Dynamic Distant Objects LOD - pre 2.xx


sheson

Question

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

I have been setting up all the mods from scratch according to the guide in Skyrim Revisited LE. Everything works fine and I can run the game without issues. However, I have not been able to apply this mod yet. 

Whenever I run Tes5Edit and choose the script "DynDOLOD Worlds" my computer simply crashes. No error message. It just restarts. Tes5Edit works through the script just fine for a couple of the worlds, like Blackreach and DeepwoodRedoubtWorld. Now, I haven't tried all worlds yet but DLC01FalmerValley, Tamriel and Falskaar causes the issue at least. It always happen when the command prompt is up and the script is working on creating the Lods. It creates some of them, there are files that goes to the output folder but at some point, 30 seconds in approximately, the PC dies.

I am able to play my modded SRLE profile just fine and it goes very smooth but the lods far away is a little crappy comparing to the rest of what I see because I miss this mod. Thane, or anybody, do you have an idea what could cause this? I couldn't find anyone with this issue on the forums. I will include my load order in the link below.

Since LODGen.exe (the command prompt thing) is multithreaded is uses almost all CPU when generating LOD, so this could very well be a overheating problem. Check the CPU temps, cooling...

 

When LODGen.exe runs, open Task Manager, right click LODGen.exe, select Set Affinity and uncheck a bunch of cores so overall CPU usages and thus heat production goes down.

You have to do it every time a new LODGen.exe starts. If this actually really helps, you should check the CPU cooling for sure.

Hi Sheson, I am so new here I even read the forum names wrong.

I think you are right.

I used realtemp to measure the processor heat and when the LODGen.exe comes up the temperature just shoots up to over 100 degrees celsius from 50 - 70. The fan never really seem to have time to react because it does not increase in speed while generating the Lods at all.

It takes two-three seconds to get to a 100 degrees and it goes back and forth for a while. I had no idea it could go so quick. I am not sure if these values really are correct but at least my system reads it and goes boom.

The affinity thing where I check the processor seems to not work since it restarts the LODGen.exe restarts several times and I think the affinity also goes to default 8 cores once it restarts.

I have an i7 4790K, the clock is not touched and the stock cooler is still on it. Haven't had time to change it yet. I am going to try to manually raise the fan speed during the LODgenerating and see if it works. I will post with result.

Thanks!

Edit: So, I went into BIOS and put my fan to operate 100 %. When LodGen came up I put it to only use 2-3 out of 8 cores. It worked through all the files! Yay! However, I was measuring the CPU temp and it was very strict on 100 degrees on both core 1 and 2. It is on idle 31 degrees, when calculating in the script it jumps between 50 and 80 and when LodGen starts it jumps between 80 and 100. This can not be normal? Will see if I can get another cooler than the stock one soon. 
Thanks again!

Hi Sheson, I am so new here I even read the forum names wrong.

 

I think you are right.

 

I used realtemp to measure the processor heat and when the LODGen.exe comes up the temperature just shoots up to over 100 degrees celsius from 50 - 70. The fan never really seem to have time to react because it does not increase in speed while generating the Lods at all.

 

It takes two-three seconds to get to a 100 degrees and it goes back and forth for a while. I had no idea it could go so quick. I am not sure if these values really are correct but at least my system reads it and goes boom.

 

The affinity thing where I check the processor seems to not work since it restarts the LODGen.exe restarts several times and I think the affinity also goes to default 8 cores once it restarts.

 

I have an i7 4790K, the clock is not touched and the stock cooler is still on it. Haven't had time to change it yet. I am going to try to manually raise the fan speed during the LODgenerating and see if it works. I will post with result.

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: So, I went into BIOS and put my fan to operate 100 %. When LodGen came up I put it to only use 2-3 out of 8 cores. It worked through all the files! Yay! However, I was measuring the CPU temp and it was very strict on 100 degrees on both core 1 and 2. It is on idle 31 degrees, when calculating in the script it jumps between 50 and 80 and when LodGen starts it jumps between 80 and 100. This can not be normal? Will see if I can get another cooler than the stock one soon. 

Thanks again!

The cooling is not working right that is for sure. Maybe the heatsink came loose or whatever. No idea what temps are normal or about the difference. Just make sure to fix that soon :)

 

Hi there, got a problem with script apply, too.

You really need xEdit 090515 or newer - this is the newest developer version of TES5Edit

 

It had a nice message about needing a newer version, but this error shows up atm. The nice message will be back next version.

If you mean loading screen of the game starting before the main menu then your load order is missing a master.

 

If you mean loading a save game or testing with coc from the main menu and it crashes the second the screen fades from black to show the world: More LOD uses more memory. Double check heap memory usage (block 1) with Memory Blocks Log from https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50471/ and adjust SKSE or SSME memory settings.

 

If you mean it loaded the world successfully and then crashes a few seconds into the game see 'Debug CTD caused by invalid nif' in Docs\DynDOLOD-README.txt

I may be remembering wrong, but shouldn't the output from the latest DYNDOLOD (updated just a day or so ago) generate an SKSE folder as well? I know the instructions said you didn't have to rerun, but I wanted a different level of detail so I reran anyways.

 

I made sure to completely reinstall TES5Edit (from the dev forum) and the TES5Edit scripts from the new DynDOLOD. It ran OK, though at the end it gave me some error about "Another instance of the .exe is running, click OK when it's closed" (or something to that effect). I clicked OK, it started running a script again and a short bit later it finished.

 

I do have the MCM when I test in-game, but I did not ever notice the "DynDOLOD successfully initiated" notice I remembered from before. (EDIT: This is with a new, test game. Nothing should be left over.)

 

If no one else is having these problems though, I'll just repeat with a fresh install and let it run again while I'm at work or something.

I assume you started with a default DynDOLOD.esp.

 

Make sure you selected 'Generate DynDOLOD'. This a check box on the advanced options. It is always checked when using the wizard mode since it is hidden from view.

 

Check TES5Edit\TES5Edit_log.txt for 

Saved ...\skse\plugins\StorageUtilData\DynDOLOD_Tamriel_Objects.json

Saved ...\skse\plugins\StorageUtilData\DynDOLOD_Tamriel.json

Saved ...\skse\plugins\StorageUtilData\DynDOLOD_Worlds.json

 

...  will be the drive and path to the selected output folder. Substitute "Tamriel" for the world spaces LOD was generated for.

Hmm, I did peek under the advanced tab before but didn't think I changed anything. Still, I made sure "Generate DynDOLOD" was checked this time and then did the normal process and it seems to have worked correctly (got the SKSE folder this time). Thanks for the help. :)

I've running out of ideas.

I've even RTFM!

 

DynDOLOD it's a masterpeace but there's one thing that's boring me for the past days.

I'm having tree texture pop in

The switch of Tree LOD to normal full model it's very notice and onli occurs when i'm very near.

 

Maybe there's something I can do.

I'm don't have performance issues or concerns.

I don't use SSME but if you look in the ssme.ini. You'll see this:

 

; 1st block

Location01=0x00687E89

; old value  =  256 MB

OldValue01=0x00000200

; new value

; 0x00000200 =  256 MB

; 0x00000280 =  384 MB

; 0x00000300 =  512 MB (recommended)

; 0x00000380 =  640 MB

; 0x00000400 =  768 MB

; 0x00000480 =  896 MB

; 0x00000500 = 1024 MB (1 GB, will probably crash)

NewValue01=0x00000300

 

As you'll notice the last line here says NewValue01=0x00000300. That's the value that corresponds with 512 MB.

 

When you change this NewValue01 and set it for instance  to NewValue01=0x00000380 the first block will be 640 MB.

 

----------

 

On another note. My game has more than 300 mods, well over 200 plugins, full ENB-preset etc, Vram usage up to 3700 MB. Game is reaching the 850 hour mark with one character. With DynDOLOD's high preset the highest block 1 value usage I've seen was 553 MB. Usually however the highest usage of the 1st block is lower than 500 MB.
