fractalbase Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Hi, I recently tried generating DynDOLOD, and DynDOLOD seems to crash without a bug report before prompting that generation is complete and should the 3 plugins be generated. Looking at the output folder, all the loose files appear to be there. The logs that I happen to have (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18Hw-2mZiFWUgP4rL76fVupr-6SWAAqJe?usp=sharing) are from the previous run of DynDOLOD where future progress was halted because DynDOLOD detected an enabled plugin with a certain error that should be fixed. Log files like bugreport.txt weren't generated. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you scroll down the rules you should see 3 rules with the plugin name, the first one should be legacyofthedragonborn.esm;0076B865 that sets all LOD levels and Grid to None. Generating the LOD patch with the rules in place, you should then see the museum in the Tamriel worldspace, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abendaron Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Hi, First of all, I'm back to Skyrim and it's amazing to see how DynDOLOD/TexGen has improved over the years! I encountered a behavior I couldn't explain: https://imgur.com/a/rc5ClF5 (first picture taken with the tfc command) Some buildings, here in Solitude, have both their lod and full model loaded. You can see it on the pic as I set the LOD atlas resolution to 16x16. Also "tll" command effectively disable lod for the building. It looks like a Large Reference Bug, but only affecting some buildings in the cell (for example, for the blue palace, the full model is used without the bug). I did the test without any other plugins. Disabling DynDOLOD esm and esp solved the problem. Only "Object Lod" was checked for the generation (no parent > child or other options) I think it's usually hard to see as in this case, both lod and full model use the same low poly mesh in vanilla Skyrim, but when using regular one (like in the second pic) it's more noticeable. I will continue my testing to see if I can isolate the root cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User77111 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 sheson, I am developing a skyrim overhaul and will be using dyndolod 3. I am beyond impressed with how the program functions although I have a few issues I would like to report on. I am using skyrim 3d trees + the 3d LODs included on the skyrim 3d trees mod page. When generating 3d tree LOD with the latest version of xLODgen the LOD tree branches look like this: When generating 3d tree LOD with the latest version of DynDOLOD 3.0 the LOD tree branches look like this: It adds an outline to the leaf textures when using DynDOLOD. Also getting this issue with skyrim 3d trees as well when using DynDOLOD, and not when using 3d tree LOD generation on xLODGen: https://imgur.com/a/cTsPoSH This happens for only one tree snow model. s3dtrees_treepineforestsnow04.nif Also when using a new save on DynDOLOD 3.0 I get this issue in the distant terrain in Solstheim: https://imgur.com/a/CUzbUZb You can see there are black lines in the distant terrain that disappear when you are closer to them. Sometime this bug not present on older saves. One more thing. I used LOD32 generation on the world map and was wondering how to change the brightness of the snow textures on these objects: Here are all my log files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cZTr6s83idVRMZpVZBhxrwDsHHYtmjy_/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not install any 3rd party billboards. It probably won't affect anything regarding the 3D tree LODs. Regarding the terrain in Solstheim, lower the underside or increase its quality in the advanced options https://dyndolod.info/Help/Advanced-Mode#Terrain-Underside or increase terrain LOD distance https://dyndolod.info/Help/Mod-Configuration-Menu#Settings Regarding snow on the map, see https://dyndolod.info/Help/Snow-Ash-LOD-Shader#Map https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Textures-Do-Not-Match Remove the outdated LOD models for DynDOLOD 2.x.

User77111 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Removed the old tree billboards and will try again. Thanks! Btw, should we still be using HD LOD Textures SE? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User77111 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 And as for Large Reference Bugs Workarounds, the requirement is to have the plugins cleaned. Unfortunately this wont be possible for others downloading the nexus collections due to permissions issues. If I were to clean the plugins and generate DynDOLOD using Large Reference Bugs Workarounds, but the reinstall the uncleaned plugins afterwards, would I run into issues?

Upload those useful screenshots with more informative console so I know which records and models to look for in the logs. https://dyndolod.info/Mods/Useful-3rd-Party-Mods HD LODs Textures SE - install the DynDOLOD version. Overwrite any textures from DynDOLOD Resources SE but not the textures generated by TexGen. Adjust Max tile size on advanced options to match the downloaded resolution or use it to shrink higher resolution back down to lower resolution automatically while the atlas is created. Do not install / remove any tree LOD billboards. Use TexGen to generate all desired billboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
