    Your ENB definitely exacerbates many graphical issues for one. The light tops are caused by normal faces on the meshes. They don't point up but at the top but rather sideways on pine trees, which causes differences in lighting at tops of trees. You can lower the Lighting Effect on the NIF of the LOD models < 0.5 (not the tree itself or you will break the LOD connection), or you can try different textures for EVT, which may help a bit. Otherwise, you need to increase ambient and lower direct lighting for HD tree in TexGen as Phlunder suggests. This has nothing to do with the alpha threshold. EDIT: you can also change top/bottom lighting of HD tree in TexGen which may help

    Then you are doing something unexpected, because we have it working without issue with only GID in BSA and GrassGID=gid as described previously. You probably can have GID as loose files, but I defer to @DoubleYou on this nuance, since he has more time in development around this stuff than me.
  3. z929669
    Agree. The file re-naiming path details are in the OP.

    The author of ACMoS posted just before this post. I'm not clear on this statement. You shouldn't be hiding the ACMoS BSA but rather letting xLODGen Output 'mod' override ACMoS and all other mods (except for DynDOLOD Output 'mod'). ACMoS should be active (with unhidden BSA) when generating terrain LOD with xLODGen.
  5. z929669
    To get all of its benefits, ACMoS relies on DynDOLOD, so you have to enable Level32 in DynDOLOD_SSE.ini and set your '/' mesh rule to Level0 at LOD32. There are game INI settings to consider as well. Use xLODGen to generate terrain LOD. There is no "xLODGen Resources". Instead, there is "DynDOLOD Resources" needed by DynDOLOD, which is used to generate object LOD. Don't install xLODGen as a mod, and send it's output to a path inside the xLODGen install folder outside of your game folder (default behavior). Much is explained in the OP of this topic. Also carefully read the ACMoS description ... scroll down to the xLODGen and DynDOLOD instructions, and we explain how to set all of this up in the Step guide as well: Install xLODGen Generate LOD This is all fairly advanced and requires careful reading through documentation or guides and understanding of your mod manager (MO it seems).

    Check that you have grass textures in your TexGen output under \terrain\lodgen\skyrim.esm Be certain to set GrassGID=gid in DynDOLOD_SSE.ini Enable Grass Cache Fixes
  7. z929669
    The grass option is greyed out if you don't have TexGen grass textures. Yes, you only need GID. I suggest packaging into a BSA, but you don't need to.
  8. z929669
    What??? Look at your previous post in this topic. I quoted that. you are creating a lot of topics and obviously posting on the wrong ones yourself apparntly.

    Your trees are only showing up in Loaded cells. Your INI settings are set for rendering NO distant trees with DynDOLOD, because DynDOLOD is rendering them in object LOD. If you want traditional LOD trees, you would enable them in your game INI again, but that's not what you want. Rebuild DynDOLOD or convert your setup back to traditional LOD. fTreeLoadDistance
  10. z929669
    Your words: There should be NO LOD if you don't have DynDOLOD enabled. If you want LOD, you must enable DynDOLOD again. The clean save is when you are changing your object LOD with the same character. Disable DynDOLOD Clean save. Rebuild DynDOLOD Enable DynDOLOD Load save. I have never needed to do the whole business of waiting 24 hours, so that's just not true. Maybe necessary for other mods in your save, but not rebuilding object LOD

    As instructed in the guide, name the SSE Terrain mod and CL terrain mods accordingly using '(TEMP)' in the file name. All other mods stay enabled. This is why we provide the instructions. They are complete and fairly explicit about disabling plugins or mods and when.
  12. z929669
    Be sure you have the DynDOLOD plugins and outputs installed and enabled. Sort with LOOT.
  13. z929669
    Just search your mods for DLL files and disable those mods in blocks until the issue goes away. Then you will at least know where to look. It's easy using MO > Data (in right pane, filter at bottom), but not positive how to easily do it outside of using Windows Explorer. This happened to me once using a map icons mod.
  14. z929669
    Step doesn't seem to touch this texture, so it's either a mesh issue or particle effects of ENB that we are using. @TechAngel85 would know for sure, since he is the lighting wizard.
  15. z929669
    Done
  16. z929669
    My candles look like those on the right with Radiant - Candles ... using the Step ENB anyway.
  17. z929669
    As the Grass LOD Guide states: create your grass cache in 1.5.97 using a mod build that is as close as possible to what you use for 1.6.xxx (which will only differ with respect to certain engine-level mods like NGIO and SKSE stuff for the most part. Maybe a few mods that depend on SKSE). You only need the GID files with latest DynDOLOD alpha (see grassGID setting in DynDOLOD_SSE.ini). Package these into an uncompressed BSA and load with a plugin. You must disable NGIO. Forget about it. Use only Grass Cache Fixes with it's default config. Follow our SSE guide BethINI instructions, DynDOLOD, and LOD instructions if using SSE 1.6.xxx runtime. If it's not working, then there is an instruction that you are not following correctly OR your non-standard setup wit your modding environment is precluding. Can't help you with that, and my feeling is that many of your barriers are related to this. If you won't move to our standard setup recommendations and methods of installing supporting apps like MO and DynDOLOD, then much of our advice and instructions may either not work or have caveats. You would be better off asking about these issues on the DynDOLOD support forum, as sheson's methods are not dependent on this. What I can tell you is that if you are using Cathedral Landscapes and Grass Cache Fixes on 1.6.xxx and you have a proper grass cache, you CAN get grass LOD. If you aren't getting any, you know it's config or user error that sheson can help with.

    DY took care of that recently I think
  19. z929669
    So you 'removed' it by removing the IsFullLOD flag from the record? You cannot see it from Tamriel but you can still see it from Solstheim? If so, that was next on my list. I would assume this would be the case, since that's the vanilla behavior.
  20. z929669
    I'll take care of it if you haven't
  21. z929669
    Thanks. No changes needed to wiki instructions
  22. z929669
    'Occluded' in the general sense. i understand the pop-in issue though. I guess I will need to see for myself. The alternative may be to hide it completely from Tamriel but leave visible in Solstheim ... or to simply leave it. We'll mess with it and see what we come up with. Thanks
  23. z929669
    @sheson The mod Worldspace Transition Tweaks connects Tamriel to Solstheim. The only issue is that the plume shows clear across Tamriel rather than being occluded by mountains and/or curviture of Nirn. If we wanted to enable dynamic LOD accordingly (e.g. only in Solstheim or Slostheim + northeastern Tamriel, fe.) could a formID mesh rule be used to alter the effect of the neverfade being set on this record? Or maybe an Occlusion tweak of sorts? ... rather than unsetting the flag that is.
  24. z929669
    Seems like a runtime SKSE issue. Check SSE Engine Fixes version to start.
  25. z929669
    Removed and will be available in the DEV patches shortly. We can leave it in the current patch with no harm done.
