T'would appear we have a winner. It ran a full pass. Thanks so much for the help.

Ok. I have re-opened the archive, and now it matches what you had above. Before re-extracting, I had [nul][nul][nul] etc... Will run a full TexGen again, and let you know how it went.

Ok. Here goes. It seems to be doing what you are suggesting, although I assume this is just a small test sample.

Hi. I have looked in the directories mentioned. castlewallstone05_n.dds is there, but as I said, I have that from Noble Skyrim now. bwallbasegray_n.dds is not. bwallbasegray.dds is in the directory, so it is working correctly up until not being able to find the _n file. The files in this directory currently are:- bwallbase2.dds bwallbase2_n.dds bwallbasegray.dds scmfloor3.dds scmfloor3_n.dds spirebasic.dds spirebasic_n.dds if that helps locate the issue.

You're right. This just bypassed the issue. It is now:- textures\dlc01\soulcairn\bwallbasegray_n.dds not found! that seems to be my problem. My mod-list is now the complete SRLE, so the log file is too big to upload here apparently (1310kb), although I can only assume this is the relevant section of it:- [00:00:00.178] Background Loader: starting...

You mentioned before, that these should generate on running the game. I have loaded up the game through both MO, with full mod-list, and gone to various locations around skyrim to see if that helped. I have loaded up a completely vanilla skyrim, both through MO profile, and through Steam, and again, gone to various locations. Again, thanks in advance for any help.

I had run the game several times during my attempts (again, with MO both managing, and not managing archives), so not sure why the copy wasn't created. I had also checked to see if all of the bsa's had loaded, and they had. However, I have found a workaround:- Noble Skyrim HD has a version of the castlewallstone05_n.dds texture in it, so with that installed, it seems to bypass the issue. Thanks again.

Hi guys. I'm having an issue with TexGen, that I assume is going to involve a simple fix/stupid error on my part, but I cannot seem to find a solution anywhere. I have been following Dirty Weasel's YouTube guide (actually followed Gamer Poet's video specifically for DynDOLOD install) as opposed to STEP installation, but I have read through STEP install vigorously for anything that might seem to be appropriate, to no avail. The error I am getting is:- textures\dlc01\dungeons\castle\castlewallstone05_n.dds not found! I am using Mod Organizer, and have tried it with both MO managing/not managing archives. Same either way. I do have the USLEEP and HighRes patches installed. I then loaded each of the Vanilla .bsa's into DDSOpt to find out that it's from HighResTexturePack02, and the texture is not in there. The texture without _n is in that bsa, but not the _n version. I have verified game cache on Steam, and again no texture in the bsa. I downloaded the Optimized Vanilla textures from STEP.... still no texture. The only thing I can think of is to actually optimize the textures myself, and maybe DDSOpt will generate the _n texture itself, as from what I gather, the _n is some form of lighting variation of the non-_n version. But, as this seems a semi-complex, time-consuming task, I figured I would ask here first, if there is any other simple step in the process that I have somehow just missed. I am desperately looking forward to getting into Skyrim again for the first time in a couple of years, and the first time I've ever had a rig good enough to actually have all of the graphical goodies available, but am always more interested in the content mods than graphics, so this is not life or death if I can't find a solution, but if I can have it all, I would like to. Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions.
