Sonic Adventure DX ( 2003 Version )

[royal ridge]

I've used the molex to the 8pin adapter

But it burned out

[subtle edge]

Why tf would you use a molex to 8pin adapter

[royal ridge]

Because I have an old power supply

[subtle edge]

What RTX GPU did you have

[royal ridge]

I live in a bad country bro

[royal ridge]

Some Chinese 3080

[subtle edge]

Damn

I got an RTX 3060 ti or smth

Zoltron, do you know how to get this running?

[livid geyser]

Even a bootleg 3080 would be useful

[royal ridge]

Yeah it is

[subtle edge]

I'm gonna buy a 4090 after I get my car

Or wait till next gen

[livid geyser]

As long as it's a genuine dye that isn't lying the worst you'd get is a bad batch of silicone that isn't as perfectly efficient

[livid geyser]

I'd wait the 40 super series is already out

[royal ridge]

But I was forced to pair it with an i5 3570

[subtle edge]

4080 super is out isn't it

?

[livid geyser]

LOL WUT

[subtle edge]

Are they making more?

[livid geyser]

Awesome

[subtle edge]

200% Bottleneck haha

[royal ridge]

Yeah exactly

[livid geyser]

I think there's a 4080S idk

[royal ridge]

Can't afford more

[subtle edge]

You reckon a 4090 would bottleneck with a i7 13700kf?

prob

[royal ridge]

Ok I gotta go, bye 🫶🏻

[subtle edge]

See ya

[livid geyser]

I'm still on a Z370 board using the best CPU I can even put on it (9900K)

[subtle edge]

Still a decent CPU

[livid geyser]

It's super good I don't think I've ever had it majorly chug

[subtle edge]

What GPOU?

GPU*

[livid geyser]

2060S currently

[subtle edge]

Nice

[livid geyser]

Bootleg that was on sale and I was in a pinch

[subtle edge]

Can 2060S use RTX remix?

[livid geyser]

Wish I at least got a 3060S or something

[subtle edge]

3060 ti

I have that

[livid geyser]

Any card capable of ray tracing can run Remix

[subtle edge]

Have you been able to get this SA1 ver running?

[livid geyser]

Even the e-waste 3050 can do it

[livid geyser]

Haven't ever tried the Remix toolkit yet only the Portal games

[subtle edge]

Ah

So, does anyone in here actually know how to get this running???

[fickle bane]

https://sadxmodinstaller.unreliable.network/ you need to use the SADX mod installer to "downgrade" your steam version to the 2003 version. no one makes mods for the base steam version.

sadx 2003 works with rtx remix, even when modded, but you need to disable lantern engine.

i haven't looked into it too much, but i'm fairly sure lantern engine uses shaders, which interferes with remix. even if it didn't, it's purely a lighting mod... which would be irrelevant when using remix

[subtle edge]

I can't even get RTX remix to work with HL2

So

I think stuff might be wrong with my RTX remix stuff

Captures don't work at all

Would I be able to get some help with all this RTX remix stuff

If I'm not being a pain, that is

[fickle bane]

i'm probably not the guy to ask, though you can go to #1095455547748257862 for general help or https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1103495588374401115 for specific help with hl2

[subtle edge]

I just mean RTX remix in general

You have it set up, right?

No game I go into lets me capture anything

[fickle bane]

so remix itself is working in these games, you just can't take captures?

[subtle edge]

Ye

I'll try get SA1 running

And with RTX remix

And see if I can capture

But nothing I go into lets me capture

[subtle edge]

So, just so I am correct, where am I meant to download the stuff to put into the folders

From the file I run and it downloads them for me? Or from the RTX Remix git hub

[subtle edge]

Anything I need to do while downloading SADX mod installer?

?

[fickle bane]

guide mode

[subtle edge]

yep

And then?

Don't install lantern engine?

[fickle bane]

✅

[subtle edge]

Aight

And yes to all the rest?

[fickle bane]

it is up to preference

[subtle edge]

Aight

It's downloading

[fickle bane]

good, but i can't stay and help. it's 4am here

good luck

[subtle edge]

OH okay

Uh

Shit

[subtle edge]

Does anyone know if with this I still need DX Wrapper?

You know what

I'm just gonna wait

If anyone who was able to get it to work sees this, can I ask the incredibly annoying question of going step by step through this with me?

[copper copper]

you can just get the conversion mod that converts the steam version to the original. thats the best way imo

oh someone already linked it, sorry

[subtle edge]

Yeh, but how do I use dx wrapper

[subtle edge]

Done that already. How do I use dx wrapper?

Do I still need to use it?

Cause at the moment, all that happens on start up is a white screen

[copper copper]

i think you just drag the d3d8.dll into the game's root folder

[subtle edge]

That's all?

Rlly?

Wow

[subtle edge]

So, overwrite the original file, or keep it?

[copper copper]

i usually just rename the original dlls to .dll_dis

[subtle edge]

So both of these?

Are there supposed to be 2???

[copper copper]

the d3d8.dll is the original one the game uses. what the dxwrapper version does is translate the dx8 calls to dx9 calls, which will then go through the d3d9.dll. So, if you have both the dxwraper d3d8 and the rtx remix d3d9, then everything goes through remix

[subtle edge]

Okay, so I rename it to d3d8.dil_dis

Then add d3d8 from dxwrapper

Then it should start?

[copper copper]

yes

[subtle edge]

Okay, trying it now

Starting it

It just didn't run haha

Oh

Hold on

Lemme use Mod launcher

[subtle edge]

?

Do I have to add all the base files?

of DXWrapper?

[copper copper]

oh probably

sorry, its been a while since ive done this

[subtle edge]

I've never done this 😃

[copper copper]

i think dxwrapper has a readme or a guide or something that says what you need

[subtle edge]

This is all i got

[copper copper]

copy them all i guess

[subtle edge]

Even stub file?

[copper copper]

one sec imma look for instructions

https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

[subtle edge]

Is notepad a good enough text editor? 😅

[copper copper]

yes

[subtle edge]

Okay, how do I tell which settings to change

?

change that to a 1?

[copper copper]

yes

[subtle edge]

Should be all I need to do

All these other ones I don't understand

Well

Some of them I do

But I don't wanna mess with it

White screen lol

These are all the files

[subtle edge]

I'm so confused 😭

[copper copper]

uhh its entirely possible that you're supposed to use the other wrapper for this

[subtle edge]

There's another wrapper?

[copper copper]

yeah, https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9 but i just took a look and dxwrapper uses that internally so it should work fine

[subtle edge]

So, what am I doing wrong

??

I added the files

I got the original portal RTX files to use

Added that DXWrapper thing

Added SADX Mod loader

Removed lantern engine

[copper copper]

i have no idea tbh

gonna need someone more familiar with this game in particular to chime in

[subtle edge]

Spoon Scribble seemed to know what they're doing

Like

SA1 wise

Don't mean to say you don't know what your doing, sorry

[copper copper]

here, try just using this

Normally i would suggest not using random dlls from strangers but i promise you this is what worked for me

[subtle edge]

Aight

Holy shit you genius

It's a strobey mess

And my mouse doesn't work

But it starts!!!

So that's good

[copper copper]

strobey mess makes it sound like it doesnt work right then lol

[fickle bane]

why are you using portal rtx files?

[subtle edge]

The original post said so

Should I not be ?

[fickle bane]

the original post was from several months ago

[subtle edge]

What version can I use now?

[fickle bane]

latest

[subtle edge]

0.4.1?

[fickle bane]

yes

[subtle edge]

Aight

Oh

That works a bit better lol

alt x won't work

wait

nvm

What do I set model textures around me to?

[subtle edge]

What do I set for the textures on the ground and stuff

?

[fickle bane]

i can't walk you through every single step

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/wiki/Runtime-User-Guide

[subtle edge]

Alll g

Thanks bro

Game still refuses to capture 😭

What's wrong with my rtx remix

Got it working!

How'd you guys make all the enhanced glass and stuff?

[subtle edge]

Dunno how, but I'm gonn try to learn how to change the textures and add those maps or whatever to make it look good

[livid geyser]

https://youtu.be/S3vSBoCAucA

[subtle edge]

Uh, is this supposed to happen?

[royal ridge]

no lol but it's interesting at least

[subtle edge]

How am I meant to open these texture files???

I have GIMP

I also have photoshop

bruh

@copper copper

Apologies for the ping, but would you know why photoshop or GIMP won't open the DDS files?

[copper copper]

You have to convert them to png first

they dont natively support dds

[subtle edge]

I see

Is there online stuff for that

Oh

es

Yes

Yes there is

[subtle edge]

Appreciate it, and sorry for the ping

[copper copper]

all good

[livid geyser]

lighting ain't even touched and it already looks nice

definitely one of the best out-of-the-box bases to start with in terms of a Remix project

I'm surprised there aren't more Sonic fans here trying to see if this or other games from the time work and to make good assets for it

[subtle edge]

I'm literally just chucking shit at it, and hoping it works

I set the water to translucent

And it looks nice... but off.

It needs those animated lines

[livid geyser]

probably just needs asset replacement

[subtle edge]

Yeah, I'm not skilled enough to make something for it

[livid geyser]

the original game's water could also be rendered oddly so who knows if that's able to be preserved

[livid geyser]

you could try a placeholder model to see what happens

or even just the textures for a PBR material to see if that's all you need for it to look like the original

[livid geyser]

those "reflection" models will def have to be removed

[subtle edge]

Textures for PBR material?

[livid geyser]

https://youtu.be/P6ljqEiGrWs

you probably don't even have to do textures try messing with the material numberz

[subtle edge]

Oh, I've been replacing textures here and there

Just upscaling the og ones

Waterfalls don't move for some reason

[livid geyser]

that water almost looks like the shitty ass clouds in STW

I love it

[subtle edge]

Fixed it

I just changed it to thin walled

oOP

Uh

Might not of =fixed it

[copper copper]

I don't think any other games work unfortunately

[void egret]

Heroes seems like it works and would actually be a better candidate for a full scale RTX Remix project than SADX

Idk if the Riders PC port works but I can't imagine that being much fun to sort out or running really well.

Unless we somehow recover lost / cancelled PC ports of Shadow and 06 that's basically any Sonic game that's potentially compatible

[near widget]

06 might not work cause it would be too new

[copper copper]

It doesn't. It's not compatible with dxvk

Which in turn means it's not compatible with remix

[subtle edge]

Original 06 didn't even have any auto save. I wouldn't put it past them to use something outdated

[subtle edge]

SADX is a game a lot more people enjoy than heroes

[delicate lance]

Disappointed SA2 apparently doesn't work (yet). Would love to have seen that.

[copper copper]

Honesty it probably never will given the way it appears to be rendering

The good news is, people have ported some of the SA2 levels to SADX

#showcase message

[near widget]

But sadly they can't port the better chao garden (the real game honestly)

[void egret]

They're the same Chao Garden systems

The only differences are different Chao Races, no Chao Karate, no Chao Kindergarten / Doctor and the Chao Gardens themselves.

And it would actually probably be within someone's capabilities to port those if they were interested

[rotund mantle]

I can’t wait to see more SADX with ray-traced lighting, shadows and pbr materials
I used to love this game

[gaunt dust]

Why don't you love it anymore?
Also same.

[fickle bane]

progress is going slow as i'm trying not to burn out, but i'm currently working on the hotel interior. modeling that damn spiral staircase...

[gaunt dust]

Want some help?

[fickle bane]

i greatly appreciate the offer, and i will want help in the future :]

my own personal goal is to get this one area done by myself, as a blueprint for how i want everything else to look

[cinder river]

hey I've been trying to load up SADX but I keep getting a white blank screen, any idea how I can fix this?

[cinder river]

trying to add in the latest dvxk and bridge files to the game gives me "The Bridge server process has unexpectedly exited, closing the bridge client and host application."

[fickle bane]

i've been working on the hotel interior for a bit longer than i'd like to admit

things are still rough atm, but i'll be cleaning the models up soon and then unwrapping to prepare for textures

[fickle bane]

more textures! pretty happy with these. you can also kinda see the new doors i imported, though it's missing a texture for now. almost done with the interior modeling... got a bit antsy and started texturing a bit of it. progress is going smoothly though!

[livid geyser]

preddy

[subtle edge]

Looks amazing!

Good work bro

[fickle bane]

elevator's done now :]

[fickle bane]

almost ready to drop all this ingame. almost.

[fickle bane]

it is, indeed, ingame now. (sorry for the double-post lol)

this has been some good progress, think i'm gonna take a small break now. pretty satisfied atm

[delicate lance]

Looks incredible!

[fickle bane]

ray reconstruction really brings everything together. not only is performance better (on my 3080 ti, i went from around 35fps on DLSS performance to around 50), the lighting is much more stable, even in motion, and especially on the rings!

i was really worried that the rings might not ever look good, because of their rough reflections and constant motion (two things that the denoiser despises)

but with RR? wow.

like. nearly perfect. no complaints.

[void egret]

Nice!

[fickle bane]

kinda tiny update, reimported the exterior to fix a few UV issues and modeling bugs, added lights to the pool, and imported a (placeholder) palm tree i made. the mesh and textures are temporary.. hopefully.
god, trees are hard to make

this isn't new or anything. i just like this guy.

genuinely not sure what i'm gonna do for the npcs. i don't even think cpu skinned replacements would save them. they're so strange.

[warm notch]

Hey there. Feel free to grab the ones I made for U2, if you'd like #showcase message
They're in gameReadyAssets/03_meshes/04_global/01_vegetation/, there are "Zahidi" Date Palms and Mexican Fan Palms
https://github.com/Ekozmaster/NFSU2-RTX-Remix/tree/main/rtx-remix/mods/gameReadyAssets/03_meshes/04_global/01_vegetation

[fickle bane]

you are a life saver.

[warm notch]

Here are some pics for the mexican fan palm variation #showcase message

[warm notch]

For this, you could try modding the base game with a new char and adding new materials through remix, if it is possible. Otherwise, best you can do is materials

[fickle bane]

yeahh, i'll try base game modding when the time comes

i'll try those palm trees when i next get the chance, thank you so much

[livid geyser]

@fickle bane your lighting work is immaculate so far, don't be afraid to use others' free/with permission assets to save time and focus your skills on more unique aspects of the game <3

if you're ever thinking about having a modernised sound pack to go with the graphics (an aspect of many Remix projects that seem to be neglected as the more tame and/or lower quality sounds of older games feel out of place to me) that's something I can certainly help with

[verbal meteor]

seems like the game needs mesh replacement because it has all the nice materials but the geometry is still very much a dreamcast game

[heady token]

he has been replacing the meshes

[heady token]

this:

[verbal meteor]

Ah I missed it, i was more talking about common game elements like the powerup meshes

the replaced meshes look amazing btw

Like this part

[copper aspen]

this is looking insane

[fickle bane]

the button is replaced, it's just.. not that great ingame :') it was the first asset i made for the project, maybe it's due for a remake

[verbal meteor]

oh i was under the impression, that it's supposed to be round but it's a dreamcast game so you know how it is

[fickle bane]

that's fair! i'm relatively new to remastering assets. it's this balancing act of "if sonic team weren't restricted by hardware, how would this asset look?" and "what parts of this asset are intentional design choices and what parts are for optimization purposes?" with a small sprinkle of a subjective "does this look good?". i try to steer away from big shape changes, instead going with bevels and such. not super sure if it's the "correct" way to go about things. iunno, just kinda winging it haha

[verbal meteor]

Yeah, it looks good, but I'd say it sorta looks like when Final Fantasy 7 Remake/Rebirth emulates the old PS1 Polygon style if that makes sense. Like the model is not low poly but the shape is.

[warm notch]

One idea is looking at newer titles of the franchise and see what they went for. We are facing this with remastering the 350z in U2 and it is easier to look at newer nfs games for a lot of stuff

[verbal meteor]

Yeah, I didn't want to suggest that because games have different art directions and intentions, even Sonic fans like to seperate Dreamcast sonic from Modern Modern Sonic

[fickle bane]

if this were sa2 i'd be living luxuriously. a majority of the objects in sa2 are the same as the ones we have to this day. it's just sa1 that has these object designs, they're like a mix between saturn-era and dreamcast-era

[flint pewter]

How's the luck with the source textures?

[verbal meteor]

how much of it is documented anyways

[flint pewter]

A lot tbh

[verbal meteor]

Any place it's centralized?

[flint pewter]

right here

[verbal meteor]

thanks but i mean more documented like a wiki

[fickle bane]

https://github.com/PrincessMtH/sonic-adventure-textures/wiki

[verbal meteor]

Thanks

[fickle bane]

i swear i'm still taking a break.. all i've done is created and replaced the evening skybox, along with adding lighting to the hotel rooms :]

[high void]

Hi, I've been having this issue with SADX where my game runs fine one moment, then stutters to low FPS as i go through a level. I've looked through all levels and it sometimes appears to be when game loading chunks of the geometry. is there any way to help with this? ive tried Anti-Culling Objects on and off but doesn't seems to make a difference?

also some random geometry polygons are just missing?

[high void]

I'm using shader model 3 if that means anything

[copper copper]

You should be using shader model 0

[heady token]

do you think that this mod for sadx could make character hashes stable enough to apply a new model and pbr textures

https://github.com/X-Hax/SADXWeightedCharacters

https://shc.zone/entries/expo2023/967

[fickle bane]

i've tried, sadly the hashes are still unstable, since this doesn't implement GPU skinning

[heady token]

ah ok

[fickle bane]

it will certainly make model mods a lot easier though

i can add character models through this mod, and then replace their materials through remix

[heady token]

oh you dont need stable hashes to replace textures?

[fickle bane]

no, only for mesh replacement afaik

[void egret]

Textures would be their own I'd think

[fiery lion]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STkvSymEinQ

[void egret]

D: That's not RTX Remix in Sonic Adventure DX ( 2003 Version )

[fiery lion]

I forgot to press enter with what I sent with it

If it doesn't look like that when it's finished, it wasn't worth the hassle

But I'm also joking, obviously there will be certain limitations

And it also doesn't look that great. more could prob be done with RTX

[carmine hinge]

I've got BetterSA installed/remix/ and disabled shaders in the dxvk.conf, and turned off lantern - but I'm crashing on the sega intro screen. Any other settings to tweak to get it running?

I'm using the new remix's d3d8to9 as the wrapper

Wanna give this game a try

[fickle bane]

been losing a lot of motivation.. trying to get back to working on this though.
just made a rug material from scratch, was at first basing it off the original texture, then kinda went with my own thing with the pattern. i think the rug design showing chao makes sense, since this hotel houses a chao garden.

also noticing how the lack of artificial drop-shadow exposes that these guys were never touching the ground, lol

once i finish this hotel, i'm not sure where to go next... either emerald coast or the rest of station square. both will have their own unique challenges. EC will be a lot of organic environment modeling and foliage, while station square will be a lot of hard-surface environment modeling. eugh. we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

speaking of bridge... it would be really nice to integrate remix more directly into the game, as a native mod. certainly possible, just way out of my expertise, though it would win over a lot of modders and give them a bit more of a positive outlook on the project.

[fickle bane]

oh, another thing, i didn't like how flat and overall dark the colors looked. i'm not the biggest fan of remix's color management options (they're seriously lacking. no LUTs, no ocio, hard-coded ACES!?!?), but i managed to make do with what's there.

before vs after

[void egret]

Nice

And yeah, very weird there's no luts since that feels like such a free picture quality boost when managed correctly

[void egret]

Also don't let other people's works discourage you. People just haven't seen yours yet.

[fiery lion]

Are you the one working on that current released RTX mod?

https://gamebanana.com/wips/84764

[fickle bane]

ah, no, that's someone else's project. mine is still unreleased and unnamed

[fiery lion]

Ok

Well anyway

As I said before

I'm open to maybe helping here and there

But I'd need you to show me kinda like step by step to set it up

Make a video or show me in a call

I'm good at modeling and used to mod SADX when I was 12

Before all the easy importing tools were a thing

[fickle bane]

awesome. i do want help in the future, as soon as i'm done with this vertical slice 😅

i know i said that a while ago, i just work slowly haha

[fiery lion]

I mean, I'm willing to help you even with the vertical slice

I got the time now, I might not have it then

[fiery lion]

Btw, if it's possible to integrate ReShade with RTX Remix, you can use LUTs with that

Or maybe with the Nvidia filters, you can download a shader that will load LUTs of your choosing

[fickle bane]

sorry, i'm just really particular with things.. i'm also using this project to practice and improve my modeling and texturing skills

[fickle bane]

i haven't tried reshade + remix yet, but that's certainly possible.. though it doesn't give me the control that i want. ideally, i'd like different LUTs (and different post processing) for different areas, perhaps controlled by the game camera entering/exiting different post-process volumes, like in modern game engines. it'd require remix api integration and code modding, but if remix simply had LUT support in the first place, i think it could be doable.

[fiery lion]

I can teach you those things easily. I literally teach elementary - high school students how to do 3D

[near widget]

Hey is that a more open offer or just for spoon?

[fiery lion]

Just for spoon since I'm also trying to be a part of the project potentially, but for the right price I can make it open.

[near widget]

How much?

[near widget]

actually you should pm me about this stuff

[subtle edge]

How would I fix this stupid skybox issue

[subtle edge]

Seems like some of the og textures that are turned into DDS textures don't like it

GIMP doesn't wanna open it

And PFRify doesn't like it either

[cinder river]

hey so the mario mod for SADX just came out, do you guys have any advice on how I could make mario potentially look normal?

not sure what I could do to fix this

[slim zephyr]

The shading from SM64 looks to be also ported over to the character model, meaning it's shaded differently to anything else in the entire game, so remix probably isn't very happy with that, might not be possible, but I'll try it myself later

[cinder river]

mario looks like this when you enable terrain texture

[near widget]

you shame ninja mario!

[flint pewter]

i wonder if dario's model will work

https://youtu.be/pih_k_HsygU?si=zjxcXSjyBUKWkw6K

[slim zephyr]

Probably has nothing to do with the model itself, just the shading

[flint pewter]

I mean with the mats sorry por choice of words

[slim zephyr]

Possibly

Ive tried everything short of capturing, and no luck

[fiery lion]

What you did to the default Sonic's textures you'd need to do to with this mod's textures since they're not the same images and have totally different information

[errant viper]

tried the rtx mod on gamebanana,

my switch pro controller odesnt work

doesnt*

and also it

forces me into freecam

[errant viper]

i forgot to disable lantern engine

[slim zephyr]

👍

[slim zephyr]

Did that also fix the input issue?

[errant viper]

not sure but i did turn off steam input and it was working well

[errant viper]

the mod works

but

the water is

spazzing out

[lapis inlet]

I am using SADX mod installer for the dreamcast convertion. is that reccommended?

[slim zephyr]

DC Conversion is not strictly necessary, but yes

I don't believe it works with the base steam version *

It appears it does, but probably not reccomended due to lack of mod support

[lapis inlet]

Also when after I exited this mod windows restarted

and using the arrow keys to move sonic moved the RTX-Remix camera]

[slim zephyr]

That's quite strange, if it keeps happening then make an issue on the github

[lapis inlet]

Understood.

[slim zephyr]

You probably enabled freecam in dev settings

[lapis inlet]

How do I disable freecam in rtx-remix?

[slim zephyr]

Alt+x > Developer menu > Developer settings > Debug (IIRC)

[lapis inlet]

I disabled it in rtx.conf

Also does this need d3d8to9 enabled in the SA mod manager?

[slim zephyr]

Yes

[lapis inlet]

Understood!

[lapis inlet]

Is this compatible with the latest RTX runtime (not the bundled one?)

[lapis inlet]

I can't wait till this mods 100% complete

[slim zephyr]

Should be

[lapis inlet]

How do I use the latest artifacts from the remix-runtime downloader?

[lapis inlet]

Never mind got it to work!

[honest needle]

why's it suddenly a horror game lmao

also I just got into sa1 after years of not touching it with a 10 foot pole and have been playing the dx pc version with a dreamcast conversion mod and loving it but I tried using rtx remix and I noticed it doesn't play nicely with the lantern lighting mod

any idea on how to fix it? I'd like to have a blend of lantern lighting and raytracing

also would like to see something that restores the look of the saturn games too

[slim zephyr]

No way of fixing it, even if you could, it wouldn't change anything anyway

[lapis inlet]

I love the people who worked on this game did. The games visuals look like if sega made a RT remaster (even though this mod doesn't use HD models nor textures) I'm sad the steam version which is the version that is the only version needed to get this mod to work (unless you have the 2003 cd/DVD) isn't available in some countries anymore

I've straight up never bought the Steam version just because if I did I would be replacing it with similar files to the old one anyways, even back then I was using the European exe file because it was nocd lol

now the mod loader takes care of that part

GHASP filthy pirate!

I have been working on the steam version not knowing there was work done on this version. As I am not knowledgeable on all of this X)... Is there a point in continuing this ? (despite the learning / fun factor) Since all of the screenshots I see here a beautiful (and what I do is not, like I can't get pretty looking water XD)

[slim zephyr]

All of the projects I've seen, and the one we are working on use the Dreamcast conversion mod, which changes the games textures and some models completely to look more like the original Dreamcast release, so a steam version would not necessarily be useless as I don't think anybody has done it yet

[void egret]

the Steam version in particular has no modding support since any "mods" for it start by replacing it with the original PC version.

While you can do your own project in Steam, it's not ideal since you miss out on things that have been solved for ages like true Widescreen support and other general community improvements

Thanks for the details ! I wasn't aware that the "mods" actually replace the game

Does dxwrapper work with the game banana "Sonic Adventure RTX" mod? it uses an older version of RTX remix which I always update to 1.0.0 when installed

[lapis inlet]

It doesn't work

Also D3D8TO9 with RTX-REMIX doesn't work on my 2060 laptop but works on my dad's 4070 ti SUPER fine

I'm having issue where when opening the controller config menu it would boot it but it would treat the app as if it was the game itself (I may need to temp delete the dxvk-remix files to solve it maybe)

[lapis inlet]

Deleting d3d9.dll fixed the controller menu. Restoring it afterwards to launch the mod works!

Hello!

Reading the chat history I believe it is a little unrelated, but I was trying to run SA RTX Legacy mod, and I'm running into this problem where some textures are swapped, sonic model is glitchy and things are all around weird...

I don't know where else to ask, but I believe someone here might have an answer for the issue i'm facing, sorry for the ping but I see @slim zephyr is in here

Deleting the .trex folder in the main /Sonic Adventure DX/ fixes this

[copper hull]

i did try removing .trex before on main folder based on some comment, but this issue still persists...

Tried also in 2003 ver and Steam version and it is the same for both

The first time I installed the mod I had .trex but after removing it was the same

[slim zephyr]

Just checked, ive been running on an older Dreamcast conversion version, after updating im able to reproduce this issue. If you can find an older version of the mod online i would recommended that while i come up with a more permanent solution. After much testing when this "bug" initially appeared, it does seem to be an intentional "bug" created by Dreamcast Conversion if the RTX mod is running

[copper hull]

Thank you so much for the input... I'll go after an older version

[copper hull]

It is working now with 6077

Thank you for the help, and sorry for the nuisance

[slim zephyr]

I have found a workaround which will be added in the next update so this should never happen again
