Yeah, CLAMP_S_CLAMP_T on the crown works perfectly, it only fails with the trunk.

I'm using Simplygon now. I'm trying to constrain the trunk UV between [0,1] so that I can use CLAMP_S_CLAMP_T. Do you know what option I should try?

Basic options:

 

Advanced options:

I tried the ReductionPipeline. It decimated the mesh (50% less polys on trunk), but the UV mapping still appears to be the same as before (i.e. not in [0, 1]).

Btw, this is the original full model before decimation of the tree Im working on from NOTW: pinus04.nif

Under Aggregation check SubdividedGeomtryBasedOnUVTiles and set the slider to 1.

Do not install newer alpha version over older versions. Read https://dyndolod.info/Installation-Instructions
Use 7-Zip to unpack the DynDOLOD Standalone archive into a new and empty 'DynDOLOD' directory that is outside of special OS folders like 'Programs Files' or 'Program Files (x86)', User, Documents, Desktop, Download and also not in SteamApps, game, Data or any mod manager folders. For example C:\Modding\DynDOLOD\.

https://dyndolod.info/Updating

If the problem persists after properly unpacking the DynDOLOD Standalone into a new and empty folder, edit D:\Mod Repository\Skyrim SE & VR\tools\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\TexGen_SSE.ini with notepad and add GLDebug=1 to the INI and then run again and upload that log and debug log and bugreport.txt if it exists.

If problem persists, add RenderSingle=1 under [TexGen] to see if it makes a difference.

If not, also add RenderTexturesSingleThread=1 to the INI and test if that makes a difference.

I did a clean install, but it didn't help. I added the RenderSingle=1 afterwards, and that allowed it to complete, but it took 20 times as long. For the kicks, I removed RenderSingle=1 afterwards and re-ran, and got the framebuffer objects unsupported again.

For whatever it's worth - last time I ran this version of TexGen was before the Nvidia driver update - and I had no issues. In fact I have not had any issues with TexGen/Dyndolod in a very very long time.

As explained in several posts previously, the long gen times can be caused by driver-related software (some might say 'bloat'). Disabling all such software via Task manager such that only the NVIDIA/AMD drivers are at work rather than the post-processing --and other 'fancy' algorithms employed by some driver-related software-- are not interfering can vastly improve generation time. Example: I disable all of my AMD sortware, including Adrenaline, when generating any LOD.

I've been fiddling about with my mod list again, trying out different grass and foliage mods and also decided to give ENB water a go. I'm having trouble generating for Solstheim again, though: https://paste.ee/p/tgBuK

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.

Is the error 100% repeatable if you just Execute LODGen again in expert mode for just Solstheim?
https://dyndolod.info/Help/Expert-Mode#Execute-LODGen

Do you mean this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/37061?
Does the error not happen if you remove the mod again?

I have nothing else apart from the drivers themselves. Normally generation takes about 5 minutes, but setting RenderSingle=1 in order to bypass the opengl error made it take more than an hour. I assume this is because it runs a single thread rather than doing multithreading as normal.

I'm getting an issue: DynDOLOD is choosing the wrong passthru_lod file. It's choosing pinus04_599919f0passthru_lod_80pct.nif (an old file in the same folder that I renamed) instead of pinus04_599919f0passthru_lod.nif. Why's this? This is my 3D LODs folder:

This is because filenames with numbers that it tries to apply to lod levels take priority.

If you want to ensure that a nif in the data\meshes folder is not used use MO2 hide feature.

Hi. I need some help.

 

In the past I was using DynDOLOD-Standalone.3.00-Alpha-58, it was working well, not a problem to be found when playing.

But I added a mod that requires rerunning dyndolod so I tried but I got the error "version expired".

 

After installing a new version I got error that there was a problem with Update.esm and USSEP... (Skyrim VR + USSEP 4.1.2a)

I don't want to deal with this as I don't care if there is a problem as I never got CTD when I played last time (over 40h playtime).

 

So the question is simple, how to disable "version expired" check in older versions?

It was working fine enough for me and I don't see a reason to deal with the new version.

Hi sheson,

It seems you may have missed a problem report I posted a couple days ago. Could you take a look at it please when you get a chance? Thanks in advance for your attention.

Remind me again by end of the week if still nessesssry.

I understand your point, but this is my point.

I'm a working adult with limited free time. I have a working mod list (nearly 400 mods) and I found will and a few hours of free time to play today.

I haven't played Skyrim for over half a year and want to spend relaxing time but I can't because of course something broke. And because I deleted the output just before I started creating a new one, I cannot even come back to the working version.

 

Well, today is too late to play anyway, tomorrow I have work so most likely come back to Skyrim after another few months...

Or never :/
