Yes, I will check with the other xEdit devs about this. There already was talked about updating the BSA functions anyways.

Okay, good to know, hope you guys have success in finding the issue :)

To be clear, xEdit and xLODGen are just different modes of the same application. The xLODGen Terrain LOD beta just has changes in the LOD and Image lib parts for testing before they finally merge back into the official version.

 

I'm aware of that, when I wrote 'by extension' I was implying that, but it might have come across differently ^^.

You can see path/filename of the options file it tries to load from the log by looking for "No options file found: ..."

The format is ..\Edit Scripts\[Game Mode]LODGen_[Pluginname that adds the worldspace]_[worldspace name]_Options.txt

So for Falskaar it is "..\Edit Scripts\TES5LODGen_Falskaar_Falskaar_Options.txt"

 

In this case add the lines to the file

IsHDTextureMask=mountainslablod.dds

IsHDTextureMask=mountainslablod2.dds

IsHDTextureMask=mountainslablod3.dds

 

unfortunately it does not always work. I'm sorry you didn't correct the behavior LODGen as in version 3.1.2.Using these crutches is stupid.

xLODGen is a CK LOD generator replacement, so it adheres to those rules and constraints for all the different games to ensure compatibility and performance as best as possible. LODGen version 0.9 from many years ago is buggy in many different aspects and many of those bugs have been fixed in the meantime.

 

The "crutches" are optional settings to allow non standard features for specific needs. If the optional settings to allow out of specification features or anything else does not work as expected or needs adjusting, I suggest to provide a proper problem description like before so we can fix any issues or add new features as required. We do this in a calm and mature approach to continuously improve the tools without breaking (vanilla) behavior for anybody else.

xLODGen Terrain LOD Beta 0.38 fixes missing terrain LOD quads in small worldspaces for FO3/FNV

xLODGen terrain LOD beta 0.39 supports Enderal

It should now also properly support many texture formats in custom BA2 for Fallout4 without issue.

 

Next version of DynDOLOD will also support the new Enderal installation location. Everything else seems to be the same as the "original" Enderal. Unfortunately that includes the messed up INIs.

Uh, that sounds interesting! Will do some testing immediately and report back to you :)

[LoD7995]

Great, thanks!

Alright, I've tested the vanilla and both DLC world spaces with bake normal maps enabled and they ran through without a single error message, so everything seems to work well now! Thanks for the fix Sheson! :)

Because of these messages, the programs do not work correctly. Useless message giving false data.

What is is the purpose of posting screenshots without any information whatsoever?

"Unfortunately that includes the messed up INIs." (referring to Enderal)

 

What exactly do you mean by that?

Stuff like iPreloadSizeLimit and BackgroundLoad/Multithreading. Just use BethINI. I would also recommend adjusting the ENBoost settings and making better use of Crash Fixes.
