This tool is for those of you who are having problems creating the .lod file using the Creation kit.
It 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.
Update:
The new version of Oscape will also make this youworldspace.lod file just fine.
Usage:
1. Run LodFileGenerator_v0.02.exe
2. The program will ask for:
1) Name of your worldspace:
2) x coordinate of the lower left cell:
3) y coordinate of the lower left cell:
4) Number of cells in the largest dimension (X or Y axis):
Possible extra question
5) Do you want to adjust your given coordinates to a multiple of 4? (Y/N):
3. Program will close when finished
4. The program will create a "YourWorldspace".lod file in the same directory as the exe file.
Put the generated .lod file under Skyrim/Data/lodsettings (create this folder if it does not exist)
Example 1:
A world that starts at (-64,-64) in the lower left corner and ends at (63,63) has a width of 128 cells.
The name of the worldspace is "test1".
For this worldspace answer:
1) test1
2) -64
3) -64
4) 128
Example 2:
A world that starts at (-29,-29) in the lower left corner and ends at (2,2) has a width of 32 cells.
The name of the worldspace is "test2".
For this worldspace answer:
1) test2
2) -29
3) -29
4) 32
Check yor mesh files (.btr) or texture files (.dds), they could be differently generated depending on what program was used (for example Oscape or Creation kit).
If you have a file called "test2.4.-32.-32.btr" then you should answer "Yes" on question 5, if you have a file called "test2.4.-29.-29.btr" answer "No".
5) Y or N
Know issues:
.lodFileGenerator:
* Typing text instead of numbers for question 2), 3) and 4) will crash program.
Skyrim:
* Unknown if uneven worldsizes will work
