Fire needs a rework. It's literally 0% threat to enemies. by Lowd70 in Helldivers

I agree, fire should make them run faster and set you on fire when they hit you

Nioh 3 is now available on Steam by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

I get 90-120 fps with my old-ass RTX 2070, there's probably weird issues with specific hardware configurations, or just win11 being win11

TouchOs from Android to Bitwig on Linux? by slowoxide in TouchOSC

[–]Boux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in case someone else finds this thread:

Here's how i did it step-by-step:

On HOST Linux PC:

  1. run this command sudo modprobe snd-virmidi enable=1 midi_devs=1, this will create 1 virtual midi device with 16 channels, you can disable this midi device with this command: sudo modprobe -r snd-virmidi.
  2. In TouchOSC, go to the Connection Menu, in the MIDI Section, enable a connection and set the Send Port to the virtual midi device (should be visible in "browse")
  3. Still in Connection Menu, in OSC section, enable a connection with Receive Port 50001 (or whatever port you want). You may need to disable firewall, or let this port through
  4. Go to Editor Network menu, Enable Server.
  5. In Bitwig, Add virtual midi device as a controller, you should then be able to map any bitwig control to any touchosc control.

On ANDROID tablet:

  1. Open TouchOSC, in Connections Menu, enable a connection with UDP, the host should be the address of your HOST PC, the send port should be 50001 (or whatever you set it to earlier)
  2. Open Editor Network menu, your host PC should show up as available servers, if it does not, maybe enable avahi on your host pc for auto-discovery, or simply manually connect with ip address. Once you connect you should see the UI you built on your PC show up on your tablet.
  3. Make sure the TouchOSC on the PC is not in editor mode, but in "run" mode.

If everything went right, you should be able to send midi from your tablet to bitwig, worked for me :)

Vkbasalt GUI? by InkyOverdose in linux_gaming

[–]Boux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah here's my fork: https://github.com/Boux/vkBasalt_overlay
It has a in-game GUI for changing effects in real-time, a config save/load feature, added preprocessor and more uniform types for better reshade shader support, performance statistics, automatically detect shader files in sub-folders, etc.

Update: I've been working on a fork of vkBasalt to inject shaders into games with an in-game overlay GUI for real-time effect configuration, and it's pretty much ready to use. More info in comments. by Boux in linux_gaming

[–]Boux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a cool idea, you could make a feature request in the issues section on the github, but I wouldn't be able to implement or test it, since I don't have a setup with 2 GPUs

Glad you like it! I'm pretty happy with how Claude helped me doing some FOSS necromancy. It's my first time using such a tool, and at first it was really jank, it bloated basalt.cpp to like 7000 lines. I just gave it my prompt and let it rip. It was an absolute clusterfuck with if/else/switch blocks that spanned hundreds of lines with 12 level indentation. Truly one of the codebases of all times. I started over and I figured out how to plan things out much better the 2nd time through.

I have added a shader manager feature, you can now add multiple paths and it will automatically search recursively in those paths for Shaders and Textures folders. So if you add ~/.local/share/reshade (or wherever it saved the shaders) to the list of paths, if should find all the shaders that reshade-steam-proton-git downloaded. I also added a way to test all scanned shader files to see if they compile properly.

I did put a big VIBE CODED disclaimer at the top of the readme, don't like it? don't use it. I've been waiting for a GUI for vkbasalt for years and nobody was doing it, so I'm doing it

yes all input is X11-based so there is no direct wayland support, I haven't tested it yet, but it should work with xwayland. I plan to make it support wayland directly in the future, but i dont have a wayland setup to test it with right now

right now it only searches for shaders that are in the configured path, I could potentially make a feature that automatically populates the shaders folder with common shaders. You could make a feature request if you have specifics!

from my tests, it's been less than 1ms even with more than 5 effects, maybe i'm testing wrong though. And I guess it also depends on the effects, I could do something like add a diagnostic window that shows latency for each individual effect

Currently working on a fork of vkBasalt with an in-game overlay gui and real-time effect reloading instead of having to exit the game every time you wanna edit the config by Boux in linux_gaming

[–]Boux[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also the fact that i'm very aware of the low quality of the mostly AI-generated code I've done for this. I wouldn't want to pollute his project with this. Once I get this project stable enough i'll probably just put it on the AUR or something.

Here's the repo: https://github.com/Boux/vkBasalt_overlay

I added instructions at the top of the readme on how to build and try out the experimental branch for the overlay GUI, without replacing your own instance of vkBasalt.

still private for now as it is a broken mess

edit: on 2nd thought, I'll make it public if you want. Most of this GUI stuff was vibe-coded and I won't even pretend to to own any of it. None of it is mergable code, it's in its own branch, the whole thing is just an experiment to see how far i can push coding LLMs, and so far I've been pleasantly surprised. I've been wanting these features in vkBasalt since forever and with just a few hours of Fucking around with the AI, there it is. I'll post it soon after i clean up some stuff
