FO3LODGEN help

[ilkay01]

Hey guys

I need some help using FO3LODGEN through MO.I followed the S.T.E.P. instructions but after i select all available worldspace and start generating lod it begins to generate the first worldspace then after 30 seconds it stops and the LODGen options pop up again

here is a picture

 

Any idea whats the problem?

Strange, looks like there is some problem running lodgen.exe (command line is shown in the last log lie), make sure that it exists.

It exists and it generates some txt files but thats all it doesnt finish the process in FO3LODGEN

if i press ESC it gives an error and skips to the next worldspace

Something prevents LODGen.exe from running in your system. Try to execute just that command line outside of FO3LODGen since all necessary data is already exported and prepared for lod generation (execute from within MO of course).

It just generated the log file

The weird thing is the log

It doesnt matter if i start it from FO3LODGEN or straing from MO it writes nothing to do in the log

altough if i start it from FO3LODGEN it generates LODGen.txt and LODGenAtlasMap.txt and if i start LODGen.exe straight from MO it doesnt generate those.

Looks like i managed to fix it

The problem was the location of the FO3LODGEN folder.

I was using it in the same directory as FO3edit but now that i put it in the fallout 3 root folder it works.

I'll revise the guide to make it clearer that if it is installed as a separate mod it should be in the the same directory as the FO3Edit or xEdit folder but not in the FO3Edit or xEdit folder itself. As noted in the guide, the recommended way of using does not require a separate folder, it is just entered as a separate executable in MO with different parameters than FO3Edit.
