KOTOR 1 Star Forge, after first malak cutscene STUCK.

[Agiselus 0]

I am stuck after the first scene of Malak, and the scene doesn't trigger, so the assault droids don't move from their positions, so I can't advance.

I need help with this. One person in one thread pointed out that it was some kind of texture problem or skin problem with Malak. I have this mod installed > https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/1282

I tried erasing from the override folder every archive named Malak, but even doing that, I cannot advance.

I had found two threads in steam talking about this bug.

1 > https://steamcommunity.com/app/32370/discussions/0/613958868365320196/

2 > https://steamcommunity.com/app/32370/discussions/0/540734254912017117/

Please help - I have played all the game, and now I cannot finish it.

Have you tried using a different previous save file?

If any one else has any suggestions, please chime in as I'm about to start work.

Having the links listed was requested for a reason...

I can see that you're using these three mods together: 

K1R, Kotor Community Patch + NPC Overhaul Mod. 

This could cause an issue if the modules .MOD file wasn't manually edited for the changes. Both K1R and NPC Overhaul mod don't manually edit certain files within a .MOD file they both literally replace whatever .MOD file is in the Modules folder at the time. 

I can also see you have a file called "Some Mods.7z", what are the mods in that file?

Yeep i tried since the temple and confrontation with Bastila, with no success.

I am playing now the Kotor 2 and have some similar issue with Nihilus and have to erase this file """" n_darthnihilu001.utc """ to Fix the CTD i was having with the first cutscene from Visas and The Darth Lord Nihilus.

Dont know what do the UTC files do, but i think its some skeleton or animation file because didnt let Nihilus move at all, and when i erased it, He moved.

So i think the problem goes arroud that kind of thing, some animation file doesnt let move Malak or the Sith that appears in the cutscene and the game simply aborts the scene.

I was having the same problem, first cutscene with Malak on the Star Forge, It played only a second or two, no dialogue, then there were non aggressive battle droids just within the next sets of doors. Other battle droids that came up were aggressive, but had a hard time getting around the first ones that just sat there. Beyond the next set of doors was the second Sith and 
Jedi battle- with Darth Malak just standing there reacting to nothing.

So I went through all of the mods I had installed, and narrowed the problem to one:

The n_sithappren001.utc amd n_sithappren002.utc was interfering with the cutscene. Perhaps the Sith apprentices on the Star Forge have the same file names. Easy solution, just remember to delete the two files before going to the Star Forge.

I would look for .utc files, especially any that might be associated with the Star Forge in some way. I have a Malak retex and that doesn't cause any problems.
