Myq’s Garden ignore ini no longer working

[EazyH]

Hey folks. I’m having an issue that’s frustrating me. I’ve been using Myq’s Garden, Which adds a small garden to Whiterun, but when generating with DynDOLOD, it makes a superimposed wall extend outside of the city and cause clipping issues. This was seemingly fixed in the past, as it was a previous issue despite an ini ignoring it for DynDOLOD. When he realized he had a wild edit fixed it, the DynDOLOD ignore ini worked correctly afterwards.

 

Fastforward to yesterday when I’m generating LOD and the issue is back, despite no updates to the mod. I tried multiple times and the issue persists. Then I tried getting around it by deactivating the mod and running, but this just makes arguably worse visual issues when in the city interior. Any thoughts on this? Without sounding like a diva, it’s hard to play the game with either issue being so prominent

The mod places the INI for DynDOLOD in the wrong folder, so it is not found.

Move it from the root data folder into a DynDOLOD sub folder, so it is (virtually) available at the games data folder ..\Data\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_SSE_myqsgardensesp.ini

The filename and folder convention for custom rule files is explained in ..\DynDOLOD\Docs\DynDOLOD_Mod_Authors.html in the standalone archive.

Please disregard the issue I discussed about deactivating the plug-in. This option solve the issue well enough, though I am still unsure why the ignore INI no longer works correctly. deactivating it is the best workaround for now.

Which DynDOLOD version are you using?

Are you sure the plugin name didn't change?

Temporarily disabling plugins is a troubleshooting step and not a fix.

I will take a look at which version of DynDOLOD I’m using when I get home (should be most recent, or incredibly close to the most recent), but the mod has an ini already in the DynDOLOD\Rules folder, that much I’m certain I checked. That’s why I was even more confused. The name of the plugin has not changed and there have been no recent updates

The rules file shipping with the mod is not the DynDOLOD subfolder and that is why no rule is applied.

What I meant was that I checked DynDOLOD’s rules folder and was fairly sure I saw it in there. That being said, there’s a possibility I made a mistake, since I still have one of my old DynDOLOD installations on another harddrive to compare inis. I may have looked at the wrong Rules folder not paying attention. I am trying again with everything enabled and freshly adding it to the folder in a new install.

Sorry, this must’ve been my bad. It seems to have worked correctly this most recent run, so perhaps I was looking at my old installation of DynDOLOD and the Rules folder for that installation, as I was certain the file was in there.
