Mod updated to fix stuttering issue

I vote to accept this one for 2.0.0

I believe it's fixed now. I see LittleGuy registered on the wiki Sept 10, 2021, so that confirms account creation is working again.

Just reporting that Alpha 41 ran for me without a hitch. I used grass settings, terrain underside, and occlusion.

So this tells me it's compatible with our setup? DY's issues with Blackreach are specific to his test INI settings maybe ...

Good find. This didn't work unfortunately. But fortunately, I did get a clean run of ALL worldspaces just prior to disabling this. That hasn't happened since v7x or whatever preceded the version where this began for me a few months ago. @sheson I suspect this bug report has nothing to do with my continued issues with crashing, but maybe it will be helpful: [04:46] c:\modding\tools\xlodgen\xlodgen_output\textures\terrain\tamriel\tamriel.16.-32.32_n.dds [04:49] Error creating textures for level 4 quad [-8,32] Assertion failure (C:\Delphi\Projects\xEdit\Core\wbImplementation.pas, line 17347) [04:53] Error creating textures for level 8 quad [-8,32] Error creating textures for level 4 quad [-8,32] Assertion failure (C:\Delphi\Projects\xEdit\Core\wbImplementation.pas, line 17347) [04:57] Error creating textures for level 16 quad [-16,32] Error creating textures for level 8 quad [-8,32] Error creating textures for level 4 quad [-8,32] Assertion failure (C:\Delphi\Projects\xEdit\Core\wbImplementation.pas, line 17347) Error creating textures for level 16 quad [-16,32] Error creating textures for level 8 quad [-8,32] Error creating textures for level 4 quad [-8,32] Assertion failure (C:\Delphi\Projects\xEdit\Core\wbImplementation.pas, line 17347) bugreport.txt EDIT: Perhaps it is useful to keep in mind that I have no such issues with xEdit or DynDOLODa41, and I believe they can rule out certain potential issues with xLODGen

Agree if compatible with our setup

I've done that before, but just did it again. Curiously, I still have my same xLODGen config, so it doesn't appear that any settings are saved in the install directory but rather in the registry or profile somewhere. I wonder if I need to wipe out any config files located elsewhere (?) or registry settings?

I don't have a spare PC running Windows at this time. Even in safe mode with minimal startup, I get the same behavior and event (no bug report unless there is an issue reported in the xLODGen64 window without it exiting to desktop): Faulting application name: xLODGenx64.exe, version: 4.1.3.1, time stamp: 0x613e398a Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.19041.1151, time stamp: 0x891df6d3 Exception code: 0x0eedfade Fault offset: 0x0000000000034ed9 Faulting process id: 0xdb4 Faulting application start time: 0x01d7a809834ece16 Faulting application path: C:\Modding\Tools\xLODGen\xLODGenx64.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\KERNELBASE.dll Report Id: 85846250-180d-4139-a9c2-65187cf99e02 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: So I am assuming that this is a hardware/firmware issue with OS and/or xLODGen64. Still running from scratch with the latest version you posted to see if I can get a bug report.

That's what I am doing This issue began for me with the version you first released based on xEdit 4.1.3 if I recall correctly. Prior to that, I had no issues. My PC config hasn't changed since then either (other than GFX driver updates). Anyway, I will keep banging on it.

Yes. It's a problem with something on my end, but I cannot fathom what it is. As I have mentioned in the past: The xEdit process often does not even appear in TaskManager when xLODGen64 is running. It's like the OS doesn't even recognize the application. Just finished successfully finally. Leaving the app open shows the relevant processes: It sometimes shows correctly during mesh gen: At other times only this process shows (this is all during same run BTW): Other times, it simply disappears: This sort of thing only happens with xLODGen64 on my system. xEdit and DynDOLOD (all versions) don't have this issue. I suppose I need to try with some clean boots with all non-essential processes disabled ...

So far, nothing but crashes without bug report and no useful SSELODGen log generated yet after multiple runs and crashes (I just keep the output generated in place and continue by selecting all remaining wordspaces beginning with the one that crashed last attempt). Fortunately, xLODGen skips chunks that already have data. Crashes mostly happen in Solsteimworld, but also Tamriel. This is probably unrelated, but I managed to grab this from the output window before my last crash. Blackreach never crashes though: 03:13] [Blackreach] Exporting terrain mesh data for LODGen to C:\Modding\Tools\xLODGen\Edit Scripts\LODGen_Terrain_Blackreach.bin [03:13] <Warning: Unused data in: \ [00] Skyrim.esm \ [59] GRUP Top "WRLD" \ [19] GRUP World Children of Blackreach "Blackreach" [WRLD:0001EE62] \ [2] GRUP Exterior Cell Block 0, 0 \ [0] GRUP Exterior Cell Sub-Block 0, 0 \ [19] [CELL:000237B5] (in Blackreach "Blackreach" [WRLD:0001EE62] at 6,5) \ [2] DATA -

Same old issue of the app quitting mid generation without any bugreport or errors, just uninformative events. Memory use never > 6000 Gb, CPU never more than 70%. I usually just do Tamriel, Slothseim, then the rest, but it is particularly bad this time. Finally got a bugreport. No SSEEdit log though: LODGen_log.txtbugreport.txt Running latest v84 I did get an access violation this time, which is what I assume generated the bug report. Normally, this isn't the case though. LODGen seems to run fine. Problems occur during texture write. Wondering if a 50-100 ms pause between writes might fix ... just randomly thinking that the process is exceeding the effective write speed. Shouldn't be an issue on my machine, as I have the fastest drive one can have (NVME in RAID0, but this may conceivably cause issues with some apps).

You should be using all of what I posted if you want to take advantage of all of the latest improvements. DynDOLOD is just the cherry on top Also, always sort with LOOT. What I posted above was mod order, NOT plugin order. let LOOT do that

DynDOLOD Resources Alpha 12 ... (bunch of mods) Noise maps (if used) Terrain LODGen Output TexGen Output DynDOLOD Output Occlusion Output DynDOLOD application does not go here. It is an app installed outside of your mods location and used just like xLODGen to generate output that you then place into the mods indicated above

Yep, that was my thought. You maintain RS, and you can do whatever you want with it ... even if WS wasn't 'open' you could make similar edits independently. Regarding L&W setup with RS and WS (ugh). What do you recommend now for a baseline? I'm inclined to uninstall WS at this point and go with whichever version of RS you recommend for 2.0.0 dev. I think RS-WS depends on WS.

Yes, I mean that I will bet that sheson simply included this mod in his latest Resources (or made similar tweaks to his old version)

Discussion topic: Detailing the Eldrich - Higher-Res Riekling Architecture by ObsidianStag Wiki Link placeholder

I'm betting it is identical, but I agree.

Seems fair ... but can you merge some of what you have done in regards to WS into RS? Having shadows from windows in iteriors, I mean. Then, who cares about this mod.

The whole thing? This mod seems to have "3D Snowberries" ... misnamed for HD snowberries?? And 3D Junipers ... I could've sworn we had a juniper mod accepted, but I cannot find it.

Agree

Hmmm ... seems like you should port what you want from it into RS-WS then and be done with their ADHD. Then we can toss it and use RS

I have the standard version and didn't even know about the beta for RS EDIT: I have v7.6 installed ... OMG, 7.6 is not even ... deleted93399393 even has an archived 8.0 beta 3.1 version. Gimme a break. So ... can you recommend the install? Enhancer=no? Light fader=no? I probably will not be using the brighter glow maps, but who the hell knows ...
