DynDOLOD Beta for Skyrim Special Edition, Skyrim VR and Enderal SE 2.98

[sheson]

in the game it says the dyndolod is successful too without errors but im getting a lot of pop-in. are there any other logs i should attach? this log file was too big to upload here

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AjAH0nJC2zy7bGUj8kStyAcER9nbu5Xu

There are many different generations in the log file. For the last one the log shows DynDOLOD completed successfully without any errors.

 

Always enable tree LOD generation.

 

>I followed the instructions here but I still can't get dyndolod to work :(

 

What is this supposed to mean? It you got TexGen and DynDOLOD to work just fine.

Define what you mean by pop-in.

 

Maybe make a before/after screenshot from Whiterun surroundings from the Throat of the World to compare.

Hey sheson, 

 

good to see that Dyndolod is still getting updates. 

 

I know this is a concern that will probably cause some PTSD for you (just joking..), but is there any TL;DR conclusions regarding the Large Reference bugs and possible solutions?

 

I want to go back to hardcore modding, but I can't stand having this weird flickering after installing mods like RWT2 and JK's Skyrim. I don't remember if Arthmoor's mods are safe to use with respect to the Large Reference bugs - if they aren't, that means pretty much everyone would be prone to experiencing these bugs because those mods are essential.

 

Kind Regards

David

The bugs are caused by non ESM flagged plugins containing overwrites for large references. Setting IsInitiallyDisabled on a large reference in any plugin type can trigger the bugs.

 

Setting uLargeRefLODGridSize=5 will disable the system. A solution is to set the ESM flag on such plugins and then run Skyrim SE - Generate Large References.pas included xEdit.

 

DynDOLOD prints a list of every large reference modified by a non ESM flagged plugin.

Thank you for the hint with the xEdit script. I would highly suggest to add this to the RTFM in case that hasn’t been included to date Edited May 21, 2019 by David2408

It should be good enough to simply reinstall all of those normally with MO to replace the files that somehow became corrupted.

2 of my 8 memory DIMMs was failing, I removed them and Dyndolod work as intended now

I noticed the issue by running memtest (Some of my RAM intensible workloads was crashing recently...)

 

Thank for your help

Hey guys, I seem to be having an issue with Dyndolod finishing. I've followed Lexy's LOTD guide and at the last step of generating the LODs. I keep getting to a point where i get this error (full paste bin below):

 

[00:18:29.631] Creating atlas textures F:\Games\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\SkyrimSEModding\ModOrganizer2\mods\DynDOLOD Output\Textures\DynDOLOD\LOD\DynDOLOD_DLC01FalmerValley.dds from 45 textures

I've made sure, I think, that all the relevant folders have full access permissions but I'm at loss on what else to do...

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

From the DynDOLOD Standalone archive copy the content of the 'DynDOLOD' folder, which contains the files DynDOLOD.exe, TexGen.exe, DynDOLOD_QuickStart.html and the sub folders 'Docs' and 'Edit Scripts' with all their content into a new 'DynDOLOD' folder outside of special OS folders like 'Programs Files' or 'Program Files (x86)', the SteamApps or game folders and Mod Organizers virtual file structure. Do not mix with old versions or xEdit installation.

 

DynDOLOD Standalone has been installed to F:\Games\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\DynDOLOD Special Edition\

DynDOLOD Standalone is not a Steam application. DynDOLOD Standalone is not part of any game.

 

... set the output path to a dedicated directory. It should be outside of the game and MO virtual file structure. 

 

Somehow you managed to set the output path to  F:\Games\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\SkyrimSEModding\ModOrganizer2\mods\DynDOLOD Output\

 

Which is again, inside Steam/Game folders and also a folder controlled by MO.

 

 

Fix these issues first. If the problem continues, test if it is possible to generate LOD for DLC01FalmerValley only.

 

 

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

Thanks for the quick reply Sheson, will give that a try. It's strange as Lexys guide I'm following suggested putting the output path as the MO mod folder.

 

Sounds like I'm best off having Dyndolod in the root of a drive along with the output folder and then manually adding it to the MO mods folder when completed?

From the manual:

 

Copy/move generated files from output path including DynDOLOD plugins and the folders 'meshes', 'skse' and 'textures' to Skyrim 'Data' directory. If updating an existing DynDOLOD plugins overwrite all older files. If using a mod manager compress the files into an archive and install the archive as a mod as shown in the videos.

[shodan]

So moving the installation and output into the root worked a charm! Feeling slightly foolish to not have read those steps properly in the first place.

 

Thanks for your help and your hardwork, Sheson !

Thanks for the greatest mod.

But..I'm experiencing these weird 3d tree lods after update my dyndolod with recently released dyndolod standalone 2.63. Other lod seems fine but only 3d tree lods.

I already installed tree billboards and checked them fine. Reinstalled dyndolod too. Can I get your opinion about this problem?

Those are billboards. I can not tell if they are done as traditional tree LOD or in object LOD.

 

 

FAQ: Game: Tree LOD: LOD trees do not match close-up full model trees 

 

A: Doublecheck billboards and billboard load order. Open console, click on full model tree to get form id like 000185C7. Lookup this FormID top left in xEdit, bringing up the tree reference in the right pane. Find the form id of the 'NAME - Base', like TreeAspen01 [TREE:0006A9E6]. Search in Textures\Terrain\LODGen\ subfolders for files with that number, like TreeAspen01_0006A9E6.dds and TreeAspen01_0006A9E6.txt. Replace files with correct versions. 

 

A: The DynDOLOD log will print a detailed list for each tree which billboard (and 3D LOD model if applicable) it is using. Use the base form id like 0006A9E6 to easily find the entries in the log.

 

=======================================================================

 

FAQ: Game: Tree LOD: LOD trees textures cut off mid-way

 

A: The tree texture atlas like Textures\Terrain\Tamriel\Trees\TamrielTreeLod.dds does not belong to the generated tree LOD in Meshes\Terrain\Tamriel\Trees\*.*

 

A: Verify that the tree texture atlas Textures\Terrain\Tamriel\Trees\TamrielTreeLod.dds and the tree LOD in Meshes\Terrain\Tamriel\Trees\*.* are the ones from the DynDOLOD output folder and from the same LOD generation process and none of the files are overwritten by other mods.

Hi,

 

 

Whatever I change when generating DynDOLOD (medium; high) + TexGen, of course.

 

At Solitude harbour, the main Solitude tower always flickering for me, till I reach a relatively closer look:

 

 

 

 

ATM, I have no idea why?

And, how can solve it?

 

 

Thanks!

Sounds like large reference bugs. Set uLargeRefLODGridSize=5 in SkyrimPrefs.INI to check if it goes away.

I have set it to:

 

uLargeRefLODGridSize=11

 

So, set a lower value?!

 

Okay, I'll try...

 

(I use ULTRA settings)
