I am sorry to report that the modification has been not working properly for a number of users due to some timing issue which did not occur to me when testing on my work computer.
Now the soft lock reported should no longer happen to anyone. For those that have a game going and are using the K1 CP a new installation is not needed. It is enough to download version 1.1 and drop the updated k_ctar_ptyrdy.ncs file into the Override folder. Those that do not use the K1 CP instead must drop in the Override folder the following files as well: cp_tar08cam01.mdl, cp_tar08cam01.mdx, cp_s_calonordtar.mdl, and cp_s_calonordtar.mdx.
Many apologies to those of you who were subject to this unpleasant experience.
