Uhh, this is the thing I was refering to

looks like vertex explosions, is r_3dsky set to 1?
if its set to 0, then that map probably has vertex explosion issues that arent related to the sky
polar anchor
this has been on ALL three maps ive played after updating
this map didnt have this issue before
subtle bison
then you might have an addon that's doing it, turn all addons off except the maps you're trying and see if it happens again
if it still happens, send the links to the maps here so i can take a look
you also didnt tell me which addon was causing your game to freeze on starting lua... 😛

vertex explosion sounds wack, makes my wonder how it even happens. it's also visually really weird

iirc the ones caused by r_3dsky are a remix issue, as for the others, not sure

the new rtx menu colors are way better than before ngl

It was the default look before lol
brittle token
changed it, i dont think i thought it through
polar anchor
I wonder when theyll add high resolution support to gmod. It is laughable that there isnt propper 4k support
polar anchor
CAFDW is the culprit, it doesnt like something in my list. cant tell you what since testing would take a lifetime
Maybe the mmod weapons, it is the only thing i can think of. Would make sense since they would try to overwrite each other
polar anchor
mmod weapons work fine for me
They work fine for me too. What i meant was that one of the 2 addons (long name) might night play well with the mmod replacers

its only for remix, as its a remix-specific change

that means the texture probably doesn't have a proper alpha mask
subtle bison
i think trying to get captured assets with legacy emissives
there is 0 toolkit support, legacy emissives is meant for non-replaced assets
willow fog
that means the texture probably doesn't have a proper alpha mask
But it does. You can see how at first all the areas except for the lamps are lit. When I hit invert, it lights up everything instead of only lighting the lamps
subtle bison
i still think there is something wrong with the texture, invert does exactly what it does
willow fog
i still think there is something wrong with the texture, invert does exactly wha...
Invert should do exactly what it is supposed to do
Light the lamps, don't light the other parts.
So the opposite. Turn black alpha to white and white to black.

but instead of default asset i get this
wispy crest
maybe i can take a look
thorny crag
can you do a clean install? also ensure you're not doing it in a folder that is ...
i did a clean install before, i installed the latest version over the version before it
wispy crest
but instead of default asset i get this
this is a common issue because its displaying the alpha map
ive ran into this too
thorny crag
but i guess i can try again, my clean backup is probably behind on updates tho idk if copying files from the base game might break something
wispy crest
i have no idea how to fix it
subtle bison
but i guess i can try again, my clean backup is probably behind on updates tho i...
so you're wiping out the entire folder except for RTXLauncher.exe?
turbid barn
is the legacy emissives is a gmod-only feature CR or Xenthio added, or NVIDIA's one?
wispy crest
cr feature
subtle bison
is the legacy emissives is a gmod-only feature CR or Xenthio added, or NVIDIA's ...
I added it to the custom runtime, it works on other remix games but its only meant for non-replaced textures that use alpha as a emissive mask
turbid barn
uh, then it makes sense why it doesn't work with the toolkit
wispy crest
obviously?
thorny crag
so you're wiping out the entire folder except for `RTXLauncher.exe`?
no it's literally just a clean gmod copy
wispy crest
what were you trying to do?
subtle bison
no it's literally just a clean gmod copy
im not talking about the vanilla game, im talking about your remix one
thorny crag
idt this is synced by onedrive there isnt the tiny icon
turbid barn
what were you trying to do?
i though if it's NVIDIA's feature it would work fine with the toolkit
wispy crest
if you are trying to add emissives in the toolkit you will need to do it manually
turbid barn
if you are trying to add emissives in the toolkit you will need to do it manuall...
i want to get albedo
subtle bison
idt this is synced by onedrive there isnt the tiny icon
where is this folder located?
turbid barn
just .dds texture of the weapon
thorny crag
im not talking about the vanilla game, im talking about your remix one
yeah, it's a copy of the clean gmod copy i talked about then i move the launcher there and do the installs
thorny crag
where is this folder located?
steam folder at D drive, which is also not synced
turbid barn
not emissive
just base texture
i don't care about emissives, i don't want them, i'l draw them manually if i want to do
wispy crest
hold on let me take a look
subtle bison
yeah, it's a copy of the clean gmod copy i talked about then i move the launcher...
dont do this, the launcher automatically symlinks and copies game files from your vanilla one
also dont put it in a steam folder, it has different permissions than other folders on your disk
thorny crag
imagine how funny it would be if it's because of that steam parent drive being D issue again lol, i highly doubt it though
turbid barn
dont do this, the launcher automatically symlinks and copies game files from you...
i put it in the "common" folder
thorny crag
dont do this, the launcher automatically symlinks and copies game files from you...
damn, it was fine back then though albeit a bit janky
turbid barn
and gmod feels fine
subtle bison
damn, it was fine back then though albeit a bit janky
so it should be at like your user folder or something like this
it can also be on your D:\ drive
just not the steam folder
turbid barn
yes mine steam is on D
if it would be on C it would be a problem with program files folder since windows has it own rules on it
wispy crest
but instead of default asset i get this
yup, just as i expected, this is a source texture problem, its displaying the alpha maps of the image
when exported as anything but jpeg i believe the image is going to show the alpha map
thorny crag
wait, so making another copy of gmod at the common folder breaks things?
just confirming again lol
subtle bison
wait, so making another copy of gmod at the common folder breaks things?
its just not good practice as steam manages that folder
turbid barn
when exported as anything but jpeg i believe the image is going to show the alph...
dumb question
How to export?
subtle bison
its definitely broken on the C:\ drive since its in program files
wispy crest
dumb question
How to export?
ive exported this from the vtf with vtfedit
lapis delta
<@326199486550376451> well, how are things with the restir?
heeeeey @subtle bison
turbid barn
ive exported this from the vtf with vtfedit
oh, okay
wispy crest
so like
thorny crag
wait does the symlink mean gwater files might end up running too?
subtle bison
heeeeey <@326199486550376451>
no i havent touched it
wispy crest
the texture is still there, its just that the toolkit is displaying the alpha map for some dumb reason
subtle bison
wait does the symlink mean gwater files might end up running too?
no idea, see if it does
wispy crest
no, i dont know why it does that or how to fix it
sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesn't
subtle bison
no idea, see if it does
xenthio did all of the work for symlinking files so im not sure how it handles it
wispy crest
are you trying to extract the difuse from the toolkit? @turbid barn
turbid barn
are you trying to extract the difuse from the toolkit? <@461979326179442699>
yup
the .dds from captures folder
wispy crest
yeah dont
turbid barn
Thank you
lapis delta
no i havent touched it
but will you do anything with the restir?🥺
subtle bison
when things in gmod world have settled down, maybe
subtle bison
when things in gmod world have settled down, maybe
but as i said before, no promises
wispy crest
heres that ar2 from that addon
lapis delta
when things in gmod world have settled down, maybe
too long 😭😭
subtle bison
too long 😭😭
tbf the channel usually chills out every few days
wispy crest
it doesnt want to export it as the 2k texture that it is
keeps doing 512x512
oh it worked with vtfedit reloaded
thorny crag
wtf bro why is it still fucked haha
wispy crest
@turbid barn
thorny crag
holy shit wait i think it could be a workshop addon
wispy crest
this should be the 2k diffuse of the ar2 for mmod
now mmod does the inspect animations so it has different textures for that
thorny crag
what was srlion's hook for again
subtle bison
what was srlion's hook for again
for making lua engine hooks faster, you can remove it
wispy crest
i believe is used in the idle animations
subtle bison
for making lua engine hooks faster, you can remove it
you might have the other old addons as well
wispy crest
or inspect, whatever
thorny crag
ok yeah unsubscribing from everything is still the same
got the rtx remix flashlight cube
and the physgun is transparent lol
wispy crest
@turbid barn you can easily extract addons with gmpublisher
turbid barn
<@461979326179442699> you can easily extract addons with gmpublisher
oooo i've forgot about it
i have it installed
it would be even easier
turbid barn
thanks
thorny crag
same folder as well
just name it test anywhere or in the downloads folder too lol idt my c drive got enough space for it
wispy crest
you most likely will have to make emissives yourself because I can't seem to find a dedicated vtf for them
I know CR was working on mmod pbr stuff, maybe ask him
thorny crag
is that even in the downloads folder or am i tripping
subtle bison
just name it test anywhere or in the downloads folder too lol idt my c drive got...
if you got like 3gb free you should be fine
i put it in my user folder
wispy crest
I would do other weapons and stuff but I hate using ai because imo it looks jank af
though I guess you could use substance painter
if you have infinite time on your hands
subtle bison
substance or instamat is peak
wispy crest
i know skurtyy was working on a substance2remix thing on github
i got it somewhat working but it wouldn't import or export textures into remix directly
but i also know he's updated it and I just havent gotten around to working with it again
thorny crag
i dont need to subscribe to anything at the workshop anymore right?
since everything is already packed with the install
subtle bison
correct
wispy crest
i should peep at instamat
thorny crag
ok let's see then
wispy crest
still havent really learned substance
subtle bison
no something else is going on
subtle bison
anything showing in the problems section
thorny crag
no
subtle bison
so the addon is working, good
so this is something about remix being unable to load replacements
thorny crag
you want me to copy the whole console log
subtle bison
this is happening outside of the game so send me your remix logs instead
wait wtf
i see the water replacement
thorny crag
yes
subtle bison
thorny crag
i forgor to tell you the water replacements and textures work
subtle bison
so its loading them, but why not all of them??? its all under the same mod wtf
thorny crag
it's just those
subtle bison
if you click your transparent physgun in the runtime and press ignore texture, does it fix it
thorny crag
you don't need the logs anymore?
thorny crag
90
subtle bison
guh
thorny crag
my laptop is so good amirite bro
subtle bison
send me your rtx.conf
thorny crag
thorny crag
subtle bison
type version in your gmod console and send the output here
thorny crag

weak ermine
imagine volumetrics from emissives
subtle bison
im missing something here, but idk what lol. All I can say is maybe do a clean install of vanilla? and also disable steam cloud temporarily
after that finishes, do a clean install of gmod rtx as well
subtle bison
if this still doesnt work im gonna be at a loss
i hardly doubt its nvidia drivers but idk anymore lmao
thorny crag
suddenly it's something completely unrelated like
bios software or something
haha aint no way though
subtle bison
it would have to be something that would change game hashes at runtime
lapis delta
tbf the channel usually chills out every few days
listen, how about you help me with all this? i would like to try it myself, and also i would like to hear your recommendations
thorny crag
kernel level anticheat (real)
subtle bison
listen, how about you help me with all this? i would like to try it myself, and ...
i dont have much man, i already told you im barely knowledgeable in that subject matter
subtle bison
it would have to be something that would change game hashes at runtime
do you have clipping software like Medal.tv? ik that caused issues in the past
subtle bison
shouldnt be, i have it on
thorny crag
or actually, i have steam recording enabled but i have it disabled on gmod
subtle bison
lets see if the clean install without steam cloud works first
my guess its a config file that i dont know about
or a texture setting
weak ermine
lapis delta
i dont have much man, i already told you im barely knowledgeable in that subject...
well, okay, where can i start? what ai is best to use for all this?
thorny crag
WAIT, could it be my steam launch parameters
ill get rid of them and also do a clean install please wait lol
do steam launch params affect remix as well?
subtle bison
they shouldnt
subtle bison
i'd clear it out anyway just in case
subtle bison
well, okay, where can i start? what ai is best to use for all this?
any, just something that can look at the dxvk-remix codebase, so a editor like Cursor, or vscode with an extension like https://github.com/cline/cline
i think kim also recommended windsurf because of their generous trial
thorny crag
splendid
subtle bison
lemme ask this, is it only the physgun with that texture issue?
or does the world break too
thorny crag
just the physgun
subtle bison
ok that is even weirder, then my hashes guess was wrong
thorny crag
well sometimes, in previous attempts the world becomes invisible and the dreaded black flat platform thing shows up
it disappears after pressing map fixes though, this time they dont show up
subtle bison
if you turn on the flashlight, other than the green cube showing, does it actually show a light
thorny crag
no, just the cube
with like a pink aura, if aimed towards the ground, in a dark place
thorny crag
i think it's just raytracing being janky though
subtle bison
if you click the green cube in the runtime, can you send a picture with the categorize texture menu open like this?
subtle bison
yea the hash is completely different, is this on gm_construct_rtx?
thorny crag
yes, it does this on all other maps too
subtle bison
yeah so this is definitely a "needle in a haystack" problem lmao
thorny crag
crouching in flatgrass legit just turns everything white
subtle bison
huhh
does this also happen if you launch the game without workshop support? (if not already)
thorny crag
thorny crag
does this also happen if you launch the game without workshop support? (if not a...
yes
subtle bison
ok let me think of something else, send your autoexec.cfg
thorny crag
you think apps that change laptop performance profiles would do anything in this case
subtle bison
yep that looks good too
thorny crag
seems kinda farfetched though
subtle bison
im genuinely stumped lmao
what does this section of the launcher look like? this?
oops
thorny crag
thorny crag
wait im updating my drivers lol
subtle bison
all good, but if its still broken after that, change your resolution ingame and see if it fixes the hashes
someone had a issue like this for the HDRI editor and that was their workaround
thorny crag
and i gotta do that everytime?
subtle bison
if it works, yes
but ideally i'd like to figure out what causes it lol
subtle bison
nvidia moment
subtle bison
it might be doing shader compilation
it will freeze a lot on first start until its finished
thorny crag
ok here's the kicker, i opened the menu before already
twice actually
and in game the green box is still there 🔥
subtle bison
do the resolution thing
thorny crag
imma restart first bro gmod is running at like 5 fps it's atrocious
(and it's still frozen)
ok nvm it's showing the windows end process window
nabro it doesnt work
wispy crest
works on my machine :^)
thorny crag
why did the new drivers butcher my fps bruh
wispy crest
whats ur gpu
wispy crest
oh mobile
subtle bison
maybe try linux 🤓
thorny crag
haha aight bro
subtle bison
🙁
thorny crag
let me just open up my laptop and get my spare ssd rq
wispy crest
no bf6 L
thorny crag
(and void warranty in the process)
subtle bison
(what is warranty)
:3
thorny crag
i fucking hate warranty they're legally dubious
lapis delta
any, just something that can look at the dxvk-remix codebase, so a editor like C...
this?
subtle bison
ye
thorny crag
ok no, my remix fps is just butchered now, actually wtf
subtle bison
try the nvidia studio drivers, they gave my rtx 2080 a massive fps boost over the game ones
wispy crest
what resolution
thorny crag
1080, i didnt touch the resolution settings just in case
the actual monitor is 2560x1600 though
wispy crest
unusual res
willow fog
I need more cool maaaaaps
subtle bison
unusual res
its normal for laptops that have 16:10 displays
wish it was more common for desktop displays
16:10 is peak
willow fog
16:10 is peak
square
subtle bison
hell naw
willow fog
Abandonement
thorny crag
ok legit why does my gmod struggle to reach 10 frames now
willow fog
subtle bison
def not looking like a gmod screenshot lol
subtle bison
pls 🙏
thorny crag
damn my remix just laggy now ig
subtle bison
did you try the studio drivers? or downgrading?
willow fog
thorny crag
downgrading didnt do anything
willow fog
subtle bison
guh
thorny crag
and im on studio drivers rn (no change 💀)
thorny crag
great question
thorny crag
wait are you plugged into a power outlet
yes
raytracing without a power outlet is a deathwish lol
subtle bison
:3
thorny crag
and i have my gpu disabled when disconnected from an outlet so, it would be impossible to start remix
willow fog
raytracing without a power outlet is a deathwish lol
I've melted three wall outlets over the past two years with a 4090
thorny crag
nah that's just a 4090 issue
subtle bison
low wattage gpu supremacy
subtle bison
at least my power connectors dont melt 🤓
thorny crag
it's on ultra performance bru
subtle bison
it's on ultra performance bru
turn off RT, is the fps the same?
subtle bison
uhh something else is happening, it might not be the drivers
how does vanilla gmod perform
thorny crag
vanilla gmod runs fine
subtle bison
is this 10fps on construct?
thorny crag
yes
subtle bison
guhhh
thorny crag
(my c drive is on 10 gigs rn)
subtle bison
what in gods name is happening on your system
thorny crag
it's probably that
willow fog
foaming at the mouth rn
subtle bison
burrito when are these coming 😿
thorny crag
ok what the hell actually, i made a fresh install at the D drive and it's still ultra laggy
hhhh
subtle bison
willow fog
thorny crag
bodycam reshade creators are probably foaming at the mouth rn
willow fog
subtle bison
bodycam reshade creators are probably foaming at the mouth rn
they wish they could attain what gmod rtx does 🤓
thorny crag
yeah if only it worked
willow fog
thorny crag
subtle bison
tbf the issues you are running into are a first for me, hopefully we can get you fixed up
thorny crag
ok the drivers and the hashes are out to get me
because my performance is actually destroyed now
subtle bison
got any other remix games installed? like portal or hl2rtx?
thorny crag
no
subtle bison
gotcha, was gonna ask you to see if you had similar perf issues there
thorny crag
hmm, this is unrelated to the performance issues but this might be the answer for the hash issue
the automatic install brought over reshade folders
subtle bison
ok so its literally bringing everything over 💀
well time to nuke your vanilla install 🤓
subtle bison
so where is it pulling it from?
thorny crag
oh wait, i do that's odd
willow fog
This should work well for the main wall
subtle bison
i would delete the entire GarrysMod folder in addition to uninstalling on steam
willow fog
For the floor
subtle bison
are these all CC0?
thorny crag
it's fine as long as they dont find out
thorny crag
this will be gmod realism in 2015
it wil rival crysis
OKAY so reshade was the problem, the green boxes are gone
that's one problem done, performance is still doo doo though
subtle bison
so reshade broke the hashes?
wack
ima make a mental note of that
for the rust launcher ill add a whitelist of files that should be copied
thorny crag
so reshade broke the hashes?
maybe???
it's the most obvious difference from vanilla gmod
ok wow this is wack, performance is fixed when i route the gpu to the monitor
make sense though, the real question is if it lags like crazy again when i go back to normal
willow fog
ok wow this is wack, performance is fixed when i route the gpu to the monitor
So where is your monitor plugged in?
subtle bison
mux switches be like
willow fog
Quick and dirty bcuz I'm lazy.
subtle bison
maybe just enhance the original textures? (like layer them up in substance or instamat or somth)
i've recreated textures that way before
subtle bison
i also copied over my data folder from my old gmod
if you find the single culprit pls let me know
subtle bison
can u send it over. im curious
thorny crag
wispy crest
incredible series of events happening in here
thorny crag
imagine if it was because of f returning to impulse 100
subtle bison
glad you found this 🙏
thorny crag
so what's the problem?
subtle bison
still looking through it, but my guess so far is the lack of mat_disable_d3d9ex "1"
Though i'm not sure why mine even has that set since autoexec.cfg provides it anyway
ill test your config.cfg on my game and see if it breaks it
hmm yours works fine with my game lol
i guess we still need to override it
thorny crag
haha what
thorny crag
if i delete the old one and launch the game without a cfg, so the game creates a new one yeah it works just fine
if i change the cfg to mine then it does the thing
subtle bison
so i guess you just had a bad config.cfg?
thorny crag
if that's the case why does it work with yours then?
subtle bison
i got no idea lol
anyway, if deleting it fixes it, ill make it a last step as part of the launcher quick install
subtle bison
did you have binds that differ from the normal game?
subtle bison
i did, but i was only in the game for like 30 secs lol
thorny crag
wait actually you should change the contents manually
subtle bison
like copy binds and nothing else?
thorny crag
because before i tried replacing it through file explorer and gmod overwrites it with the default cfg
for some reason
subtle bison
hmm
thorny crag
like copy binds and nothing else?
i meant copy the contents into the file itself

native markdown support 🤤
this just makes me want to remake the c# version lol
subtle bison
yay
so are we gonna have competing versions, im pretty happy working on this one lol
keen rivet
idk I just dont really want to work on one made in rust LOL
But i would like to have a launcher that is crossplatform that we can both work on
subtle bison
fair

If we're both using AI to need to code in rust then we probably shouldn't be using rust lol

dude its really good to work with i fucking love blazor so much
you can just make shit so easily
subtle bison
ill take your word for it, as long as its not dependency hell on linux
we really need the binary simplicity of rust

s&box uses razor/blazor and i have a whole windows remake in it
subtle bison
insane lol

how does the range of 12mb-50mb for the executable sound?
subtle bison
sounds good to me, is that with it statically compiled?
keen rivet
subtle bison
0mb?
keen rivet
self contained 90mb, but without self contained im guessing like maybe in the kilobytes
keen rivet
also there are methods of cutting down .net self contained binaries to even smaller sizes
keen rivet
looking at avaloniaui, gonna see how small i can make a simple exe with it first
how does 33 megabytes sound @subtle bison ?
subtle bison
what are the extra dlls 
but fr its fine
keen rivet
what are the extra dlls <:bobatea:1230140894208983062>
but fr its fine
working on getting rid of those
@subtle bison try run this
if i was compiling from linux apparently i could get it smaller
torpid sedge
i got a notification from windows defender about nvremixlauncher32.exe should i try running gmod anyway or should i try getting that file??
(it said it was removed
subtle bison
no you need to allow it, if you're running the x32 version of the game
torpid sedge
alright ill be running the 64 bit version
subtle bison
in that case you dont need it
