got'em, looks like its 3d tree's willow, thank you!

Hey there.

 

Thanks for all the effort you've put in this mod.

 

I've just installed DynDOLOD following your instructions on both the opening post and the instructions provided on the .zip file and I'm following your guide on YouTube at the same time.

 

I'm having an issue while running this for the first time.

 

I've followed the instructions on the dialog box but yields the same result. I am positive I am using Standalone and Resources 2.65, along with the DLL and Scripts.

 

It seems it is looking for Skyrim normal edition instead of Special Edition.

 

What needs to be done?

From DynDOLOD_QuickStart.html

By default the tools start in Skyrim mode, which is the same as adding the -tes5 command line parameter. Add -sse as a command line parameter to DynDOLOD.exe/DynDOLODx64.exe or TexGen.exe/TexGenx64.exe to start the tools in Skyrim Special Edition mode. Add -tes5vr as a command line parameter to DynDOLOD.exe/DynDOLODx64.exe or TexGen.exe/TexGenx64.exe to start the tools in Skyrim VR mode. Add -enderal as a command line parameter to DynDOLOD.exe/DynDOLODx64.exe or TexGen.exe/TexGenx64.exe to start the tools in Enderal mode in case the Steam version is used. See DynDOLOD-Shortcut.txt for help.

 

From DynDOLOD_Manual_SSE.html:

Add -sse as a command line parameter to DynDOLOD.exe/DynDOLODx64.exe or TexGen.exe/TexGenx64.exe to start the tools in Skyrim Special Edition mode. See DynDOLOD-Shortcut.txt for help.

/facepalm

 

Must have missed it. Been installing Skyrim SE and mods since Friday morning and read so many FAQs that by now I was only glancing at stuff.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I'll proceed with DynDOLOD installation and let you know if I have missed something else.

 

Many thanks again, for both the reply AND keeping Skyrim mod scene interesting.

Having trouble setting up DynDoLOD.  Following AerowynX's Re-imagined SkyrimVR Graphics and Sound Overhaul and im not sure what im doing wrong.  Run textgen without issue, run DynDoLOD and getting errors, closing the windows creates the esp but when loading the esp and running the game error says "dyndolod could not load dyndolod_worlds"  Im Assumming thats because of the errors im getting while running dyndolod.  I dont know how to read these logs so not sure where to start.

 

Here's a pastebin of the full log: https://pastebin.com/SffSLFaL

 

Using DynDoLOD v2.63

[Kflip101]

Update to my previous post.  I was running TextEditx64.exe and DynDoLODx64.exe decided to try the non-64 bit versions and it ran without issue.  Any ideas why the 64-bit version throwing errors?  I have 64-bit windows 10 and compatible cpu so not that for sure.

If problem persists, post error report with entire contents (not just the last couple lines) of ..\DynDOLOD\bugreport.txt and ..\DynDOLOD\logs\DynDOLOD_TES5VR_log.txt to official forum

Help, i have been trying to get dynolod to work correctly in skyrimvr. sksevr is installed correctly along with skyui vr, and Ive got dyndolod resources se 2.65, papyrusutil vr, papyrus extender -vr installed through mod organizer along with dyndolod dll scripts. I was also able to run texgen64 and dynolod64 through mod organizer with -tes5vr in the argument line. And have zipped and installed both output files through mod organizer. But when i fire up skyrim vr i get the error message that dyndolod.dll is not running, even though i got the papyrus utility and script files installed. If i understand correctly i should only need papyrus installed to run the dynamic dynolod right? What am i missing.

FAQ: Game: DynDOLOD requires DynDOLOD.DLL 

 

A: If the intention is to use PapyrusUtil, make sure the papyrus scripts from DynDOLOD Resources are not overwritten by the papyrus scripts from DynDOLOD DLL. 

 

A: The DynDOLOD.DLL is not installed into the correct games ..\Data\SKSE\Plugins folder, outdated or not running at all. 

 

A: Make sure you have the correct DynDOLOD.DLL version for the current Skyrim and SKSE versions that is used and none of its file are overwritten by other mods. 

 

A: Check the c:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\[skyrim|Skyrim Special Edition|Skyrim VR]\SKSE\[skse|skse64|sksevr].log that the DynDOLOD.DLL was loaded correctly. 

[Andersdja80]

I understand that but to run dynamic dynolod, is the requirement to run the dyndolod.dll or paprysutil vr not both? And what should be the load order. What i have

Sksevr

Skyuivr

Papyrusutilvr

Papyrus extender

Dyndolod scripts

Dyndolodresourcesse2.65

 

And i have them installed through mod organizer, should i install them manually instead?

Do not install anything from DynDOLOD DLL if you do not want to use it.

 

I suggest to read the included manuals. They explain what is required and how to install things.

 

From DynDOLOD_Manual_TES5VR.html:

Requirements

DynDOLOD DLL or PapyrusUtil VR for the used game version.

Installation Skyrim VR

Either install DynDOLOD DLL (overwrite papyrus scripts of DynDOLOD Resources SE) or PapyrusUtil VR according to their documentations.

 

 

From DynDOLOD_DLL.html:

Installation

Install the contents of the archive(s) into the game data folder. The DynDOLOD DLL papyrus scripts need to overwrite the papyrus scripts from DynDOLOD Resources which are for PapyrusUtil.

EDIT: The issue seems to have been solved by updating windows, see my post below.

The issue occurs very frequently (for me), and with all worlds selected, it is unlikely that a build will complete without at least one LODGenx64.exe crash (even in the clean scenario I detail below). The issue is not consistent, with the LODGen crash occurring in different world(s) each run. Sometimes only one LODGen crash will occur and sometimes many (rarely it might even complete without an error, at least in the clean scenario below). Running such a world alone will complete without error (or possibly with a low probability of crashing, I did not test this thoroughly).

This, together with the crash dumps, cause me to suspect this is a concurrency/race issue.

After some troubleshooting steps I have reached the following clean scenario which still reproduces the issue frequently (at least for me):

1. Clean Skyrim SE installation (verified using "verify integrity" from steam).
2. Download DynDOLOD 2.65 from here or from nexus (I get the exact same files from both sources).
3. Installed DynDoLOD at various paths including on the root of a different physical drive.
4. Install DynDOLOD-Resources-SE.2.65.7z with default options (using MO2), then copy the entire output to the game Data folder.
5. Change TreeLOD=0 and run DynDOLODx64.exe -sse (without MO), select all worlds, "High" and start build.

To be clear, the problem reproduces without MO and without any mods installed - except of course DynDOLOD Resources SE.

An example of the log of such a run:
DynDOLOD_SSE_log.txt
LODGen_SSE_MarkarthWorld_log.txt

If there is anything more I can do to help diagnose the issue please let me know. Alternatively, if someone sees something I am doing wrong I would appreciate pointing it out.

I am having trouble completing a DynDOLOD generation for 3D Trees ...

The issue seems to have been solved by updating the Visual C++ Redistributable (link on main post) and the .NET framework to the latest 4.8 version (from here).

 

I can't believe how much time I wasted on this.... Even my fully modded DynDOLOD generation (through MO) finished without crashes like the above.

 

I am getting a different error now:

At least this one seems like a problem with my tree mods. Anyone have any idea?

[sheson]

xLODGen uses .NET 4.0 to stay usable with Windows XP.

 

The new message seems to indicate the file meshes\lod\trees\srg_treepineforestsnow05_9cb969a5passthru_lod.nif is corrupt. Reinstall it from the EVT archive.
