DynDOLOD 3.00 Alpha 173

I got error when running TexGen, it said 

Quote

Can not find file textures\arnimatextures\farmhouse\cyrodiilfarmstucco02.dds

Here is the last Debug log for Texgen, the rest of the Debug log seems fine.

P/s: I installed the DyndoLOD Resource SE 3 as in the first post mentioned, running TexGenx64.exe

cyrodiilfarmstucco02.dds is part of Beyond Reach and the texture is required because arnima.esm is in the load order.

Thank you, I just went to the folder and see that the file is missing, and also I'm using old version, not the latest Beyond Reach. I'll try updating to the latest Beyond Reach to see.

One more question please. If I update, and the error is still there, what can I do? Should I disable the arnima.esm and run TexGen again?

If you want to continue an existing save game, make sure the update is possible.

In any case, if the texture exists at the path it will be found. So i an update is not possible, you can copy any other texture to that path/filename. It won't be really used for LOD since the older version do have the new farmhouses that require that texture.

Yeah, looks like I'll need a new save, that's fine for me. I also check the preview content, and I saw the files in there. Time to upgrade some big mods and start new game for me anyway.

Just reporting that Alpha 41 ran for me without a hitch. I used grass settings, terrain underside, and occlusion.

You are doing grass LOD, so the BTO are considerable larger than normal and by default it tries to read 4 at the same time. It works for me with vanilla grass LOD. DynDOLOD peaks at 8 or 9 GB in task manager for me then.

Edit ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_SSE.ini and set OcclusionMaxThreadsObjectLOD=3, 2 or 1 and keep an eye on peak working set in task manager if you can.

 

OK, I'll test that tonight and report back.

Yes, it forgets to zip Occlusion.esp. Just use save & exit for now.

Will be fixed next version.

You are participating  in an alpha test...

From ..\DynDOLOD\docs\help\OcclusionCulling.html:
In case of updating an existing DynDOLOD installation with a dedicated Occlusion.esp, also keep Occlusion.esp activated and make sure it loads last right after DynDOLOD.esp. The Occlsusion data and Plugin checkboxes will be enabled automatically.

This also means you should be able to start the entire load order with the DynDOLOD output/plugins with DynDOLOD, only select Occlusion data and unselect Object LOD, Tree LOD, Dynamic LOD etc. to only generate Occlusion. It should just create it.

In case generating Occlusion.esp only with DynDOLOD does not work out yet:

It also possible to update or generate a new Occlusion.esp with xLODGen at any time.

I updated my post. Just start with the existing DynDOLOD ouput/plugin and without any Occlusion. That is supposed to work as well.

If not, use xLODgen.

I used OcclusionMaxThreadsObjectLOD=1 and no errors showed in the debug. I'll play with it more later and try 2/3, but as long as 1 works I'm not going to worry about it. Or maybe I'll just upgrade to 64 gig.

like when i changed my tree mod, for update i just need keep current texgen output active and disable dyn, run tex only check tree option to update, and enable dyn and only select tree option, it will do and save time?

and do i need update occlusion if i change tree or grass or water mod?
