Here's a non-twitter take for you
ya him being snarky about valve taking down tf2 s2 was also very annoying
half viper
Btw you still can make your own custom models
willow fog
He's snarky about most things
half viper
I loved when he was talking about taking a shit in a plane
compact blaze
He's snarky about most things
acting like we’re spoiled children especially after he kept changing core parts of s&box and breaking games/assets with short notice
willow fog
To be fair s&box is still early in dev so that's not a huge deal
compact blaze
To be fair s&box is still early in dev so that's not a huge deal
my main issue was he was snarky about it and made making content for the game kinda worthless if it’d just be broken on a whim making you wonder why he even let large amount of people in early
Even having a beta access lottery on the site for a bit
mental snow
its kind of exhausting to keep reading these stupid takes on twitter about s&box, the worst is how they completely water the game down to as "roblox 2 lolololol" when in reality it's so much more powerful than roblox and the fact it's an entire engine that a developer can use to create an entire game completely separate from both s&box and it's ecosystem is just a net positive for not only the industry but also indie devs, giving developers more choice for engines is never a bad thing
but it is what it is, especially on the internet where people take the worst possible take and run with it as fact
like sure s&box definitely took after roblox with how its set up their little mini-games inside of the launcher and whatnot
but completely ignoring the fact you can use s&box as an engine to create an entirely separate game is just being willfully ignorant to be hyperbole
compact blaze
its kind of exhausting to keep reading these stupid takes on twitter about s&box...
im gonna be honest its hard to say its not roblox 2 when opening the game pops you up with ai slop thumbnails which i swear it was never like back in 2023
roblox is also an extremely powerful engine but sadly promotes slop engagement, you can find incredible games if you know what you’re looking for
mental snow
I don't think AI slop thumbnails should be your takeaway for it being roblox 2, I personally do hope that facepunch will clamp down on the AI usage for s&box as it will just be a net positive cause fuck AI and mostly everything that comes with it
but ultimately, s&box being essentially a source 2 sdk shouldn't be overlooked imo
compact blaze
I don't think AI slop thumbnails should be your takeaway for it being roblox 2, ...
ya i desperetly hope so cause each time i open s&box i never find anything fun to discover compared to back in 2023
mental snow
a better source 2 I might add, cause valve's source 2 branches are already starting to look like hell
valve is yet again making the same mistake, bunch of different branches that all have different features and (potentially) missing features from the previous branches
butttttt at the same time it doesn't matter cause valve is clearly not intending on releasing an SDK
it's clear they want facepunch to push that

i still think they’re saving a modding sdk for hl3 (i say that as i just remembered hla also had a modding sdk)
mental snow
and on top of that, facepunch rewrote a bunch of old shit from S2, a lot of S2 systems were still from S1 because again; valve is only really changing things for stuff they need at the moment otherwise they just keep old systems
which again is fine cuz it works for them
but it'd really shaft anyone looking to seriously mod with a hypothetical valve source 2 SDK

doubtful, at most I think we'll see an updated hammer editor, modeldoc perhaps

I will say though there were a few games I checked out like 2 weeks ago that were really cool
there was this incredibly cool recreation of nazi zombies from waw but with a unique artstyle
there is potential to be had here
compact blaze
i hope if you can create games outside of s&box with the engine people make source 2 ports of valve games with no garry to snark about
mental snow
doubtful, valve wouldn't allow this
the same reason they didn't allow the tf2 source 2 thing to go through
compact blaze
doubtful, valve wouldn't allow this
they’ve allowed recreations on other engines
mental snow
not any that I'm particularly familiar with
compact blaze
not any that I'm particularly familiar with
first thing i can remember is hl2 on unity
mental snow
but the bottomline is, the assets they used in tf2 source 2 were from valve, and you're allowed to use them within the confines of source 1
as far as I remember, it was entirely a licensing issue because the assets are just not allowed to redistributed like that
compact blaze
but the bottomline is, the assets they used in tf2 source 2 were from valve, and...
It does make me wonder why valve took so long to take down the free project
mental snow
they probably didn't know of its existence until they did
compact blaze
they probably didn't know of its existence until they did
insert staring gif here
mental snow
I think you'd be overestimating the employees at valve if you think they'd know of these projects until they either gain a lot of traction or their lawyers get a hold of the information
but at the same time, it's entirely possible valve was aware of it and figured they wouldn't release it
cause i dont think valve would have cared had it never been released
willow fog
I glanced over the conversation.
My Twitter feed is only porn so I don't read any opinions there. My opinions are mostly my own and from the looks of it, s&box is headed in roblox's direction. Shitty games, developed for a quick buck. Sure, it is a game engine, but it's the type of place that doesn't promote much creativity. From the games that I have seen there, it's mostly low effort. Garry himself is an unlikable person and some of his decisions have been questionable.
I don't have anything against s&box. It is what it is but the way their store is setup and what I've seen on the games page it's certainly headed towards an item-farming platform.
Where people are more concerned about making a quick buck rather than creating something enjoyable.
I'm sure there will be good games there eventually. But they're going to be short lived and buried under piles of slop.

Disabled threaded optimizations too
Also disabled Steam and GOG overlays + game bar

@subtle bison Could the spaming of out of range or Opacity Micromap potentially cause it? Even after clearing gmod's shaders and changing the Vulkan present method to (Layered on DXGI Swapchain) and TDR to 10 still has crashing.

Havent seen it so far in any normal remix (well ones without compat addons). But I have seen it for L4D2, Gmod, Portal 2, and GTA 4 (Which all have compat mods)
Weird what is common between all these games with compat mods that cause me to have this issue
Waw has different issues, and cod 4 doesnt have that disconnect issue either (so that makes 2 compat games that dont have it). I havent tested FNV enough to see if it crashes that way

i dont think we'll ever get it to be 1:1 with the original engine rendered stuff
but it looks like the vertex normals are a bit weird on displacements?

but it looks like the vertex normals are a bit weird on displacements?
also think displacements (or maybe it's blended textures) are scaled incorrectly and have no autopbr

like on construct and flatgrass
the blending is slightly different from engine-rendered

sw.vtx/dx8 gets used if its still there, but we also force the dx9 ones to render if not, not sure for grigori but i can check real quick
woeful phoenix
oh good you even have the sw ones
subtle bison
sw.vtx/dx8 gets used if its still there, but we also force the dx9 ones to rende...
looks like its all still there
woeful phoenix
Alright, so observations
pieces of that mesh is rendering properly
Meaning this is probably a translation error
Spawn him somewhere near the origin
does his verts go to the origin
if it does, make sure you are sending the right dx matrix and the bone info for translation
Second observation
It is possible there is a blend matrix restriction you haven't patched yet
subtle bison
does his verts go to the origin
no, in that video they are relative to the camera, but i have a debug cvar called r_hwskin_transpose, and if its set to 4, the bones do go to the origin
woeful phoenix
They pull to the camera?
subtle bison
yeah one sec ill get a video
woeful phoenix
It is possible there is a blend matrix restriction you haven't patched yet
It is possible you are not indicating how many bones are actually being sent to the module, meaning it'll support maybe the first 4 by default and then get dumb and send the rest to the origin
Also I found in dark messiah I actually had to invert I think the root bone or something
I can't pull up the code right now
But that only happened because all my bones were correct but rendering at the origin
subtle bison
subtle bison
But that only happened because all my bones were correct but rendering at the or...
ah yeah that's sounds sorta like what happens at 1:13 in the vid (his legs are sort of ok)
subtle bison
And importantly WHICH bones go to the origin
all of them except the root it seems?
subtle bison
They pull to the camera?
nevermind, they just stick to another skinned mesh (which i guess is my playermodel in this instance)
woeful phoenix
So let me ask you, if you take a capture right now in remix, do you actually get a capture of the bones correctly
Or do you get like 100 little skel captures
Or, one capture but it's got only 3 bones in it
That pretty much gives you an idea of how remix is receiving the bone palette
From VTMB
Ignore the fact there are two meshes on the right
The palette was correctly transferred, so we can see all the bones
If the bones are all there but in the origin, we have a vector problem
if they aren't, something with the palette
If it's 100 different skels, you do not have a unified skeleton being rendered
So even if you got it working it'd still not be skinnable
And that would affect the vertex stuff because it'd be looking for the 0 -> MaxBones palette
thus go loco
On my PC now let me check my DX settings
you get me the other answers
subtle bison
Or, one capture but it's got only 3 bones in it
the bones are there, but vary in size (not sure if that matters)
they look to be correct?
woeful phoenix
Yeah that looks correct
great
So your problem is something stupid with the vert settings
For me I just keep it simple
void __fastcall CShaderAPIDX8_SetSkinningMatrices(void* This, void* _EDX)
{
//CShaderAPIDX_SetFixedFunctionStateSkinningMatrices(This, _EDX);
void* mystery_obj = (void*)((int)This + 4);
void* mystery_obj_vtable = *(void**)(mystery_obj);
srv_MethodSingleArgRet GetMaxBlendMatricies = *(srv_MethodSingleArgRet*)((int)mystery_obj_vtable + 116);
int blend_count = (int)GetMaxBlendMatricies(mystery_obj, _EDX);
if (blend_count < 1)
return;
m_pD3DDevice = *(IDirect3DDevice9**)((int)This + 28);
//m_pD3DDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_VERTEXBLEND, D3DVBF_3WEIGHTS);
if (g_BONEDATA.bone_count > 1)
m_pD3DDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_INDEXEDVERTEXBLENDENABLE, TRUE);
else
m_pD3DDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_INDEXEDVERTEXBLENDENABLE, FALSE);
for (int i = 0; i < g_BONEDATA.bone_count; i++)
{
VMatrix mat;
MatrixCopy(g_BONEDATA.bone_matricies[i], mat);
if (g_BONEDATA.bone_count != 1)
MatrixTranspose(mat, mat);
m_pD3DDevice->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLDMATRIX(i), (D3DMATRIX*)&mat);
}
}``` if (numBones > 1) {
pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_INDEXEDVERTEXBLENDENABLE, TRUE);
// Set vertex blend mode based on number of bones
// D3DVBF_0WEIGHTS = 1 matrix, D3DVBF_1WEIGHTS = 2 matrices, etc.
D3DVERTEXBLENDFLAGS blendFlags = D3DVBF_DISABLE;
if (numBones >= 4) {
blendFlags = D3DVBF_3WEIGHTS; // 4 bone influences
} else if (numBones >= 3) {
blendFlags = D3DVBF_2WEIGHTS; // 3 bone influences
} else if (numBones >= 2) {
blendFlags = D3DVBF_1WEIGHTS; // 2 bone influences
}
pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_VERTEXBLEND, blendFlags);
} else {
pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_INDEXEDVERTEXBLENDENABLE, FALSE);
pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_VERTEXBLEND, D3DVBF_DISABLE);
}```Yours looks abit more involved
Maybe try dumbing it down and just setting the index true/false?
subtle bison
yeah i can give that a shot
as for the tanspose debug cvar btw, it changes the d3dmatrix layout
woeful phoenix
That's fine, use whichever one brings it to the position its supposed to be
subtle bison
in that blender capture its 1
D3DMATRIX:
[ R00 R10 R20 0 ]
[ R01 R11 R21 0 ]
[ R02 R12 R22 0 ]
[ Tx Ty Tz 1 ]
The key thing is that your bones are actually getting captured properly
That means remix has the info it needs
so it comes down to the vert referencing things incorrectly, or some other settings mucking it up
Remember that when you are changing the blend flags you are changing the way it reads the vertex information
so if it expects 3 weights, it may read the vert format deeper than it should
Oh and speaking of vert format, I believe mark said we have to use a different one
one sec
subtle bison
would those larger bones in my screenshot be the weights? i dont fully understand
there is 3 of them
oh that might be the viewmodel arms
not sure why they're all bunched up together
nevermind that looks correct too? no idea then
woeful phoenix
there's also a change from using D3DDECLTYPE_D3DCOLOR to D3DDECLTYPE_UBYTE4 when it comes to declaring bone indices in the vertex data
Don't worry about those bigger bones
That note there, make sure you are swapping that type
The func I patched was:
{
// this isn't FVF!!!!!
pDecl[i].Stream = 0;
pDecl[i].Offset = offset;
#if !defined( _X360 )
pDecl[i].Type = D3DDECLTYPE_D3DCOLOR;
#else
pDecl[i].Type = D3DDECLTYPE_UBYTE4;
#endif
pDecl[i].Method = D3DDECLMETHOD_DEFAULT;
pDecl[i].Usage = D3DDECLUSAGE_BLENDINDICES;
pDecl[i].UsageIndex = 0;
offset += 4;
++i;
}```
You'll probably want to enforce the ubyteI think that just patches it to value 5 from 4
subtle bison
The func I patched was:
```void ComputeVertexSpec( VertexFormat_t fmt, D3DVERTE...
where is this being patched? studiorender.dll?
woeful phoenix
Either way test to see if just setting the indexing works on its own
woeful phoenix
where is this being patched? studiorender.dll?
shaderapidx9
Anything that passes through mesh rendering will be in the shaderapi
consider it the translation layer for the D3Device
subtle bison
thank you for pointing me in the right direction 🥹🙏 . I'll start poking at it again tomorrow
Wish i thought to check the bones in blender earlier, super validating to see everything in its right place
woeful phoenix
it's great work, getting that palette to be picked up is the single most annoying shit ever
you're basically 80% of the way done
Once it's up though.. you're gonna have some problems between DX9 and the SW one
I think they map to their own internal palette
so you'll have to discern that
Or just say fuck it, onyl works on SW
subtle bison

MAY HAVE FINALLY FIXED THE VK ISSUE. Not 100% sure it is fixed, but my game is so far running stable. Re-ran DDU, Reset MSI Afterburner to Default GPU settings, set Vulkan to "Preferred DXGI Swap Chain", Disabled Threaded optimization (dont know if this is needed for others but so far works with gmod), MAKE SURE TO USE DRIVER VERSION 581.80!!!!! There was a couple other things I did, but I am really tired rn so I'll send it later. Just ask me tomorrow and I can add the rest EDIT: Forgot to mention I didnt get the nvidia app either, just driver only
polar anchor
anyways im still getting the frame drop issue after playing for a while. I'm checking my vram usage and it isnt even in the red. So IDK what is happening here, the fps goes back up when disabling RT though

-# can someone explain why hardware skinning is a big deal?
subtle bison
we can do mesh replacements for NPCs and other stuff now
so i could make dr kleiner like 2 million tris or something
but it also allows for stable motion vectors to be generated for view models, super important for upscaling and frame gen
sonic apex
ahhh
assume this is just for gmod, right?
subtle bison
yeah, there is no way to do this generically for a game
its one of the hardest things to get working in remix
should've also mentioned hw skinning also helps a fuck ton with performance

come on what happened
subtle bison
naw that was really it. But really king david got me back on the right track
didnt occur to me to see if the bones ever showed up in blender like the 4 weeks ago since i started working on it as well lol
woeful phoenix
I'll take the credit xenthio promised me a year or so now 
What was the problem
Also for bones check the lods
That's how remix forms the hash
The actual number of bones / hierarchy and pos
And the orientations etc
subtle bison
What was the problem
a few things:
hardware bone id remapping
set D3DRS_VERTEXBLEND to D3DVBF_2WEIGHTS
and the D3DDECLTYPE_UBYTE4 patch you mentioned
subtle bison
these are mostly fixed now
magnusson's face still peels when he turns his head, i notice all of the faces are still sw skinned
so maybe im still missing something
the neck of some tf2 mercenaries are also missing
woeful phoenix
Oh I took pics of this, there are two pipelines for models
subtle bison
but these are dx9 only iirc
woeful phoenix
The face flexes themselves and the actual mesh
I think you need to swap out the face
I'll have to find the paths I had in DM
Hl2 RTX, COMBINED, NO SW, NO HW
This may just be a problem with the newer source versions too
subtle bison
yeah gmod x64 is a whole can of worms
let's just say i studied a specific version of hl2 for reference and not a lot matched up
woeful phoenix
Rubat did a lot of changes so
The only way you'll get this is by just dropping the SW pipeline
And forcing those face flexes to not occur
You'll deal with non-flexible models
But it should work
You might get lucky and it'll still apply to some degree
But when I get home later I'll see my DM code
There were a few bypasses I did

btw keep in mind when making replacements, the mesh hashes might change in the future as i try to fix hl2rtx compat
polar anchor
<:steamhappy:1438637501911666769>
Shouldnt this old mount hl2rtx file i have still include the model replacements? They should work with this build right?
subtle bison
no
as mentioned above, all skinned mesh hashes are different right now
and swapping the hashes in the mod.usda doesnt work, so our skinning approach isnt 1:1 to how hl2rtx is
so while it does work, you'll need to make your own replacements for it right now
polar anchor
We can at last finally add 3d grass and snow! Now I should go learn how to
subtle bison
hardware skinning is for dynamic meshes like NPCs, weapons and stuff. gmod already had stable mesh hashes for static objects. For world geometry, you'd attach stuff to the map anchor
polar anchor
Map anchor?
subtle bison
anything you want to add to the map that isnt a replacement, so lights and additional geo, you'd add replacements to this in the toolkit
polar anchor
Wouldnt it work if we apply it to the grass texture directly? Or would that make it now move in the wind/interact with objects/player
subtle bison
no, the mesh hashes for world geometry is unstable unless you're using performance mode, but its preferrable to make replacements work in both modes
(perf mode is the perf fork being merged into main)
keen rivet
i added a toggle to the base options spawn menu tho
There's probably tonnes of things we can disable when rtx enabled is ticked off now that more stuff is runtime
