| |
| #In Mod Organizer, click on {{ui|archive}} [[Image:Archive_MO.png]], and select the archive downloaded in #1, and click {{ui|Open}}.

| ===Generate LODs===
| |
| | |
| {{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 {{ui|OK}} on the ''Master/Plugin Selection'' window.
| |
|
| |
|
| :4. Wait for "Background Loader: Finished" to be displayed at the bottom of the messages tab.
| | 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. |
| | |
| :5. Right-click on ''DynDOLOD.esp'' 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. Navigate to the output folder (e.g., "C:\TES5LODGenOutput" from the TES5Edit setup), right click the ''textures'' directory to invoke 7zip --> ''Add to "textures.7z'' (alternatively, create an archive of the "textures" directory using some other means, but remember: the archive should contain a "textures" directory at it's top level).
| |
| | |
| :10. In Mod Organizer, click the archive [[Image:Archive_MO.png]] button, select the "textures" archive, and click {{ui|Open}}. "STEP LOD Textures" is recommended as the 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.-->

| ===Generate DynDOLOD===
| |
| | |
| :1. Find [[Birds and Flocks]] in your mod list and uncheck it if it is installed and active. Skipping this will cause the script to stop running. (STEP:Extended users only)
| |
| | |
| :2. Run [http://wiki.step-project.com/TES5Edit TES5Edit] through Mod Organizer.
| |
| | |
| :3. Hold down the Shift key, and Click {{ui|OK}} on the ''Master/Plugin Selection'' window.
| |
| | |
| :4. Wait for "Background Loader: Finished" to be displayed at the bottom of the messages tab.
| |
| | |
| :5. Right-click {{ui|DynDOLOD.esp}} in the left pane and select {{ui|Apply Script}}.
| |
| | |
| :6. In the drop-down box, choose {{ui|DynDOLOD Worlds}}, and click {{ui|OK}}. Click {{ui|OK}} again within the intro window that appears.
| |
| | |
| :7. In ''Select Worlds'', right click on {{ui|Select all}}.
| |
| | |
| :8. In ''Select Output Path'', choose a location (e.g., a folder on your desktop. Do not use the same folder as your output from generating the textures above!).
| |
| | |
| :9. Click {{ui|Medium}} (or your preferred preset).
| |
| | |
| :10. Wait a really long time (generally between 30 minutes and 3 hours). Users with SSDs will have much less wait time. {{Fc|important|Do NOT attempt to use TES5Edit during LOD processing!}}
| |
| | |
| {{Notice Small|text=When completed the STEP:Core and STEP:Extended output folder will be ~1GB each.}}
| |
| | |
| :11. Once the script is done, and assuming there are no errors, exit TES5Edit.
| |
| | |
| :12. At the prompt, make certain only DynDOLOD.esp is ticked and click {{ui|OK}}.
| |
| | |
| :13. Re-enable [[Birds and Flocks]] by clicking it in the left pane. (STEP:Extended users only)
| |
| | |
| :14. Navigate to the output path chosen in step 8 above, highlight all folders within, and create an archive using 7zip.
| |
| | |
| :15. In Mod Organizer, click the archive [[Image:Archive_MO.png]] button, navigate to the newly created archive, and click {{ui|Open}}. "STEP DynDOLOD Output" is recommended as a name for the mod.
| |
| | |
| :16. 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.
| |
| | |
| {{Notice|text=Make sure that the '''DynDOLOD Output Meshes/Textures/SKSE (Json files)''' are not overwritten by other mods, especially not by mods that come with their own tree LOD.}}
