DynDOLOD 3.00 Alpha 182

[dashr]

So I use DaveUHD Mountains. I never had this issue before. I just upgraded (like I said previously) from Alpha 0.39 to 0.42. 

This is the outcome. Maybe you could help me. Like I said before Dyndolod and Texgen ran fine. 

I know that Dave doesnt provide LOD's but it seems weird.

As already suggested increase the LOD distances.

Thanks. Which setting is it exactly? In The MCM? English is not my native tongue, so sometimes it is kinda hard to follow every suggestion.

Just open the mentioned DynDOLOD SkyUI MCM Settings page. Change the values under the Static Object LOD.

Read the DynDOLOD Manual "How LOD works in Skyrim"

Will do! Still thank you for  answering. Will look into the manual for now on.

Still the same. Cranked it all up to the max. I think I just run Majestic mountains for now on. These have LOD from you and will look better from afar.

You might have mod(s) interfering with the UFHD mountains mod or its textures or maybe the LOD models included in DynDOLOD Resources.

Make sure nothing overwrites DynDOLOD Resources, nothing overwrites TexGen output and nothing overwrites DynDOLOD output.

It might be possible it is a problem of the snow LOD shaders being overwritten by a mod that does not work well with the mountains textures.

If I test just with the vanilla game and  UFHD mountain everything seems to look as it should.

So nothing should overwrite Resources? Interesting. Maybe I read that wrong I thought every file SHOULD overwrite Resources..

It is neither that simple. DynDOLOD Resources should be overwritten if that is specifically mentioned - by knowledge people or guides.  Like the LOD pack for Majestic Mountains.

Read "Overwrite/Load Orders" in the DynDOLOD manual.

I read it and it makes totally sense. Thank you for clarifying that. Will test it and report back after it.

@sheson could it be that Hyperborean Snow SE is interfering with the mountains? I loaded Hyperborean Snow AFTER Dave's UHD Mountains. Maybe thats the issue because Resources doesnt ask me to overwrite UHD Mountains. Only some other mods.

That is for you to find out. I do not know that mod and neither have tested  with it.

Any plugin modifying the snow LOD material shaders with the form id 00050372 or 0006AE38 will change how snow covered LOD mountain rocks will look.

Checked SSedit. The only Snow LOD with 00050372 and 0006AE38 is Skyrim.esm no other mod. 
It is weird, cause I didn't change any mod before upgrading to 0.42.  But this is not your problem. If it works like you said in vanilla than I should just check everything properly. Sadly

I too had the "Item Not Found" issue with alpha 42 resource 12.  Deleted the entire folder, re-ran from scratch, same issue.

I ended up disabling Occlusion Data and Plugin to make it work for now.

Read the first post what log files and bugreport to upload when making posts about problems.

Try with the test version as well.

Check if a mod other than UFHD mountains overwrites
