Vibe Reverse Engineering Toolset

[golden raven]

Alpha tested is fine for watever reason

It's always the small, tiny issues.

[rose oasis]

😔

barnyard has the same issue if that's the case. even with the full FFP conversion this still happens

so frustrating

i wish i had a solution for ya

[golden raven]

For some reason it's stable without remix.

[crimson yacht]

nevermind antigravity is goated (it sucks and I hate it)

[golden raven]

god

its just one bug

plssssssss

[vagrant kernel]

Vibe coding UI issues be like

[muted sun]

@vagrant kernel remix plus has my auto exposure stuff now fyi

sparkles seems to really like it

[golden raven]

[vagrant kernel]

Nice, I'll definitely test it out

[vagrant kernel]

These are some blue ass shadows

Pulling 575W playing a PS1 game

[rare needle]

Well duh, you have blue ass sky

[muted sun]

the shadows are more saturated than the sky lol

[bright roost]

Trying to fix alpha blending?

[golden raven]

Yes

[dull swallow]

WEVE GOT IT

we went around studying map after map and we finally realize what causes this, any object that gets grouped up as a model in the studio itself gets turned into this megatexture

Ahahahahahahaha

[alpine dove]

whats ur fps?

[dull swallow]

@crystal kiln curious on if you can find any better implication ideas for this tho, js to know (for reference before using this modification if you selected one texture you selected all textures with the coorosponding color/all meshes in a given scene

[dull swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/bwoy-gif-21230330

it matches up

however ungrouping it doesnt just fix it sadly

[bright ermine]

nostalgia 🥲

i remember messing with roblox studio in 2009

[dull swallow]

samesies

we still do build with the 2008 studio client

if you remember sponza

[crimson yacht]

unc how old are you 😭 do you still have hair on yo head

[bright ermine]

24 🥲

[dull swallow]

reminding yall of this we built from scratch

[crimson yacht]

one foot in the grave 😭

[dull swallow]

new proposition, its because the bricks are copy/pasted maybe...? still testing

[dull swallow]

we should really build something again

[bright ermine]

two when i turn 25 in a few months

by the time ur that age ur basically 100 dont u know /s

[crimson yacht]

I assume youve got your estate in order by this point

[crimson yacht]

cr do you have any chips or fries

[bright ermine]

both

[crimson yacht]

Are you aiming for heart failure or natural causes at this point (The joke is that youre so old youre already turning into dust if you didnt get it already)

[bright ermine]

(omg no i didnt get the joke haha omg ty sm for reminding me )

[crimson yacht]

CR did you know youre old 👴 LOL!!!!!!

[dull swallow]

Aabb for this specific texture, everything else separated properly but this one refuses to (better than before when nothing was seperate)

Its like an atlyss

[bright ermine]

Atlyss?

🤨

iykuk

[bright ermine]

so are the textures actually all in one atlas texture or just submitted to remix that way

[dull swallow]

they have both a seperate and same atlas

which is why we are confused

some use seperate textures which we easily breesed by and fixed with aabb

so we dunno what to really ask the ai to do

[bright ermine]

isolate what rendering path that material comes from?

[dull swallow]

true

and ig itd js be the same process after that

[crystal kiln]

Hi!
Sorry, I'm just parachuting in the convo 🪂 😅
What is it you're talking about? Is it the texture selection outlines/grayscale overlay? What about them?

Most likely ray continuation skipping the surface when discarding the transparent plane on top of it. If you have overlaping planes that would usually z-fight in raster, rays will discard the transparent region from the cutout texture, add a tiny bias and continue the ray. This so happens that the bias misses the actual grass plane in behind the transparent quad too.
Solves if you tag them as decal_Static 🙂

[candid mirage]

Hm, in this case Im intercepting geometry calls from GL and reconstructing into Remix in a seperate window/runtime. So I cant individually tag.

[dull swallow]

nono, basically old roblox used to have 1 (one) texture for everything of a specific color, that was colored in, we made it to where it just has seperate textures for each individual meshwe dk if you have any ideas for it that mayyy be better than that or if thats just the best option

[crystal kiln]

Hmm interesting. I guess it will depend whether the textures will have stable hashes for you to replace. A better approach would be if you could make the game use the same white texture for all and use vertex colors to tint the objects, but assuming the game was alreayd authored using colored textures from a trimsheet, it might not be an easy change to "find out" what was the object's intended color to convert to vertex colors.

[crystal kiln]

I see it repeats the same green textures as if they were different so I'm assuming the same texture != same hash

[dull swallow]

yeah its making a custom texture each time before sending it off to remix

[quaint kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/so-old-gif-27277116

[dull swallow]

(only downside is that any mesh with the same shape and size share a texture still but those are few and far in between, mostly for like, windows etc)

[quaint kelp]

have you tried any of the mmorpg games made in roblox?

[dull swallow]

those are too modern

[quaint kelp]

dang

[dull swallow]

this is 2009

-2008

[quaint kelp]

no possible way to make it hook to new with a proxy?

[dull swallow]

to what, 2026-2020?

[quaint kelp]

ye

[dull swallow]

without getting banned? no

[quaint kelp]

aw

fair enough

[candid mirage]

Does Roblox have an anti-cheat?

[quaint kelp]

ye

[crimson yacht]

One must simply
Not care for the safety of their account

[dull swallow]

oh yeah

[quaint kelp]

eac

[dull swallow]

you mean my account that ive loaded a ton of money into since 2018?

[crimson yacht]

Its called byfron or somem crap

[quaint kelp]

make a fake account but they put that identity garbo in

[crimson yacht]

Or thats the company they get the anti cheat from

[dull swallow]

Hyperion

[crimson yacht]

I was more thinking my account that I loaded a ton ofi money into since 2017

[dull swallow]

is the anti cheat

[quaint kelp]

never heard of that anti cheat

only know of eac and battle eye

[dull swallow]

Hyperion was made specifically for roblox

[crimson yacht]

Yeah its not very good IIRC the dip in hackers at the time they implemented that was due to them litterally hiring the developers of KRNL and so they shut down lol

[dull swallow]

yeah

Hyperion is kernel level iirc

ring 3 for what that matters

so unless some launcher picks it up and de-acs it its not gonna be possible any time soon

2019 AT MOST

[crimson yacht]

Well you wouldnt know it!

😭 noooo

[dull swallow]

Turned into bread

[crimson yacht]

I enjoy how literally none of the latest llms understand that just because shaders arent skipped doesnt mean it will just render as rasterized over everything else

I also like how they obviously lobotomized Gemini 3.1 pro
I wonder if thats to make 3.5 look better

Can't find the bug

Well I found it.

It looks like the W jitters ever so slightly. Not enough to cause problems

But by the time it gets to remix, everything is multiplied

I don't get it

[golden raven]

Okay I think I know what I have to do

Instead of trying to port the whole shader version to ffp

I'll port the specific features missing from the ffp version back

Damn, seems like the Wipeout Rewrite guy never provided a compiled release. Don't want to step on anyones toes by putting out compiled versions willy nilly. Might be another Discord upload release from me

Does it really need to dry a river to address this

[crimson yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/future-squidward-spongebob-gif-4767609

[rose oasis]

it likely has a secondary security model that censors the prompt

[golden raven]

Correct. Gemini uses a lightweight output classifier which cancells a gen mid-run if triggered

[crimson yacht]

Well I definitely am believing it

[golden raven]

And ➛ breaks it

Not in prompt

But if you send this as a postfill, the classifier will give up

Gemini's built in safety features are easily jailbroken via a prefil

What's the task though, if it's taking that long then something's not right

[quaint kelp]

yea usually claude hangs . you need to stop and tell it to try again

[golden raven]

[solemn epoch]

Bro asked Claude how many Rs is there in Strawberry

[quaint kelp]

lol

https://tenor.com/view/turtle-turtleday-strawberry-gif-5480879

or are you afraid it might let you wait 12 hours again

[pine coral]

Been noticing Claude doing that nonsense a lot this weekend really. data center hamsters must be tired or some shiit.

[bright ermine]

gpt 5.4 somehow is still good

been using it for almost 2 months entirely

[quaint kelp]

might have to swap

claude be gaslighting

wish i had a project last time i had one was elder scrolls oblivion. im rusty af

and im done with that game because remastered came out

[solemn epoch]

GPT 5.5 in Codex is even better

It is the answer to everything now

[bright ermine]

but the cost 🥀

[quaint kelp]

isnt codex sub based on usage now?

[solemn epoch]

I give it a Painkiller binary and ask absolutely random question and it just knows

Always

[bright ermine]

5.4 is so cheap

[quaint kelp]

how goes that level editor

[solemn epoch]

I'm documenting Engine LUA functions now

[quaint kelp]

ah

[solemn epoch]

I'm yet to hit limits on the $100 sub

[bright ermine]

i guess its just more costly on vscode copilot

[quaint kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/empty-gif-18991101

[solemn epoch]

Copilot is done for

Codex is the way now

For now

[bright ermine]

ill give 5.5 codex a try whenever they gimp 5.4 because its the last bastion for me to stay on copilot

[quaint kelp]

had to unsub from kiro cause it only had claude

[bright ermine]

also i'd prefer to use a familar IDE

[solemn epoch]

They have VS extension

[bright ermine]

ah nice

[quaint kelp]

thats good

next month i need to get a few ps2 games i can reverse engineer

maybe get ps1 crash bandicoot

or crash team racing because bandicoot has pc remaster now

[solemn epoch]

They also constantly reset week limits for some reason

Like, they reset the limits 3 times last week

[quaint kelp]

does it cost when they reset?

[solemn epoch]

No, I don't know what kind of good faith is this lol

[quaint kelp]

maybe it stay that way

[pine coral]

have not tried codex yet but I prob will . Kiro has been treating Me good though all said.

[sharp seal]

Is it GPT 5.5 or 5.5 Codex

Last time I remember I was using codex 5.3 for developing camera proxy

I wonder how much it has improved since February

[solemn epoch]

GPT 5.5

There will likely not be any more standalone Codex models

[quaint kelp]

did anyone take your camera proxy and continue?

[solemn epoch]

GPT 5.5 just incorporates it

[sharp seal]

nah, AI tools are probably much better for game specific compatibilities

[quaint kelp]

that widget was cool though for camera finding

maybe sparkles can incorp to remix plus

for the remix ui

[sharp seal]

It needs a more methodical approach if it has to be used more universally

even if it's just for checking out game shaders and classifying them

[quaint kelp]

beats making matrix and cam logs though

those logs can get massive

i had a 4gb log once

notepad ++ didnt wana register it

god can it be the first yet so i can do things

i hate using ai free edition

Wth is codex

[solemn epoch]

Claude Code but GPT

[vital dew]

Through VSCode or??

[solemn epoch]

They have an extension for VSCode

Haven't tried the extension myself yet, cuz I've been mainly using it for disassembling and research purposes

http://xdavidxtreme.pkeuro.nl/docs/frames.html?frmname=topic&frmfile=index.html

Every single Engine LUA function with parameters, returns and their defaults. Retrieved from Engine.dll by GPT

This would take years and years for a person to do

[rare needle]

My first one!

[pine coral]

lmao

think they lobotomized Claude this weekend or something 😂

[crimson yacht]

Everything has been lobotomized 10 times in the last month, nothing is good anymore except Opus

everything has turned into GPT 3 or grok, useless

Now trying to figure out how to get the static effect I made for Manhunt to display because the scenes in-game are 2D without camera, so post-FX don't apply

[solemn epoch]

create fake camera programmatically via API

[vagrant kernel]

Yeah, that's what I'm doing right now. Just gotta figure out how to detect the noise effect running

[solemn epoch]

Can you just spawn camera whenever there's no camera

[vagrant kernel]

That makes weird map geometry show up in menus

[solemn epoch]

just pretend it was your vision

[sharp seal]

The day someone achieves path tracing on GTA 5 using remix, all the world problems will be solved

He was drinking glow stick juice

[vagrant kernel]

Here's what the old noise looked like

Was it worth putting multiple hours into something that maybe is on screen for a cumulative 10 seconds over the course of a full playthrough? maybe not but the vibe coder doesn't care about that

Btw this is what's going on underneath the effect now

Kinda creepy

Placeholder texture staring you in the face and you don't even know it

I should make it so that there is a small percentage chance that it'll be a enemy face staring at you close up randomly instead of the noise effect

[dull swallow]

gave it one prompt sob

heart gpt

tadaaaaaa

its not very performant

really

it took 3 prompts to kill the daily usage

what is gpt on today folks

Only 5 more days till I gotta figure out where to go after Copilot

[solemn epoch]

[solemn epoch]

Yeah they give you nothing in Codex for $20

[dull swallow]

welp

cant afford the next tier up

unfortunate

[dull swallow]

200 clams actually

[bright roost]

Ill be honest, i dont miss the crowd

[rose oasis]

[quaint kelp]

hey @rose oasis is there anything left to do for renderdoc and vibetools as whole? noticed there wasn't no updates for it in a while

[rose oasis]

renderdoc dx9 fork could use some more work. that's why i left the PR open. it's inconsistent and doesn't always work

but i don't have time or interest to continue working on renderdoc

vibe tools themselves are solid. i can't think of anything else to add. the FFP wrapper template is pretty much complete at this point too

[ember sundial]

can this remove securrom from games

asking for a friend

idk if this constitutes as piracy

[rose oasis]

it would

[ember sundial]

shit

it's not even securrom thats the issue i think

its either that or a antidebugger

[rose oasis]

most LLMs will refuse to help with it too because of that

[rose oasis]

annoyingly common

[ember sundial]

bruuuh

alright

ill look into it a bit more

[solemn epoch]

I tried removing SecuROM 7 using GPT 5.4 and Opus 4.6 not that long ago. Both failed

[muted sun]

how does one get lights working with a wrapper for a shader based game?

-# this is with the built in fixed function mode

[crimson yacht]

ask grok

[muted sun]

@rose oasis 🙏

[rose oasis]

the FFP wrapper comes with some documentation for it i believe

the LLM should be able to find it

lemme check

[crystal kiln]

It is common for shaders to declare an uniform global buffer of lights that can be bound in the shader to render, so the shader code just loops all bound lights and render. It is an array, meaning it has a fixed size, and one of the reasons some games expose a "Max Lights" quality settings.
@rose oasis's wrapper might streamline a lot of it but I assume you still need to interpret the lights format from the OG game

[rose oasis]

okay apparently not, but it's pretty easy. you can look at my FNV code as an example: https://github.com/Kim2091/Remix-Wrappers/tree/main/FalloutNV-Remix-Wrapper

[rose oasis]

the wrapper for this part was carried over from xoxor's stuff. it's essentially just template code for getting API lights to work. i don't remember changing much of it. LLMs find it very easy to work with though

i regret not making more extensive docs for this stuff

[muted sun]

hopefully the llm chews through it quickly 🙏

no. we had moving plans before but they continuously fell through

the pronunciation doesn't make much sense. psuedo meant the whole world thinks the pronunciation is dumb

[crimson yacht]

Ar Can Sas

[quaint kelp]

Not my fault I was born here

[rose oasis]

i wanna move to canada

[quaint kelp]

Some people say ar-kansas

[quaint kelp]

I Wana move to Tokyo Japan

Although language barrier

[solemn epoch]

Edinburgh US and Edinburgh UK are pronounced differently btw

[quaint kelp]

Many dialects everywhere

[solemn epoch]

UK Edinburgh (and all nothern places ending with -burgh) are pronounced bur-oh

/ˈed.ɪn.bɚ.ə/

[quaint kelp]

Interesting

[solemn epoch]

I wanna move to Poland

It's on my doorstep (I live 5km away from Polish border) and has bright future

[quaint kelp]

I have been wanting to move to Germany but that's a fantasy

[solemn epoch]

It's different from Western European countries in that sense. Poles are generally confident that they are moving in the right direction all things considered

Meanwhile bros in UK are Germany are always depressed

[quaint kelp]

How come

[solemn epoch]

Decades long economical stagnation

[quaint kelp]

Figures

[solemn epoch]

the UK still hasnt recovered from the 2008 crisis

[quaint kelp]

Maybe one day they will recover

[solemn epoch]

Germany deprecated all their power plants that were vital for the economy, that's a national wide argument

[muted sun]

lmaoooo

[solemn epoch]

Everyone in Germany has something to say bout that

[quaint kelp]

Gun doing that?

[muted sun]

yeah

[golden raven]

okay well... why does this make me feel hollow?

[rose oasis]

you spent a long time on it and it's over now, so you feel like there's nothing left

[golden raven]

Actually I was fucking kidding and I have so many more ideas with the remix api

heheheh

[quaint kelp]

Way to darken the mood jk

[rose oasis]

i actually feel like that tho

[quaint kelp]

Same situation when I was overwhelmed with the dx11 project. But I'm picking it back up after surgery

Sparkles can I implement some stuff from remix plus?

[rose oasis]

sure

[quaint kelp]

Okey I'll do it when I'm recovering

[golden raven]

Okay I'm gonna try this in my actual production build

With the replaccements and shit

[quaint kelp]

Cross fingers

So far gpt 5.5 is good so I might sub to it

[ember sundial]

just to check in

what lmls are yall using

cursor vscode claude or kiro

[solemn epoch]

Codex

[ember sundial]

Wat

is this the best rn?

[quaint kelp]

So far gpt

[solemn epoch]

I'm on $100 sub and it works for me

[ember sundial]

Wait

Money...

Booo...

[quaint kelp]

20 usd work good?

[solemn epoch]

Weekly limits are generous, so far

[solemn epoch]

No

[quaint kelp]

Meh

I'll think about it

Anything else that has the gpt module

[golden raven]

Woah

Gotta fix the textures.

[ember sundial]

uncle what're you using

[golden raven]

Skinned pedestrians

We didn't have them before

[ember sundial]

what ai agent

[golden raven]

claudio

[dull swallow]

Fully ff game? Or partial shaders still

[golden raven]

Fully ff

[dull swallow]

Suprised the hashes carried over

[golden raven]

Instead of fighting with the shader mode, I decided to force enable peds and then turn them into ff

[golden raven]

No, I was using the ff mode before

It's built in

It just gets rid of the pedestrians.

[dull swallow]

Ah

[ember sundial]

the ai has deadass just been doing shit for like

30 mins

nothing changed

rofl

[rose oasis]

i have 4 claude chats running at once

[rare needle]

PRODUCTIVITY

Though about that myself, but always was vary about stuff messing up if more than one chat works on the project at once

[rose oasis]

oh it's all different projects

yeah def don't run multiple for one thing

[rare needle]

Yeeeah

Should stay modest then)

[rose oasis]

one is implementing roughness maps for FNV, another is cleaning up and squashing commits for remix plus, another is cleaning up some commits for a separate project, then one more is troubleshooting sky + cloud color issues in remix plus

[rare needle]

It just feels wrong to ask a question, wait 15 minutes, ask another...

Too much idling

Need to optimize

[rose oasis]

😆

[bright ermine]

i hope it's nowhere near chicago

😨

[rose oasis]

about an hour away

why's that

[bright ermine]

idk its basically crime city

[rose oasis]

depends a lot on the area i think

my family has lived in illinois for decades and rarely had an issue with crime stuffs

[bright ermine]

stay safe 🙏

[muted sun]

garry is what you have to worry about :p

[rose oasis]

🙏 i hope it'll all be okay

[muted sun]

chicago is fine

[rose oasis]

if i die from trying to improve my life, i will be very very sad

[candid mirage]

Southern states have worse cities anyhow terms of crime (just doesnt get national attention)

[rose oasis]

i lived in very rough areas for most of my life

[muted sun]

okay this is peak 🙏

[rose oasis]

guh

[crimson yacht]

You should use the DARK SOULS METHOD TM to get normals working

[rose oasis]

i'll just need to invest in self defense

[muted sun]

does that work for bump maps?
game doesn't use normal maps

[rose oasis]

i want to live in washington, near seattle. but it's not likely to happen

[candid mirage]

Likely like the third priciest city in the country behind NYC

[rose oasis]

tbh i'd recommend using the method i'm using (based on xoxor's gta 4 method). custom runtime that interprets the original game's maps in real time

it's just so much easier

i tried the other method for FNV first but it didn't go as smoothly as i wanted. additionally this prevents you from having to pack in all of the assets as a remix mod if distributing it

[crimson yacht]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
If its possible to convert them to normals you could easily do that automatically with something like Chainner before making the usda file

Shh

[dull swallow]

anyone have an idea what may cause this issue?

[rose oasis]

[dull swallow]

its like it hangs but doesnt

oops

that didnt record

all

basically we cant interact with remix in any way, and once we alt tab the window dissapears

[rose oasis]

it's a window management issue. easy to fix. you can point claude at my FO4 repo and tell it to copy the window handling code from it

[dull swallow]

is that the issue with it hanging too

[ember sundial]

my game will not launch in any shader mode but 3

Broooooooooooooooooooooooo

https://giphy.com/gifs/depression-13t22jOjxpkAN2

damn tried to hook the mission headers for the Halo CE to change the sky per mission but I can't get it to work

🫠

[vagrant kernel]

Did you do static analysis of the exe? That's how I got it to work with Dark Souls which does some weird array stuff for area names

[muted sun]

I actually managed to hook it in the right spot but I haven't been able to figure out how to update settings on the remix side lol

[vagrant kernel]

I personally implemented a "level options" feature in my runtime that generates conf files based on levels and you can adjust them. It works with an asi patch that writes the current level ID to a file and RTX Remix then reads that and loads/generates configs. Could maybe be integrated a bit neater but it works.

[muted sun]

could I see the code for that?

[vagrant kernel]

I'd have to see about code, sadly I don't have clean commits for that stuff, I implemented it fairly early on where I just yolo'd it

Here's everything for the scene monitor asi plugin

Here I've told the AI to pick out the changes for the scene overlay feature. You could try pointing AI at it to implement it to a local test runtime

#1481706093976621277 message Here's an explanation of how it works from when I first implemented it

[muted sun]

Been trying to implement light portals, inspired by DS2 Lighting Engine. Guess it's working but not as solid as in DS2 yet where you can use it to light indoor scenes by increasing sampling in those areas.

[alpine dove]

ds2 lighting engine ❤️

[dull swallow]

Is this just like

Emissives or whar

[vagrant kernel]

It should be something like this

Right now it's still kind of light source esque

[dull swallow]

Oooh

[vagrant kernel]

In typical AI fashion it loves to either make it worse or break the implementation all together ❤️

[muted sun]

Ai has come to a massive realisation after it asked me for permission and then kept doing nothing

[candid mirage]

https://klipy.com/gifs/ok-20293

[naive kindle]

Yes 😆 It does have a wealth of knowledge from the training dataset, and my years of experience as a sw developer gave me a good BS meter. For 5.3 € a month, I'm really happy with it (even with the Flash model, since the token reductions for Pro -guh).
I can't recommend it to others, because I usually modify the code it gives me.. It's not stupid by any means, it just lacks the overview, strangely enough.

[solemn epoch]

Oh definitely, a hardened BS meter must be helping a lot. I'm thinking about it from time to time - what heights could be achieved if I was actually deeply involved in the process

[vagrant kernel]

Love it when the AIs "i swear I didn't do the thing you told me not to do" phrasing gets hard coded into UI

[vagrant kernel]

Spending my last days of AI juice on fixing the Manhunt noise effect that's on screen for milliseconds

[rose oasis]

biggest thing 4.6 used to do lmao

[distant tendon]

Is it possible for certain games to have undetectable cameras?

Ive seen people do a "fake camera" solution, so I'm not really sure if I should keep looking for one or just inject a fake/custom camera

[sharp seal]

fake camera is a temporary solution to achieve path tracing and even then it's not accurate because of shaders rendering improperly in remix

[distant tendon]

I see,thanks alot

Has anyone encountered an issue where its just really laggy unless you enable sky min z threshold set to1 + reproject sky to main camera?

the sky min z threshold prevents the reproject from gobbling up VRAM until it crashes

i could not just get it to not gobble up VRAM unless i do a very very specific sequence that requires some settings to be on, and it is annoying if your gonna have to do it everytime you play

[vagrant kernel]

Finally got the noise effect to trigger even out of menu. GPT 5.5 was able to do it. Before the noise effect would only properly trigger during 3D gameplay, not on level transitions or out of the menu

Thinking to go to Codex because what I've seen of 5.5 actually works better than 5.4

Plus the noise effect flickered in for like a frame on camera cuts which wasn't good

[vagrant kernel]

Isn't the threshold set to 1 by default?

[distant tendon]

Hey, thanks alot for helping me fix it, since I tried deleting all settings to see since if it was default it could be some settings affecting it, after a bit, I realized it was this weird heat like texture that when uncategorized it would blast the camera with light, categorized it to UI and now I could just use sky min z threshold at 1 at all times

lets see if it can fix all of FNV's issues

[golden raven]

I'm going to see if it's still going to be painful to continue on NFS

[golden raven]

Even better glass detection. Doesn't accidentally select badges now.

Maybe opussy 4.8 CAN finally fix window tinting for good

[golden raven]

Coding session going well

Damn

esmoking gun

[dull swallow]

wait 4.8? is it worth trying

[vagrant kernel]

Broke the Manhunt noise effect again trying to get off of Remix logic replacement stuff to just the API enabling the effect directly

[golden raven]

Yes.
Window tinting.

its not on windsurf i think

nvm

[rose oasis]

it's been meh for me so far

it messed up its own settings file 3 times and broke the chat because of it

[golden raven]

Been pretty okay for me

Not one shotting everything

But it is working

[candid mirage]

Still say GPT is the only competent agent for actual reverse engineering, GPT 5.5 gonna beat Opus 4.8 on the LLM Leaderboard Id say

Literally up by 1, I kinda doubt it

[solemn epoch]

I never tried Opus 4.8 and also lack the knowledge and experience that would give me any right to judge these things objectively, but I can say that anecdotally GPT 5.5 has been able to do things that Opus 4.7 failed at

[rose oasis]

buh

4.8 is doing good now

it found a pretty major issue with the FNV wrapper

[muted sun]

👀

[rose oasis]

aha

2 FPS gained lmao

14 FPS now

almost double from where we started

[rose oasis]

fucking... opus 4.6 SKIPPED implementing static processing for geometry. it treated it as dynamic. all static geometry sent by the game is reset every frame too

well at least i optimized just about every other part of the wrapper figuring this out

[muted sun]

lmaooooo

no wonder the skinned draws were funky or whatever mark said on the issue

[golden raven]

wonder if it'll be good with beam

Beam has been a tough one to crack

[candid mirage]

The good old hunt to find how many ms you can cutdown per frame for the wrapper... painful process

[golden raven]

I can see it working. Almost

This was all one shotted

opus 4.8 is definitely good

[dull swallow]

We might try and use it for psychonauts

Burrito pls give us 200

[rose oasis]

[dull swallow]

Were at the part where we are getting camera matricies but havent finished that or geometry forwarding

tfw you realize that Halo CE was primarily built with C not C++

[vagrant kernel]

Bro I'm sure someone has to be messing with me with this Manhunt noise. It's crazy how every permutation of an issue that could occur does occur. Like it just doesn't wanna work fully right

[golden raven]

My god, it's almost perfect

[solemn epoch]

You don't really need most of the C++ features to do stuff

In fact some people are of the opinion that the newer C standard the more bloated it is

So some prefer using C99 when it does the job

[rose oasis]

Anthropic restricting their models more and more?

Lets trade agents shall we? 😂

I cant even multi task with mine, sometimes if I tell him two things related, he'll focus on one thing completely and forget the other

I'm having this weird issue where Models of the same type would attempt to merge themselves by extending their faces to the other model, its very weird, anyone have a headstart I could feed into AI to help tackle it? I've been going back and forth with it for a while but so far no solution

when I come near another cone, the structure above immediately stretches to become a triangle

Yeah, it even treats it as one singular mesh, thats weird...

I'm not sure how to check if they're instanced to be honest

I've tried almost every setting, I'm starting to think its how the code handles stuff

[golden raven]

fuuuuuuuuck

okay

enough o dat shit

[sharp seal]

Did you check debug view -> geometry hash

If it's the same hash then the game is doing something wrong here

or maybe it's just doing that because of remix

[distant tendon]

[vagrant kernel]

I wanted to go Codex but then I saw their usage multipliers run out on June 1st too

[solemn epoch]

Yeah that's a bummer

I can already foresee myself switching to the $200 sub (that's a 1/3 of average salary in my country)

[sharp seal]

Target Acquired

[vagrant kernel]

Finally got the shards in Manhunt working. They were untextured before and not picked up by RTX Remix. In case people need to do something similar, I recommend telling AI to put a draw call slider into an imgui menu with an export function with all relevant information. It should just bind a placeholder texture to whatever draw you've selected so you can slide up and down and find it. Then you can pin point exactly what needs work. Much better than doing captures/traces and telling it "find the shards" (it never found them)

[sharp seal]

When we needed pins the most, discord removed them 🥀

[iron loom]

removed your ability to pin?
pretty sure they have me on ignore but whatever. genuine serious questions

[golden raven]

I've done that a buncha times

If only AI could remove the creepy owner and make it someone who is actually prsent

[dull swallow]

yeah, but nobody wants to work on a single game

they have their own

[quaint kelp]

i mnean sparkles has remix plus. and i gather it would beat making forks all the time

thats completely unrelated

thats a project with people who have different ideas+implimentations

not a bunch of people working together on one game

[quaint kelp]

Ugh, thought I'd have enough changes for a Manhunt update but nah, the shotgun light had to break

Ok, it's randomly working again

This is how game devs must feel

Shoulda written "and make it work well"

[rare needle]

So, what's people's impression with Opus 4.8?

Codex said "screw you" for whole 2 days, and I have basically free Claude access, but if results might be tipsy - I would rather wait

[bright ermine]

in my limited usage, good

its very risk averse which might impede you depending on what it is

[rose oasis]

it's good but it very much likes to lie about things

i was correcting it for like 2 hours straight. it believed me but hallucinated reasons why i was correct, instead of the actual reason

i ended up having to give it the exact commit for what the problem was

[bright ermine]

make sure to delete any memories it makes when it does that

otherwise its all moot

[rose oasis]

yeah for sure

[vagrant kernel]

@crystal kiln Sorry for the ping, but I thought you might be able to help me out. I've been thinking about implementing some sort of player brightness probe for Manhunt. The original game has a lot of fake shadows placed everywhere and I thought it would be cool if I could somehow make the actual path traced lighting hooked in to the games player visibility logic instead.
Trying to implement the AI said there is no real way to this though since the lighting values on the player character are just screenspace, so you couldn't accurately sample them fully.
Do you think this could be possible to implement without doing crazy modifications? (aka could an AI do it)

[distant tendon]

Has anyone ever messed with attempting to disable the original game's frustum/occlusion culling?

[vagrant kernel]

Yeah, I think most people working on games had to deal with culling at some point

[rare needle]

That might be good probably, since I need it mostly to touch up things before I go back to Codex

[rare needle]

That is... Suboptimal

Dam

Probably will wait, since don't want it to break things Codex successfully assembled

Or will do some smaller side stuff in the meantime

[atomic steppe]

That is actually what this tool excels at and usually achieves p fast

[distant tendon]

I really dont want to jump to conclusions since I got other bugs that could affect this but any tips on disabling the actual game culling?
the USDA files were pretty weird, the road beneath me would be invisible in the RTX remix scene editor but some geometry fully intact, sometimes capturing 400 ish assets, sometimes 300, sometimes 64

[vagrant kernel]

The best bet is to do static analysis on the exe through bootstrap and Ghidra and see what the AI can find

[distant tendon]

The anti culling feature?, I tried maxxing it out, I'd say it probably helped but didnt solve it

[distant tendon]

I suppose your right, I was really trying to avoid going to ghidra once more but I guess its probably time to

[vagrant kernel]

Just let the AI run the analysis

Are you using the Vibe Toolset?

[distant tendon]

No not really, I mostly use conversation based since well I figured I wouldnt find a good AI that has free API keys

yeah 4.8 really loves to just... do terrible quality research and then make a definitive statement

[solemn epoch]

Codex has Computer Use now. No more scripts and or command-line tools

wow claude

the plugin's api->CreateTexture is reading the wrong slot in the interface struct

so it IS the problem i told you about 3 hours ago?? what a shock

[solemn epoch]

well technically it can play a game

the problem is, it drops the input and starts assessing wtf just happened every now and then

Lool it wanted to enter God mod

It is able to quickly navigate UIs, but when it comes to the actual gameplay it is like "hold on what just happened, this shit needs thorough analysis"

"alright they took 10 health off, Oh I'm dead"

that's certainly not how LLMs are supposed to be used😄

No using VRET to find and disable that games culling system

[golden raven]

No. That's not.

Yeahh no, bounce lighting is the arch nemesys of these old shadow-based stealth games. It would be more a thing about carefully relighting and reworking the scene textures than a blanket solution that applies to the whole game. Things like using more metallic shiny surfaces that eats up diffuse lighting, use more spot lights instead of omnidirectional sphere lights, and so on.

That said, Remix does have mechanisms to attenuate visibility such as used for volumetrics during Froxel integration. If you can confirm 100% that it is purely a screen space effect, like a gbuffer mask, in theory you should be able to expose that mask as a lighting attenuation mask for the remix API to use during direct/indirect integration. That or make Remix compatible with reshade and apply such a mask as a post processing effect, though UI will be included, unless you make remix interop nicely with ReShade before the UI pass

If it is not gbuffer but rather vertex color effect baked in the meshes, then you might be able to toggle the "Vertex Color is Lightmap" setting off and maybe get some decent results

Huh? whats VRET?

I couldnt find much on it

[crimson yacht]

its the thread youre in right now

[distant tendon]

oh LOL

I searched about models that are good for coding, c++ and reverse engineering and I found Qwen2.5-Coder-7B, definitely planning to see if I can use a local model

[golden raven]

7b is going to be about as capable as a toddler who hit his head

Also qwen2.5 is a year and a half old

Possibly longer, actually

[distant tendon]

I guess you didnt lie...

why is

[golden raven]

Wtf am I looking at

Ah

[distant tendon]

you know i geniunely dont want to know more of what he said

[golden raven]

The bathroom model

[distant tendon]

💀

geniunely dont know why gemini was saying this is good

[golden raven]

That's nothing. I once had a local model completely bug out and teach me the basics of feminin hygiene products mid code run sometime last year.

It was deeply unsettling

And gross

[distant tendon]

LOOL

aint no wayyy

[golden raven]

"Y'all live like that?"

[distant tendon]

that is geniunely crazy

this is unreal

[pine coral]

Man what a month it's been. worth.

[rose oasis]
