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

I get blank flickering purple texture on them. Also it like there is two DirtCliffs one over the top of the other, the original and the DynDOLOD.

Please be a bit more specific and detailed  ::):

 

After disabling DynDOLOD.esp you all of sudden have missing textures? This can not happen when only disabling an esp.

Make sure to keep the textures\dyndolod\lod\*.* files. If you have that folder and its files than the models with the purple missing texture color are not part of DynDOLOD.

 

 

Edit: if it still is like there are two objects on top of each other while DynDOLOD.esp is disabled, open console, click on the object and note its form ID, the first two chars are the mod number in hex.

Disable that mod, and let me know its name. Was that mod loaded into TES5Edit when generating LOD?

 

 

This SKSE mod Mfg Console help greatly identifying objects marked with console.

Based on that information, this is either normal engine operation where there is a time delay between static LOD switching off while loading full models in a cell or what is described in the readme as one of the issues with LODGen: "Static objects LOD may not exactly disappear or appear when supposed to with mulitbound objects that span across cell borders."

 

Both cases only happen with objects close to or just inside loaded cells. Are there any cases of this in the further distance, well past loaded cells?

You can turn on yellow lines that show cell borders with "tb" in console.

I am afraid not at the moment. We will have to wait for LODGen.exe to be updated, which with some luck will hopefully happen soon-ish.

Can you be more detailed about that?

 

 

What was the mod list before and after you updated?

Everything was fine with the LOD before updating mods?

 

 

Most likely everything will be OK when you create LOD again from empty DynDOLOD, but a "simple" update should work too.
