#

some addon caused me to crash.. i just dont know which one

weak ermine
#

disable all

#

profit

brittle token
weak ermine
#

no way

#

sbix?

#

sbox?

brittle token

#

gasys mode

#

incredible gassy

brittle token
#

NOooo

weak ermine
#

yeeeee

brittle token
#

this dumb addon was making my fps go from 30 fps to 2 fps

#

this mf fell from the ceiling and scared the f out of me

polar anchor
brittle token
#

ye

#

the volumetrics do get kinda annoying, even though they are disabled

meager oar
#

me too

polar anchor
brittle token
#

it's a lot less greenish tinted than expected, tried turning off ray tracing. process went kaboom

polar anchor
brittle token
#

omgg that looks so well-

#

aaand the concrete tube is glowing

#

still haven't replaced the gas station part ceiling lights with planes to avoid the metal roof self-reflecting

#

it's about to start pondering the meaning of it's life. that can NOT be allowed

keen rivet
#

these are actually really decent upscales, probably the best ive seen ai do.

turbid barn
#

no way

#

it looks like from ambientfg

#

these two are nice

compact blaze
#

what tools did you use for this result

turbid barn
#

i've just wanted to ask the same question lol

runic gale
#

For grass textures it had the Foliage refine enabled.

#

Here's normal and Upscalled Wood Texture.

runic gale
#

yea

subtle bison
runic gale
#

normal and upscaled

weak ermine
#

more like blurred

#

ultra blurred

runic gale
#

crappy css camera quality

#

much better

keen rivet
#

You should do something with these replacements

#

Upload them to moddb

😶

#

personally i would not like to include AI upscaled assets in the main project

winter radish
subtle bison
#

i dont think we use any AI assets in p2 rtx?

winter radish
#

Even for the Steam publishing initiative, I ask that a majority of the assets are not AI

subtle bison
#

wheatley's albedo was AI upscaled with stable diffusion but i used a lot of controlnet masks, and all of the PBR was manually done via substance painter

#

you cant even tell it was AI 🤓

#

because it was 90% manual work

winter radish
subtle bison
#

😿

willow fog
#

I didn't know the slop was supposed to be final

subtle bison
willow fog
#

You know what it looks like

subtle bison
#

i just told you it has none of the usual ai looking stuff because it was so heavily masked 💀

#

ill get a pic hold on

#

i even made the eye by scratch 😿

willow fog
#

But I can still that it LOOKS off

subtle bison
#

how, there is like 5 different layers on top of it 💀

#

the 2nd one is admittedly pretty rough looking, i think i did dirty wheatley first so i was still getting the hang of substance

#

clean wheatley (1st vid) looks good to me imo

winter radish
subtle bison
#

guh

#

lets just add burrito to the team then

winter radish

wispy crest
#

there are tons of free pbr materials out there

subtle bison
#

ye but a lot of them dont usually mix with the original asset
If i go that route i usually try to mix them in substance

wispy crest
#

way better than plugging stuff into an ai upscaler

wispy crest
subtle bison
#

ye that generator should not have a sheen like that

#

if anything the original diffuse looks pretty close to irl lmao

wispy crest
runic gale
#

yea

subtle bison
#

going back to our roots 🔥

#

welcome back custom render code, i missed you

#

311fps on construct is peak

weak ermine
#

and no lights

#

imagine remix api lights

subtle bison
#

lightupdater will be replaced with remix api lights, patience

weak ermine
#

what about moddb launcher support

subtle bison
subtle bison
#

which is why hl2rtx model replacments will not work, at least for now

subtle bison
#

its not replacing the normal gmod rtx, its just an optional version

weak ermine
#

mp works?

subtle bison
#

idk i just started 30 mins ago

weak ermine
#

damn

weak ermine
#

now mp works?

subtle bison
#

mp has been working

#

since 0.8.0

winter radish
#

mp works?

subtle bison
turbid barn
weak ermine
#

yammy

subtle bison
#

i missed you voidplaces

subtle bison
#

200fps in construct remastered ❤️
also i forgot my custom render addons actually hide the 3d skybox so it actually looks pretty decent

#

3dsky says hi

willow fog
#

cr is up to shenanigans

subtle bison
#

im up to peak shenanigans

weak ermine
wispy crest
#

the thing on the wrist

#

it really shouldn't glow at all

willow fog
#

And promptly ignored

weak ermine
#

yeah bro

wispy crest
#

rude

weak ermine
subtle bison
#

ever since i removed the model fixes from the binary module, my random gmod crashes have stopped...
I guess our signatures need to be updated for newest gmod?

#

its weird because they still work as hl2rtx replacements work fine

keen rivet
subtle bison
#

yea

#

i havent been too active due to me working on gmod rtx mostly

keen rivet
#

Damnnn

keen rivet
#

Damn

#

I don't get random crashes last I checked

subtle bison
#

ik you did 99% of the work on this, i have no idea where to start to get new signatures

#

it doesnt crash in the module which is what makes it hard to debug lmao

#

its always in engine.dll

keen rivet
subtle bison
#

wait i think i fucked up

#

i also removed like 90% of the engine binary patches, those could also be causing it 💀

#

sorry lmao

subtle bison
keen rivet
#

Ye I heard of the fork

#

I have no clue how mod compatibility will go in that

subtle bison
#

wdym

#

like mesh replacements?

keen rivet
#

Like any mod that relies on how gmod renders

subtle bison
#

oh, well i guess nothing breaks since it was the primary render method for x64 for a while lol

keen rivet
#

also animated models sounds like a nightmare lol

subtle bison
#

and static props and displacments

keen rivet
#

Ah

#

Does the fixes not still contain those options? What's the reason for a fork?

subtle bison
keen rivet
#

Fair enough

subtle bison
#

oops wrong reply

#

the goal is to get the module to do the heavily lifting, and using only lua render hooks to present the vertexes, faces, etc. I'm hoping its easier than just hooking but i guess i will find out

subtle bison
keen rivet
#

Fair enough, I knew that already, I can't wait to see performance improvements

#

My main concern is dividing the replacements on moddb

subtle bison
#

wdym?

brittle token
#

i wonder if there's any way to make models render smooth, like in blender

subtle bison
#

iirc we do, just some models in particular are a bit weird

brittle token
#

the obj's get a bit quirky at night

meager oar
winter radish
glass plinth
#

it's so weird coming back to gmod rtx after a couple of months and just having it work flawlessly with all my mods

keen rivet
#

speaking of mod replacements

#

does moddb have an api

runic gale
keen rivet
#

@burnt agate Hey, so I co develop one of the launchers for gmod rtx and I was wondering if moddb has any sort of public api or anything? All I can find is stuff for mod.io which doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for. Sorry for the ping, lol.

subtle bison
#

but maybe I can get the static prop hashes to match?

#

idk

keen rivet
#

maybe but i think that relies on how exactly they're composed and sent to direct x

subtle bison
#

ye that is my worry

#

worst comes to worst, i can come up with some way to create an alternative USDA set for hl2rtx assets

#

i dont think anyone does mesh replacements outside of that anyway

keen rivet
subtle bison
#

sure

keen rivet
#

where we create a table of two hashes across the two systems that are really the same thing

subtle bison
#

yea i vaguely remember you talking about it before

glass plinth
#

for some reason all of the maps i'm trying default to the same blue skybox, and I can't find the map's skybox texture anywhere

keen rivet
#

i think thats the default texture for when a map uses a shader based skybox

glass plinth
#

is there a way i can fix it without resorting to HDRI?

torpid sedge
#

^only fix that i can think of and that ive done was using skybox editor

glass plinth
#

🥀

#

I remember it being as easy as assigning textures to the Sky, I must have been lucky with my map choices

keen rivet
#

rough idea for if moddb does have an api or something

winter radish
#

Ez

#

I’m sure there’s a few around here somewhere

modern quest
#

an official API would be best

glass plinth
#

anyone know what the cause of this issue is? I'm assuming it is because the gamemode's UI is 3D but I can't find wherever this Picture-in-Picture thing is to remove it

wispy crest
#

what did you do

glass plinth
#

nothing, I was just curious to see how Gmod RTX would do with the Map Sweepers gamemode

glass plinth
keen rivet
polar anchor
glass plinth
#

I’m sure that’s what I need to do, I just can’t find the UI elements anywhere when looking through the categories

polar anchor
glass plinth
#

I’ll try that tomorrow and I’ll share the results, should I unmount some games so I don’t have as much bloat to sort through?

#

I have HL1:S, TF2, L4D2, and Portal mounted

polar anchor
#

since they dont really look good with remix lol

keen rivet
#

Does anyone want to try out the new version of the rtx launcher before I merge it into main? I feel like I might possibly be forgetting features?

keen rivet
#

ok fuck it i'm merging

runic gale
polar anchor
runic gale
keen rivet
#

replaced I think, but I wont do a proper release until i'm sure its working

polar anchor
# runic gale

The ground looks really good though id have to say the Metal Sheeting wall texture kinda looks odd in the 4th image

runic gale
keen rivet
#

the PBR workflow for those textures seems really good

#

the upscaler is kinda crap but otherwise those are really good

runic gale
keen rivet
#

got the automatic builds doing the linux thing now

hushed trail
#

Trying to get this working on the steam deck.

#

Is there a way for me to direct it to my Garry’s mod install? It doesn’t detect it.

turbid barn
#

ik there are much more maps

#

it's the map i remember

turbid barn
#

i've met simillar bug using Tarkov HUD

keen rivet
#

but @subtle bison I win the battle of being first to launch on steam deck troll_i386

#

Guess that just means I need to somehow detect Steam installation location on Linux

turbid barn
subtle bison
subtle bison
keen rivet
#

Also I merged the codebases

#

I think some features might be missing like the auto extraction mounting stuff

subtle bison
wintry hornet
subtle bison
#

got an example?

wintry hornet
wintry hornet
#

it works perfectly normal in gmod but in rtx gmod it doesnt render it

subtle bison
#

since the player model selector is rasterized, it just means it doesnt render in source engine's fixed function path

#

not much can be done for that

#

the model author would have to re-compile the model in a sw.vtx model format that is compatible

#

and if that doesnt work, its something else unknown to me

wintry hornet
#

i see i mean i created the model so i will try to recompile the sw.vtx then thanks for letting me know

winter radish
#

You’re second

subtle bison
#

@winter radish does my launcher work? isforme

winter radish
wispy crest
runic gale
#

idk man

wispy crest
#

you not sending the images in the same message so i can quickly swap between them with arrow keys

#

second one you did

runic gale
#

yea

wispy crest
#

also those brick tiles are too deep

runic gale
wispy crest
#

the thing separating the tiles are grout, not ravines

#

there should be no relative elevation change

#

i know you are using ai, but the ai is thinking is a deep gap

runic gale
runic gale
wispy crest
#

and I know it looks good at first glance, but anything more it just looks wrong

runic gale
wintry hornet
#

Okay so I figured out what it was and I'll be leaving this as a fix for anyone who has same issue as I did with model not rendering

#

So appearntly the issue occures when you got too many vertexs on the model once it meets up 21000 vertexs it renders it normal above that number it will cause an error and not being able to render it

#

Hope it helps anyone in the near future

subtle bison
#

so do you just reduce it?

#

im gonna assume the shader backend of gmod doesnt have this limit as well?

hushed trail
#

Is there a location I can manually launch it from?

subtle bison
hushed trail
#

It found my experimental

#

Do I need x64?

subtle bison
#

it should work for x32 but it doesnt hurt to try

#

when you press launch, steam should open up and launch the copy of the game.

#

i think im gonna throw steamos on my bc250 so i can test this as well, maybe im not accounting for something unique on the deck

subtle bison
#

looks like the steamos kernel is a little too old for the bc250 so im doing bazzite, i hope its close enough

wintry hornet
#

sorry for late respond

wintry hornet
subtle bison
#

if you turn of RT in the runtime, it will still not render

subtle bison
#

all good

wintry hornet
subtle bison
#

yeah ill keep that in mind, glad the cause was found

wintry hornet
#

i mean one person stated some half life alyx models arent rendering either and said it could be the issue with like bin folder due of fixes being applied but i think its cuz those models use more vertexs and dont render properly cuz of it even the gmod console it self says the rendering error

subtle bison
#

im not an expert on source models, but is it not possibble to slice those up into seperate meshes to stay under the limit without reducing polygon count?

wintry hornet
# subtle bison im not an expert on source models, but is it not possibble to slice those up int...

i mean it can in bodygroups but my model was a whole thing as one which is why i didnt want to reduce any vertexs on it for example you cant put i believe arms and legs as bodygroups or as a whole model you can put like hats caps and those sort of small body groups but the problem on my end was my whole model was a high poly model and i used blender source tool to reduce the vertexs for it sure it makes it look like low poly model but its how it works

subtle bison
#

gotcha

hushed trail
#

Has anyone tried lsfg? I can’t seem to get any of my source rtx games to boot with it. But I’m not sure if I have it installed correctly, or if the steam deck just can’t handle all that.

subtle bison
#

lsfg on linux or just on windows?

#

ik there was a decky plugin just recently made that ported it

#

but i havent tried it

#

still trying to get bazzite to run my launcher atm lol, i fucked up some compile flags

hushed trail
subtle bison
#

ill give it a go in a bit if i can figure out my current issue

willow fog
#

How are we feeling today, chat?

wintry hornet
willow fog
#

I woke up. It's The middle of the night. Probably gonna fall asleep again.

wintry hornet

subtle bison
# hushed trail Do I need x64?

got the launcher running finally, it seems to "just" work for me on bazzite after telling it to autodetect the proton install

hushed trail
#

I must have the Curse of the Pharaoh unfortunately

subtle bison
#

did it ever launch for you on x64?

#

you do have to reinstall gmod rtx when switching branches

#

and i assume you have set gmod to use proton?

hushed trail
#

I did reinstall, and yeah no didn’t launch on x64

#

It try’s, I see the play button start then stop almost immediately.

#

Almost too fast in a way that makes me think it’s not trying anythng

subtle bison
#

sounds like proton itself is crashing

#

does the vanilla game run?

#

gmod rtx will use the same compatdata folder as vanilla, so vanilla should be having the same issue

glass plinth
turbid barn
#

try cl_showhud 0

glass plinth
#

i found two duplicate screen textures but disabling them does nothing

turbid barn
#

if it won't help - idk then

glass plinth
#

and for some reason cl_showhud doesn't register as a command, but thats fine because I think the hud is essential to the Map Sweepers gamemode

#

its like the camera is fixed in one position when i'm not in a vehicle/not looking up

turbid barn
#

my bad

#

cl_drawhud 0

#

i still can't remember this dvar lol

steel lark
#

my game never crashes but now it does very frequently since i've update my gmod install😭

subtle bison
#

ye newest x64 is very unstable and rubat is on vacation

#

x32 is recommended atm

weak ermine
#

wht

#

dammit

wintry hornet
#

im so impressed how lighting renders in rtx gmod gosh im fan girling

winter radish
subtle bison
#

i haven't looked into the actual swep but i think it uses some unique method of taking screenshots. It shouldn't be too hard to fix ngl

glass plinth
keen rivet
#

CR could I kindly request your help in getting the linux version of the c# launcher working 🥺

subtle bison
#

so my rust one can be killed? /s burgerpleading

#

lmao

keen rivet
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

idk

#

how good is the ui framework

#

i'm thinking about the mod browser

subtle bison
#

which ui framework, yours or egui?

keen rivet
#

egui

#

like is making that easy in yours?

#

its pretty darn easy in mine

subtle bison
#

its easy for the AI, but absolutely not for me

keen rivet
#

lol i mean fair

#

idk personally i don't want to be gated out of working on the launcher :(

subtle bison
#

yeah im not trying to do that, i was joking with the first comment

#

but i do like my rust launcher so idk how we're gonna settle on the launcher thing lol

#

i dont mind helping you on yours at all

keen rivet
#

merge them into the best launcher

subtle bison
#

if i had to "sunset" the rust launcher, i would like to carry over the UI, i think it looks pretty clean

willow fog
#

Stalemate resolution button

keen rivet
#

I sorta carried over some of what i liked about it

#

i want to do that setup screen too

subtle bison
#

yea my goal for mine was to remove ambiguity

keen rivet
#

but also i took my own creative liberties

#

like the progress up here with the most recent logging shown

subtle bison
#

is it hidden when no operations are running?

keen rivet
#

no it just says that

subtle bison
#

i meant the progress bar

keen rivet
#

no, but i can probably hide it

#

i dont mind it visible tbh

subtle bison
#

im fine with that too, i personally kept mine hidden but thats a small nitpick lol

keen rivet
#

the contents of the tabs are basically identical to the winforms version

subtle bison
#

we should probably clean it up a bit, or at least hide stuff behind a disclaimer

keen rivet
#

yep

#

i feel bad for basically pushing for the killing of your rust launcher but idk i want to work on it too lol

subtle bison
#

i think we're both at a standstill since we're pretty much matched on features lmao

#

only one way to go now

#

we'll make yours the primary

keen rivet
#

how do you find the library folder automatically? i'm thinking like

        var potentialPaths = new[]
        {
            Path.Combine(homePath, ".local", "share", "Steam"),
            Path.Combine(homePath, ".steam", "steam"),
            Path.Combine(homePath, ".var", "app", "com.valvesoftware.Steam", "data", "Steam") // flatpak
        };

        return potentialPaths.FirstOrDefault(Directory.Exists);
subtle bison
keen rivet
#

thats totally fair

subtle bison
#

iirc i have a non-steamlocate method that looks like yours

keen rivet
#

i just slapped that method in but no idea if itll work

#

i don't have a linux machine to test on is my issue

subtle bison
#

you can make a vm if you want, but i can do the linux work if you're okay with it. I got a few systems with different distros so I can also carry out the testing

keen rivet
#

that would be epic, i don't have the storage for a vm lmao

subtle bison
#

dead

keen rivet
#

also virtualisation on windows is a nightmare

subtle bison
#

just use vmware workstation, its free now

keen rivet
#

i wouldn't actually be able to test the installs on linux because no gpu in the vm

subtle bison
keen rivet
#

i was gonna swap to linux as a host with my main being windows as a guest because of this, but never got around to commiting to doing that

subtle bison
#

if you dont wanna fight recent kernel AC stuff, i wouldnt do VFIO, unless you dont care about that stuff

#

but its definitely a fun journey

keen rivet
#

i have a linux mate that says if you setup a vm just right, you can avoid all of that

subtle bison
#

yeah i've done it as well

#

for some reason vrchat has a really solid guide on how to workaround 99% of it lmao

#

guess a lot of linux players

keen rivet
#

lmao

#

i'll look at that probably then if i ever do want to do that

subtle bison
#

found it

#

crazy

keen rivet
subtle bison
#

worky

keen rivet
#

hooray!

#

i suppose I should introduce you to the new project structure, too.

#

core is where any non UI specific stuff lives, its like basically the functionality of the launcher

subtle bison
#

avalonia being the GUI?

keen rivet
#

this means the winforms project is stupid simple

subtle bison
keen rivet
subtle bison
#

why didnt you tell me the fluent design is so sexy 🤤

keen rivet
#

i disliked it actually lool

subtle bison
#

color scheme or actual design?

keen rivet
#

both?

subtle bison
#

lol

keen rivet
#

colour scheme mainly

#

too contrasty

#

its meant to look like the windows 11 fluent design guidelines, but its missing the crucial thing that is the slightly transparent window backdrop, so everything is stupid high contrast

subtle bison
#

ill have to look at the avalonia docs to see what else it supports evil_gang

keen rivet
#

those are default two themes

#

but many more exist

#

here's a funny one i found

subtle bison
#

might as well include xp

keen rivet
#

i mean i think my 9x theme for s&box ui is better but thats still good

subtle bison
#

ok no this is REQUIRED

#

🤤

keen rivet
#

lmao

#

i want to make the vgui theme

#

i think that would be funny

subtle bison
#

make it do the hl2 menu sounds too

keen rivet
#

lmao vgui doesnt have sounds but i guess i can

steel lark
#

no sounds pls 💀

subtle bison
#

lol

subtle bison
keen rivet
#

thats vgui2

#

vgui1 is in half life 1, used for ingame stuff like the team picker in cs and tf and stuff, but in steam version of hl1 it also includes vgui2 for the main menu, replacing the win32 based WON menu

steel lark
#

xash3d's menu 😂

keen rivet
#

ive got prior experience in making a vgui theme for something, so i reckon I can cook hard for this

subtle bison
#

im messing with some hardware stuff atm, but ill get into the linux stuff sometime tonight or tomorrow btw

subtle bison
#

bruh

keen rivet
subtle bison
#

bro said we need source 2 running on goldsrc

subtle bison
keen rivet
subtle bison
keen rivet
#

it even has a ui designer lol

subtle bison
#

wtf

keen rivet
#

and also a test scene that is a stupid accurate recreation of windows 9x

#

including an x86 emulator that can run real windows exes with a reimplementation of windows

subtle bison
#

tf

keen rivet
subtle bison
#

the fucking xenthio start menu lmfao

#

peak

keen rivet
hushed trail
#

Let me try switching back to x86

keen rivet
#

is it the linux version of gmod?

#

that might show up as unknown

hushed trail
#

Oh I think it is

#

I don’t want that do I

keen rivet
#

nope

hushed trail
#

Even on the x64 branch it’s still Linux

#

How do I avoid downloading the Linux version

keen rivet
#

uhhh

#

idk

#

i think theres an option

#

its like use compatibility tool

#

and you can select proton

subtle bison
hushed trail
#

Ah I had no idea it downloaded different binaries for the game. Thought I had it already active. That’ll probably fix it

keen rivet
brittle token
#

i think i accidentally summoned some kind of demon while playing around with an ai

keen rivet
weak ermine
#

imagine hl2 alone with hl2rtx assets

#

alone and realistic

#

just like in real life

compact blaze
compact blaze
compact blaze
subtle bison
compact blaze
#

do u think rubat knows about gmod remix

subtle bison
#

probably

#

but i have reasons to think it's not something he'd provide support for

compact blaze
wispy crest
#

the other 1 times its just not possible

dense crow
wispy crest
#

this is super interesting

#

but the description says "-Infinity Ward for most of the models base clothing and gear"

#

which makes me think that if I were to exact bf4's textures, it wouldn't line up 1:1

dense crow
#

sssss

#

Sorry for spam

brittle token
#

i'll never understand how some people battle tooth and nails against the hammer editor to make a map and then proceed to forget to make the icon

willow fog
#

Kek

brittle token
#

kinda wish there was an addon that makes the icon

#

even a screencap of the spawnroom's view would help

#

that might take a bit of a while, and not even work under normal addon's rules, but damn, it'd be a significant upgrade

subtle bison
#

its funny because iirc you just need a .png named as the map

brittle token
#

yeah, i think so, only did it once tho, but it was quite easy

subtle bison
brittle token
#

not sure how an addon would go about doing it tho

subtle bison
#

you would pack the addon with it

#

so the .bsp and .png would be next to each other

brittle token
#

hope more map makers do that, it's instantly a better map if i can get in it without having to read the name

subtle bison
brittle token
#

i dont think gmod plays well with absurd res'

brittle token
#

ooh

#

didn't know it could just be placed along side it

subtle bison
#

yep

brittle token
#

thought it had to go to the materials

#

smart gmod

subtle bison
#

gmod map makers be lackin

brittle token
#

they a different breed, i wouldn't touch the hammer editor again not even with a stick

subtle bison
#

hammmer++ is a breath of fresh air

brittle token
#

After I got rid of that problem it made another one

The reason why it failed it’s because my drivers were outdated

would be preferable if it was like cycles, recommended to be used with the gpu, but in a last resort, you can just use cpu rendering

subtle bison

i guess the good news is that RT capable gpus are becoming more common each year

even intel iGPUs

It can be place in program files, like steamapps works fine, and for launching you dont need the admin perms, so its just annoying asking for that

#

and install doesn't even require admin perms for some people, like me

#

so its kinda odd

subtle bison
#

still introduces complexity

#

i'd rather entirely remove user error from the launcher

#

makes support less of a nightmare

keen rivet

thats why this error exists I guess, I would want to make this actually work and help properly though

getting display resolution detection to work on wayland and xorg was a pain for the rust launcher, i just added a fuck ton of common resolutions

#

no complaints so far 🤓

#

current launcher does this too

keen rivet

I just realised I forgot to add back all the other resolution options lmao

does the vgui theme look correct on linux? i feel like font might render differently

ill try latest action rq

maybe turn on font smoothing for linux lol

oh fuck that checkbox is a windows font lemao

wait linux doesnt come with webdings?

even macOS does

prob, but i imagine that depends on the distro

or even what kind of webdings font it uses

#

fluent looked fine

keen rivet

yeah im using webdings though because thats the correct checkbox i need

The most common RT GPUs like RDNA 2 still can’t run

#

Turing and Ampere seem to be the most common NVIDIA GPUs

#

And then Intel ARC, I don’t even see them on the Steam charts

I mean, since it’s Vulkan
You can use RADV on a bunch of older GPUs then for VRAD

just wait to see what i can do with gmod rtx when i enter middle school

gmod native rtx

without any engine staff

winter radish
weak ermine
#

i don't think so

subtle bison

yea if we could move to the shader backend of source i would be so fucking happy

#

could remove engine patches entirely

weak ermine

maybe ssrtgi yes

but full ray tracing

i should probably take a look at what engine hooks it uses 👁️

winter radish

We had Gmod RTX before Gmod RTX SadMimi

subtle bison

weak ermine

we had gmod rtx before gmod pt

Imagine we had the option between DXR and Vulkan for Gmod RTX Rene_Drool

weak ermine
#

stop stealing ideas from my head

winter radish
winter radish
#

I wonder if the Remix imgui could be reused since it seems to also be imgui

subtle bison
#

i am not implementing an entirely different render framework, i just want the methods and engine hooks it uses to pass mesh data

winter radish
#

Wait, so does this mean we technically have a DXR pathtracer for Source?

weak ermine
#

thats what gmod without updated graphics do to people

subtle bison
turbid barn
#

i wish we'd ever have cool realistic re-animation addon on xdr base

hasty sonnet
#

this is my literal reaction

winter radish
#

@subtle bison was it Windows or Linux that RayReconstruction worked on RDNA 4?

subtle bison
#

it was a bug with optiscaler with spoofing nvgnx extensions

#

it never actually worked since the RR model relies on cuda iirc

#

so it just broke the denoiser when turning it on

#

It did that on both platforms

The custom windows decorations I'm curious about

keen rivet

i only have these 2 downloaded on hand right now lmao

10 minutes of black screen

this is my personal opinion but we should be targeting wayland only

x11 is pretty dead

subtle bison
#

i use windows just as much 👅

keen rivet
#

ok now i got a distro running that actually wants to behave, i can try and see if i can fix this

keen rivet
#

guess ill just have to make it not use custom controls on linux 😔

#

i made it load the correct vgui font for the checkboxes and updown arrows from gmod if gmod is installed, and fall back to the ones you see there if it isn't (which is dumb if its not because gmod rtx installer lol)

subtle bison
# keen rivet

what font is gnome using to make the launcher look like ass

i feel like my screenshot looked a lot better lol

don't know what else to do with the launcher, lol.

except the 50 series is still plagued with driver bugs

I don’t even use FG

ik mesa driver on linux has ray tracing emulation

it only does it once, per frame

where is 0.5x frame gen

winter radish
brittle token
keen rivet
#

i wish there were two extra rendering modes in rtx remix

turbid barn
# brittle token 30 fps -> 30 fps

btw in optiscaler you can add amd fsr fg to any game that doesn't have fg at all
and
you can enable it (2x) and there is a button called something like "only generated frames"

#

so you've got 30 ai frames instead of real lol

brittle token
turbid barn
winter radish
keen rivet
# subtle bison guh

one is a raster render the style of source 2, where RTX is used for realtime lightmaps.
second is a raytracing renderer (not full pt) where its like quake 2 rtx raytracing
third is full pathtrace we have right now

winter radish
subtle bison
#

they're probably all possible but that would require significant refactors in remix

turbid barn
#

since it's uses motion vectors it looks nice
i've tested:
on 130 fps with no fg, 205 fps with fg,
turning on "only generated frames" it keeps like 102 fps
and they look nice
it's very very hard to find artifacts

#

unlike for example base of 30 fps

keen rivet
keen rivet
winter radish
#

Remix is far more complex and packs a lot more features that takes performance

keen rivet
#

oh then 2nd would be more like cyberpunk's raytracing mode

#

not fullly pathtraced

Like RayTracing psycho

keen rivet

i didnt update gmod itself

subtle bison

is it the module itself? i couldn't reproduce anything there

keen rivet

but does it affect pbr materials?
