DynDOLOD 3.00 Alpha 169

[chemistofgor]

i do not have a debug log for dyndolod. i apologize, man, i'm just trying to help. as soon as i disabled that mod, because that is what this log said was the issue: LODGen_SSE_Tamriel_log.txt it started working just fine. i assumed it must have been the problem.

The log and debug log are saved when the program shuts down Do not interrupt the shut down process so it can write the log files. If there are no logs or debug logs because the tool is being terminated prematurely, check the Windows Event log for related messages. Add RealTimeLog=1 under [TexGen] or [DynDOLOD] in ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\[TexGen|DynDOLOD]_[GAME MODE].INI respectively. Then execute the tool again to generate a debug log in the Logs folder in real time and upload that.

Generating with it should let LODGen then be able to generate object LOD without problem.

 

3D tree LOD assets included in the mod have a couple problems that should be fixed:

<Warning: File not found textures\landscape\trees\leaves_n2k.dds. Used by meshes\dyndolod\lod\trees\wrtempletreesapling01_e75a46ffpassthru_lod.nif Gildergreen Is Really Thicc HD.esp TreeWRTempleSapling01 [TREE:000461D7]>
<Warning: File not found textures\landscape\trees\branches_n2k.dds. Used by meshes\dyndolod\lod\trees\wrtempletree02_f3e8c380passthru_lod.nif Gildergreen Is Really Thicc HD.esp TreeWRTemple02 [TREE:000461C9]>

This should probably be textures\landscape\trees\leaves_n.dds and textures\landscape\trees\branches_n.dds instead. https://dyndolod.info/Messages/File-Not-Found-Textures

Also WRTempleTreeSapling01_E75A46FFpassthru_lod.nif seems define a glow map texture erroneously.

 

<Warning: Root block is NiNode in meshes\dyndolod\lod\trees\wrtempletreesapling01_e75a46ffpassthru_lod.nif Gildergreen Is Really Thicc HD.esp TreeWRTempleSapling01 [TREE:000461D7]>
<Warning: Root block is NiNode in meshes\dyndolod\lod\trees\wrtempletree02_f3e8c380passthru_lod.nif Gildergreen Is Really Thicc HD.esp TreeWRTemple02 [TREE:000461C9]>
<Warning: Root block is NiNode in meshes\dyndolod\lod\trees\wrtempletree01_9e62d585passthru_lod.nif Gildergreen Is Really Thicc HD.esp TreeWRTemple01 [TREE:00023611]>

The root node should be BSFadeNode. This prevents the tree from being showing in Tamriel by dynamic LOD. https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Root-Block

 

<Warning: Textures do not match for "Scene Root:1": textures\landscape\trees\branches.dds in wrtempletree02.nif -> textures\landscape\trees\trunk.dds in wrtempletree02_f3e8c380passthru_lod.nif for Gildergreen Is Really Thicc HD.esp TreeWRTemple02 [TREE:000461C9]>

The 3D shape names should match between the full model and the 3D LOD model.

 

Also the LOD models do not need the BSXFlags Havok/Articulated since they do not have those features. If all BSXFlags are unset, the BSXFlags block can be removed.

getting lines on side of reach trees. am using enhanced vanilla trees which do not touch reach trees. apparently its a mipmap issue but i have no mods affecting reach trees or textures.

As explained, always use the latest version.

hi sheson, here are the logs https://www.mediafire.com/file/ziofbvoaiycxpfy/logs.zip/file

 

i do not think i am using any tree replacers, just mods that make trees smaller. only reach trees have the line issue. i am not using any billboards, only dyndolod resources and requirements. settings used are from the latest step guide

Disable TexGen output. In MO2 right window, Data tab, unfold [+] Textures, [+] Terrain, [+] LODGen etc. if there are any files listed at all, they should be removed/hidden in their respective mod folders. Then generate\enable TexGen, generate LOD.

If problem happens with no ..\Textures\Terrain\LODGen\ folder listed with TexGen ouput disabled, let me know.

ive just come back from generating fresh texgen and fresh dyndolod from scratch and the problem still persists. this time i disabled the mod which made trees smaller as i thought this was causing the problem.

 

i saw no files under the lodgen folder tree when texgen was disabled

Upload a screenshot of the full model of an affected tree, with console open, clicking the tree to show its form id etc. with More informative console installed as explained https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#In-Game-Screenshots

In the MO2 right window Data tab, at the bottom is a filter field, enter reachtree01_000b8a73, the tree view should automatically list reachtree01_000b8a73.dds, reachtree01_000b8a73.txt etc. and as the source the TexGen output you generated last. Zip and upload all those files to a file service.

Also upload ..\Textures\DynDOLOD\LOD\DynDOLOD_Tamriel.dds from the DynDOLOD output.

In MO2 right window Data tab, at the bottom is a filter field, enter reachtree01.nif, the tree view should tell you which mod the model is from. Let me know the mod, best with link to Nexus

hi sheson. apologies for late reply i had to leave to do something but i think i may have found the culprit. while i went off i reran texgen/dyndolod with this https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/96484?tab=files

disabled and my reach trees came out fine/no lines. i am rerunning texgen and dyndolod again with smallers trees enabled so narrow down the culprit

The mod you linked does not contain any billboards, no reachtree01.nif and no textures.

All I asked was to make sure there are no 3rd party billboards and to upload a list of specific files and the name of the mod that might be replacing reachtree01.nif.

The latest alpha 132 runs without issue for the latest Step dev build, and the results look good after some brief testing.

• Using DynDOLOD DLL NG
• Selected Parent > Child

I did not notice any performance hit using Parent > Child either inside Whiterun or outside the gates (similar performance to previous alphas on my system). I'll try Child > Parent at some point to confirm. I believe the doc says the 'Low' setting is effectively what applied in previous alphas, so I will test High & Low at some point for performance/quality comparison.

Logs for reference if anyone is interested.
