DynDOLOD 3.00 Alpha 182

Recommended Posts

Hi there, I am having an issue where I cannot seem to generate DynDOLOD. I have added exclusions for my Skyrim folder as well as the DynDOLOD/TexGen executables.

At first, I was trying to generate the new DynDOLOD files before updating to the most recent 3 Alpha 127 but I am now using that one and having a similar error (I was previously using 126). I am currently also trying to figure out how to work xEdit and hopefully start cleaning some of the conflicts in my LO. I know that there are many. 

 

I am really not sure what I am doing wrong and I am quite new at modding so any help would be appreciated. Here is my log and bug report. Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help! 

bugreport.txt DynDOLOD_SSE_Debug_log.txt

Sorry, I realized that first bugreport and debug are from when I was using the Alpha 126. Here is a link to the bugreport file from Alpha 127: https://ufile.io/o3f8snmn

Also just wanted to include my DynDOLOD_SSE_Log file from Alpha 127!

Hi, Sheson!

I have a problem with Windmills not having Fans both in lods and full model, specifically in Whiterun area (Solitude Fans are OK). Regenerated Lods with current load order, clean save (started new game just to test), still no luck.

Any advice?

If making screenshots of objects missing with DynDOLOD output enabled, make a screenshot of the objects as explained above without DynDOLOD output enabled.

Moved to the DynDOLOD 3 Alpha thread.

The bugreport shows out of memory errors.

https://dyndolod.info/Installation-Instructions
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.

Should this mod be used? All it does is adding a "Use LOD Data" flag under Parent to the Markarth worldspace, something every other major city child worldspace has. As I understand it this makes the child worldspace use Tamriel LOD data instead of its own LOD, which sounds reasonable. Why didn't Bethesda allow Markarth to use the parent world LOD data like every other city in the first place?

Bethesda did this for performance, memory usage reasons. Past the wall is basically just a bit of terrain that does not reach very far with very few references if any. You might notice just a single rock reference placed per cell because of engine reasons.

The mod will make much better distance views from inside Markarth. We discussed this long before Special Edition came out. Enabling this used to have noticeable performance impact in Skyrim. Probably less so now.

Creating a patch file for for DynDOLOD to set the flag instead of a plugin could probably make this compatible with everything.

Thanks for the explanation! I guess more than ten years after the game's launch this performance impact shouldn't matter all that much for most players. Apparently Bethesda brutalized scenery outside every city's walls for performance reasons but never once thought of restoring them during all these years and all these re-releases, which honestly isn't all that surprising.

Edit: Personally I manually created my own patch plugin to solve the worldspace edit conflicts in my load order and loads it last, so that every time DynDOLOD runs the generated plugins always carries over the right worldspace information. Works for me at least.

Edit 2: Maybe you could include such a patch file in a newer version of DynDOLOD Resources? The performance impact is probably less noticeable than the Whiterun Grass Patch.

I've been building a modlist up using a modified version of AVO:NG over the past couple of months and after tinkering with a bunch of city overhauls I went to re-run DynDolod only to be met with the following error:

"[Window Title] DynDOLOD

[Main Instruction] Error: Duplicate editor ID in DynDOLOD.esm [CELL:2302F514] (in MarkarthWorld "Markarth" [WRLD:00016D71] at -28,-4) and DynDOLOD.esm [CELL:2302F511] (in MarkarthWorld "Markarth" [WRLD:00016D71] at -29,-3)"

Attempting to coc to either of those cells results in nothing happening (I'm not teleported anywhere, game doesn't crash, the console just logs it and nothing happens). I've run up and down and around Markarth with no issues whatsoever either.

My modlist and load order: https://loadorderlibrary.com/lists/failed-dyndolod

 

I was using the LOD generation instructions found here: https://github.com/The-Animonculory/Modding-Resources/blob/main/DynDOLOD.md and made it through every step of the process without issue except for the final DynDOLOD run

I decided to switch to this alpha and I've been getting the DynDOLOD.esm flagging esp as masters bug again. In my last generation, DynDOLOD.esm set Holidays.esp as a master, which threw off LOOT completely. Since Holidays is a rather small mod, I decided to just disable it, regenerate LOD, then enable it after.

I also couldn't find what records in Holidays were used in the LOD generation, but I didn't save the DynDOLOD log file before generating again.

I'm just commenting here for posterity. Is there away to avoid this? I thought the bug had already been fixed in previous versions.

Unsurprisingly testing with Vanilla and Holidays.esp in the load order, it is not added as a master to DynDOLOD.esm.

I attempted to run Texgen multiple times since a couple days ago with no success. 

It starts just fine and hits a snag at creating a very particular Solitude texture. The two processes (Taking your Firstborn and the Texture Conversion process) disappears and seems to stop and it gets stuck unable to continue. I have all antivirus disabled and I have Dyndolod installed outside of the security sensitive folders mentioned in the tutorial. All the requirements  listed are up to date and installed them again to make sure. 

Here are the links to the two logs required for troubleshooting:

Hello,

Is there a way I can not generate object LOD for specific worldspaces? I want object LOD in all my worldspaces except one. I am aware of the specific chunk feature in the expert mode but was wondering if there is an easier way.

Thanks.

https://dyndolod.info/Generation-Instructions
Depending on preferences and desired options, use the wizard mode or click to advanced mode.
Select the worldspaces to generate the LOD mod for.

https://dyndolod.info/Help/Wizard-Mode#Select-Worldspaces The image on top of the page shows the worldspace selection box on top right under "DynDOLOD".
For convenience all worldspaces are already selected. Use right click to select all or none.

https://dyndolod.info/Help/Advanced-Mode#Worldspaces The image on top of the page shows the worldspace selection box top left.
Select the worldspaces to generate the LOD mod for. Use right click to select all or none.

After generating for the desired list of workdspaces with one set of options, install output. Start DynDOLOD again with the output active. Select different worldspace and options. Install new output merging with old output, overwrite all old files from first generation, in particular the plugins and SKSE json/data files.

Typically all LOD types should be generated for all worldspaces for consistency. If there are issues they should be troubleshooted or reported so they can be fixed if possible
