Dynamic Distant Objects LOD - DynDOLOD

 

Finally I can see my house from here

 

You know the price for my mods: blood, sweat and tears. Oh, and your first born.

If you want to help other authors of quality mods then donate to them directly.

For latest information and instructions see the DynDOLOD 2.18 UPDATE POST

What is this?

DynDOLOD is a set of tools based on TES5Edit and TES5LODGen to automatically create a Skyrim mod based on the load order which adds distant LOD for objects to Skyrim. By combining DynDOLOD with TES5LODGen users can create drastically enhanced traditional static LOD plus tree LOD and the new, optional dynamic distant object LOD in a few 'simple' steps.

DynDOLOD is meant for enthusiast modders who are familiar with using TES5Edit. Enthusiast modders have a general knowledge of computers, folders and files, especially Skyrims 'Data' folders and how to install mods safely with a manager or manually.

To fully expand the visual experience and use the additional features offered by TES5LODGen the DynDOLOD package comes with over 1000 new or updated LOD models for objects that were badly missing from the original game like the Skyhaven Temple or landscape features like roads, smaller rocks and dirt cliffs that simply make the distant landscape look much more natural and alive.

What does it do?

It makes Skyrim look like this

Yes, I think you probably did.   I just wanted to say thanks for the great work on the memory patch, and this mod also looks like another major improvment.   I shall make a blood sacrifice of a troll

A bit late posting since I'm giving up hope on it with SFO 2.2 haha, I got a few papyrus logs, but unfortunately they don't seem to all stop at the same point. 3 and 4 are from the same location, but 4 was loading an autosave since on 3 I'd started inside.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dvh1knedjzkprua/Papyrus.0%20-%20Copy.zip?dl=0

 

It seems a bit weird to be happening everywhere, doesn't sound like a corrupted mesh or anything ;p

It could very well be a nif that is used several times throughout the world. It can be fine if used as static object, and only cause crash when used as neverfade, we had that happen before.

 

There is quite a few messages from other mods. I suggest to first create a new MO profile only with the bare essentials. Skyrim.esm, Update.esm, SFO and DynDOLOD.

Generate LOD for that. Obviously the cause may be another mod ... try to remove as many as possible while still having the CTD.

 

If it is indeed a nif causing the CTD you will have to find it with the info based for the log since this data is generated for your load order.

 

Based on the newest Papyrus.0 - Copy (4).log start with the last form id xx007D77 (xx is the load order number of DynDOLOD.esp)

Start TES5Edit  enter the form ID top left and hit enter.

The right window now shows the reference. Find the row NAME - Base and CTRL+Click on the entry.

It opens the base element in the right window. Find the row MODL - Model Filename and take note of the path\to\mesh.nif

You could either change the entry to a non existing nif here and save the updated esp, or rename the nif file name so it doesn't load it next time the game runs.

Start the game see if it still CTD.

If it still CTD, open the latest papyrus log find last entry form and repeat.

If the cause is indeed an invalid nif it should be one of the last few in the log (within the same second)

As the manual says:

Put DynDOLOD.esp last in the load order, or specifically it needs to load after the last mod that contains objects in the world for which LOD is going to be created.

Once DynDOLOD.esp contains data from other mods LOOT sorts it properly based on its masters.

 

Regarding the TES5LODGen tree LOD generation: It is normal to have missing shrubs and bushes and whatnots. We only want to generate LOD for trees.

(If you create billboards for the shrubs and bushes you will start to notice how much they impact performance, because draw distance is high for LOD trees - if anything they should be done as static LOD in level 4 only)

Alright, thank you. One more thing, I checked my loadorder through with xEdit's 'Check for Error' function, this came up for DynDOLOD.esp.

Is there something I can do about those? And I also found 5 ITMs within DynDOLOD.esp:

So let me get this straight - after the STEP 2.2.9.1 guide is officially released and instructions are put out for the DynDOLOD mod in the guide, all of the other LOD mods will be removed from the guide in favor of this mod, since this mod dynamically will create custom LODs for any unique object with a unique texture in any load order - so other LODs from other mods are no longer really of any use?

Objects and trees, yes. Terrain, no.

TES5Edit_090515, LODGen 3.1.1 r1915, MO 1.3.4

 

Immediately after completing as en extended install, ran the DynDO procedure as specified by the GP video. All looked well until the very end. The script in the black window had a seizure although TESEdit showed no errors and indicated successful completion. The handoff back to MO not as graceful... what looks to be a complete tree of directories/files ended up in overwrite but couldn't say for sure, too new at this.

 

 

 

Here's MO's error:

I have also attached MO's hook.dll.dmp(.txt) if it helps. Also filed a report at MO's bug tracker but the upload option is disabled.

 

Not sure if any of this is helpful to you folks. I'm not a dev or anything, just know how to find dumps and logs and forward them to smarter people than I.

Record Header \ Record Flags -> are normal

REFR \ XEMI - Emittance -> [XXXXXX] will be fixed next version

Any other errors, save DynDOLOD.esp first then reopen before checking for errors

 

 

They are not ITMs. They have flag Unknown: 15 set.

This is the 'Has Distant LOD' flag which makes sure objects with static LOD do not show full models in adjacent non-loaded cells. CK only exposes the flag on STAT records. But the game engine uses it on other types of base elements nonetheless.

The output path should be outside of the game folders and Mod Organizers virtual file structure. Do not generate into 'overwrite'.

I'm trying to make the switch from my half-assed collection of LOD mods to DynDOLOD, but I can't for the life of me get it to work. I've made sure I'm running the latest version of TES5Edit, I have the billboards installed for both the vanilla game and SFO; DynDOLOD.esp is at the very bottom of my load order, and I've tried running the script with my bashed patch both enabled and disabled with not change. 
 
I've followed the instructions *exactly* how they're given in the mod's description page, but the script consistently fails while (as near as I can tell) generating LODs for the Forgotten Vale. I must be missing *something*.
 
The exact error message is:

Hey Sheson..  So I have a really weird problem. I just followed Gamerpoet's video to get DynDOLOD working, and it was a success. My game looks great. However there's a major problem. For some reason, for instance in the reach, I get like very blurry aspen and snowy tree LODs ( using SFO ) but when I get close to them they disappear. So basically, I get tree lods where there are no trees.. Even in the Tundra, I get like, a couple random aspen tree LODs which clearly don't belong. They disappear as I get closer.


 


Thing is, I noticed this problem even before I installed DynDOLOD but it seems more prevalent now. Back then I had Distant Object Overhaul, HighQualityLODs and SkyrimHighDefinitionLODs (yes, they all replace each other to some extent, I just wanted greater coverage) mods together with Distant Detail. I tried disabling them while using DynDOLOD but the problem still persisted. So I'm really at a loss. In a minute I will try disabling DyndoLOD and trying again, but if you guys have any suggestions or ideas, they would be much appreciated..


 


EDIT: It indeed was DynDoLOD. So now I am wondering if I did something wrong..

"Thing is, I noticed this problem even before"

Then it isn't DynDOLOD. All tools involved only generate LOD for data that is actually there. If you post your load order we might be able to spot the cause. This sounds like combination of (tree) mods causing this.

Great! Looks good. As explained before that Unknown: 15 (and only it) is expected.

GamerPoets video states that the DynDOLOD and DynDOLOD Output folders should be placed at the top of the left pane window (after Vanilla Billboards).

Doing this I have over a thousand files being overwritten which seems to undermine the point of DynDOLOD.

 

Especially considering that this is the last step I take in finishing my setup (after Bash, DSR, FNIS etc.).

Also, considering that Skymills + Skyfalls should be above DynDOLOD.

Why wouldn't I just leave both folders at the bottom of the left pane window?

 

Also, while running the DynDOLOD script a "Confirm" window pops up and tells me LODGen.exe is already running.

Clicking Cancel will stop the lod from generating. Click yes when LODGen.exe has stopped running. I'm paraphrasing.

This may be a faulty TES5Edit installation. Am I supposed to install the LODGen from here https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/62698/?

into my TES5Edit folder or leave TES5Edit as is because LODGen is already included?

I was extra confused by this be cause the lastes version of TES5Edit is newer and already does contain a LODGen.exe file

in the Edit Scripts folder.

The output path should be outside of the game folders and Mod Organizers virtual file structure. Do not generate into 'overwrite'.

That makes sense now that you point it out. Oddly, lodgen/tesedit/MO behaved during a second go around with the same procedure.

 

 

EDIT: Having just re-installed DDL and re-watching GP's video, he has the user setting up an output directory inside Skyrim->MO->mods
