Hey sheson! Currently working on some additions for Enderal's LOD, and ran into 2 issues I wasn't able to figure out. First thing is a 3D tree LOD mesh for a particular crooked dead tree, that doesn't work well with billboards. Even if the model is solid, and its UVs are within the 0.0-1.0 range, it has a tears in it. Screenshot attached. The other is a variant of the Sovngarde statue (01) that is used in the Powder Desert. I made a unique LOD mesh for it, unique textures, UVs again within correct range, but DynDOLOD seems to create some other texture for it, that is not the one I assigned in the mesh. Screenshots of that also attached. Also the logs and the work in progress mod. The meshes in question are deadtree01_lod.nif as well as sovngardestatue01desert_lod.nif.

This is odd, probably a bug. Does it stop if you add NoReUV to the shapename? Just for testing.

Like this?

Yup.

First problem, yes it fixed the seams, but the UV is very messed up otherwise. Can't see it in Blender or NifSkope:

 

Second problem is exactly the same:

Second problem is exactly the same:

deadtree01_lod.nif has a UV scale of greater than 1.0 in the shader settings.

Can you upload the object report, toor? I will look at the statue tomorrow.

Thanks, I had no idea about that entry in the shader settings!

Here's the object report:

The texture of the LOD model is being replaced with the texture replacement defined on the base record.

To prevent that, you should change the shape name in the LOD model so it does not match the full mode.
If  a LOD model actually defines a *lod.dds texture, use the typical _LOD in the shape name, e.g. SovngardeStatue01_LOD:0
It should then leave it alone and not apply the replacement.

Thanks for checking the mesh, I will apply the suggested tweaks to it. In this case, the shape name really matched. Sometimes its a generic name from Blender instead. 

Ah yes, I also noticed that standard for the vanilla LOD resources, regarding the _LOD in the shape name, appreciate the explanation.

That's an odd one - not the item not found itself of course - but where it happens.

Is this reproducible a second time if you run again?

In that case check if still happens with the test version from this post https://stepmodifications.org/forum/topic/20141-dyndolod-300-alpha-182/page/684/#findComment-284087

I was able to reproduce it the error, though it was a different Item Not Found. It gave me this code C0000005

With the test version, I've had multiple different issues ranging from the program unexpectedly shutting down to outright freezing my OS. pasted below is the error message from the most recent run. I've also tried lowering my settings from high to medium to see if that helped with the memory issue but Dyndolod closed out after about 15 minutes. Added most recent bug report and logs, with a new link for the most recent debug log

This seems to indicate a problem with the PC, like an hardware issue, CPU, Memory, BIOS settings etc.

Make sure the PC is stable with prime95, OCCT etc. test and verify memory settings in the BIOS.

Reporting back that a BIOS update did solve the issue. For anyone else running an MSI MAG Tomahawk Z790 and updating BIOS to ver H.E0 (09/26/2024) fixed all errors
