Collection of Random RTX Remix Compatibility Mods

---

#The good:

• Pretty stable
• Most things rendered via fixed function
• No noticable culling
• Tweakable per map-settings (ImGui F5 :: Anti-Culling - Animated lights - Spawnable unique meshes and more)
• Per map remix configs (config variables)
• Working, tweakable flashlight
• Working 3D Sky (with certain limitations)
• Forced LOD
• Use commandline arg -nobeep to disable the beep on startup

#The bad:

• The new UI does not work with remix (hence the usage of -oldgameui)
• Some textures won't show up in remix (or are simply black) - mostly metal textures and certain skyboxes
• Effects are not properly fixed (no proper alpha blending at times - or general glitching)
• Effects and other things might look especially bad when viewed through a translucent surface (eg. tram ride -> that is more of a general remix issue)
• Cables are still rendered via shaders and look glitchy due to unstable hashes and vertex imprecision
• No facial expressions because of softwareskinning usage (also results in not being able to replace skinned meshes)
• The asi (dll) might be flagged as a false positive due to the nature of it (process hooking and manipulation)

#Usage / Installing:

This game has separate releases.
Look here and follow the install instructions that are found on the release page.

#The good:

• Pretty stable
• Most things rendered via fixed function
• No Frustum Culling
• More Anti-Culling Tweaks (Tweakable via ImGui F5)
• Use commandline arg -disable_normal_hack to disable vertex normal fixup if you run into weird vertex explosion issues or if this is no longer required due to remix advancements

#The bad:

• "Broken" vertex normals (Normals are packed and that is currently not supported by remix)
• Hash of orig. emissive textures changes

#The good - game works pretty good out of the box so this mod only features:

• Disabled frustum culling, backface culling (enabled by default)
• More optional anti culling features
• Forcing of BSP surfaces within a certain distance around the player to help with light leakage
• Commandline arguments:
• disable_sky to disable the skybox (required for anticull1 and fixes remix vram leak)
• anticull1 to cull even less
• anticull2 to cull less static actors in normally culled zones
• backface_culling to enable backface culling by default (who would want that?)

All of the above can be tweaked within the ImGui F4 menu

#The bad:

• Remix bug: with the sky enabled, unfocusing the game will render only the skybox for a frame and leak a little vram.
  This can also happen randomly when walking through doorways which will ultimativly fill up the entire gpu memory.

• Ships with EchoPatch

#The good:

• Somewhat stable
• Most things rendered via fixed function
• GPU Skinned meshes via fixed function
• ImGui menu (F4)
• Reduced frustum culling

#The bad:

• Hash of a lot of "models" not stable
• Currently can not get remix "friendly" anti-culling to work so it's either light leaking and unstable hashes or rendering the entire map (which is possible via the ImGui menu)
• original skybox is broken (currently rendering a unique marker with a skysphere attached to it via remix replacements)

• Ships with DFBHD-Wrapper

#The good:

• Pretty stable out of the box
• Skinned meshes now rendered via fixed function
• Reduced frustum culling
• Fixed game lights breaking the terrain
• Per map configs for remix variables
• Nightvision remix configs
• Commandline Argument: -disable_terrain to disable original terrain rendering

#Usage:

• Change your fov/resolution via scripts\BHD_Asi.ini and make sure to use 1280x1024 in-game

#The good:

• stable
• most things rendered via fixed function

#The bad:

• crowd looks a little odd (still rendered via shader - remix issue?)

#Usage:

• Make sure to read the _README in assets/gh3

#The good:

• Boots, ImGui menu
• Fake camera to enable pathtracing

#The bad:

• Utterly broken, texcoords (UV's) are half floats and normals are packed
• No game camera data or mesh transforms yet
• Currently not worth proceeding

#The good:

• Boots, ImGui menu
• Game camera transforms to enable path tracing (ImGui F5 -> enable fake cam (temporary name))
• Fixed function rendering of models (incl. dynamic models)

#The bad:

• still very broken and very WIP

#The good:

• Disabled world / BSP frustum culling
• Disabled the BSP PVS system (no entity culling)
• Launch game with commandline arg -use_signatures if the default mode (static offsets) is causing issues

#Description and features:

• Tries to fix certain aspects of ue2-2.5 games were no standalone mod is available
• Can currently fix frustum and backface culling on swat4, killingfloor, r6 raven .. other games are untested
• ImGui menu (F5) if the game is using d3d9

#Commandline arguments:

• disable_sky to disable the skybox (required for anticullex and fixes remix vram leak)
• anticullex cull even less
• nod3d do not hook the d3d9 interface (imgui wont work), if you are having issues with that
• async load signature patches asynchronously - use if the game gets stuck on trying to find the engine.dll

To install, just grab an asi loader of your choice and drop a_ue2fixes-rtx.asi next to your game's exe.

#Installing

• If there are Releases - grab the latest one and follow the instructions found there
• Installing Action builds requires a GitHub account (to download the artifact)
  • Download the latest Action build
  • Download the latest remix release from github and place the files into your game folder (next to your game executable)
  • Delete the d3d8to9.dll that comes with remix
  • Take a look at the _README within the game mod folder (eg. bioshock1) for further instructions
  • Some game mod folders contain a _not_root_folder folder with additional configuration files used by the game. Place accordingly
  • Run the game using the run-with-rtx.bat

#Overall usage

• Press F5 or F4 to open the in-game gui for some compatibility tweaks or debug settings
  • Using the fake camera will most likely enable remix path tracing

#⚠️ Note

• Heavy wip
• Most of the mods don't work very well (if at all)

#Compiling

• Clone the repository git clone --recurse-submodules <URL>
• Run generate-buildfiles_vs22.bat to generate VS project files
• Compile the mod of your choice
• Copy the mod dll into your game directory along with the files in the assets/<Mod> folder
  • check if assets/<Mod> contains _not_root_folder and place the files in there accordingly
