Red Eclipse Boarding Glitch

[Mrcharlton 0]

TSL has always hated me. In my five or six years of having the game, I have only had one successful playthrough out of the eight attempts I made. The rest of my playthroughs were filled with glitches, game breaks, and bugs, which resulted in my rage quitting. Very recently I decided to make one final crack at TSL before I officially remove it from my computer. After fixing the bugs left over from my last attempt back in June, I started a new game with a handful of mods, particularly the most recent build of the TSLRCM (1.8.2)

            Recently, on Nar Shaddaa, the first planet I journeyed to, I have encountered a very annoying bug. After completing every quest in the refugee sector I went back to the main hub where the landing pad is, initiating the Red Eclipse cutscenes where they commandeered the Ebon Hawk. I went to kill the crew and then boarded my ship, only, when I did so, I spawned on the Hawk all alone, my party members not present, and I was forced to take on the crew all by myself. No problem. After killing the captain and talking to Rhetrin it reloaded me on the true Hawk module (not the Red Eclipse one), but I am unable to leave the Hawk or access the navicomputer (I usually head over to Onderon after completing a few quests on NS and then return after the first visit to Onderon).

            I remember encountering this bug on my fourth or fifth playthrough three years ago when 1.6 was the latest build. I forgot to download the Nar Shaddaa patch. Only then, during the sequence, the cutscenes with the Red Eclipse occurred two or three times, which was one of the reported bugs in said build. Expected, naturally.

            This time however I was not expecting this to happen again. I must face the crew all by myself on the Hawk and, when finished, I can’t leave the Hawk! Only, unlike in 1.6, the repetitive cuts do not occur, yet all of the other problems occur. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with 1.8.2, which makes virtually no sense at all.

            I tried just about everything, starting with referring to this thread on this website

            http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/920601-/55424422

                The whole TSL patcher advice did not work. I also tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it, which, while it got rid of most of my mods (with an exception of the TSLRCM and the skins, which is all I really need), I figured should definitely work. It didn’t. Finally, I tried warping by enabling cheats, but the cheat bar doesn’t work. I know it is invisible in TSL, but whenever I press the tithe key (~), nothing happens. I still move whenever I try to type something in. I don’t know, but I think this may be because the version I am playing came from a torrent, as I lost my original install discs sometime in 2011. Either way, cheats don’t work…

                I also tried warping via the armband mods that are out there. Whenever I give myself the cheat armband using save game editor it doesn’t appear in my inventory. I have also attempted to remove the quest via the editor, but no matter what the quest reappears every time I progress.

                Can someone please help me? I am at my wit’s end! TSL has really been getting on my nerves. I just want to have one last playthrough. One last bloody playthrough before I clear up my hard drive. Is that too much to ask? I just want to finish the damn game for once, but, as I said earlier, TSL hates me…

 

 

edit: Oh, and Hannharr is randomely in the middle of the square outside of the entertainment promenade. He is just standing there. I tried talking to him just for the hell of it, but nothing happens (I do lightside btw)

I also had the Holowan Consortium mod, Cati, and HOTOR as well as Ithorian Cantina and Ebon Hawk Cargo mod. The rest were just armbands, items, and skins.

I don't believe any of those mods are compatible with TSLRCM.

Holowan Consortium: Incompatible with TSLRCM  

HOTOR 1.6: Incompatible with TSLRCM

Ithorian Cantina: Incompatible with TSLRCM

Ebon Hawk Cargo Mod: Incompatible with TSLRCM - Causes a conflict with trying to get the HK Factory quest to fire.

 

Check this Compatibility List to see if you recognize any other mods that do not work with TSLRCM.

Thank you for your responses. I was able to bypass the entire trigger of the Red Eclipse boarding after using the Save Game editor to add the quest and then label it as completed (by assigning the final phase). I was able to get the warp band to work, so I went back to the Hawk, triggering the fight with Visas and then a conversation between Atton and Kreia (which I believe should have occurred after the Red Eclipse boarding scene in the first place).

 

The only problem is that now all of the VO's are messed up. I can see the dialog, but I cannot hear it. I checked my sound settings and it is at default. I can hear some of the voice overs, but only the crucial ones (triggered), but not when I talk to my companions. I can hear T3's initial response, but other than that, nothing. I went back to earlier saves and I have the same issue. It may be a different problem, but I don't know. Is this another common bug or should I just reinstall the game for the hundredth time?

Just to be thorough, I would reinstall.  I know it's a pain, but with a clean installation free from the incompatibilities mentioned above, you are bound to finally experience TSL the way it is supposed to be.
