DynDOLOD 3.00 Alpha 196

[LoveCter]

Should I reinstall the whole game?
Here is the log: https://limewire.com/d/UOjFC#pBB35Qftmo

So here is the thing, I have just installed a modern replacer for billboard on discord and the TexGen works again.
I think it replaces the missing texture with it's own texture. Still not the vanilla billboard tho.
Thanks again

Question, after running texgen for my tree meshes, the resulting textures, are, to quote the Sniff log, "Not a power of 2."

textures\terrain\lodgen\dv02hotm.esm\dv02treepineforest04_0036ed36_2_n.dds
    Texture size 76x256 is not power of 2

textures\terrain\lodgen\dv02hotm.esm\dv02treepineforest05_0036ed37.dds
    Texture size 80x256 is not power of 2

textures\terrain\lodgen\dv02hotm.esm\dv02treepineforest05_0036ed37_1.dds
    Texture size 76x256 is not power of 2

textures\terrain\lodgen\dv02hotm.esm\dv02treepineforest05_0036ed37_1_n.dds
    Texture size 76x256 is not power of 2
Etc. 
Is this an issue?
I've attached my tree meshes, most of the generated textures, and the TexGen logs.
Using the latest version of  TexGen.

Run this test veision https://dyndolod.info/Downloads/Test-Versions
Upload new log, debug log and bugreport.txt if it exists.

Provide the name/link of replacer mod. Avoiding the cause of an error is not the same as fixing issue, though. So we want to see this through until it works as it should no matter what.

https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Texture-Resolution
If a texture with an unsupported resolution is used directly it can cause CTD or performance issues. It depends on the used compression format and the exact situation the texture is used in.
A texture that is added to a texture atlas can technically use any resolution, since the atlas texture resolution meats the requirement. Tree/grass LOD billboards are typically never used directly.

Looks like it went through without any errors doing the replacement of textures\setdressing\signage\billboardslrgmiltongeneralhospital_n.dds with textures\shared\flatflat_n.dds and created Textures\LOD\SetDressing\Signage\BillboardsLrgMiltonGeneralHospital_n.dds as designed.

There is no *_n.dds textures in the replacer archive frpm the google drive and also no config files for TexGen, so it should not really have an effect either way.

Hello, first, I just wanna say that Dyndolod has made Skyrim into an absolute masterpiece, thank you so much for all your amazing work! 💖 My issue is, I am encountering an issue with waterwheels where they are invisible until I get very close, then they suddenly pop in! How can I fix this?

Be certain you have all of the correct versions and resources installed and that this is what you also used to generate LOD. If you are using DynDOLOD DLL, be sure it's the correct and latest version. Then if you still have issues, please post logs.

I have a question about the terrain underside mesh. For Skywind, we plan to include lighting changes in our base game which will require the terrain underside mesh. How should we set it up so that it doesn't cause problems when users run DynDOLOD on their end? If we include the underside MSTT with the typical EditorID and nif name, will DynDOLOD know to override it rather than create a new ref? Or will there be two conflicting underside meshes?

Also, is it necessary to include some form of the object enabler script? I don't fully understand the purpose of that script, since I don't see why the MSTT would need to be disabled when the player is in other worldspaces. Can I just remove the script and the initially disabled flag? I know the website documentation says not to include any DynDOLOD scripts when distributing the mod.

Right now DynDOLOD would not know how to update that, so currently the best method would be to move the references, base records and form lists into a separate plugin that can be disabled/removed.

Once you made such a plugin and send it to me, I can use it to test updating the DynDOLOD patcher so it reuses the records and overwrites things if required. Once that works, it should also work if the records exist in other plugins, like the main plugin.

The underside mesh should not show in child worldspaces that share the SkyCell but do not use the parent world space for LOD so that it does not become visible because the matching terrain LOD to cover it up is not loaded. MarkarthWorld for example. The script accomplishes that. That script can be included in BSAs that are loaded via INI or ESMs.

This is the plugin I am using. I just took the form list, base record, and reference from the DynDOLOD generated plugin.
