I had to downgrade somewhere along the way to get meshes and textures to fit another mod. I have long since left that mod behind. Would getting Version 1.3 fix the issue potentially? Yes it would. So would 1.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just regenerating my LOD for a new trees plugin/new mods and the DynDOLOD process keeps getting stuck 45 minutes into generation with no errors to be seen, it just kinda dies. See attached screenshot, it completes all the object LODGen.exe popups and then once the final window closes, DynDOLOD just doesn't update or generate the .esp/occlusion data. Just sits like this, not updating the time elapsed or anything. I also included folder information/current time/task manager useage to try to provide as much info as I can. Immediately after the exe's finished Taking Your Firstborn was at about 1,600 MB and since has dropped dramatically and is just staying around 436 MB. After about 30 minutes of non responsiveness I really don't know if it's just "taking a long time" or something is wrong, as I have never had problems with the LOD gen process like this before. Quick update, now, 45 minute after the exe's finished, memory usage has dropped to about 15 MB. I assume this means the process is not gonna complete and I have literally no idea what's going on to cause it to not. Hello I' keep having the same issue, sometime with TexGen, sometimes avec Dyndolod, the process dies out and I have to kill the task in taskmanager. And If I try another time, it dies at an other place, and sometimes, it goes to the end (with the same load order and plugings and MODS) I use version 155 and I noticed that in task manager, all the process used to be under the MO task, but now, they are "outside" MO (they seem independant). Don't know if it's related to a Windows update or to the recent updates of Dyndolod (i don't have older versions of Dyndolod to try). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamrieltwo Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Hi sheson, Could I add 2 extra planes to the billboard mesh for use in LOD4? So instead of two intersecting planes, I'll have four intersecting planes, like in the screenshot. I want to make billboards look less boxy/blocky in LOD4. Do you think it would work? I will put billboard01.dds on two of the planes, and billboard02.dds on the other two. Interested to hear your thoughts/feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding more planes does not affect how textures look. https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum Test using Billboard3 which has 3 planes. For best visuals use 3D tree LOD. billboard01.dds or billboard02.dds will not work. They need to be billboard_1.dds or billboard_2.dds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerkesiz Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) https://ufile.io/y3gu9ned Started xLodgen with resources after finish disabled resources (LOD4 quality 0) and copied output to mo2 Started Texgen didnt touch any settings finished without error (didnt check logs) and copied output to mo2 Started DynDOLOD and "broken tamriel lods" error occurred. Mods I suspect : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/38775 (Cleaned SE textures) https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/32973 (Tamrielic Textures SE1) And SMIM was already installed. But after the error, I reinstalled it. I hope this solves the problem. Edited October 14, 2023 by Gerkesiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the first post and/or https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which DynDOLOD log to also upload when making posts. Also upload the SSELODGen_log.txt from xLODGen terrain LOD generation. Do not limit generation of terrain LOD meshes to LOD level 4 only. Permanently remove the broken terrain LOD meshes added by another mod. Make sure that the mod you created from the xLODGen output is not being overwritten by any other mod.

The tree report snippet you posted already explains why: 3D LOD model not found cg4_tree_elm01_8B64A258 https://dyndolod.info/Help/Ultra-Tree-LOD#Generating https://dyndolod.info/Help/3D-Tree-LOD-Model In order to match 3D tree LOD models to full models, the filenames of the 3D tree LOD models contain the CRC32 checksum of the full model. With both the filename and the CRC32 checksum, shared archives of 3D static LOD models for trees can be created without having to worry about load order or overwrite order as each version will have a unique LOD filename. For example, the filename for a full model tree with the filename treepineforest01.nif and a CRC32 checksum of 8E204123 becomes treepineforest01_8E204123passthru_lod.nif. Check ..\DynDOLOD\Logs\DynDOLOD_[GAME MODE]_Tree_Report.txt for the 3D tree LOD model filenames that are being looked for. There will be an entry like 3D LOD model not found treeaspen01_XXXXXXXX. That means the filename is should be treeaspen01_XXXXXXXpassthru_lod.nif. A 3D tree LOD file with the filename cg4_tree_elm01_8B64A258passthru_lod.nif was not found.
