DynDOLOD 2.49 should now also fix the issue in Pale Pass.

Because error was "Odmowa dostępu" (access denied in polish) I did try start mo2 with administrator mode and dyndolod finish with no errors.

From the manual:

 

From the DynDOLOD Standalone archive copy the content of the 'DynDOLOD' folder, which contains the files TexGen.exe/TexGenx64.exe, TexGen.exe/TexGenx64.exe, DynDOLOD_QuickStart.html and the sub folders 'Docs' and 'Edit Scripts' with all their content into a new 'DynDOLOD' folder outside of special OS folders like 'Programs Files' or 'Program Files (x86)', the SteamApps or game folders and Mod Organizers virtual file structure. Do not mix with old versions or xEdit installation.

 

DynDOLOD should not be installed into SteamApps folders

DynDOLOD should not be installed into game folder

DynDOLOD should not be installed into Program Files (x86)

The game should not be installed to Program Files (x86)

I am brand new to Skryim LE modding and just downloaded and attempted to use DynDOLOD tonight for the first time. I got the following error message:

 

Exception in unit userscript line 331: Can not copy [REFR:1A0259DC] (places FarmLumbermill01WaterWheel02 [MSTT:000F3E43] in GRUP Cell Temporary Children of CRFIrontreeMill [CELL:00009389] (in Tamriel "Skyrim" [WRLD:0000003C] at -23,17)) from Cutting Room Floor.esp into DynDOLOD.esp Assertion failure (C:\Delphi\projects\DynDOLOD\wbImplementation.pas, line 13810)

 

However no log was generated. The only thing in the DynDOLOD/logs folder is the becauseofreasons.txt that is blank. My only option was to close the window, which generated the "closing files" message.

 

I tried searching the forums for related issues, and see something about how windmills and waterwheels are processed and am wondering if it's because this particular item is from the Cutting Room Floor mod. I'm afraid I simply don't know enough about DynDOLOD to parse out what exactly I need to do to fix this error.

 

Any help would be appreciated, and please let me know if more info is needed.

FAQ: DynDOLOD.exe: Exception in unit xxx line xxx: Can not copy xxxx from xxxx.esp into xxx.esp

 

A: Often caused by a broken bashed patch. Use a newer Wrye Bash version to create the patch or do not use the merge patches option. 

 

A: There might be plugin in the load order with errors. Check the load order for errors with xEdit.exe before generating LOD. Fix all errors. See this video for help. 

 

The log is saved when the program is closed. Otherwise it can be copied and pasted from the Messages window.

 

If runs through with Based Patch disabled, then you know you have a broken patch that should not be used.

Thanks so much for the quick reply. You were absolutely right about the broken bashed patch. I checked for plugin errors first and reran DynDOLOD but got a different error message. (This time for something near the Blackbriar Lodge.) So I disabled my bashed patch, re organized everything and reran DynDOLOD. Worked like a charm. 

 

My problem now is that I needed the bashed patch to alleviate some leveled list injection issues, and now I'm not so sure a couple of my mods are going to play nice together. I'll tinker with it a bit more. 

 

Again, thanks for the response and for being so nice to a complete noob.

Using the latest version from the Wrye Bash Discord should be fine.

[jjensson]

I'm using the latest DynDOLOD 2.54 + Resources and redid WazaLang's YouTube tutorial for Ultra Trees. In the past everything worked fine (Dyndolod v2.43). But with the new version i have an issue and i can't figure out were the problem is. I'm pretty sure everything else is the same, and apart from some textures, only the Dyndolod suite is new.

 

Tried with Oldrim and SSE versions of Enhanced Vanilla Trees. On first glance everything works, but Vurts tall trees (the mod where you have to copy files from SFO) are not 3D models but billboards, no matter what i try. All trees are Ultra Trees (3D models), but Vurts stay billboards.

 

I'm pulling my hair out... I just don't know were to start looking for the issue.

I can not support 3rd party instructions. 

 

You start looking for the issue by reading DynDOLOD\Docs\trees.ultra\DynDOLOD-Trees.html

 

If no 3D LOD model exists for a tree it will fall back to use a billboard by default. 

[jjensson]

Fair enough. (But you did recommend this video in the Dyndolod manual. :)

 

 

The thing is, though, i *have* a 3D model for those trees (NIF file), Dyndolod just stopped generating 3D LODs for them with v2.54. And it did work with v2.43. Very strange. I did even try defining an extra rule for those exact trees (LOD4=Static LOD4, LOD8=Billboards, etc), but no success.

 

 

I'll look into the documentation again, and if nothing helps, i'll go back to v2.43 (which is twice as slow, but oh well...)

Copy and paste the part of the old log were it shows that is uses the 3D LOD model for LOD level 4 for that tree and then the same part from the new version were it doesn't. 

Maybe the full model NIF is different now, then its CRC32 changed. Maybe you just have to copy the 3D LOD model to the new filename.
