DynDOLOD 3.00 Alpha 182

Recommended Posts

Hello to all,

sorry to bother you but i'm in a bit of a predicament and i really don't know how to get out :(

I've installed Dyndolod 3.0 alpha 37 and tried (unsuccessfully) to get it to work as i've installed in my mods "Enhanced Vanilla Trees SE", "TREES ADDON SE" and "Majestic Mountains". When i run the textgen i don't get any error message anymore (at first i need to add the argument -l:English but i've solved that) but when i run Dyndolod it says that there are billboards missing for some trees, the strange thing is that i get the same messages even if i just keep activated the vanilla AE (i attached the logs, normal and debug, for the run with vanilla AE).

I know it's a bother but can i ask your help in this matter?

Thank you very much for your time and your work.

Have a nice day, sorry for my terrible english and i hope to have not broken the forum rules (i read the post but i'm still unsure if i'm submitting this right)

This is the DynDOLOD Alpha testing/feedback topic. You must start by downloading and running the latest Alpha 128. Previous Alphas are not supported.

Completely remove the old DynDOLOD folder, replacing with the new one.

Then post the logs requested in the OP for that version.

I see now. My apologies for not checking your logs.

It seems you have not copied the content under D:\DynDOLOD\TexGen_Output into a mod. Do this first. Then enable the TexGen Output mod, and run DynDOLOD again to resolve.

Are you using a mod manager like MO?

Grateful that the previous problem was solved, but had to ask for help again, the bare ground between the grass,

I saw the same question on the Internet, but did not find the answer

Version 1.5.97 has been downgraded and does not use (Grass Cache Fixes)

Grass cache suffix .cgid

Moved to the DynDOLOD 3 Alpha thread. Read the first post and https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which log and debug log to upload when making posts.

https://dyndolod.info/Help/Grass-LOD#Settings
With No Grass In Objects full grass can render past the active cells, so Grass LOD can either start right beyond the active exterior cells (uGridsToLoad) which equals to Mode/DynDOLODGrassMode=1 (better for performance) or beyond the large reference distance (uLargeRefLODGridSize) which equals to Mode/DynDOLODGrassMode=2. If No Grass In Objects is not used, set Mode to 1, obviously.
Set the desired Mode in the advanced mode of DynDOLOD under the Grass LOD checkbox and for DynDOLODGrassMode in ..\NetScriptFramework\Plugins\GrassControl.config.txt. While the DynDOLODGrassMode can be changed at any time, the Mode used to generate grass LOD is baked into the object LOD meshes.

The similarity is those parts that are not working are also not able to selected by console in game. This is why I assume this might be an xLOD problem if they are actually in landscape form.

Parts of these 2 bridges don't work for DynDOLOD. Those parts also cannot be selected by console.

Read the first post and https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which logs and debug log to upload when making posts.

Read https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#In-Game-Screenshots how to make useful screenshots. In particular:
Note that tree LOD or object LOD does not have a form ID. To determine if something is LOD, toggle LOD on/off with tll in console. In that case, also walk close to an object, so its reference with the full model is loaded in order to get its form ID and provide that screenshot of the full model in addition to the screenshot of the LOD.

As the message prompt says, Billboards need to be generated with TexGen first.

If you click on Click on this link for additional explanations and help for this message of the message prompt, it opens https://dyndolod.info/Help/Tree-Grass-LOD-Billboards. Scroll down to LOD Billboard(s) Not Found for a list of things to check. The TexGen log you uploaded seems to indicate the billboards were generated without problems.

https://dyndolod.info/Generation-Instructions#1-Generate-The-Required-LOD-Assets-with-TexGen
Install the contents of the output path or the *.zip archive as a mod. It should overwrite everything. Consider moving the zip archive to the mod managers download folder for later re-use.

Do not forget to activate the TexGen output mod in MO2 left window.

By not generating certain group of textures you did not get anything to work. You just ignored the issue and did not generate certain textures.

I finally got texgen and dyndolod to run with all options selected that I wanted.  It was getting stuck each time on a file "alnus forest shrub 01" from nature of the wildlands.  I went in sse edit and deleted the file and everything went smoothly.  I'd like to have everything from the mod in the game but I guess something is wrong with that texture or something.  Maybe I can fix it somehow and add it back in?  Not sure.

By randomly removing records or deleting files the actual issues is ignored and certain LOD textures were not generated. Guessing that "something is wrong with that texture or something" is not really going to help to determine the actual cause of a problem.

If you want to troubleshooting the actual issue, then do not ignore requests.

A Chinese player encountered a visual problem most likely related to occlusion data.

As shown in the screenshots they provided, part of the Red Mountain LOD was missing (first pic). The problem went away when they were seeing from somewhere higher up (second pic) or with Occlusion.esp disabled (third pic).

https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#In-Game-Screenshots
If making general screenshots of areas or worldspaces, provide information like the worldspace name and the cell coordinates. The DynDOLOD SkyUI MCM - You Are Here page provides the current cell coordinates of the player.

Make sure terrain LOD meshes were generated with restored data xLODGen Resource - SSE Terrain Tamriel and that the geenrated LOD is active when generating occlusion.

If that was the case, see https://dyndolod.info/Help/Occlusion-Data#Optional-Configuration
For the settings below, edit ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_[GAME MODE].ini:
OcclusionHeight - the algorithm uses the highest point of the heightmap or object LOD between two samples points. Since the player itself could be standing on the highest point, this can add a bit of additional height if required. There is no need to change the height unless holes can still be seen in the distance from a vantage point.

Maybe try with 50 or 100.

It could also help to recalculate the MHDT data of the cell with CK. The game uses that data to know when to not disable LOD in the distance.

Both bridges' model cannot be selected by console like I said. They behave exactly like landscape.LODGen_SSE_Tamriel_log.txt
This is the log.

No problem.  I'll reinstall notwl and redo texgen so I can upload the log.

Read the first post and https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which DynDOLOD log and DynDOLOD debug log to upload when making posts.

From the the LODGen log you upload:
meshes\cotn\landscape\bridges\lod\cotn_wood_small_01_noroof_end_lod.nif unexpected root node. Ignoring file.

Isn't there a related message like https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Root-Block in the DynDOLOD log that I asked for ? Is it it not listed in the https://dyndolod.info/Help/Summary-Of-Messages that open at then end? Fix that LOD model with NifSkope or maybe with Cathedral Assets Optimizer in any case.

You posted screenshots of the map. No close ups from the full models. Read https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#In-Game-Screenshots:
In that case, also walk close to an object, so its reference with the full model is loaded in order to get its form ID and provide that screenshot of the full model in addition to the screenshot of the LOD.

Are you saying there are no full models you can walk close to in order to make a screenshot of them? You are not able to check / screenshot how LOD level 4 looks to see if it looks OK to see if the LOD level used for the map might just need updated mesh mask rules? You are also not able to provide the cell coordinates as alternative as explained?

Didn't you say it would stop after alnus_forest_shrub01, the log shows it stopping after ulmus04_vine_003cbc18. So it now stops after having created a different billboard. The debug log shows it tries to or waits for executing texconv to convert Coldharbourtreebark01.dds (most likely from the mod Vigilant).

In any case, check the task manager if there are any Texconv processes listed that TexGen might be waiting for. See i it continues with related error messages if you terminate them.
See what happens if you set texture compression formats at the bottom of TexGen to A8R8G8B8 for Diffuse alpha and Normal specular and R8G8B8 for Diffuse and Normal.
Report the outcome of both suggestions.
