Can Not Copy Resource / The system cannot find the path specified

[ravenRpg38]

I have tried several times to run Texgen and each time I get cannot copy resource textures\dungeons\impextwall01_n.dds to my disc drive where the output where dyndolod is stored. "the system cannot find the path specified"

[Swifty819]

I did that though, I thought. Was I supposed to extract BSA files? I'll give it another shot in case I missed a toggle

Hi! I'm trying to run TexGen and I'm continually getting this issue.

I'm aware of the whole "UAC and antivirus are annoying" thing, but I've turned them off. I've also made sure nothing is in my output folder, and just to be doubly sure, that TexGen is an admin. I wonder if the file is actually missing.

Here is a link to the relevant bugfiles: https://ufile.io/f/s9klr (Edit to mention: There was no bug_report file.)

Thank you for the assistance!

No the files is not missing. As explained in countless posts and on the help page https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Can-Not-Copy-Resource that opens when clicking on "Click on this link for additional explanations and help for this message", this means the file can not be written to the output path.

No that is not required or needed.

Read https://dyndolod.info/Installation-Instructions and https://dyndolod.info/Generation-Instructions.

They include all the required steps. They do not include all the things that are not required.

This is the error message I get after runing TextGen. Does anyone know what can i do to fix. The whole folder "textures" doesn't exist in SkyrimVR Steam install location.

Moved to sticky thread for that error message...

If you are using DynDOLOD 3 alpha, did the message not contain a "Click on this link for additional explanations and help for this message"?

Hi there,

I'm using DynDOLOD 3.0 alpha 62, and I'm coming up with an issue; after successfully generating (as far as I can tell, considering there's 227MB in the folder) textures and billboards through TexGenx64, DynDOLODx64 is telling me it can't detect TexGen output.

I've granted both DynDOLOD (the program) and all involved folders access through firewall, and I've got the Texgen_Output folder moved and checkmarked in Mod Organizer 2.4.4. I've tried turning the firewall off entirely, and DynDOLOD has run happily in the past using the same method, just not the 3.0 version.

I'm using NGIO-generated grass cache, if that is relevant.

Here are the logs from the TexGenx64 output, the start & end of the debug log (the full log being too large to attach) and DynDOLODx64 attempts to run.

Thanks for the help!

Didn't TexGen show a message window with this error message?

Can not copy resource textures\architecture\whiterun\wrdragontile01.dds to C:\Games\Skyrim\DynDOLOD\TexGen_Output\DynDOLOD-temp\textures\architecture\whiterun\wrdragontileblack01_n.dds: The system cannot find the path specified [C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\textures\architecture\whiterun\wrdragontile01.dds]

See https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Can-Not-Copy-Resource

Neither tools needs access to the internet, so they do not need to be allowed in firewalls.

No, it did not show anything on the output; I've only closed it each time I've tried because it says it has generated successfully.

And sorry, I meant through Virus and Threat Protection; I had a read up and saw that was the most common issue with this so attempted that first.

Edit: upon looking, my Skyrim does not appear to have an architecture folder in textures. I had a look at another thread which seemed to be relevant to the issue and I'm going to try running TexGen again with the tweaks to the ini.

The TexGen_SSE_log.txt does not show a line TexGen completed successfully.

Will need to fix the bug that no message window showed. Thanks.

Turns out Mod Organizer was pointing to Appdata Local despite me telling it to install in Games, which I think is the most likely cause. Moved it over, unfortunately deleting the load order in the process, but I'll fix that tomorrow after some sleep. Should hopefully let TexGen work without issue. Thanks for the help!

I am creating the DynDOLOD files from scratch after big changes in my mod list.

Using TexGen 3.0 I get the error:
Can not copy resource textures\architecture\farmhouse\farmhouse01_n.dds to D:\Skyrim Tools\DynDOLOD\TexGen_Output\DynDOLOD-temp\textures\architecture\farmhouse\farmhouse01_n.dds:

The file is NOT missing, but I have no idea why it can't be found.

 

Edit: Solved the problem by adding both executables and nif and dds extensions to the exclude list of Windows Defender.

See post linked just above. Therin lies the answers, I suspect.

I took another approach.

I added the executables and extension nif and dds to the exceptions in Windows Defender, and it worked perfectly.

Ok, I'm at the end with my Latin with this issue. Need your help!

Getting this error after TexGen64 is almost finished:

I'm running TexGen through Mod Organizer 2.4.4.
DynDOLOD is installed under D:\Tools\DynDOLOD and that path doesn't require any admin privileges.
All other resource files before this error can be copied.
The file in question is clearly there under the path and is accessible by everything else (when running virtualized from MO).
There are many other texture files with the same format and attributes as snow01_n.dds that can be copied.
Tried several runs, it always stops at this file.

Never had any file access issues before with DynDOLOD or DynDOLOD 2 prior versions but this alpha gives me several headaches.
