What does that mean you dealt with the issue? You can not fix problems in the code. Please upload the log and debug matching the bugreport.txt uploaded earlier or provide information how to reproduce the error.

Always use the latest version.

Pay attention to all log message and the summary. Especially the ones about "Texture resolution ... not a power of 2".

From the log:
<Warning: Texture resolution 256x171 not a power of 2 Texture textures\rbroriksteadtextures\planks_lod.dds Used by meshes\rbroriksteadmeshes\woodentowerrorikstead03lod.nif RedBag's Rorikstead.esp 000WoodenTowerRBRorikstead [STAT:460012CE]>

It's known since a long time. See bug reports/comments on mod page.

Thanks! It seems the item not found is caused because a mesh is missing.

[20:06] <Warning: File not found Meshes\effects\elfx\mountains\elfxmountainpeak02.nif Skyrim.esm MountainPeak02_Blackreach [STAT:000487E7]>

You may want to reinstall Enhanced Lights and FX.

Next version should not fail with an item not found error and only print the warning  message and continue.

@sheson
Could you add the calmwater.dds to your ignore list for this warning?

[00:00] Gathering LOD assets

It follows the same naming scheme used by the game for the water normals (not using '_n'), which aren't reported so I assume there is an ignore list somewhere. We simply carried this naming scheme forward to our new texture for RWT.

The vanilla fxcreekflatlarge.nif defines textures\effects\FXwaterTile02_n.dds for that shape which happens to follow the naming convention?

Can you provide an example of a vanilla normal map texture used by a vanilla NIF that does not end in *_n.dds?

Yeah, we changed it. Calm water texture is also used for the marshes, ponds, interior waters....lots and lots of places.
water.7z

These couple water textures are the only ones that I know of that don't follow the '_n' rules for some reason.

Calmwater.dds is not a vanilla texture?

At the moment the check has no exceptions for any vanilla NIF / normal map textures other than grass NIF. Since the grass shader does not use/support the normalmap textures, the normalmap texture file name is irrelevant. All other vanilla NIFs/normal map textures that are being checked follow the naming convention. So atm I have no evidence or example for why/how to add an exception.

Edit: Is this a water noise layer1/2/3 texture that you also repurposed to be used in NIFs?

Reinstalled ELFX and the warning still appears

Calmwater.dds is from Realistic Water Two and it is a noise level that been placed on the mesh to replace the vanilla normal. SparrowPrince created all the meshes and they've been working well so far.

I don't know of mesh of the top of my head, no. The warnings presents a bit of false perception and has caused one user to ask about it already. I was wondering if you could ignore it, else I expect that is not the last we'll hear of it from users. I suppose I can duplicate the texture to add the '_n' and update the meshes to simply get rid of the warning, but that would be the only reason I'm doing it...to stop DynDOLOD warning about it.

The warning means the file does not exist at the shown path in the data folder, which it should after the mod was installed and activated. Sometimes download archives are not complete and there is no error message while unpacking.
