* Your converted TGA textures must be placed in the Source\Textures TGA\ folder using the same folder structure that the game uses. For example, if your texture is in the Data\Textures\architecture\urban\ folder the TGA file must be located in the Source\Textures TGA\architecture\urban directory. (The Source\Textures TGA\ directory is located outside your Fallout3 Game Directory in the main Bethesda Softworks directory.) | * Your converted TGA textures must be placed in the Source\Textures TGA\ folder using the same folder structure that the game uses.

* Once all of your textures have been extracted and converted, run the Generate Objects command. The editor will place the generated textures in your Source\Textures TGA\landscape\LOD\(''directory named as your worldspace'') directory. Copy the generated textures to the corresponding Data\Textures\Landscape\LOD\ folder. (If you do not remember to place your generated object textures here, objects will render in-game with purple textures.) | * Once all of your textures have been extracted and converted, run the Generate Objects command.

* The capital wasteland worldspace is located at a coordinate of around 10500z. You should always create a new worldspace far above this z coordinate; that means at a minimum of 3000z above 10500z. Otherwise, you may get floating trees (LOD) in the sky or above the ground when you change worldspaces. | * The capital wasteland worldspace is located at a coordinate of around 10500z.

* Be aware when creating LOD for worldspaces with worldspace autowater that you will sometimes get big surface holes in the water LOD | |||
* Make sure that your LOD water matches your world space water type to avoid unsightly mismatches where the water plane meets the LOD water. Water type and LOD water type are set in the World | ==='''LOD Water'''=== | ||
* LOD is only generated for terrain above the waterline. If no distant LOD terrain exists on the other side of a large body of water, the sky will be visible underwater and the sea bed will visibly terminate at the edge of the immediately rendered area. Also, a visible seam may appear between the water plane and water LOD. For these reasons, it is advised that you enclose large bodies of water with distant land. | |||
* Be aware that when creating LOD for worldspaces with worldspace autowater that you will sometimes get big surface holes in the water LOD that are not easy to fix. | |||
* Make sure that your LOD water type matches your world space water type to avoid unsightly mismatches where the water plane meets the LOD water. Water type and LOD water type are set in the [[:Category:World Spaces|World Spaces]] dialog. | |||
