I have a pic of the vanilla lod (not on that imgur link, however) and the dyndo-generated one has much better defined bricks/stones and also less snow coverage on the cubic parts of the ruin...instead of nearly being entirely white, it's more like the other section of the model where the snow just sits on top of the stones, giving it some distinction from the sky behind it.  Now, granted, that is with no other mods installed so the lod snow shader applied here is probably from some other mod like MM or nordic snow.  I guess my first try should be hiding the file that provides this shader, letting the vanilla one take over and see how that looks?  Dyndolod would only affect the quality of the bricks/stones themselves and not the amount of coverage by the snow shader, right?  Sorry for my lack of brevity.

As explained at https://dyndolod.info/Help/Snow-Ash-LOD-Shader, the snow shader does not affect LOD generation and DynDOLOD does not change the shaders.

TexGen generates updated object LOD textures for those LOD models from the full textures. If the normal map full texture is flat, the bricks will appear be less bumpy to the shader.

I appreciate the clarification, thank you...at least I have a couple things to try out!

Greetings community, 

I hope to find some help here. First overall I am a noob when it comes to modding stuff. I know how to set up Mod Organizer 2, run LOOT and SSE Edit QuickClean. And that's about it.

A couple of days ago, I finally figured out how to run TexGen and then Dyndolod. After fixing most of the errors using QuickClean and a whole load of compatibility patches, I got the game running, yes. But every time I ran Dyndolod an error message is coming up.
 

After the bug appears and if I press "OK" Dyndolod saves Dyndolod esm and esp and also Occulusion.esp. Nothing else happens, no "Dyndolod done" or sth. It justs stops there.

I only have one mod that includes the retexture of Riften with 4K textures. Does this bug originate from there? 
It's this one
For your information I am playing Skyrim's Special Edition, and I am using Dyndolod 3.0 - with an older version I got error messages something with that that version would be outdated.

If you guys need any further information, any logs. Just tell me which ones. 

Help is much appreciated

Red the first post of the DynDOLOD 3 alpha thread where to make posts. I moved the post to the thread.

Do not post screenshots of text. Post the text instead. Read the first post which log files and bugreport.txt to upload when making posts.

Instead of posting screenshots of message, use the Copy message to clipboard and post the text instead as explain on the first post.

Check the mentioned cell in xEdit. Which plugin adds it?  Check for errors with xEdit. It might not be directly related to the error, though.

Mhm. There are a couple of errors
LOOT tells me about 1 ITM record in Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul and wild edits which include 5 records from RLO - IC Patch which stops Immersive Citizen from working properly.

You might want to pay attention to the message listed in the summary. In particular the HITME and having installed 3rd party billboard textures.

This is a problem:

[02:22] <Warning: Duplicate Cell at -1,-1 in JKs Skyrim.esp [CELL:2F023913] (in RiftenWorld "Riften" [WRLD:00016BB4] at -1,-1) and RLO - Exteriors.esp [CELL:390116D5] (in RiftenWorld "Riften" [WRLD:00016BB4] at -1,-1)>
[02:22] <Warning: Duplicate Cell at 0,-1 in JKs Skyrim.esp [CELL:2F000E2F] (in RiftenWorld "Riften" [WRLD:00016BB4] at 0,-1) and RLO - Exteriors.esp [CELL:390116D6] (in RiftenWorld "Riften" [WRLD:00016BB4] at 0,-1)>

Two different plugins add new cell records with different form ID for the same coordinates. A patch is required.

On first glance the cells xx0116D6 and xx0116D5 in RLO - Exteriors.esp should just be removed.

Beachten Sie die in der Zusammenfassung aufgeführte Meldung. Insbesondere HITME und die Installation von Billboard-Texturen von Drittanbietern.

Das ist ein Problem:

[02:22] <Warnung: Duplicate Cell at -1,-1 in JKs Skyrim.esp [CELL:2F023913] (in RiftenWorld "Riften" [WRLD:00016BB4] at -1,-1) und RLO - Exteriors.esp [CELL:390116D5] (in RiftenWorld "Riften" [WRLD:00016BB4] bei -1,-1)>
[02:22] <Warnung: Doppelte Zelle bei 0,-1 in JKs Skyrim.esp [CELL:2F000E2F] ( in RiftenWorld "Riften" [WRLD:00016BB4] bei 0,-1) und RLO - Exteriors.esp [CELL:390116D6] (in RiftenWorld "Riften" [WRLD:00016BB4] bei 0,-1)>

Zwei verschiedene Plugins fügen neue Zelldatensätze mit unterschiedlichen Formular-IDs für dieselben Koordinaten hinzu. Ein Patch ist erforderlich.

Auf den ersten Blick sollten die Zellen xx0116D6 und xx0116D5 in RLO - Exteriors.esp einfach entfernt werden.

I can't find those cells in RLO - Exteriors.esp

The xx stands for the load order id of the plugin, which depends on how many plugins are loaded into xEdit and their order. xEdit shows the ID in front of the file name in the tree view.

The log you uploaded shows that those cell coordinates exit in the plugin.

Edit:  On second glance, the cells added by JK Skyrim also serve no purpose and could be be removed as well.

Hi!

Do I need to run Precash grass every time I install a new grass mod?

Also, I got a rather long error (that I couldn't see the full list of) when running Precashe grass after about an hour and a half of it running and I hit enter because I didn't know what else to do. Is this normal?

This is the DynDOLOD 3 Alpha thread. DynDOLOD does not create grass cache data.

You need to ask questions about third party mods (e.g. NGIO) on the appropriate comments/forum/discord for the third party mod.

If anything changes the grass base records or anything that affects grass placements in the worldspace, the grass cache is going to be outdated.

Hello friends, I have been having trouble getting DynDOLOD 3.0 to work correctly. Everything in-game looks fine it seems, but I'm getting tons of errors while generating and I'm not sure exactly how to go about resolving them. I just switched from DynDOLOD 2.0 and had no trouble whatsoever using it. 

I have the summary of messages right here: file:///C:/Modding%20Tools/DynDOLOD/Summary/DynDOLOD_Index.html

And the logs are attached as well.

Is it important to resolve these errors?

Also, with DynDOLOD.esp activated, SE crashes immediately upon opening the map. Not sure what's going on there

Read the first post of the DynDOLOD 3 Alpha thread where to make posts. I moved the post.

Read the first post which log and debug log to upload when making posts.

Read https://dyndolod.info/Help/Summary-Of-Messages

Read the Summary page that opens in the browser and follow its suggestions.

Read the explanations for each listed warning or error message to learn what they mean and how serious they are.

Check the load order for errors with xEdit and fix them as much as possible before generating LOD. Astral.esp and DHSpell.esp for example with their unexpected (or out of order) subrecord LNAM

Follow the suggestion of LOOT to clean plugins.

As the installation instructions explain, do not install 3rd party billboards. Use TexGen to generate all desired billboards as explained in https://dyndolod.info/Help/TexGen-Configuration#Tree-Grass-LOD-Billboards

Read the https://dyndolod.info/FAQ DynDOLOD Game Questions - ILS or CTD and the ..\DynDOLOD\docs\DynDOLOD-README.txt for troubleshooting tips.

Especially checking the .Net Framework Crash log has often the best information about the CTD. Post it if further help is required.

Hello, SkyrimVR user herre:  I just updated to latest version of Dyndo, and now it seems to require creationclub content?

Required file not found:

meshes\creationclub\eejsse002\architectuure\eej_towerroof.nif

SkyrimVR does not have cc content, any way to get around this?
