KOTOR1: Black Screen/Loading Screen after Leviathan Mini-Game Turret

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

I've been trying to fix my problem for 4 hours now, in vain.

 

 

 

I possess the game on Steam. I play on Windows 7.

 

My Computer details:

 

GeFore 8600 GT

Intel®Core 2 Duo CPU E6550 @2.33GHz

3,00  GO RAM

Microsoft Windows 7 

64 bits

 

Let me explain:

 

I defeated Malak for the first time, Bastilla was left behind. After running to the hangar (with my main character), followed by Carth, the turret mini game start. After finishing the turret mini game, the loading screen appears, but it's not loading at all. The game didn't really freeze, I can ALT TAB and then close it. 

 

What I tried to do:

 

- Disable Frame Buffer Effects & Frame buffer via swkotor.ini

- Disable V-Sync, Anti Aliasing, Anisotropy

- Disable Mouse Hardware Mouse via swconfig.exe

- Enable Force Software Sound

- Start the game in Windowed mode (modifying the swkotor.ini, adding AllowWindowedMode=1, FullScreen=1)

- Put Resolution to 800x600

 

Also.. Disable Movies

- Downloaded and Installed the Eliminate Mini-Game Turret mode to skip it.

-> Now I have a black screen after the hangar escape

 

- Tried to download and put atiogllx.dll and Mss32.dll in my swkotor folder.

 

- Moved away all my .UTC files from my Override folder.

 

- Load an older save

 

- Set compatibility to Windows XP SP 2, execute as admin

 

 

Here's my mod list:

 

- Brotherhood of Solomon: SR and its patch

- K1 Force 

- Recruitable Kay

- Korriban Crystal Cave

- Tomb of Jesset Dal Kest

- Ord Mandell

- WotOR

- Leviathan Party

- Juhani Romance

- Bastilla Frevan Romance

- Juhani New Look

- Recruitable Mekel

- Allronix Dialogue Pack

- Operation Kill Bastilla

- Melee Weapon Pack

- No Fighters (No Mini game turret)

- Exar Kun Tomb

- 90sk Robe

- Head for rfemale character

Do you have any of these files in your override folder?

ebo_carth.dlg

lev40_carth.dlg

ebo_carth.utc

ebo40_carthtlk.utt

k_pebn_pophawk.ncs

k_pebo_advcarth.ncs

 

If so, you might try removing these files temporarily. If that doesn't work, then try removing or renaming the ebo_m40ad.mod file in the modules folder (found in the main game's folder) to something random like "fake" and try again from just before leaving the Leviathan.

Hey Fair, thanks for the answer.

 

I've found:

 

ebo_carth.dlg

lev41_carth.dlg (found lastly)

ebo41_carthtlk.utt instead of ebo40_carthtlk.utt

 

and lev40_carth.dlg

 

 

I didn't find:

 

ebo_carth.utc

k_pebn_pophawk.ncs

k_pebo_advcarth.ncs

 

I took the 3 files I found away first then more files such as: http://www.noelshack.com/2016-11-1458497828-sans-titre1.png

 

It didn't work, same black screen, turned on movies again, got a 0% loading screen again. 

 

I've found a ebo_m40ad.mod and a ebo_m40ad_s.rim, renamed the first one, still doesn't work, I also tried to put away the second one but I didn't work either.

 

 

EDIT:

 

Somehow I've found another  ebo_m40ad.mod in "Override" this time, and the lev41_carth.dlg I didn't find when I first searched, I took them away, 

 

Now I have 40%! Still not enough tho. :)

 

My backup folder on my desktop looks like that: http://www.noelshack.com/2016-11-1458498986-sans-titre1.png

 

It's all the files I've put away temporary.

Going by the fact that ebo_m40ad exists, I will assume you're using K1R.

 

Could you please copy the questions from here and past them in a reply to me in this thread? And going by the "Fichier" in the picture you linked, I'm assuming you're playing a non-English KotOR...

I'm not using K1R, (maybe it was included in one of the mods on my list?)

 

I'm playing the English version of KotOR (I'd rather prefer to have the full game in english)

You have WotOR. From the KotOR Files page:

 

**Note** Make sure you remove the p_bastilla001.utc and the p_bastilla002.utc files once you install the mod. It has caused some issues on the Leviathan for some people and they aren't needed files anyway.

 

Can you verify that you removed the two files?

Might try renaming your Override folder and moving all of the .mod files out of the modules folder.

 

K1R is the only mod I know of that would edit ebo_m40ad, so I'm not sure which of your mods adds that file (though I'd hazard a guess at Recruitable Mekel or Recruitable Kay). As it is, I can't help out much here.

For the sake of argument, with WOTOR, you are required to remove p_bastila02.UTC through p_bastila06.UTC.

 

I tested an earlier version of K1R, and it did the trick for me.
