Whatever was changed in this version, has fixed it. I fast travelled back and forth between Whiterun and Windhelm a couple times, approached the watchtower by foot in between fast travels, and fast travelled from Whiterun to Markarth. 7D3022EC was disabled at the fast travel destination, when coming back to Whiterun, it was enabled again, it disabled properly when approaching the watchtower and re-enabled when moving away. The other dynamic LOD references that were failing before along with 7D3022EC all appeared to work properly (just visually looking at the EWWDSB objects at the watchtower, I can tell the dynamic LODs are properly fading when the watchtower cells attach). I didn't check them exhaustively but there is no reason to believe they all wouldn't be fixed as well. Log for info: DynDOLOD.7z Thanks. Glad you were able to nail it. 1 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 entire DynDOLOD log and debug to upload. Read https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#In-Game-Screenshots how to make useful screenshots with more informative console for at least one affected full model. I did read those, but I still don't understand why you want a full debug log with almost entirely unrelated information, when I have a quite good idea of what could be causing this. I can confirm myself that the object IDs of the affected models are all listed in the SWAP file I attached, no need to use More Informative Console for that. As an example, the centre tower has the model ImpExtTower01 (this is clearly affected, and on the list). In any case, I would have to regenerated all LOD to be able to produce meaningful log files, since last time I used DynDOLOD, I had to repeat the process for a smaller, unrelated worldspace. I always find it a hassle to generate LOD, so this is something I would rather avoid doing too frequently (also the reason why I would rather not update DynDOLOD just to get three versions ahead). If it is of any use for you, the limited debug file I have gives the following entries when searching for ImpExtTower01, but honestly, I think the interesting things would happen further ahead: [00:35] [ProcessSeasonFile] <Debug: Season SUM, swapping record Simple Snow Improvements - Snow Forts.esp ImpExtTower01snow [STAT:FE2BE804] to Skyrim.esm ImpExtTower01 [STAT:0003F1F9]> (loaded twice) ... [01:19] [BuildBaseRecords] <Debug: Looking for impexttower01 for Skyrim.esm ImpExtTower01 [STAT:0003F1F9]> ...

[03:07] [AddModel] <Debug: Meshes\lod\imperial\impexttower01glow_lod_1.nif L1_Windows Shader Flags 1: Specular | Recieve_Shadows | Cast_Shadows | Own_Emit | Remappable_Textures | Decal | Dynamic_Decal | External_Emittance | ZBuffer_Test Skyrim.esm ImpExtTower01 [STAT:0003F1F9]> [03:07] [AddModel] <Debug: Meshes\lod\imperial\impexttower01glow_lod_1.nif L1_Windows Shader Flags 2: ZBuffer_Write | No_Fade | EnvMap_Light_Fade Skyrim.esm ImpExtTower01 [STAT:0003F1F9]> ...

If this would have been fixed already, I would expect it to be listed in the changelog, or at least that you would be aware of the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButchDiavolo Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Hi Sheson, I am having an odd situation with TexGen for which I can't find any information forums. I downloaded a 3d LOD mod for Nature of The Wild Lands yesterday. I have been trying to run TexGen and DynDOLOD. For the most part it works fine, except for 2 billboards. TexGen does not give errors after the run, so it just gives the option to close. When I run DynDOLOD with the TexGen output activated, I get a "Texture not Found" report for 2 nifs. The DynDOLOD reports have no information about it, besides that the textures are missing. Checking the TexGen_SSE_Debug_log.txt, I eventually found two notices concerning the missing textures: [00:10] [TwbRender.SetRenderMax] <Notice: Skipping billboard C:\Games\Tools\DynDOLOD\TexGen_Output\Textures\dyndolod\lod\trees\nature of the wild lands 2.0 - deleted 3d lods\alnus_forest_shrub02_91ed5863_trunk_1. Not enough opaque pixels 0.01 < 0.01> [00:10] [TwbRender.SetRenderMax] <Notice: Skipping billboard C:\Games\Tools\DynDOLOD\TexGen_Output\Textures\dyndolod\lod\trees\nature of the wild lands 2.0 - deleted 3d lods\alnus_forest_shrub06_b0fc1baa_trunk_1. Not enough opaque pixels 0.00 < 0.01> I have never seen that message before and have no idea what that means/ causes it. Apparently I am (so far) the only one with this error and the mod author has been very helpful in trying to solve it, but he can't replicate it. So I am hoping you can give me some insight in what could cause it and how I can correct it. I have attached only the zipped TexGen logs, since DynDOLOD has no further mention about it beside the textures missing. Thanks in advance for you help!

It could be a result of the full textures. You should check the preview. In my quick test with the current version of the mods and default settings (with units per pixel 11 or 5.5) there is no such message or problem.

Since you also didn't have this issue, I figured something in my set up was wrong. So I decided to reinstall the mods involved and DynDOLOD. I ran TexGen again and had no warnings! Then I remembered that I had forgotten to change the ini's to what STEP advises and re-ran TexGen, which promptly brought the errors back... Figuring the issue concerns trees, opaque pixels/ transparency (=alpha right?) and STEP advising to set "TreeMSAlphaThreshold=144", I changed that back to the original 96 and it works again. Still no idea why just those two billboards were affected though. I then ran DynDOLOD and again no errors this time. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

As I suggested, check the preview. Comparing them might show a difference, though it is possible the TreeMSAlphaThreshold setting is only really visible in the generated billboard. The billboards most likely have a high transparent to opaque pixel ratio and by changing the threshold it will be over the BillboardDiscardRatio. You could lower it to have the billboards still be generated and then check the result. The settings of modding guides typically apply to the specific mods and setup of the guide. It would be a good idea to learn what settings do before changing them for custom load orders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tools experience a long running time, then the first thing to do, is to do a clean install of the graphics driver only. Alternatively terminate all the crapware that is shown in the screenshot via task manager so they are not running when using the tools. 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. Read https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#In-Game-Screenshots how to make useful in game screenshots with more informative console and textual explanations of what is being shown. The screenshot of Whiterun is pretty much self explanatory, however the screenshots from Windhelm are not. Also compare Windhelm to vanilla. The only way for it to have a good representation in Tamriel is to use Open/Exterior Cities. Do not set ScanChild=1 in DynDOLOD_SSE_childworld_WhiterunDragonsreachWorld.ini Do not set ScanChild=0 in DynDOLOD_SSE_childworld_WhiterunWorld.ini Only one child worldspace in an overlapping area should be scanned and it needs to be WhiterunWorld in this case, so it works with the mesh mask/reference rules.

If making screenshots of the LOD area, also make screenshots of the close-up object or full model for comparison. Note that tree LOD or object LOD does not have a form ID. To determine if something is LOD, toggle LOD on/off with tll in console. In that case, also walk close to an object, so its reference with the full model is loaded in order to get its form ID and provide that screenshot of the full model in addition to the screenshot of the LOD.
