DynDOLOD MCM not appearing in MCM and DynDOLOD Not initializing.

[raging987inferno]

DynDOLOD MCM not appearing in MCM and DynDOLOD Not initializing. I'm not sure why but I'm having trouble with the entire DynDOLOD mod not showing up in game. I don don't even have the MCM option. not sure how to show you guys. because I can't take a Screen shot. and I'm not sure if it's from an updated mod or what.

[sheson]

If there are no messages from DynDOLOD top left after loading into the game / no SkyUI MCM, then the DynDOLOD Papyrus Scripts which are part of DynDOLOD Resources are not installed or the DynDOLOD plugin is not installed/activated.

 

Screenshot can be taken with the print screen key.

[raging987inferno]

is it possible that wrye bash could be a problem with the latest update? or turn turning some of the mods into ESL when maybe they shouldn't be. or could it be  a load order with the esp versus the bashed patch? I'm seeing right now if it has anything to do with the import part of the bash.

Also what do you need me to screenshot

The requirement (other than SKSE and SkyUI obviously) for the DynDOLOD SkyUI MCM to register are the 2 quests in DynDOLOD.esp and the SHESON_DynDOLOD_Alias.pex, SHESON_DynDOLOD_Quest.pex and SHESON_DynDOLOD_MCM.pex scripts to be installed.

 

Just saying, this is straight forward the bare minimum for the MCM to register. Easy enough to check.

For the dynamic LOD to function as intended the rest of the DynDOLOD Resources, the output and PapurursUtil also need to be installed.

 

Make sure the requirements and the output are installed completely (incomplete downloads or incomplete unpacking happens) and properly.

Make sure the LOD generation process was successfully completed.

 

Using a working mod managers properly is up to the user.

 

Nothing to screenshot really.

the esp and esm are both active. I have SkyUI and SKSE64 installed. the wierd thing is I didn't have this problem until the last week and a half After I updated everything to the latest versions where need. Because DynDOLOD is the only one I have the issue with once I start the game.

[sheson]

Make sure the scripts and everything else from DynDOLOD Resources is installed and active.

Check with xEdit DynDOLOD.esp contains two Quests and the DynDOLOD.esp is active.

When DynDOLOD is introduced to a clean/new save, it prints a DynDOLOD successfully initialized message top left. If this does not happen, requirements are missing or the plugins are not incomplete/ not active.

Test with a new game. If that works follow the clean save update procedure properly.

 

Check the papyrus log.

SkyUI and DynDOLOD both print messages.

 

SkyUI MCM sometimes takes time to register MCM menus.

[raging987inferno]

in xEdit the B700090F  DynDOLOD_MCM  and b7000911 DynDOLOD_Quest files are present.

[sheson]

Make sure the scripts and everything else from DynDOLOD Resources is installed and active.

 

Make sure the DynDOLOD.esp is active.

 

When DynDOLOD is introduced to a clean/new save, it prints a DynDOLOD successfully initialized message top left. If no message shows top left then the papyrus scripts from DynDOLOD Resources are not installed or the plugins are incomplete/ not active.

 

Test with a new game. If that works follow the clean save update procedure properly.

 

Check the papyrus log. The SkyUI and DynDOLOD papyrus scripts both print messages.

[raging987inferno]

I'm using Mod Organizer 2 would you like me to list the mods I'm using in order from the left pane as well as the plugins?

Realistic water 2 now has an MCM menu. could that be a conflict?

No and no.

 

Make sure the scripts and everything else from DynDOLOD Resources is installed and active.

 

Make sure the DynDOLOD.esp is active.

If no message shows top left, then the papyrus scripts from DynDOLOD Resources are not installed or the plugins are incomplete/ not active.

Check the papyrus log. The SkyUI and DynDOLOD papyrus scripts both print messages.

 

Forget the MCM, if there are no messages from DynDOLOD top left, then that is the primary problem (e.g. plugin issue, scripting issue)

I've done everything you have mentioned. I have also redownloaded both DynDOLOD files. Could other Scripted mods be interfering or overloading DynDOLOD's scripting then?

[sheson]

DynDOLOD Resources *.pex papyrus scripts are loose files. It is unlikely any other mod is overwriting them as they have pretty unique filenames.

 

What is printed from DynDOLOD to the payrus log?

 

If nothing at all is printed from DynDOLOD scripting to the log, then the DynDOLOD plugins are not loaded/they are incomplete/do not contain data for the current exterior worldspace or the DynDOLOD papyrus scripts that have the instructions to print to the papyrus log are not installed correctly.

[soupdragon]

Obvious question incoming, you have sorted with LOOT/placed the .esp at the end of the load order yes? It won't initialise unless it is in my experience.

yes

[sheson]

The DynDOLOD plugins contain references in the exterior worldspaces for which dynamic LOD was generated.

 

These references execute papyrus scripts installed via DynDOLOD Resources.

 

If there are no messages about/from DynDOLOD in the papyrus log, then the plugins do not have references for the worldspace or the plugins are not active.

 

If the plugin were active and have the expected records, there would be at least error messages with DynDOLOD being mentioned in the papyrus log

this is what is shown in the PapyrusUtilDev.log
