It solved all the issues I experienced and I've gained a better understanding of DynDOLOD in the process. Thanks, sheson! PS were you able to reproduce the 404 by any chance? If you need more info from my end, just drop me a message.

Phlunder Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 No issues to report, all working fine here with Alpha-93! Just two questions regarding LOD resources. This is likely also the case with vanilla LOD meshes. All the nordic ruin stair pieces (example: Meshes\lod\nordicexterior\norextwallbgstairssingle01_lod_0.nif) use a part of Markarths LOD textures (textures\lod\mrkbuildingslod01.dds), which causes a mismatch using most retextures. Everything else is already auto generated and matching fine! For now, I just pointed them to another texture to fix it, but maybe it would be possible to auto-generate them too? The full models use \Textures\dungeons\ridgedstonestairs01.dds. Second question, I've been working on redoing the LOD0 mountain meshes, and ran into the "H" and "L" variants for LOD0, an example would be mountaincliff01_lod_0h.nif and mountaincliff01_lod_0l.nif. What exactly is the difference between these 2? They seem to be identical in NifSkope.

What exactly is the difference between these 2? They seem to be identical in NifSkope. mrkbuildingslod01 is a rendered LOD texture that is automatically updated. Is it just that those full model stairs use a different full textures compared to the Markarth stairs? The L/H difference is in the vertex color alpha values. It controls how light or heavy the cover of the HD LOD snow shader is. See last paragraph of https://dyndolod.info/Help/Snow-Ash-LOD-Shader

See last paragraph of https://dyndolod.info/Help/Snow-Ash-LOD-Shader Yes, mrkbuildingslod01 is rendered by TexGen and matches perfectly, but the stairs used in Markarth have a different set of textures than the Nordic ruin assets. To be exact, they use: textures\architecture\markarth\MrkStairsChunky01.dds While the nordic ruin exterior pieces use: textures\dungeons\RidgedStoneStairs01.dds This might not be as apparent with vanilla textures because they are more similar. Here is an example using retextures: Thanks for explanation regarding the mountain LOD meshes, that clears it up!
Gamma_Metroid Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 I am having some trouble now with alpha 93. The diffuse texture atlas is fine but the normal map atlas is coming out as a tiny 4x4 pixel image for some reason. Here are the logs and one pair of atlases: https://ufile.io/f/0qvmv
freakingfairy Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 Hi! Obviously I'm a bit new here, but no amount of googling or searching this forum has turned up a satisfactory answer, so I guess I need a bit of troubleshooting help. The DynDOLOD.exe keeps crashing when I run it from MO2. Attempting to run it again then crashes the whole of MO2 back to desktop. This is my first time attempting to use DynDOLOD after years of modding, so I haven't messed with any settings and have been following GamerPoets guide to the letter. I've installed all the constitute parts and exterior requirements for DynDOLOD (in some cases reinstalled several times just in case). I have papyrusutils, Visualstudio, .NET runtime, and SkyUI. The DynDOLOD standalone is installed in my C/Games folder with the rest of my modding utilities. There was a bit of strangeness with a flickering window when I install DynDOLOD Resources, but the Scripts and DLL installed just fine. All three are installed and activated, though none seem to have an associated plugin. The crash is always silent, no error message at all and seems to usually happen during/after LODgen. The window with the green text just...dies and MO2 unlocks. I've found the Logs folder but my initial combing through turns up no errors I can find. It's like the whole process just...decided to turn off. The DynDOLOD_Outputs folder contains a handful of unzipped Tamriel Terrain meshes and one measly landscape texture. Any insight at all would be greatly appreciated, I have no idea where I went wrong here.
Scarlett Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 I have run into an few Problems with my LODs My first problem are these dark spots, which you can see in the picture below. My second Problem are holes in the LODs like the ones in the Picture below. My DynDOLOD MCM is included below, aswell as the DynDOLOD settings used to generate the LODs. A link to my plugins and Load Order: https://modwat.ch/u/Scarlett/plugins A link to my log files: https://ufile.io/f/hl2jt I hope this is the right thread and I included all the necessary information.

It looks like you need to generate proper terrain LOD with xLODGen if you are referring to the ground textures being too dark.

freakingfairy Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 Sorry! I was hoping it would be an easily recognized problem. Strangely, these logs were generated yesterday and haven't been regenerated in any subsequent attempts. I've already tries re-installing DynDOLOD Resources several times now and have seen no change. As described, there's a strange flickering alert window but then MO2 claims the installation was successful DynDOLOD_SSE_Debug_log.txt DynDOLOD_SSE_log.txt
