

This vertex lighting stuff actually saved my mod

[kind kraken]

What did it fix?

[kind kraken]

So it's just the latest stable from the GitHub without the banner?

[willow fog]

Every surface in the game uses vertex baked lighting
I don't want baked lighting because I have raytracing
The neon lights under cars are also colored by vertex colors

To get the neon lights to be colored, I have to assign EVERY SINGLE world texture as ignore baked lighting

And that's stupid

But CR provided an alternate solution where only the textures marked as his specific category will be colored by vertex colors

So it inverts the process

[subtle bison]

(also particles and decals)

[kind kraken]

My game also does vertex based lighting but afaik it seems to be fine at least when I ignored all the baked lightmaps

[willow fog]

yes

[willow fog]

Correct but I only need vert lighting on a few specific objects while ignoring literally everything else

So CR's method worked best

[kind kraken]

I'm just thinking if I would benefit in any way from that change. The game uses vertex painting for texture blending and I feel like if seen small discoloration of surfaces where I think it applies but I'm not 100% sure

[subtle bison]

ye this would mess it up, it does for source games as well. That's why textures marked as decal or particles also apply vertex lighting

so if you have terrain or other stuff marked, those will continue to work fine

[kind kraken]

Might need an ELI5. So you're saying the discoloration I'm mentioning might be resolved by that change? Or that the change might break texture blending (isn't functional to begin with atm)

[subtle bison]

the change would break texture blending for meshes that use vertex/baked lighting, but only if it's not marked particle, decal, or Allow Baked Lighting

its to prevent skinned meshes (or even static) from having vertex lighting to fix lighting artifacts

[kind kraken]

AFAIK I don't have those issues to begin with

I'm guessing that's not a forced difference and rather a toggle?

[subtle bison]

it's a forced difference since it's primarily designed for gmod, but if you need a build with the agx and xess stuff and nothing else, i can make one

just keep in mind my fork hasnt been updated to the latest remix changes, its still based on commits from late june

[kind kraken]

Honestly it's been doing the job so that shouldn't be an issue. Seems like you've done work on AgX since I last implemented what you shared (prob around the same time?) and this would have XeSS so still a meaningful benefit. When you get the time yeah it would be great to have that

If you need to rebuild either way then couldn't we have custom banner text too without much effort

[subtle bison]

yea lol, what do you want it to say

[kind kraken]

Fuck, I didn't think I'd get this far

I forgot what it says by default lmao

[subtle bison]

iirc its this

pbrify in comfyui for the rtx remix automatic ingestion

but with the upscaling model replaced with a "custom" node that opens and grabs the result from topaz labs' gigapixel 8.4.2 (on that one i used redefine creative, but it was a bad idea, it caused tiling) i'd recommend using redefine on none or subtle

[compact blaze]

Topaz my opps

[brittle token]

like it or not, they got one of the best upscaling models out there

[compact blaze]

From what I remember it looks the exact same as 2019-2020 while open source has gotten a lot better

Unless they did actually improve

[brittle token]

the quality upgrades with the version, and they also introduce newer models

they got generatives that are harder to run now

[compact blaze]

Any comparison between the best open source model and the best of topaz

Genuinely interested cause god I need some new upscaling stuff man I’m starving

[brittle token]

i dont think there's many, but if you want send an image and i can upscale it for comparison

those are the newer ones

you can give it a description on what it should be too

[brittle token]

i dont think it liked the blurriness, im going to try to downscale it first

[compact blaze]

Try dis

[compact blaze]

Oh that’s quite uh

Not good lol, it looks like it made everything out of paper

[brittle token]

lol

no idea why it's not doing that well

it really cant do text tho

[compact blaze]

Ya cause there’s no text in the original image 💔

[brittle token]

it thought this darker line had text i think

[compact blaze]

That’s insane how

Ya nvm the model has not improved in the slightest

Still as insane as 2020

[brittle token]

i remember using this one for that, probably still somewhere in my saves

[turbid barn]

what's the diff between gigapixel and photo ai?

[brittle token]

gigapixel focuses only on upscaling, photo ai focuses on denoising, sharpening, color balance, and has some basic upscaling models

it can also recover text, but it seems at one point they messed that one up, not sure

[turbid barn]

i've heard photo ai has this feature but didn't tried

so gigapixel is better on upscaling? nice

[brittle token]

nowadays it's better to use the noisy model on the preserve text, the other one used to be damn good, but it now produces blurry results

@compact blaze OHH HELL NAH

coom

[turbid barn]

hm, whacha bout the AI denoiser in Camera Raw in photoshop? is it good enough comparing to photo ai?

i will try by myself if a few days

[turbid barn]

i mean the last one that was added along with photoshop 2025 update

[brittle token]

i'd say photo ai's is better, the one in camera raw kinda blurs it

[brittle token]

hmmm, i've yet to give it a try

[subtle bison]

iirc camera raw's upscaler only supports DNG

at least since the last time i tried it

so jpegs and the like dont work

[brittle token]

this' the one i have

i havent used this one yet, i should update my photoshop

looks fun, though i cant make raws with my camera

[turbid barn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Qr4efoex4

[brittle token]

if i had to guess the text should be less affected on the camera raw one

[turbid barn]

and don't forget there is masking in the camera raw

[brittle token]

masking?

[turbid barn]

gimme 1 minute

[brittle token]

damn, my photo ai is damn old

[turbid barn]

i mean this feature

like you still can mask the text and work with it separatly

[brittle token]

ooh

[compact blaze]

Why is Sam lake there

[subtle bison]

we love sam lake

[turbid barn]

he's watching

That's not a lake

that's the ocean

[brittle token]

XD

[compact blaze]

Sam Ocean

https://youtu.be/OaCDTHLzl_k

[turbid barn]

he's like hideo kojima

[brittle token]

this is as much as i could get it to produce, the keyboard is an absolute MESS

[turbid barn]

but he is finnish

[turbid barn]

photo ai?

[brittle token]

gigapixel ai

[compact blaze]

Funky

[compact blaze]

This is so cool imagine battlefield level destruction in gmod

[subtle bison]

i wonder if this has been tested in gmod rtx

[brittle token]

...

sus

[subtle bison]

omg

i hate u lmfao

[brittle token]

it's like a mind worm

[subtle bison]

fr

[brittle token]

it never left

like a sleeping agent, it just waited for the right signal to be sent

[subtle bison]

looks like it does

some weird vertex colors pop up while destructing it, but other than that its fine

[brittle token]

you made the fucking wall pog

[subtle bison]

guh

i was making a smiley face

i think you have the mind worm

[brittle token]

smile + open mouth = pog

[brittle token]

still, nice to see it work from the go

[compact blaze]

You should add a material to it through the material tool

[subtle bison]

looks like that works too

[compact blaze]

Is this encoded in av1?

[subtle bison]

ye

please tell me discord's av1 support isnt as bad as h265 😭

h264 looks like ass on amd

[compact blaze]

No cause barely any mobile devices support av1

For example, the device I’m using rn

[subtle bison]

my android plays it fine?

[compact blaze]

What android are u using?

[subtle bison]

pixel pro 9 fold

[compact blaze]

Ofc a pixel phone is supported

[subtle bison]

do mobile devices not fall back to CPU decoding if they dont natively support it?

[compact blaze]

Only apple devices that support av1 are like the latest latest iPhones

[subtle bison]

i have a galaxy s24 that also plays it fine

i feel like the lack of codec support is less of an issue, in comparison to how bad react native is at handling media (what discord mobile is based on for android and ios)

[compact blaze]

It is very much an issue cause I can’t play it 💔

[subtle bison]

what phone

[compact blaze]

2021 iPad

[subtle bison]

guh

i still blame react native

[compact blaze]

Bruh only like the new flagships support av1 and some latest budget phones

But most people are running on like pre 2022-2023 phones

Which don’t support av1 I think

[subtle bison]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1#Hardware_encoding_and_decoding_support

ye its like late 2023-now for av1 support

[brittle token]

what do you guys think of h265? recently found out about it lol

[subtle bison]

ass

its old and proprietary

pretty much all modern hardware supports it, but good luck playing it in discord

[brittle token]

damn

[modern quest]

dude my phone from 2016 plays it just fine

it's just an apple problem

android phones use a CPU fallback

[subtle bison]

weird that apple doesnt

[compact blaze]

Dude what???

That’s so stupid why can’t able have the same

[subtle bison]
