Kossu Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Before ill have to generate new xlodgen files ( since my previous meshes/textures were generated by an older version, probably ) Can anyone confirm that this is either happening or not happening in the newest version of generated meshes? https://imgur.com/VxZdM0u (Picture looking at Sun Stone ) Basically the terrain meshes pushes through the "platform" that are the stones in DragonbornDLC (that grey spot in there), this is happening on all the stones Sun/Earth/Beast/Tree/Water with the exception of Wind Stone. And this in turn causes either the snowy lod or ashen lod to stick out like a sore thumb from the said thing. Edit minor thing but had to ask.

The quality of the terrain LOD meshes is too coarse. In addition without DynDOLOD there is no LOD for the water which helps to cover it up.

What happens when you start xEdit from MO? Make sure nothing, not the game, MO, xLODGen is installed to special Windows folders like Program Files x86. Do not install xLODGen into MO, data, game or Steam folders.Make sure the OS, UAC, anti vir or other 3rd party crap ware is not intefering.

dnmt Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Hi sheson. Love all of your work. Running into the same error people above have been posting. I actually had zero problems when running xLODGen two days ago, and I downloaded a few more mods including Enhanced Texture Detail and now I am getting the following error for a ton of the Solstheim textures. Eventually the process just stops and crashes. [31:54] c:\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim special edition\data\textures\terrain\dlc2solstheimworld\dlc2solstheimworld.4.24.16_n.dds[31:54] FAILED loading DDS (80070003) c:\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim special edition\data\textures\terrain\dlc2solstheimworld\dlc2solstheimworld.4.24.16.dds[31:54] Error: Executing TexConv failure 00000001: "D:\Modding Tools\xLODGen\Edit Scripts\Texconvx64.exe" -nologo -y -aw 256 -sepalpha -f BC7_UNORM -bcquick -o "c:\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim special edition\data\textures\terrain\dlc2solstheimworld" -flist "C:\Users\deana\AppData\Local\Temp\SSEEdit\Texconv_DLC2SolstheimWorld_572_0.txt" Only happens in the Solstheim world. No clue what I did wrong. I read all of your posts and have ensured I am doing everything you suggested. Any advice? Thank you. Here is the link to a full error log but it all looks good up until this point: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KcKXLM7Jn9MeP9-TZPYMEsK3ROXpow9k/view?usp=sharing Edited February 6, 2020 by dnmt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnmt Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 NVM, updating to C++ redistributables solved the issue. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martimius Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Apologies if this in the manual and I missed it, but when is it required to regenerate Terrain LOD? A mod (HD LOD Textures SE) updated to fix some meshes causing a CTD, would I need to generate Terrain LOD again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mod (HD LOD Textures SE) updated to fix some meshes causing a CTD, would I need to generate Terrain LOD again?Terrain LOD should be updated when plugin do changes to terrain height data or landscape textures. If a mod changes any of these, there can only be visual mismatch. Nothing else. If a mod causes CTD in the game, generating terrain LOD will not change that. If you have issues with other mods you should read their description and ask on their appropriate support forums. Terrain LOD meshes are generated from heightdata found on the LAND records in plugins. Meshes in the load order have nothing to do with it.Terrain LOD textures are generated from landscape textures only. HD LOD Textures SE does not change of the landscape textures as it is a mod for object LOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulmancer Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) "565 format crashes SSE in Windows 7" Is this still the case? So if I am releasing a public pre generated terrain, object, and tree pack for my guide I should not use 565 format because windows 7 users will be screwed? I BC7 not an option for SE normals? Also, does it matter if you run TexGen before or after xLodGen terrain generation? Edited February 16, 2020 by Soulmancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure way I have to copy and paste from the manual again and again:With TexGen.exe most but not all object LOD source textures can be generated from the full textures in the current load order. It is obvious that terrain LOD texture generation does not matter to TexGen or object LOD texture generation or vice versa.
