Call of Duty: World at War

[umbral goblet]

I'm dumb

Used a no-no word and the server blocked it 💀

I'd say it's a night and day difference but I appear to have made them the same 💀

Night sky during the day is... odd

[night surge]

Lower sky brightness and the distant light 😜

I guess performance is much better now?

[umbral goblet]

Probably will be when I turn off motion blur 🤮

[umbral goblet]

Definitely looks a lot better, transparency isn't fucked now, but it's about the same ngl

Well, actually no it's staying above 30 so

Yeah bit better

Why they decided to put two decals in the same fucking spot I do not know

You got grime and the RETURN THROUGH AETHER message on top of it

Why

[umbral goblet]

Silly question, where do I find these?

I cannot for the life of me figure out where the fuck they are

[night surge]

Game setup tab. Second tree node under lighting or something like that

[umbral goblet]

Got the sky brightness down, 0.1 works fine for Der Riese

But the lighting itself still bright as fuck

[night surge]

It’s one node below that. 3 floats next to each other

[umbral goblet]

One of these?

This is what I'm seeing rn if that helps

[night surge]

Fallback light radiance

Set it to 0.1

[umbral goblet]

It's darker but it's still too bright, this is strange

I think I took too much LSD

[silver light]

Ok! Now it's fully working

[night surge]

🙏

[silver light]

The work you have done is really amazing!

[night surge]

fixed by using a few hooks and logic to sort out any duplicates

[night surge]

5120x1440 - dlss performance - 22 fps 😂

[umbral goblet]

W I D E

[south raven]

W I D E

[supple glade]

What GPU is that being brought to its knees?

[daring folio]

Interesting...

I can hear the main menu music playing in game.

[umbral goblet]

What the fuck happened to yours lmao

[daring folio]

No clue lol

[umbral goblet]

WHY is bro eating charcoal?

[daring folio]

https://tenor.com/view/john-fross-johnny-sins-barbvengers-barbvengerz-gif-22462657

[daring folio]

How are you getting 31 fps on DR?

My fps is shit unless it's nacht.

Maybe my settings are bad?

[umbral goblet]

Maybe, running on Medium/High textures and such with filtering set to bi-linear and no anisotripic filtering

[sharp sparrow]

see when i first loaded nacht the lighting looked exactly like that and now whenever I load it up again it looks like this

[night surge]

thats because the rtx.conf you are using has fallback lighting that you need to change yourself to suit your needs (until you start to actually create a remix mod with the toolkit)

[sharp sparrow]

along with that the waw menu wont event pop up when i press esc either so im not sure if that also had something to do with that

[night surge]

mh do you actually use the rtx.conf that came with the actions build on github?

[sharp sparrow]

yes

[night surge]

mhh odd because I'm sure I've hid these fake light shaft thingys

[sharp sparrow]

lemme try readding it to my waw root

alr that seemed to fix the problem

[night surge]

🙏

[sharp sparrow]

now im having ANOTHER weird issue. nacht and verruckt work fine but when i load up der riese or shi no numa theres game audio but just a black screen

[golden wyvern]

It breaks sometimes

[night surge]

mhh never happened to me

[sharp sparrow]

any recommendations to get those maps working?

[golden wyvern]

Restart the game usually.

[sharp sparrow]

huh i just switched back into the game and now it loaded in

i guess I have to wait for it to fully load? weird

[sharp sparrow]

Oooo that looking good so far 👀

[sharp sparrow]

also just found out it fixes itself whenever I view my desktop via windows key and switch back into game. might be a resolution issue?

[night surge]

Are you using fullscreen? If so go windowed mode by setting r_fullscreen to 0

Then use the borderless console command to remove window borders

If you want borderless fullscreen

[quasi flicker]

Hi, just saw your work on WAW, seems pretty insane, any tips on why does i get an unhandled exception while launching it with T4-RTX ?

[daring folio]

How would you do that?

[daring folio]

Also, woah!

How can I get my game to look like that?

[night surge]

Retail or steam game?

[night surge]

Open the console and type borderless

[quasi flicker]

Retail, box version @night surge is it for this one that we need to patch it ?

[quasi flicker]

Also, don't know if it could be useful for texture, model or anything, but i have a TT-33 from 1942 at home

[silver light]

I also have the retail version and it works fine, do you have installed last patch?

[quasi flicker]

Yup, 1.7

also what is even more strange, is that codwawMP launch fine, at least in the menus

[silver light]

Forgot to say, worked with remix 0.3 , I haven’t tried 0.4 yet

[quasi flicker]

but for the SP, it launch with the waw logo, and then Unhandled exception in the console

yeah i'm on 0.4

will try 0.3

Nope, same thing, here is what i got in the console

It's when the game try to resize the blackscreen with the resolution

at launch apparently

will try to delete the config file, to see if it help

Nope, same issue with fresh cfg

[silver light]

Hmm

I think you have to launch it in window mode

At least that's what I did

[quasi flicker]

-windowed ?

do you have your config file ? It's located in appdata/local/activision/codwaw

[silver light]

This I guess

[quasi flicker]

Exactly, thanks ! And yes, it works again when i remove T4 RTX, and stop working as soon as i put it back

[silver light]

These are all the rtx files I got so you can test

[umbral goblet]

r_fullscreen 0

Or -r_fullscreen 0
if you're using a launch arg

[quasi flicker]

Same

🫠

very strange, first time i encounter this type of issue, maybe i would need to reinstall

but what is even more "bizarre" is that it work when i just remove the T4 RTX

it's running on 13900k and 4090

[night surge]

+set r_fullscreen 0

[umbral goblet]

^^^

[night surge]

soooo with you install being the retail version .. do you have a disk in your disc drive? 😂

I guess you have some kind of …. Uhm … medicine

I’m dm you when I’m home

[umbral goblet]

Nah you don't need the disc for retail WaW, just a valid CD Key for online profiles

As far as I remember at least, had a polish disc copy ages ago

[silver light]

Yes, it's necessary 😔

[umbral goblet]

Ahhh damn

[silver light]

But it's no problem for me as I have a dvd player (usb)

Btw I miss when you were able to buy physical games for pc 😭

[umbral goblet]

I still have my 6 disc copy of Infinite Warfare around here somewhere 💀

[unborn comet]

burn it

[umbral goblet]

No it was a birthday present from my mum :(

Also back then it was still faster to install 6 fucking DVDs than it was to download the game on Steam 💀

[night surge]

[umbral goblet]

God fucking DAMN

[night surge]

ooooh I have an idea 🫣 😂

[quasi flicker]

Oh

btw, any ideas why on cod5 and cod2 my game just freeze when trying to do a capture ? Is it normal ? (4090 13900k)

[umbral goblet]

👁️ 👁️

[night surge]

should be pretty quick normally but it might freeze the first few seconds (depends on the map)

and make sure to follow the first note: https://github.com/xoxor4d/t4-rtx/wiki/Home-‐-General-Tips-‐-Troubleshooting-‐-etc

[quasi flicker]

oh mb

seems to do the same while capturing in .usda when capturing the scene

[night surge]

mhh tbh I havnt tried capturing such large scenes yet. You might wanna try with something smaller at first

[night surge]

not perfect but only took me 5 minutes

[umbral goblet]

Pls give

[heavy minnow]

Woah that looks good

[night surge]

uploading

[umbral goblet]

BASED

[night surge]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/19wDjak16vrJ8rljykpD_5xTVnJLY0hXT/view?usp=sharing

latest rtx.conf

[umbral goblet]

You fucking god

[night surge]

I suggest fx_cull_elem_draw 0 and obv. fx_enable 1

bind N "give m2_flamethrower_zombie"

and bind # "give kar98k_scoped_zombie; give ammo_mp; r_warm_static 1; rtx_sky_night"

lemme know if everything works

[umbral goblet]

Will do

Uhh

[night surge]

did you put the rtx.conf in root?

[umbral goblet]

Yeah

[night surge]

Latest actions build?

[umbral goblet]

Ah fuck me, probably not

Thanks for the reminder

[sharp sparrow]

JESUS CHRIST

[night surge]

👍🏻

[silver light]

now this is actually terryfing

[umbral goblet]

Still fucked for me

Not a clue what's going on there

Do I need a specific verion of the remix runtime stuff? Like debug optimised vs release?

[night surge]

Not really no. r3rc fixed it by repasting the rtx.conf #1165264083554148482 message

[umbral goblet]

Aight, will give that a go

Repsting conf did not work

I am cursed

Should I use the one from the actions tab instead?

[silver light]

it looks like there is a little bit of culling

[umbral goblet]

Did it, but now I literally cannot see at all

Hahahaha

I am so confused lmao, what on earth did I fuck up

[sharp sparrow]

Why is there a whole field as your background 😭 no judging it just caught me off guard LOL

[umbral goblet]

It's one of xoxor's skyboxes, I must've monumentally fucked up somehow and it replaced the main menu with it hahahah

[vernal carbon]

thought a new windows xp background just dropped

[umbral goblet]

WinXP 2024 goes hard

[lofty pecan]

Not seeing any tutorials pinned. Can you guys point me to what I need to try this out for myself? I have the game itself ofc

[umbral goblet]

I was not playing on extra. that was the problem 💀

[umbral goblet]

https://github.com/xoxor4d/t4-rtx/

[lofty pecan]

Great, thanks

I feel like that link should probably be pinned lol

Don't know who has perms to do that though

[umbral goblet]

Kim does but she's busy with stuff a lot of the time

@night surge does this take place in Vanguard's Dark Aether timeline now then?

What is happening

[heavy minnow]

Australian bush fire

[umbral goblet]

💀

[quasi flicker]

it's fire ! 🤡

Still having the issue to capture anything, in .usd or .usda

game freeze and then stop responding, tried on different maps like nacht for example

even asset only crash the game

[lofty pecan]

so scene captures don't work at the moment?

[daring folio]

What's that?

Also, the bordless thing isn't working. My game isn't recognizing it.

[umbral goblet]

https://github.com/xoxor4d/t4-rtx/actions

[daring folio]

I should be able to install it from here right?

[umbral goblet]

Yeah grab the release binaries thing

[daring folio]

I can't.

[umbral goblet]

Are you logged in?

[daring folio]

https://tenor.com/view/serious-sam-serious-sam-croteam-better-call-saul-gif-27086928

no

[umbral goblet]

I almost spat out my fucking drink 💀

[daring folio]

You know what, good.

[umbral goblet]

Funny as fuck

[daring folio]

Thanks though.

Hmm, my game looks like this now.

And I'm pretty sure I imported the config file.

I may not have imported it correctly though.

[umbral goblet]

Did you take the stuff out of the assets folder and put it in the root folder?

[daring folio]

I think.

this right?

[umbral goblet]

Ye

[daring folio]

Yes, but I can do it again.

[umbral goblet]

Make sure you run exec rtx_load when you're on the menu and exec rtx_game when you load the map

[daring folio]

So, my game crashed.

[daring folio]

Idk how to change my game's settings, and I can't seem to open up the console.

I know it's unrelated to the message I replied to, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

[umbral goblet]

Remove d3d9 from your root folder and adjust your settings as necessary (Make sure textures and such are all on Extra) and make sure you enable console in game settings

[daring folio]

So all of these?

[umbral goblet]

No, just the dll, don't delete it, just move it or rename it to something so it doesn't load

[daring folio]

oh wait

which one do I load?

i mean rename

[umbral goblet]

The dll

The rest aren't important

[daring folio]

is it under .trex or under the games files?

[umbral goblet]

In the root, where the exes are

[daring folio]

alr

[daring folio]

Also, idk if I have these.

Where would these be located?

[umbral goblet]

They should be in your main folder afaik

[daring folio]

alr, I'll check

also, I tried changing the game to 144 hx, and I got this:

[umbral goblet]

Strange, it should work just fine

[daring folio]

I don't see any execs

[umbral goblet]

You don't see them in here?

[daring folio]

wait

I might be dumb

just to be sure, what are execs?

[umbral goblet]

exec is a command

[daring folio]

oh

I may have mild to severe brain damage

[umbral goblet]

💀

[daring folio]

also, idk if you tested this, but does this work on plutonium?

[umbral goblet]

Not a clue but I doubt it

[daring folio]

alr

so what do I need to do with the console?

like, with the execs and stuff

[umbral goblet]

You got all your settings sorted?

[daring folio]

aside from hz, yes

[umbral goblet]

Tried that again? Could just be WaW being WaW

[daring folio]

cool, I windowed out and it wont open

[umbral goblet]

Are you running in fullscreen mode?

[daring folio]

I think?

also

okay, I can't screenshot it, but it has black bars on the top and bottom

i have a 3440x1440 monitor, and i have the resolution set to 2560x1080.

It gave me black bars when I chnaged the hz, is there anyway to fix that?

[umbral goblet]

open the console and type
r_fullscreen 0; vid_restart
and hit enter

[daring folio]

alr, it working now

although my mouse does still seem a bit choppy in the menu

not choppy, but lower hz

[umbral goblet]

Probably just WaW

[daring folio]

also, how do I make it borderless?

I heard that was a thing you could do now

[umbral goblet]

r_noborder 1
I think

[daring folio]

did nothing

[umbral goblet]

or just
noborder

[daring folio]

alr

I got it

[umbral goblet]

Aight

[daring folio]

I just wish it was pinned to the top left

why tf is the crying emoji so hard to find

[umbral goblet]

😭

[daring folio]

😭

there

okay, so what do I do next?

[umbral goblet]

Exit out of the game and put the d3d9.dll back, or rename it to d3d9.dll depending on what you did, then you can run the game with remix again

[daring folio]

okay

is there anything else or am I good?

I'm not seeing some of the extra lights in game.

😭

[umbral goblet]

Did you exec those rtx_load and rtx_game files?

[daring folio]

no

idk how to

you have to keep in mind my brain damage

[umbral goblet]

Close game, re-open, then once you get to the main menu type in the console
exec rtx_load
then load the map either with the menu or through the console
once the game itself loads open the console once again and type
exec rtx_game

Then once that's done (It may freeze for a second or two but that's normal) type
rtx_sky_night

[daring folio]

the sky thing worked

[umbral goblet]

okay, now type
r_warm_static 1; fx_cull_elem_draw 0

[daring folio]

alr

[umbral goblet]

is
fx_enable 1
active?

[daring folio]

idk

now it is

[umbral goblet]

Should be it

[daring folio]

should it be that dark?

[umbral goblet]

Walk over to that pillar with the lamp

If it turns on then you should be good

[daring folio]

nope

[umbral goblet]

Hmmm

Could just be acting strange due to culling

[daring folio]

would there be a fix for that?

[umbral goblet]

You'd have to ask the man himself about that, I'm sure if there isn't one now then he's likely already working on it

[daring folio]

One thing I did notice is that the game didn't freeze when I typed exec rtx_game.

At least it didn't see like it did.

[umbral goblet]

What gpu you got?

[daring folio]

3070ti

[umbral goblet]

Probably just me then, I'm running on a 3060 rn

(One that seems like it's dying too ngl)

[daring folio]

https://tenor.com/view/xrd-exrd-crypto-btc-eth-gif-23801255

So, do I have to enter these commends everytime I play?

[umbral goblet]

You could likely add a few as launch options, and the ones that you can't just add a keybind, but for the most part 90% of them should stick

[daring folio]

So the only ones I need to worry about after a relaunch would be "exec rtx_load" and "exec rtx_game"?

[umbral goblet]

Think so and rtx_sky_whatever for any given level, yeah, but you could bind those all to different keys and just press them whenever needs be

[daring folio]

or really, how?

actually

before you even answer that

What do you mean by "...the game itself..."

?

Just want to make sure we were on the same page about that one

[umbral goblet]

The map or level that you chose

[daring folio]

oh, alr

I like this.

[umbral goblet]

It is kinda neat but also very strange lmao

[daring folio]

Thanks for helping me btw

[umbral goblet]

No problem fam

[daring folio]

It's just kind of annoying that some of the lights aren't working.

[umbral goblet]

Verruckt looks sick outside ngl

[umbral goblet]

This image goes hard

[daring folio]

It needs that yellow-orange tint.

[umbral goblet]

True, but it is nice

[night surge]

They do but you have to capture in usda. See the wiki tab on GitHub

Culling can be disabled using r_warm_dpvs but that’s all mentioned in the readme on GitHub 😜

[quasi flicker]

Very strange then that mine doesn't even in .usda

even on little map, i got the same issue on cod2 when trying to capture, it's trying and then when it says importing into .usd or .usda it freeze and game never come back :/

[unborn comet]

https://tenor.com/view/join-me-gif-25320120

one hard image indeed

[umbral goblet]

Ay xoxor can we get orange sky and green swamp sky?

[night surge]

Mhh example? But thats actually something one should do via the remix toolkit (actual hdri)
The ones spawned in-game are just meant as temporary solutions

[umbral goblet]

Well I was gonna show the verruckt skybox as an example for the orange one but uhh

[night surge]

[umbral goblet]

Yeah I'm not too sure what happened here but the game is not happy I removed RTX lmao

[night surge]

you just removed remix right? You need to rename nvapi too

[umbral goblet]

Ahhhhhhh

[night surge]

Thats how the game looks with fixed function rendering .. without remix 😂

[quasi flicker]

So that mean that only theses parts are fixed ? Other are shaders ?

[umbral goblet]

The fact I get 100+ more frames without remix than I do with 😭

But yeah you notice how it's still a blue sky but has that orange/yellow tint to it?

[night surge]

nah almost everything is fixed function besides a few effects (like blood) and the hud

[night surge]

disable fog

I think fog can affect the skybox in this game

[quasi flicker]

i see

[umbral goblet]

Off

Just realised effects were off 💀

[night surge]

I've created a full release that should contain ALL required files (including rtx remix itself): https://github.com/xoxor4d/t4-rtx/releases/tag/v0.5
Also published a small demo rtx-mod (mainly for nacht der untoten) on modDB: https://www.moddb.com/mods/cod5-nacht-der-untoten-demo

[night surge]

FOG

[golden wyvern]

God damn, Howd you pull that off?

[umbral goblet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYS61xFrN9c

FOG ROLLING IN

[umbral goblet]

For real though, sick as fuck

[thorny bramble]

holy shit

this looks so nice

wtf did u guys turn this into

[umbral goblet]

The modern day remaster that I'd have wished for for WaW ;-;

[golden wyvern]

Pretty pictures.

[umbral goblet]

Well technically, I suppose it really is just pictures

[night surge]

SetRenderState(D3DRS_FOGENABLE, TRUE) / SetRenderState(D3DRS_FOGVERTEXMODE, D3DFOG_LINEAR) and set start, end and color
paired with

[golden wyvern]

The joys of being able feed remix what it expects works wonders

[lofty pecan]

Fkn incredible. Any plans to change/add the lights inside to make things a little more visible? The lanterns that are there don't seem to do a ton

Within reason ofc, you still want the atmosphere

[night surge]

still need to figure out what it actually expects so I get the results I'm after. Want settings that are parsed from a text file that define fog vars per map

[umbral goblet]

RTX fog on TranZit when? 💀

[night surge]

ah man this is so much better

MORE FOG

[umbral goblet]

HOLY SHIT

THAT'S ACTUALLY FUCKING INSANE

This shit unironically looks better than BO3 and VG SNN combined

[tight beacon]

damn this looks good

[south raven]

Holy fucking shit, this is the single best thing I've ever seen in my entire life. This is better than any game that has ever come out. Please marry my sister. /s

Srsly tho looking good

[worthy summit]

reminds me of l4d2

[golden wyvern]

Does it crash when trying to capture for anyone else?

[quasi flicker]

@golden wyvern yes, figured it out yesterday. If your scene capture or asset crash, try moving your game to another drive or outside of « program files » it’s a right issues, remix isn’t able to creates it’s files, after I moved it to another drive no more issue for cod5 and cod2

[golden wyvern]

[lofty pecan]

does co-op work with the mod?

[umbral goblet]

YOOOOOOOOO

[umbral goblet]

Unsure if anyone's tested it but I don't see why not, might just be really laggy

[lofty pecan]

well I can confirm you can

just played a round with a buddy, he didn't have the mod but I did

[umbral goblet]

Nice

[sterile girder]

SSS for zombies skin when??

[south raven]

It's not really skin sss

It's just surface translucency

[sterile girder]

better than nothing 😔

[south raven]

Won't look good

[vernal carbon]

Would look like hollow paper bags in the shape of people

[eternal isle]

Add multiple layers of skin each with its own SSS parameters

[quasi flicker]

Anythings to upscale some textures ? The Remix tool, even with good parameters, doesn't seem to be really good for now, lots of strange things on some textures

maybe i should start looking at just replacing the assets instead of upscaling them with ai ?

[night surge]

I use chainner paired with pytorch models from: https://openmodeldb.info/?t=general-upscaler
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r-nhJ_Cf1k)

[quasi flicker]

Thanks for the info !

Will take a look

and for roughness and normal map, how you get it with your upscaled texture ? Use the original one ? And if not, use the one from remix AI ?

[night surge]

I use the games normal and specular maps. These can be unpacked from the iwd's in the main folder and converted to dds using iwi2dds converters

finding the right images can be quite painful tho

[quasi flicker]

so can do the same for cod2 i imagine ?

[night surge]

yes

[quasi flicker]

good to know, thanks, still neeed to figure out how i can solve some render issue with alpha blending etc.. Have some texture pop up etc

[daring folio]

That looks like the Vanguard Remaster.

[copper surge]

Hey, i haven't looked that much here, is it playable now ??

[quasi flicker]

@night surge Thanks for the Chainner tips, work like a charm, way better than remix ai for now on surface textures etc..

Also don't know if there's an AI or something to upscale a 3D model with more polygons

[fair saffron]

Can I get a config file?

[fair saffron]

Sweeeet, thankya

damn it looks fuggin good hey, BO3 qaulity

Ill jump in have a play, then ill see what I can help out with

[night surge]

sp (zombies in particular) is very playable yes. Mp is working but I still need to port the latest changes

[lofty pecan]

Any way people can help with assets? I played it co-op last night and the assets that were touched up looked pretty good, but there were plenty of poor textures and plastic looking guns

[copper surge]

Nice, do I have to set the game graphics settings to full low ?

[night surge]

Mhh not really no. Crucial settings should already be forced to their needed state. I recommend windowed mode tho

If you are using my demo mod from moddb, you even have to set texture settings to max iirc

[fair saffron]

would have go through chainner, the upscaling built in for remix isnt very good but it does do normal maps at same time which is good, not sure if chainner can do that

Saying this though there might already be a upscaled texture pack

[lofty pecan]

Yeah that's totally fine. But I mean to contribute to this specific project. Could be as simple as an updated Nacht demo where all textures have been touched up

[fair saffron]

yes, someone just needs to run down the list of textures

[lofty pecan]

Chainner can do normals but in my (limited) experience they have less complexity than Nvidia's normals

[umbral goblet]

Unfortunately not, believe me I have searched for YEARS, and is part of the reason I'm so excited for what xoxor is doing to this game

[lofty pecan]

If we had access to the project files or something then we could do it ourselves. Depends on xoxor of course

Hell I'd spend a whole afternoon doing it lol

[fair saffron]

they might be using completely new textures, might not be able too distro for copywrite reasons

[night surge]

mh? Just take a few captures and you are ready to go. You could also use the demo mod on moddb as a base and build on top of that. Comes with all textures and meshes

you know .. the toolkit allows you to remaster remix mods

[lofty pecan]

Funnily enough I tried that the other night and couldn't figure out how to start from your basis

[lofty pecan]

This is what I tried lol

When I loaded my own capture of Nacht everything was default. Do I have to manually apply all assets to "catch up"?

I was expecting to have it all already applied to start

[night surge]

not sure

did you use

[lofty pecan]

Yes. It asked me to set a project directory and pick the rtx-remix folder. Then below that there's a "load existing mod" button. Did that, selected your packaged usd/usda file (forgot which)

It said it loaded but nothing changed

Granted I only tried for like 5 or 10 min before calling it a night

[fair saffron]

Just incase your wondering how bad the built in upscaler is

[south raven]

lol

[fair saffron]

looking like 2020 ai

[night surge]

can post the source image in here? 😄

[fair saffron]

yup ill find it

[golden wyvern]

For remix or chainner?

[fair saffron]

remix

[golden wyvern]

Ah. I use substance to upscale my conversions.

[lofty pecan]

Tbf remix's AI isn't meant for complex textures like that. It's meant for consistent materials like rocks, grass, brick, etc. Though based on my own experience other AI models do that better too lol

[golden wyvern]

Have you tried the super resolution scaler in the nvidia texture tools?

[fair saffron]

ahhh i cant find the original now I had it but

https://tenor.com/view/south-park-its-gone-gif-4104229

and nah not used texture tools yet

fr tho can we can nightly builds? 🤣

[night surge]

mh?

[golden wyvern]

There’s builds on the GitHub action page

[night surge]

its static_berlin_bulletin_board_theater

oh no its static_berlin_bulletin_board_coast

[fair saffron]

Ahhh didnt see those sweet

theres two or three very similar

[fair saffron]

thats it

[night surge]

quick upscale

[golden wyvern]

Pretty good

[fair saffron]

Yeah not too bad, probably wouldnt notice in game

I think BO1 has higher base res textures from the remastered map pack also

not confirmed but iirc

textures and stuff no doubt, but i think the art is higher res

bo3 definetly does

[golden wyvern]

Sounds like a lot of work for some textures.

[fair saffron]

bo3 would be fairly easy to pull textures from using radiant

[quasi flicker]

From what I’ve tried so far, chainner with model is way better than nvidia for now, however i still use it on stock texture to get a normal and roughness map

[golden wyvern]

There’s normal and roughness maps in the original game already btw.

[lofty pecan]

So a good upscale of the base textures, normals, and roughness maps could have some great results

But with xoxor's mod are those included in the captures?

Or would they need to be manually extracted

[quasi flicker]

In cod5 yes, don't think it's the case on cod2 though ?

remix don't detect it atleast

[lofty pecan]

Cod2 probably not

[night surge]

remix only uses the albedo texture for non-replaced materials no matter the game

same for captures

[golden wyvern]

It sure does

[golden wyvern]

They sure do

Manually matching too

I tweak each one cause some of them come in pretty bleh

[quasi flicker]

Any ways to fix the camera in remix ? In the viewport, when i press rmb and move to the right, my camera roll to the right instead of just going to the right

Pretty annoying 😄

[lofty pecan]

That's an error with the capture unfortunately. In the Remix runtime in-game, there's options for captures that toggle the axis the capture is taken on. Some games need that toggle

So try recapturing using that setting and see if that does the trick

It might also need the left handed setting enabled too, I needed it for a UE2 game

[quasi flicker]

Thanks

[quasi flicker]

sorry for being annoying, anyone know why i get this error while building dxvk with meson ? Seems like a dependency issue when trying to download.

Can this be because i didn't rebooted ?

[quasi flicker]

@night surge sorry, don’t want to bother you and be annoying but, any ideas ?

[golden wyvern]

🧑‍🍳

[golden wyvern]

Don't build it from source. just download the binaries

[quasi flicker]

I need to recompile it to include a fix for cod screen resolution it’s not fixed yet in the binaries sadly 😢

[golden wyvern]

Ohhhh that. Better off asking in #general-remix

Anyone know what texture this is?

[golden wyvern]

Got the vacuum tube looking neat

[quasi flicker]

Looks nice ! Yeah nobody seems to know either in general 💀

[fair saffron]

i dont think remix works with vulkan

[lofty pecan]

remix is vulkan

it translates everything to vulkan to enable hardware RT

[fair saffron]

Ahhh my mistake

[novel turret]

what did you use to upscale?

out of curiosity

[fair saffron]

Ive gone in and tried to edit but in remix the file shows as such, is this because I need to press capture assets only aswell as capture

its the demo file, just renamed

[night surge]

chainner -> https://openmodeldb.info/models/4x-Nomos8kSCSRFormer

[night surge]

no idea .. haven't edited an existing mod yet

is the demo mod working properly in-game? Did you set your texture settings to extra?

[fair saffron]

Yeah no issues with playing it, just editing

Looks great btw

[night surge]

I personally use this xmodel viewer (needs modtools installed): https://tom-crowley.co.uk/downloads/

I then go into raw/xmodels and open zombie_difference_engine in a hex editor and search for the material it uses (almost at the bottom)

I then open the material located in raw/materials to find the images

[golden wyvern]

I think this map has a lot of lighting potential

[night surge]

oh yes definitely! That slight bit of fog also adds something

@vernal carbon lovely lamp 💡

[vernal carbon]

It's lampy!

Looking cool as heck dude

[night surge]

remix is like an addiction 😂

[vernal carbon]

Probably should upload my other bits and bobs now toolkits out. got a wall lamp and wooden crate

[vernal carbon]

Too right.

[golden wyvern]

I think I might change up the sun light from the original game's. It doesn't quite reach the right bits with PT

[night surge]

juicy floor

[golden wyvern]

[daring folio]

Dude, that looks beautiful.

@night surge Sorry to bother you, but shouldn't there be fire here?

[night surge]

You have to enable fx

[daring folio]

oh

how do you do that again?

oh nvm

i got it, thanks

[daring folio]

Does anyone know what those commands are?

I have no clue if I have to put it into some kind of config file or on the console.

[golden wyvern]

Fx_enable 1

[daring folio]

I did this, but the fog doesn't look as good as the video.

[golden wyvern]

They’re commands for the renderer. Not something for us

[golden wyvern]

Takes some tweaking in the remix settings and the fog config file

[eternal isle]

There's always someone in the comments section who tries to be the cool guy

Do you have lenses in the scope 😛 ?

Or is it just a single one for the eyepiece

for reflections

[night surge]

are you using the latest release and updated the rtx.conf?

[night surge]

there are 4 lenses in there but I didnt manage to get it to look somewhat proper 😂

[daring folio]

I'm pretty sure.

I downloaded the stuff through the links you provided a few days ago, unless that's already outdated.

[night surge]

2 days ago: https://github.com/xoxor4d/t4-rtx/releases/tag/v0.5.3

if you have that already, go to map_settings.ini in root/t4rtx/ and edit the 3rd parameter on nazi_zombie_prototype from nazi_zombie_prototype, 2, 5000, .... to nazi_zombie_prototype, 2, 1000, .... to increase fog by A LOT

[daring folio]

Alright, I'll try it when I get the chance. Thanks!

[upbeat patrol]

Damn, game really looks amazing but boy gonna need a 5090 to get high FPS at anything above DLSS ultra performance on a 4k monitor.

Even in an early state like this, looks really promising though. Always wanted a WaW remaster.

[edgy oasis]

i tried it with nacht but the only light comes from the sky

not the laterns and stuff

[night surge]

Did you use the demo mod from modDB or just the client mod on GitHub?

[edgy oasis]

moddb and github seem to be same file atleasr for me

idk if im missing something

[night surge]

Huh no the client on GitHub includes no assets and is a makes the game itself compatible with remix. The mod on modDB ist an actual remix mod (materials/assets)

If you installed both things, make sure that your texture quality is set to extra ingame

[edgy oasis]

so the moddb is talking about this?

cause when i click download this is what the file is
which seems to be the same as the github file they are even the same side

so idk where the asset like mod is

i could just be blind

[night surge]

Oh shit I’ve uploaded the wrong one thanks for letting me know 😂

Will fix that after work

[edgy oasis]

all good

[night surge]

fixed: https://www.moddb.com/mods/cod5-nacht-der-untoten-demo/downloads/t4-rtx-samplemod-zombie

[night surge]

aah finally some good quality video 😄
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4elSCvahDVY

also nice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itE8WDxo_0Y

[sterile girder]

would be nice to get the same colors grading

(is that the right word?)

[umbral goblet]

Think so

I do like the new tone as well tbf, but I think the lighter colours, at least on the lightbulbs, would be cool to see how it plays

[golden wyvern]

Did some of the weapons not have normal maps , they just show up as $identitynormalmap.iwi in xmodel.

[night surge]

Most of the weapons don’t use a normalmap

[steady flax]

is this a current build?

[night surge]

That’s what’s currently up on modDB

[golden wyvern]

Weird. You’d think with it taking up so much of the screen they’d make it have one.

Guess I’ll just generate some in substance and chainner

[night surge]

Yeah never understood that either 😜

[fervent pelican]

@night surge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ_oIoJcbVs

yo cod zombies creators are makin videos on ur mod

[woeful inlet]

o shi dats amazing

[copper surge]

Y'all should try the 2.5.1 DLSS, i don't recall who tried this but it was the last version that didn't had ghosting

[night surge]

yea its definitely caused by dlss .. will try that version thanks 👍🏻

[lofty pecan]

It's worth mentioning the only thing special about 2.5.1 is that it was the last version of DLSS to not include all presets

It was based on (imo) the best preset, C

But you can use this same preset in newer DLSS versions, in fact I think you can change the preset through rtx.conf

So you could use the latest DLSS improvements + the best preset for clarity/ghosting

2.5.1 is definitely the quick way though

[night surge]

same kind of ghosting on 2.5.1

[lofty pecan]

That's actually pretty surprising lol

[vernal carbon]

lil bit of ghosting ain't a big deal, looks wicked xoxor4d

Spooky as well

[unborn comet]

then its not ghosting i think

[vernal carbon]

We need an exorcist to be sure

[unborn comet]

#1201950875476828271 message

please read this conversation

might be related

Basically it tries to determine if the same geometry between two different frames is the same object or not. For example in the case of instanced street lights in a row, when you go to the next frame, and the search distance is too large, remix will think that one lamp next to the other one is the same object but it moved a few meters ahead. This can cause the object to have motion vectors even tho it didn't actually move.

[night surge]

Hey @wooden barn, sorry for the ping 🫣
There is some kind of ghosting problem in this game and only happens when dlss is enabled.
It also happens on cod4 but not as bad as here. I noticed that its only really visible in darker areas in cod4.
Any idea what might be causing that?

Video of dlss on/off

Motionvectors

setting viewtransform to inview (changes motionvectors but the distant light rotates with the camera)

and cod4

[unborn comet]

this might not be ghosting

[night surge]

also happens with TAA-U, also tested dlss 2.5.1 (same issue)

[unborn comet]

what about no DLSS

[night surge]

I turned dlss off in the first video - does not happen then

[unborn comet]

wait nvm

hmm

only Mark will tell

[golden wyvern]

I remember this being a sore spot for U2. If it’s the same issue, then turn off autoexposure

[night surge]

huh yea thats definitely better

[golden wyvern]

I wonder if it’s some setting with autoexposure that can be tweaked.

[night surge]

there is still some ghosting around the gun but it only affects shadows

also happens without dlss tho

so if its an issue, its not related to dlss

[golden wyvern]

Might be something with the denoiser?

[unborn comet]

temporal accumulation perhaps

[wooden barn]

You've already figured out more than I know about this topic 😅 I'll see if I can get someone more familiar with it to take a gander.

[night surge]

Haha thank you! Thats one of the most prominent things people point out in the comments 😬 🤦‍♂️

[golden wyvern]

Mark’s not tracing the rays quick enough

[bright knoll]

Tried out the mod last night and it looks great! A lot of ghosting like people have mentioned. Hits my 4070ti hard even with dlss. I get between 30-60 fps. Frame gen helps tho.

[night surge]

much better without auto exposure. Looks great with a few tonemapping tweaks 👍🏻

[night surge]

can you try again with this conf?

[golden wyvern]

If you crank the adjustment time of autoexposure to as small as possible does it still happen?

[unborn comet]

the shadows getting their details blurred out for a bit is still persistent

[night surge]

yea doesnt change no matter what value I put in .. nothing of the settings changes anything ghosting wise

[bright knoll]

Yes! I'll try it when I'm home later today! Thanks!

[golden wyvern]

Welp

Anyway the autoexposure ghosting has been an issue that occurs in every game. Hopefully this pushes for a fix

[wooden barn]

Has anyone filed a github issue about auto exposure causing ghosting?

[golden wyvern]

@south raven might have

[south raven]

Nope

[golden wyvern]

Welp

[south raven]

go do it

[wooden barn]

definitely worth filing one with some of the videos / images demonstrating the issue, and a list of the games this is most obvious in would also be helpful

[night surge]

Are you filing the issue or should I?

[golden wyvern]

I’m horribly at filing issues on GitHub so I’d rather you do it

[night surge]

@golden wyvern any other game that comes to mind where its really noticeable? Do you maybe have some footage of u2 or the posts so I can link them?

[golden wyvern]

Search for autoexposure on this discord for all the fun conversations

[night surge]

#showcase message

[upbeat patrol]

Great, this is already looking a hell of a lot better!

Likely isn't a surprise, but I have noticed the ghosting improves significantly with better frame rates. Using DLSS ultra performance(upscaled to 4k) on a 4090 and getting around 120-150~ FPS with frame gen the ghosting was vastly less than even with performance. If that data point's of any help. I was getting around 85-115~ FPS on DLSS performance so was surprised at how significant the improvement was.

[night surge]

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/issues/391

[wooden barn]

got a few rendering people chatting about the ghosting due to dlss + auto exposure and what could possibly cause that. There were a few ideas of things they want to test, but not really anything yall could do anything with.

One note that was interesting - DLSS apparently needs to know a bit about the min and max expected exposure, and we may only be passing that to DLSS when Remix starts up. so you may need to save your settings and reload to actually see what a given set of exposure values + DLSS setting will actually look like.

[night surge]

Thanks for the quick update! I really like reading these details 😜
Min and max exposure seem to adjust (visibly) without reloading the game. Did a few tests with a lot of different values (+reloading) but couldn't get either a reduction or an increase in ghosting

[wooden barn]

the settings work on the auto exposure, but DLSS apparently needs to know those settings as well to properly do something or other. The theory was that ghosting would be worse after you adjust the auto exposure settings, unless you save those settings and re-start the game.

That's just one thing that we'll need to look into when we actually investigate this though - not something yall need to try to dig into or test

[bright knoll]

Just tested it out! Ghosting is all but gone! Performance may have gone up by 3-5 fps.

[steady flax]

Maybe he should start raying the trays

Does Mark have raytraced eyeballs though? That is the question

Will we see all reflections

[umbral goblet]

Technically everyone has raytraced eyeballs, they do reflect stuff if you look close enough 👁️ 👄 👁️

[steady flax]

Well yeah lol

[umbral goblet]

There you go then, question successfully answered

[steady flax]

Not really though

I was just making a joke

[umbral goblet]

Just look into your eyes, you'll find the answer eventually

[lunar swan]

Hey can we expect to this to made for the campaign as well?

As in playable from start to finish

[night surge]

yea .. just start

[worthy summit]

click the play button xD

[south raven]

Game not working?

Have you tried starting it?

[lunar swan]

Nah because I saw a lot of images from zombies. So I figured you were focusing on getting RTX to work with zombies with no issues. Not the campaign. As in playing the campaign with no noticeable visual hiccups or something like that

[night surge]

zombies = sp

[lunar swan]

I imagine that in order to ensure that you would need to play the campaign start to finish

But your working on it

So you know better

[lunar swan]

Fair enough

[night surge]

campain works, doesnt crash but performance isn't good as levels are huge

[lunar swan]

Yeah that’s what I meant by that

Regardless of which

It’s nice to see WAW look this good

So thanks for your work

It’s epic

[night surge]

💚

[unborn comet]

have you tried turning your router on and off again

[south raven]

@night surge What about occlusion culling

Fully occluded objects don't really need to be rendered

Especially tiny ones

[night surge]

I'm not skilled enough to implement such a system especially without source access 🫣

would definitely help a ton tho

[south raven]

Time to break into infinity ward archives

[unborn comet]

grab the pdb

and the compiler

[south raven]

And the assets

And the concept art

[eternal isle]

If they are keeping one

[unborn comet]

And NX1 project

[south raven]

dunno what that is

[night surge]

there was a recent video "leak" that showcased a canceled prototype build of a cod game made by neversoft

[south raven]

ah

[vernal carbon]

Their studio logo was awesome

https://youtu.be/l1gtO2ajXA8?si=DDAJ0hpTC9I-VDKe

[upbeat patrol]

Really?

I have a very consistent crash in the second mission whenever I call in the missile strike on the beach. Haven't played the entire campaign, but played a handful of stages and it'll work, even if there's a lot of graphical glitches. That's the only impassable crash I've seen

[night surge]

oh true! Happens because I'm trying to read memory that I'm not allowed to .. but only because of a game bug

looks like the game itself is writing out of bounds because used > the total buffer size

[steady flax]

dlss has ghosting issues in general, noticeable in forza 5 as well

also in cod if you focus on your red dot or iron sight there is ghosting

[night surge]

the heavy ghosting in this game is gone now tho

[steady flax]

ok

[cold willow]

Everytime i try to install the rtx mod i get a directx unrecoverable error. Any ideas what that could be

[lofty pecan]

did you follow the instructions? it should work first try

[cold willow]

Yes i've tried numerous times. I have no clue what i could be doing wrong

[cold willow]

it says t4 rtx when i start game up but no visual differences? And it lags very badly. Its laggy then speeds up and lags more.

[lofty pecan]

something's up because rtx remix is vulkan

it's supposed to turn the game from dx9 to vulkan to enable RT

[cold willow]

can you give me a brief installation walkthrough? There must be something im missing

[lofty pecan]

install the t4 rtx mod, then install the RTX remix runtime. The files should come with a pre configured rtx.conf file that does everything for you basically

then there's also this (https://www.moddb.com/mods/cod5-nacht-der-untoten-demo/downloads/rtxconf-update-to-fix-ghosting-for-0015) patch which updates the rtx.conf file to help with ghosting

but really the two things are all you need

make sure your ingame texture quality is set to ultra if that might be an issue

[cold willow]

thats what my game looks like

[unborn comet]

Oh no that's rasterized

No ray tracing evident

[cold willow]

it also lags super bad as is

[lofty pecan]

yeah I'm not quite sure why it's not pathtracing

[unborn comet]

Mark not tracing enough rays

[cold willow]

I've tried the "easy" installation method and I've tried the "manual but always updated" method and both led to the same results as the screenshot

[steady flax]

Gives me errors when trying to launch it

[lofty pecan]

might wanna wait until xoxor's back online and ask him about it directly. He'll probably have an idea

[steady flax]

here's the log I get

[stiff kestrel]

post the d3d9_gamename.log file too

[reef gorge]

doesn't look like you have the vulkan api's

weird

[stiff kestrel]

Intel(R) RaptorLake-S Mobile Graphics Controller
this isn't a laptop, right?

[steady flax]

No, full gaming PC

[stiff kestrel]

odd

so many weird things going on

[reef gorge]

agreed

[unborn comet]

install vulkan sdk?

idk

[reef gorge]

was about to say if it's a laptop i can help but i

[stiff kestrel]

https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver

i think this is the right thing?

[reef gorge]

'm at a loss other then the vulkan drivers

[reef gorge]

looks like it

[steady flax]

brings me right back to NVIDIA Drivers, which I am fully up to date on

[reef gorge]

did you install the studio or game ready drivers

[steady flax]

GRDs

[reef gorge]

ok

try reinstalling the remix files then

[steady flax]

as in the remix itself

[reef gorge]

yeah

the remix files

[stiff kestrel]

@steady flax also just to be clear, you installed both the client mod and the mod file from moddb?

[steady flax]

lemme double check

I have and it still errors

[reef gorge]

hmmm

[stiff kestrel]

have you tried other games with Remix?

[reef gorge]

^^

[steady flax]

was about to try CS:S

[stiff kestrel]

try one of the really easy games first: #1198957423982018620

[steady flax]

would it be as easy as slapping in RTX Remix

like the 0.4.0 stuff

[stiff kestrel]

ya

for most of those, that's the case

Minetest requires a specific version though. Oddworld requires the beta version in Steam. i'll add notes in that channel

[steady flax]

@stiff kestrel so SHAR works

ish

[stiff kestrel]

does it at least get past the driver thing?

[steady flax]

yes

it shows the Welcome on launch

check SHAR's forum to work that

so yeah, it might be something with WaW then

[night surge]

@steady flax if you didn't already, could your try the latest full release of t4-rtx? -> https://github.com/xoxor4d/t4-rtx/releases/download/v0.5.3/t4-rtx-v0.5.3-240126-acdcfc5.zip
This comes with ALL files that are needed, just drag and drop everything into your cod5 root folder

Its also worth a try to :

• delete your waw profile config under C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\PROFILE\config.cfg
• using nvidia system tools to manually set your gpu to your 4090 for CoDWaw.exe (3D Settings -> Programm Settings) because I suspect that its trying to use your onboard gpu

[steady flax]

nvidia system tools as in?

also did both, error still occurs

[night surge]

or disable the onboard gpu in your bios if you are up for that 🫣

[stiff kestrel]

it seems to be using their 4090 already according to Remix logs?

other games running with Remix are okay, it seems to just be this

[night surge]

it definitely checks the igpu and fails after that

[stiff kestrel]

it prints my iGPU info as well it doesn't

[steady flax]

disabled Intel GPU now, trying to run now

That did it

[stiff kestrel]

very weird. i have an iGPU enabled and never had this issue. this game must be doing something very odd to cause Remix to break in that way

[steady flax]

now to uninstall, reinstall, then add Remix

cause I can't do gfx settings with remix

tysm @night surge

[night surge]

@steady flax Glad that it works now. Make sure to use the full release I linked, then grab the latest nightly: https://github.com/xoxor4d/t4-rtx/actions/runs/7762612504
If you install the sample mod from moddb afterwards, make sure not to overwrite the rtx.conf .. the conf that comes with the latest nightly is the most up to date 🙂

[steady flax]

ok now fullscreen is off center

[night surge]

I advise you against using fullscreen 🙂

[steady flax]

I already was gonna run windowed then do Borderless Windowed through a program

just had to alter options

[night surge]

no need for another programm. Just use the borderless console command

it will place the window at 0 0 and disable the titlebar

[steady flax]

taking forever to go into windowed

this is without remix

nvm I think I got it

[reef gorge]

For my I got a laptop and it does that for me

Print it

[stiff kestrel]

i swear it used to, but it's not in my most recent logs

[cold willow]

just tried to install again and still the same outcome! why is raytracing not working correctly?

[south raven]

try finger but whole

[night surge]

please post the steps on how you installed it

[cold willow]

I started off by installing the full release for rtx-remix v0.4, extracted it into waw directory on steam. I then installed rtx remix demo. then installed the updated config.

[night surge]

can you open the ingame console and take a screenshot of what it says?

[cold willow]

is this correct?

[night surge]

it didnt load the client mod (the console does not display t4-rtx [version] >

dxvk.conf maybe?

[golden wyvern]

Ohhhh he prob doesn’t have that nvapi flag changed in dxvk

[night surge]

that is in .trex right?

[golden wyvern]

Nah it’s in the main folder

[night surge]

@cold willow alright can you check if you have a dxvk.conf file in the root folder of cod5?

if so open it with a texteditor and search for dxgi.nvapiHack

if its set to true then comment out the line by adding # infront like so: # dxgi.nvapiHack = True

[golden wyvern]

I think from the default you have to change it to false.

[cold willow]

yeah i don't have the dxvk.conf in the root directory

[night surge]

what gpu do you have?

[night surge]

I dont have a dxvk.conf either so should be disabled by default

[cold willow]

i have a 6900xt so that's probably why

[night surge]

yea

so

https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1200581652095713311

[cold willow]

I tried installing on my laptop with 3080 and it gives me a directx error. Does that have to do with the dxvk.conf?

[night surge]

its probably because the game or remix tries to use your onboard gpu (you'd have to disable that in the bios if that works on your laptop)

download: https://github.com/ThirteenAG/Ultimate-ASI-Loader/releases (the non x64) version

extract dsound.dll into your cod5 root folder

then rename nvapi.dll to nvapi.asi

and start the game

[cold willow]

i extracted dsound.dll into root folder but im not seeing a nvapi.dll on my laptop

[night surge]

then re-extract it from the t4-rtx release

[cold willow]

still getting this after following your steps

[night surge]

that is on your laptop tho right

[cold willow]

yes on the laptop

[night surge]

you only need the asi loader on your other pc with the amd card

laptop: you have to either disable your onboard gpu in the bios or force the dedicated gpu via nvidia system controls

[cold willow]

awesome news got it to work now on the pc with amd card. but it is unplayable due to the lag lol and ideas what i could do to help performance

[golden wyvern]

||Buy an RTX card||

[pearl star]

nothing works with plutonium apparently🤷‍♂️ no clue why

[umbral goblet]

It's because plutonium is shit

[eternal isle]

The more you buy, the more you save

[stiff kestrel]

wow

[fleet wasp]

pog

[golden wyvern]

Note: the explosions look pretty goofy with the low settings

Going to try messing with the berlin levels now. All the foilage on the japan ones murders fps. I'm getting like 15fps most of the time.

[umbral goblet]

Bro's not just cooking, he's running a whole damn kitchen

[golden wyvern]

Eh, I'm just taking the game's original materials and porting them over. Lighting is my own to a degree tho

[umbral goblet]

Still looks incredible

[golden wyvern]

[upbeat patrol]

Damn that's cool. Awesome to see the campaign getting some love!

[umbral goblet]

Now I can get my ears blown out by Reznov screaming "FIRE THE PANZERSCHREK" every 3 seconds in HD!

[golden wyvern]

Because @eternal osprey asked for remix on a CRT.

[stiff kestrel]

lol

[eternal osprey]

Hah, close enough!

[upbeat patrol]

Goddamn that's cursed lol.

[eternal osprey]

I love it

Would play

[golden wyvern]

Honestly the gamma being so wrong is kinda nostalgic

[eternal osprey]

Yeah no kidding! I was never a CoD person but this is definitely what Halo looked like to me back in the day haha

Was still using a CRT when Halo 2 launched even

[stiff kestrel]

i used a CRT for my PS3 up until like 2015, lol

playing BF4 wasn't very easy on that

[golden wyvern]

I had a flat CRT for the entire 360 generation

[stiff kestrel]

mine was one of those older, rounded ones. composite input only 😢

[eternal osprey]

DAMN! Honestly, respect

[topaz kiln]

I normally look at this chat in silence but my god is this tugging the right nostalgia strings. How I remembered waw when it first came out.

[eternal isle]

If you used reshade, did you used a controller or figured out how to use keyboard & mouse

[golden wyvern]

No it’s a separate application

[gritty salmon]

So anytime I launch the game it is just a black screen with the main menu music playing
The screen is also off-center

[night surge]

1. does it show something without having remix installed? (rename or delete d3d9.dll in the root folder)
2. does it show something without t4rtx? (rename or delete nvapi.dll)
3. if its still black, go to your player profile under appdata/local/Activision/CoDWaW/players/yourprofile and open the config.cfg file, search for rendererInUse and tell me the value

[gritty salmon]

Okay so I deleted each of the files you recommended to - one at a time - and here's what happened:

1. Deleting d3d9.dll causes my game to launch okay and the menu loads just fine.

2. Deleting nvapi.dll causes the game to go back to a black screen and goes off center. The audio stutters briefly before the application freezes.

3. I went searching for "rendererInUse" in the config.cfg and it couldn't seem to find it anywhere

[night surge]

its r_rendererPreference sorry

So step 2 was also without the d3d9.dll? Thats odd.
Could you post your d3d9.log?

[gritty salmon]

Oh okay well here is what it says:

seta r_rendererPreference "Default"

[night surge]

change that to seta r_rendererPreference "Shader model 3.0"

[gritty salmon]

Alright I just changed it
Also was I supposed to delete both of those files or just one at a time?

That could be the issue

[night surge]

deleting both is fine if you did that, just wanted to know if you did so or if you restored the d3d9.dll before that

[gritty salmon]

Ahh okay
I deleted d3d9.dll then launched the application
Then after that I brought back d3d9.dll and deleted nvapi.dll before repeating the process

So that was my mistake

[night surge]

ah okay so its definitely related to remix then. Please post your d3d9.log (root folder) and NvRemixBridge.log (within the .trex folder)

[gritty salmon]

Okay so you want me to copy and paste the info from the d3d9 text document and NvRemixBridge text document here?

Or send a screenshot?

[night surge]

just drag/drop the txt files into here

[gritty salmon]

Ah alright

[night surge]

mhh what GPU do you have?

and could you try to change the following in your config.cfg:

• seta r_fullscreen "0"
• seta r_mode "1280x720"

[gritty salmon]

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

[gritty salmon]

I'll try it

[night surge]

and I noticed that you are on an older version of remix (0.3.5). So please also try with the latest full release: https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/releases/download/remix-0.4.1/remix-0.4.1-release.zip

looks like you are running a more recent bridge build but an older runtime

[gritty salmon]

I downloaded the latest full release and tried launching it but it won't launch

[night surge]

it wont launch at all? - please post the most recent d3d9.log

[night surge]

Odd ... do you have an onboard gpu? If so, you could try to disable that in the bios. That has helped a few people with similar issues.

[gritty salmon]

After checking, I don't believe I have an onboard gpu
I honestly feel as if I am missing something which is causing my game to launch as a black screen
What all is needed to be able to use the nacht der untoten rtx demo exactly? Like step by step

[gritty salmon]

Also I just encountered a new error when trying to launch the game once more
It won't even launch the application as a black screen anymore

[night surge]

this guy had the same error and it was the onboard gpu that caused that: #1165264083554148482 message

do you have a desktop or a laptop?

[celest lily]

Man I've been wanting to test this for a minute now but I can't get it to run for the life of me. Upon testing its giving me the same error as above. (as in what the log says aswell) I have a desktop, my GPU is a RTX 2060 Super and I don't have integrated graphics so that's not the cause and I double checked the config just to make sure the game is reading my GPU properly. I also reset my config and only changed the resolution/fullscreen settings to no avail.

The game only boots up and runs in multiplayer but doesn't load t4rtx and otherwise I can get both single/multi to work if I simply remove the nvapi.dll, removing the d3d9.dll does nothing.

[golden wyvern]

Use asi loader

[celest lily]

I'm giving it a shot, so far to no avail. It just requires the d3d9 and nothing to do with the binkw one right?

[golden wyvern]

No idea what binkw is

[worthy summit]

its a video decoder

[celest lily]

^

[worthy summit]

https://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm

[celest lily]

I think it's specifically for the cutscenes in WAW

[worthy summit]

for those movies u see at beginning

[celest lily]

bingo

So what am I doing wrong? If I'm reading correctly I just download the x86 version off the github and just rename the old one right?

[worthy summit]

old one? there shouldnt be a (existing) d3d9.dll in the game dir

[south raven]

mmm

fmvs

[celest lily]

Oh? Removing the dll causes remix to not boot with the game and it still crashes cause of t4rtx

[south raven]

I remember when portal version of remix refused to work with any games with fmvs

[celest lily]

I'm pretty sure they don't even have the videos in FMV format, they have em in some weird IWD format if I'm not mistaken.

[worthy summit]

what does t4rtx ship with?

dll? asi?

[celest lily]

The two DLLs packaged directly in the zip file are the nvapi and d3d9 dll files

[worthy summit]

then u should use those

i was thinking it came with a seperate dll and it loaded alongside remix its d3d9 hook

[celest lily]

Alrighty, I'll make sure I get a fresh wipe rq and see if I can work this out

Yup, still nothing. I know when ya'll first got this working I BARELY managed to get t4rtx running but for the life of me couldn't load into a map. Not sure what I did but I know I'm missing something

[lofty pecan]

Nothing looks wrong with that log, might be some instability with the game itself

[celest lily]

Damn, guess it's back to waiting for everything to become more stable between this project and remix itself 😭 can't wait for this to function smoothly I'm gonna go wild with WAW

[night surge]

can you try the nvapi from this nightly? https://github.com/xoxor4d/t4-rtx/actions/runs/7553878933

• uploaded it just in-case you dont have a github account

Having multiple people with that issue now ... What's your game's localization? -> localization.txt first line

[umbral goblet]

Insane if it's just a localisation error, but ngl it wouldn't surprise me

[celest lily]

Game is english, I'll give that one a shot right now and lyk if it works

[night surge]

unsure if the newest german version has a different exe (just like black ops 1)

can you also post CoDWaW_d3d9.log if it fails again?

[celest lily]

Yup, here ya are

It is actually attempting now which is good, still doesn't launch however. I didn't get this much info from any of the previous logs tho so there's that

[umbral goblet]

Likely would I'd imagine, even when compiling maps and mods and whatnot there're specific tags for german safe so it'd have to be compiled separately, I'm assuming it'd need different pointers and stuff to the german-safe equivalents

[celest lily]

If I'm reading correctly my crash is coming from the bridge specifically right? I wish I understood better but is it getting stuck on communicating with DXVK during launch?

[night surge]

Yeah because the game and the runtime aren't launching probably .. you dont have visual studio installed by any chance? 😂
I'd really like to find the issue here but its kinda hard without knowing where it fails

[celest lily]

I should have visual studio installed, if not I don't mind reinstalling it rq. You'd just need too let me know what I gotta do

[night surge]

your log seems good besides it detecting your gpu twice 🤷‍♀️

[night surge]

VS 2019 would be fine, 22 better. With c++

[celest lily]

Oh yeah I see that now, interesting.

[celest lily]

Gotcha, I'll get 22 installed with C++ rn

[night surge]

🙏

[celest lily]

Alright I have it installing, I'm gonna step outside for a smoke rq and it should be ready to roll

[night surge]

alright lets take this to dm's and figure it out

[celest lily]

It's halfway done now, I'll shoot you a DM when it's ready 😎 👍

[night surge]

can you right click your CoDWaW.exe -> go to Details and make a screenshot? Need to know the version of your exe 🙌

[night surge]

^ This was caused by not running the latest patch (1.7). It's working now 🙏

[gritty salmon]

Hope this helps

[gritty salmon]

Also I'm on desktop btw

[night surge]

ah forgot, can you also post your CoDWaW_d3d9.log ?

[gritty salmon]

Here:

[celest lily]

I haven't been able to get the toolkit to work so I'm disappointed I can't add lighting but thus far I am super satisfied with what I've seen. Seeing the light bleeding through the top of the Reichstag in the beginning of Downfall is stunning and I died laughing when I crashed during the last part where the roof gets shelled to shit right before you grab the flag lmaooo.

By chance has anyone already made some simple lighting mods for zombies? Not sure why the toolkit won't allow me to do anything unfortunately, I wanna hand make some PBR for Nacht but with how dark it is it isn't worth the effort.

[golden wyvern]

There's not that many lights to begin with in nacht so you'd have to go in and add your own lamps and such

[celest lily]

That's what I'm saying but I can't even get the toolkit to function, I made a thread in the toolkit help section about it.

Still using OctoTex to upscale Nacht textures for shits n gigs anyway lmaoo then I'mma redo everything except the normals manually.

[celest lily]

As a matter of fact I got the toolkit working with a GMOD map but it absolutely detests World at War maps for some reason.

[night surge]

https://github.com/xoxor4d/t4-rtx/wiki/Home-‐-General-Tips-‐-Troubleshooting-‐-etc

[celest lily]

Goated, thanks for that. I figured it was WAW specific after further testing and that explains why. Thanks unicode lmaoo

[celest lily]

Definitely way more taxing than Garry's Mod generally, but surprisingly handles 2K without DLSS much better. That makes taking screenshots for WAW so much easier. I've had so much fun playing around with this and the toolkit already lmaoo

[rocky flicker]

Tried using both the release and action versions of t4-rtx but the console still reads Cod_WaW
Also I think remix is using my iGPU for some godforsaken reason

[night surge]

do you maybe have a dxvk.conf in your root folder that has dxgi.nvapiHack set to true?
If so, set that to false. Otherwise .. you either have an amd card or your onboard gpu doesnt support nvapi

You'll have to force your external gpu for this game via nvidia control panel (if you have a nv card) or disable your onboard gpu in the bios

Once you fixed the igpu issue and the game still wont load t4rtx:
you can also load the t4rtx dll using asiloader: https://github.com/ThirteenAG/Ultimate-ASI-Loader/releases -> rename the downloaded file (non x64) to dsound.dll -> place it into the games root folder. Then rename nvapi.dll to nvapi.asi

[rocky flicker]

No dxvk.conf, is it supposed to be included in any of the release zips or do I need to make it myself? I'm very new to remix
I'm running a 7600X and 4070 so nvapi shouldn't be an issue
I'll try forcing the dGPU, hopefully that sorts it out

[night surge]

dxvk.conf shouldn't be included in any actual remix release no so dont worry

I guess the game determines your igpu as incompatible, hence not loading the nvapi.dll. So yeah, fixing the igpu issue should fix the nvapi loading issue as well

[rocky flicker]

Looks like I'll have to disable the iGPU, quick question but in the event I have my dGPU unplugged in the future and try to get to BIOS with the iGPU disabled, would that pose any issues?

[night surge]

you'd simply reset your bios if your dedicated gpu dies

[rocky flicker]

Welp disabled it via device manager and that worked, though thinking about it doing it via bios would be preferable since its easier to reset than I thought
Everything runs perfectly now, thanks a lot 🙏

[celest lily]

I'm currently toying around with several maps and using OctoTex for textures since my GPU isn't capable of using the AI tools in the remix toolkit. I'm so impressed by how well this works despite my GPU clearly being too underpowered but man can I pull off some amazing screenshots which is good enough for me. Downfall looks BEAUTIFUL, all of the cracks in the ceiling that let the sunlight through is phenomenal. The chandeliers when given light are so gorgeous too. Vendetta is also extremely gorgeous yet gritty. I've been working on map textures but I need to get on adding PBR to all of the guns.

After spending some time with this I absolutely have to commend your work on getting this running Xoxor, I've had for more fun playing around with raytracing in this game than GMOD despite it lacking the same sandbox nature. I'm not sure if there's other commands I'm not aware of that'd be neat to play with but the ability to swap skyboxes on the fly is an excellent feature and the map settings are also goated.

Can't wait to post some screenshots in the showcase section when I finally finish getting everything to look how I want. 😎 👌

Oh and the only rasterization issues I've noticed are literally in this level. For some reason objects to the left like the german patrol and that dead soldier get rasterized in the intro but everything gets fixed when you get control. Very minor issue but I figured its something to point out.

[night surge]

Mhh haven’t checked that but it might be that you or I marked some world element as UI that causes that.
I’m glad that you are having fun 🙏

[celest lily]

I'd be willing to bet I probably did actually, and if I decide to I'll check if it happens with the original config file and see if I can't figure it out for ya.

And absolutely! I believe I've stumbled on some old forum posts from you in the WAW mapmaking community and it caught me by surprise! Very impressive how long you've been doing stuff with this game, and I can't wait to see how you improve on this in the future! Especially MP if that's still something you plan on, but even if not this is incredible as is!

[upbeat patrol]

Love seeing the progress that's being made with multiple fronts of the game!

Really hoping to see the campaign remastered at some point as WaW easily had one of the best CoD campaigns and it was the only one of two you could play co-op on. Playing through effectively a remaster with modern bells and whistles with buddies would be a great time.
