[willow fog]

Doesn't source define a constant roughness value for every texture?

[keen rivet]

Roughness infinity

Everything has no speculars

[winter radish]

Funny thing is, they have a commit that says they wanted the spacing to be like the tool app

Why did they fuck up the beautiful UI

[willow fog]

What

[willow fog]

And what

[keen rivet]

Source has no speculars by default, so no roughness

[willow fog]

So how do they do reflective objects?

[keen rivet]

Envmaps are perfectly smooth, and are done with an envmap mask

[willow fog]

I swear source did have light reflections

Yeah the tiles

[keen rivet]

Phong exists, too. But it's done with an exponent

Either as a map or single scalar

[subtle bison]

gah damn the hunter be looking fine

[subtle bison]

yes its ass

[willow fog]

Do they not define how blurred a reflection should be in the shader?

[keen rivet]

No

All reflections are drawn as is

[willow fog]

Ah

[keen rivet]

A low quality cubemap might appear blurred

But that's it

[willow fog]

[winter radish]

We know Valve faked lighting in some games, like Portal 2

[subtle bison]

yeah they're all real map lights

[willow fog]

why do this water look so good, wtf?

[winter radish]

jump in

[subtle bison]

legacy emissive?

[willow fog]

idk

[subtle bison]

lmao just after loading 2 workshop maps

@keen rivet do we generate mipmaps, im running out of vram fast lol

[winter radish]

just get more VRAM- oh wait

https://tenor.com/view/ram-shortage-spare-change-gif-9115435805909633449

[keen rivet]

Yeah we do pretty sure

do we not need to?

[subtle bison]

no we do

btw we should generate albedos so we can set the engine texture quality to the lowest so we can save on vram lol

[keen rivet]

i dunno if that would save any vram

probably use more

and more disk space

[subtle bison]

ah yeah, gmod is only loading the albedos anyway

[lapis delta]

mmm

mountain dew

[keen rivet]

what map is this?

[subtle bison]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3650332470

it has some really nice assets

[keen rivet]

lots of materials on the workshop use this workflow, i'm gonna see if I can reverse it to get the original input PBR materials\

[subtle bison]

lmao what

why does copilot react

[weak ermine]

fucking disgusting

[keen rivet]

to show you its seen the message

also im doing significant refactoring because the file was a mess

[subtle bison]

not much different atm
they do have normals and roughness but its just very strong

seems to really depend on the weapon (shotgun at the end of the vid looks great)

[weak ermine]

i think we really need that slider

[keen rivet]

oh man wow the ghosting.....................

amd users live like this?

[subtle bison]

fsr is way worse but yeah i'd take dlss over xess

[weak ermine]

im kinda like that goofy ah hypersoft shadow from skeleton

[subtle bison]

though i dont really notice it since im playing it in a 1440p window on a 4K display so its harder to see unless im playing the vid in like fullscreen

also it doesnt help there isnt any stable motion vectors for viewmodels since the hashes are unstable 🤓 ☝️

[lean hatch]

[polar anchor]

are you using an auto pbr tool?

[subtle bison]

the one we're working on yes

[polar anchor]

will it be in the runtime as a command or seperate?

[subtle bison]

hopefully by the time its out, it will be automatic, with a spawnmenu page for adjusting the variables of each converted material

its both a runtime and gmod rtx change

[polar anchor]

will it work with both builds? Since perf seems to be a little picky with some replacements right?

[subtle bison]

yes, these are just material replacments

[lean hatch]

Why is the floor salty

[quiet scroll]

seasoning

[winter radish]

That’s what happens when AMD doesn’t care about Vulkan

[keen rivet]

oops, metal

materials that use a certain technique for metals are now translated into metalness textures.

[willow fog]

WHAT THE FUCK

[keen rivet]

lmao

[willow fog]

Clauding it rn

[keen rivet]

bro is that an ai dating visual novel

what's the clothing system for huh?

[willow fog]

Consistency

[keen rivet]

[keen rivet]

this physgun remaster on the workshop gets converted over too (some issues right now.)

Hell yeah

[weak ermine]

lmao

144p wall texture

and 8k can

[keen rivet]

seems like modern warfare base has its own form of this i can detect

[willow fog]

Holy moly do it.

I hope it also supports roughness maps.

[keen rivet]

yeah it will

[turbid barn]

0.10.0 oiled up update

[keen rivet]

metalic is encoded in the main texture's alpha channel

and then roughness is in the phong exponent texture

[weak ermine]

can u check https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3643930410&searchtext=prop+material

[keen rivet]

seems like it does some things a little strangely but here it is never the less

[willow fog]

Check the deagle

Also these textures are compressed to shit. Mine are much cleaner.

[keen rivet]

deagle has no embedded metallic map in the texture

is it meant to be painted black?

wait no it does, its just at the edges only

[keen rivet]

unforunately they're using metallic on black so it'll look odd

this has proper embedded metal on it

[stark ether]

Damn thought that was a photo at first glance

[keen rivet]

oh here we go

[willow fog]

Holy shit

Guess my mod is useless now.

[keen rivet]

its not

[willow fog]

Check if arc9 does the same

[keen rivet]

thats what i tried before

they had the incorrectly encoded metals though

[keen rivet]

these were mwb

[willow fog]

Incorrectly. More like differently

[keen rivet]

they have correct metals

[keen rivet]

no like they use metal on black

which is all sorts of wrong

[willow fog]

as I said different but not necessarily incorrect.

[willow fog]

As long as it looks right in vanilla

[keen rivet]

see thats correct

[willow fog]

yeah textures do be badly compressed

[keen rivet]

@subtle bison

[keen rivet]

not terrible

[weak ermine]

nah

release it

[willow fog]

I have to FINISH it

[weak ermine]

and we will judge

[willow fog]

GUH

[weak ermine]

well, finish it

ez

[willow fog]

I need to redownload the game

[weak ermine]

how does combine c_hands look

[keen rivet]

anyone know of any other addons that have pseudo pbr?

[keen rivet]

lemme see

lmao the way rtx turns off when you press c makes it look like you jump back 20 years

[keen rivet]

pretty good actually

[weak ermine]

god damn

im wanna

||lick those hands||

[keen rivet]

these are the supported pbr formats

[willow fog]

Yeah it's been a thing forever

No idea why

[keen rivet]

mwb uses basically the same as blueflytrap's ancient but really good pbr techniques

[weak ermine]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3312364843&searchtext=rtb+

can u check this addon

[compact blaze]

is this reshade with remix?

[keen rivet]

sure

i search for pbr models and these are the results

[compact blaze]

at what state do you think this autopbr tool needs to be in for release?

[keen rivet]

Need CR to finish his stuff

[compact blaze]

you have no idea how amazing smth like this would be for the stanley parable

[keen rivet]

which makes it automatic and not freeze the game

[compact blaze]

ofc, what about the potential worries of large file sizes?

[keen rivet]

the texture cache will build up over time

[weak ermine]

yeh i did same yesterday and got flashbanged

[willow fog]

No. Edited in post using screenshots of the depth debug view and a normal SS

[keen rivet]

mine is already 3 gigabytes 😰

[weak ermine]

666

[compact blaze]

so there's no way to use the remix api and automatically have remix understand the materials and render them on the fly instead of having to turn them into mods?

[keen rivet]

i wish but i couldnt find a way

maybe CR could,

[compact blaze]

copilot couldn't*

[keen rivet]

me and copilot

theres been brains behind this

[compact blaze]

besties

[weak ermine]

check usp

if its not shiny

im gonna cry

[keen rivet]

i've been doing most of the research and just getting it to write the code

[compact blaze]

currently how do u feel about the viability of ai coding bots like this, i don't even think copilot is the best in the market even which is shocking cause seeing this autopbr mod it just works

[keen rivet]

copilot is just like a mix of everything, you can use whatever model in it

[compact blaze]

ah ok

what model are u using?

[keen rivet]

claude 4.5

[compact blaze]

cause i remember copilot was like the first ai coding bot to be mainstream and thats what microsoft stole the name copilot from

[keen rivet]

opus

[compact blaze]

ah ya thats what i was thinking when i thought of best ai coding bot

[weak ermine]

hell yes

[keen rivet]

a bunch of half-life alyx ports from the workshop seem to work with this out of the box

[weak ermine]

still fucking awesome

[willow fog]

This is so peak

I need release NOW

[willow fog]

These aren't

perfectly metallic

Which is very wierd

[keen rivet]

how are they meant to be?

[willow fog]

Well this should be perfectly metallic

[keen rivet]

it seems like it is

[weak ermine]

🙏

[willow fog]

that's NOT

I can't open gmod rn

actually wait

[keen rivet]

it doesnt get much more metallic when i turn up metal bias

[willow fog]

weird

[keen rivet]

maximum everything is metal

[willow fog]

hm. guess it's the base texture

[keen rivet]

here's your early release demo to play with

one is the addon, the other is the binary file

[willow fog]

Holy shit that's violently based

[keen rivet]

garrysmod/addons
and
garrysmod/lua/bin or something

[weak ermine]

😭🙏

[keen rivet]

@keen rivet https://youtu.be/O628qs70nVE look at this sand

this is the sand i was talking about before

[keen rivet]

saw that earlier in my youtube recommendations lol

[weak ermine]

same

[weak ermine]

isn't its just pbr asset

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3076345893

[willow fog]

The game just... got stuck

There's some cpu usage going on but no changes to memory

xenthio please

i need u

[keen rivet]

uhhhhhhhhhh

doesnt work

[keen rivet]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

try disable addons?

where is it getting stuck

[willow fog]

So. It happens when the USDA changes

[keen rivet]

hm loading might take a very long time

[willow fog]

I left it for 15 minutes

[keen rivet]

try restart the game

[willow fog]

Multiple

[keen rivet]

.

[willow fog]

I was able to get it to not crash once

[willow fog]

The hands are custom from my mod

[keen rivet]

oh you fixed it?

[willow fog]

I didn't change anything. It decided not to crash

But look no changes

[keen rivet]

when you pull something out

run rtx_topbr_process

you might need to restart once after the materials.usda is made

yet again, this is why its not released yet

[willow fog]

I'm helping bugtest :)

[weak ermine]

mat_dxlevel 95

[keen rivet]

[weak ermine]

i cant rn

im not home

🥀

[willow fog]

Also idk what happened but there's some really bad culling going on

[weak ermine]

im really need this

[keen rivet]

uhhhh

this code is for non perf branch

[willow fog]

uh oh

[keen rivet]

right now that is

I assume itll get ported to CR's fork

[willow fog]

oops

let me just

...

[keen rivet]

just goto launcher and apply patches

that should be all you need i think

[willow fog]

yeah dw

So arc9 is a no-go, right?

[keen rivet]

they look worse

[willow fog]

guh

The metallic is broken?

[keen rivet]

on what

[willow fog]

arc9

[keen rivet]

oh arc9

yeah

thats what i said

metallic is done wrongly

[willow fog]

DIFFERENTLY

[keen rivet]

wrongly

they painted over the textures to remove the scratched off metal bits but didnt remove it from the alpha channel metal map

[willow fog]

Ohhh....

That's...

[keen rivet]

so yes itll render right ingame

but its wrong

[willow fog]

fuck my life I'm just a worthless buddy

[keen rivet]

I have NO idea why they did that

they use the mwb pbr setup yet they did that for some reason?

[willow fog]

poopoo fps but holy shit

[keen rivet]

18 fps 😭

[willow fog]

non perf things

Gun and hands from custom mod

[keen rivet]

yknow this means you can ship pbr replacements on the workshop now technically

[compact blaze]

the source sound effects just not matching the graphics lmao amazing

[onyx ridge]

but whatabout 8k textures

[compact blaze]

just gonna double your file size tho cough

[keen rivet]

unfortunately

[keen rivet]

idk does gmod support them

[willow fog]

I don't think so

[compact blaze]

ya thats def the biggest drawback of the mod currently

[compact blaze]

are u running gmod with max texture quality?

[willow fog]

probably

[compact blaze]

Other than the stools looking kinda weird this looks flawless

[weak ermine]

holly damn fuck

[compact blaze]

someone should run this on intel’s new SOC

[weak ermine]

but i will wait until material sliders and cool sky with clouds(and weather if cr still wants it)

so just drooling

[compact blaze]

cant wait to see how nrc enhances this

[weak ermine]

0/10 ragebait

[compact blaze]

at least i tried

kek

[weak ermine]

here withered rose

[compact blaze]

This is the nicest i’ve seen you be

[weak ermine]

just good day today

[compact blaze]

are you using nrc or restir?

[willow fog]

nrc

[keen rivet]

Updated some stuff

[willow fog]

Sorry I don't touch softwares that don't come with a changelog

Also I figured out the crashes

[weak ermine]

bruh

[willow fog]

There's a chancce for remix to crash when reloading usda changes automatically

I've seen the same issue in multiple other games

[compact blaze]

is this referencing smth?

[keen rivet]

+ Split MWB PBR Pipeline and BFT PBR Pipeline, allowing for near perfect reconstruction of the input PBR Textures used in MWB's PBR to Source converter, by reversing its algorithm.
- Removed Herobrine.

[willow fog]

fair enough

I need to install mwb now

Normal maps on portal 2 no workl

[keen rivet]

can you run rtx_topbr_inspect while looking at that texture and send the output

[willow fog]

sure

[weak ermine]

who the fuck add herobrine in gmod

there's a p2 rtx discord?

why am i not invited?

If this setup is implemented in the actual remix mod then I'm afraid it's so over

That game has all high res textures

[keen rivet]

Thoughts?

[subtle bison]

peak

also we can probably get rid of dev_monitor water with this

[weak ermine]

why?

like yeah

[subtle bison]

because we can just convert each frame of the water texture and add the required normals

[weak ermine]

FUCK THAT SHIT

[weak ermine]

but it fixes some

pure white water

milk

milk lake

[subtle bison]

we should probably intercept shaders for those

instead of changing the material

lots of new opportunities are opened up with this stuff

[weak ermine]

i hope u fix it

bcz with old water

rr is not that fucked

[subtle bison]

me too

[subtle bison]

peak 2010 white girl music

[weak ermine]

but ahh yeh reflections are absolutely fucked

nvidia when fix😭🙏

[willow fog]

https://youtu.be/LoCa0RshQLI

Best thing I've ever discovered

[keen rivet]

Why

Dual layered animated water will be lost I think then

[subtle bison]

how so?

[weak ermine]

its shit

[keen rivet]

Didn't work before

[weak ermine]

old animated water is peak

and not that fucky with rr

[subtle bison]

idek if dual layer water works now

or if it did before

[keen rivet]

I think dual layer water is supposed to denoise better

[weak ermine]

no

not in that case

[subtle bison]

so why would that be an issue with replaced materials?

its just two brushes iirc?

[keen rivet]

Idk

Just don't remember it working

[subtle bison]

guess wel'll see. I would like to see it working

[keen rivet]

I intercept refract shader for refracted glass we could do the same for water

Water mostly uses the same basetexture

If we want each water to have its own fog, we'd need to like generate new textures for each vmt

[lean hatch]

K now ban xen and cr from gmod and the server

[keen rivet]

Wtf!!!

[lean hatch]

Nobody will ever know

[weak ermine]

what ahh

[subtle bison]

i dont understand

[weak ermine]

same

in remix underwater fog doesn't even exist

[keen rivet]

Like let's say you wanted to have the water fog colours

as absorption colour

[compact blaze]

can u inv me

[keen rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/basketball-meme-gif-5051779013126861108

[weak ermine]

i unsubscribed from u

[keen rivet]

I think fist having realtime replacements working without freezing would be good

I want to ship something first preferably as is, because it's in a decent enough state (as is + async loading that is)

[subtle bison]

ye i have that working but ill probably have to re-do my changes for the binary module

[keen rivet]

Yeah sorry lol

[subtle bison]

lol all good

as for the per-material overrides, it would be easier to add this in remix since it can access the USD stage properly

also its much easier to select stuff there anyway

so ill do it that way instead of a spawnmenu

[keen rivet]

Damn I had the idea of having per material pbrification mode selection for that menu but ok

there's multiple modes

[subtle bison]

oh

hmm

[keen rivet]

For different forms of source 1 pbr and shading

there's 2 fake pbr methods

2 actual pbr methods,

And then normal source shading

[subtle bison]

ill see if i can get it working via the spawnmenu then. I'm just a bit worried about remix constantly reloading the mod.usda but hopefully my async changes mitigate any potential issues

[keen rivet]

We can extract original PBR information from fake source pbr

I'd love to be able to ditch saving to a mod and just have remix work directly

To avoid 1000gb of files

[subtle bison]

we probably could? I added texture upload features to the remix API for my unity compat wrapper

[keen rivet]

that would be cool

[subtle bison]

do we want to do that now or just make a first release with the menu and stuff?

[keen rivet]

First release

release with async and then look at texture uploading after

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-one-eyebrow-raised-rock-staring-the-rock-gif-22113367

[compact blaze]

thx bro

[subtle bison]

we are so back

[winter radish]

will this pbr conversion be on by default from now on?

[subtle bison]

ye

but until we get remix api texture uploads hooked up, this will eat some disk space and vram

@keen rivet i think the poison headcrab got a regression, doesnt seem to be shiny as before unless that was inaccurate

everything else looks a lot better 🤤

[winter radish]

isn't rtxio supposed to help?

[subtle bison]

thats only if you manually pack your mod for that format

.pkg

it requires a seperate tool as well

[winter radish]

[subtle bison]

i fucking love lost coast

textures look insane here

[stark ether]

Finally some accurate reflections on the floor

[subtle bison]

can toBPR get any better than this

[willow fog]

Look at the portal 2 screenshots I posted.

nah but it lets story sequences play out for the most part

[willow fog]

[subtle bison]

def no

[willow fog]

How many years has gmod been out

No one got the portal guns working.

[winter radish]

I've seen an addon for Portal guns before

man i cannot wait for my next paycheck so i can get a FUCKING 5060 TI FUUUUUCK

my entire pc rebooted

[willow fog]

lmao

[compact blaze]

might be a good idea if you could try aim for like a 5070 cause soon all gpu prices will skyrocket and u def need smth thatll last

at least smth more than 8 gigs of ram

[subtle bison]

the 5060 ti is solely for remix

[winter radish]

5060 TI might actually be more expensive depending on the VRAM model, lmao

[subtle bison]

the rx 9070 is fucking awesome for rasterized games

[winter radish]

5070 has 12GBs vs 16GBs on the 5060 Ti and I think NVIDIA discontinued it because of that

[subtle bison]

bruh

wasnt it like $300-ish like 2 weeks ago

[lean hatch]

How come booger has access fo the update but not us smhsmh

Even on NVIDIA's site, the 5060 Ti is now more expensive than a founders 5070

[willow fog]

Scroll further up and you'll find the update.

[winter radish]

And I looked it up, it is indeed being discontinued if it already hasn't

[subtle bison]

xenthio pushed the files here

[lean hatch]

ITS WAS A JOKE

Chilll

Im joking

[compact blaze]

im so scared this’ll end up like that one stadia tattoo tweet

[willow fog]

disgusted cat sticker

[lean hatch]

I dont have internet so I cant update it

[subtle bison]

i think I'm just gonna cope and wait for mesa 26 to come out on linux so i can stop dealing with these absolute garbage windows drivers

that will cost me the least amount of money

[compact blaze]

Ur still on windows?

[subtle bison]

yeah for compiling remix and the binary module

thats literally it

[compact blaze]

cant u use a vm?

[subtle bison]

they use the msvc compiler but i think im just gonna make a windows vm or something

[compact blaze]

so ya vm

[subtle bison]

yeah but my only worry is that i cant really debug any issues when running gmod rtx in proton

well i probably can but it will be more complicated than doing it on visual studio in windows

[compact blaze]

you can use a windows vm that has access to the gpu on linux

[subtle bison]

ye i did VFIO when i got the 9070 last year

[compact blaze]

or duel boot

[winter radish]

NVIDIA hates Linux confirmed

[subtle bison]

[subtle bison]

@winter radish do any of your AMD contacts look at my amd driver bug reports

i've made 4 at this point

for the same issue 🙂

i even leave them my email

[winter radish]

I just know about the preview driver stuff, they respond pretty quickly to those

[subtle bison]

but it does

[weak ermine]

broken

glass

[subtle bison]

@winter radish looks like we can just play the entirety of p2 in gmod and copy over the toPBR stuff

lmao

[willow fog]

I wonder if ToPBR can be ported to portal 2 fixes

[subtle bison]

yes

they use the same hashes

this would be plug n play

[willow fog]

I wonder if someone would be willing to do it

[subtle bison]

literally copy to p2rtx rn

[willow fog]

oh....

oh god

[lean hatch]

Ok

[willow fog]

I'm gonna

do it

I'm doing it

[subtle bison]

refraction 🤓 @weak ermine

(in the elevator)

[winter radish]

fire all the artist now /jk

[subtle bison]

also i can modify the runtime to capture the API lights so we can move them to p2rtx

then we'd be 90% there in terms of playability

[weak ermine]

broken glass

doesn't refract

u can see how it changes

from cool glass to bigass pile of shit

[compact blaze]

who here is the immediate past president of the being alive club

[subtle bison]

ME MEM EMEME

[subtle bison]

i mean its pretty good for being automatic 🤓

[subtle bison]

lmao the broken cup sound at 2:08

idk why but its just so goofy

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/palpatine-dewit-gif-11426456

I’m pretty sure the testers are tired of no lights in most of the game

[compact blaze]

also whats NixOS

[subtle bison]

linux distro 🤓

[modern quest]

oh yeah that too

[sonic apex]

nixos is like the arch linux of arch linux

[compact blaze]

oh god

can you explain?

[sonic apex]

never used it but in nixos everything is configurable though a config file
like everything lol

which is kinda cool because you can move the config file between nixos installs very easily

[compact blaze]

Source modders dream?

[sonic apex]

lmao

[compact blaze]

what if i delete the config file

[sonic apex]

no idea

[compact blaze]

also whats that linux addon called again where if you fail a command ur system gets deleted?

[sonic apex]

I don't remember

[compact blaze]

@sonic apex are u on linux?

[sonic apex]

desktop is windows and my laptop is on linux

[compact blaze]

can u pretty pls install the addon and start work on a new project itd be like minecraft hardcore

[subtle bison]

yep, you can go further and do flakes which can make your entire OS version controlled

its awesome but its also a steep learning curve
this is my repo
https://github.com/sambow23/nixstuff

[sonic apex]

I forgot about that part... lol

honestly I can see a having my os being version controller could be nice

[subtle bison]

yep, wont ever break

every change made has a snapshot you can boot into directly

so i can boot into a version of my OS from like 6 months ago

[sonic apex]

sometimes you have to download a piece of software but you don't know exactly which version. with nixos you could test them all then revert and just install the version you want

[subtle bison]

yep

if something doesnt play nice with nixos i use distrobox so i can have a archlinux container for bleeding edge stuff

all my gpu drivers, home folder, etc is passed through

[sonic apex]

I didn't know you could do that with distro box

[subtle bison]

yeah i love it, especially for my arm64 laptop which runs ubuntu (but i need bleeding edge fedora rawhide packages)

[sonic apex]

does that work with the nvidia drivers too?

[subtle bison]

yep

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison

[subtle bison]

?

[compact blaze]

the addon that deletes your linux install if you fail a command

[subtle bison]

lmao what

[sonic apex]

yeah it was shown in an ltt video

if you don't type in a command properly it just nukes your install

[turbid barn]

Is it published?

[willow fog]

Nope

I need to redownload ccod but idk how

[compact blaze]

@willow fog why would ur mod be useless?

[willow fog]

because autopbr or whatever its called

[turbid barn]

dm

[willow fog]

yeah dm me

[modern quest]

you could use this instead if you want encouragement: https://github.com/fwdekker/mommy

[compact blaze]

what is THIS

[modern quest]

😆

[willow fog]

Holy SHIT

Authoritative older women make my dingaling rise

I'm getting that

[modern quest]

for me it's just comforting

i don't use it though, can't be bothered 🤣

[willow fog]

I want to make a joke but I feel like I shouldn't given the recent events

[modern quest]

go ahead

[willow fog]

Nah. I'll get your ass next time.

[willow fog]

Already forgot what I was about to say

Wait

Well

Whatever

[half viper]

[willow fog]

Kim's mom passed away recently.

LIGHT DISCORD THEME 🗣️

[weak ermine]

my fucking eyes

[lean hatch]

I love light mode

Light mode + HDR + Dark Room = Death

[sonic apex]

do you max out the sdr brightness slider while using hdr in windows? lol

[winter radish]

No, I have mine at 50%

but when playing an HDR game and adjusting the HDR brightness

[sonic apex]

I have it set to 31

31 = 204 nits
203 is usually the suggested brightness for sdr content in hdr

[winter radish]

let's see if my monitor is 700 nits then 50% would be 350 for me

I only found out my monitor was 700 nits because that's the max I've gotten games to go before it makes no difference

[keen rivet]

Can you look at it and run rtx_topbr_inspect and send the output

[keen rivet]

5070

[sonic apex]

the slider doesn't account for your peak brightness
the actual formula for it is 80 + (x*4)

50% is 280 nits

[winter radish]

Ah, lol

[sonic apex]

just windows things

[stark ether]

as always auto mode is the correct answer. light during the day, dark at night

https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/xp8jk4hzbvf435

[winter radish]

Light mode never

I use crimson discord theme ^^

[polar anchor]

is the autopbr thing you released early only for the og branch? I have both the perf branch and the og branch installed to different folders. I'll need to fix my perf now if it doesnt work with it yet

[keen rivet]

Its main branch only

[polar anchor]

also just thought about the MWR and MW2CR TFA weapons. They seem to have all of their material maps maybe? They just appear above the gun textures in remix for some reason, making all the guns glow to some extent lol

[keen rivet]

CR will need to edit his fork

Speak of the devil

[subtle bison]

it should be as simple as copying the autopbr stuff to it and recompiling

[keen rivet]

Hi CR!!!

[subtle bison]

hi 🙁

[polar anchor]

I see, I'll need to update the og branch bruh lol. Only the lord knows how out of date it is

[keen rivet]

One day we will have unified codebases that can switch at runtime

[subtle bison]

that day is soon

i really want runtime patches

i dont see a point in maintaining the python patches

[winter radish]

Guys, I’m making my own Gmod RTX for Steam
/jk /jk

[subtle bison]

im finally back after spending a few hours touching up my linux install

lets see how much of my dev enviornment can be carried over

[keen rivet]

Linux tech tips

[winter radish]

Just to use Windows for compiling

[lean hatch]

Accidentally deleting Linux today after I missed one command

[subtle bison]

naw

[winter radish]

You’ll never escape Windows

I can’t even escape

[subtle bison]

i will do literally anything to prevent more GPU driver crashes

im gonna explode if i keep dealing with them

[lean hatch]

Does Linux not have thoes issues

With amd

[winter radish]

Imagine if AMDs latest driver breaks more

[subtle bison]

radv is maintained by the community rather than AMD so no

❤️

[lean hatch]

Wow

[polar anchor]

yeah this is without the downgrade tool lol. had to copy over the newest launcher build (Avalona) Still had 2 other old launchers in there xD

[winter radish]

AMD contributes now to that
They ditched AMDVLK on Linux

So it’s pretty much the official driver for Linux now

[subtle bison]

sucks because amdvlk worked pretty good

but ik how much better radv will become

especially with mesa 26 🔥

[winter radish]

Yeah, but RADV just had more users
Even Valve used RADV in their Steam Deck

[subtle bison]

i mean no one really used amdvlk lol

it makes sense

[winter radish]

Steam Deck doesn’t even have Mesa 25

It’s on Mesa 24.3

[subtle bison]

time to put bazzite on it

[winter radish]

Never

[lean hatch]

Cr how exactly are you hiding skybox textures btw

In gmod

[subtle bison]

well if it didnt get regressed, it uses a gmod-rtx specific runtime texture category called the occluder texture, it skips any geometry behind it when rays hit it

[lean hatch]

gmod specific

Fuck

🗣️

[polar anchor]

Um this time downgrade worked with no issues?????? Was it because I was doing it with the perf branch before? The OG branch installed did it first try bro

[subtle bison]

i mean it would work in other games

[subtle bison]

its just in our runtime for now

[keen rivet]

Nice green colour

[subtle bison]

you dont need to downgrade anymore btw

[lean hatch]

So did the latest runtime regress it?

[subtle bison]

no it just doesnt exist in the normal runtime

[lean hatch]

Oh

[subtle bison]

its regressed in the actual compat mod beccause its using debugwhite as the texture

[polar anchor]

it is my discord, all other themes seem to shat on the bed. So i selected GoldSRc theme (my windows is clear using DWMGlass)

[lean hatch]

Oh

Could you theoretically make it to where it would, say, change a clip brush to be the texture?

[keen rivet]

Select vgui in launcher themes

[lean hatch]

Possibly

[subtle bison]

yeah

it works on any categorized texture, but its best to use a dedicated one

[lean hatch]

Grins in

Oh wait hm

[subtle bison]

yeah it would fix that

[lean hatch]

The clip brush doesnt get rendered tho

[subtle bison]

if you can spawn a mesh via the toolkit that can work too

btw it wont block shadows casted by the skybox

so thats still an issue

[polar anchor]

there you go. looks super strange to me xD

[subtle bison]

i tried to make it do that but its really expensive to filter out those rays

[lean hatch]

That wont really be an issue here, cuz its night time

But our runtime is also custom i think

[polar anchor]

Should add an Aero Glass theme, so I can complete the windows Vista/7 look

Was it just Arc9 MW19 ports that have broken metals, or ALL Arc9 packs? I could try the other packs I have to see what happens

[keen rivet]

Is this pushed anywhere btw?

[subtle bison]

if the windows amd driver was a victorian-era child, it would explode seeing this

[subtle bison]

no but i can

[keen rivet]

Yes pls

[winter radish]

Linux?

[subtle bison]

yeah

radv stable af

still not as fast as the windows driver but ill huff the copium for now

[winter radish]

If only FSR FG was working

[subtle bison]

hmm i can test that dll rq

[winter radish]

The DLL isn’t a problem, it’s the device queues using up too much

New NVIDIA has a shit ton of queues, but other GPUs don’t

[subtle bison]

well for radv the runtime crashes almost instantly

same as nvidia/linux

which is weird

[winter radish]

On Steam Deck, it just did nothing

I think because RDNA 4 has more queues than RDNA 2, it’s attempting to do something but then crashes
While Steam Deck can’t get that far because it’s lacking more queues

Same with older NVIDIA

FSR FG requires 4 queues
And I think it’s trying to execute all 4 on different families and something like the RTX 5060 Ti has 6 families with every queue available but something like RDNA 2 just has 2 or 3families

[keen rivet]

@subtle bison did you try the mwb weapons yet with auto pbr

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet i pushed the changes but i think the windows-style line endings messed with git and the diffs are very fucked

lmk if i need to revert
https://github.com/Xenthio/garrys-mod-rtx-remixed/commit/4721f801cb3259039f2854d5e08ef6bbdc812860

i think the files themselves are ok

[keen rivet]

do you think you can fix that?
If you cant be bothered then dont worry about it lol

[subtle bison]

idk how i would, i mounted my windows partition and opened that repo in vscode and then pushed the staged changes

[keen rivet]

what am I missing

[subtle bison]

you might have the old remix headers?

[keen rivet]

did you push new ones?

[subtle bison]

i pushed a change to remove mesh manager

you will need to compile the runtime too, or i can send it here

[keen rivet]

send it here if you can lol

i cant compile idk what did something not get pushed?

[subtle bison]

those changes were compilable for me, can you change the view to show where the error is coming from?

[keen rivet]

what are you looking to see?

[subtle bison]

if its coming from remixapi.cpp

[subtle bison]

ah fuck i forgot to push the deletion of those files, just remove them from your solution

i can modify premake to not include them if we need to keep them for archival reasons

[keen rivet]

thx

oh its wonderful when its realtime

[subtle bison]

its working?

[keen rivet]

yes

[subtle bison]

yippee

any noticable stutter?

[keen rivet]

nope

[subtle bison]

remix is fully async but i dont think i've fully smoothed out the binary module side

[subtle bison]

oh fuck yes

[keen rivet]

what did you change in here?

[subtle bison]

1. i moved a lot of the vtf extraction, processing, etc to a background thread (async as well)
2. it no longer re-iterates the entire list of known materials when processing, just newly discovered ones
3. process materials in batches

[keen rivet]

thats source file not the main file

[subtle bison]

?

[keen rivet]

thats where the exact algorithsm for conversion lives not the vtf processing and such

[subtle bison]

ah i misread

i booted back into windows, these are the changes, gonna fix the commit

ok its finally fixed

https://github.com/Xenthio/garrys-mod-rtx-remixed/commit/3d484a6cdb97def336133098e8b6ba9214772661

had to re-normalize all the files since linux touched the repo

[keen rivet]

wonderful thx

guh

fixing phong calculations

[winter radish]

How well does it work?

[subtle bison]

i installed it but i havent set up a project to use it yet

[polar anchor]

bro i hate this branch my god

sounds broken, mesh broken, hands are gone on arc 9?, stuff appearing and disappearing bro.

[subtle bison]

this has broke on recent gmod patches, its causing your hand issues

[subtle bison]

as for the map geo, enable Map Fixes in Base Options in the RTX spawnmenu

it turns on mat_forcedynamic 1

[keen rivet]

helps with weapons I think too

[polar anchor]

just the chen patch or ALL of VMANIP?

[subtle bison]

peak

[subtle bison]

just the patch

[polar anchor]

ah okay. BRUH map patches takes away 100 FPS xD

Next I gotta find out how to fix the broken/missing audio

what is the command to run for auto pbr? I did put in the files xenthio leaked in before

[keen rivet]

rtx_topbr_process

[polar anchor]

will it do map textures or just viewmodels?

[keen rivet]

both

[polar anchor]

Testing the MW2 Terminal map

[polar anchor]

will try the tfa MWR Weapons, hopefully it will detect the material maps lol

hang on ill show you what it looks like before i run it so you cna get an idea

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/kratos-standing-aura-lightning-god-of-war-gif-11577634319137475718

don't be shy

merge it into P2 RTX

(I forgot Xenthio has a P2 RTX key, lmao)

[keen rivet]

lol

[polar anchor]

here is what i mean before i run the tool

it didnt fix the glow but it did do something

uhh here is a screenshot when it is frozen (i flicked the enchaned assets settings and it froze the game)

[keen rivet]

why does the gun look like that

[polar anchor]

i dont know, I assume it has something to do with having its original material maps maybe?

i usually set it to legacy enhanced + decal to fix it if I remember correctly

gotta reboot the game, doesnt seem to want to unfreeze skull2

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3649277400 NO WAY, finally singleplayer prophunt RTX

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3094384539&searchtext=tfa+mwr Anyways here is the weapons in the photo

[keen rivet]

brah

this is fine

[subtle bison]

are you fixing up hw skinning

[keen rivet]

no just debugging crashes

its like this is just fucked or something or its different

[polar anchor]

after running the rtx_topbr_process command once, i can no longer play gmod bro. it has been like this for over 10 mins. No matter what addons I disable or enable

no matter the map either

does not advance past the first frame

[keen rivet]

our pClientRenderable is completely fucked sometimes

[keen rivet]

sig seems correct?

[subtle bison]

is this for forcing hw lighting for props

[keen rivet]

yeah

[lapis delta]

[polar anchor]

little did he know, that little move costed me the ability to play anything on gmod

[keen rivet]

how

what happened

how is it permanently stuck

@subtle bison fixed a bunch of crashes

a bunch of maps and addon combos that crashed before just work now

i can load csgo office now

[polar anchor]

idk. After i double clicked the enable enhanced assets option it froze. So i restarted the game and now it just stops loading on the first frame after map load. However loading the perf instance I have loads just fine (after disabling all weapon bases)

It is something with the normal branch that just hates my pc ig

[keen rivet]

try delete the material cache

go in here

delete materials.usda and textures

[subtle bison]

csgo office already worked for me but less crashes are always good ☺️

[polar anchor]

okay will try, just messing around in my working install rn

dubstep gun doesnt seem to light up anything unfortunately

whoops ah dont do that next time IG XD

froze the game (but not the audio)

[polar anchor]

okay gonna boot it up now

okay it loaded in

so it was something with the autopbr then?

hmm ran the command and it froze the game, gonna give it 5 more mins till i just close it

[keen rivet]

sounds like the usda writing does that sometimes hmm

probably wont be the case in the async version

[keen rivet]

you can try if you want

[keen rivet]

.

binary, dxvk-remix, and addon

[polar anchor]

should I delete the materials and textures again?

[keen rivet]

Yeah

[zealous narwhal]

Why are all the windows white and non-transparent

[polar anchor]

where do i put the big zip stuff?

nvm found it

bin/win64

[subtle bison]

is that the brutalist map

[zealous narwhal]

Yea

[subtle bison]

i think it uses some custom shaders for those windows or something

[polar anchor]

What about the sky turning black when looking around and sometimes shooting on og branch?

some of my screenshots are just black, very weird but hey one the 3 are fine. It auto did this one lol

looks amazing! So I dont need to run the command every gun?

the csgo swat model goes HARD

idk if the gun has its stuff but hey, looks good to me rn

[polar anchor]

It does do it automatically and does the same for all attachments too! You REALLY outdone yourself!

One of the greatest remix additions I've ever seen man, right next to legacy emissive tool

[polar anchor]

random spike in my vram, is there a way to flush it so it doesnt freeze the game and make it run at 2 fps?

seems to happen after switching between multiple playermodels

Also may have to clear the folder everytime. Since im back to the black screen

might want to add that as a button on the launcher, to clear the gmod_topbr folder

[half viper]

i hate the fact that now im just lurking here watching this chat everyday

wish i could somehow contribute

[polar anchor]

post errors you find

like what I'm trying to do rn lol

[half viper]

im not playing gmod lately either

[polar anchor]

than you wont be able to contribute bro
