Specific Reference Matching

If the same reference is listed for both, it means it does not have a match in the other worldspace but should also be ignored for copying.

In case a mod requires manual additions to specifically match references or to ignore them for copying, make a post on the official DynDOLOD support forum so the data can be added for all users in a future update.

  • Does this mean ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\Configs\DynDOLOD_[GAME MODE]_ChildworldMatches.txt is off-limit to end-users?
  • How should an end-user proceed to exclude specific references from copying without requesting an official update, which may not be applicable to all users?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Users who do not want to edit the configuration file themselves can post on the official DynDOLOD support forum with logs and useful screenshots, thus help improve the tools for everyone and themselves with the next update.

Users who can edit the configuration file with the help of the explanations can at the same time post the edits to the official DynDOLOD support forum to help improve the tools for everyone without having to wait for the update to be released. Once they install the new version, the changes are included and they won't have to remember to edit the configuration file again.

I am going to answer to each thing in a separate posts. If there is something I haven'r replied to in say a week (and it is still present after any updates that I might release in the meantime) feel free to post a reminder for that particular issue.

So far the hide quad flag was only used for terrain under side generation. Get xLODGen beta 99 that now has a corresponding check box for LOD level 4.
Unless the hidden quads are properly covered by LOD objects, the holes might become very visible. That is probably one of the reassons CK doesn't do it for terrain LOD generation.
Hence disabled by default. If you know the exact filename of the terrain LOD mesh, just use Specific Chunk: 4, -44, 0 for example.

Thank you I got the terrain LOD to work now. However, the underside is still in the way. For some reason it looks like I'm getting a hole in the cell -43, -1 where I hid quads 3 and 4, but not in the cell -43, 0 where I hid quads 1,2,3 and 4.

First picture is from inside the mine tunnel, looking towards Markarth. The last picture is from under the terrain. The black tube is the mine tunnel, which pierces the underside. The gap in the underside is visible above it.

Logs and the plugin I used to hide the terrain. It was placed dead last in my load order while generating, so shouldn't be overwritten by anything. https://mega.nz/file/RG1mAbKC#4dlXjUlkrZkNXjB_JcCYHyl3sF8TO3-MkbMMJBKOvzE

Upload the terrain BTR and the underside NIF.

The DynDOLOD plugins were generated with an outdated version of DynDOLOD 3 Alpha.

Get the latest DynDOLOD 3 Alpha.
Generate new DynDOLOD, Occlusion plugins from scratch and install them.
Backup the debug log from that generation.
Then try to update Occlusion.esp to see if a duplicate EditorID error still happens.
If that is the case upload the debug log you backed up and the DynDOLOD plugin mentioned in the message.

I added export of the native terrain height data to a texture/image for doodlum for a test. It is also part of not yet released xLODGen terrain LOD beta.

The readme has a bit of information.

Terrain-Heightmap-Readme.txt 1.41 kB · 6 downloads

So, to get this right: This is just for a (future/maybe) mod release from doodlum and not really needed for any (new) functionality of DynDOLOD, right? Or with other words - if I activate this setting I'll see no difference, because the heightmap alone doesn't do anything?

The terrain heightmap is a modders resources that by itself doesn't do anything. The INI setting is just exposing an option in xLODGen.

I have tried generating with TexGen four times now. When it is generating textures is stops on a random texture, usually 1 texture and just stops. Currently the last line of the log is...

[05:50]     Creating C:\[SKYRIM SE]\DynDOLOD 3.00\TexGen_Output\textures\dlc01\lod\statueofauriellod.dds from 1 textures

Why is this happening? It was happening before I updated TexGen and Dyndolod AND after.

Read the first post and/or https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum which log, debug and bugreport.txt (if it exists) to upload.

I will list the things that worked for people in the past as discussed in this thread. Try one at time until it hopefully works:

Make sure UAC and antivirus are not interfering. Add exceptions for all executables, also for in ..\Edit Scripts\Texconvx64.exe for example.

Update the graphics driver to the latest version. Install the driver only without the crapware or terminate the crapware before using the tools.

Check the task manager for stuck Texconvx64.exe that TexGen might be waiting for. If you terminate all Texconvx64.exe TexGen should have a related error message and stop.

Add LockTexconv=1 under [TexGen] in ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\TexGen_SSE.INI to see if that changes anything.

If not, test if adding RenderSingle=1 under [TexGen] in ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\TexGen_SSE.INI lets it run through.

If not, test if adding RenderTexturesSingleThread=1 under [TexGen] in ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\TexGen_SSE.IN changes anything.

If not, test if instructing Texconv to not use the GPU by adding TexconvAdapterIndex=-1 under [TexGen] in ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\TexGen_SSE.IN changes anything.

If it still gets stuck, upload both the log and the debug log.
