When I check xx11706D in JK's - ELFX Patch.esp it does have the expected length of 1096 bytes. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim_Mod:Mod_File_Format/LAND

Use xEdit "Simple records" in its options to show the hex values for the VHGT - Vertex Height Map.
Right click them, Edit. Copy/paste to the patch plugin.

Just to confirm that I understood correctly: I copy the landscape VHGT data from JK's -  ELFX Patch and paste it into my version of Icy Windhelm (6D0162D5) correct?
Should I rerun DynDOLOD after it or does it not matter?

Yes, copy the valid data from JK's - ELFX Patch.esp to replace the truncated data in your custom version of  Icy Windhelm.

This height data only affects Occlusion data generation.

Hm...it's me again:
This is the ingame result outsite of whiterun:
From further away
https://ibb.co/Q7W7kn6
After approaching
https://ibb.co/JjXMfF1
Obviously the near trees aren't shown, but as soon as these are switching you'll notice that the lod trees (on the hill) are gone.


Which additional logs/files do you need - the rest is the same you got already in earlier post.

The logs you uploaded earlier are from generations that had an error. Make sure to generate a LOD patch without any errors.

Make sure non of the TexGen/DynDOLOD output is being overwritten by other mods.
Doublecheck the LOD Level 4 BTO coverting those cells has tree LOD in them.

In particular make sure those tree have 3D tree LOD models/billboards discovered.

Getting an error "Error: Error while loading images from memory". Did a clean reinstall of drivers as suggested in FAQ, still getting this error.

 

Here is the logs.

Use the x64 versions of DynDOLOD/TexGen. The x86 versions may run into memory errors especially with large texture resolution settings and are included in case a x86 OS is used. They are functionally identical, the only difference is the supported CPU architecture.

Use the x64 versions of the tools.

Welp, i'm an idiot. For some reason DynDOLOD in MO2 switched to x86 version...

Sorry to bother you with this.

Unfortunately that did not help and so I just deleted the landscape record completely.

Oh, alright, I thought because the plugins got saved everything was ok. Just did another run without getting an error -> Alpha 125 is working correctly as far as it looks now.

Good evening

Just had a quick question. I downloaded the latest version of DynDOLOD yesterday and I was going to run it with my new tree setup. In order to have the trees inside Whiterun show from outside, I went to edit the ChildWorlds section to remove the trees from the ignore list and found that the entire ChildWorlds section is missing from the DynDOLOD_SSE.ini. Is that normal? If so, what would be the process to have the tree lods inside the city show from outside?

I tried to copy / paste the section manually from an old ini file I have but the lods dont show up.

Thanks

 

Edit : Nevermind. I checked the changelog and and found that the info was moved to a different ini file in the config folder.

Moved to the DynDOLOD 3 alpha thread. Read the first post which debug log and bugreport.txt if it exists to also upload when making posts. https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum

Thanks for the huge update Sheson. I didn't do a direct comparison but the scenery outside Whiterun walls seemed much more detailed than what I remembered. Small problem though: DynDOLOD added some misplaced and duplicated waterfalls outside the city, as shown in the video: https://anonfiles.com/se45w3o3z5/Skyrim_Special_Edition_2023_04_30_19_26_52_mp4

FYI I use the Whiterun Exterior patch, Water for ENB and Natural Waterfalls, and I deleted all the waterfall lod files in WENB, as per the instruction on the DynDOLOD website (I don't think it matters in this case, still clarifying though). It seems the duplicate waterfalls are WENB ones.

Logs: https://anonfiles.com/H767w6odz5/Logs0430_rar

Also a small question about rules: the DynDOLOD website states that Rules at the top match before rules at bottom. Am I correct to assume that this means in case of conflict, rules higher up would overwrite/take precedence over those placed lower? If so, this should mean user-added custom rules are better placed at the top, right?

Do not install the Whiterun Exterior patch if it conflicts with other mods. For example, "natural" waterfalls disables vanilla waterfalls and adds new waterfall references. The exterior patch is for the vanilla game and vanilla waterfalls.

Generate without the patch and check things look OK then.

I would prefer screenshots instead video https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#In-Game-Screenshots

https://dyndolod.info/Help/Mesh-Mask-Reference-Rules
The order of rules matters. Rules at the top match before rules at bottom. Reference Form ID rules always take precedence over Mesh Mask rules which target base records.
