Hey, I was just wondering if I could some help turning someone elses mod (.esp+bsa) into a working LOD for use in DynDOLOD, for personal use. I've tried a couple of stuff and looked around quite a bit, could'nt find a guide specificaly for this problem. Basically I want to turn the Snow Elf Tower by buresjakub2003 on Nexus to an LOD so you can see the amazing tower from a far!

So if someone where send me a link to a guide or knows the information by heart please do tell! You can find the mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/47633?tab=description 
To clearify, this mod contains an .ESP and two .BSA which i want to turn into LODs, now as for as I know DynDOLOD does not make these into LODs automaticaly so thats why I need sum help with this. Also note that this is quite a large structure outside of the bounderies (I believe) of the regular Tamriel border but it is still in the worldspace of Tamriel. 
Thanks for any help!

Obviously it would be best to create dedicated LOD models. Otherwise use mesh mask rules to use the full model for LOD.

Read the first post which entire log and debug log to upload when making posts.

https://dyndolod.info/Messages/File-Not-Found-Textures

File not found errors can be fixed by installing the missing files. Look up the NIF in MO2 right window data tab to know which mod has problems or was not installed correctly (or is missing requirements) or just refer directly to the plugin name.

So, I could not find any specific way to convert the NIFS to specific lods, maybe Im just stupid but for Mesh Rules, would I need to get a mesh rule for each and every nif? Or would a rule like "Meshes/xxx/" where the rule applies to everyting in that folder?

So I've found the mod that is giving me the first message but what do I do now that I know what it is? It's the noble skyrim 2k mod. Do I need to reinstall the mod? Is it a load order thing?

I didn't try to reproduce yet but see what happens with this test version https://mega.nz/file/1Ap1xSIJ#0rH-NiyQAD5QdWvDlgPb6l3I8cldU9vF4NK5mH5AL0o

Hard to tell for sure, but it seems to work.

You need to RTFM or follow a guide to explain the key points of the manual. See our SSE guide linked int the top nav. It goes into how to generate LOD and set up the required software.

Posting here is for those testing the DynDOLOD 3 alpha or for those using it that have some idea of how it all works.

I'm immediately getting this event just after hitting 'OK' when running Alpha 95. It's processing as notmal otherwise. This is 100% reproducible. I will post logs once complete;

Got this bugreport shortly after posting. Strangely, DynDOLOD is still processing:

bugreport.txt

I'm shutting it down and attempting to repeat.

---

Updating to the latest .NET 6.06 desktop runtime seems to have resolved the event posted previously

---

.NET update resolved all of my issues. Finished processing as normal.

---

So after seeing "Additional Requirements" in your doc, I see now that LODGenx64Win requiires .NET 6.0 (which I had, BTW but not updated to 6.0.6). Now what I want to know is how/why is DynDOLOD using this version instead of LODGenx64 on my box. I'm on Win 10.

LOD models are NIF. A typical way to create LOD models is to use Blender or 3DSMax (maybe with additional 3rd party plugins) to create LOD models.

Read the links I provided. In particular https://dyndolod.info/Help/Mesh-Mask-Reference-Rules#Mesh-Mask
The mesh mask is any part of the path/to/model.nif of a full model defined on a base record. It does not use wildcards and simply matches any part of the entire path.
Entering the term tree into the field means this rule will match any filename that has the term tree in it but also any other NIF that might be in a folder that has the term tree in it as well, regardless of the filename.

Note that Meshes is not part of the path/to/model.nif defined on the base record.

Read the description, documentation, install instructions, requirements of mod and use their comments, forum etc. for help with them.

That is promising. Thanks for letting us know.

Load the load order in xEdit and check it for errors. Fix the unresolved form ID errors and the records being overriden.

It is most likely caused by a wrong version of RealisticWaterTwo - Open Cities.esp or wrong version of its master plugins.

See if it runs through then.
