Also, I think my issue with the junipers is that I wasn't checking "visible when distant" on my rule as I didn't think they had vanilla lod and so my rule of "full, billboard4, billboard1" wasn't producing any billboards even past lod level 4. I plan to test this assumption with a run tonight. https://dyndolod.info/Help/Mesh-Mask-Reference-Rules#VWD-Visible-When-Distant explains what the flag controls. The VWD flag determines if the rule is applied or not depending on LOD asset existing or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded a gildergreen tree replacer mod recently, and it seems to include leaves.dds/_n.dds. i did upload that log, initally in the second most recent post, btw. Where is the debug log for DynDOLOD? What is the URL of the mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the DynDOLOD debug log? As explained many times before, disabling mods is a troubleshooting step and not a fix. Preventing a problem from happening by disabling something does not fix the actual cause of the problem. The changes of the mod are now not reflected in the LOD patch. According to your logs, TexGen already completed in about 3 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemistofgor Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 yes, it did complete that quickly. i was simply applauding the improvements that allowed it to do so! I am friends with the mod author of the gildergreen replacer and we are working on a solution on our end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemistofgor Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 it's not the tools, it looks like the author accidentally used the same texture paths that dyndolod is supposed to create. it was a mistake on their end, from my understanding.

chemistofgor Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download DynDOLOD 3 Alpha-132 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.

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.

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.
