The DynDOLOD messages log that was saved to DynDOLOD\Logs\DynDOLOD_SSE_log.txt

 

Seeing lots of other errors in LOOT, make sure to fix other errors first and finalize the load order before generating LOD.

Hi Sheshon, wondering if you could help me out with an issue I have with DynDOLOD

 

I'm using SSE and MO2. I installed the DynDOLOD resources through MO2, and I'm running DynDOLOD and TexGen through MO2 as well. I added the '-sse' argument, so the path DynDOLOD is searching in is right. 

 

Still, when starting DynDOLOD, I get an error message saying it can't find the resource core files. 

 

I checked if the core files are installed properly in the right panel in MO2 in the data tab, and they are. I also tried manually installing the core files in de game data folder, but I get the same error.

 

The error mentions I have to check if the game path is SSE, I did, and it is the correct game folder path. I've tried everything and I really hope you could help me.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Also this is my first time posting anything so if I'm doing something wrong please tell me.

It's a simple check if a few keys files exist and can be accessed.

 

Enable DynDOLOD Resources. Start DynDOLOD from within MO.

 

Make sure the archive downloaded completely and the Core Files were installed completely.

 

Checking if the Resources Core Files are installed completely actually means to compare the physical installed folders/files with the content of the archive.

The log shows that DynDOLOD did not complete successfully but with an error. Please pay attention to the manual and on screen messages. For example the splash screen says:

 

Carefully read any messages. Do not save changes to any plugins unless the process ends with a "DynDOLOD Worlds completed successfully" message. In case something unexpected happens, check the last few lines of the log. In many cases the FAQ will provide help.

 

It seems the error is caused by meshes setting TGA images (not supported) as textures but also with wrong texture paths. Based on the error message about the textures the meshes/mod should be easy to find.

 

Probably caused by the mod that adds Azeroth in Skyrim.esp

 

As already suggested, finalize the load order first. First fix all errors (also in xEdit/in LOOT) before generating LOD.

Thanks for your reply!

 

I did what you suggested. I checked if the core files in the downloaded zipfile are correctly installed in MO2 and they are. I checked it by looking in the right MO2 panel in the data tab. Also, if I install the core files manually from the zip into the game data folder I still get the previously mentioned error :(

DynDOLOD can not access or find a few key core files in the data folder it is looking in. The files are not installed correctly or OS/third party program prevents finding the files.

 

From your explanations it seems you did not really compare the contents of the archive to the physically installed files. Like open the archive in 7zip and the mod folder in Explorer.

Use a proper file manager like Total Commander that allow comparing folder and subfolders.

 

For example check for meshes/lod/iclod_lod.nif and textures/DynDOLOD/lod/dyndolodtreelod.dds

If I opted to use SRO instead of Noble Skyrim.  Will DynDOLOD be able to build lods that are somewhat compareable in quality to HD LOD? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3333

 

Since that was built for Noble.  DynDOLOD would be relying on vanilla lod assets for SRO... does this mean they would be inferior?

We discussed this before https://forum.step-project.com/topic/14565-help-me-to-understand/?do=findComment&comment=238649

 

DynDOLOD uses the LOD meshes/textures it finds in the load order.

 

TexGen updates a select list of object LOD textures from full textures. It can not update pre-rendered object LOD textures, typically used by the walled cities or far away mountains.

 

If a mod updates the full textures it also should update the related pre-rendered LOD textures.

[Soulmancer]

The same holds true if the assets are nearly identical to vanilla? SRO is intended to match very closely with vanilla.  but vanilla has crappy lods and dyndolod can't really help with that on it's own right?

 

On a side note.  I have a user of my guide who is having an issue. He has stated "I followed the guide to a T, but I'm having problems getting DynDoLOD to work correctly. Even after reinstalling the output, it's unable to find master data for DynDoLOD_Tamriel, and cannot read data from DynDOLOD_Tamriel. Is anyone else experiencing this? Googling it seems to be no help whatsoever."  s  ... even on a new game he encounters this.  My guess is he is doing something wrong or I have missed a step but it seems to be an isolated incident.

My instructions of the guide are to install dyndolod resources.  and I have assembled my xlodgen, textgen and dyndolod outputs as separate packs for download.  the dyndolod output includes both plugins.
