I wanna remove grass lods from my save, do I need to make a clean save process or can i just go into an interior and load up the new output instead?

Logs

There are no warning or error messages that match the list of messages that trigger the Summary to be created. Not getting a Summary at the end is the expected behavior when modding properly and only using well made mods with the large reference bugs workarounds.

https://dyndolod.info/Messages
For certain warning and error messages DynDOLOD and TexGen create a summary of messages and opens it in the default web browser.

https://dyndolod.info/Help/Summary-Of-Messages
DynDOLOD and TexGen create a summary of some similar warning and error messages for easier review and better understanding.

Is there a reason you are generating the terrain heightmap textures? Is there mod that uses them?

https://dyndolod.info/Help/Clean-Save
The clean procedure only needs to be done if generating new DynDOLOD output from scratch ...
There is no need for a clean save when updating existing DynDOLOD plugins and/or Occlusion.esp.

Thanks. I presumed that the Summary would be generated if any warnings were triggered, so this is good to know.

The term "heightmap" is throwing me off here. I wanted the terrain 'underside' in case EVLaS would benefit, and I wanted the 'occlusion' obviously.

I'm running WTT and MM, so please educate me on this.

Thanks again

I see now this setting:

; Set to 1 to create terrain heightmap textures
DoTerrainHeightMap=1

I don't recall changing it from the default, so I may have done so in conflating with the next setting:

; Set to 1 to export object LOD heightmaps with LODGen and add its heights to the terrain heightmap textures, requires DoTerrainHeightMap=1
DoObjectHeightMap=1

... so I'm maybe confusing this with occlusion data.

The terrain underside and occlusion are enabled automatically if using the wizard or from the advanced settings. The occlusion generation uses a binary object LOD height map (LODGenHeightMap=1 INI setting) created by LODGen while it generates object LOD, so xLODGen/DynDOLOD do not need to read/process all BTOs anymore.

Exporting the heightmap texture (DoTerrainHeightMap=1 with DoObjectHeightMap=1 or not) might be useful for  mod authors for further processing. It might be possible that community shaders or something similar could use it for coarse distance shadows/occlusion some day. Though it seems screen space shadows has sufficient results.

Hello I need a bit of help figuring out a CTD issue I'm having. It happens randomly when entering and then leaving a cell. Disabling Dyndolod fixes this issue from all the testing I have done. Here is a Crash Log 1 https://pastebin.com/fdFxcYTD and Crash Log 2 https://pastebin.com/Px1gih72. I have more for different areas too from my testing If needed I will post.

Read the first post and/or https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which DynDOLOD log and debug log to upload when making posts.

Also upload ..\DynDOLOD\Logs\DynDOLOD_SSE_Object_Report.txt

Sorry about that here are the files https://ufile.io/hknvcf8k  https://ufile.io/11czofqt and https://ufile.io/2mrndjbj

The first two links are the TexGen log and debug log, also upload the DynDOLOD log and debug.

What mod is Meshes\water\2fmwater1024.nif from?

[MarkAim]

https://ufile.io/5bmcbh2n and https://ufile.io/y19qfgkq  As for the  2fmwater1024.nif when checking in Mod Organizer it say from Dyndolod_Output that what was generate when running Dyndolod

The attached archvie contains a new dynamic LOD mesh for that water plane, which you can merge with the existing DynDOLOD Resoures SE 3 installation for example (it will be included in its next version)

2fmwater.zip

Once installed, generate new DynDOLOD output, which should hopefully then not try to use the full model for LOD anymore causing issues.

If the issue persists upload new crash log, DynDOLOD_SSE_Object_Report.txt, DynDOLOD log and debug log.

Hi!

After running Dyndolod Alpha 173 which as far as I can see finished successfully, Loot reports a cyclic interaction between Project Rainforest.esp [Master Flag] and Dyndolod.esm [Master]. Dyndolod_SSE.log and the Dyndolod.esm are available at the link.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1awW_aQRQ0--dGKfPJSpw0skT2qGVwiMl?usp=drive_link

Thank you for your help in advance.

 

Best regards
