.lod File Generator

For those of you who want to make your own .lod files but would rather not mess around with a hex editor I now present:

LodFileGenerator_v0.01
made by Geggakloss



------------
Description:
This is a simple command based program that can make a .lod file for Skyrim worldspaces without the use of a hex editor.
This file is needed in addition to the meshes and textures that make up the LODs to show in the game.
------------
Installation:
No installation needed, just run exe file.
------------
Use:
Run LodFileGenerator_v0.01.exe

The program will ask for:
1) Name of your worldspace
2) x coordinates of the lower left cell
3) y coordinates of the lower left cell
4) width of your world measured in number of cells

The program will create a "YourWorldspace".lod file in the same directory as the exe file.

Put the .lod file under Skyrim/Data/lodsettings (create this folder if it does not exist)

Exsample:
A world that starts at (-64,-64) in the lower left corner and ends at (64,64) has a width of 128 cells.
The name of the worldspace is test.
For this worldspace answer:
1) test
2) -64
3) -64
4) 128

-----------
EDIT:
If your world size in smaller than tamriel, you can use the tamriel.lod and rename it for your worldspace. 

Know issues: 
The .lod file generated will not work for worlds spaces smaller then 32 cells in width!

EDIT (2012-03-04)
New version out (v0.02), hopefully all issues are now fixed .

Enjoy!
