[weak ermine]

ah no

bruh

downgrade

[subtle bison]

i usually use that but my pc is unreachable and WoL wont turn it on

lmao wtf

[weak ermine]

sick

everything works fine for me

i think sk is

[willow fog]

Fuck

Okay it's imperfect

The api light is kinda poopoo

BUT

[weak ermine]

cr did u hear this shit

[willow fog]

I have gone insane

send help

[weak ermine]

tf is this shit

[willow fog]

Erm. It's called a vocaloid concert

[weak ermine]

more like brain damage

[willow fog]

Cry about it lil bro

[weak ermine]

0/10 ragebait

ski iss

[subtle bison]

is it poopoo only because of the brightness limit or something else lol

[willow fog]

Brightness limit. I want a pretty sharp shadow and the light to be a bit further away. I also want it to be a smaller cone size that tracks the player but that's more complicated

[weak ermine]

cr: you want a lot "nukes api lights"

[subtle bison]

fuck you no lights

❤️

gmod rtx emissive only edition

[weak ermine]

damn

sick

[dusk wagon]

got gm_pt to work

[willow fog]

okay back 2 gmod miku concert

[compact blaze]

Why isn’t the video player oled?

[subtle bison]

you have to set the color alpha or hide the plastic panel behind the video wall

[compact blaze]

No way to automatically do that?

[subtle bison]

maybe by modifying the addon but other than that no

[willow fog]

chat

im cooking

[quiet scroll]

WAIT HOW

[willow fog]

bullshit

good

the video is fucked

I can't attach or weld anything to this

guhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[compact blaze]

It’s weird cause in the reflection it looks like it had proper full blacks

[willow fog]

come onnnnnnnn

[dusk wagon]

i opened map, followed where the main menu buttons are, then im in-game

[subtle bison]

NPCs are very cursed and dont interact well with vphysics objects

[willow fog]

Fuck

What other options do I have left

[subtle bison]

see if there is an addon that fixes it

[compact blaze]

What about vjolt?

[subtle bison]

probably the same, NPCs other than the scanner, rollermine, etc dont use physics objects

[livid rapids]

Wiremod/E2 API lights compatibility...

[livid rapids]

PAC3

[jade surge]

for animated textures is there still no better way to assign them? there is stuff I wanna mess with but I just cant be bothered to do it frame by frame

[night bramble]

how do I verify/change the branch? I'm not 100% the drop down I changed and updated changed it.

[subtle bison]

I would make a separate install folder for the normal gmod rtx

you cant switch between them on the same install otherwise stuff breaks

[twilit vine]

Wait, how? Who? Which wrapper dll, on what game? I have this problem with flat vertex normals on LOTR:ROTK, and it would improve the process greatly if I could have those sweet smooth normals

[subtle bison]

this i think
#1055103037271703602 message

[half viper]

Fuck it

I ordered a 5070

On 4 installments

I know i wouldn't be able to afford that shit 💔

Lets hope i don't get publicly executed for missing the payment deadline

[willow fog]

Elaborate

[livid rapids]

You can parent entities to any bone

Shit you could do it in E2

[willow fog]

You gotta point me to links because I don't know what the E in E2 means or PAC

[wind yoke]

Expression.

It's a programming interface within wiremod. PAC is an addon and the abbreviation spelled out is player appearance customizer

[willow fog]

Hmmm

[twilit vine]

Holy shit it works

[winter radish]

Didn’t you have a 4090 😭

[half viper]

Sold it

Long ago

[weak ermine]

💔

biggggggest downgrade

[livid rapids]

but the 5070 ti is 4090 power... Or something

[weak ermine]

with dlss ultra performance maybe

[onyx ridge]

[polar anchor]

dang another thing to break rtx remix xD

[subtle bison]

i think these already work fine in remix

[polar anchor]

i havent updated my exe in a long time

so i wont know

the last time i updated it is when the perf fork came out lol, so either august or september exe

[compact blaze]

do you feel something stir in your chest whenever a new major gmod update releases

like spider sense

[subtle bison]

no because x64 is bleeding edge

everything announced has already been out

if they break engine patches then i definitely feel that stir tho lol

[compact blaze]

im so glad gmod added graphical features from newer source games

especially those water effects that fix stuff in l4d2 or portal 2

[subtle bison]

(except CSM from CSGO 💔 )

[compact blaze]

hope they add that as a dev feature rather than a global one cause i know how it could potentially mess up the look of all maps

[subtle bison]

prob

[polar anchor]

should i replace old gmod exe with new one?

[subtle bison]

what is this in reply to?

[polar anchor]

nothing

just asking a question

if I should use the newest gmod

or keep the old exe

[subtle bison]

its up to you, most of the changes from todays gmod update are already in x64

[polar anchor]

if it doesnt break anything is what im concerned with lol

[subtle bison]

dont think so

if you want to test, make a new install in a different folder

[polar anchor]

bro I CANT do third install of gmod xD

thatd be one too many

wait i mean fourth. I forgot it is vanilla, OG Remix, then perf

[livid rapids]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3604443928 um

[willow fog]

[subtle bison]

great use of a 1024x1024 texture

[willow fog]

Okay man

[polar anchor]

Bro Media player is unwatchable lol

Viewing the sun simulator

The display is broken and I cant fix it, had to use the billboard object and even then the corner is broken

[willow fog]

Hold c, on the top left click on media player>fullscreen and then leave fullscreen

It's super fucked rn

[willow fog]

@subtle bison explain this 🅱️ULLSHIT

Literally the perfect light but cr fucked up

PLain bullshit

I don't understand

I got this for a second but then the error disappeared

[subtle bison]

bruh how is this on me 💀

[willow fog]

YOU made the api light

Literally everything else works

But the light turns into cube

[subtle bison]

i didnt MAKE it intentionally work with non-vphysics NPCs 💀

[willow fog]

Okay okay

So it doesn't work

How fix

[polar anchor]

You invented Gmod bro

[willow fog]

bro pls

[polar anchor]

Has anyone tried GMOD VR with Remix?

[willow fog]

Won't work

[polar anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-rn-gif-19096964

[pulsar flicker]

why dont u do it?

unless no vr?

[subtle bison]

remix does not support VR in any way

[pulsar flicker]

could still try

it just wont work

[weak ermine]

lmao

crash in the end

so realistic

typical gmod♥️

[weak ermine]

puke simulator

[polar anchor]

[compact blaze]

[weak ermine]

[willow fog]

amazing

[night bramble]

I want to get a 50 series just for the funny OC numbers

But id have to get a 5080 or 5090 so its like OOF.

[night bramble]

What's the max clock at the +400

[half viper]

uhh

3352

i think it was at 450

but too unstable

[half viper]

tbh idk if i should mess with core voltages

seems scary

[night bramble]

You can max it all out it only goes within spec on gpus. Nothing like a cpu. I was asking what does the clock go up to at that setting

[half viper]

around 3250~

[night bramble]

Guh.
Im gonna do it

[half viper]

hell yea

[night bramble]

I found a 5090 for $2500 and ill sell my 4080.

I wonder what else the API light does

[subtle bison]

work with bonemerge? 🤓

guh

[willow fog]

[subtle bison]

color tool is peak with replacements

[subtle bison]

@willow fog

i couldnt get existing bonemerge tools working so ill have to make my own, but here is a small demo of it working

[willow fog]

Mm

Incredible

[subtle bison]

despite being in the incompatible list for the longest time, gm_northbury seems to work fine on the perf branch?

idk maybe a game update fixed it, but it used to be rasterized

same goes for gm_bigcity_improved

both of these use shader skyboxes i think

HOLY SHIT THIS ADDON FINALLY WORKS

thats about every addon on the incompatible list working

https://github.com/Xenthio/garrys-mod-rtx-remixed/wiki/Incompatible-Addons

“Just be the most popular thread” brutal 🥀

[subtle bison]

i've stripped a lot of unessessary code from the rendering addons to reduce lua overhead, and while it slightly improves performance, it seems like being CPU bound is the major issue and will wreck your frametimes

so my advice is crank up your res scale if your game starts feeling jittery

this only happens on maps with like 1K static props rendered at once btw

so maps that barely use PVS will have this issue

i think this can be rectified if i just cluster a bunch of props into 1 pass

i think csgo does this as well?

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Static_Prop_Combine

[weak ermine]

csgo had props?

[subtle bison]

bro is so far gone

[weak ermine]

neurones limitations

[subtle bison]

who likes half of a truck

if i can get static prop combining working, perf is gonna skyrocket again

this will absolutely break mesh replacements btw

[dusk wagon]

i do

https://tenor.com/view/half-a-car-gif-19852699

[subtle bison]

IT WORKS

shit i might be able to get rid of PVS culling if it works well in other maps

🥀

[dusk wagon]

btw is this supposed to be a new update in the works

[subtle bison]

yes

[dusk wagon]

or is this the same

alr

[subtle bison]

im fixing bugs and trying to squeeze out more perf

[dusk wagon]

[subtle bison]

not bad for almost 2K static props rendered at once

30fps for about 4K static props aint bad either lol

[dusk wagon]

[subtle bison]

this is genuinely fucking insane

from about 2 months ago btw

then 1 year

@keen rivet look how far we've come

fake factory rtx remix

https://gamebanana.com/mods/510981

(used to be called fake factory remastered, now Enhanced maps)

[subtle bison]

22gb size total

rtx remix is gonna hate this

[half viper]

rtx remix has no issues with it
people will

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison can u do this pretty pls

[weak ermine]

i played

20 fps on non perf fork

[half viper]

Huh

[weak ermine]

what huh

[weak ermine]

on some big maps

[weak ermine]

why

22gb for all hl2 maps

so its like

not to much

i played this on non perf fork about half year ago

[half viper]

imagine replacing all the materials and models there

with pbr ones

[weak ermine]

i have troubles only on ravenholm

[half viper]

hl2 rtx is like 40gb and its only ravenholm and nova prospekt

[weak ermine]

and only bcz of fucking gmod moment

ravenholm gonna be perfect use of two api direction or how tf they named lights

bcz it have thunderstorm

the pseudoplayermodel doesnt seem to have IK
is it possible to implement it?

[subtle bison]

ngl i have not touched any code for pseudoplayer at all so ill have to check, but iirc its just rendering the thirdperson playermodel in first person iirc?

so that addon should theoretically work

i guess ill try

[half viper]

it doesnt work when i tried it

only works in camera

[subtle bison]

ah yeah it doesnt

wack

i wonder if that has to do more with the IK addon tho

either way ill figure it out

first person body works

but its very buggy

[zealous narwhal]

Finally figured out how to do mesh material replacements

Only downside is that the game freezes frequently now

[willow fog]

Fuccking peak

Looks amazing

[subtle bison]

you might have to disable sampler feedback

its a known issue for nvidia

[zealous narwhal]

Somehow makes the freezing worse, game freezes instantly upon loading the map

[subtle bison]

guh

im not sure what else to try, maybe upgrade your drivers?

[zealous narwhal]

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/9qzk3a1mavfijujjlm085/2025-11-15-11-33-04.mkv?rlkey=pztcizjnvzupyfrjp3nlso2v0&e=1&st=qknklmvn&dl=0

[zealous narwhal]

Already updated to the latest version

All I've done is turn down the roughness of the exterior and it looks good already

[subtle bison]

changed the $spriterendermode in the physgun glow vmt and i think the hash is finally stable?

i've rebooted my game like 5 times and the remix texture category stays now

[weak ermine]

hope this shit helps with awp lego map🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔💔🥀🥀🥀💔🥀🙏🙏💔

[subtle bison]

yeah im gonna fix the gravity gun particle bug and then take a look at that

hopefully vmt edits are all that's needed

[weak ermine]

phew

i was thinking im need just rewrite gmod from the scratch

[subtle bison]

gravity gun is fixed

i fixed the particle bug when switching weapons by just chaging the basetexture to rtx/ignore

something about rendering those electron beams in fixed function is broken so yea

[weak ermine]

no more electro charged guns

[subtle bison]

just the gravity gun

[dusk wagon]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3380298728 has anyone tryed this

[willow fog]

Why

[dusk wagon]

fps booster plus maybe shadow improvement?

[willow fog]

Neither is it an fps booster, nor it's going to do anything at all

[dusk wagon]

the fps booster shows the 3d skybox (kinda)

but removes the map

[willow fog]

Perf branch?

[dusk wagon]

mhm

[willow fog]

Not surprising

[weak ermine]

the fuck

rtt shadows disabled it gmod rtx

for what u need this shit

[zealous narwhal]

This addon just enables render-to-texture shadows. It will do nothing in Garry's Mod RTX because there are no RTT shadows with RTX.

[weak ermine]

no way u just

say same what i said

[subtle bison]

one of the coolest bugs i have encountered

[willow fog]

Huh

[winter radish]

Very Alyx vibes

[ashen notch]

https://tenor.com/view/gman-half-life-alyx-creepy-gif-16000932

[subtle bison]

this was a pain to figure out, but i fixed the seams in the custom displacement renderer

[half viper]

what did you do to fix it?

[willow fog]

He did it very...

Uhm

[weak ermine]

say it

I don't get it

can u please say it

[willow fog]

He did it taking great care

[livid rapids]

He uh

Just did

[subtle bison]

carefuly

[subtle bison]

for vertex colors to apply, you have to normalize the displacment factor (3 for gm_construct_rtx) by the max alpha (255), problem was was we weren't compressing that fit into the 0-255 range, so if a displacement was out of range (like a value of 3.125) and divide it by 255, it wouldnt blend correctly

[weak ermine]

something on nerd language

[subtle bison]

so now it automatically maps it to a 0-1 range for it to be properly divided from

[subtle bison]

since setting mat_dxlevel 95 in the main menu fixes a lot of broken addons, this will most likely be automatic in the next update

we'd set it in the launcher as a launch argument but it doesnt seem to work that way

usual source fuckery

[weak ermine]

sause spaghetti

[subtle bison]

anyone else got me beat with the most amount of lights in a map?

@subtle bison i went to your profile on steam and

what the actual fuck is this

btw

how do you make the sky darker

[subtle bison]

Lmao some dupe a player spawned on a sandbox server

[subtle bison]

Sky tuning in the remix menu

[weak ermine]

is this hl3 final

[dusk wagon]

i already did that

[dusk wagon]

maybe

[dusk wagon]

still doesnt work

[weak ermine]

use some hdris or find in workshop gc's skyboxes

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3235327509

use stormy and cloudy skyboxes, in remix tune down brightness

here your dark skybox

[subtle bison]

Guh how does that not work

[weak ermine]

i think he is about make it fully dark

[steel lark]

@subtle bison does the hdri addon not work on perf?

[willow fog]

It does

[subtle bison]

newest perf no

i fixed it but i havent pushed out a new release for the hdri addon and also perf fork

it required changes on both ends

[willow fog]

And the lights, obviously

[subtle bison]

could extend the sky brightness range in the runtime

i also need to see if its possible to adjust the sky brightness automatically per-map
hopefully there is something i can pull from the BSP data

because remix api meshes expect a .dds like a remix replacement and i am NOT re-exporting every single source engine material

nuh uh

@subtle bison you have GYAT to get gwater working

The is amazing

[subtle bison]

to get gwater2 to work we'd need to make a fork so it renders its water inside remix api

iirc it uses some d3d11 interop with normal gmod and it just does not work

[winter radish]

Just contact the dev
Ez

[weak ermine]

just rewrite gmod from scratch on dx12

[steel lark]

no

rewrite gmod on dx7

[weak ermine]

uh

source support dx6

so its like

already done

0/10 joke

try again later

[keen rivet]

yeah sup, i helped worked on gwater2

[winter radish]

someone did that already

well DXR but still DirectX 12

[winter radish]

[weak ermine]

sbox?

[keen rivet]

sbox is vulkan and used to be dx11

[weak ermine]

[winter radish]

https://github.com/Derpius/gmod-dxr

no, quite literally Gmod on DXR

[winter radish]

so you can fix Remix support, right?

[keen rivet]

no i tried it when gwater2 was still indev

maybe its possible

idk if i could do it though

[steel lark]

what is the ratio of total bullets and remaining bullets that i would have if i shot a revolver?

remaining/total

[subtle bison]

🤝

[onyx ridge]

is this any related to the possibility of addons being able to include material replacements

[subtle bison]

maybe? it just means the game can now control textures in remix directly

[onyx ridge]

(both just because it'd be cool for addons to have pbr materials for their own things + the ability to manage replacements using the workshop would be fantastic)

[subtle bison]

replacements will behave the same

[winter radish]

has the Tardis rewrite addon been fixed yet

https://tenor.com/view/yamamoto-yamamoto-shigekuni-genryusai-yamamoto-shigekuni-bankai-zanka-no-tachi-gif-27096936

[subtle bison]

one day we will have gmod rtx but shader backend instead

would fix all of this

that day will soon come once I figure out all of this remix api mesh stuff, so only skinned objects from the game are rendered and nothing else 😋

[subtle bison]

yall wanna see some mindblowing shit?

this is fucking HUGE

works even in worst-case-scenario maps like the cs2 dust 2 backport

it only applies to world geometry so this shit is rock solid

[willow fog]

I'm on my phone in a remote location with poo service. Explain what you did and what the results are.

[subtle bison]

the game can automatically tag all world textures as decal

so no more weird blending issues when loading a new map that hasnt been tagged

[willow fog]

Ooooh

That is indeed quite huge

That's what I've been saying. It can also handle psuedoplayer

[subtle bison]

oh yeah it can

i need to rig that up

[willow fog]

Which only applies to the model you have selected currently

So that npcs are Ragdolls look okay

[subtle bison]

yeah it will work because it creates a proxy mat for pseudoplayer

so it shouldnt take me less than a hour to get working

[willow fog]

And also any model from the workshop

[subtle bison]

yes

it will "just work"

fuck man im so excited, this is legit a breakthrough

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171

gotta reload the map because there is a bug with pseudoplayer itself not creating its materials correctly

[half viper]

Does it also work for pseudo weapons?

[subtle bison]

ill have to impliment it for that as well, ill mess with it in a sec, fixing pseudoplayer

[lament dust]

well, some csgo maps are working better than before

[weak ermine]

damn

really?

[subtle bison]

holy fuck its perfect

in less than an hour too

[weak ermine]

finally

[lament dust]

yea

[weak ermine]

no more pixel hunting for tag some micro nano piece of model

[subtle bison]

or on a map either

shit we can probably even do legacy emissives with info from VMT files

[weak ermine]

🤑

imagine world where's emissives don't have ghosting

[subtle bison]

ok pseudoplayer is perfect now

no more map reload to enable it

[subtle bison]

we can finally leave it on by default

and hopefully weapon too

[lament dust]

testing some random maps

[lament dust]

LETS GOO

[willow fog]

Legacy emissive now

[weak ermine]

bro think he's boss

[subtle bison]

ima do pseudoweapon since the biggest hurdle is now gone

no more manually tagging each weapon

[lament dust]

God, how do i fix it?

[subtle bison]

i assume this is normal gmod rtx, so enable map fixes in the remix settings in the spawn menu

it will kill your fps tho

[lament dust]

algith

YOO

it didnt killed my fps

That map.. its

10 fps

[subtle bison]

use the perf fork if you want it to run better

though that is one of the heaviest maps in gmod general

[lament dust]

yeah

[subtle bison]

if you save your remix settings this only happens once

[lament dust]

https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/16962741719904053086/52E9B5FA588DA1C90558512DD853EAA5E4ABF513/

For me, its fixed

Map link?

[subtle bison]

mount csgo legacy branch

[compact blaze]

Wait how does this cs2 dust 2 backport work?

Or wait is this straight up just csgo dust 2

[subtle bison]

csgo got a backport of the dust2 made in source 2 a year before cs2 came out iirc

i probably shouldn't have said cs2 but more like "super high fidelity dust2" before cs2

[compact blaze]

Wait what?

How have I never known of this

[compact blaze]

So was this like a secret version of dust 2 hidden in the files or did they just silently replace dust 2 with this new version

[subtle bison]

ok im so far off

its from 2017

[compact blaze]

Dude 💔

[subtle bison]

i remembered a vnn video discussing the technical details but its far away from cs2

sorry

I wonder if there are back ports of cs2 maps to smth like gmod

[woeful phoenix]

We have all the environment textures completed, not all models yet, would be cool to see the stuff mounted but at the same time I don't know a lot of maps that use the DM textures 😄

Ooh. I haven't kept up with the project. I'd love to see it.

We are debating a "lite" release with just the environment assets. Credits to @cerulean moat for shitting out 80% of them and testing out my workflow scripts. Left 4 Dead 2 used similar

[willow fog]

Man I love mfs who lock in and shit out a bunch of work

[keen rivet]

what was wrong with how i did flashlight?

i cant reemmembr

was it that there was still projected texture in the back or something?

i think i just set r_flashlight to 0 to compensate lol

[subtle bison]

alpha blending breaks when the source engine flashlight is on

it also would stop rendering in parts of the map

[keen rivet]

ah

did r_flashlight 0 not work?

i think i disabled all projected textures for a reason like that

[subtle bison]

iirc it was already at 0, so i dont think so

the remix api flashlight does give back a lot of customization so i'd also rather keep it. But ill definitely get rid of the bind overrides

[dusk wagon]

guys i set the sky brightness to 1e+21 is this normal?

@subtle bison were any new fixes/updates released for the perf patch yet?

i remember when u released ur new update and i installed it mentioning a few issues

[willow fog]

Nothing ever updates

[subtle bison]

not yet, do you have a link for the issues?

[subtle bison]

ok i think i found all of them

• api light slow update rate - fixed
• displacment blending not working in some places - fixed
• no indirect bounces from API lights - remix bug, most likely RR, i wasnt able to replicate this on my end
• api light noise - shouldnt be an issue as the compat mod forces the correct RTXDI settings, but it can still show on maps with 600+ lights due to remix having to sample all of them

[compact blaze]

see here

and here

[subtle bison]

yes i addressed those

You don't happen to be a BMW driver, do you?

[subtle bison]

nah not just BMW drivers

the default brightness for LEDs in cars is just too bright

fuck then the high beams are even worse

[willow fog]

Also. Here's my opinion on adjustable values on a development/power user software. The value shouldn't be clamped if it doesn't need to be. I should be allowed to increase it up to the largest 64 but integer.

[subtle bison]

yeah i removed all clamping

my to-do list 🤓

[willow fog]

Try brightness 9,223,372,036,854,775,807

Put the heart back 💔

[subtle bison]

hell naw

[willow fog]

🙂

[subtle bison]

this was a major pain in the ass but I modifed the runtime and the remix api to support a flag for lights to ignore viewmodels

right now its only the flashlight as it was causing weird artifacts when moving

its completely gone now yipee

i had to modify RTXDI to support this, so that makes me wonder, does RR use its own thing?

because if so, this wont work for nvidia users until i can procure a nvidia gpu lmfao

[willow fog]

Should've thought about it when procuring a gpu in the first place.

[subtle bison]

so is RTXDI enabled for yall

[willow fog]

No. I prefer nrc.

[subtle bison]

ur thinking of restir gi

rtxdi is its own thing

[willow fog]

Oh that

Yeah I use it

Less noise.

[subtle bison]

yay then im good

🌞

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet le bind override is gone

im tracking the original flashlight state instead, i guess the alpha issue is gone, and engine lights are disabled so this works perfectly so far lol

i think now is the time to start porting a lot of the perf fork stuff to main gmod rtx and see how that goes

which is just api lights so far

hopefully removing lightupdater gives us a sizeable perf improvement

normal gmod rtx and api lights together at last yippee

everything is working out of the box, lightupdater is completely gone and all game lights ignored

[willow fog]

Chat, what is CR cooking?

[subtle bison]

benefits of API lights without the perf fork

hopefully makes normal gmod rtx playable on large maps

time to test voidplaces

[polar anchor]

Our iris(es) with his bright light

[willow fog]

Real

[subtle bison]

yeah no them static props absolutely destroy fps

static props off

perf fork still the victor by a major landslide

well at least the hl2rtx stuff works

im surprised the light replacements still work

@keen rivet can i nuke lightupdater now

also i guess rubat fixed all of the stability issues cuz normal gmod rtx is no longer a crashfest

[subtle bison]

hell yeah this was the right thing to do

just W's today 🔥

[polar anchor]

Thx bossman

Will it possible to fix the models in infmaps or is that just a limitation of Source/INFMAP?

[subtle bison]

its a issue with remix, i haven't looked into it yet

[keen rivet]

how is light value translation?

[keen rivet]

depends on if it looks different lol, i would say keep it but make it non default if it looks different

[keen rivet]

huge

[keen rivet]

you could probably merge the perf and main repo together, letting people toggle in realtime to use engine or custom rendering.

it would make seeing things that dont work correctly or look different between the two easier to find

one day ill finish hw skinning

[dense crow]

Oh anyway how's the GT7 Tonemapper coming along?

[weak ermine]

never

[subtle bison]

it doesn't match normal remix converted lights exactly. The API lights try to match the radius of the original source engine light instead

remix converted lights can only have one universal radius size so they could never be 1:1 with the original game

[subtle bison]

i was originally going to do that but not having mesh replacements work kinda makes that a no-deal

until i figure out why lua-submittsd imesh models have different hashes
