Hello Mr. Akabenko,

I'm currently having issues with GShader Library that prevent me from using it or any of its associated mods. Loading into a map greets me with this Lua error:

[GShader Library] lua/autorun/client/fogmask.lua:7: bad argument #8 to 'GetRenderTargetEx' (number expected, got nil)
1. GetRenderTargetEx - [C]:-1
2. unknown - lua/autorun/client/fogmask.lua:7
3. Run - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:313
4. unknown - lua/autorun/client/proton_detect.lua:68

The GetRenderTargetEx value being nil is odd, and it seems to cause the viewport to break when using mods like the CSM shader someone else made using this library. I thought GWater 2 was to blame for this, as it seems to add additional graphics libraries to enable PhysX Flex water rendering. However, disabling and uninstalling that did nothing to fix it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

pretty much just breaks viewmodels by just copying the full model with practically no mods that majorly affect first person

Recently started causing some peculiar glitches with Vmanip. My viewmodel (c_hands with a weapon) start moving around the map when switching from an arc9/MWbase weapon to any other tool.

experiencing the same issue, except turning every setting off doesnt fix it for me

if I turn every setting off it goes back to normal. Weird.

This all the sudden started messing with vmanip. It just makes it disappear when looking straight horizontal but comes back if you look up or down. I don't know whats happening.

when using ARC9 weapon and aiming with a scope at the skybox the skybox wont show but the outside of the scope while aiming does show

Check if you have Gmod Legs V3 installed, the way they simulated first-person legs was kinda janky and tended to break with certain mods. Uninstalling that fixed it for me, and the shader library wouldn't cause that sort of corruption.

It's a shame, this mod makes me have some distorted copy of my body behind me for some reason, probably clashing with another mod but it's a pain.

when I look at a npc or ground theres a weird flashlight thing

I think the recent update stopped this mod from functioning https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2737702541

someone can make a shader based on this please https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3195029892

i just cant prove that somebody is gonna use this for rtgi in game...

This mod is incompatible with EC2

keep getting this error, i think it was "d3dglsl translate error" on my steam deck

PLEAAASE release the example shaders

These effects look very nice, but due to how they are designed they are incompatible with vrmod_64 extended. I will have to enjoy these in a non-vr gmod setup, I don't really expect the dev of either mod to fix a bunch of things for the compatability of the other since it's not really their job or a stated goal of either mod.

anyway, FYI to those who can't see their hands/menus in vrmod but it runs aside from that: sadly it's this mod conflicting, sorry but you're gonna have to drop the nice effects.

GShader Library Update:
- Fixed Physgun effect
- Added Normal two pass smooth (Guided filter)

@Larry.
Yeah. It still happened. Another gun base also affect too.

seems to be incompatible with modern warfare weapons by breaking 3rd person animations

Знаешь, Евгений, миру нужно больше разработчиков вроде тебя. Я сейчас не шучу, любой другой послал бы куда подальше и сказал бы искать решение самому, а ты фиксишь.

ok will be fixed

Every time I switch my weapon to a non mwb, my arms float in a still position.

I've noticed that people have problems with MWB and this mod. My MWB is broken in the mod and it seems that it was fixed at some point for others. I'm wondering how I fix it. Is it another mod that fixes it or is there some settings I change?

@stealthi26 ARC9 crashes my game every 7 minutes, I've tried it, believe me. Also it is a little bit janky in general.

Use ARC9

On Linux MWBase is still broken

Seems like MWBase is fixed...

67 updates

Breaks MWbase.

Thankyou, MWbase seems to dislike it but apart from that it works great!

@McTed fixed

GShader library update
Several methods for obtaining _rt_Bump (RGB888) bumps from color shades in the current frame have been developed. Edge defect elimination methods from normal reconstruction methods have been applied:
- Simple: Bumps are obtained by just one texture sampling, which is suitable for integrated video cards, but has poor quality.
- 3TAP: TAP methods are a balance between quality and performance.
- 4TAP
- Accurate: The best method for bump reconstruction. It eliminates defects on the edges of geometry when creating bumps.

The bump render target will be useful in the future for creating:
- Screen Space Reflexions (SSR) - to achieve better reflections.
- Screen Space Directional Occlusion (SSDO) or Screen Space Global Illumination (SSGI) - to create more realistic lighting.
- If desired, you can also calculate lighting from dynamic light sources Paraboloid Point Light, if there are any brave souls.

@Evgeny Akabenko
No sorry

Sometimes there was like a 1 in 5 chance of it working last update. I had a map called escape from vekko that corrupted on every second launch so it could be gmod being weird

@McTed
Updated. Does it fixed?

I get this error on linux native which might be from last update (on map startup)

Fixed

Happens when loading to any map.

Describe the problem in discord
https://discord.gg/JVbhYEZAmQ

what is the command that it gives to you in chat to make it better? it kinda f**ked up my render distance

soon

when is csm gshader gonna come out

Epic work

Все баги пишите в дискорд

У меня почему-то с этим модом периодически пропадают руки от первого лица

There's a weird shadow bug

Fixed depth buffer in _rt_WPDepth (0...1 range)

@Omega97Hyper Well I've never encountered issues with MW Base itself before, maybe it's some of your other mods conflicting with each other
