GeeZee Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hello all, you may or may not be familiar with my WIP mod Sierra Madre On The Strip: http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/368479-wip-sierra-madre-on-the-strip/ Regarding it, I'm in desperate need of technical help: -Is it possible to add new building LOD on The Strip exterior so it can be seen from anywhere like Lucky 38? -If yes, someone who would be capable of creating such LOD for Sierra Madre Casino in any way possible would be absolutely PRICELESS. Thanks in advance, GeeZee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucksteel Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hello all, you may or may not be familiar with my WIP mod Sierra Madre On The Strip: http://www.thenexusf...e-on-the-strip/ Regarding it, I'm in desperate need of technical help: -Is it possible to add new building LOD on The Strip exterior so it can be seen from anywhere like Lucky 38? -If yes, someone who would be capable of creating such LOD for Sierra Madre Casino in any way possible would be absolutely PRICELESS. Thanks in advance, GeeZee GeeZee, It is theoretically possible to generate LOD for your mod but, as far as I know no one has pulled off LOD for a large worldspace. I've read threads saying it's not possible but, I don't know for sure if there Is a GECK bug preventing it or, people are just not patient enough to get it to work. Under the best circumstances generating LOD is complicated, frustrating and, time consuming. Your first big problem is that you would need to regenerate LOD for the entire WastelandNV worldspace which, could take hours, if not days. (depending on your rig!) That being said, if you have even one error, you would have to start the process all over, from the beginning. Then you would need to go through all other worldspaces that can see the building and, repeat the process. I'm not trying to discourage you from attempting this, just giving a warning of what you may run into. If your going to try you might find this helpful, NV LOD Essential Pack It contains a mini tutorial on LOD Generation and, (what I hope are,) all the files needed to generate LOD for vanilla. I make no claims that the pack is perfect, I still may have missed some things needed and, you may run into errors. Note, you will still need to find all the LOD files from "DEAD MONEY", I've only sorted the vanilla mesh and, textures. If you have any questions on LOD Generation feel free to PM me and, I'll try to help chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihilisaurus Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Tip: Get the LOD files for everywhere except where your building iskeep thosedelete the altered areasTHEN generate LOD.There's more method to it than that, but thats how you'd do it in FO3.

GeeZee Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 OK, thanks to chucksteel (thank you very very much) the only thing I need is a modeller who would create LOD models & textures for Sierra Madre Casino & the Sign for it. I believe it's the only way to do it. If anyone is interested, then please say so, and I'll make a contact as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
