Howdy! First-time commenter here on this recently-discovered, albeit what appears to be a fine, fine forum and database.
This user is having the same problem as the OP did, years ago, as of yesterday, and cannot seem to find help elsewhere (*cough* redderp *cough*).
The Galaxy Map on the Ebon Hawk does not work as intended; when one clicks on any planet and hits "travel", the map just exits back to the ship and doesn't go anywhere, it doesn't engage any cutscenes.
How does one fix this problem? Someone on reddit suggested backing up the save files (don't wanna start all over, again) and uninstall and reinstall, but....this is a torrented goggames copy (it appears), and there's no unin file, anywhere.
The last KOTOR 1 playthrough, a couple of months ago, it worked fine, albeit in that run, this user didn't have the SWTOR-Revan-Face/model mod installed as this run has. What was weird was, before staring this run with the SWTOR-Revan-face/model, this user's saves from the run a couple of months ago didn't seem to exist, and may have possibly been deleted. Am fine with that, but this playthrough still needs the map to work, because planets can't be traveled to off of Dantooine. Did everyone on Dantooine (as able to do for now), but can't leave. The SWTOR-Revan-face/model mod is the only mod for KOTOR 1 this user has going, that said, there appear to be some (duplicated?) KOTOR 2 mods that this user has in their K2 folder, such as K2 companion look files in the K1 folders, but that didn't break anything up to this point. It's as if the actual file to make the map work when clicking "travel" is not where it should be, whatever that file is. All this user did in-between successful K1 and K2 runs in the last couple of months was re-attempt (successfully?) downloading and installing the newest 1.8.5/M4/Coruscant/SWTOR-Meetra-face/model mods, and those appear to be working as intended over there, but it's K1's map that is the issue, at least for now. The K2 companions have files with their names on them in the K1 Override folder, fwiw. Am not seeing a "backup"; what exactly did the OP copypasta into a new Override folder after emptying the previous one out? EDIT: Don't even see a "backup" folder for K1. Only K2.
Help? Thanks!
