Tiziano74 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Hi everyone.I tried looking for tutorials, reading topic after topic, but I couldn't figure out how to create the map for a new worldspace.I tried to do it on the Creation Kit but apparently it's something that doesn't work anymore...I seem to understand that the map is somehow generated with the LOD, but I've searched everywhere and I can't find any trace of it even if the LOD of the new worldspace was created with Dyndolod, to be honest I don't even understand where to look, I tried in the terrain textures but I can't find it, assuming it was created....Are there any tools outside the Creation Kit to be able to create the map of a new worldspace?And once the map has been created, where exactly should it be inserted within the CK?Should other files be created?Sorry for so many questions but really I've been trying to figure out how to do it for quite a while without any solution...Thanks in advance to whoever replies!

maxarturo Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 This a relative simple task and there is so many data on the web for this that it requires only 2 minutes to find the answer. - This guy has a bunch of links in his post for this: https://stepmodifications.org/forum/topic/15056-fo4lodgen-first-attempt-at-making-custom-world-map/ - In this forum: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/976063-how-do-i-create-a-custom-world-map-for-my-custom-worldspace/ - A YouTube video: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what words you googled to find this material but I hadn't found it.Many things unfortunately are old and no longer work, but from what I understand, doing the LOD of the worldspace should somehow get the map of the worldspace...I already have the 100% working worldspace LOD, done both with XLodGen on the studio PC where I have the Creation Kit, and with Dyndolod on the gaming PC, but I can't find the map file, I don't know which one it is, and I don't I even understand where to put it in the Creation Kit to show the worldspace map in game.

maxarturo Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) The data you are looking for is around minute 10' of the video. Again, it took me 2 minute to find the answer for you in the web. * CK's worldspace tool uses the 'LOD' file you have placed in = data/LODSettings to generate LOD. If the data and the video does not help you, then sorry my friend, because there isn't much I can do for you, or simplified it any further than this.

greyday01 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Maxarturo, When I created LOD some years back for my worldspace I used the video you gave a link to. It worked nicely. I had never used Dyndolod for the rest of skyrim because I was intimidated by the instructions. Could or should dyndolod 3 be used instead of that old video now or is that old video still the best for creating a LOD and map for new worldspaces?

maxarturo Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) I've use only TES5LODGen (the last version is pretty good with a lot of options), which is from the same team that created DynDOLOD. I've never used DynDOLOD because I don't get impressed easily, plus I don't even have any Bethesda games installed for more than a year, it could be way more than that.... You better ask someone that has or is using Dyndolod to tell you his results to get a better understanding of the tool. I suggest an experience modder an not a random user.

Tiziano74 Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 The data you are looking for is around minute 10' of the video.Again, it took me 2 minute to find the answer for you in the web.2 minute 2 find an answer for Fallout 4 and not for Skyrim...The Worldspace data entry mask for Fallout 4 is different from that of Skyrim.The video shows which map file to insert from a folder that doesn't exist in Skyrim, so this video is useless for Skyrim and doesn't answer the question I asked, which is simply where is, in what folder, the new worldspace map file, once the correct and working LOD has been created, and where this file should be placed on the Creation Kit for skyrim, not for Fallout 4.Anyway thanks for the replies.

maxarturo Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) It's the same program - it's the same engine - it's the same application - they use the same file extensions - It's all the same. CK's worldspace tool uses the 'LOD' file you have placed in = data/LODSettings to generate LOD. Edited February 26, 2023 by maxarturo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyday01 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I think what Maxarturo is trying to say is that the LOD files generated is what the game uses to draw the map as you look at it. It isn't a separate file and has no separate existence The LOD IS the map. I think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
