STEP Guide assume incorrect DynDOLOD files

[Gethal]

Hello!

 

Thanks for those awesome yous you make STEP possible.

 

I have been following STEP Extended all they until the end.

I am not in the installation of DynDOLOD.

 

There are a few errors in the "Detailed Installation Instructions". It says that I have to download the latest version, which is DynDOLOD 1.49

 

First, "Installation" section, step 2: the folders in question say xEdit (not TESVedit, which I know are the same really but...) and then there is another folder inside whose contents must be copied. This is super minor but its a little detail. Because I am not a moder I am very meticulous and tr to follow everything perfectly to avoid mistakes and this little thing held me for 10 mins until I ended up following the DynDOLOD official instructions.

 

Second, and more importantly, "Generate LODs" section, steps 6: the official DynDOLOD guide says to run DynDOLOD Wolrds first while the guide says to run DynDOLOD TexGen first.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: I downloaded the latest version posted (v1.49). However, when I use xEdit and follow "Generate LODs" section, steps 7 it stops and says I have the wrong version. it says I have version 1.48. This might explain the next three problems. If needed, leave a comment and I will upload a screenshot when I get home.

 

Third, "Generate LODs" section, steps 7: the images for that step show that elapsed time is more than one minute. For me it is instantaneous. This makes me assume something is wrong.

 

Fourth, "Generate LODs" section, steps 8: I have nothing in the override folder.

 

Last, "Generate LODs" section, steps 9: no such folder exists nor is created in my computer.

 

After this I uninstalled DynDOLOD and removed the files I copied into the xEdit folder because it was late and I had to wake up early.

 

This all seems like an easy thing for an experienced modder but I am not sure what to do. Any tips?

 

 

Also, on an unrelated note, when starting the game, during the carriage scene where Brolaf speaks some of the trees don't have snow. They look like spring trees. This started happening very early in the guide but I can't remember exactly at what benchmark it was.

The reason for "xEdit" is to abbreviate and cover all version of "xEdit" whether it be TES5Edit or FO4Edit. "xEdit" is common use in the modding community. Might as well get used to that one.

 

Our order is correct, TexGen before Worlds. The official Guide doesn't take into account every single user running TexGen and says it's for "advanced users". Well, it's not that complicated and there's no reason not to use it for custom LODs. This is what STEP does so you will need to run it first, before generating the worlds.

 

The last several sounds like you don't have the latest version of xEdit or you didn't install the scripts right. I would simply uninstall xEdit, download the latest (yes, it's FO4...same thing), rename the .EXE to "TES5Edit.exe", and then install the stuff from DynDOLOD again.  You just need to copy the "Edit Scripts" folder into to root xEdit folder where the .EXE is located. Overwrite anything it asks to overwrite.

 

Finally, don't forget to update your MO executable for the new xEdit installation and don't forget to re-add the argument for the output.

Oh I see. I installed TES5Edit using Gamer Poets video before I even started STEP so the video might not have included the output folder (or maybe I skipped it).

 

Thanks I will redo and repost with results
