Lexy's: Legacy of The Dragonborn Special Edition

[PCOBorys]

I'm getting a very strange bug when trying to build the Audio Patches Merge with zMerge. zMerge doesn’t load HearthFires.esm when I try to build the merge. It shows up in the “Plugins Tab†of the Edit Merge†modal and if I exit zEdit and run LOOT it clearly shows HearthFires.esm as active with a LO of 03.

I am new to zEdit, but I just built the Animals Merge without much problem and I don’t know why it would give any issue now. Any help would be appreciated, I’ve spent days getting to this point.

It seems the issue is that none of the included plugins had "HearthFires.esm" as a master, but "Audio Overhaul Skyrim - Legacy of The Dragonborn Patch.esp" had "LegacyoftheDragonborn.esm" as a master, and that had "HearthFires.esm" as a master. I used SSEEdit to add "HearthFires.esm" as a master to "Audio Overhaul Skyrim - Legacy of The Dragonborn Patch.esp", and that let me build. I wonder why I had this issue and no one else has.

[DarkladyLexy]

so it look like we have a clear winner by my long Margin in the lastes Strawpoll with 262 votes cast the winner is to replace Convenient Horses with Immersive Horses you guys have spoken so I will roll it out next update.

Hope no new Game is neccessary:D

it probably will due to Scripts

Do you know whether the ingame mcm settings are saved anywhere separately?

 

Because if starting a new Game it needs much Time to set again all the mcm options :(

unless they use FISS not they don't get saved which is a pain.

[Shadriss]

Well... on the upside this means we can look at putting Shields of the Holds back into the guide. Only reason it was removed was compatibility with CHorses (though we did make a patch for that later). As to the new game thing... well, that's nothing new for me. I think I end up starting new games every other day, sometimes.

[AthlonAI]

Hi Lexy! Just update since december (I'm quite busy and don't have lots of time for now) to latest and renumbered all the mods that were switch over different places in the load order!  I'll start a new character today or tomorrow to see the new things. 

 

Thank you and all your team for your continued support and all the improvement to the guide!

Each time I try to save I get a crash to desktop, manual or quicksave doesn't matter. I installed everything according to the guide except for dyndolod and texgen because of low vram.

it could be Skyrim SafeSave System Overhaul been more and more report about it of late.

 

it also doesn't help Sthaagg is MIA due to RL issue with his house being flood a few months ago.

 

i also don't really use SSSO and usually Hard save every time.

[Memoso]

Try to delete all your savegames. Maybe one is corrupted

Graphics Issue;

 

I am having a texture missing issue, I get lots of purple blocks when in mountain regions.

 

I have rebuilt DynDOLOD and the log files are giving lots of missing model lines but does run to the end;

I have followed the guide, and the only variation is that I have updated https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/16438 Landscape Overhaul to V1.7 as that came out before I did my merging

 

any ideas ??

 

**** UPDATE ****

 

Disabling Trees and Flora Merged, but enabling the 6 composite files causes Smash Patch to also fail to load but the Purple missing textures is gone

Edited February 8, 2019 by Genadine

Further Update

 

It appears that LOOT was the issue, with Trees and Flora Merged at the end of the load list all is great no broken Textures if I let LOOT place it, which it does pretty high in the list then the Textures get messed up.

 

Though still would like to know if I should be getting the missing texture messages in DynDOLOD

[stoudtlr]

Running through all the steps in the guide now and here's something that may be useful to include.  There are many textures that need to be deleted or hidden, as is noted for each mod that needs it, but there's an easy way to do it if you don't want to actually delete the files or individually click on each file in MO2 and mark as hidden.

 

1. Open Powershell in the folder that contains the .tga files

     This folder for example:

     \mods\OMEGA AIO\textures\actors\character\facegendata\facetint\OMEGA Populated.esp

 

2. Type the following command:

     dir *.tga | rename-item -newname {[io.path]::ChangeExtension($_.name,"tga.mohidden")}

 

Every .tga file in that folder will be changed to .tga.mohidden in less than a second.
