LOD billboard(s) not found

[TheDude]

Ok, so Ive run into a problem:

Im getting the "Lod Billboards not found"-message which is weird since I haven't changed a single mod since my last LOD-generation when everything worked just fine (Alpha 30)... I've successfully completed Textgen three times now with no errors so I have no idea whats going on... I've also read the helptext regarding this but it doesnt make me much wiser Im afraid... Any advice would be much appriciated.

"In case of the warning message "Tree LOD billboard not found", check the message window for the full path of the missing tree LOD billboard *.DDS texture and the FormID of the base record. "

Hello to all,

sorry to bother you but i'm in a bit of a predicament and i really don't know how to get out

I've installed Dyndolod 3.0 alpha 37 and tried (unsuccessfully) to get it to work as i've installed in my mods "Enhanced Vanilla Trees SE", "TREES ADDON SE" and "Majestic Mountains". When i run the textgen i don't get any error message anymore (at first i need to add the argument -l:English but i've solved that) but when i run Dyndolod it says that there are billboards missing for some trees, the strange thing is that i get the same messages even if i just keep activated the vanilla AE (i attached the logs, normal and debug, for the run with vanilla AE).

I know it's a bother but can i ask your help in this matter?

Thank you very much for your time and your work.

Have a nice day, sorry for my terrible english and i hope to have not broken the forum rules (i read the post but i'm still unsure if i'm submitting this right)

As the message prompt says, Billboards need to be generated with TexGen first.

If you click on Click on this link for additional explanations and help for this message of the message prompt, it opens https://dyndolod.info/Help/Tree-Grass-LOD-Billboards. Scroll down to LOD Billboard(s) Not Found for a list of things to check. The TexGen log you uploaded seems to indicate the billboards were generated without problems.

https://dyndolod.info/Generation-Instructions#1-Generate-The-Required-LOD-Assets-with-TexGen
Install the contents of the output path or the *.zip archive as a mod. It should overwrite everything. Consider moving the zip archive to the mod managers download folder for later re-use.

Do not forget to activate the TexGen output mod in MO2 left window.

The log shows Alpha-133 on top. Old log again?

The error message from the log is:
Error: LOD billboard(s) not found. Check the log for the individual warning messages. Generate LOD billboards with TexGen first.

The log shows the list of missing billboards. They should have all been generated by TexGen and installed as a mod as usual.

Each new DynDOLOD release should be unpacked to a new empty folder.

https://dyndolod.info/Updating#New-DynDOLOD-Version
Always install DynDOLOD Standalone into a new or empty folder. Always replace old DynDOLOD Resources.

DynDOLOD 3 Alpha-134 has this as the first logline:
DynDOLOD 3.0 Alpha-134 x64 - Skyrim Special Edition (SSE) (B365340B) starting session YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

However, the missing billboard error is unrelated to which version is being used. It is about required LOD assets not being found in the data folder.

The TexGen and DynDOLOD debug always only contains the last session and they both show the tools being started and then closed without doing anything.

The TexGen log only contains several sessions  that show the tool was started, the message about stitched object LOD was shown and then the tool was closed. You will have to actually generate object LOD textures and tree LOD billboards without error messages and then install that output. Those would be the logs to upload.

The DynDOLOD log contains several sessions with the LOD billboards missing messages as expected.

The screenshot of MO2 does not show anything useful. Change it to show the Data tab and drill down to ..\textures\terrain\lodgen\folkvangr - grass and landscape overhaul.esp\ folder and the file grass_tundra_wheat_00021a28.txt from the first LOD billboard not found log message for example.

You are the one that will have to fix the problem.

The screenshot from Windows Explorer shows files in the output folder. That needs to be installed as a mod with MO2 so they show up in the virtual data folder.
If you want to show these files being installed, then check the MO2 right window Data tab that shows these required billboards actually being installed.

You have not yet provided a TexGen log and debug log that show the actual generation of the required billboards.

Object LOD textures and billboards are generated by TexGen after clicking Start in its interface while the corresponding checkboxes are checked.. While TexGen runs and generates texture, it print log messages to the Message log tab, which are then saved to the TexGen log when the tool is closed. See https://dyndolod.info/Generation-Instructions#1-Generate-The-Required-LOD-Assets-with-TexGen, https://dyndolod.info/Help/TexGen and https://dyndolod.info/Messages.

Is "what" installed correctly? If you have questions about third party mods, then refer to their installation instructions, ask their author.
The right Window data tab seems to show resources for 3D tree LOD generation from Happy Little Trees Add-On - DynDOLOD 3. They are supposed to be installed as any other mod, so that seems to be the case.

To generate TexGen output, click the Start button to the lower right as shown in the already linked page https://dyndolod.info/Help/TexGen and section https://dyndolod.info/Help/TexGen#Start.

The log files will be in the the ..\DynDOLOD\Logs\ folder after closing the tool as explained in the already linked section https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs

I keep getting this error after running TextGen and then trying to run DynDOLOD. I've been trying to fix it for hours, but I have no idea where I am going wrong. It was working fine before I installed some tree and grass mods (Aspens Ablaze, Blubbos Tree Replacer for Reach, Cathedral Landscapes, Enhanced landscapes- Deadmarsh Standalone, Happy Little Trees, TMD The rift Leaves, and Yggdrasil - Floating Tree Redux). I've tried deleting some of the mods, but to no avail. Any idea where I'm messing up? It’s definitely something on my part if I had to guess, I'm barely getting into modding so I am not very literate when it comes to all this.

Here is the log of everything that it is saying it's missing:

If you look at the bottom of the log you posted, it tells you that you have no TexGen output. First generate data using TexGen, and place that output into a new mod (and enable it) so that it's available for DynDOLOD to use. TexGen is packaged with DynDOLOD, and you run it first.
