Error: DynDOLOD can not find master data in DynDOLOD_WyrmstoothWorld.json

godescalcus · September 17, 2018

I'm getting the error shown in the picture. Checked that I have that file and that permissions are set to full control. I ran DynDOLOD 2.42 and PapyrusUtil 3.4b. DynDOLOD Resources is 2.41, would that be the wrong version? Still running older game binaries and SKSE 2.0.7. Checked that no files from PapyrusUtil 3.4b are being overridden. Using MO2. What could be the problem?

Also checked that WyrmstoothWorld meshes, atlas and flat atlas textures are present and installed.

Use latest version

FAQ: Skyrim: DynDOLOD can not read data from *.json / DynDOLOD can not find master data in *.json

A: Copy Meshes, Textures and SKSE (which includes the *.json files) from the output directory to the game directory. Make sure these files and DynDOLOD.esp are in sync from the same generation process.

A: Can also be a save game update gone wrong. Test with new game, if successful, repeat clean save procedure.

I read the FAQ but wasn't sure I understood. Do I need to place those files in the game directory instead of /data? Textures, meshes and SKSE? Using MO2 and I moved the output directory to mod organizer's mods folder and activated as a mod, so the files should be inside data in the vfs.

I'm going to try the clean update again. Some people say you have to wait 30 game days?...

In any case, if I have to regen won't be able to use the latest version since I haven't updated my game binaries yet and don't want to take the plunge mid-game. Is there still a link somewhere to the correct resources file for version 2.42?

Also, what's the correct procedure in this case for a clean update: I can't deactivate dyndolod outdoors because of the error (says it's already inactive). Should I move straight indoors and save, remove, load, save, reactivate or should I travel back to a worldspace that's not throwing errors and deactivate there first?

That should say game data directory. I will update that sentence to make it more clear.

Ignore everything people say and read the manual instead. It has a section about updating existing save games.

Use the latest DynDOLOD standalone and DynDOLOD Resources SE available. There never was such a thing as DynDOLOD Resources SE 2.42. The game version does not matter.

If DynDOLOD is not active, then it is already deactivated.

No luck after clean update. Fact is I do have DynDOLOD_WyrmstoothWorld.json and DynDOLOD_WyrmstoothWorld_Objects.json in data/SKSE/Plugins/StorageUtilData. They are both not empty files, the first one for example begins like this:

"{

"stringList":{

"137137":["f30060"],

"137138":["f30060"],

"137139":["f30060"],

"137140":["f30060"],

"137141":["f30060"],

"137142":["f30060"],"

and ends like this

""c32133":[137111,137112,137093,137094,137103,137104,137095,137096,137105,137106,137097,137098]

},

"int":{

"largereffix":0

},

"string":{

"bunchofnumbers":"0N7O1S6E7H2S57O0T5T4I4M7B4U0S0"

}

}"

I have DynDOLOD_Flat_Atlas_WyrmstoothWorld.dds, DynDOLOD_Flat_Atlas_WyrmstoothWorld_n.dds, DynDOLOD_Atlas_WyrmstoothWorld.dds and DynDOLOD_Atlas_WyrmstoothWorld_n.dds inside textures/DynDOLOD/Lod and a folder meshes/terrain/wyrmstoothworld containing two folders, objects and trees. The trees folder, however, as a single file WyrmstoothWorld.lst that is empty (1 byte, contains a NUL character). Is this correct? The same happens for all other worldspaces.
