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!

Thanks for all the information you posted, I've finally gotten the heightmap for my mod into the game!

Needs to be smoothed and have the texture generated, obviously, but I wouldn't have gotten this far without the useful information you've posted.
Hey, when I hit the LOD gen executable, a window appears for a sec then disappears. I've used this before a bunch of times with no prob. i just redid my system, and in doing so went from an ATI vid card to an Nvidia card, but that's the only real difference. Any Ideas?

Hello, so I have been looking into generating LOD and came across this Programm in a last attempt at making a world actually bigger than Skyrim.
ReplyDeleteWhen I open the Programm, a window pops up and shuts down after a second.
I use a Ryzen CPU and an AMD graphics card on windows 10. Maybe this is useful information...
I hope this website isn't all dead.
Thank you very much, kind regards
