sheson Posted May 12 Author Posted May 12 28 minutes ago, air401 said: I'm new to this so forgive me for poor posting structure or info provided but I have a problem when building textures. It always gets stuck on... Creating C:\Modding\DynDOLOD\TexGen_Output\textures\dlc02\lod\dlc2road01ash01lod.dds from 4 textures The same one over and over. I noticed that texgen64 drops from around 30% cpu(On this stage) usage to about 5% when it hits this dds. I have tried a few of the suggested command parameters for texgen ini to see about getting it unstuck. I dont have an antivirus and no uac problems. I even tried updating my graphics driver and rebooting my system. I have fixed all the xedit errors and even tried looking to see what mod this is from to just try removing it buuuut i cant seem to find what mod/dlc this is from specifically. Any ideas whats going on? Its not producing a log for me to post as its not actually giving me errors just stalls and does nothing. What more info do you need to help resolve this? Read the first post and/or https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which TexGen log and debug log to upload. In case the logs are not savedwhen the tool is closed because it is terminated prematurely, enable the real time log as explained and upload that. See all the answers for https://dyndolod.info/FAQ#TexGen-DynDOLOD-stuck-while-creating-textures "a few of the suggested command parameters for texgen ini" does not tell us which settings were actually set or if the settings were applied correctly. The debug or realtime log will show that and more.

Sooo the 2nd ,3rd ,4th and 5th lines of the ini i guess as texgen is the first line. I assume that is correct. https://ufile.io/na5qmegp for the zipped log files. Edited May 12 by air401

The debug log shows all those 4 setting to be their default false/0 setting. Double check for correct addition, no extra space etc. Upload the C:\Modding\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\TexGen_SSE.ini if help is required. Have you checked the task manager for Texconvx64.exe processes that TexGenx64.exe might be waiting for? The game is installed into Programs Files (x86). Follow any modding guide that explains how to install the game outside of it to avoid issues with UAC, antivir, etc.
Abbot Posted May 12 Posted May 12 (edited) 2 hours ago, sheson said: It is not a good idea to use NeverFade* on a NIF that is used many times across a worldspace, especially for performance reasons. Using reference rules to target a limited list of waterfall references would be a better approach. Do not set Level0, Level1, Level2 and uncheck Dynamic to not have both LOD types added. See https://dyndolod.info/Help/Mesh-Mask-Reference-Rules Would you mind telling me what do you mean by this? Instead of "Level*" in the mesh mask reference rule for waterfalls should I have all set to "None" or...? Edited May 12 by Abbot

I'll double check. but i have them currently setup as [TexGen] RenderTexturesSingleThread=1 RenderSingle=1 LockTexconv=1 TexconvAdapterIndex=-1 ; set to 1 to enable notices about skipped billboards Notice=0 ETC ETC.... The texconvx64.exe is currently running according to my detailed task manager right along with texgen64x.exe Ya its the default install location for steam, i dont have any antivirus and i have UAC turned off. The whole texgen and dyn ran fine on my very first test run, back when i had no mods installed and just the base utilities installed. So no idea whats going on with this specific .dds. I've read in another thread that the guy enabled grass option when launching texgen and it worked as he was getting stuck on the same .dds as i am and it worked but when i launch texgen grass is greyed out but hd grass is checked. I editted a ini to be able to get grass to not be greyed out and able to be checked off but it still didnt progress past this one .dds.

Correct, change Level0, Level1, Level 2 for LOD Level 4, 8 and 16 to None so disable static object LOD. Also uncheck the Dynamic checkbox.

Either wait for Texconvx64.exe to finish or kill it to see if TexGenx64.exe continues with an error message. Checking to generate grass LOD billboards means, grass LOD billboards are being generated. It does not change stitched object LOD generation. Forcing normal grass LOD billboards instead of automatic HD billboards when complex full grass texture are installed does not affect stitched object LOD generation. It simply disables generating the HD grass LOD billboard. If anything, uncheck rendered Object LOD textures and Tree/Grass LOD Billboards to only generate Stitched Object LOD textures. Maybe make sure the output folder is empty and reboot to make sure anything blocking file access is reset.

So that just disables waterfall LOD entirely (as I suspected). Thing is, I would like to NOT see waterfalls appear out of thin air, otherwise I wouldn't be using DynDOLOD...

Setting the 4 LOD Levels for object LOD to None disables the non animated static waterfalls being generated in static object LOD. If you do not get dynamic waterfalls when setting Grid to Near/Far/NeverFade LOD, then it might be because you did not keep VWD set or did not unset Dynamic or maybe you changed Reference from Unchanged to something else.

Read the first post and/or https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which entire TexGen log and debug log to upload when making posts. It is not normal for Texconv needing hours to convert textures. You could test selecting the uncompressed formats R8B8G8 for Diffuse/Normal and A8R8G8B8 for Diffuse alpha/Normal specular and then convert them to BC7 afterwards.

Chicago119 Posted May 14 Posted May 14 I have no idea what's going on with Dyndolod but it's driving me nuts. I've spent months figuring out every aspect of how to get this game modded the way I want ALL THE WAY UP to this point, and now I'm stuck. I am on the BOBW downgraded 1.5.97, got through texgen just fine, generated a grass precache alright. Now I'm trying to finish with DyndoLOD and it crashes every time I try to generate, giving me no errors and only a dynamic lod log and an object lod log. Bugreport.txt has nothing about these crashes. I've linked the two logs that I am able to generate here. This is driving me crazy and I've never done this process before, but I just can't really play this game in the state it is without some matching LODs. https://paste.ee/p/SuSpk https://paste.ee/p/btuC4
