The archive seems to be missing the bugreport.txt. Was there none?

From the debug log this looks similar the error reported here https://stepmodifications.org/forum/topic/17510-dyndolod-300-alpha-143/?do=findComment&comment=274212, so this should be fixed in the next Alpha version.

In case the problem still happens, upload new DynDOLOD log, debug log and bugereport.txt if it exists.

That might normally be a reasonable conclusion, except that I had been using LOD for Skyrim Flora Overhaul and did not have bright LOD trees with the exact same preset. I had used an earlier version of LODGen (xLODGen.97) to generate everything. I also have mods installed that come with their own tree LOD, and those aren't bright.  It was very specific to generating LOD with the current tools for Fabled Forests. Ultimately, it's not a problem for me since I simply edit the LOD textures until they have the correct appearance, but I was curious about why this was suddenly happening after years of using LODGen, and with an ENB preset I have also been using for years (with a lot of custom adjustments).

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

https://dyndolod.info/Generation-Instructions
Do not install any 3rd party tree LOD billboards. Use TexGen to generate all desired LOD billboards.

Also see https://dyndolod.info/Help/Tree-Grass-LOD-Billboards#LOD-Billboard-s-Not-Found

It is pointless installing pre-made tree LOD.

Billboards are generated from the full model and full textures by TexGen. TexGen output should be overwriting all other mods/textures, which would include third party billboards that have been left accidentally in the load order. However, make sure that TexGen generates all desired billboards.
xLODGen/DynDOLOD also does not use pre-generated tree LOD either and should just overwrite it.

Use the TexGen option to achieve the desired lighting for all billboards.
All billboard diffuse textures should be generated with the same options/setting and not require manual editing afterwards.
xLODGen/DynDOLOD should apply the same brightness setting to all billboard textures when they are added to the tree LOD atlas.
Tree LOD/the game makes no distinction what the diffuse texture depicts, they always are generated the same way.

DynDOLOD 3a143 Test version for Parent > Child copies of references with dynamic LOD

I'm done testing copies of references toggled by script. No issues were found with vanilla or modded stuff. I don't know if there were Parent > Child related changes in released Alpha 143 since the last test version that would need checking.

Side note: Wow, Riften with NoCellsWithNAVM=0 is such a big improvement. Wonderful.

Might probably be better to copy ACTI with scripts and remove the scripts. We'll see.

That sounds like a simple and effective solution. It would need to be done to any base record, used by copied references, that has a non-empty VMAD section. Not just ACTI.

Thanks.

That is implemented in the latest alpha, too.

Hey, thanks for updating that quickly @sheson!

Everything worked out fine this time, no errors. I have an issue with my grass on the other hand(my grass densitiy is way to low) but i think thats on my side cause i accidentally had "grass sampler fix" activated.

Grass LOD density is defined by the placement data in the grass cache and the Density setting.

AFAIK grass sampler fix does not affect placements, In fact it should not affect grass billboard or grass LOD generation at all.

Hi, I'm getting error "Item not found" when using DynDOLOD, I tried multiple time but it always crash at a same line. I'm using latest DynDOLOD/Texgen and Resource version. Can you help me with this? Here are my log files:

Using this file, DynDOLOD has started generating LOD with no error so far. I will report back again if is there is more problem after the generation process finishes. Thank you!
