DynDOLOD 3.00 Alpha 180

[air401]

I'm new to this so forgive me for poor posting structure or info provided but I have a problem when building textures. It always gets stuck on...

Creating C:\Modding\DynDOLOD\TexGen_Output\textures\dlc02\lod\dlc2road01ash01lod.dds from 4 textures

The same one over and over. I noticed that texgen64 drops from around 30% cpu(On this stage) usage to about 5% when it hits this dds. 

I have tried a few of the suggested command parameters for texgen ini to see about getting it unstuck. I dont have an antivirus and no uac problems. I even tried updating my graphics driver and rebooting my system. I have fixed all the xedit errors and even tried looking to see what mod this is from to just try removing it buuuut i cant seem to find what mod/dlc this is from specifically.

Any ideas whats going on? Its not producing a log for me to post as its not actually giving me errors just stalls and does nothing.

What more info do you need to help resolve this?

Read the first post and/or https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which TexGen log and debug log to upload. In case the logs are not savedwhen the tool is closed because it is terminated prematurely, enable the real time log as explained and upload that.

See all the answers for https://dyndolod.info/FAQ#TexGen-DynDOLOD-stuck-while-creating-textures

"a few of the suggested command parameters for texgen ini" does not tell us which settings were actually set or if the settings were applied correctly. The debug or realtime log will show that and more.

I have used 

RenderTexturesSingleThread=1
RenderSingle=1
LockTexconv=1

TexconvAdapterIndex=-1

All placed under the TexGen in the TexGen_SSE ini file. Sooo the  2nd ,3rd ,4th and 5th lines of the ini i guess as texgen is the first line. I assume that is correct.

https://ufile.io/na5qmegp for the zipped log files.

The debug log shows all those 4 setting to be their default false/0 setting. Double check for correct addition, no extra space etc. Upload the C:\Modding\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\TexGen_SSE.ini if help is required.

Have you checked the task manager for Texconvx64.exe processes that TexGenx64.exe might be waiting for?

The game is installed into Programs Files (x86). Follow any modding guide that explains how to install the game outside of it to avoid issues with UAC, antivir, etc.

It is not a good idea to use NeverFade* on a NIF that is used many times across a worldspace, especially for performance reasons. Using reference rules to target a limited list of waterfall references would be a better approach. Do not set Level0, Level1, Level2 and uncheck Dynamic to not have both LOD types added. See https://dyndolod.info/Help/Mesh-Mask-Reference-Rules

 

Would you mind telling me what do you mean by this? Instead of "Level*" in the mesh mask reference rule for waterfalls should I have all set to "None" or...?

Hrm maybe that log is from a debug file when i didnt use them. I'll double check. but i have them currently setup as 

[TexGen]
RenderTexturesSingleThread=1
RenderSingle=1
LockTexconv=1
TexconvAdapterIndex=-1

; set to 1 to enable notices about skipped billboards
Notice=0 

ETC ETC....

The texconvx64.exe is currently running according to my detailed task manager right along with texgen64x.exe

Ya its the default install location for steam, i dont have any antivirus and i have UAC turned off. 

The whole texgen and dyn ran fine on my very first test run, back when i had no mods installed and just the base utilities installed. So no idea whats going on with this specific .dds. I've read in another thread that the guy enabled grass option when launching texgen and it worked as he was getting stuck on the same .dds as i am and it worked but when i launch texgen grass is greyed out but hd grass is checked. I editted a ini to be able to get grass to not be greyed out and able to be checked off but it still didnt progress past this one .dds.

Correct, change Level0, Level1, Level 2 for LOD Level 4, 8 and 16 to None so disable static object LOD. Also uncheck the Dynamic checkbox.

No "newer" logs were provided.

Either wait for Texconvx64.exe to finish or kill it to see if TexGenx64.exe continues with an error message.

Checking to generate grass LOD billboards means, grass LOD billboards are being generated. It does not change stitched object LOD generation.
Forcing normal grass LOD billboards instead of automatic HD billboards when complex full grass texture are installed does not affect stitched object LOD generation. It simply disables generating the HD grass LOD billboard.

If anything, uncheck rendered Object LOD textures and Tree/Grass LOD Billboards to only generate Stitched Object LOD textures.
Maybe make sure the output folder is empty and reboot to make sure anything blocking file access is reset.

So that just disables waterfall LOD entirely (as I suspected). Thing is, I would like to NOT see waterfalls appear out of thin air, otherwise I wouldn't be using DynDOLOD...

No logs and no screenshot of mesh mask settings were provided.

Setting the 4 LOD Levels for object LOD to None disables the non animated static waterfalls being generated in static object LOD.

If you do not get dynamic waterfalls when setting Grid to Near/Far/NeverFade LOD, then it might be because you did not keep VWD set or did not unset Dynamic or maybe you changed Reference from Unchanged to something else.

EDIT: So ive been watching the properties of the TexGen_Output folder and im seeing the size change even when it gets stalled on a LOD so i believe it is working its just taking forever on a few of the LOD creations. Im stuck on 1 now for about 45 minutes but it constantly changing the size of the folder so ill just let it run over night and see if it finishes in the next few hours.

Hello good evening!

So I'm getting Range Check Errors when I attempt to run Dyndolod. Specifically: "Error: Error reading grass Tamriel [-1,-10] Range check Error"
I am not sure if its a grass problem or versioning problem. The dyndolod exceptions page lists "error reading grass" and "range check error" as separate errors, but here they are both combined in the same error. I am also not 100% if the versions of all my dyndolod components match up correctly, since I am on Skyrim 1.6.64. 
The first time I had an error that said "Error reading grass Tamriel [-1,-8] Range check Error". I followed the instructions on the Dyndolod exceptions page for error reading grass, which is to delete the .CGID grass cache for that cell. I did that, and then I got the same error for [-1,-9], then again for [-1,-10]. This makes me think the problem is not isolated to just one bit of grass (both of these cells are in the mountains directly between Secundas Kiss and Bleak Falls Barrow). I have successfully generated a grass precache with No Grass in Objects. I have also successfully ran xLodGen64, TexGen64, and ACMOS road generator.

For grass, I am using QW's Grass Patch 2 which is a combination of Cathedral 3D Pine Grass, Origins of the Forest, and Folkvangr.

My current Dyndolod set up is as follows:

Is my DynDolod setup correctly, or do I have some kind of grass problem?

It is not normal for Texconv needing hours to convert textures.

You could test selecting the uncompressed formats R8B8G8 for Diffuse/Normal and A8R8G8B8 for Diffuse alpha/Normal specular and then convert them to BC7 afterwards.

Bugreport.txt
Dyndolod_SSE.ini
GrassControl.ini

My current Dyndolod set up is as follows:
Skyrim Version: 1.6.64
Dyndolod 3 Alpha: 3.0.0.169 (Dyndolodx64.exe)
Dyndolod Resources SE- 3.00 
DynDOLOD DLL NG and Scripts 3.00- 1.6.x version, Alpha 27.1
Aspens Ablaze Add-On  DynDOLOD 3- 2.36.3
Majestic Mountains DynDoLod V 3.0 Lod pack- 4.01

Is my DynDolod setup correctly, or do I have some kind of grass problem?
Thank you for your help <3

Moved to the DynDOLOD 3 Alpha thread.

See the first post and/or https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which DynDOLOD log and debug to log to also upload.

The DynDOLOD_SSE.ini shows that you changed GrassGID=gid, which means you instruct DynDOLOD to read the *.gid files in the load order and not the *.cgid files.
So, deleting or recreating *.cgid is not going to change anything. The reason it reports different cells/files is because the order of the files are being read is not guaranteed to be the same every time. of As explained in https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Exceptions#Error-reading-grass-worldspace-x-y, the vanilla *.gid files are of the wrong format and do not work. There should be no need to rename *.cgid to *.gid anymore or to set GrassGID=gid now that NGIO is available for newer runtime versions.

Everything below has nothing to do with reading of grass cache files:

There is no Skyrim runtime version 1.6.64, do you mean 1.6.640?

The runtime version is only important to choose the correct version of DLL plugins. There is only one version of the DynDOLOD Standalone, as there is only one version xEdit/xLODGen. See https://dyndolod.info/Downloads and https://dyndolod.info/Help/Large-Reference-Bugs-Workarounds

There are two versions of DynDOLOD DLL NG and Scripts:
DynDOLOD DLL NG 1.6.11xx and Scripts 3.00 for runtimes 1.6.1130 and newer/higher
DynDOLOD DLL NG and Scripts 3.00 for all older/lower Skyrim VR 1.4.15 and Skyrim SE/AE 1.5.x and 1.6.x runtimes.

So, if the runtime version is 1.6.640, it is lower than 1.6.11xx. You need to use DynDOLOD DLL NG and Scripts 3.00 - DynDOLOD.DLL NG plugin for Skyrim SE/AE 1.5.x/1.6.x (not 1.6.1130 and not 1.6.1170) and VR 1.4.15. Otherwise there should be an error message from SKSE when starting the game.
