*spoiler* A cutscene on Telos refuses to play

[KhalimaInverse 0]

Hi everyone,

 

I have got in my game to the point that I killed all the Jedi Masters and well I returned to Ebon Hawk and got the cutscene of Atton telling the Exile how Handmaiden has taken Kreia back to Telos. After I agree that we should leave to Telos and the cutscene which shows Ebon Hawk landing is shown, I find the Exile standing alone in the Telos Academy and it is empty with no one else around. I can go back to Ebon Hawk but I read from the Internet that I have still encountered a deadend and would appreciate if anyone knows a way to fix this. Handmaiden is LS and isn't a Jedi.

 

Help is needed because I wouldn't like to start it all over again. I am playing dark side male Jedi consular and using the latest TSLRCM 1.8.2 version + M4-75 mod. I also installed a small mod which gives Handmaiden style undies for for female Exiles : http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/Handmaiden_Style_Undies_For_Female_PCs;85946x#Download

 

I find it unlikely that would somehow be causing errors, can it?

 

All help is highly appreciated because I wouldn't want to start it all over again, though I have a few earlier saves too but it's of course always an extra burden to play it again just for a bug.

Did you kill Vash on M4-78?

Yes, I did. Is that causing the problem?

[Hassat Hunter 571]

It could be.

 

If you have KSE, use it to open your save and find the values for;

000_Jedi_Found

and

000_Jedi_Killed

I am sorry but I do not know what KSE is. Where can I download it and where are the saves located? I am using the Steam version of the game.

 

EDIT: Ah, I found it from GameFront. I will see what those values say.

Sorry for double post but KSE isn't working for me, the program just won't launch. Is there anything else I can do or is the program somehow malfunctioning? If it helps the file size is 4,5 or so megabytes and the version should be 3.3.3. Any other hints what I could do?

[Hassat Hunter 571]

Does it give an error message?

Could be it doesn't find KOTOR2 since from what I recall Steam doesn't make a registry entry like the CD-versions do. If so we might need to manually add a registry entry, if you feel fine with doing that...

[KhalimaInverse 0]

Unfortunately, there is no error message or anything. I double clicked the file and even then there isn't anything happening. I am using Windows 7 and well I don't really know how to add registry entries to my computer so you'd need to instruct me on that. I am not sure why KSE isn't launching at all, I tried to Google for solutions and I found some people with similar problem but none of them had been replied with solutions.

Ok, I followed the instructions on that link and KSE still shows no signs of life. :/ I mean like nothing, I would expect an error box at least but I can keep clicking the exe-file for eternity and nothing happens.

[Hassat Hunter 571]

In that case, I am at a loss.

But you can upload your save (zip or rar up the whole folder), then I can look at it with my KSE.

Ok here is the save file, I think I took the right file. Should be standing at Rebuilt Enclave after the cutscene with Kreia so what remains is to run to Ebon Hawk and then I am stuck. I hope this helps.

Another thing is to try disabling you antivirus. There've been reports of that working.

 

EDIT: Also, I checked your save. For a typical LS save, those numbers are:

 

000_Jedi_Found:4

000_Jedi_Kiled:0

 

For Ds, It'd be the same only the second would be different.

 

Your save has them as follows:

000_Jedi_Found:5

000_Jedi_Kiled:3

 

So, I'd suggest changing the top one to 4, and if that doesn't work, change the bottom one to 4 as well. If you can't get KSE to work, I can do it for you.

Thank you for taking a look at my save Fair Strides, now when I think about it actually for some reason the quest "Lost in Shadows" never switched from Active to Complete for me even after I killed Master Vrook on Dantooine because I decided to let the mercenaries to ship him to Nar Shaddaa in the dialogue which plays out in The Crystal Cave. So I think that is why there is at least 1 jedi missing from the 000_Jedi_Killed entry. All other Jedi Master quests had been registered as completed so I am not sure why the numbers still aren't correct.

 

I tried to launch KSE again today and it is still unresponsive, so I would appreciate it a lot if you could make the adjustments for me. It sounds like that could perhaps be one step forward in solving the problem. Thank you already in advance.

Here's your fixed save.

 

As stated it would have to be Jedi_Found 4. Odd it was 5, even more so if you didn't even FIND Vrook (he will appear in Khoonda after the events you described).

Jedi Killed shouldn't be 3 since you didn't kill Vrook yet, but that's an M4-78EP issue (Vash shouldn't raise it but does), don't think that causes the other issues though.

 

Also, oddly, Atton is present in your save in the Dantooine area. That, too, should not happen.

Some really weird stuff going on.

 

So, do you run other mods aside from those mentioned? Other weird occurances? What order of planets?

Oh I guess there has been a misunderstanding because I found Vrook on Dantooine, the Mercenaries were there in the cave with him and then I told the Mercenaries they can ship him to Nar Shaddaa. Then after I had made the deal with the Mercenary leader and attacked Khoonda , then Vrook was there and I killed him.

 

I am not sure why Atton is standing alone there in Dantooine because the beginning of the save file was right after the discussion with Kreia. Maybe the reason why Atton is there is that when I exited Ebon Hawk after landing at Dantooine, you get to select party members normally, so I picked Kreia and Atton. After the cutscene of the Exile entering the Rebuilt Enclave begins, all other party members disappear somewhere and when you wake up after betrayed by Kreia, you are alone, as in the beginning of the save. So I don't know why Atton didn't physically return to Ebon Hawk for example, because that's where he is when he tells you in a cutscene how Handmaiden took Kreia and what not.

 

I am not using any other mods than the ones mentioned in the first post. I will try to summarize here the order in which I did things:

 

1) After Telos my first planet was Nar Shaddaa, found and killed the Jedi Master as intended.

2) From Nar Shaddaa, I went to Dantooine, found Vrook and killed him after a tough fight. Despite that, the "Lost in the Shadows"-quest entry didn't disappear from the quest log.

3) I went to Korriban, did all the stuff there and got the clue about Vash going to M4-78.

4) I completed the first part of Dxun and Onderon by asking Dhagon Ghent to arrange the meeting with Kavarr and then betrayed Kavarr by backing Vaklu.

5) While Onderon was on cooldown, I went and did M4-78. I found Vash inside , and killed her and got her silver lightsabre.

6) Went back to Onderon, helped Vaklu to assault the palace where Kavarr was waiting for me. The fight went really fast, I am not sure if I skipped the cutscene where Kreia was supposed to comment to me about his force form. But he died anyway and after that I let Vaklu troopers to kill Queen Talia.

7) After Onderon, I flew to Dantooine, took Kreia and Atton to my party, and went to Rebuilt Enclave.

 

So yes I am not sure what went wrong. :s I thought that "Lost in the Shadows" would have completed itself/disappeared when Vrook died but it didn't. I guess there have been no other weird things related to the main storyline. Thank you for fixing the save, I will try it out and see if it works as intended.

[Hassat Hunter 571]

It's odd your file has 3 Jedi Masters killed with Vash incrementing it (while she shouldn't), and thus it should be 4 rather than 3. Maybe that's the cause, though I wouldn't know where exactly it went wrong then. Hopefully changing that fixes it wherever it goes wrong.

 

As for Vrook, seems the quest incorrectly doesn't close the quest at that ending. Thought I changed that for 1.8, but checking the journal file for both it and M4-78EP it's listed as not closing the quest. Guess have to fix that for 1.8.3.

[KhalimaInverse 0]

Thank you for all the help, the game is working marvelously again and I was able to get the cutscene run as intended and actually got inspired by this success so much that I already proceeded all the way to Malachor V. No other problems so far. Thank you for providing us with this cool mod, it truly makes the game a completely new experience and solid experience.

[Hassat Hunter 571]

Solid besides this happening you mean

But thanks, hope you liked the ending with TSLRCM! And you look forward to 1.8.3 and the M4-78EP patch

Thanks for handling that, HH. I am not around DS as much as I am around LF, and for some reason DS hates me. When we had the login issues with the new server changes, I had Tyvokka switch me from my yahoo to my gmail. Incidentally, my email notifications still go to my Yahoo, so I didn't know about the new posts in the thread.

 

*sigh* Man, I hate it when it seems like I drop people like this...

[Hassat Hunter 571]

That's what I'm for.

 

And that sounds very odd. System only has your gmail adress, so why it would send mails to the old beats me :/
