DynDOLOD 3.00 Alpha 182

[sigi123]

Hi Sheson, thanks for your fast reply. I forgot to add, that when i disable  Dyndolod, the hole is gone. For the crashlog i was not sure if it has something to do with Dyndolod. Anyways, would appreciate help for solving the ctd too. Update: One Log is too big to post (over 3 MB), even when i zip it. No idea...

As explained on the first post, use a file or text sharing service to upload logfiles.

The log only shows one LOD generation session. if you followed the linked instructions for open Cities Sktyim, there should be two session in the normal log, unless you deleted the log file after the first session.

Provide useful screenshots as explained at https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#In-Game-Screenshots, especially of the object that is missing.

When making screenshots of things in the game, open console and click the object in question to show its reference form ID.
Use Mfg Console or More Informative Console to show additional information when opening the console and clicking an object.
If making screenshots of objects missing with DynDOLOD output enabled, make a screenshot of the objects as explained above without DynDOLOD output enabled.

The screenshots do not seem to show the object that goes missing before DynDOLOD output is enabled?

I suggest to really follow every step how to generate LOD for Open Cities explained at https://dyndolod.info/Mods/Open-Cities-Skyrim

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with grass LOD's not appearing in game. So I checked the "Grass LOD Troubleshooting Guide" and found what might be the culprit:

Quote

Troubleshooting

Not all grass types have LOD / grass LOD billboards

Check that TexGen generates grass LOD billboards for all desired grass types. Plugins from mods often forget to set object bounds on base records, which filters them out from automatic tree/grass LOD billboard generation. See TexGen Configuration for further details.

There are entries in the TexGen debug log that look like this:

Quote

[00:31] [GetRequiredBillboards] <Debug: Ignoring Meshes\landscape\grass\fern_pale.nif bounds volume 121.938507080078, height 31 Grass FPS Booster.esp Fern_Pale [GRAS:15000824]>

More complete listing:

https://paste.ee/p/deo7j

Are those instances of what the troublshooting guide terms "filtered out" or am I misinterpreting it? I also checked the output directory of TexGen and I could not find many of the grasses from my grass mod in there.

I did create a recalulated bounds esp plugin for the grass records via xedit and ck for the grass caching process on older skyrim 1.5.97 but i disabled it before I ran TexGen and DynDOLOD, thinking it was unnecessary. Thought it was prudent to ask here before running it through again.

Thanks.

Check with the xEdit Assets Browser (CTRL+F3) if the texture exists in the load order and can be opened form the first shown container (data = loose file) with an image viewer.

Double check if it really has a resolution of 3500 x 2500. If it does, remove the texture or resize it to a power of 2 resolution. Same for WRStoneFloor02_n.dds

Let us know which mod the textures comes from.

Moved to the DynDOLOD 3 Alpha thread. Read the first post which log and entire debug log to upload when making posts.

Yes, when the log has an entry "ignoring meshes\... *.nif", it means the mesh has been ignored/filtered out because of bounds/height or it doesn't match the criteria (above water for example)

https://dyndolod.info/Help/TexGen-Configuration#Tree-Grass-LOD-Billboards
The volume of the model is the result of v( (X2 - X1)2 + (Y2 - Y1)2 + (Z2 - Z1)2 ) and needs to be greater or equal to the Min[Tree|Grass]ModelVolume setting in ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\TexGen_[GAME MODE].ini.
For the height the Z2 value is used instead of (Z2 - Z1) - as Z2 is typically the height above the ground - and needs to be greater or equal to the Min[Tree|Grass]ModelHeight setting in ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\TexGen_[GAME MODE].ini.

Read the rest of the chapter as well how to force specific billboard creation without changing the INI settings.

texture is from CleverCharff's AIO, resizing to 2048x2048 fixed the problem

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll see if making another patch fixes it.

Getting a hard silent CTD when using TexGen. Tried it probably a dozen times and it always crashes at the same point without an error message. EXACT same load order worked fine with the last version.

Let me know which mod contains the textures\cubemaps\GlacierIce_e.dds that does not have a power of 2 resolution.

Edit: Alpha-113 should load the texture regardless of its not power of 2 resolution
