Something fishy level depth/frame/fog buffer issue?

[monsterinabox]

Hi dev thanks for your work on this I was streaming this today and got to the something fishy level
the water cuts to black and only bubbles become visible when you try to move the fish forward (something thing to do with the water fog?), a similar thing happened in the sewer level but I was able to push threw that, this however is totally game breaking and ended my run threw as I cannot see where I'm going, weirdly the first area works until you swim towards the monitor or jump over the wall then just black and bubbles. spent many hours trying to find a work around to no avail.

I should mention my card is a 3070 RTX Nvidia
And I am using the correct rom version of USA v1
also minor thing but the volume is very quiet I had to set mine to 400x in the sound .json but that's not game breaking like this
levels error.

Edit: been playing with the debug menu and maybe its frame buffer 2 causing the issue or the fog multiplier or depth buffer unsure really have zero clue what I'm looking at and no option seems to allow me to disable it

have tried both Vulkan and d3d12 and also trying to edit d3d11 manually but it just reverts to 12 or Vulkan
something fishy is the only level where this is a major issue for me so far though a similar thing happened on Stinky sewers when going under the fan area and also when going into the deep pool (haven't been able to get further so unsure about later levels) maybe a conflict with S2DEX/fog volume code used in the stage, would be nice if the F1 menu wasn't just read only 2 could have fixed it myself maybe (has no idea lol)
It could be a RTX 30 series issue though I doubt this. I'm sorry for the epic long post just trying to help you fix this asap

hoping a resolution can be found thanks again for the recompiled version.

Sorry for the late reply, was on a vacation trip for almost two weeks ^^'
I noticed this bug as well while playing during my vacation trip and this one will be definitely fixed in the next Release!

awesome mate glad to know its been spotted hopefully it gets fixed soon i was really enjoying my playthrough, as i said only others bug's i found was sound being really low and some weirdness with evo and dans heads in cutscenes, i noticed there's a texture dumper in the debug menu hoping to use this in future to make a hi res texture pack for the game.

If you want, take a look into https://github.com/Cellenseres/SSSV_Recomp/tree/main/mods
There's a mod for a higher res Titlescreen background.
Here are a few screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/UkWjpM8
I also made one for the LCD Score Element, but I didn't really like the result.

I'll see if I get to fix the the gamebreaking visual bug this weekend and check out the audio issue as well.
I'm planning to add modding templates later on.

So is the debug tool able to export and import textures? I made a texture pack for the game years ago on glide n64, lost now of course but itd totally be a fun project to work on the recomp. Thank you for you fast response i look forward to continuing my playthrough hope i helped somewhat

The debug tool can dump raw texture data while the game runs, but it doesn't export actual PNG files, that feature isn't implemented yet in RT64. So you can't directly "open" the dumps and see/edit the textures.

The classic way to get proper PNGs is Project64 + Rice video plugin, just enable "Dump textures to files" in the graphics settings, play through the game, and it outputs PNGs named with Rice hashes. The good news: RT64 supports those same Rice hashes, so a pack made that way would work with the recomp directly.

I also wrote a Python script that extracts textures straight from the SSSV ROM, but honestly it's pretty buggy and not reliable enough to use as a real workflow, so Project64 + Rice is probably the cleaner route for now.

If your old GlideN64 pack is still floating around somewhere, the hashes might even still be compatible. Either way, making a texture pack for SSSV Recomp would be awesome, happy to help if you want to get into it!
