As I keep saying, there is not much I can do about the OS, AntiVirus etc. of users blocking downloading or denying access to something.

Hi! Unfortunately I got an issue when running dyndolod 2.53 .

Basically is the exact same situation as this https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/6l4e3b/3d_tree_lod_issue/

In short RAT 3d lod has no branches unless i tfc and go really close to them.Full model is rendered just fine.

I have the Tamriel atlas created,although i cant see it cause it wont open with paint or ddsviewer etc ..Older versions used to work and opened up but new textures dont at all.

Also i opened the mentionted in reddit .bto on nifskope and it showed that the textures of the branches are mapped  although again it didnt show the image of the atlas (it was grey).

Furthermore i still have an output of 2.47 that works just fine .

I changed nothing other than migrating my whole mod setup to an ssd between the older version 2.47 and 2.53.Also i runned the 2.53 on the old drive where i kept the old installation and i still got the same bug.

 

Is there still a 2.47 version available for me to test it? I managed to lose it... If i could create dyndolod with that version and not have the bug then i would know for sure that there isnt something on my end that changed (e.g. ssd which has some fancy stuff like rapid mode or w/e.. i dont know  im clueless here :P )

If you read the update post / change log as suggest you should know that starting with 2.48 the textures are now using the BC7 compression. I suppose you might need to update some programs/plugin in order to open them. With the right programs (the texconv command line utility included in DynDOLOD for example) you can also convert existing textures.

 

You can switch back told former BC1/BC3 compressions by opening ..DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_SSE.ini and setting

StaticLODDiffuseFormat=200
StaticLODNormalFormat=200
TreeLODDiffuseFormat=202
TreeLODNormalFormat=200

That should not affect the alpha of LOD textures including the ones use by 3D LOD one way or the other. But this way you would be able to check the textures without needing to update your tools.

 

Which RAT mod and which 3D LOD trees are you using? I seem to have no issues with Realistic Aspen Trees SE and the 3D LOD meshes and ..textures\lod\rat\*.dds included in DynDOLOD Resources SE 2.45.

 

This might be problem of the resource textures used for the trees. LOD textures being transparent usually means they were not adjusted for the hard coded alpha threshold of 128.

So the first step would to check the log to identify the LOD models NIFs used for these trees and the textures they are referencing.

The 3D tree LOD report of interest should start be from the line having TreeAspen01 [TREE:0006A9E6] meshes\landscape\trees\treeaspen01.nif and following

 

Also check the log also check for errors or warnings.

Thanks for the update Sheson, and yeah the DynDOLOD generation seems to work fine now.  

 

When would you plan on exiting the beta phase though, and moving all development to a Nexus page?

Once the large reference bugs are fixed or can be patched somehow.

[Martimius]

Isn't it an engine issue though? And Bethesda wouldn't really tweak with the engine just for a fix, they'd do it for the implementation of some CC content of sort.

Well, just like with every other engine issue the community might provide a solution at some point. Actually solutions already exists, theoretically:

 

The most severe bugs only happen with non flagged ESP. Most things work fine when references are overwritten exclusively by ESM or ESL flagged plugins. It should be possible to write a patcher that rigorously removes overwrites from non-flagged ESP and puts them into an ESL-flagged ESP instead.

 

Or, clean all master files including Skyrim.esm from large reference data that is overwritten by non-flagged ESP.

 

Both seem a bit impractical for volatile load orders.

 

Strictly speaking - with the current state of the engine and no fix available - every plugin that is listed by the DynDOLOD log as overwriting large references is at least visually not-compatible with Skyrim Special Edition. A simple approach to work around that, would be to not overwrite large references within a non-flagged ESP. Those overwrites should be in an ESM or ESL flagged plugin as that would at least avoid most of the bugs.

I get the exact same error Vokans reported a few posts above with the message "Exception in unit userscript line 331: One or more errors occurred" in the log. At first I thought it was because of Windows restricting access to files so I set ownership to all DynDOLOD and Skyrim folders. It worked for like once but then I kept getting the same error after running DynDOLOD again.

I can really not do anything about access denied errors coming from the  OS or Antivirus or whatever. Someone ought to check and report what the Windows Event log is saying. Maybe then we will figure it out.

 

However, nobody knows what the error is without an error report with entire contents (not just the last couple lines) of ..\DynDOLOD\bugreport.txt (if it exists) and ..DynDOLOD\Logs\DynDOLOD_[GAMEMODE]_log.txt or a screenshot of the error

Ah darn, there was supposed to be a nice error message instead. It is either something wrong with the plugin - check it in latest xEdit - or something going with the xEdit loader.

 

I will look into this some more and post an update later.

I'm now generating lods... it will takes a long time so I can't give you the log files right now.

I've checked the esp. there're just a few records without error. I'm using xEdit 3.3.5 BETA
