Can't Advance to M4-78

[Zerimar Nyliram 0]

I posted this same thread at Lucas Forums a few days ago, and since they're pretty much useless these days I have decided to join Deadly Stream to post it here. I also will try to become an active member of the community since people who join forums just to ask a single question are a pet peeve of mine.

 

Anyway, I am playing through KOTOR 2 with TSLRCM and M4-78 for the second time (I haven't changed or added anything to the game since my last run-through) and I cannot advance because M4-78 is not on the map. I completed Korriban, found the room devoid of Lona Vash, saw the recording of her and her Padawan, and received the datapad. I took it to T3-M4 aboard the Ebon Hawk and determined the location from him, with the accompanying journal entry stating that M4-78 is now available on the galaxy map.

 

Only thing is, it isn't. It's not there. Nada.

 

I read this forum, and the last post mentions manually moving the galaxy map files to the override folder, which should correct the problem. The only problem with that is that the M4-78 installation just that, and I cannot access any individual files within it as I would with a normal mod.

 

Can anyone either send the appropriate files to me, or give me a warp code that will take me to M4-78, or provide any other fix? Once again, I completed Korriban and have spoken to T3-M4, so I have done everything I am supposed to do.

 

And please, I'm asking for urgency as I am just about to travel to the planet now and I have hardly any time to play this game with my work schedule. I'm also trying to get it done and over with as soon as possible to get to my other games I have waiting for me on my new PS4.

 

Thanks in advance!

Other mods? Like Coruscant?

You could install it into a fake location (not your actual game folder) - then you just need to grab the files from there to your actual location.

Okay, I just tried doing as you say, and it turns out the galaxy map files are not named "galaxymap" as I thought they'd be. Any idea which files I need to move?

 

Other mods? Like Coruscant?

 

No Coruscant mod. The only mod I've added since my last play-through is the HK-47/50/51 TOR reskin mod. Might that have messed with it? It was working fine last time.

Thank you! It's good to be here. I will work on filling out that questionnaire now.

Okay, here we go:

1) During the game, when did the problem begin to occur?

 

Just after returning from Korriban, having witnessed the recording of Vash and her Padawan and ascertaining the coordinates from T3-M4.

 

2) Did you install the latest version of the mod? (1.8.4 and 1.2 respectively)

 

I believe it's 1.8.3 for TSLRCM, but that shouldn't matter since it worked just fine the last time.

 

3) What version of the game do you have? (Steam, GOG, 4CD, KotOR Collection?) What region is the game designed for if it's the 4 CD version?

 

GOG.

 

4) Did you update your game as required by your game's region? (4-CD version ONLY)

 

N/A (GOG version).

 

5) Did you install this over the previous version(s), or did you perform a fresh installation as required by the TSLRCM's read-me file?

 

Fresh. I've never installed TSLRCM or M4-78 before.

 

6) What other mods have you installed? Please give an accurate list and provide links to each of these mods - even if they are found on this site. (We don't actually know them all!.)

 

Oh, geez. Too many to name, too many to track the links for (some of which may be dead). Suffice it to say that the only additional mod I've installed since the last time I played (when it worked fine) is the mod that reskins all the HK droids to resemble their TOR counterparts.

 

7) Can you be more specific about the error? At what point did it happen?

 

See the answer to question #1.

 

8) Have you tried re-downloading/re-installing the mod?

 

I could, but it would involve uninstalling and reinstalling all of my mods which I installed on top of TSLRCM and M4-78, many of which involved lots of file tinkering and manipulation. I believe it's moot anyway since, as I said, it worked fine the last time I played.

 

9) Have you tried using a different save game?

 

Yes. I have a save from just before talking to T3-M4. Same results.

 

10) Have you tried starting a new game?

 

Such a thing would require too much backtracking, and I have hardly any time to play the game as it it. Thusly, it took forever to reach this point. I can't play it all day long and be done with it in less than a week like I could a decade ago.

 

11) What Operating System do you use? (List Virtual Machines as well if you are using them.)

 

I'm still an XP user, for now. Working on building a new computer (which is beside the point, but there you go).

 

12) Can you confirm that you see the TSLRCM logo on the the main menu screen?

 

It isn't there anymore only because I installed a module reskin mod that included a reskin of the main logo (which I didn't care for and deleted). That is the only reason why the Restoration Project logo no longer appears.

The file is galaxymap_p.gui.

[Zerimar Nyliram 0]

It isn't there. I swear it! I'm checking in all the new folders (most notably Override) that were just created when I installed the mod into a fake location, and "galaxymap_p.gui." is not among them. I even did a search and it turned up nothing.

This makes no sense! The file isn't showing up among the installation files, yet it worked just fine the last time I played.

 

[Edit] And there isn't such a file in any of the folders (including Override) in the directory where my game is installed either.

Is this the updated version of M4-78 that was just released? What's the date on the installer?

[Zerimar Nyliram 0]

June 18, 2015. Not sure if that's the latest version or not. Even so, how the heck did it work the last time I played?

[LiliArch 115]

Maybe you accidentally deleted the file from your Override?

[Zerimar Nyliram 0]

But that doesn't explain why it isn't included in the installation.

[Zerimar Nyliram 0]

Look, can someone please just send me the file and I'll let you know if that does the trick? I don't want to drag this out any longer; I want to hurry up and finish this game. I didn't delete the file, I didn't change anything (except add the HK droid mod), and I did everything I was supposed to do in the game to trigger it. Please just send me the file and we'll see if it works.

If not, please tell me how to warp to M4-78.

[LiliArch 115]

Now that you mentioned... it's not in my Override, either. On the other hand, as M4-78 was a cut planet, it seems to be in the galaxymap_p.gui that's in the game files already, so it's not required to be in the Override. What you're missing is something in some script (though don't ask me what and where).

[Zerimar Nyliram 0]

Hmm. Well, that answers that question, I guess. Would anyone be able to shed some light on this?

 

[Edit] Well, I found the warp coordinates on the 'Net and it does the trick when I punch in "warp 801dro." I guess it's a temporary fix and one I can live with if I can't figure out which script I'm missing. I'll play with it more when I get home from Thanksgiving dinner tonight.

 

Happy Thanksgiving, my fellow Americans!

[Hassat Hunter 571]

Well, if the TOR mod is the only addition, did you try removing that?

 

And indeed, galaxymap_p.gui is NOT modified by M4-78EP, it uses the vanilla version. The Coruscant mod however modifies it, poorly (using the same number for coruscant as M4-78, so only one can appear, Coruscant) which my compatibility patch fixes. However there's really no need for the file if you're not using Coruscant (and probably would do strange stuff if you try flying to a Coruscant planet you don't have).

[Zerimar Nyliram 0]

I already beat M4-78 via the aforementioned warp code, so the point is kind of moot now. Oddly, another bug presented itself in the form of a game freeze during the cutscene where Kaah walks toward the docks and is apprehended by the droids after you've activated M4-78 and beheld the fate of Master Vash (playing on the light side). It kept crashing no matter how many times I loaded the game. Finally, I decided to try warping back to that map instead of using the door, which fixed the issue, allowing the cutscene to play out unencumbered.

Still, weird.
