Here's my debug file. Sorry it was 1GB and took a while to upload to the share site. https://ufile.io/9qt0eitz I think this is the one asked for in the OP.

No I haven't checked it yet. I know how to open BSAs, but I don't really know what I'm looking at when I do. haha Should I open it and upload those files to the share site and post here?

Yea, I forgot to disable the SSE-Terrain-Tamriel-Full-Extended.esm plugin. I reran my xlodgen yesterday to correct some other missing world space issues and forgot to disable that plugin.

I ran Dyndolod again last night without that plugin or the Celtic plugins and I'm still getting the file not found meshes\sess_lod\rocks\rockl04_lod_1.nif.

Anything else I can provide that would be helpful?

Edit: I extracted the BSA and it's nothing but .xwm files.

 

The BSA error is irrelevant.

The actual problem that needs to be fixed is the missing LOD asset. Install the missing file.

Hello, I am getting the OpenGL Invalid operation when I run Textgen3.0 alpha. I am running a 7900xtx and the newest AMD Ryzen 9 7950x. I am running the program using the graphic card not the integrated graphics.  No antivirus or crapware installed on my system. I have tried the test build mentioned in this forum for the AMD issue and it does not work still. I am also using mod organizer 2 with no other mods installed. My AMD driver is 22.12.1. I am using the program on skyrim vr. Is there any fix.

Unpack stitched.frag from the attached archive to..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\Shaders\stitched.frag and let me know if it works or upload new logs, including bugreport.txt if it exists.

Edit: Use latest alpha version. It has the updated stitched.frag included.

So do I just need to copy rockl04_lod_0.nif to rockl04_lod_1.nif in the Dyndolod Resources SE Mod Folder?  Or am I missing a file that should have been in one of my mods? Thanks for the help!

You are missing a file that should have been in 'Solitude Exterior Sovngarde Statue Set'. The warning tells you which file:

File not found meshes\sess_lod\rocks\rockl04_lod_1.nif

Notice the file path: meshes\sess_lod\... is a folder specific to that SESS mod.

Thank you for that! I tracked 'Solitude Exterior Sovngarde Statue Set' down to Modular PatchXPress (MPXP). rockl04_lod_1.nif was in it's mod folder under the meshes as I would expect it to be. I would much rather it had been missing, because now I'm completely lost as to what's going on. Why does Dyndolod not recognize this file's existence? Is this most likely user error on my part somewhere, a problem with the mod, or a Dyndolod error?

It's weird that I had previously searched my mod folder for "rockl04_lod_1.nif" and it didn't find it. Gotta love windows.

It's unclear where "you would expect it to be" really is. DynDOLOD expects it to be in meshes > sess_lod  > rocks, as that is where the mod plugin says it should be.

Fair point. This is my location:

\AppData\Local\ModOrganizer\Skyrim Special Edition\mods\Modular PatchXPress (MPXP)\meshes\00_lod\rocks

The mod recently had a massive overhaul in its file structure by adding a FOMOD. I wonder if that's causing this problem.

Are you not seeing that 00_lod is not the same as sse_lod?

No. The linked discussion is irrelevant.

See https://dyndolod.info/Messages/File-Not-Found-Meshes

The error message tells you the plugin and base record that expects the NIF to be at the mentioned path. Find out which mod contains the plugin Solitude Exterior Sovngarde Statue Set V.esp and check its installation, requirements and options. Typically the mod installer installs its required LOD assets. Make sure you use its latest version and have installed its requirements.

Maybe the mod author made a mistake. Check the mods comments and bug reports.

DynDOLOD, like every other program, use OS functions to check if a file exists or to read/write files. The OS tells DynDOLOD, that the file does not exist at that location.

The path DynDOLOD queries is:
H:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\meshes\sess_lod\rocks\rockl04_lod_1.nif

It is the OS that is telling DynDOLOD the file does not exist at that path.

I do. That's what I was referring to in my latter comment. The folder structure was created by the mod author. I don't know why Dyndolod would be looking for what I think is the old folder structure. I don't understand this stuff well enough to know whether 00_lod was intentional by the mod author or if it's an error on his part.

I'll go run this down from that end now. Thank you for the information!

Are you saying that your version of the base record FExxx805 in Solitude Exterior Sovngarde Statue Set V.esp does not define that path for the MNAM - Distant LOD levels?

Use xEdit or CK to check the base record.

Sorry it took me a while to figure out how to find the information to answer your question. haha Yes, it does define the path in xedit exactly as Dyndolod specifies this. I've submitted a bug report on the mod's nexus page. The mod author responds and intends to fix it in a future update. Sorry about wasting y'alls time on a nondyndolod bug.

No need to apologize. If the result is a fix, it is time well spent.

Created an account to report that VR works amazing with the latest Alpha. I went for lower end specs and everything for the LOD as I want to minimize possible issues for VR headset streaming, and this does pretty well with it. Far better than default VR lod which was more trash than something that is complete garbage.

There was _one_ mod I almost used that would have issues (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/54907), because of occlusion plane edits. I decided to go with the occlusion file generated by DynDOLOD instead though.

 

Also, I like the cow. wasn't sure what the fomod was asking, so I clicked it, and as soon as I saw it, I knew it to be the correct option.
