Citadel Station (during the Sith assault) & Malachor first cutscene issues

[marsp 10]

Hello!

 

I encountered 2 issues on my playthrough. First, on the Entertainment Module on Telos, the one where the Sith have assaulted the station, after I cleared them all, completed the Bonus mission to stop them from screwing the station and talked to Mandalore, the movie with the Sojourn starts and after that, the cutscene with Carth should play out. It does, but there seems to be a missing NPC (the one at the left seat on the front part of the Bridge) and it so happens, that it's the one that has lines along with Carth, so it stays at one point all the time, can't skip it and I had to warp to the Ravager.

 

Now the next one is more annoying. After I destroyed the Ravager and had the conversation with Carth on Telos (playing Lightside Female) I went off to Malachor and there the cutscene with Kreia and Sion plays out, but after a few lines my screen goes black, they still do talk and after that the movie with the Ebon Hawk crashing plays. And then Kreia has 2 more lines (I think) ending with "There is much to be done." and with that, I end up with a black screen, still able to move.

 

Anyone can help out, please?

 

P.S. Before you ask, here are the mods that I use:

 

Bao-Dur Jedi Robes

Blue UI TSL

Canonical Jedi Exile

Darth Bao-Maul

Fixed Mandalorian Banners

Force Fashion

Goto GenoHardan Fix

HK-47 melee/saber mod

jonathan7's New PC clothes

Malachor visions alteration

Mandalore Alteration

Nihilus-Tobin restored cutscene

Nihilus Lord Of Hunger

TSL New Loading Screens

TSL Un-Restored Content Final

USM (got the compatability patch)

Wound in the Force

 

P.S.S. Regarding the Carth on Sojourn cutscene, I used the Admirality mod and The Battle of Telos mod, I had them deleted, even reinstalled the game, but now I think that they weren't causing it.

"TSL Un-Restored Content Final." this is probably the problem since most of it's content is included in TSlRCM but done a litle diffrently. If you had the battle of Telos mod installed then removed that can cause the issue as well(it changes some appearences of people),Battle of Telos works fine just have to delete 222TEL.mod from your modules folder and install the battle mod.

"Nihilus-Tobin restored cutscene" don't use this eitjer as we have our own version included in TSLRCM it will cause problems.

I have the same issue as the second one that this guy here describes (my problem was never responded to, unfortunately, and I still don't know what to do to fix it). I get stuck in the Trayus core early, black-screen, and if I save and load the screen displays again, but I'm still stuck in the core. I can't get out by warping, because my console doesn't work. The only mods that I use that this guy uses are as follows:

 

Darth Bao-Maul

TSL New Loading Screens [i also had the patch of this one, but I deleted both after the errors started happening and nothing changed]

USM (got the compatability patch)

 

If I could get some help this time, perhaps with this guy's help track down the root of the problem (if it does come from a mod we're using), I'd be very appreciative.

Thank you very much for your quick response! I will re-install all mods + the game and leave out those.

 

Anyways, I encountered another issue, again probably caused by the Un-Restored Content mod. So, I warped to 901MAL to continue and went to the Academy. Once inside, the cutscene with the crew and Kreia was all good, except for the fact that another "sitting Kreia" was there the whole time, doing nothing. And after it concluded, I was inside, but there was no one inside, plus the doors couldn't be opened and I couldn't advance and so, I ended up on your forums again.

 

I will let you know if removing those mods fixed it for me.

 

Once again, thank you for the quick response!

That sounds bad mate, I will let you know if re-installing my game + excluding Un-Restored Content and Nihilus-Tobin cutscene mod fixed it for me.

USM (got the compatibility patch)

 

The one for 1.6, or the one for 1.5?

The second one gives issues for 1.6...

Hmm, I guess 1.5, since in kotorfiles the requirements are "TSLRCM1.5 and Ultimate Saber mod". Is there a 1.6 combatibility release?

 

Btw, regarding mine and LS2's Malachor issue, I re-installed both my game and all mods, this time I didn't add those that Stoney pointed out and still I get the same problem - once the cutscene ends, I load up to what seems to be a different module from 903MAL (at least I think so, because when it loads there is no screen and when I warped to 903MAL, there was a screen of the first room you come in). Maybe it's because of the 1.5 compatibility patch.. I sure as hell don't know anymore..

When you go to that black screen save the game and re-load. Are you in the Trayus core? If you talk to Kreia, she should talk as though you haven't gone to Dantooine yet. Sion should be stuck in a never-ending Force Choke animation.

 

If you have that, then we have the same issue.

Yep, did all that and it seems that we indeed share the same issue.

[Stoney 1,510]

One issue may be that your using the old save big changes went into 907MAL(which is the exact same as 903MAL it's where all the cutscenes take place). So once a module has loaded (the messed up one) it stays that way,it would be best to back up to a save before that module is ever used. I believe it's before boarding the Ravanger the first time the module is used is for Kreia's arrival on MalV cutscene.(which happens around there)or might be just before leaving the Ravanger(I can't remember for sure,the mind is the first thing to go)

I don't have a save before the Ravager, unfortunately, and as I cannot warp because of my bloody console not working I can't just start a new game and test it out or anything of the sort.

 

Could it be the compatibility patch for USM be causing it? I have that, and version 1.6 of the RCM.

Alright, I will check it out, good thing I have a save on Telos during the attack (to test out the Sojourn cutscene issue, which still presists).

[marsp 10]

Ok, so I started a new character and warped to 205TEL for the Carth conversation cutscene and to auto-travel to Malachor and get the cutscene with Kreia and Sion. And.. still bugged. :S I might try to re-install the game again and remove USM this time to see if it's because of it/the 1.5 compatibility patch. And if that doesn't work too, then I'll shoot myself!

[zbyl2 811]

Being stuck at Malachor is USM issue (it really isn't compatible with TSLRCM), some other people had it too. Try removing k_907_mal.ncs from override folder and reload save before getting stuck

[Stoney 1,510]

If you want drop this oldk_907_enter.ncs - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download

in your override folder and see if it fixes the issue (for USM patch)

[LS2 15]

I'll test it now, I have a save right before the issue happens. If it doesn't work, it could also just be because the module loaded before my save, right?

 

Anyway, if there are issues beyond this or this issue persists my best bet is to download the USM and then download the RCM on top of it, right? So then I'll get parts of the USM but most of it'll be gone, right?

 

 

EDIT: The issue persists for me. I suppose I should just wait for the USM compatibility for 1.6 to come out and then start a new game?

[Stoney 1,510]

Next step would be to delete k_907_enter.ncs completly from your override folder and try again. if that works then I have some more work to do on the patch.

I don't have that file.

 

Well, there's your problem.

[marsp 10]

I don't have that file.

Yup, I don't have it either.

[LS2 15]

Hate to bump this, but I can't even land on Malachor right now with this kind of issue. I need to know if we--marsp and me--can download k_907_enter.ncs and possibly have our error fixed, or if there's some other kind of option.

[Guest Kanthalas]

Bump

I've got TSLRCM 1.7 and the Compatibility patch 1.6 and up that's it and I'm having this exact problem.

 

*The problem of Malachor V going dark after the crash of the Ebon Hawk.

Edited December 1, 2010 by Kanthalas

[Guest VladKyle]

have the exact same problem as others here; TSLRCM 1.7 and USM compatability, game plays great until exit from ravager, goes to Malachor cutscenes, plays Traya talking to Sion, then 2 scenes of black w/dialog, plays Ebon Hawk Crash, then two more black w/dialog of Sion+Traya, then load black in Core (can save then load, talk to Traya about Dantooine)

 

Tried to locate K_907_enter, and did not exist (but oldk_907_enter did... removed to no effect)... tried placing k_907_enter from USM into Override, doesn't play Traya+Sion cutscene but loads right into core (no blackscreen) without them being there, but still with a 'stunt saber' as before (without USM k_907_enter) stuck in ground and with 'sith assassin 2' in two corners... going to try the warpband

Wondering if anyone is still looking into a viable fix?

 

Hope this might help; I had downloaded and used kse (save editor) to experiment with Handmaiden's stats back after first Telos run, and kse was working fine... once I ran into the Malachor blackscreen problem, having saved after the cutsceens for the reload to see if their was a way out, I tried opening kse again to perform the warp on the savegame, and it comes up with this error message:

 

"Attempted to read past end of end of dialog.tlk

(tried to read string 136370 but dialog.tlk has 136364 entries)

 

KotOR2 Spells.2da"

 

SO, because this only happened after I made a savegame after the Malachor Blackscreen, I'm thinking that's what the error message is about.... hope it provides insight into problem for those more knowledgeable than myself

 

I also have a savegame right before leaving the Ravager if anyone needs it

[Guest Erlynmyre]

I'm having this same issue, all my mods are from the compatibility list, except for usm, but I have the compatibility mod from this site, so... Please help, love both this and USM, they're the reason I reinstalled again to play after re-watching all the Star Wars films....

 

Update: Ok, I was able to get around this by manually warping to 901MAL, but still some weirdness. Played through Malacore surface fine, then the Depths, but when I entered the Treyas Academy, got the cutscene where Kreia tells Sion to bring the exile to her, but there were two of each of them, probably due to my warp short-circuiting some scripts... then, I got bounced back to the surface. When I got to the Depths again, I couldn't open the big doors where the storm creature was penned. Warped again to enter Academy, was able to complete the game, but never got the scene with Bao-Dur's remote, either because of warping issues, script glitches, or possibly because I didn't do the Telos fuel bonus mission, and Bao-Dur was dead. Not sure. Love to hear from somebody who knows more about modding than me on this, I used KotorTool, but got lost in about 5 seconds due to my complete noobness.

For those that tried to use KSE... I suggest you take a look at this:

http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/KOTOR_and_TSL_Save_Game_Editor_English_Language_Only;68852

 

read the last few sentences:

January 3, 2007

For Those Who Can't Open It: Just so you all know, if you can't open the KSE, I found out that if you have installed a mod that messed with the dialog.tlk and spells.2da file, and if you ever uninstalled your game and re-installed it, the KSE will not work in any game since you needed to make a back up of the dialog.tlk file. You will have to re-install your mods that modify the dialog.tlk file. The simple way of getting around it is to make sure that KSE can't read your override folder by renaming it temporarily or renaming your spells.2da file temporarily. Just do something to make sure that the spells.2da file is not being read by the KSE.

 

This may be the reason why I had so much trouble with my previous playthrough and had none for this one. Maybe this is the reason, but the only way you would know for sure is playing through the whole thing again... which I did with success!

[lordrevan555 10]

Guys, I had this problem too, what I did to fix it was that I uninstalled USM COMPLETELY! Then reinstall TSLRCM, and load the save before i went to Malachor. It really works.

 

EDIT: The reason that happens is because of a dialog file that USM uses that TSLRCM modded. I was too lazy to narrow it down to one but I just uninstalled the whole thing.
