DYNDOLOD USERS READ PLS

[Bolzenschuss]

Hi guys,

TL;DR is on the very end

I experimentated around 20 hours with DynDOLOD now and i have a anouncement to make:
DynDOLOD is love
DynDOLOD is life!


Yet i've came across a huge issue using dyndolod so here is what brought down my FPS by ~ 20(!)

When i started creating my LOD's using dyndolod i had ~230 Mods installed.
Mods such as:
SMIM
RealWater
AlternateLife
etc.

So to give my Game this final insane touche there was no way around DynDOLOD - which is - by any means is a very unreal tool and i think someone has sold his soul for it because it is pure black magic.

Anyway, sadly i had to found out that - as soon as i would turn on DynDOLOD.esp my game would loose ~ 20 fps.
Seeing all the magic it does i was like "fine - everything has its price so be it"

But - i didnt stopped from there because i noticed smth.
I noticed that the DynDOLOD.esp is linked to other .esp which DynDOLOD is using as masterfile..
Wait a sec..
So if you take a look at my attachement - this is how it looks now smart and cleaned - you see that some .esp like enhanced landscapes are necesary for DynDOLOD to operate.

When i created my DynDOLOD LOD's with all ~ 230 Mods installed the DynDOLOD.esp in need of masterfiles was messed up
after DynDOLOD .esp creation it had the following masterfiles connected to it:
RealWater
SMIM
AlternateLife
RealBobbingBoats
and various other Mods that dosnt even need any lods because it is pure nonsense for SMIM having any LOD stuff connected to it.

But it happend and i tell you - it hurt my hardware pretty bad!

 

So to bring this to an end also

TL;DR

If you use DynDOLOD activate ONLY the mod .esp that REALY change the appearence of LOD's!!!!
The best way to create DynDOLOD LOD's would be to install all Landscape mods that are visible over a huge distance and than run DynDOLOD.exe to create the DynDOLOD.esp.
DONT WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE FINISHED WITH MODDING!

But you can still fix it like i did.. what i've done is simple:
i looked for all .esp that appeared in DynDOLOD.esp as a masterfile that made 0 sense (like AlternateLife.esp) and before i executed DynDOLOD.exe i manualy removed all bad esp out of the Skyrim/Data folder so DynDOLOD.exe could make its job and create DynDOLOD.esp clean.

After the Programm was finished i simply moved all esp back in Data Folder -> no issues with the game / no issues with NMM

Also i've found out that it dosnt matter if you choose 256,512 or 1024 res for DynDOLOD textugen at all because it didnt had any impact on my rig (using GTX 970 with 4gb)
Also in DyndoLOD.exe choosing LOW,MEDIUM or HIGH had 0 impact on my fps at all.
It as just that stupid creation of LOD's for .esp that dosnt need them tha REALY destroyed my FPS
So thats why i was in bad need to tell it to ya guys because so i can give smth back ~ Peace
