KOTOR 1 – Calo Nord Cantina Cutscene Freezes / Javyar’s Cantina Scripts Break – Community Portal Mod Build I'm having a game-breaking scripting issue in KOTOR 1 while following the Community Portal spoiler-free mod build. I installed the mods in the prescribed order, including the Community Patch compatibility versions where specified. The problem occurs in Javyar's Cantina on Taris, during Calo Nord's introductory cutscene. The problem When I enter the cantina and trigger Calo Nord's scene: Calo says "Go away." One of the Black Vulkars responds. The dialogue/cutscene then stops progressing. Calo remains standing in the cantina instead of continuing the scripted sequence. The rest of the expected sequence never happens — Calo does not perform the countdown/throw the grenade/kill the Vulkars/leave. This also causes other scripted content in the cantina to malfunction. For example, Bib Surool is missing from his expected position next to Lyn Sekla, which breaks the Starlight Entertainers-related content. I've also noticed that companions can behave incorrectly/not follow properly after this point, which makes me suspect that the game is failing to complete some scripted state rather than this simply being a visual issue. What I've already tried I've tried the following: Game/display set to 60 Hz Game capped at 60 FPS V-sync ON V-sync OFF Restarting the game Loading a save from before entering Javyar's Cantina Starting the scene with no companions in the party Removing mods from Override that specifically appeared to make changes to Calo Trying to use save editing to bypass/complete the event Retesting the scene from an earlier save The problem consistently reproduces. Community Patch I am using K1 Community Patch 1.10.0, as specified by the mod build. I also have a separate archive/folder called "K1CP Patch" containing: n_fatcomm.mdl n_fatcomm.mdx These appear to be model files, so I don't believe they are related to the Calo scripting problem. Important discovery: tar_m03ae.mod Since Javyar's Cantina is module M03AE, I started investigating tar_m03ae.mod. I found two versions associated with the installation of K1 Twi'lek Male NPC Diversity: Backup version: approximately 843 KB, dated/associated with the August 28 installation Current installed version: approximately 857 KB, last modified September 1 The Twi'lek Diversity mod was installed using the Community Patch-compatible version, as instructed by the mod/build. Interestingly, when I use the Diversity-modified module, Bib Surool is actually present in the correct location next to Lyn Sekla. Before using that module version, Bib was missing. So the mod clearly affects the state/contents of the cantina module even though its primary purpose is NPC appearance diversity. I inspected the m03ae.git files from the different module versions. The root contains: Areaproportions [Struct] = 14 Creature List [List] = 27 Cameralist [List] = 12 Door List [List] = 2 Encounter List = 0 List [List] = 0 Placable List [List] = 36 Soundlist [List] = 2 Storelist [List] = 1 Triggerlist [List] = 6 UseTemplates [UInt8] = 1 WaypointList [List] = 28 I specifically compared Calo's creature entry (entry 12) between the 843 KB and 857 KB module versions. Calo's TemplateResRef is: tar03_calo031 The values for Calo's creature entry were identical between the two versions. So at least from that comparison, Calo's physical placement/orientation in the area GIT does not appear to be the difference. Relevant precedent I found a Deadly Stream discussion from 2025 involving a broken Javyar's Cantina scripted scene where a modified tar_m03ae.mod was ultimately involved. In that case, a K1CP Tweak Pack bug-fix component affecting the cantina sitter was found to be responsible for breaking the scene, and removing that component allowed the scene to work again. I realize this does not necessarily mean my problem has the same cause, but it seems significant because my issue is also a scripted Javyar's Cantina scene failure involving tar_m03ae.mod. Calo script information I also looked at the K1CP script source for the Calo cantina scene (k_ptar_calobar.nss). The end of the script manipulates Calo and the three aliens and then resumes the conversation after a delay. It contains logic involving: taproomvic031 taproomvic032 taproomvic033 calo031 and eventually: ActionPauseConversation(); ... AssignCommand(oCalo, PlayAnimation(ANIMATION_FIREFORGET_THROW_LOW)); DelayCommand(0.6, PlaySound("cs_grentoss")); DelayCommand(1.2, ActionResumeConversation()); There is also a comment in the source regarding an apparently incorrect UT_SetPlotBooleanFlag function assignment. I don't know whether that is relevant to my particular failure, but I'm including it in case someone familiar with K1CP scripting recognizes something. Current theory At this point I'm wondering whether some mod is modifying tar_m03ae.mod in a way that interferes with the Calo cutscene's dialogue/script state. The main possibilities I've identified are: K1 Twi'lek Male NPC Diversity, despite installing its Community Patch-compatible version exactly as instructed. Another mod from the Community Portal build that modifies tar_m03ae.mod. An interaction involving K1CP 1.10.0 and another mod. A problem with the Calo cutscene script itself. I do not have the K1CP Tweak Pack installed. Proposed next test My next planned test is to start a completely new game with: K1CP 1.10.0 No other mod that modifies tar_m03ae.mod and then rush to Javyar's Cantina to test Calo's scene. The idea is to determine whether the problem disappears when the cantina module is isolated from the other module-changing mods. If the Calo scene works, I'll know the problem is almost certainly caused by one of the other mods modifying the cantina module. If it still fails, I'll know to stop focusing on those mods and investigate K1CP/the Calo script or another global conflict. What I'm hoping someone can help with I'd particularly appreciate help from someone familiar with K1CP, module injection/HoloPatcher, or KOTOR scripting who can tell me: Which mods in the Community Portal build modify tar_m03ae.mod Whether the K1CP Tweak Pack has a known component that can interfere with Calo's cantina scene Whether the K1 Twi'lek Male NPC Diversity compatibility patch is expected to modify tar_m03ae.mod Whether the Calo script shown above has any known failure conditions Whether the missing Bib Surool and the frozen Calo cutscene are likely related Whether there is a known conflict between K1CP 1.10.0 and another component of the Community Portal build in Javyar's Cantina I followed the build's installation instructions, including the Community Patch compatibility version of the Twi'lek Diversity mod, so I'm particularly interested in finding out whether this is a mod interaction/patching problem rather than an installation-order mistake. Thanks to anyone willing to take a look. I've already spent a considerable amount of time troubleshooting this, so I'd really appreciate any suggestions that can narrow it down without requiring me to reinstall the entire build. One other thing Maybe I'm just an idiot and I'm missing something obvious here, but I'd really like to have a legitimate playthrough of the game. I don't want to have to use cheats, save editing, or console commands to force quests and scripts to complete because of a mod-related bug. I'm perfectly fine troubleshooting this and doing whatever testing is necessary, but my goal is to eventually have a playthrough where the game works as intended and I don't have to wonder whether I've broken something by bypassing a bug.

View File Build a Calo A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Author: N-DReW25 1.0.0 Release Date: 22.03.2024 Pre-Installation: Please install the K1 Community Patch FIRST before this mod! If you plan on using any of JCarter426's Cloaked Jedi Robe mods, please ensure that his mods are installed before Build a Calo. This mod is divided into two versions, the "Normal Versions" which uses the vanilla Calo Nord model and the "JC's Cloaked Robe Compatible version" which uses JC's Calo Nord hotfix model. If you plan on using the Cloaked Robes, install that mod before Build a Calo and use the "JC's Cloaked Robe Compatible version" of this mod, if you don't plan on using those mods then please use the "normal version" instead. Installation: Simply click on the INSTALL.exe and you'll be given two install options. "Calo Nord Head & Body" will allow you to modify Calo Nord's head & body post-Taris. "Calo Nord Body Only" will only allow you to modify Calo Nord's body post-Taris. This means the head texture you use on Taris will also appear post-Taris. Calo Nord's post-Taris appearance will now use the skin "N_CaloNord02.tga" in the Override and "N_CaloNordH02.tga" if you used "Calo Nord Head & Body". Once you've selected your desired option, click install then sit back and watch the TSLPatcher do its magic. If you do nothing after installing this mod, Calo Nord will use SpaceAlex's brown outfit post-Taris from the K1EP. You can install the "N_CaloNord02.tga" texture from the Optional Black Outfit folder to make Calo Nord's post-Taris outfit use Watcher07's black outfit (the same one recommended on the Kotor Mod Build website). You can download other Calo Nord textures & rename them to make them work with Build a Calo. For example, if you download "Quanon's Calo Nord Skin" you can install the "GameLook" option first and this will replace Calo's appearance on Taris. If you open "QSLook" and rename the following files, placing these renamed files in the Override will instead replace Calo's appearance post-Taris: N_CaloNord01.tga -------> N_CaloNord02.tga N_CaloNord01.txi -------> N_CaloNord02.txi N_CaloNordH01.tga -------> N_CaloNordH02.tga N_CaloNordH01.txi -------> N_CaloNordH02.txi This feature is intended to be customizable, instead of using Quanon's "GameLook" for Taris and "QSLook" post-Taris you can have it be reversed, or you could have Emperor Turnip's HD Calo Nord textures. Just remember to have the Taris skins set to 01 with the post-Taris skins set to 02 as shown above. And remember, N_CaloNordH02.tga will ONLY work with the "Calo Nord Head & Body" installation option. Description: Calo Nord is a bounty hunter in Kotor who is iconic for his colorful attire. Throughout the years, mods have sprung up which alter Calo Nord's appearance by changing the overall color scheme of his outfit or by changing his entire style, in the early to late 2000s these modded skins used the default 512x512 resolution whilst newer mods made in the late 2010s & beyond use higher texture resolutions to add more detail to the skins. 2024 is the year which saw the release of N-DReW25's take on the character with his "Build a Calo" mod. Breaking with the tradition of crafting a new skin to add to the collection of other Calo Nord skins which have come & gone, I've instead chosen to craft an elaborate little mod which uses other people's Calo Nord reskins in a way never before seen. The way "Build a Calo" works is that Calo Nord will appear on Taris with one set appearance, whilst after Taris he's wearing a different outfit. If you install this mod & boot up the game, Calo will wear his blue outfit on Taris whilst after Taris he'll wear a new brown outfit from the defunct K1 Enhancement Pack. If you choose to install the "Optional Black Outfit" AFTER installing Build a Calo, you'll have Calo use Watcher07's reskin (the same one from Snigaroo's Kotor Mod Build) after Taris. Now, if you look at the screenshots on the Build a Calo mod page, you'll see that it's possible to install "Quanon's Calo Nord Skin" found on Deadlystream with the "Gamelook" version appearing on Taris whilst the "QsLook" version appearing after Taris. Before Build a Calo, you'd have to pick either "Gamelook" or "QsLook"... it was one or the other, but with Build a Calo you can now have both. With this mod, you "Build" Calo Nord to your liking. Do you want to use both of Quanon's Calo Nord skins at once? Would you rather swap Quanon's Calo Nord skins so "QsLook" appears on Taris whilst "Gamelook" appears after Taris? Do you want to use Watcher07's black reskin on Taris whilst Calo uses the brown K1EP reskin after Taris? Will you install the "Calo Nord Head & Body" version of Build a Calo and use Quanon's skins to change both Calo's outfit & head? Or will you customise Calo Nord even further? Would you rather install "Calo Nord Body Only" version of Build a Calo & use Quanon's "Gamelook" version of Calo Nord's head on both Taris & after whilst his body uses Emperor Turnip's HD Calo Nord outfit texture on Taris and Quanon's "QsLook" texture after Taris? Or will new mods be published after Build a Calo? Maybe some new HD texutres for Calo Nord in the future may also be used alongside Build a Calo, maybe someone could make a "battle damaged" version of Calo Nord which can be used with this mod for his appearance after Taris. The possibilities are endless! Known Bugs: If there are bugs feel free to report them to me on Deadlystream.

View File Quanons Calo Nord Skin This is a small skin pack I had laying about. It just improves Calo Nord, the bounty hunter. You'll get two variants, in this pack, each has its own folder. The "Gamelook", as the name implies, is Calo in his blue vest outfit and white hat. Second folder, QsLook, is a minor recolor of my own choice. It gives him a tanned darker vest. And black hat. Other details remain just the same. He now has a mustache! I know! It just made sense to me 😄 To install; unpack and then copy the contents to your override folder.
