Stuck on Telos, no HK factory

[Nimmireth 10]

OK I've tried going back and loading my game 3 times now, and the same thing has happened each time. Actually, it's been 4 times now since I've installed version 1.7. I spoke to HK-47 about the sonic imprint sensor, killed 3 groups of HK's, and got the torture cutscene in which he tells me that the droid factory is on Telos. But then I finish fighting Atris, and I get 4 cutscenes: the Ebon Hawk taking off from the POlar region, the Ravager flying through space, a shuttle (supposedly carrying HK-47, heading for Telos and the factory), and the Ravager and Sith arriving at Telos. Then all of a sudden my PC is in the Telos military base, facing the door that is (I thought) supposed to lead to the HK factory. The door is locked, and I can't do anything in the military base.

The first time I got this, I wandered around the military base, and then found the HK-50s that come after you the first time you're in the base. I spoke to one of them, and it triggered the "the target has eluded us . . . they're headed for the Telos Polar region" bit, and then the cutscene where the HK shoots down your shuttle in the polar region. I was then on the Polar region Mesa, with Bao-Dur lying unconcious, and a couple of Handmaidens standing there. I spoke to one, and somehow got Atris' lightsaber crystal (I have USM and the patch installed). I went inside the "academy" but couldnt' go into Atris' chamber. So ther was nothing else I could do.

The last time, I tried leaving the military base (without talking to the HK-50's), but that just leads outside, where there's nothing I can do either.

I don't understand. I didn't have HK-47 with me when I killed the 3 groups of HK-50s, but I still got the torture scene where he tells me the factory is on Telos. So shouldn't I have ended up in the Telos Military base as HK-47, able to open the door to the factory (the locked door)? Why am I stuck as my Player Character??

Other mods?

It IS an old USM issue though, are you using the 1.6+ compatibility patch?

[Stoney 1,510]

remove k_232_enter.ncs from your override folder and back up to a save before leaving Atris. Apparently still have some old USM files in there?

[Nimmireth 10]

Yeah, I did download the compatability patch when I had 1.6 installed, and it worked fine for the rest of the game. Except for some reason, when I put my personal lightsaber crystal into a normal lightsaber (not a USM one), it disappeared. I didn't notice until I had already saved over all my savegame slots, so I lost my lightsaber crystal. I still don't know why that happened. But anyway, I'll try deleting that file, and see what happens. Thanks for the help!!

It worked! Thank you so much!!!

OK, now I have a different problem. I've dealt with the communications thing in the HK factory, but my journal still says that I have to find a way to stop the HK-50s from contacting me. And I've seen the droid schematics, re-started the HK-51 production, and pulled the chain that brings that little droid out of the other room, but now when I click on it, all it says is something like "this droid is meant to modify droid programming." I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. Isn't that droid supposed to modify HK-47's programming so he can shut down the reactor core? I've been all over the base (the parts that I can access so far), and there's nothing else I can do, that I can see. What have I missed? Has someone posted a walkthrough for the HK factory anywhere?

 

Never mind, one of the cutscenes just didn't trigger. I think it'll work now.
