Guide/Version-Specific Mod Recommendations

Type a version string using the format indicated by the placeholder text below. Copy/paste the intended guide version from the "Existing Guides" table above (if it exists) into the field below. For unofficial user-created guides, use the format indicated by the placeholder text. Editors: Please DO NOT use wiki headings inside of custom Recommendations and also avoid using templates if at all possible! Template calls add to the max threshold, and headings mess up the guide ToC.

Recommendations

  1. Ensure that both x86 and x64 versions of Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 are installed.
  2. Download the Main File.
  3. Extract the archive to the Tools folder (e.g. ..\Modding\Tools\DynDOLOD).
  4. Create a folder for the application output called, DynDOLOD_Output: ..\Modding\Tools\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_Output
Configure MO Executable

Configure as follows (If necessary, revisit the Tool Setup in the guide.):

Application Title Executable Argument(s)
DynDOLOD DynDOLODx64.exe -FO4
TexGen TexGen64.exe -FO4

NOTE: The output paths are defined in the TexGen/DynDOLOD GUI and NOT in the MO executable configurations.

Modify INIs

The guide disables grass LOD by default. Instructions for enabling grass LODGen are also provided and may be enabled at a later time as instructed by the guide if adequate performance headroom is available.

Navigate to C:/Modding/Tools/DynDOLOD/Edit Scripts/DynDOLOD/DynDOLOD_SSE.ini, and modify as follows by removing the semicolons at the start of each line where necessary:

Expert=1

Level32=1 GrassGID=gid DoubleSidedTextureMask=mountain,mtn

DoubleSidedMeshMask=mountain,mtn

Navigate to C:/Modding/Tools/DynDOLOD/Edit Scripts/DynDOLOD/TexGen_SSE.ini, and modify as follows:

TreeMSAlphaThreshold=144
ENB post-processing

If ENB will NOT be used, then complex grass will not be used, so also set the following in TexGen_SSE.ini

ForceComplexGrass=0
