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. "

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.

I was able to figure it out, I just wasn’t checking the grass box in the textgen menu, once I did that it fixed the issue. I just wasn’t looking carefully enough lol. Thank you though!

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)

The log message report billboards for trees not being found.
The log reports that TexGen output is not installed.

Grass LOD billboards are optional and were not the reason for the message.

You most likely installed the TexGen output properly the second time around.
