1. Download the latest iw3sp-mod-rtx release

• Extract the contents into your cod4 root directory.
• Skip to Step 5 if you are not interested in nightly builds (featuring the latest changes)

1. Install the latest full release (step above)

2. [rtx only] [optional] Install the latest full rtx-remix release (0.5.1 at this time)
   https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/tags

3. [rtx only] [optional] Install the latest github action builds of:
   remix bridge - https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/bridge-remix/actions
   remix runtime - https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/actions

4. Download the latest iw3sp-mod-rtx github actions build:
   Release-binaries-rtx - https://github.com/xoxor4d/iw3sp-mod-rtx/actions

• Drop game.dll and the contents of the assets-remix folder into your cod4 root directory and start the game.

5. Run iw3sp_mod.exe to start the game

6. Read the Dvars / Console Commands and Current issues sections

• A. Commandline Arguments:

  • -no_rtx :: disable rtx modules
  • -no_default_sky :: disable sky spawning (map settings)
  • -no_sun :: disable sun spawning (map settings)
  • -no_fog :: disable fog (map settings)
  • -stock_effects :: render effects using shaders
  • -no_forced_lod :: do not set r_forceLod to high by default
  • -load_normal_spec :: enable loading of specular and normal maps (if you need to for some reason)

• commandline example:  c:\path\iw3sp_mod.exe -no_forced_lod -no_fog

• B. Dvars:

  🟩 encouraged to be tweaked
  🟦 can be useful in edge case scenarios
  🟧 shouldn't be touched

  Culling dvars:

  🟩 rtx_culling_tweak_mins :: prevents a bit of culling
  🟩 rtx_culling_tweak_maxs :: prevents a lot of culling
  🟩 rtx_culling_tweak_frustum :: disables frustum culling
  🟩 rtx_culling_tweak_smodel :: disables static model culling
  🟩 rtx_culling_plane_dist :: distance of frustum culling planes

  General dvars:

  🟩 r_forceLod :: force all models to a specific LOD
  🟩 r_forceLod_second_lowest :: prevent game from using the lowest LOD (sometimes used to hide the model)
  🟩 r_lodScaleRigid :: adjust static model draw distances (lower values increase draw distance)
  🟩 r_showTess :: draws material info (incl. all image names) of surfaces (geometry / models)
  🟩 r_showCellIndex :: show portal index info (useful for manual culling overrides via map settings)
  🟩 r_showModelNames :: draw names of static models around the player

  Dvars that should only be changed if you know what you are doing:

  🟧 rtx_extend_smodel_drawing :: disable static model draw limit (max amount of static models drawn at once)

• C. Console Commands :
  • mapsettings_update :: reload map settings
  • mapsettings_get_defaults :: prints sun direction, color and intensity in map_settings format based on the stock map settings to the consle

🔸 Tweak sunlight / color, skybox and fog settings
🔸 Override culling per portal / cell (to fix light or shadow culling - dvar r_showCellIndex)
🔸 Spawn unique anchor meshes that can be used to attach unique prims and lights to

• Swift changes in geometry (eg. teleporting) can crash the game.

  • Decrease geometry drawing by increasing culling or play with r_lodScaleRigid

• Remix might try to use your onboard gpu (that is a general CoD issue), so its best to disable it in the bios or within the device manager

• Some effects will slow down the game (really depends on the effect and the amount)
