Problem with animation before entering Ravager (and it's not black screen issue)

[Eru 0]

When republic fleet arrive to Telos, there is animation, where admiral Cele suppose to give orders, but he only came to the bridge and do not say anything. A because of that, i cannot get further in the game. Do you know how to fix this? Or how to skip ingame animation? Thanks

That's exactly what's happening to my friend right now!

He asked me to see it though and sent me the save file. I replicated the problem but I don't know how to fix it. I have even tried to change Revan's alignment in KSE and then Carth comes instead of Cede but same thing happens... Worst is that I don't remember if I had this problem during my 1.7 playthrough which was long time ago... (maybe I just cheated past it... )

 

Anyway, does somebody know the solution to this? He definitely don't have USM or something installed, and I have replicated it with just TSLRCM 1.7 + Unofficial Fix + Ravager Fix. Since this is first time that he's playing TSL I don't want him to miss any of animations by warping...

 

Anyone?

Not really. With the mods listed, that should plainly not happen. The only way I can see it being true with you with that configuration would be if it was saved while on the black screen the Ravager fix fixes, but would "store" a copy of that Ravager map in the savegame.

 

So... does your friend have any other mods? Or if he saved at the black screen and applied the fix then tried with that save an earlier save?

I asked him today for a detailed list of mods and this is what he had sand me :

TSLRCM 1.7 + Unofficial Fix + Ravager Fix

Kill The Ithorian 1.1

Nar Shaddaa Skybox Mod

BETTER MALE BODIES - KOTOR II

Fixed Mandalorian Banners

Goto's Yacht Window Upgrade

Coruscant High Resolution Textures

Ebon Hawk Lab Station Mod

Remote Tells Influence

Nihilus Improved

Malachor Bosses Improved (just Sion because Kreia messes Atris)

Trayus Academy Rank Reformation 1.21

Handmaiden Sisters Fix (TSLRCM compatible version)

Realistic Visual Effects

UniWS Widescreen patch

 

Also he noted that it is setup from beginning and he didn't change anything mid-game.

 

As I said, I tested it with as clean installation possible: only 1.7 and fixes and UniWS, to eliminate any possible incompatibility. Here's also the save he had sent me in attachment.

 

EDIT: What had caught my eye, as you can see on screenshot that Eru posted, is that officer from the left side of Cede is missing, along with two more that are not caught on the picture...

That made me look in 222TEL module from TSLRCM in Kotor Tool, and it seams that rep_nav.utc, rep_nav005.utc and rep_officer.utc don't have a set appearance. I tried to set than as in vanilla module and toss them in Override but it didn't work. Maybe I need a earlier save for that?

That's cause there appearances aren't "standard" for TSL, and thus do not appear in the KOTORTool. They are added with the GFFEditor or TSLPatcher from the Appearance.2da.

 

So the most likely culprit would be a newly installed Appearance.2da from another mod, overwriting TSLRCM's... and removing the necessary lines in the progress...

 

I would assume Realistic Visual Effects, since that's the only shared mod between OP and your friend aside from Kill the Ithorian, which doesn't touch appearances.

[Hassat Hunter 571]

Getting the same with that save, which is no doubt because the cutscene already started once without Ravager fix AND the broken appearance.2da, which are stored in the savegame itself.

Using an older save and you should be able to proceed. Using an older and a proper appearance.2da and your friend can proceed, without need to cheat through...

[Hassat Hunter 571]

You can use my save (attached) to make sure it's working for yourself. Also your friend.

 

However with the savegame you provided fixing it has no use, you cannot restore that even with KSE.

I do not have any older save, because this is my second playthrough and first one was without any problem (and with the same mods). So, what cheat do you talking about?

[Pavijan357 11]

Hassat, thanks a lot. I have sent him original .2da, I hope he still has older save...

Well, best method is open swkotor2.ini in your KOTOR2 directory with Notepad and under the line [Game Options] add the following lines:

EnableCheats=1

Enable Console=1

Than load your last save, OBLIGATORY - remove anyone who's following you from party, and than press [~] or [`] to open (invisible) console and type "warp 851NIH" (without the quotas) press enter and that's it! You will miss boarding cut scene, but since you saw that before, I don't believe it will be an issue.

Pavijan357: Thanks. I finally finished it.
