Garry's Mod

[steel lark]

Any RTXian news? I’m traveling

[willow fog]

erm

so how do I get this combined fixes package

[subtle bison]

wdym

[willow fog]

the perf + normal

binary

[subtle bison]

its the main nightly

[willow fog]

v

v

v

fucking ctrl key

[subtle bison]

2nd one

needs nightly remix too

[willow fog]

v

v

[subtle bison]

main bruh

so the one u have selected

[willow fog]

uh

[willow fog]

so like this

[subtle bison]

yuh

[willow fog]

ok now how black mesa

I stole it

[loud mural]

GarrysMod\garrysmod\cfg\mount.cfg

[willow fog]

hm

[subtle bison]

or in this case ur gmod rtx install

[subtle bison]

no

needs the bms folder

[subtle bison]

remove the double slashes like it says lol

[willow fog]

lets seee

guh

[subtle bison]

you need the black mesa support addon installed for them to be categorized correctly

[willow fog]

Well I need black mesa to show up first

That's probably important

[subtle bison]

it is, in your other folder
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3628976480&searchtext=blacck+mesa

[willow fog]

ooh

im in

Looks kinda pbrless

[loud mural]

Make sure topbr is enabled and make sure you've restarted the game if this is your first time enabling topbr

Also it can take a minute for all of the textures to be applied

[willow fog]

hm

windows too dark

I was told that eyes were fixed

[subtle bison]

ignore the glint texture as seen here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHphKXxuCOs

[willow fog]

epic

[quasi blaze]

Wait were you using gp2-framework?

i noticed it at the bottom of the screen at the left

[willow fog]

yes

[quasi blaze]

don't you know those versions you are playing are kinda outdated?

[willow fog]

I know

[quasi blaze]

well roxas and Cnick are working on a new version just to make you aware

[willow fog]

Yeah I know

[royal vortex]

this is seriously insane looking, almost looks real

[royal vortex]

how do you turn on vsync

i cannot get it to turn on

does it work?

[compact blaze]

whats wrong with the aspect ratio?

[modern quest]

intentionally cropped most likely

[willow fog]

Backrooms cool

Epicly behind the room

[onyx ridge]

is there a difference between autopbr and topbr?

i keep seeing both terms being used

[keen rivet]

Gmod rtx for mobile

[keen rivet]

They're the same thing

[onyx ridge]

[keen rivet]

I just didn't have a name at the time I made the convars

Then I started using sutopbr and i didn't want to change the existing convars

[willow fog]

Sutopbr

[livid rapids]

It would be cool, now that we have Sutopbr, if we could have at least a Roughness Bias option per texture hash because look at my shiny ass camp kairo concrete bruh

also Hi physgun glass

[weak ermine]

cr wanted to add it, just wait

[livid rapids]

Oh I didn't know it was planned

Thanks for letting me know

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison when does ur 5080 arrive?

[compact blaze]

suto?

[livid rapids]

Sutopbr

[compact blaze]

whats a sutopbr

[livid rapids]

it's... you know... autopbr but with an S for extra coolness

[compact blaze]

What does the S stand for

[livid rapids]

Sutopbr

[compact blaze]

what does the S in Sutopbr stand for

[livid rapids]

Yeah it's Sutopbr utopbr but I guess xenthio was on something

[compact blaze]

@keen rivet what wrong with u

[livid rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/kathlol-speed-ishowspeed-speed-laugh-ishowspeed-laugh-gif-3259526663984568833

[keen rivet]

Typing is hard

[compact blaze]

ur in australia rn so its like 11pm right?

[keen rivet]

10:21

[half viper]

its so over

[royal vortex]

wait whats Sutopbr? i havent been in this server for awhile.

[weak ermine]

people really that dumb?

[subtle bison]

its called topbr officially, converts ingame normal, bump, env, etc maps into a pseudo-PBR version for remix automatically

[steel lark]

is reshade supposed to be installed on gmod.exe, bin/gmod.exe or bin/win64/gmod.exe and dx9 or vulkan?

[sonic apex]

why do want reshade?

[subtle bison]

bin/win64/gmod.exe as vulkan

[steel lark]

idk

[steel lark]

thx

reshade is installed but i can't open it

with the home button

[subtle bison]

guh it used to work fine on x64

like does the startup message show

[steel lark]

nope

when i open reshade and try to install it again it shows it's already installed

vkbasalt did work on gmod rtx

[subtle bison]

if this is on linux then i have no idea

[steel lark]

oh

oops should have told you that first

[subtle bison]

reshade uses vulkan layers for the vulkan backend and that probably doesnt play nice with proton

[steel lark]

should i use dx9 then?

[subtle bison]

no it will prevent remix from working

[steel lark]

i'll try other reshade linux methods

[loud mural]

I think I'm finally done posting bug reports for the time being. I would have had this done days ago if YouTube would have let me upload more than ten videos a day...

[subtle bison]

you've definitely gone above and beyond

🙏

[loud mural]

I'm glad they are useful, some people aren't very happy when I do that lol

I love gmod rtx anyway

This is my small contribution

[subtle bison]

naw its big, dont forget you got x64 culling patches as well

[loud mural]

Yeah from Null

I wanna ask him again but I feel bad

He won't take my money ;c

[subtle bison]

for what? just curious

[loud mural]

More patches ofc

[subtle bison]

yeah but what other patches?

[loud mural]

Ya know, water and skybox

[subtle bison]

i get skybox culling, but wdym for water

[loud mural]

And the backface shit that resurfaced

[loud mural]

Remember how the above and below will cull depending on which side your on on some maps?

[subtle bison]

ah right

[loud mural]

It's just last time it took hours for us to find those sigs

And I felt bad I couldn't compensate him

[subtle bison]

probably because he did it for fun? i dont know the conversation though

[loud mural]

Yeah honestly I think that's partly why

[subtle bison]

it wouldn't have happened if you hadnt asked him and us about it tho

[loud mural]

We also worked on the P2 multiplayer mod together so we already had a working relationship

[loud mural]

True, you know what I will take credit for, the idea of swapping the HDR and LDR light maps so the lights would load :P

That was fun when I finally saw it work

[subtle bison]

for this issue
https://github.com/Xenthio/garrys-mod-rtx-remixed/issues/127

I removed them because they had really bizzare rendering issues that vmf changes wouldnt overcome

[loud mural]

vmf changes?

[subtle bison]

for the material

[loud mural]

Oh you mean vmt?

[subtle bison]

oops yes

[loud mural]

Gotcha

[subtle bison]

idk if you remember, but if you grabbed something with the gravity gun and changed weapons, it would show the beam buzzing around on your current weapon

and it stayed persistently

[loud mural]

Oh yeah I absolutely remember that

There must be a way to fix it for real though

[subtle bison]

there should probably be a proper fix, but currently i just made the texture invisible

[loud mural]

Since it's fixed in HL2 RTX

[loud mural]

Yeah exactly why I put it up on GitHub

Because that texture is even used in some maps

And now it doesn't show up anymore

But it's a good temp fix

[subtle bison]

yeah but i dont think we can really compare to hl2rtx, significantly different engine changes, especially with rubat plucking away at fixed function stuff over time

[loud mural]

Ughhh

I didn't realize he was pruning that stuff

[subtle bison]

like 3 changes a year, nothing serious atm

im just waiting for the day FF mode is completely gone lol

[loud mural]

Someone should email him screenshots of our best work and explain that if he doesn't want to support our effort just stop ripping out the fixed function code so we can at least still have RTX functioning

[subtle bison]

iirc there is a github issue already

hold on lemme find it

[loud mural]

Ik

[subtle bison]

🥀

[loud mural]

But email would be a better way imo, it's more direct and you could start off with the fruits of our labor instead of asking him to support some mod he doesn't know about

[loud mural]

Okay well at least he's not going to try to screw us then

We just have to fend for ourselves

Not the worst position

[subtle bison]

we already have downgrading in the launcher so if something breaks it entirely, there is that

[lean hatch]

Whats this for

[loud mural]

But eventually you'd need to upgrade at some point, but good for a stop gap if something happens

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-issues/issues/5826

[subtle bison]

yeah i'd prefer to the project to follow x64 as close as we can

[loud mural]

Didn't we end up getting around this somehow?

[subtle bison]

xenthio came up with a workaround yeah

[loud mural]

Can I put suggestions in a GitHub issue btw?

[subtle bison]

yeah for sure

i put some of my own in there already

maybe put a tag in the title like (feature)

[loud mural]

Gotcha

Idk if this is possible but I was thinking you could have a .txt data file with all the lights in the map and their positions and you could toggle a mode where you could move them and turn it on and off and have presets that you could make yourself that save as txt files for each map

[subtle bison]

yeah thats very possible

[loud mural]

I mean since we have realtime light mise well take advantage

It'd be easier then opening up the Remix toolkit

Plus on a multiplayer server rtx clients could be synced

Because I hate the random fill lights that mappers put in their maps

Like ik why they exist they just look bad in Remix

[subtle bison]

yeah i've seen that too lol

[loud mural]

Did you see that weird specular warping issue?

That's so weird

[subtle bison]

i should've asked on the issue, does it happen on perf?

you mentioned engine in the title so i inferred its normal there

[loud mural]

I guess you didn't see the video?

[subtle bison]

i did, but only a brief part of it lol

[loud mural]

Ahhh gotcha

I toggle it on and off

Engine is fucked

[subtle bison]

gotcha, ill rewatch it

[loud mural]

Perf looks perfect

It's funny how good perf looks in comparison

[subtle bison]

wtf

[loud mural]

Huh?

[subtle bison]

best comparison is 0:50

the engine rendered stuff acts like its one big circular cubemap

[loud mural]

Yeah lol

[subtle bison]

i wonder if this is intentional now that i think about it...

[loud mural]

It doesn't happen on some brushes though

I don't think it is

If you play bigcity in raster that behavior doesn't exist

[subtle bison]

i dont think raster will ever be comparible to remix for reflections like that

cubemap vs actual bouncing rays

so its most likely an engine bug or some kind of tomfoolery that just isnt visible in cubemaps

[lean hatch]

Speaking of

Does big city work with remix now

[subtle bison]

improved doesnt

causes remix to rasterize

but normal one does

[lean hatch]

Oh

Is jt known why improved does

[loud mural]

You can see at 1:30 it only happens to a quarter of the texture

[subtle bison]

im pretty sure its because it uses the env_tonemap entity

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Xenthio/garrys-mod-rtx-remixed/issues/102

[loud mural]

If you make insanely high res cubemaps you'll see that that warping doesn't happen iirc

I think it has something to do with the way the brushes are being rendered

[subtle bison]

yeah but cubemaps render with a shader that projects it to the player's camera, so there is nothing physical about it vs remix where its actually bouncing rays off the geometry

so the geometry is doing some inception shit lmao

or really just the vertex normals

im sure the geo is straight

perf computes its own

which is why its probably not affected

[loud mural]

I think it's the vertex normals imo

You can see it's fucked on construct too

[subtle bison]

ngl i dont think its fixable lol, unless we just want to do half perf and half engine lol

[loud mural]

Honestly I hope perf mode becomes the defacto rendering method

It's so much better in so many ways

You did a really good job

Even though it has its issues

[subtle bison]

i personally would prefer if it was based on the remix api / C++ instead of full lua

it stressess out the garbage collector so hard for static props

[loud mural]

Are there plans for multiplayer support?

[subtle bison]

yeah, i did fixes for multiplayer somewhere between aug-oct for 0.8.1 but a lot of major project changes have probably broken it since then

[loud mural]

Should I report multiplayer bugs or wait until there's actually a concerted effort

[subtle bison]

wdym converted effort?

[lean hatch]

Goodnight cmod chat

[loud mural]

My bad, spell check sucks

[loud mural]

gn :P

[loud mural]

concerted effort*

[subtle bison]

you can make issues now if you want, I have no idea what's broken atm

but there is one exception

[loud mural]

Alright cool

Hmm?

[subtle bison]

public servers wont work at all right now unless they are hosting the addon/module, so i wouldnt make issues for that, The plan is to inject the mod into the game so it works completely clientside for normal servers

[loud mural]

Fuucck yeah

I was hoping you guys had an idea for that

That's fucking awesome

[subtle bison]

there are some injecton tools that already exist that i have messed with and its definitely possible

[loud mural]

Duuude

I'm so excited

RTX mutiplayerrerrr

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/vurvdev/Autorun-ng

[loud mural]

One day

[subtle bison]

it has been done before when vulpes hosted a server when MP was fixed

[loud mural]

Lmao

There are just repos sitting around for injecting into this game

Love it

[modern quest]

https://tenor.com/view/cute-cat-cute-hide-and-seek-peek-pet-gif-9760541790248270774

[loud mural]

When perf mode has parity with engine you should make a raster version. I assume it wouldn't be too hard, you just need to re-enable PVS and light maps. But I have no idea how hard that would be

[loud mural]

Henmoj

[subtle bison]

#1116089843479498782 message finally found it

[loud mural]

Ooo

Was someone else hosting with the mod?

[subtle bison]

yeah vulpes had a dedicated server

[modern quest]

you guys like cute emotes, right? please post them so i can add them in #server-feedback

[subtle bison]

its funny because it runs far worse if you run it in raster without any engine patches

[loud mural]

O

Lmao

[subtle bison]

like still in the upper hundreds, but engine is in the thousands

[loud mural]

Ahhh alright

[subtle bison]

perf only exists to render almost all geometry without culling but without bottlenecking the engine

[loud mural]

I've always tried to squeeze every frame outta this game because I host a listen server with way too many addons lol

[loud mural]

Yeah ik, I was just hoping it worked better in raster

[loud mural]

Did he have the mod installed or were you injecting as a client?

[modern quest]

pst sorry ik this is really off topic but which light type is best to use?

[subtle bison]

depends on your usage

[lean hatch]

Nvm my head still is still wacky so hello gmod chat

[subtle bison]

if you're replicating the game, use sphere, but the others work better for different geometry

[modern quest]

this type of lamp

[subtle bison]

sphere

with shaping probably

[subtle bison]

server had the mod and binary module, me and vulpes also had it on our clients

[loud mural]

One day I hope it's just making an emissive filament

[loud mural]

Ahhh gotcha

[subtle bison]

they dont denoise well

[lean hatch]

Does this include flag emojis or js the cute emojis

[subtle bison]

also the API lights are also networked
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVZAUXcFaaY

[loud mural]

Yeah ik, that why I said one day, you'd need a hell of a machine to do it well

[subtle bison]

ah missed that part

[loud mural]

Ayyyy

Those trails remind be of MMod

[subtle bison]

yeah i was messing with the remix particle system

[loud mural]

Specifically the energy ball trail

[lean hatch]

Dudee

Rtx cm2013 when

[subtle bison]

hell naw

[lean hatch]

Lmao

[loud mural]

I could try that when I get back home lmao

[subtle bison]

fully modelled rtx

[loud mural]

I have CM2013 installed atm

[loud mural]

Oh god

[lean hatch]

Im the only one who enjoyed cm2013 (after a few modifications)

[modern quest]

all of them

[willow fog]

hi chat

[subtle bison]

hi

i am in your walls

[lean hatch]

Hi burrito

[loud mural]

No I've always appreciated CM honestly. Like it's so stereotypical and derivative and whatnot but he obviously put in a shit ton of work into it. Personally that's what matters to me

[willow fog]

im in ur balls

[loud mural]

halp

[subtle bison]

soundtrack choice was honestly great

[loud mural]

God I miss that old soundtrack

I wish they didn't get fucked from WB I think it was

[lean hatch]

Real shit

[subtle bison]

yea it used one of the batman movie soundtracks?

[loud mural]

Yup

He just spliced it around a bunch

But it fit so well

It's such a goofy mod with like 800 bridges

And ferns

God that guy loved ferns

[lean hatch]

And porn calenders

[loud mural]

Yeah I was about to say almost as much as he loved his uhh female characters..

I wish there was a mod to add back the old soundtrack instead of downgrading

It's a shame he was practically pushed out of the Source community just because of his stupid optional characters. You could tell that mod was a labor of love. Although the graffiti and calendars were a little much, I wish those were optional as well

[lean hatch]

True

[willow fog]

pornography

[subtle bison]

looks like bigcity improved does have the tonemap entity

ill see if i can recompile it without vrad making it take forever

ok nvm thisi will take foever

🥀

removing it ingame doesnt do anything either ughh

if you set the runtime option Orthographic is UI to off, it will inject RT at the cost of UI, so i guess i need to hunt down the texture?

ok maybe its just the shader skybox?

its drawn as an untextured drawcall so this will be a bit more involved

decompiled map in hammer shows normal 2d skybox so idk what is going on here

wow that was easy

used an addon skybox and set it to that, now its working

[willow fog]

just cooked

[subtle bison]

now to make a lua addon that detects a skybox named painted and change it to the default 2d sky one

should be simple enough

jeez this map is laggy

since hammer by default uses sky_day01_01 for sky2d, ill make that the fallback one if we detect painted

[lean hatch]

Woaw

[subtle bison]

not as pretty but good enough for a fallback

anyways, gm_bigcity_improved works now

probably other raster maps too

@loud mural https://github.com/Xenthio/garrys-mod-rtx-remixed/issues/114

I'm not able to reproduce this at all

also this
https://github.com/Xenthio/garrys-mod-rtx-remixed/issues/78

[royal vortex]

where do i find topbr? is it in a new gmod rtx install update?

[subtle bison]

yes, its in the spawnmenu

[royal vortex]

thank you.

do i get a new launcher or do i check for updates in my pre-existing launcher

also is it for th perf fork ot just the normal gmod rtx

[subtle bison]

perf fork is dead

it got merged into main

[royal vortex]

ah

so i dont have to use my perf fork install anymore?

[subtle bison]

if its been a while since you've played gmod rtx, make a new install

[royal vortex]

ah ok

[royal vortex]

but why?

[subtle bison]

download the newest one, i dont think updates work
https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXLauncher/releases/tag/nightly

[royal vortex]

will i still keep all my addons and settings for addons if i make a new install

[subtle bison]

lots has changed, upgrades can cause issues due to old cvar settings and other stuff

[royal vortex]

ah okay

i kinda forgot how to even install gmod rtx

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Xenthio/garrys-mod-rtx-remixed?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

[subtle bison]

your addons are always stored seperately, even for vanilla gmod

settings probably not though

[royal vortex]

oh so its the same still

[subtle bison]

for the current version, on quick install, select nightly for the main version

there is no formal release number at the moment

[royal vortex]

does this matter, as you ststaed that the perf is integrated now

[subtle bison]

do the one that is selected

[royal vortex]

ok i installed it

[subtle bison]

did you select nightly on the dropdown after that one?

[royal vortex]

yea

i think my game crashed

im not sure tho

does the mods thingy work in the launcher now

i remember it not working

[subtle bison]

yes

[royal vortex]

oh sick

[subtle bison]

at least since the last time i fixed it

moddb coulda done something on their end

[royal vortex]

why does the sky look different now?

[subtle bison]

whoops, forgot flatgrass and construct use the painted skybox

[royal vortex]

how do i use topbr

[subtle bison]

💀 i sent a pic like 10 mins ago

[lean hatch]

Skull emoji

[royal vortex]

Oh lmao

I enable it but I do not see a difference

[subtle bison]

read the fine print

the blue text

[lean hatch]

Is that a reference

[royal vortex]

Ah I couldn't see that oart

[subtle bison]

to wut

[lean hatch]

https://youtu.be/vvANy49Kqhw?si=CVUy2otmrl3fBzFQ to a song that goes hard

[royal vortex]

Do I still need those add-ons? Niknaks and that other addon?

[subtle bison]

no, those havent been needed in almost a year

[royal vortex]

or can i uninstall those

[royal vortex]

lmao ok

oh i dont even have them anymore

i thought i did lol

[subtle bison]

finally got the distant light to replace the light_enviornment one

this looks so much cleaner now

[royal vortex]

do i switch this to nightly or do i keep everything as it is

[subtle bison]

guh

its already on nightly

[royal vortex]

will this mean that the sun will not dissapear when going behind something?

[subtle bison]

?

[royal vortex]

in some maps the sun will disappear, like the light from it will go away

[subtle bison]

how long have u been away from gmod rtx for

[royal vortex]

since like 2025 lol

i havent played gmod in like 8 months

lol

[subtle bison]

lies ^

[royal vortex]

oh i thought it was way longer

[subtle bison]

anyways, light culling has been fixed a while since api map lights have been introduced

so like 5 months

[royal vortex]

if i wanted to change something about the install (like change this option to perf) how would i do that now that i have run the quick install?

[subtle bison]

by changing it to the version in the dropdown and clicking install

(but why would you do that other than updating the main nightly)

[royal vortex]

do you think i can take my older rtx.conf (the one i have from my perf fork) and add it to this new install? or will it not work

[subtle bison]

no

[royal vortex]

aw damn

damn my game crashes cuz of all of my mods now. ill have to seee which ones are crashing my game.

[lean hatch]

Quark bomb incident

[royal vortex]

ive been using my old perf install and my game loaded up fine with all my mods

[subtle bison]

as per usual, pls tell me which one is doing it when you find it, but most are on this list
https://github.com/Xenthio/garrys-mod-rtx-remixed/wiki/Problematic-Addons

[lean hatch]

Add this cr (/j cuz its more of a gmod issue then a remix one)

[subtle bison]

can you verify that? like concretely?

[subtle bison]

wtf is quark bomb

[lean hatch]

Its a bomb that spawns bombs that spawns bombs that spawns bombs

You get the idea

Its made to crash your game

[royal vortex]

my game loaded up with all my mods enabled, but now in my new install when it gets to starting lua it doesnt load at all anymore and crashes, ill have to see what addons are crashing my game now

[subtle bison]

the txt files in the crashes directory will usually tell you

[royal vortex]

I'll look there hold on

i have no crash text files even though my game has crashed like 5 times now

[subtle bison]

does it crash when you load into a map with workshop mods disabled

[royal vortex]

nope

loads up fine

[subtle bison]

can you export your subscribed addons to a collection

[royal vortex]

yea

ok i did something

so apparently when i loaded up my perf fork addons preset it loads up fine

let me make my collection rq hold on

see if you can use this link to see my addons

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3680984056

[subtle bison]

ye it works

[royal vortex]

nice

wtf is going on with the lights? this did not happen with the perf fork

in the normal map this little place is very dark

[subtle bison]

thats not the lights

thats culling

[royal vortex]

ah

[subtle bison]

enable performance mode if you want perf fork functionality

rubat broke one of our backface culling patches recently

and turn off map fixes

[royal vortex]

oooh okay thx

[royal vortex]

is this in the launcher or the settings in gmod in utils?

[subtle bison]

same place topbr is located

[royal vortex]

ah okay thank you

wait what the fuck

im in the nightly install

where is it

[subtle bison]

bro

its literally in your screenshot

[royal vortex]

i do not see topbr tho

[subtle bison]

its under performance

[subtle bison]

btw huge difference between crash and freeze.

It freezes on starting lua, but if you read the problematic addons sections, it tells you how to work around it...

i havent tracked down the addon (nor am i going to do it)

[royal vortex]

apparently my spawnmenu addon hid it

i can see if if i disable it

[subtle bison]

ok im going to bed now you're on your own. I need you to use your brain a bit more

[royal vortex]

lol yeah

i was fucking stupid

[lean hatch]

Gn cr

[royal vortex]

goodnight CR

[royal vortex]

woah

[loud mural]

omfg I totally forgot

I fixed this issue on this map the exact same way like two years ago

[loud mural]

That's so weird

I'm on a totally fresh install

[loud mural]

Ayyyy

gg

[weak ermine]

brain dead

[royal vortex]

yea lmao my brains slow at this time

topbr is awesome, i did all the MWB weapons

[steel lark]

glad to see that 3d sky is working again

[half viper]

its not working :(

nvm

thought it was for the directional light

[steel lark]

you have to disable the map light so that it doesn't have 2 suns

you also need of course to enable the simulated atmosphere

[steel lark]

vkbasalt works

but only the regular version the gui version crashes

[compact blaze]

vk?

[keen rivet]

I always called it autopbr lol

Ouughfhhhh why didn't I see this PEAK until now

[steel lark]

wait did multiplayer get updated?

[subtle bison]

no

[steel lark]

does the gm construct grass not have pbr?

[subtle bison]

i dont think it has any maps other than albedo

so no

[weak ermine]

i dont remember any kind of grass have any normal maps in valve's games

[subtle bison]

yuh

[lean hatch]

Guys, did you know the real world is real time path tracing, we could steal its tech cuz its very optimized

[weak ermine]

imagine if we have auto grassfy stuff

like detecting grass material and automatically adding grass from hl2 rtx

"low res trollface"

better just go outside and touch some real grass

[subtle bison]

incredible

[subtle bison]

i kinda messed with an instancer addon like a year ago

its kinda ass
#showcase message

[subtle bison]

something is marked as UI

[subtle bison]

guh

[steel lark]

ohhh

the viewmodel gets rasterized too

only when the thrusters are activated

[subtle bison]

pause the game when they become rasterized, texture should show up in UI category

[steel lark]

they're not even clickable

(the "particles")

is my gmod broken?

[subtle bison]

you have to disable the sorting thingy

[steel lark]

wdym?

[subtle bison]

turn that off

[steel lark]

ok

this is the flames effect btw

[subtle bison]

guh

[royal vortex]

how would you remove the topbr assets if they mess up?

i used it and it turned an entire map black

[keen rivet]

Delete the ~topbr mod in the remix mod folder

[royal vortex]

Thank you!

can you delete specific ones or do you delete the entire folder and start over

[keen rivet]

Uhhh if you delete specific ones you'll
Have to delete their entries from the usda file

So I just find it easier to delete everything

[brittle token]

wha-

[subtle bison]

why is it named dxgi

[brittle token]

idk, but it works. so..

[keen rivet]

thats where the injection is done

[subtle bison]

its a vk app not dx

reshade on windows injects via vulkan layer

not a dll

[keen rivet]

dxgi isn't specifically dx related

[subtle bison]

it is for window creation

[keen rivet]

its like a windows thing

[subtle bison]

but iirc remix isnt DXGI for native x64 apps

[subtle bison]

you're thinking of winmm

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3ddxgi/d3d10-graphics-programming-guide-dxgi

[keen rivet]

i think nvidia drivers force dxgi for vulkan on some apps

its an option in nvidia control panel

[subtle bison]

sounds like a hack because i dont see a valid reason for a completely native VK app

i get it with the bridge but not this

[keen rivet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[subtle bison]

hopefully today ill be back to being an nvidia user

[compact blaze]

@keen rivet i wanna ask do u still have those images for when u implemented the half life alyx tone mapper?

[turbid barn]

Have you faced crashes when replacing grass?

[half viper]

nope

[winter radish]

Back to the Remix toolkit for CR

[potent agate]

welcome back to team green

[compact blaze]

i think it looks better with the alyx tonemapper

what do they use?

[keen rivet]

Remix uses ACES

I like the HLA one too

[keen rivet]

Welcome back, traitor

[compact blaze]

i mean hla’s tonemapper

[keen rivet]

Oh

It's hable filmic

[compact blaze]

i hope someone fully adds it to remix

[keen rivet]

Same

[compact blaze]

do u have anymore images of hable filmic in remix?

[keen rivet]

uhh not that i can find easily

search my messages maybe? mightve posted some before

the individuals wire gauges are so smol

[lean hatch]

Congrats! Welcome back

The chromium injection worked youre no longer suffering from syberpsychosis

[subtle bison]

yay

so is there an external utility to do DLSS overrides, i am avoiding the nvidia app at all costs

other than nvidia inspector

anyways, time to witness RR

guh

40fps at 1440p DLAA

what the fuck

this is like putting my glasses on

[steel lark]

https://tenor.com/view/our-brains-are-shrinking-our-brains-are-gone-let's-take-a-look-observing-gif-18043853439290107939

[subtle bison]

ok wow frame gen is like

actually good

what the fuck

[half viper]

you never tried it??

its actually great

[subtle bison]

brother this is my first FG card

im doing like 4x @ 1440p DLSS Balanced with a base framerate of 72

i dont have a hud to report the generated frame rate but its over 140

motion clarity is insane

[half viper]

i miss my 4090

[subtle bison]

his sharpness is menacing

i see the water issue with RR hasnt changed at all lol

wtf i didnt know the topbr'ed gman suit was so sharp and also oily lmao

never saw this on AMD 🥀

[steel lark]

cr please fix

smooth normals

[subtle bison]

i think i said before smooth normals arent the issue for these models

its like the actual vertex structure source outputs because normals are smooth by default with source

[subtle bison]

yeah the normals already look good, so it's definitely something else

ye the normals only look fucked up in the primary direct rays, so something about how it handles normals there is fucked up

because in rasterization and in indirect debug views, its perfectly fine

[wispy crest]

I've been here for a short amount of time and CR has bought 2 high end graphics cards willy nilly

[willow fog]

Rich guy

[subtle bison]

nuh uh

[wispy crest]

ok I just checked, a few days from a year

[willow fog]

Cr stands for cat rich

[subtle bison]

im selling the 9070 to recoop the costs of this 5080

i can say all of my driver crashes are gone

im happy

[willow fog]

It's almost as if you're on a better platform. Crazy.

[wispy crest]

bro you bought the 9070 in a time of like desperation for remix

[subtle bison]

even my debug screenshots are 8x in quality 🤓

[wispy crest]

you were like fuck this 2080 or whatever

I'm buying this overnight gimmie

[subtle bison]

yeah because the value was too good to beat for an upgrade for my 2080, it just didnt age well because AMD doesnt give two fucks about vulkan or PT

i would've probably stuck with it if they did better in that department

[willow fog]

Give me hundred dolla claude

[subtle bison]

the 2080 lives on in my homelab ☺️

cuda my beloved

[lean hatch]

Cuda

[weak ermine]

now I can't say that u don't have rr

gonna miss it

😔

[subtle bison]

YAY

[subtle bison]

ok so from what i have figured out, it has to do with shadow termination on hard edges of the mesh

source does push smooth normals over FF so quite literally no need for the remix one

this is probably fixable in the runtime but getting shadow termination to work well with low poly models is gonna be a pita, i might need to make a github issue feature request or something

[weak ermine]

btw do u like

yammy shadows

and shine that works faster than disabled person?

why did u switched to amude at all

[subtle bison]

cuz i wanted to make remix work better on non nvidia hardware at the time, and i at least got XeSS 2 merged
but I also naively thought AMD would care about PT after releasing RDNA 4 but nahh that didnt happen

but i already said the biggest reason, huge upgrade from my 2080 and it didnt cost me an arm and a leg

[weak ermine]

but it cost u a rr

[subtle bison]

🥀

yeah im out of my element for this, time to make a github issue

[compact blaze]

ngl that strong broken normal effect looks weird af i think i like it, could be used to effect for intentional glitchy visuals

[keen rivet]

Make sure it's not under any major bending and is plugged in properly!

Also make your name not red

[keen rivet]

LMAO

[keen rivet]

I love my 2x framegen

[keen rivet]

Only 40? Damn guess my 4090 is still good then

But you do have 4x framegen sooo

[half viper]

why every damn time i install gmod rtx this pops up

got it to work finally

well my mouse dont work in the game except for the ui elements and all that but i cant look around

[subtle bison]

if you're using the nighly builds, you need the newest of the remix runtime and also fixes packages, if they dont match then a lot of stuff doesn't work

[half viper]

yeah game refuses to launch with any other build

[subtle bison]

it just occured to me i can use the remix toolkit again

time to mess with the new particle system

[weak ermine]

did u fixed water?

just asking

just interested

no hate

no mean

[subtle bison]

what, the weird look RR gives it?

[weak ermine]

dev_bigshit

[subtle bison]

naw topbr needs some work before i work on that still, the water shaders are backported but they dont get converted correctly

[weak ermine]

okay

so that means u gonna see this piece of shit in action

[subtle bison]

trust i want it dead

[weak ermine]

and will suffer with us

[subtle bison]

[weak ermine]

patrick dumb gif

[subtle bison]

banned

[weak ermine]

😭

patrick pee gif

[subtle bison]

this is the smoothest 20-30-ish fps i have ever felt

im on like 4x frame gen and while the input latency is ass, it actually doesnt feel too bad

[half viper]

Yeah it feels real good

[subtle bison]

it really helps with engine bottlenecked maps like csgo dust2

and thats with perf mode

its 1 frame per like minute with it off

[subtle bison]

added back distance culling for truly potato systems, its off by default

PVS will override it so if its not rendering already because of that, then it wont do anything

this is mainly for maps that have like no visibility checking at all

[subtle bison]

why the fuck does NRC just randomly break

i have to switch to restir and then back to NRC for any indirect lighting to show sometimes

[compact blaze]

its normal for nrc to do that

in my experience its very common for it to suddenly start shifting the colours of indirect lighting before mostly dissapearing

[compact blaze]

i think there is a setting that fixes that

can u take a pic of the nrc settings?

[compact blaze]

disable learn irradiance

[compact blaze]

also u dont have to switch to restir just click on the reset history checkbox

also you can disable “include direct lighting” to make the bounce lighting from things like flashlights instant at the cost of extra boiling

[subtle bison]

@loud mural

i've finally added decent bounding-box culling for the 3dsky

NRC pls

[compact blaze]

did the stuff i mentioned not fix anything?

[subtle bison]

i already set those

[compact blaze]

i mean tbh i think the buggy nrc accidentally makes the white void a lot more accurate

[subtle bison]

it also changes colors???

[compact blaze]

LIKE STRAIGHT UP NRC DOES THAT AND I DONT KNOW WHY

[subtle bison]

how is ts no different in the year absense i've since touched it

[compact blaze]

I’VE TURNED OFF LIGHTS AND THE WHOLE WORLD SHIFTS BETWEEN THE ENTIRE COLOUR SPECTRUM BEFORE GOING DARK

[subtle bison]

i've only seen this happen in the white room

i guess its like a feedback loop or some shit

[compact blaze]

its sadly very annoying and idk if its smth that will ever be fixed or helped

[subtle bison]

meh i can always use restir gi

my beloved

[compact blaze]

god the way nv refers to restir is so confusing

they have restir

then restir gi

then restir di which is also rtxdi but not the other rtxdi

but also there’s restir pt that negates all that but is also called rtxdi

but not the OTHER rtxdi

:(

[weak ermine]

thats why I fucking hate that piece of bullshit

[subtle bison]

so peeeaaaaak

i think im almost at the point of leaving the 3d sky on by default now

the slicing isnt too terribly accurate but it shouldnt touch maps that dont have overlap issues to begin with

[weak ermine]

mmm

just imagine this

[subtle bison]

[weak ermine]

damn how much night maps with cool big buildings exist

remember particle sparks from metall when u shooting at it

nah default one is

meh

[subtle bison]

?

[weak ermine]

try mysterac particles

[subtle bison]

oh yea

guh i fixed this

hold on

[weak ermine]

restart game maybe

pa du gi

did rubat somehow fuck up my stdshader backports

no particles are rendering actually now

ok so the original one by mysterac is what broke everything

this one works
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917793948

https://giphy.com/gifs/michael-jackson-comments-popcorn-pUeXcg80cO8I8

nah i more like only mysterac's

bcs if u shooting at concrete it leaves goofy spikes

[subtle bison]

[subtle bison]

can u link the specific one, i used his v2

[weak ermine]

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1798429528

oh it doesnt use the v2 lol

[weak ermine]

theres v2 exist?

im almost used that gif

[subtle bison]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1752929412

damnit

[subtle bison]

oh hey the particles work now

so i guess my game was tweaking

[weak ermine]

twerking

[subtle bison]

ehhh idk, i think these end too early

i like the mixed one better

[subtle bison]

like they actually dissapear before the streak ends

it just looks unnatural

[weak ermine]

yeah but on other hand u don't have goofy concrete spikes

[subtle bison]

mmm concrete spikes

RR tweaking out here

[lean hatch]

We love rt

Trusy

[subtle bison]

seems to be the glass

[steel lark]

did you release the cloud atmosphere update?

[steel lark]

i mean it's making it refract a bit instead of just being transparent

[subtle bison]

no its not done

[subtle bison]

the boiliing

[steel lark]

ik

[loud mural]

Make sure it's not marked as a water texture

That boiling like that happens when anything is marked as a water texture with RR on

[loud mural]

Ayyy!!!

Is that in nightly yet?

[subtle bison]

yuh

[potent agate]

I played yesterday morning and half the objects would only render if I was like right next to them lol

[subtle bison]

you probably still have lithium installed

[potent agate]

and some other props just never appeared

[subtle bison]

or some FPS saver

[potent agate]

ah

Yeah that's why

I'll try again later tonight

[compact blaze]

the minecraft perf mod?

[subtle bison]

@willow fog did you ever get that fixed version of that cod map

now that i have proper toolkit access i would like to port it ☺️

[willow fog]

I'll send later

[subtle bison]

ah the beauty of nvidia drivers, same exact performance with linux and windows ☺️

even FG works

[weak ermine]

bruh

AMubullshiD

[compact blaze]

r u able to use the toolkit in linux thru wine/proton?

[subtle bison]

nah im not even gonna try

im probably gonna stick to the blender toolkit for most things still anyway, i just need the nvidia one for remix logic and particles

[subtle bison]

[split raft]

I mean, its not wrong lmao

[smoky otter]

the legend replied holyy

[onyx ridge]

ai is good if you already know half of what you're doing

let it assist you instead of doing things for you

[subtle bison]

@loud mural from now on when you make a github issue in a map, can you send the output of getpos in the issue description

its a pita to find some of these spots lmao

btw i have moved detail texture hiding to auto-categorization and it all happens in C++, no more lua material replacement bullshit

also fixed a lot of auto-categorization regressions as well

no more water tagged stuff

displacement textures finally get tagged correctly too

[steel lark]

will you fix water and glass?

please cr i need this

[subtle bison]

bro im gonna hurt you

🙂

[subtle bison]

it will get fixed when i get to it, i have 82 github issues and im fixing what i can each day

i do this in my personal time so uh yeah

[subtle bison]

wait, what was wrong with glass

[steel lark]

hold up test the regular glass dome againts the one with metal frames on it

they use the same material but they look nothing like eachother (i think it's cause of the normals on the model?)

[subtle bison]

like this?

metal one looks like a magnifier

its weird because they share the same material?

so yeah its probably the vertex normals or how thick the actual glass is

which i guess makes it physically accurate lol

[onyx ridge]

wait isn't it like

the glass material isn't set to thin

on the left dome it works fine because it's physically thick

on the right one the glass portion is just a single surface

[subtle bison]

are we sure the one on the right isnt thicker?

i dont see why else it would be magnifying stuff that much

[steel lark]

wait wait

look inside the metal dome

isn't it black?

like very dark

[subtle bison]

its dark but not black, but thats just because of refraction

so still physically accurate, but still looks off

[steel lark]

does using "gmod_cleanup" cause errors for you?

[subtle bison]

it used to, i fixed it 2 days ago

[steel lark]

🔥

[subtle bison]

it wont rebuild chunks either anymore

[steel lark]

nice

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Xenthio/garrys-mod-rtx-remixed/commit/87718664f5e5988c59c5e936f42bd27094720888

[onyx ridge]

if the glass isn't set to be thin (or whatever the setting was?) and there's no exit face it'll trace as glass until it hits something

[subtle bison]

ye but then it breaks refraction 🥀

ph

oh i read that backward

[onyx ridge]

so it's effectively acting as if the entire dome is solid glass

imean ya unless you make something that can somehow pick up on if glass is thin or not and apply different material properties iunno

[subtle bison]

[onyx ridge]

since if you just set the glass to be thin then you don't get as nice visuals on glass that isn't thin (like the left dome)

[onyx ridge]

[subtle bison]

omg no way

[onyx ridge]

i also have :d_: but it doesn't work on mobile for whatever reason

[subtle bison]

csgo dust2 with atmos sky 🤩

"wow this place is so pretty, we should put a walmart here"

[subtle bison]

@livid rapids why is akiyama oiled up

whoops fixed his hands

[livid rapids]

So close

you should do dragon engine models since they have pbr!! metallics would look a bit strange I think

[subtle bison]

oh heck yes

daigo is on a higher plane of existence

[loud mural]

oops

My bad

[loud mural]

Hellll yeahhhh

[subtle bison]

2nd one looks better imo because his fuckin eyes work

these are 2 different addons

the 1st one is a pack of multiple dragon engine ones but they are all sorts of fucked

none of their eyes open lol

ryugi looks sorta decent

[livid rapids]

oh yeah those models don't follow any sort of pseudopbr

they're their own ass demons

there's some cursed ass stuff and some 200iq things in there

[livid rapids]

there's a model there that uses WRINKLE MAPS

[subtle bison]

which parts are 200iq

[subtle bison]

guh

[livid rapids]

I literally didn't know wrinkle maps were a thing in source until seeing that

guess they must be hard to make and compile

[subtle bison]

by any chance is it these

[livid rapids]

also a cool hack they do to use detail bumpmaps is just have a duplicated mesh covering the original one, and texturing it with the bumpmap + phong

[livid rapids]

no it was higashi

and only on the face

[livid rapids]

I also saw this on a csgo model alex's maps uses

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3245626404

It's a white tarp

[subtle bison]

yea i've seen that

it does some weird shit remix hates

its not normals

its something like the hl2 characters where the shadow terminator just shits itself
