38 on linux
subtle bison
yay my pbr physgun is 3rd place 😻
keen rivet
kinda funny in the vgui theme too
the N/A was going to be mod info, but thats not actually something moddb displays from the mod browse page at all
would mean extra request needed, so not doing it.
keen rivet
looks sick
its getting sicker somebody get a doctor
ok imma have lunch anyone feel free to work on rtxlauncher stuff without worrying about merge boogery
brittle token
is it normal for infmaps to straight up not render?
even after disabling rtx
i can only see the spawn plataform
ok nvm, did it spawn me before it even loaded??
god giveth. gode taketh awaeth
subtle bison
depending on the map, infmaps take a long while to load
you can check the progress in the console
brittle token
hopefully this means it's loading right
brittle token
heall yeah it's loading
subtle bison
ye
the infmap should render fine, but NPCs, props, and other entities wont render since they arent matching the world origin
otherwise if you are in the map limits, it should all look fine
brittle token
i dont think it liked me existing inside that map
oh nvm it's back
nvm it gone again
im going to assume it didn't crash
wacky ass scan
oh shit, it just shot up to 60 fps
thought rtx was on, it was, not
the color of gmod killed the youtube video i was watching
subtle bison
i dont think it liked me existing inside that map
infmap freezes shouldn't be that common unless you're on like x32

is it possible to make something like "hash detection"
and then make a old / new hashes switcher?
so people can see which mods will run?
keen rivet
is it possible to make something like "hash detection"
oh i dont think so... hmm
unless people put it in the description or something
livid rapids
I was thinking of that
but if we're gonna keep this hash system for hl2rtx I don't think it matters honestly, just see if the file was updated recently
When did we switch to the "new" hash system?
turbid barn
but if we're gonna keep this hash system for hl2rtx I don't think it matters hon...
yes, but then xenthio need to mark them manually or make a "note"
since from ~jan2025 mods were on obsoletehashes, and then since june2025(ig?) mods were on old hashes again iirc
livid rapids
I guess marking by last update should be fine
subtle bison
When did we switch to the "new" hash system?
it happened in december in a gmod update where the exe's were renamed from hl2.exe to gmod.exe
turbid barn

but now we're again on old hashes so old mods works well?
turbid barn
no matter the settings
gm_construct?
subtle bison
specs?
subtle bison
also clipping with medal will surely mess stuff up
subtle bison
so if you set DLSS to ultra performance, does your FPS change at all?
if not, you're severely cpu bottlenecked or something else on your system is lagging things hard

on hl2 rtx its fine
turbid barn
on hl2 rtx its fine
strange
viscid ocean
are you loading with or without addons?
either way it still does the game
i fixed it
WTF
I CLICKED RESET ALL AND MANUALLY DID IT AND IT FIXED
shit rtx.conf

как же оно выглядит ебейше (cool screenshot)

I CLICKED RESET ALL AND MANUALLY DID IT AND IT FIXED
i think i know what caused

I've removed most of those settings in 0.8.1, the rtx.conf also leaves them off by default

@subtle bison were you satisfied with the copy, lol
subtle bison
sure lol
zealous narwhal
This map looks pretty :)
wind yoke
I remember my GeForce 3 choking on that one
keen rivet
@subtle bison so in terms of linux support of the launcher, what was needed? I've got the auto steam detection done, is that about it? maybe the launching process needs tweaking to use proton?
subtle bison
ye, you need to make steam think its running vanilla gmod but actually run the gmod rtx version so it inherits the steam auth
otherwise you get a no steamuser error
turbid barn
remind me what i've did wrong?
keen rivet
is that hl2rtx stuff? you need to extract the package files
turbid barn
is that hl2rtx stuff? you need to extract the package files
launcher one doesnt work?
or whatever
i've didn't read what is says 💀
keen rivet
@subtle bison oh btw, I'm like 99% sure i accidentally like destroyed the rtxio extraction stuff when i did the codebase reshuffle, I figured I should tell you lol
keen rivet

are you using the latest release or some developer build

latest
keen rivet
should work then

rtxio extraction stuff is broken atm anyway
keen rivet
oh lol
subtle bison
i think nvidia changed something about how they do deps for building dxvk-remix and i havent looked into it beyond that
the tool for extraction is the same, just not acquiring it
subtle bison
see if it works 🫃
keen rivet
i cant lol
subtle bison
why
keen rivet
i dont have the storage to setup a linux install with steam and a new gmod install
subtle bison
also it wouldnt run in the vm anyways because no gpu
you would be able to see steam launching it at least\
keen rivet
ok the build is building
subtle bison
ill prob be a while before i can get around to doing it
zealous narwhal
What is causing these vertex explosions?
winter radish
What is causing these vertex explosions?
Fun fact, the server is currently hosting this map
Anyway
@subtle bison VERTEX EXPLOSIONS
subtle bison
my first assumption is it's an addon doing it, or you have r_3dsky enabled
I didn't have any vertex explosions on that map the last time i tried
brittle token
has anyone been able to make umbral work with rtx?
mine just crashes
withour rt on it just goes at like, 6 fps, i suppose it crashes since remix helps push those last 6 fps into the trash
and set it on fire
zealous narwhal
my first assumption is it's an addon doing it, or you have r_3dsky enabled
I uninstalled every addon I have except for the FNAF map, and I have disabled r_3dsky
I still see vertex explosions

subtle bison
ooh.. fuck
im hoping at least after my college shit is over, i can push my custom render fork of gmod rtx as it does workaround this problem

☝️maybe we could talk to-
subtle bison
rubat got them snipers 👁️
brittle token
doesnt use source engine render paths at all
knowing source, that sounds like a damn good thing
subtle bison
yea i eventually want to get remix to render level geometry as i did that in portal 2 rtx and the fps boost is so massive since we can just turn off engine rendering lmao
brittle token
kinda sad to not be able to play umbral with rt, but to be honest, gmod rtx doesn't handle volumetrics the best
subtle bison
you mean those massive alphacard particles?
brittle token
you mean those massive alphacard particles?
yeah
subtle bison
yea thats one way to also kill FPS on the GPU side
brittle token
yea thats one way to also kill FPS on the GPU side
some of it is even animated, effects wise? wild.
Performance on rt wise? wild
subtle bison
maybe if i get the time, i can try that map with the wip code i got
would be nice to see how remix handles it

i haven't checked portal 2 rtx yet, is it playable?
i happen to be something of a portal 2 owner myself
subtle bison
the compat mod has done a lot of the early levels
its playbe but the entire rest of the game needs work lighting wise
on the offical project im working on, the glados wakeup level is horribly CPU bottlenecked
so i had to re-render the entire level in remix to mitigate it
brittle token

Why is the GitHub version so broken <:SadMimi:669500453955829782>
gmod?
damn, portal has been running for like, 15 minutes straight hogging cpu, and not doing anything really
never even saw orange dots on portal 2
summoned the console, entered a map, kabloom
turbid barn
What is causing these vertex explosions?
i've didn't faced any issues on this map
turbid barn
has anyone been able to make umbral work with rtx?
for me it's 1-2 fps
too many particles
i can't even open remix menu
winter radish
still no vulkan support lol
Yeah, I don’t think even started
Gotta remember the FSR 4 lead left
keen rivet
good morning gmodrtxians
subtle bison
subtle bison
has anyone been able to make umbral work with rtx?
@brittle token
there are so many things i had to click ignore on until i got my fps into double digits
alpha effects were killing remix lmao
3K static props and 1.3K would kill normal gmod rtx yep
cutting the render distance to about half restores a lot of FPS in remix
maybe i should add fog with it so its like minecraft lmao
keen rivet
Gary mod
compact blaze
cutting the render distance to about half restores a lot of FPS in remix
Wouldn’t there be the issue of far away large light sources being cut off
subtle bison
those will be rendered with remix api lights
also every map can/will have its own render distance setting the user can change
by default its no limits
compact blaze
Ah ok thx
brittle token
3K static props and 1.3K would kill normal gmod rtx yep
damn
subtle bison
@winter radish maybe you were right, this lego map is running a lot worse than i last remembered
maybe its some kind of regression in remix?
fixed it 🫃
subtle bison
"A working camera swep in MY garry's mod RTX? It's more likely than you think"

Huh? Right about what?
winter radish
maybe its some kind of regression in remix?
Peak Remix performance was 0.5.1
subtle bison
Huh? Right about what?
perf regressions in remix
subtle bison
usda toggling is enabling some very cool things
the usda toggling thing i added here?
it was meant for p2 rtx and i did not test it much lmao
winter radish
perf regressions in remix
I’ve been yelling it for awhile
subtle bison
I’ve been yelling it for awhile <:SadMimi:669500453955829782>
ik, but it seems like its only reproducable in certain situations
subtle bison
"A working camera swep in MY garry's mod RTX? It's more likely than you think"
currently it only sets cl_drawhud and net_graph
anything more drastic like r_drawvgui 0 breaks it again
so if yall have any other commands to add to this, let me know
why does the flashlight pixelate everything wtf
apparently its the cube mesh lol
livid rapids
it was meant for p2 rtx and i did not test it much lmao
I can see now
livid rapids
hiding layers in toolkit works perfectly but ingame toggling just don't work
subtle bison
ye remix's usd stage handling was already buggy
this just makes it more obvious
the only thing i got working perfectly is hot reloads
subtle bison
Now I'm wondering what's the load order for mods
its sorted by alphabet
livid rapids
so if mod "B" and mod "A" both have the same texture replaced B overrides A
livid rapids
Oh it's backwards
winter radish
why does the flashlight pixelate everything wtf
AMD issue 
subtle bison
look below 🤓
keen rivet
"A working camera swep in MY garry's mod RTX? It's more likely than you think"
once upon a time the camera swep used to work without issues in rtx remix
like i mean day one type shit
subtle bison
who knows why it broke
the reshade depth buffer also used to work with the early portal rtx remix builds
but its been broken for like 2 years
keen rivet
I have a video from 2023 of it working lol
subtle bison
💔
keen rivet
i think it worked when i first did gmod rtx all the way back in 2022
subtle bison
try using a old remix build on modern gmod lol
keen rivet
keen rivet
is it safe to say i mightve been the first to gmod rtx
subtle bison
lol

winter radish

His recent comment on Remix was that it’s slow
subtle bison
since we works for facepunch, maybe he can give us the source code? or maybe poke rubat to give us better fixed function/remix support 🤓
subtle bison
His recent comment on Remix was that it’s slow
guh
keen rivet
thats why i want those other render modes i mentioned the other day
because those would be fast
subtle bison
Don’t mind the Portal Desolation comment, lol
man i have beein waiting on desolation for so long
keen rivet
good rasterisation is cool
winter radish
He had this suggestion tho about Portal 2 with RTX
Might also apply to any game here
subtle bison
i dont think there is a leak of portal 2 source code
maybe debug headers but im not too smart with that
keen rivet
don't use leaked code
winter radish

i cant figure out how to get passed the anti bot protection
subtle bison
so why doesnt the moddb guy just add api support or something 🙁
keen rivet
probably lots of effort to go through for just 1 project
subtle bison
if we cant do moddb in the launcher, we could always edit the html code for the gmod main menu, just add a moddb option next to workshop lmfao
its got chrome built in
they updated cef on x64 especially
keen rivet
also moddb doesnt provide direct downloads so i need the headless browser to do all that javascript junk
subtle bison
does your launcher use webview2 for the headless browser?
i imagine that saves a lot of space for win11 users
or even 10 if 22h2 includes it
keen rivet
its chrome devtools
subtle bison
dead
keen rivet
its downloaded and stored on first use and never downloaded again
subtle bison
keen rivet
that way we retain the 20mb exe
keen rivet
theres one place i dont use the headless browser, and thats for fetching downloads, since there's an rss feed we can check
thats the closest to an api we get lmao

we'd be able to trace rays. but more ✨
keen rivet
rust launcher can only live if it gets vgui theme
keen rivet
i've decided its a necessity
subtle bison
bro is taking out the competition 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀
idk maybe its possible for egui do that, but it would have to be from scratch
keen rivet
my beloved
subtle bison
and i am not that invested
subtle bison
ngl the theme does look sick lmao
it fits the game well enough
it definitely has to be the default launcher theme
subtle bison
❔
keen rivet
also it doesnt play nice with any fancy window managing features
like snapping or anything
subtle bison
fine enough, we should probably lock the launcher size anyway lol
i did that on the rust launcher to avoid overfill issues
makes UI dev a lot easier as well
keen rivet
i would agree but i resize it a lot when using mod browser
subtle bison
for my egui mess it does 😭
keen rivet
thats tru i do have a layout engine in mine so probably slight advantage
subtle bison
more like major
egui is like giving you the tools to build a car, but no easy instructions to do so
meanwhile c# is the whole assembly kit
at least for your UI framework
keen rivet
yeah until you want to theme it yourself and have to reimplement all elements lmao
vgui theme was a stupid idea
worth it
subtle bison
very worth it
gives the launcher a unique identity
or rather a charm i guess lol
oh yea
when is this replacing the old one lol
subtle bison
in the meantime we should probably update the fixes package url before github's redirect expires
keen rivet
yea
keen rivet
idk if i'd include an entire chrome browser, there is probably an easier/smaller...
if there is an easier way, we can easily rip out the puppeteer stuff and continue elsehow
apparently we can just use whatever

lightupdater's not lightupdating...
some lights stay, some like the one in the screenshot update only when another light source updates
it stays for a second flickers and disappears
same hashes and everything
subtle bison
it stays for a second flickers and disappears
most of the times its because the light or the updater is in a wall, which source will technically cull
the heuristics in the addon cant account for every scenario
I'm still cracking away at remix api lights, but am running into stability issues when creating 100 or more per frame, hopefully i can get it figured out so source engine lights can go bye bye
livid rapids
yeah no this is most likely on my end
subtle bison
that means the lightupdaters arent working at all lol
ik they work 100% in camp kairo
is rtx_lightupdaters set to 1?
i dont remember the exact cvar
livid rapids
yeah
subtle bison
weird
any other cvars set under rtx_lightupdaters ?
everything should be 0 except the main enable toggle (i think)
subtle bison
dynamic_update is for the stool's like the lamp or light
if you turn off RT, do you see the lightupdater model?
should look like a lamp
unless i hid those in raster
livid rapids
nothing
when a light doesn't work it shows up in lightupdater debug but not in remix debug
subtle bison
lightupdaters just jiggle an invisible model to force source to render it, if the lightupdater aint working, it will never show up in remix unless you're triggering the light to render yourself (shooting)
subtle bison

turbid barn

what the hell is ultra quality and ultra quality+?
does it have any profit of fps?
turbid barn
its just the presets intel provides
is quality preset the same as in dlss (66%)?
if yes, is using UQ+ useful?
ig it's something like 90% render
subtle bison
if yes, is using UQ+ useful?
ig it's something like 90% render
would i say its useful? probably not, the DLSS presets make more sense, but i have to include them for conformance
turbid barn
would i say its useful? probably not, the DLSS presets make more sense, but i ha...
that's what im thinking about
DLSS/XeSS/FSR3 take a bit of performance
and for example, using 720p instead of 1080p will look worse but perform better than DLSS Q on 1080p (720p -> 1080p)
subtle bison
shouldnt take too long to get working
yep that was fast, its a lil buggy as the radius's arent exactly matched to source but we got lights 👀
turbid barn
so like this "Ultra Quality Plus Premium Edition" will render at ~80-90% but will have no fps profit

yep that was fast, its a lil buggy as the radius's arent exactly matched to sour...

no, i meant i tagged it with the new remix texture category i added
the gun for some reason has a alpha layer with a specific decal
livid rapids
Yeah I know but I can see that's not supposed to BE an emissive map...

who cares, if a texture has alpha, tag it 😈

how far we've come
willow fog
Smashes @subtle bison's face into a wall before taking his hair in hand and yanking him to the floor. Gets on top of him and starts choking him out.
subtle bison
i forgot to ask, whats the performance gains in this custom version looking like...
it really depends on the map, its much better than the render bounds jankery from months before.
if i had to give an average on maps that are in the teens or single digit on the normal version, 50-60% uplift, even with the render distance set to infinite
keen rivet
nice
subtle bison
for some reason, at least on AMD, the static prop renderer really bogs down remix, but the engine FPS is still like 500+ on every map i tried
i think its because it doesnt render lods
so remix's BLAS just gets hammered
for all i know nvidia cards dont have this issue
subtle bison
this foliage is killing remix so hard
this is a good example
95 fps in source, 10 in remix lmfao
subtle bison
i think its the engine patches, my fork doesnt have those issues at all anymore since i removed them
that means we probably need to update the signatures as each update is probably making them less accurate
subtle bison
is the fixes package updated?
keen rivet
yeah
subtle bison
thats the only other thing I can think of since we use renderhook stuff there
keen rivet
but it wouldnt be loaded on the menu
subtle bison
weird, my bet is on the engine patches then
just the culling ones, the shader constants stuff works fine
keen rivet
im gonna swap to the official dxvk remix
subtle bison
guh, it shouldnt be the runtime
keen rivet
lets see if anything changes
livid rapids
keen rivet
thats the only thing that has changed and would be running in menu since last time i tried this without having crashes
subtle bison
i highly doubt its the runtime since no one else has reported that, but if it ends up being that, send me a dump
it could be a nvidia driver bug for all i know
subtle bison
*Smashes <@326199486550376451>'s face into a wall before taking his hair in hand...
man you are really into this RP
keen rivet
subtle bison
wow very specific
lmao
also when your game crashes, does it make gmod crashdumps?
keen rivet
yeah
subtle bison
that would tell you it is gmod itself lol
keen rivet
that would tell you it is gmod itself lol
not necessarily
willow fog
man you are *really* into this RP
Punches face. "Where is the runtime build, fucker?"
subtle bison
not necessarily
remix crashes in my experience do not generate gmod crashdumps because the process usually immediately exits
livid rapids
subtle bison
ketchup blood
livid rapids
my bad I guess
subtle bison
lmao
livid rapids
well that's it for today, did the daemon and those rigs plus more
4.5 pistols left
keen rivet
doesnt even run with older dvxk remix lmao
livid rapids
keen rivet
still makes crash dumps
subtle bison
interesting
keen rivet
just immediately crashes instead of after 4 seconds
subtle bison
can you send me a crashdump with one that crashes in the menu with my runtime?
subtle bison
cl_rtx_misc?
its anything that doesnt fit into a standalone file, small functions like your gui fixes, the rtx spawnmenu, etc
keen rivet
only one of the crash dumps, but it was in the middle of a drawmodel call
so interesting
ok heres one that crashed in the menu on your runtime
subtle bison
hmm most of anything important is stripped, ill send a debug runtime
weak ermine
jam
subtle bison
ok heres one that crashed in the menu on your runtime
ngl it might be easier if you just catch the crash yourself with visual studio
or any other debugger
keen rivet
true
subtle bison
here is the debug binaries if you want em, but the release should also already include a .pdb
keen rivet
why tf does both remix 1.1.0 crash and remix latest staging crash
subtle bison
try something for me
rename mods inside rtx-remix to something else
i think i encountered this before
which i guess i also fixed in my runtime lmao
keen rivet
lmao
subtle bison
that means your other remix libs are really old
keen rivet
its this that crashes
subtle bison
ye one of the replacements is doing something weird
keen rivet
ok now its not crashing on the menu
subtle bison
subtle bison
ye its a remix api function for calling the menu
keen rivet
ye one of the replacements is doing something weird
perhaps if i use the custom dxvk
and remove base mod
maybe thatll help
subtle bison
well i fixed the issue in the custom runtime, but go for it
keen rivet
well im crashing on the main menu in custom runtime
sooooooooo
maybe its not fixed but delayed
subtle bison
yeah ik but im saying its probably something else
subtle bison
maybe its not fixed but delayed
everyone else would be experiencing the issue as well if that was the case
keen rivet
its only after waiting a while it does crash, so it works for a bit
wispy crest
my game crashes when loading into a map, even if its just a box
subtle bison
its only after waiting a while it does crash, so it works for a bit
if it does end up working, i guess try redownloading your base mod?
or i guess we figure out what asset is actually causing it
keen rivet
if it does end up working, i guess try redownloading your base mod?
they should also be fresh off the stove
subtle bison
my game crashes when loading into a map, even if its just a box
is this with the latest x64?
i think my theory earlier is right, our patch signatures just might be really out of date 🙁
and i do not have the RE skills of blueamulet or nullderef to fix them
wispy crest
is this with the latest x64?
i believe so yeah
i just thought it was remix being dumb
subtle bison
Ill make a fresh copy of x64 and see if i get them as well
keen rivet
ok lets see if i crash on the menu now
yes i still do crash in the menu, even with base mod gone
subtle bison
time to attach vs :3
@keen rivet also try this, should fix that shaderapi issue and its based on a newer commit of upstream
wispy crest
yeah sometimes i crash on main menu if I click on shit too fast
keen rivet
ok its related to having half life 2 rtx demo mounted it seems
subtle bison
looking into it
subtle bison
like it freezes on the loading screen
at least without workshop addons, it actually seems more stable than it was last week
@keen rivet uhh i think the rtxio bug is fixed 👀
wispy crest
at least without workshop addons, it actually seems more stable than it was last...
i do not have 700 workshop addons
subtle bison
ah i meant like going ingame with the workshop disabled
keen rivet
<@294345174358818816> uhh i think the rtxio bug is fixed 👀
oh nice, are you crashing though, lol
subtle bison
last week the game would crash like crazy even with the same testing scenario
subtle bison
oh nice, are you crashing though, lol
nope
subtle bison
<@294345174358818816> uhh i think the rtxio bug is fixed 👀
nvm i have the extracted files in addition to the rtxio files cuz steam redownloaded them 💀
keen rivet
my files aren't extracted
subtle bison
i really need to fix the bug in remix because i do not want to fix the extraction method
subtle bison
my files aren't extracted
ye im going to delete mine and load them purely
keen rivet
and it was working when i got ingame
subtle bison
with the base mod?
keen rivet
yea water and mirror was working
subtle bison
nah its still broken
keen rivet
wtf
subtle bison
i just tried it
keen rivet
wait
subtle bison
nothing hl2rtx related loads after deleting the extracted files
subtle bison
hmm even with the base mod gone, it wont even load the rtxio stuff
anyway time to update the custom runtime to upstream so burrito can stop fantasizing about choking me 😊
keen rivet
hmm even with the base mod gone, it wont even load the rtxio stuff
is rtx io off in your config
subtle bison
naw
keen rivet
dont think so
subtle bison
we use the hl2rtx dxvk.conf so its already present
keen rivet
oh
subtle bison
my hl2rtx itself could be fucked, but the rtxio bug needs to be fixed anyhow
subtle bison
ok steam happy DID NOT need feet
keen rivet
look how happy he is
keen rivet
you think he can balance with those legs?

subtle bison
particle system is very cool
willow fog
Indubitably
keen rivet
maybe it was a fluke
subtle bison
it takes like a minute or two
keen rivet
are you sure its not shader compilation
no the game closes lol
subtle bison
is it gmod or remix this time
subtle bison
ye but if the stacktrace doesnt have d3d9 in it, its gmod lol
keen rivet
not necessarily
subtle bison
guh
keen rivet
well consider the fact it worked with the other two runtimes, lol
wispy crest
roblox particles
subtle bison
well consider the fact it worked with the other two runtimes, lol
and its reproducable multiple times?
keen rivet
yep
subtle bison
guh im on the latest x64 and im not running into that wtf
subtle bison
so heads up, the newer remix build includes new API headers that will make 0.8.1 crash, i have pushed a hotfix under the same release, so just reinstall 0.8.1 if you end up upgrading remix. it wont affect new installs
also back up your rtx.conf

yeah i messed the compile up and made it self extracting

keen rivet
didn't someone make replacements for those mmod workshop weapons ages ago? what ever happened to those
i cant find them
keen rivet
oh damn why not
subtle bison
because of this current project 🤭
keen rivet
oh lol
subtle bison
i should probably release those as-is
no idea when ill touch em again
looks like i did finish them actually wtf
keen rivet
lmao
huh
i guess the game isnt too happy with the mmod gravity gun
i swear i had this this mmod mod ages ago
keen rivet
i just had too pull it out and put it away a few times for some reason
now the physgun is doing it
lmao
keen rivet
maybe....?
subtle bison
does it look broken with RT off?
keen rivet
why do lights have that like halo around them for you
subtle bison
halo?
subtle bison
its an HDRI, so thats just how it looks, no other lights present
keen rivet
oh
subtle bison
i think its a denoiser thing
i dont remember it happening with RR
but maybe im mistaken
subtle bison
ima try pushing these hl2 mmod weapons out while im thinking about it
keen rivet
IM BACK TO THIS FFS
keen rivet
not even it just cycles through them all every startup for no reason
subtle bison
ima try pushing these hl2 mmod weapons out while im thinking about it
nvm there are some obvious issues with some of the weapons. if my ADHD doesnt kick in, i will fix them and push them tomorrow ☺️

i've unified all 3 core rendering addons, so i guess the next part is moving this to C++ purely

One small step for CR, one great leap for Gmod RTX chat.
subtle bison
just keep in mind the mesh hashes will be completely different from normal gmod rtx

nvm

we could do a rainbow table thing to make one remix mod work on both, but me or xenthio would have to investigate

A what table
