* The mesh generation process increase in time with the amount of chunks of your worldspace. It takes only a few minutes up to 20 chunks, then it increases to around 30-60 min for 20-50 chunks and increases again to more than 5-6 hours above an amount of 50 chunks. For generate a entire Heightmap with 1360 chunks it will take around 2-3 weeks of generate non-stop. | * The mesh generation process increase in time with the amount of chunks of your worldspace.

When generate of landscape LOD textures is finished, you will find the generated DDS LOD textures outside your Fallout3 Game Directory in source\textures TGA\landscape\LOD\(Directory named as your worldspace) | ||
*Source TGA textures for generate LOD-Objects dont extract automaticly out of your textures.bsa Archive. Open your textures.bsa archive and extract the required DDS textures for your LOD-Objects out of this Archive. Then convert those DDS textures into source TGA textures. Use a Programm like http://www.irfanview.de/ for it. Now copy those converted TGA textures into source\textures TGA\(now use Filestructure of textures.bsa Archive here). Source\textures TGA\ is located outside your Fallout3 Game Directory. | *Source TGA textures for generate LOD-Objects dont extract automaticly out of your textures.bsa Archive.
