DynDOLOD error/failing to finish [Classic Skyrim]

[BritishDragon]

Alright so I'm using MO v2.1.1 and I'm having issues getting DynDOLOD to finish generating. TexGen works like a charm but DynDOLOD always has an error at the same part no matter what I do, I've searched around for fixes but to no avail. I'm using the 64bit version but I've tested with the 32bit and still nothing.
I do have quite a few mods/plugins which could be an issue but all the help I can get would be appreciated, I am fairly new to this sort of thing.

DynDOLOD Log, had to zip it due to the txt file being too big...

Does it run through if not selecting the Sovngarde worldspace?

 

What happens if generating for Sovngarde only?

 

Unrelated, but I suggest to remove SkyFalls/Mills it is not needed anymore.

[BritishDragon]

Thanks for the quick response but I'm sorry for the late reply on my behalf.

Alright so I tested it without selecting sovngarde and then I get a new error.
Here's the last bit of the log:

I'm thinking something could be wrong with my game files, though DynDOLOD used to work perfectly before I had to reinstall MO due to an issue I was having. After the re installation of MO and once I had enabled all of my mods again that's when my errors started happening to DynDOLOD. Don't know if any of that really helps but I'm trying to provide as much detail/backstory to when I started to have issues. :)

Also thank you for the advice of removing Skyfalls/Mills, didn't even know it wasn't needed. :D

 

[sheson]

The logs might indicate a problem with billboards (and/or other LOD textures). Maybe a file is corrupt or can not be read properly. Write error usually should produce a more descriptive error message. There is also a possibility that some antivirus or some such is interfering.

 

I would try to disable all tree mods and their billoards and test if you can generate for DLC1HunterHQWorld just with vanilla trees and vanilla billboards (Indistinguishable Vanilla Tree Billboards). Then enable/reinstall each tree mod/billboards one by one.

 

Sovngarde kind of points to other LOD textures though. Check if both D:\Games\Steam Games\SteamApps\common\skyrim\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_Output\Textures\DynDOLOD\LOD\DynDOLOD_Flat_Atlas_Sovngarde.dds and D:\Games\Steam Games\SteamApps\common\skyrim\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_Output\Textures\DynDOLOD\LOD\DynDOLOD_Atlas_Sovngarde.dds were created or not.

If the second atlas dds file does not exist you could check ..DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\cache\DynDOLOD_TES5_sovngarde_textures_used.txt for a list of textures it tries to read and combine. Some of them are updated by TexGen, but some are also pre-rendered and come from Skyrim - Textures.bsa or mods.

Thanks a ton, it worked!
Seems like all my issues were fixed after re-downloading Indistinguishable Vanilla Tree Billboards and DynDOLOD Standalone, then following exactly what you said, now everything runs through smoothly and generates everything.
It seems as if my antivirus was playing a small part as well, due to it deleting DynDOLOD files without me realizing, grr.
 

Now that you've found the fix, it seems like something obvious that I should of tried from the start!   

I have to thank you again for solving my issue, I really do appreciate it!
Now I can return to Skyrim and see the beautiful DynDOLOD. 

[sheson]

Great. Enjoy.
