Protect_Dreams Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Thank you for your reply. I have the VR version of the games. I don't understand which DynDOLOd to take? I used this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMrjXivssso&t=297s And I did put -tes5vr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protect_Dreams Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I do not understand. I installed resource 2.88 with vortex I use Dyndolod 2.96 Texgenx64 installs well. I have the RAR file in vortex after. But then dyndolodX64 crashes again. I did, however, take a good look at what you told me. http://www.noelshack.com/2021-39-5-1633100224-captureb.jpg http://www.noelshack.com/2021-39-5-1633100228-capturek.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stops because it detected an installation error. Do not install DynDOLOD Resources intended for Skyrim. As explained in the first post and the manual, Skyrim SE/VR requires DynDOLOD Resource SE. The first post also has the download links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluegunk Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Hi folks! I've a bit of a mystery here. I'm using Dyndolod v2 and Skyrim 3D Plants and Trees, and here's pictures of how the mod's TreePineForest01/2/3.Nif comes out close up. You'll see the tree is reverted back to the vanilla mesh and texture. I use MO2, have done for years. Including using Dyndolod for ages. Now, no matter what I do to this 3D Trees mod, this tree type remains a blurry tex/mesh disaster. I made sure I removed any overwriting mod, checked I have the Billboards. Ran LodGen with SSEEdit. Ran Dyndolod with my usual set up. And.... (By the way I removed Jedi Trees and re-Dyndolodded since I took the screenshots). Only if I switch off Dyndolod (v2) in my load order does it suddenly revert to the modded tree I expect. I'm at a loss for ideas. I've not had this happen before on prior play-throughs! Why and how is this type of tree being stripped of its textures and reverted? All other LOD has generated pretty much as expected. I'm using the Ultra trees generation. I'll clean up and re-run the process in the mean time. Any help much appreciated. Thank you! Edited October 13, 2021 by Bluegunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either resolve the conflict of the base record in xEdit manually or generate LOD from scratch for the new load order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluegunk Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Thanks for your quick reply! I just redid an entire LOD generation using Dyndolod V2 - no changes in LO, and still have this weird issue. Here's an updated set of pictures. Now, when running Dyndolod I understand I have to omit the Bashed Patch, and I also find the Window Shadows mod and its patches generates a Dyndolod error if active and stop the process. Would these being omitted cause the load order problem? Thanks for advice and patience. I'll rummage around SSEEdit for the moment, see if I can understand where I am going wrong.

DynDOLOD copies the base record from the highest winning plugin at the time of LOD generation to create the DynDOLOD plugins. What that last record says the full model for the tree is, is the full model of the tree the game will load and show in the game. Finalize the load order before generating LOD. Make sure the overwrite order of plugins is what you want it to be. Then generate LOD from scratch so the winning records are being copied. If DynDOLOD reports errors in a plugin, fix the errors in the plugin or remove it permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Billboard for Skyrim 3D Plants and Trees that has been superseded with the mod's incorporated LOD, in a different folder structure too. Dyndolod is pulling in the older, wrong model. I'll go and sort this out, then let you know how much face-palming and head-hanging I had to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DynDOLOD always uses the "correct" folder and filename path convention for billboards first. Pay attention to the log messages about the billboards. LOD assets do not affect full models.

Bluegunk Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Shall do. I've tidied things up and done a re-run, but with exactly the same result. I'm calling it a day now (UK time) and will continue tomorrow. I've never faced this particular problem before, and it is proving really hard to track down what is going on. On your advice, I'll trawl through the logs again tomorrow and see what is going on with these billboards. Many thanks for helping. And also thanks for this awesome LOD generation tool. It never ceases to amaze me how cool it is, and the results are (normally) amazing. Until twits like me muck it up! I'll let you know how it turns out. Cheers! UPDATE: found the problem at last. SkyTest changes wind factors in the trees. It also uses vanilla tree models which were being picked up by Dyndolod. I decided to pull that mod and all is now good. I expect in previous play-throughs the tree mods loaded after it, which is why the problem didn't surface for me before. Thanks for your time! I appreciate it.

somnomania Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Running into a wall here at the end of my outside the game setup; when I run DynDOLOD, I get this: I think the problem it's having, at least in part, is that I used Steam Mover to put SSE on my SSD C: drive, but it looks like that doesn't properly update everything. I've managed to figure out everything else in this setup until now, so is there a way to make it see where the game currently is? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the DynDOLOD Resources SE multiple times, too, so I have no idea why it isn't finding that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verify that the path to the Skyrim SE installation folder is correct in the Windows registry, and update it if not. The registry key is: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Bethesda Softworks\Skyrim Special Edition\installed path OR manually specify the path to the data folder with a DynDOLOD command-line option (making sure to put a \ at the end), in MO's Executables configuration panel: -D:"C:\path\to\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\" You don't need to use a tool such as Steam Mover to move your games. This functionality is now built into the Steam client. Steam > Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Folders button. From there you can create additional library folders on different disk drives, and move games between them.
