i ran out of tokens before pointing it to dx9 right

Should I test it on wolfenstein to see if it hooks?

one day i'll have a DX12 to DX9 wrapper

that's awesome

yeah that one straight up isn't really feasible
even if it worked, performance would be horrible

only way is to convert dx12 shader code to dx9 somehow

if it crashes its likely to unmapped errors in the logs
i need to fix that

Its unrealistic to completely rely on xoxor to do everything for us
After all, he's human and you can't expect him to make a compatibility mod for every game
Especially for games he does not enjoy
Xoxor's compatibility mods are really great and have very useful features
rose oasis
yes
but i feel bad that it pushed him out of doing it

so it did find remix i just need to fix this error
wolfenstein the new order
the wrapper didnt load with dx9 because i tried @rose oasis fork
nevermind it didnt load for quake 4
i might need the newer versions to connect to dx9
ah
theres an asertion error
next month i fix
so it hooks with a itchio game so far from 2009
but theres a remix error [19:51:25.895] err: [37] common device objects were not disposed of.

No smoking gun in kiro yet

Trying Claude again an it's immediately talking about DSfix is enabled even though it isn't just cause it found a readme somewhere

No one can gaslight me into thinking Claude isn't dumb
Bro and now it's talking about how DSFix might mean the fixes we did, not the mod it was just talking about
rose oasis
π there is something seriously wrong with your setup for Claude for it to be doing that bad
either a bad memory was saved, the extension in your IDE isn't working well, etc.
something is borked
i can't even get haiku to do that bad

If it's any consolation, I was very happy when I saw you mentioning this PR a few days back. I was looking into HaloCE's decal handling code, and I was wondering if the data can simply be pushed to remix without modifying the VertexBuffer.. the trouble is that the UVs are is a 'special' format. But using your changes I now think I can add that format to Remix easily. So thank you very much for this contribution π«

Ugh, fixed world positions didn't fix lights in Dark Souls. They still move when the camera turns or moves
sharp seal
One of your camera matrices is being passed to remix incorrectly
check if there are any identity matrices, iirc they cause remix to think that either world/view matrix is static so all lights are positioned according to view (at least what the AI told me, which idk if it pulled this information out of its ass or not lmao)

Some things you just should do yourself. Like trying to get the AI to package Q2RTX and it moved files out of the base folder rather than copy them
Breaking the original working build

I did that too but after a while it just stops doing it
The instructions also are not always adhered to

Now I'm making further adjustments to the dang NV Flow integration of Q2 RTX rather than just uploading it like I wanted to
vagrant kernel
Ok, just had to make it so that the effect didn't just get stuck under slanted walls. (It will probably still get stuck under slanted walls)
Should be a simple drop in for the Steam version. Ray Reconstruction is in but doesn't really seem to do anything and makes the Flow effect look wrong so keep it off.
Quake 2 RTX Nvidia Flow experiment
More info in the readme
vagrant kernel
Hmm, seems like the render targets that are messing things up in Dark Souls when nulled are the ones handling character shadows and DoF in the original game. 
Maybe it's worth trying to disable those effects further down in the game code rather than skipping the RT.

Unpack the textures, take a capture, ask the ai to hash the unpacked textures based on remixes algo (point at source code) then have it compare against the captured textures. Tell it how to find normal, specular in relation to diffuse and it properly convert/injest and should be able to just create a pbr mod for you

it's just that damn initial load whenever you fast travel somewhere. it takes like 10 seconds to all of the assets to load in

dont take this the wrong way, but i would've preferred for the wrapper to handle all of the terrain/mesh loading instead of respecting the game. I'd also get rid of LODs and find a way to keep the highest quality meshes loaded since remix doesn't usually get bogged down by that.

yeah no
im js tryna get it fully fixed function+culling dissabled+some effects fixed

Ah right yeah culling was an issue

yes
now imagine it with working shader effects n such
without replacements
as well as better normals than js smooth normals
as well as being able to actually get replacements workin
idk if they do or dont but assuming its a shader game

8 days ill continue fixing path tracing and doing hash calls
i just realized something
but nintendo took those emulators down
and yes this all wraps to dx9
with all gl versions including mesa
and dxvk fixes
once its properly fixed. which should be simple. it should work with any game that uses opengl
1 to 4.6

Try not to attach logs. They can be huge and count towards prompt length. Give it the locations of the files and tell it to look. It'll see that the file is huge and read chunks on its own.

These logs are not over 32mb when combined, yet it thinks it is, good 10mb space before. Anyhow yeah, they nerfed the shit out of Claude Code

I have a suspicion the AI is gaslighting you, you told it to output to DX9, so it renders opengl via Mesa software renderer, takes the output image and send it to remix via DX9
