Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 82146, member: 636"] NVIDIA just gave modders god powers for old games. They announced RTX Remix Logic, a new system letting modders make game visuals react to gameplay. This feature drops later this month in an app update. It works by spotting over thirty common in-game events, offering more than nine hundred triggers for modders to use. Lighting, materials, and fog effects can now change based on what happens in the game. A door opening could suddenly alter the weather or shift the lighting in the room. The system can also inject dynamic particles or full-screen effects. These can act as stress indicators when a player's health is low, adding chromatic aberration or a vignette. Big environmental effects like snowstorms are smart, only appearing outside and automatically turning off when the player goes indoors. Modders control all this through a node-based interface that requires no coding. They just connect triggers to visual actions. NVIDIA says the framework is built to grow, letting the community add even more triggers and effects down the line. In a demo, they showed a door in Half-Life 2 RTX leading to completely different versions of Ravenholm. The potential goes beyond visuals into actual gameplay tweaks. A modder known as xoxor4d, who worked on a path-traced Grand Theft Auto IV remaster, prototyped a system for Half-Life 2 RTX. It automatically triggers a night vision effect when the player equips the crossbow and zooms in. This Logic system works with over one hundred sixty-five classic games already supported by RTX Remix. The upcoming update also includes a redesigned runtime menu, courtesy of xoxor4d. Users can resize this menu, change its theme, and adjust its transparency. NVIDIA also took a victory lap, stating that last year was huge for RTX Remix. They cited over fifty new mod releases and more than twenty community-built tools and plugins. [/QUOTE]
