DynDOLOD 3.00 Alpha 190

"Which mod is Meshes\effects\fxwaterfallbodytall02.nif from? Its CRC32 in the files you provided does not match what I have for Water Effects Brightness and Reflection Fix - Realistic Water Two Patch 2.1"

It was RWT without Water Effects Brightness and Reflection Fix - Realistic Water Two Patch 2.1. Yes, there's flickering in both cases.

Now I generated everything without RWT, the problem is definitely in the static waterfall lod, I only used DynDOLOD - Resources. In the screenshot above 1 - flickering, 2 - full model, 3 - I disable DynDOLOD model and the flickering came back. The problem is definitely the static lod waterfall and it flickers at medium and long distance. I used the default DynDOLOD settings. There is only a problem with the "tall" static lods of the waterfalls, in Riverwood it's ok. There is also flickering of some rocks, but it is not critical.

Oh, I'm really dumb, here's the log.. I also double-checked it again. Yes, in the far distance, the dynamic lodes of waterfalls are turned off and the flickering is very visible, on average they turn on and overlap the flickering static lodes.

Thanks. i will have a look at it in the combing couple days.

To verify, if you disable static object LOD so that only the animated dynamic LOD waterfalls remains, they do not flicker?

[Farsveinn]

Yeah, that's right.

Read the first post and/or https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which DynDOLOD log and debug log to upload when making posts.

Read https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#In-Game-Screenshots how to make useful screenshots with more informative console.
The cover should be dynamic LOD and thus be a clickable reference.

Double check if the LOD comes back after visiting the full cell.

It was my mistake.  I think it was caused by running the generation two times for Open Cities Skyrim, not knowing that it is not needed anymore with newer DynDOLOD versions.  I discovered other issues as well before I found the new instructions page for OCS.  Everything seems to work as flawless as it ever has.  Thank you sheson for everything that you do for our favorite games.

I need to correct myself again.  The issue seems to persist even after starting a completely new game with a newly (and I hope correctly) generated DynDOLOD.

Edit: Seems to not be isolated to just this Dragon Mount, the one at Kynesgrove also shows unopened in the DynDOLOD, but opened when the cell loads.  Tried re-visiting those locations to reload the cells and there is no change.

Can you click the dirt cover with console open and get its reference form id? If so make a screenshot.

Or does it go away when disabling all LOD with tll in console?

In addition to my post, maybe this will help. It looks like those side waterfalls are just not switching to the dyndilod correctly. The center waterfall is visible from any distance, and the others are just off by a long distance.

When trying to run DynDOLOD, I now have a blocking error with an activator for a Legacy of The Dragonborn display, xEdit doesn't detect anything wrong. Could this issue originate elsewhere than the record itself?

Sheson, I have a really weird situation. Somehow texgen and dyndolod doesnt generate TreeAspen04 for me, so no LOD for that tree. But no error were thrown during or after generation.

As we already determined the problem is with the static object LOD waterfall model. They are not using the right model or need an updated one. I will have time to look at them  and create/update the model tomorrow/weekend. The dynamic LOD and static object LOD of certain waterfalls overleaping for a bit is "normal" for technical reasons.

No bugreport.txt was created, correct?

What mod is Weapons Armours LOTD Merge.esp from or can you upload it?
It is possible this is a bug.

https://dyndolod.info/Help/TexGen-Configuration#Tree-Grass-LOD-Billboards
The volume of the model is the result of v( (X2 - X1)2 + (Y2 - Y1)2 + (Z2 - Z1)2 ) and needs to be greater or equal to the Min[Tree|Grass]ModelVolume setting in ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\TexGen_[GAME MODE].ini.

TexGen INI defines MinTreeModelVolume=512

From the TexGen debug log:
<Debug: Ignoring Meshes\landscape\trees\treeaspen04.nif bounds volume 487.956970214844, height 303 Skyrim.esm TreeAspen04 [TREE:0005FADA]>

487 is less than 512, so it is ignored.

okay, so I just need to lower it in the INI then?

One more thing, when I check the content of dyndolod resources, no nifs/textures for TreeAspen04, is that intended?
