Need help understanding ERM - Enhanced Rocks and Mountains DynDOLOD Mesh Rules

[jmeyer73]

I'm trying to install ERM - Enhanced Rocks and Mountains properly and it says:

"The recommended DynDOLOD mesh rules are mask=mountain, LOD4/Level0, LOD8/Level0, LOD16/Level1, (LOD32/Level0 if running ACMoS). The performance impact is minimal, regardless."

What exactly does it want me to do? I don't have a mesh rule called "mountain". I figured out how to add a mesh rule, and I assume I type "mountain" in Mesh Mask / Reference FormID. What do I do after that? Should I check VWD? What option do I choose for Grid and Reference? 

https://dyndolod.info/Help/Mesh-Mask-Reference-Rules I read this but I'm still not sure what to do. Thanks.

Also tick VWD, select FarLOD and 'Unchanged'

Since by default there is no such rule yet, most of the meshes will match the last "/" rule. Look at it for comparison.

Adding/Inserting the new rule for "mountains" will change the LOD model used for LOD Level 8 to the same LOD model that is used for LOD Level 4. See https://dyndolod.info/How-LOD-Works and https://dyndolod.info/Help/Object-LOD

See https://dyndolod.info/Help/Grass-LOD#Performance for an example of such a rule for "mountains".

Check the VWD flag so that the rule applies whenever a LOD model exists for a full model that matches "mountains" in its filename, just like the default "/" rule. See https://dyndolod.info/Help/Mesh-Mask-Reference-Rules#VWD-Visible-When-Distant

Set Far LOD (or Near LOD), so the LOD model is used for dynamic LOD. See https://dyndolod.info/Help/Mesh-Mask-Reference-Rules#Grid and https://dyndolod.info/Help/Dynamic-LOD

Use Unchanged so the dynamic LOD model unloads when the full model loads when its cell attaches. See https://dyndolod.info/Help/Mesh-Mask-Reference-Rules#Reference
