| |
| #Navigate to the downloaded file and extract it.
| |
| #Copy the contents of the ''TES5Edit'' folder in the archive to the [http://wiki.step-project.com/TES5Edit TES5Edit] folder; found where TES5Edit was installed.
| |
| #In Mod Organizer, click the archive [[Image:Archive_MO.png]] button, select the downloaded archive, and click ''Open''.

| ===Generation===
| |
| | |
| {{Notice|text=These instructions assume that the user has properly configured all mods to this point and is ready to generate LOD.}}
| |
| | |
| <!--#Go to the [http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Mod_Organizer#Right_Pane Plugins tab] in [http://wiki.step-project.com/Mod_Organizer Mod Organizer's] and temporarily enable the three [http://wiki.step-project.com/High_Resolution_Texture_Pack High Resolution Texture Pack] <!-- Replace with: [http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP_Optimized_Vanilla_Textures STEP Optimized Vanilla Textures] in future -> and [http://wiki.step-project.com/Unofficial_High_Resolution_Patch Unofficial High Resolution Patch] dummy ESPs. This is necessary for TexGen files to be created.-->
| |
| :1. Ensure DynDOLOD.esp is the last plugin in your load order.
| |
| | |
| :2. Run [http://wiki.step-project.com/TES5Edit TES5Edit] through Mod Organizer.
| |
| | |
| :3. Click [OK].
| |
| | |
| :4. Wait for "Background Loader: Finished" at the bottom of TES5Edit.
| |
| | |
| :5. Right-click on any plugin in the left pane and select ''Apply Script''.
| |
| | |
| :6. In the drop-down box, choose ''DynDOLOD TexGen'' and click {{ui|OK}}.
| |
| | |
| {{Notice Small|text=TexGen requires both Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLC. If you do not have both these DLCs, skip to step 12 below.}}
| |
| | |
| :7. Wait for the script to run and close TES5Edit when finished.
| |
| | |
| :8. Delete the contents of the Overwrite folder.
| |
| | |
| :9. Open up the output folder (C:\TES5LODGenOutput from the TES5Edit setup) and create an archive from the textures folder within using 7zip.
| |
| | |
| :10. In Mod Organizer, click the archive [[Image:Archive_MO.png]] button, select the archive, and click ''Open''. "STEP LOD Textures" is recommended as a name for the mod.
| |
| | |
| :11. Place it after DynDOLOD and activate it. Nothing should overwrite it.
| |
| <!--#Go to the [http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Mod_Organizer#Right_Pane Plugins tab] in [http://wiki.step-project.com/Mod_Organizer Mod Organizer's] and disable the three [http://wiki.step-project.com/High_Resolution_Texture_Pack High Resolution Texture Pack] <!-- Replace with: [http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP_Optimized_Vanilla_Textures STEP Optimized Vanilla Textures] in future -> and [http://wiki.step-project.com/Unofficial_High_Resolution_Patch Unofficial High Resolution Patch] dummy ESPs. MO will load the dummy plugins automatically.-->
| |
| | |
| :12. Find [[Birds and Flocks]] in your mod list and uncheck it. Skipping this will cause the script to stop until you do.
| |
| | |
| :13. Run [http://wiki.step-project.com/TES5Edit TES5Edit] through Mod Organizer.
| |
| | |
| :14. Hold down the Shift key and Click {{ui|OK}}.
| |
| | |
| :15. Wait for "Background Loader: Finished" to be displayed at the bottom of the messages tab.
| |
| | |
| :16. Right-click on any plugin in the left pane and select ''Apply Script''.
| |
| | |
| :17. In the drop-down box, choose ''DynDOLOD Worlds'' and click {{ui|OK}}. Click {{ui|OK}} to an intro window that appears.
| |
| | |
| :18. In ''Select Worlds'', right click in the box and choose ''Select all''.
| |
| | |
| :19. In ''Select Output Path'', choose a location (it is recommended to use a folder on your desktop).
| |
| | |
| :20. Click ''Medium'' (or your preferred preset).
| |
| | |
| :21. Wait a really long time (generally between 30 minutes and 3 hours). Users with SSDs will take much less time even on High settings.
| |
| ::*Watch a movie. ''Or read a book, because it is brain food.''
| |
| ::*Do NOT attempt to use TES5Edit while it works.
| |
| | |
| {{Notice Small|text=When completed the STEP:Core and STEP:Extended output folder will be ~1GB each.}}
| |
| | |
| :22. Once the script is done, and assuming there are no errors, exit TES5Edit.
| |
| | |
| :23. At the prompt, make certain only DynDOLOD.esp is ticked and click {{ui|OK}}.
| |
| | |
| :24. Re-enable [[Birds and Flocks]] by clicking it in the left pane.
| |
| | |
| :25. Copy the output folder to the ''mods'' folder inside Mod Organizer. Make sure that nothing overwrites this mod in MO.
| |
|
| |
|
| :26. Enable DynDOLOD.esp in the Plugins tab. Make sure to run LOOT before starting Skyrim and let LOOT sort the ''DynDOLOD.esp'' plugin now that the masters have been added to it.
| | As with all mods in this guide, this mod should be enabled in MO once it is installed. This mod in particular MUST be enabled for proper LOD generation later in this guide. |
| | |
| {{Notice|text=Make sure that the '''DynDOLOD Output Meshes/Textures/SKSE (Json files)''' are not overwritten by other mods, especially not by tree mods that come with their own tree LOD.}}
