yes but it's the file render by movavi the original file record made 5gb

[noble beacon]

[north kiln]

meh until the moment youtube dont drift the audio and the video it's all what i ask the upload take 15 minutes at the place of 2 minutes it's not the death

[noble beacon]

36gb painkiller level video Is the death

[noble beacon]

It will take a billion years for youtube to process it

It would seem you should use proper software like OBS bruh

It takes 10sec to set up

[north kiln]

it's the truth Doom and Quake 1 have show how to made a fps and quake how to made real optimise 3D and even better with Quake 2.

Painkiller is release in 2004 and it's a love letter to classic shooter like Quake 1

[noble beacon]

How did you achieve stable hashes on the enemies?

Doesn't look very stable to me

[noble beacon]

Pete provided with the latest main commit prebuilt Toolkit build @light palm

[light palm]

rtx.geometryAssetHashRuleString = indices,geometrydescriptor

not sure it actually works for replacements, didnt test much
changes the mesh hashes so existing replacements (including things like particle and weapons lights which are using mesh attachments) break
requires recapturing
captures only contain one instance of any mesh

that line might already be in dxvk.conf, commented out

[dusk jasper]

seeing that description made me do this

[robust hollow]

there are two strings for this btw

one controls replacement hashes, and the other controls geometry hashes. you should play around with both

rtx.geometryAssetHashRuleString     string     positions,indices,geometrydescriptor     Defines which hashes we need to include when sampling from replacements and doing USD capture.
rtx.geometryGenerationHashRuleString     string     positions,indices,texcoords,geometrydescriptor,vertexlayout,vertexshader     Defines which asset hashes we need to generate via the geometry processing engine.```

[north kiln]

Oh its something to subdivise 3d mesh without have to remade them from scratch at blender?

[light palm]

how did you know i was doing that just now

[vale gust]

that is the most cursed tree I have ever seen

[noble beacon]

You don't want to go near this tree

[vale gust]

those stretching textures do not help

[north kiln]

OH it's work pretty well !
it's can work for the grottos of the catacombs and the pillars of the monastary?

[light palm]

yep

[noble beacon]

Fucking poles

[north kiln]

it's will be for the 0.1.7?

[vale gust]

What happens when a Polak doesn't pay his garbage bill?

[light palm]

maybe

[vale gust]

They stop delivering.

[noble beacon]

Btw it's not possible to apply cool displacement map on the Monastery terrain because of how stretched it is

[light palm]

thats what you think

[north kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/wizzi-merp-sergal-furry-gif-19855457

[noble beacon]

Or maybe the main issue is how jaggy it is because of missed mesh normals causing heavy visual glitches when putting displacement value higher than 0.01

Could be fixed

[vale gust]

why don't we edit the UVs of the terrain in a 3d editor?

[light palm]

already did

[vale gust]

if I can see through water, why don't you do the same to Lab Commando's bowl

[noble beacon]

Because it's static

Easy to make fancy static fancies

[vale gust]

Quake, not Doom

[noble beacon]

This is without d3d9.ShaderModel = 0 in dxvk.conf

Remix understands Lab Commando's bowl shader pretty well

Performance is really bad though

[light palm]

so all you need to do david is modify the binary so that this specific shader gets passed through in hwclass tnl

[noble beacon]

A walk in the park

[vale gust]

you are telling me that specific shader is ignored when TnL is set?

are you sure it is a Pain Engine problem?

[noble beacon]

Well it's not a problem, it's just how it works

This bowl uses a shader

We need to cherry pick this specific shader cause it seems to be looking good in Remix

[light palm]

actaully never checked if it looks alright in tnl

[noble beacon]

On it

[noble beacon]

+hwclass tnl with no dxvk or anything

[vale gust]

Painkiller has specific shaders when it comes to hwclass

you should rename those nv30 to tnl to properly see if it can be rendered in tnl

you find them in Shaders/Scripts/skin.shader

or just copy what is inside shader<nv30> to shader (without <>)

to avoid bugs

[north kiln]

https://youtu.be/mORjRtNDExQ?si=opAKHb0CnymXsSgM

[noble beacon]

Couldn't get it to work

Messing with these shaders best I could do is this

[vale gust]

well, maybe it does not work in original

what if you do it in Remix?

will it show properly

[noble beacon]

No

At best it will be similar to this

[vale gust]

well, it sounds like something the TnL can't do

[noble beacon]

I also tried CTRL + H every instance of "nv20" and "nv30" to "tnl" and it's just crashing upon level load

[vale gust]

what shaderModel does more exactly

does it just trick the game into thinking it's using TnL or not

because if I just do the same trick but at Pain Engine level, I don't really solve anything

[noble beacon]

If you set it to 0, the game will fallback to shadermodel 0 mode (if it has one)

So yeah it's tricking the game

[vale gust]

I can't do anything if it does not render in TnL it just sounds like a TnL limitation

[noble beacon]

Maybe try it yourself

you can never rule out a simple skill issue

@light palm i have show where it's will be good to put the light sources in the circle corridor with the painkiller

[north kiln]

i'm curious. The Pain Engine itself is capable to use Normal Maps we see them on weapon models but is it technically capable to use Normal Maps on the environments and enemies?

[vale gust]

I have made a plugin for Maya and I can answer to this, no, maps use a different format than weapons that do not allow normal maps

Enemies use the same format as weapons, you can use it on them

[noble beacon]

Are you asking this outside of Remix discourse?

Remix allows you to apply all sorts of texture maps on any captured material you want

normal, roughness, metallic, displacement, emissive mask, you name it

[north kiln]

yes out of remix of course

[noble beacon]

[noble beacon]

Game uses a lot of lightmaps, why

[north kiln]

and for me good bake gi its important its one of my map vrchat made with unity

[north kiln]

optimisation examples my maps are desing for vr at pc its better to use bake than realtime lights

plus its use the legacy palpline of unity 2022 in dx11 we cant made realtime ray tracing in game

but bakery its a tool use path tracing to pre render the bake gi the result is nice

the realtime ray tracing stay demanding even software solution and in vr its not optimise yet

[noble beacon]

I'm having a hard time following this, ngl

[noble beacon]

Baked lighting is pretty much how the original game worked

[north kiln]

yes the bake gi are pretty nice even more than the bake gi of hl2

better shadows and diffuse light

[light palm]

i remember you asked about it, lightmaps are baked using Maya afaik

they just end up as texture files, could probably use other tools

you wanted to bake them in PainEditor i think

[light palm]

this looks super nice

[north kiln]

yes but pain dont have it plus its will be useless pk rtx bring what i have looking to do in realtime plus pbr materials and volumetric

casual RTX Remix discussions

[vale gust]

PseudoPolish reminding newbies

[noble beacon]

It's super basic actually. If you have NVIDIA App, you can download RTX Remix Toolkit from there (although it receives updates like once a year in the NVapp), or download this one:

Launch via _build/release/lightspeed.app.trex (something like that, don't remember the exact path)

You'll need to take a Capture of the game world first.
Launch the game, load the level you want, ALT+X, Enhancements, Turn every enhancement off, Capture

Then create a project in the Toolkit and open this capture

From there you can start doing your asset replacements

Open Ingestion tab and Ingest your assets there to make them valid for usage with Remix

Then pick any surface in the Viewport and apply your ingested albedo/roughness/normal/metallic/displacement etc maps

Then CTRL + S and your replacements will be shown in your game, you don't even need to install your mod or anything

This is what this thread looks like

[north kiln]

id software and bethesda have made a tribute to painkiller

they have clearly loved Painkiller

[vale gust]

I'd laugh if in Doom The Dark Ages you can interact with the environment more than you can do in Painkiller 2025

[north kiln]

i think it that point Doom the dark Ages have allready beat it.

plus compare to unreal engine 5 game doom dark ages don't have any stuttering and no any shader compilation and very very optimise and use similar technics. for the ID TECH 8 they have create their own Nanite and their own Lumen

Look like the ID TECH 8 is like to say to Unreal 5 "okey easy hold on it's like that we virtualise geometry and made software realtime global illumination without ruin the ressources of the hardware where you run"

[vale gust]

Painkiller 2025 does not stand a chance

But i dont think i can participate to the dev the light changing i have the idea like at the opera coming into the 0.1.8. The best i can do its share some assets i have can be usefull to improve the game.

Just so you know, Toolkit is a very basic piece of software with a very specific task, I've shown like 70% of what you'd be doing with it lol

[north kiln]

maybe when i will have a more fresh mind but for the moment i'm a bit overloaded in my head i'm not in state to learn a new software for the moment

[north kiln]

i have send that showcase to Adam all these assets i have buy them and i can share them with you if they can be usefull they are all in fbx

it's buy at unity but in fbx can work at any editor compatible with fbx. unreal 4/5 Source 2 and rtx remix is compatible with that format too i guess

and i have a lot of type of stone walls assets

ivy's too

they are not very highpoly but nicely details and optimise

if need i send the file with all fbx with prefabs and textures i have buy them longtime ago so no problem

[noble beacon]

I don't really know if we can use such assets

We can't allow ourselves to break any licenses if we want this mod to get properly promoted by anyone of importance

[north kiln]

i have buy them so if i want share them for a mod it's will not be a problem

PP VOICE REVEAL

Smexy AF, sound like a radio presenter

btw i read somewhere from one of the nvidia docs or peeps that it makes sense to use both inward and outward displacement

ie. in 0.01 and out 0.01 or something like that

if the displacement texture has a median or whatever of 50% height then the atual depressions and bumps should look decent

oh god ive missed a lot

time for scrolling

[leaden quest]

There was a discussion about this a few weeks ago in the #asset-creation thread. I think it was about grass textures in a San Andreas mod. I think the bottom line is it depends on the texture. For instance, if you do just inward for ground textures you can get people and objects that seem to float over the ground. (I've seen this, even in AAA games--I played a section of Star Wars: Fallen Order where the player character seemed to be floating a few inches over low patches on an arena floor.) However, relying just on positive displacement can lead to bad seams and objects clipping into each other.
@fringe tangle gave a good explanation of how the renderer uses the relationship between the negative and positive displacement settings to determine what shade of grey in the map should be treated as the baseline. As I understand it, if for instance your positive displacement is 3X your negative displacement, then the renderer will do negative for anything darker than 24% gray, and positive for anything brighter than 25% gray.
The optimum absolute magnitude of your displacement will vary for each texture, since it is calculated relative to the texture size. A 0.05 displacement, for instance, might be imperceptible on a detail texture, but disproportionately large on a texture that covers a large area (like a large rug).

[light palm]

wise words, kind mister signs!

[fringe tangle]

Correct for everything stated here.

In terms of scaling it, I like to think about it like this:

If you make a square with UV coords going from 0,0 to 1,1, and then give it an inwards displacement of 1, it will look like a cube. That will be true regardless of how large that square is.

So if your texture is tiling every 10 meters, an inwards displacement of 1 means a max depth of 10 meters. If your texture tiles every centimeter, the max depth would be 1 centimeter.

Outwards displacement works the same way.

The height map is just the range from the bottom of the inwards displacement to the top of the outwards displacement. so if you can go 0.05 units inwards, and 0.10 units outwards, your total range is just the sum of those (0.15). And the neutral value is always just the max depth (i.e. displace_in) divided by the total depth (the sum of displace_in displace_out). so 0.5 / 0.15 = 0.333...

[light palm]

working on a bunch of stuff thats not immediately visible, mostly to enable others to help with the project more easily

[vale gust]

did you figure out the dxvk's problem with windowed?

[north kiln]

it's not that when we click the windows buttom and return to the game it's crash? i remember when the demo of hl2 rtx was release it was the same

[vale gust]

it doesn't crash, it just stretches to fit the monitor's resolution instead of game's resolution

[north kiln]

but all is in 2560x1440

[noble beacon]

Don't dwell on it, it's a debugging issue

Makes no matter to you

[north kiln]

it's will be fix on a future update?

[light palm]

i stream development in the project discord

[north kiln]

i'm not on it

[light palm]

You can be, just gotta do remix modding 😉

[north kiln]

well i will wait the release of the v0.1.7

i'm no mastered rtx remix at all to do something useful to made progress the project

[light palm]

i taught someone it yesterday in like 5 minutes 😄
it's so easy

click thing you want to have better texture

browse to the texture

profit

[noble beacon]

literally me

There's not much you can do in the Toolkit really

[north kiln]

the problem is i'm slow to understand and mastered a new tool the time i really mastered it the 1.0 will be ready

[noble beacon]

Open MS Paint and click "File - Open"
then pick a picture in the explorer

Congrats you've mastered it 😄

[light palm]

hey can you link your tutorial video in the project discord @noble beacon ?

i teach my 5 year old nephew to help

all hands on deck

[noble beacon]

Also I'm in the middle of bureaucratic ass finishing my diploma and enlisting in the army rn, so someone has to work in my stead to grab that $10k bruh

Ultrabad timing

[light palm]

yep 😦

pretty hectic in my neck of the woods education wise as well, luckily no war, so thats a bonus

[noble beacon]

I expect a clearing in my life around July and that's the competition's deadline 😄

so Cmon Mora you see how we struggle making excuses for you to do our job

[north kiln]

believe me if i was capable to remade the original levels with more modern geometry details with high poly cliffs rocks trees etc...
it's will be with great pleasure

actually i will just slow you down

[noble beacon]

You can't slow down something that doesn't move

If you think we have some videogame developer studio level workflow - no

We barely talk 😄

It's all P2P work sharing made in free time with no deadlines or obligations or anything

You couldn't possibly slow it down

unless you nuke Australia

[north kiln]

i would love but i can't. i would love if i really know how to use that tool to import high poly mesh and give the polish painkiller deserve but i'm not the person you need. i have need two years to really know what i'm doing with Unity

AND they a lot of things i not mastered like his animation system

and unity have an ui pretty friendly

[noble beacon]

There's absolutely no need for you to know how the game works

You could know nothing about the game and still do texturing

Unity is 9999x times more complex than the Toolkit, cause Toolkit is a tool made for one specific task

In Unity you can do everything

[north kiln]

i even don't know how to import a fbx mesh to the toolkit of rtx remix plus if i broke something in the project i will have the responsability to have fucked up everything if i made a mistake.

[noble beacon]

The same way as with textures, just pick the tab for meshes instead of materials

Also trust me you can't fuck anything up 😄

At most Binq would need to polish your (my) shit

[noble beacon]

Faster than to texture the whole level from scratch

Well you do you, just know that contribution is VERY welcome right now

That $10k contest is no joke hey

[north kiln]

and the fbx assets i have send they cannot help?

okey i have re install rtx remix. how can i training on a work in progress level?

like ornate the catacomb walls with high poly rocks and stone walls assets?

[noble beacon]

I never checked the licenses

Also it would require to figure out how to seamlessly integrate them in the game with the collision and all (would need to recompile levels adding dummie meshes)

You'd best address this to Binq

[north kiln]

i have buy theses assets i'm free to use them how i want at any project i want at any engine.

plus i have a lot of high poly free assets of rocks and stonewalls

[noble beacon]

I'll show you how to import meshes once I'm home

Though it would not be wise to place entirely new meshes just now cause as I said we have no collision for them

They would float in space

First we would need to place dummie meshes that resemble the new geometry's shape in the game itself

Anything you see in an RTX Remix mod doesn't actually exist

It's all replaced original assets

And we don't have the original assets for your decorations as of now

I hope I explain well 😄

[north kiln]

so example i can't just place this rock to the wall of the catacomb level like a static object to upgrade the level of detail of the surfaces?

example for painkiller hell & damnation they have take the bases of the levels of the original they have ornate with better quality assets

[noble beacon]

You can, but you'll have to anchor it to some mesh we mean to replace

If you pick random mesh and place this model in some location in the world space not related to the original mesh, it won't be having collision or any interactivity at all

Cause this rock doesn't exist in the game

It's only visual

[north kiln]

we can't generate a mesh collider to an object like any engine like unity unreal or source 2?

[noble beacon]

Let me put this simple: If you want to place this supercool detailed rock in the game, you would need at least a cube of game's original geometry in that very spot in the world space

If there's nothing in the original game, you can't put anything there

Cause it would float

Well actually if the details are very small, it would make no difference

Not everything must have to have collision

[north kiln]

that sofa for example. at the level of the prison i can't remove the old low poly sofa to place this one at the same place?

[noble beacon]

You absolutely can

Just gotta make sure that the new mesh is of the same size as the old one

So that player wouldn't clip through it

[noble beacon]

You can scale it in the Toolkit once you import it

[north kiln]

plus the licence of free assets i have give the green light to be use

okey...i do want made a try at the level of the prison with that sofa to begin and see how its work but i do not made any promise to made any miracle

[noble beacon]

Sure thing

[north kiln]

for volumetric light it's work with "cube" with volume shader like for blender?

i will show you how it's work with blender

like this

[noble beacon]

It uses the proprietary RTX Volumetrics tech

[north kiln]

it's really push my nerves how i'm suppose to work on a scene if i see nothing...

[leaden quest]

I've found the "Camera Light" really helps me get my bearings in dark areas, until I can start putting up some stage lights.

[north kiln]

just to open the scene it's a mess...

[noble beacon]

Give me a minute

[noble beacon]

You can either use the "Camera Light" light preset in the upper right corner of the viewport or make the sky texture very emissive and hide all the stuff that obstructs the light

@north kiln
https://youtu.be/esRXvZ92VH0

Mesh replacement

no mic this time, but absolutely swag repetition recordings

[north kiln]

ok i made a last try

[noble beacon]

Btw I believe you can simply enter original meshes' coordinates to put the new one in place without having to drag the new one through half the world

[noble beacon]

Also my project folder starts with "A" cause RTX Remix loads mods in a way that the first loaded mod has the priority over the following mods

This way whatever changes I make won't get overridden by any other mods

And as soon as you hit CTRL+S you can load the game to observe the results

[north kiln]

i...i'm sincerly sorry but i it's put my nerves too much far away...i can't help i'm not the person you need to help for this project.

[noble beacon]

[north kiln]

?

[noble beacon]

Nevermind 😄

[north kiln]

but i'm really sorry. i can't help the way to open a scene arrive to made me angry like any other editor have arrive to do ( and i have work on unreal engine 2 ) and i'm lost with his ui.

sorry i can't join the team i can't help. but i wish you good luck all i can do it's support and showcase. i hope Painkiller RTX will be selected and you will win and the project became official and publish at steam.

[noble beacon]

Pro-tip: you can pause the game by hitting "P". That way the screenshot be much cleaner due to the lack of Pathtracers' temporal glitches

Also please use OBS for taking screenshots, it's using lossless PNG format

[north kiln]

i will try next time with obs

[noble beacon]

[north kiln]

i have use OBS this time ideed the images are better

[noble beacon]

That Cemetery Cross room where you used painkiller's head as a lantern is crazy, I did the same thing

Also using Electrodriver

One of those places where the game gains so much character

if you could break something i would give you a medal lol
everythings so simple in the textures and models department that any hiccups are a 5 second fix, just a edit in a text file
plus everythings backed up
plus, breaking stuff is my job

[light palm]

nah not that hard at all, just place the new meshes in approximately the same place and all good

[light palm]

oh yeah looks like u already got it 🙂

Zombie people can fly? 😄

i love how the game actually spawns the muzzle flash far away,
in that screenshot you can see the mussle flash is about as far away as the zombie is

We agree when Painkiller was in project the person have said

"Hey people i have an idea why not use the physics engine Havok to made our maps more dynamics and adding ragdolls to the dead enemies it's will be better than pre render animation in my opinion"

did a pre-render physic fluids simulation can be use for new blood splat effect?

I wrote about my logo not being used in a laughing manner

Because otherwise i'll be a total jerk

Anyway, glad to see this project getting DF's attention, even if it got lost a bit of reputation for me after Threat Interactive, but DF's attention = attention to a mod itself

[noble beacon]

[fierce iris]

Hey guys, first time using this mod (cause of the DF video). I wanted to know some things. First, about the hud, do I need to use the Widescreen HUD Fix? Cause its broken in 4k

Also, for borderless, how can I change the game so its not fullscreen? Cause specialk ain't loading with remix

[dusk jasper]

Bruh x2

Yeah, i saw his "hate" on NFS 2015 and Days Gone, you tell me

[noble beacon]

Hey! All the necessary fixes are packaged with the mod. The default applied HUD fix is for 1080p

So you have to apply the 4K one

[vale gust]

Borderless is not a thing in 0.1.6, I have developed a patch that is to be featured in 0.1.7

[fierce iris]

Yh, I just realized 🤦‍♂️. I went to pcgamingwiki first before looking at the files

But thanks!

[fierce iris]

what about my lonely comment in there, will it get heart

[north kiln]

don't disvalue yourself.

it's can be a good idea to include your logo on the shotgun as ornate normal map

[dusk jasper]

That would be funny

And a way to immortalize logo inside mod while not being on loading screen

[north kiln]

@noble beacon the logo as normal map decoration on the canon of the shotgun?

[noble beacon]

Why not

I mean, have fun

that's what Binq told me long ago

the project is so easily tweakable

Shotgun normal map

[north kiln]

can you send me in a format can be readable by pain i can add the logo on the canon zone?

[noble beacon]

By Remix you mean
This file is taken from the mod's files

[north kiln]

because with pain i can add the image of the logo at the canon zone and re convert into a normal map

there

[noble beacon]

I'm not quite sure what you're asking 😄

You can't edit this file?

[north kiln]

the albedo texture i can add the logo of Yosuke and i reconvert the texture into a normal map with his logo in relief

the texture of the shotgun

[noble beacon]

Ah

[north kiln]

can you convert it into png or a format paint can read?

[noble beacon]

There's not much you can do in Paint hey

There's GIMP or Paint.Net

Perhaps splitting the mod in 6 parts was a mistake

People will NOT follow installation instructions

[vale gust]

now it makes sense

maybe you should package Chapter 1 with base or something

or put an in-game warning if the user has no chapter

[noble beacon]

It would be ideal to have some sort of downloader, where one could pick their resolution and chapters they want

At first glance it looks like someone didn't follow installation instructions as well
Though if it comes and goes, it's weird

[odd thicket]

They just dropped Claude sonnet 4 as well

[robust hollow]

yeah. it's not as good as i'd hoped

but better than 3.5 finally

3.7 sucked imo

[vale gust]

we do?

[light palm]

yea

[vale gust]

then why are we not doing them, there are many complaints about it

[light palm]

like modifying the view and portal frustums such that instead of being disabled completely, they become a sphere around the player

[light palm]

challenging to do

ie. maintain "distance" culling

[vale gust]

that's not a frustum, that's a sphere

[light palm]

i believe the frustum "depth" is set based on the "view distance"?

[vale gust]

are there other optimizations that are not related to culling

[light palm]

the frustum math is very much non-spherical 😄

particles

various other things such as ensuring lights are not intersecting with geometry

it is mostly the culling though

[vale gust]

and how would this culling make it better, if we are in a basement and the only light source comes from a door 2m away

[light palm]

i managed to do more targeted edits to disable various culling elements

[vale gust]

wouldn't looking away from it make the entire room pitch black

[light palm]

it's a trade off

but at the moment we render the entire level each frame, which is great for captures

but overkill in some scenarios

for example, we could render everything in the current zone and attached zones, and use the portal occlusion for zones after that

the recursive portal walk algorithm may let us do this, requires some cleverness though

[vale gust]

don't we have portal occlusion already?

[light palm]

no

there is zero occlusion

in the public build

i have some things cooking

portal walk things

[vale gust]

haven't I made a .dll that has portal occlusion in it, how is it different from what you are cooking now

[light palm]

because the first iteration of portal walk is too aggressive

so we need to disabled just that iteration effectively

the engine calculates a frustum through the portal

kinda cool

[vale gust]

and you say this will be the big optimization, while the others will be just minor?

[light palm]

also that does not help us with the distance based culling, ie. far plane of the view frustum

the real challenge is how to maintain the far plane of the view frustum without culling things outside the view of the player

i believe a combination of implementing far plane culling and 2nd iteration portal walk culling would do quite a lot while not causing too many visual issues

[vale gust]

so if these do not improve the performance a lot, we are cooked?

[light palm]

we would do more of that looking at resource usage and ms times of various processes and memory usage and determine what is using them

profiling

remix has this functionality

and i have tested the culling on off thing

the performance difference is extreme in a great many cases

there is always the good old fashioned method of using pained zones to spawn parts of the level based on player location

hand rolled culling

[vale gust]

spawning items when they should be spawned would help with performance

[light palm]

some levels I have used disc lights when sphere lights would suffice too

theres some to gain there

[vale gust]

those yellow souls and mega souls being spawned at all times hampers the performance

[light palm]

swamp for example

[vale gust]

or rotating armor that cast shadow

[light palm]

and once I fix the sky, distant lights should work, removing the need for other lights

[vale gust]

wasn't I supposed to fix the sky

[noble beacon]

I argued a bit with TranZit some time ago, seems like he's hostile now 😄

[vale gust]

how did you argue?

[noble beacon]

He accused me of embracing the "lazy devs" approach that do 0 optimization in their games. He was arguing that nobody needs that visual fidelity if it doesn't perform well.

I politely told him, that he has no idea what he is talking about

telling a PK modder he has no idea about something is like insulting them on highest degree

[noble beacon]

Outside of PK's usual scope

People struggle to comprehend that it is not supposed to perform well on the current low-mid end hardware

I am friends with him and I have also helped him with his Lost Alpha mod, if you guys want, I can talk to him

[noble beacon]

Naah,

perhaps it's just his honest opinion

[noble beacon]

No longer stalling the only thread causing the app not to respond

And there's a progress bar now

Seems to be complete now
