DynDOLOD 3.00 Alpha 190

I have generated LOD with occlusion disabled, moved it to MO2 but didn't enable it, then used DynDOLOD again with only occlusion enabled (according to manual), and it works fine.

No idea why it happens, it isn't even reaching more than 70% of RAM usage, and I had WAY heavier load order before and it worked fine on earlier versions.

But in the end it works again, just one more step instead. Thanks for help, hopefully it will be accidentally fixed in alpha 74+.

If you do not enable the generated LOD for separate occlusion generation, it reads the object LOD that is available in the load order. Most likely vanilla object LOD which typically will have less details e.g. smaller files size.

Typically the generated LOD should be enabled, so its changes are taken into account for occlusion generation.

I see. I have disabled it because DynDOLOD showed warning that output will be overriden (which technically I don't want, I just need separate occlusion.esp).

There won't be any changes to the existing DynDOLOD plugins if they are loaded and if you just select Occlusion and Plugin while  unchecking all other options - object, tree, dynamic, underside .

It should only save the new Occlusion.esp and no DynDOLOD plugins in that case. Despite the message about updating existing plugins.

Though if they are updated, it should work just all the same.

Clean dirty plugins with deleted references, like Kynes Hunt - Quest for Chanterelle.esp, mini gardens.esp, stonhenge + hilltops.esp, NoBrokenWhiterunTower.esp, True Forest of riverwood.esp etc. https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Deleted-Reference

Fix or remove broken plugins with HITME errors like loftattic.esp  https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Internal-File-FormID-Is-A-HITME

Fix Unresolved FormID errors in loftattic.esp  https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Unresolved-Form-ID

Fix/remove duplicate worldspace problem with Undriel_FallingGildergreenPetals.esp. Might be a botched conversion to light plugin.

Use latest version of Flying Crows SSE 1.2 that does not contain meshes\crow\flyingcrow_lod.nif but contains mesh rule INI for DynDOLOD.

If the problem still happens afterwards, upload new bugreport, log and debug log.

I did everything you said and now it works! Thank you so much!!

Keeping dyndolod output enabled again triggers out of memory errors. Unfortunately I'm forced to rollback to previous version for the time being.

Compare the size of the folder ..\Meshes\Terrain\Tamriel\Objects\ which contains the object LOD *.bto files between old and new output.

I have only one output atm and it's 3.46 GB.

I also have a backup of older output (the one with glitched waterfalls) and it's also 3.46 GB.

There is also possibility that arguments are incorrectly set

Did you notice less CPU / peak memory usage while "Updating height map from object LOD meshes" after setting OcclusionMaxThreadsObjectLOD=1?

CPU is almost constantly 100%, memory 30-70%. I have 16GB, I was thinking about getting another 16, but not because of DynDOLOD.

Check the peak working set with task manager.

We would expect CPU usage  of DynDOLOD.exe to not be 100% with only one thread reading object LOD.

Check if there is any actual difference to the default OcclusionMaxThreadsObjectLOD=4

I'm trying to update DynDOLOD because I added a mod. It is activated, but still I get following error:

[Window Title]
DynDOLOD

[Main Instruction]
DynDOLOD.esp already exists.

Either activate it for updating or remove it to generate from scratch.

[Exit DynDOLOD]

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

Are you sure the DynDOLOD plugins are activated and enabled in the load order and there are no missing masters for it for example?

Red - RAM

Green - CPU

Threads = 1, memory argument for dyndolod exe.

Funny thing is no OOM exceptions this time, but it took way too many attempts to achieve this, so I wouldn't call this a win yet.
