Custom Tree LOD's

[Ga-Knomboe Boy]

Heya, I've been working on a foliage pack as a modders resource and have been going through making LOD's of the models but encountered an annoying issue.

 

It seems the lod texture for the region you are editing is always "yourworldspace"treelod.dds

 

For example the one for the main area is tamrieltreelod.dds, now I have seen some modders get custom tree lods to work without replacing the skyrim tree atlas, but these LODs only worked in new world spaces. Indeed I have tested this made up a small island and got my custom LODS to work in the new world space. However, I am wondering if anyone knows how to get extra texture atlases for the new tree lod objects in the existing skyrim world space. Essentially I want to add more different kinds of trees to the skyrim game map, but it will only work off one texture atlas for the lod trees.

 

For example, even though my custom object lod has texture paths pointing to tamrieltreelod2.dds

It always loads the texture from tamrieltreelod.dds. Does anyone know how to fix this? If it is at all possible to have multiple tree texture atlases for the same world space. As it seems very limiting at the moment.
