DynDOLOD Error: List index out of bounds (-1)

[shiholude]

Good evening.

 

Trying to redo my DynDOLOD, and got the following error.  It seems to be pointing at my own BA_LocationTweaks.esp file, but I'm unsure where to find the corresponding item in xEdit (the file is quite large). I've gone through both my file and Skyrim.esm, but cannot find the referenced numbers to track down what is wrong.

 

Could someone point me in the right direction? My general interpretation of this is that my file is attempting to place an LOD activator (a water source) somewhere at 63, -42, but there is no reference at that point, or perhaps it is a dead reference (not sure how that is possible, but i've seen stranger things pho sho).

Development:

 

I found 16 occurrences where "Water1024River" is called out in my mod and where the coordinates match 63, -42. There are easily over 100 of these Water River references, so I was pleased to find these among the (more than) 2000 persistent references in the file. 

 

Nothing states "_DynDOLOD_LOD", which I assume is an extension/suffix placed by this mod during it's conversation/workings?

 

Of these 16, none match the REFR: xx00E793 or the ACTI:xx002154 numbers seen above. Am I compeltely looking int he wrong spot here?

Post/pastebin/upload the entire log and bugreport if it exists.

 

The error typically means a reference is placed with a position for which no cell exist. So it does not make sense to place references there. Either remove the reference or add a cell for its position.

Here is the entire log:

Read the rest of the post and communicate in case there is no bugreport.txt or in case the cell does exist.

 

If the cell does not exist create it or remove the reference.

That's where I'm confused. Where should the cell exist? I cannot find anything named "Water1024River_DynDOLOD_LOD" anywhere in my entire load order list. I can find "Water1024River", but nothing with the additional "_DynDOLOD_LOD" to narrow this down as to where it *should* be, in order to determine if it needs to be added or deleted. 

 

This is very frustrating.

You posted it yourself already:

 

BA_LocationTweaks.esp adds new references like xx0D6DC3.

 

Their x,y position resolves to cell 63, -42

 

A cell with those coordinates does not exist in the vanilla game. This can happen when editing plugins in xEdit. CK should automatically add the cell.

 

Either the cell should be be added or the references removed. 

 

Adding a cell can be done with xEdit right clicking onto the Tamriel worldspace 3C in BA_LocationTweaks.esp, Add, Cell, Temporary...

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this in greater detail. I wasn't grasping whether I had to dig through the creation kit or I was missing something in my xEdit search!

 

I will try the CK route and see if it fixes things over there first. 

 

Many kudos!

Creation Kit load n save efforts seem to have worked to allow this to move past the hangup! It crashed on me once, but I think i got to poking around too much without ensuring that the cells corrected themselves some first. 

 

I have a ton of navmesh fixes to work through now, but at least I got an optimized DynDOLOD now!

 

Thank you sheson, again, for the great help!

Great to hear. You are welcome.
