k1 Starship Combat Pay 1.0.1

Hello there! This is very interesting idea, and I feel like it fits well within the game's setting. It always struck me as a bit odd how in KotOR the Republic is this distant entity that you don't really interact with much until the very end (and Manaan, I suppose). My question is, does this mod require a fresh playthrough to work?

No, it doesn't. You can install it at any time.

Hi there ! I tried this out with a save prior to the dog fight in Taris, in Davik Estate. Once the dogfight is over, it does not display the dantooine cutscene. Then i spawn on the hawk with the space layout, and Dantooine as the only map on the galaxy map. If i try to click on Dantooine, it exits the galaxy map. Then if i exit the ebon hawk through the back, it warps me into Dantooine module normally and i still gets the items.

Is this supposed to happend?

Nope. That's so weird. I've never seen that before either. Did you use any other mods?

A lot of mods actually. I have the mod that makes party banters inside the Ebon Hawk, the only one i could think could interact.

If i delete the stuntdth3,4,6 and 7 scripts, the cutscene display normally. With any of them i encounter the problem.

I could try to install them directly to the ebon hawk module, maybe dropping them to override causes interactions ?

Otherwise, after the Dantooine landing and all, everything works fine. Even if i have a dogfight traveling to Dantooine, the cutscene displays fine and i still get the money for everything + i get the item related to this fact.

Which mod is this?

I'll need to ask Thor110 since he understands the script better.

If I were to guess though, those might be the scripts related to HK-47s simulations, which are accessed through his normal ship banter.

If I'm right, deleting them would likely get you paid for doing the simulation. Again, this is just a guess. I'm not able to look over the script atm and I haven't had the chance to speak with Thor110 yet.

When we worked on this, we didn't think any other mods would ever touch this so we didn't really bother with compatibility.  I say, go for it.

Well thank you for your insights. Im gonna experiment myself and tell you about the results.

I think this is the mod im talking about.

EDIT = I tried your mod on a fresh install of the game, it worked perfectly. So i tried with both Banter mod and your mod, and the bug occured. This is due to the fact that the banter dialog occurs instead of the dialog that plays before arriving to Dantooine.

I tried to install your files into the Turret module but it didnt fix anything.

So the 2 mods seem incompatible, maybe there is something here :

- Your mod works just as Vanilla, there is the Bastila dialogue before landing to Dantooine.

- With the banter mod, the cutscene displays first, and then the dialog occurs.

I don't really know if it's fixable ^^

I guess it's not. Sorry.

For some reason I can't reproduce the issue on my end, but attached is an edited version of the Ebon Hawk entry script from my mod with a few added checks to more rigorously prevent the banter dialog from running right before landing on Dantooine for the first time.  @CapitaineSpoque, would you mind please testing it when you have a chance and reporting back if it works?

I tried it and it kinda works. Now the conversation with bastila works just as in vanilla, and you get out of the ship into the jedi temple module after the conversation, however the dantooine arrival cutscene does not occur still.

EDIT = Btw, it might be possible to edit Bastila's dialogue script to fire the cutscene tho I'll check this out.

Interesting, at least that’s progress.  Just to confirm, are you now only missing the pre-rendered cutscene where the Ebon Hawk lands on Dantooine?  I.e. the sequence you see is:

1. Fighter minigame
2. Bastila’s dialog in the cockpit about how they should be safe for now on Dantooine
3. Jump to the dialog outside on the Dantooine landing pad

…just without the cutscene of the Ebon Hawk landing?  Are you also using the KOTOR 1 Community Patch by any chance?  I think K1CP edits a few scripts, including the k_pebo_sthdeathXX scripts, to move the landing cutscene from between 2 and 3 to between 1 and 2.  If Starship Combat Pay overwrites K1CP’s changes, then perhaps using both together results in that cutscene being skipped altogether.

Indeed.

Good news : Your hotfix works on a fresh vanilla install of the game, everything works fine. I only installed the starship combat pay + your mod/the hotfix.

Did not work on k1cp, i guess you're right.

EDIT = We were both right in the end. I located the bastila dialog file, and the last script fired was indeed edited by K1CP. I changed it back to the vanilla script, and now everything works ! 🥳

I added the hyperspace movie to the vanilla script before landing, so it transitions better.

Here is the final result (it reminds me of adding a fade in to my cinematography mod update!) :

Fantastic, great to hear that it's all working now.  That sequence looks pretty cool with the high-quality hyperspace tunnel mixed in there.

@Timbo, since it looks like some of your scripts overlap with K1CP, you may wish to consider also putting together a K1CP-compatible version of your mod.  The source code for K1CP can be found here:  https://github.com/KOTORCommunityPatches/K1_Community_Patch

It's fully compatible with K1CP. We used the open source K1CP scripts as a base for this mod. If you want to install both, and you should, just install K1CP first and you're good to go.

Yeah. I was wrong. There are some scripts that do not work with K1CP. A fix has been made and is being tested. I'm hoping to have it out this weekend.
