Lexy's: Legacy of The Dragonborn Special Edition

[DarkladyLexy]

No worries, so just extract the BSA? Or should we redo the merge as well, in case zMerge needs to grab something from it?

i would extract and redo the merge

[Memoso]

i would extract and redo the merge

ok i hope we didnt have to redo the whole finishing line when re-merging with extracted BSA because of that small peanut?

 

ive already finished all

Hello Lexy,

 

I have been playing LOTD since a few months, at the lowest resolution and without ENB because of my low performance laptop. I absolutely love the depth and immersion you give to this great game.

 

I have just updated to the latest mod list, and started merging mods. I was able to merge the first 7 mods, but couldn't create the Heads Up Display Merged mod. 

 

This is the last part of the log with the error messages:

Hop you can help me. Thanks for the support!

Do we remove the 3NPC patches from the various merges?

Never mind ... I see what is happening

Hello,

 

I did the guide from start to end and everything is running well except every few minutes my game pauses in place for 10 to 45 seconds and then resumes like nothing happens. Other people are saying it is a problem happening with diverse dragons. Has anyone else had this issue with the mods from the guide and were they able to resolve it? Would removing diverse dragons break the rest of the load order? I am not sure how I should proceed. Thanks!

There was an update that happened with the guide when I was installing the guide and I was able to fix it by getting the timing is everything mod that I was missing.

So me being a dumb forgot to update the "Skyrim particle patch for ENB" before finishing up all of the Finishing Line stuff. Do I need to redo anything when I update it, or is everything okay?

it just textures and meshes so you'll be fine.

[Ostegun]

Had some error when running DYNDOLODx64.

So redid all of the Merges and the finish line.

Quite happy I did so since I found some errors in the merges.

Last step run Dyndolod, still errors.

:(

Mathias last time you mentioned I should look at the log.

I found a few things but since I'm not sure whatI'm looking for not sure what to post here.

Here are some of the things that jumped at me; quite afew not found at the end of the log:

Not sure how to proceed. I know the guide is well installed. But I also know that if something is missing it might be in the merge section because... well I did it really late at night while being tired. When I redid it again it was late at night and I had a few masters missing and I had even included 2 esp's in the keep it clean merge that shouldn't have been included.

Should I go back and do the merges again for a third time in case I screwed up something there or try to figure out from DYNDOLOD what is wrong? It seems to me like there are some files missing which I think might indicate the possibility of mistakes on my part in one or more of the merges from the merge page.

a lot of user has been have issues with the Tree and flora merge so i suggest remaking it using the Improved merging method this seem to clear it up.

Improved merging method? Is this different to the method presently described on the Merge Page?

[DarkladyLexy]

with zMErge there a drop down that say either old clobber or new improved select new and improved ofr the trees and flora merge. Thou I don't understand why some users are having issues cos i am not and also not able to reproduce.

[Ostegun]

Edited and rebuild trees and flora merge.

Still got same error.

 

Also looking at the log more in detail I have more missing messages.

Tried to Attache the log so it doesn't take up so much space but the file is too big.

so will add some excerpts at the end of the post.

 

Really not sure what to do.

I guess I could go back to before the merge page and double check everything.

 

Things I've done last week when I had this problem.

When back to the backup before the merge page and redid everything from there after checking all mods where present and properly installed in the exact order of the guide.

Rebuilt the merges (This is where I had some errors) fixed them. Worried I might have a missing master somewhere since it was late at night.

Did the finish line carefully. No real hiccups till DYNDOLOD.

 

Not sure if to do the same thing again see if I find anything. But except for the merge page section everything else was triple checked.

 

So it looks like missing textures in meshes\lod\clutter

and meshes\terrain\lodgen\trees and flora merged

and meshes\lod\mine\

Make sure that the DynDOLOD Resources SE archive is fully loaded. Some of the missing items mentioned above are in this archive. I have sometimes had some missing file problems when installing this archive, including some of the specific ones mentioned. On my system sometimes MO2 takes a very long time to install this archive while other times it is fairly quick. When fully installed on my system the folder in the mods directory is approximately 146 MB. I tried installing it several times before I was satisfied with the result.

 

I posted my experience with this on Sheson's DynDOLOD SSE topic. Several others have mentioned a problem with missing files. I don't think there is much Sheson can do about it since the archive does contain all of the files.
