Shadow is having a flashback after talking to her younger self on the bridge of the mining cave on Korriban. I have gotten onto the Republic ship and gotten to fighting Telana (or whatever the jedi's name is).

 

Problem is I cannot defeat her. I run over to the weapons container and take the weapons and equip the double bladed sword, and then run over to the backpack and take the stims and armband. I use the shield and then try and fight Telana, but I still die too easily. How am I supposed to win this fight?

[ZimmMaster]

First of all, this is a GREAT mod, definetly one of the best ever in KOTOR story. The dialogue is perfect and the story fits very well in the original storyline.

I have a problem though.

I've played through BS with no problem. Started SR, everything went smooth until i ended up on the Korriban mining tunnels. There, i don't know why, or how, i cannot enter all 3 camps, the game crashes immediately. Also, in some areas the game breaks a lot, when i kill certain miners, the game sometimes crashes... I managed to proceed by walking straight forward to the bridge, it solved it. But if someone could help, i would appreciate it

I installed everything fine, no errors... I just don't know what's wrong.

 

Same thing happens to me. But in several other instances in this mod as well.

If you have exhausted all options use the invincibility cheat.

Thanks, though I actually got it. It think I just had to get lucky enough to not be stasis-ed right at the beginning and then I was able to get a weapon and use the shield/the stimpacks quickly enough.

 

Sorry for the double post; I am having another issue, this time causing the game to crash.

I am on the Rakata temple fighting my followers and Sin, so same drill as before I kill everyone but Sin first, then I can get him. That is fine. When I kill HK-47 though the game crashes. It just freezes as soon as he looses all his HP.

 

Any possible suggestions on what is causing this? I don't think I have any mods that effect HK-47, only WOTOR as far as I know.

I have a problem though.

Ditto. Something going wrong in there. No other mods beyond skins installed, not too much spammy cheating... this must be a mod-induced issue. I have been tempted to do the same solution, Darth Crados, but have been too stubborn thus far, trying to approach it different ways with many saves. In all my various tests, I crash every time unless I go up the middle. Approaching from front or back makes no difference, crash occurs due to proximity, which I would think is a broken trigger or waypoint.

[jrs90]

I have an installation problem. It worked fine on my laptop but when installing on my desktop it says specified 2da file is not in binary form, format is unhandled at this time, unable to load.

[Aquilas]

First of all, I apologize immediately if this is a redundant post.

 

I've been thru all 16 pages of this thread, and I saw this problem reported, but I haven't been able to find the fix: my game crashes as Shadow leaves the Enclave on Dantooine. Black screen, then crash. Tried reloading several autosaves, and restarted game, even rebooted the machine: no success.

 

I have BastiFix, Shem's student clothing mod and DJ's improved female robes mod installed. That's all. Any problems reported with those? Do I need to do a complete reinstall, with clean override? If I do, can I use my last autosave, or do I have to replay the entire game?

 

Did I miss the fix posted here? Again, I apologize. Thanks for any help you can provide.

 

Addendum: Yes, I already cleared the Override folder and did a fresh install, BoSSR only. No other mod data in Override. I did not clear the Modules folder. I'm running Windows XP SP3, ATI X700 card, legacy Realtek sound card on Sony VGN AX-580G notebook motherboard.

 

Addendum 2: Cleared the Modules and Override folders. Reinstalled mod and patch. Loaded Autosave at beginning of duel between Shadow and friend. Cutscene ends as Shadow leaves Enclave: no crash, but screen still black. Could hear background hum. Moved cursor over menu items, power/item selection, char portrait, etc.: labels displayed. Clicked Portrait, Inventory, Map, Options etc.: screens displayed. Set Graphics options to Default and set screen resolution to 800x600--voila, video displayed. Reset Graphics options to higher levels and then saved game (not quicksave). Loaded Save: normal video ops. I have no clue as to why this worked. But it did.

[Qui-Gon Glenn]

^^^ Your old save probably contains the problem, unfortunately. It holds the conflicting old mod stuff in its memories, which is then an invalid save state in your current, clean, configuration.

 

This is not a definite. It is likely though.

[darth trea]

it has never worked for my mac people say that its because of the modules being costom because they wont download but another mod (the temple mod beta) is also costom and it works on my mac the module files download on that but not for bossr pls hlp:mad:

[Doctor-Hal]

Hello darth trea,

 

Before continuing I would suggest that you refrain from using chat speak in your posts. I would also suggest fleshing out your question and adding some detail: the more people know the better chance someone might be able to help you out.

 

Dr. Hal

[darth trea]

ok thank you and my problem is that i can't download the modules in the folder i heard people say that it is because they are custom and i have a mac so the modules won't download

[Jake71887]

My problem is one of game progression. This is what happens:

 

I am at the part where

you must engage in multiple fights with Akirakon Sin.

I am at the one where

he is flanked by six Mandalorians on Mandalore the Ultimate's flagship at Malachor V.

It works fine for a couple of seconds, but the issue occurs when I

manage to kill one of the Mandalorians.

I believe that they're supposed to die via the fadeout effect, and such has produced no problems up to this point, but when it comes to them, it causes my game to freeze, and I am forced to use the Esc key to exit the game. This is, of course, a pressing issue because I apparently

Show spoiler

(hidden content - requires Javascript to show)

cannot do any damage to Akirakon Sin without defeating the Mandalorians first.

 

I am also having this same problem, though I only have a couple other mods installed... Has anyone else encountered this and possibly found a workaround not involving reinstalling everything?

[Crossfell]

Playing through the mod for the first time and loving it! Up to now that is. Just dispatched the three Jedi Masters in Dantooine (I hate Vrook!) without much problem. Then die in one turn when surrounded by about 10 Brotherhood of Shadow brethern. First round typically has my character taking 140 points. Dead before second round is completed.

 

Suggestions?

[EGJason]

Just try again. Really, that is the only option. That or turn down your difficulty, and try healing between attacks.

[Qui-Gon Glenn]

As that combat round begins, pause your game in-between combat rounds, and you can then use an item like shield, medpac, or stim and have it apply immediately. This is how Kirk really beat the Kobayashi Maru.

[darth trea]

please can someone make a file that will allow BOS SR work on mac

[Rinku]

I think someone did a mac conversion...But if you are on an intel mac you can install using a program like crossover.

 

But first let me look for the "Mac" version.

 

EDIT:I found it. Now I never have actually played through with the "mac version" of BoS so I can not guarantee anything.

 

But you might try it cause I have had friends use it and say it has worked. So good luck

 

Yes, it can be done: with a bit of tinkering.

The problem with running BoS is some of the file formats won't work with the Mac version of the game. So I'll try to describe what I did to get it running; installing follows the manual install directions except for the following:

 

The .bik movies have to be converted to Quicktime .mov format in order to play properly. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the only way to convert them out of .bik format is with Rad Tools Bink Converter (Windows only, I'm afraid). Once converted to .avi format, Quicktime can easily open and save the files to the .mov format. Then they go into the movies folder.

 

The mp3 files won't play unless you change the extension name to .wav. DO NOT convert the files to wav format - they won't work. Then they go into streammusic and streamwaves as per installation instructions.

 

The next tricky part is installing the 1.1 patch (which you really need). Since TSLPatcher doesn't work on Mac OS, it''s got to be done manually. The following files go in your override folder:

 

astro.dlg

bos_shabat.utp

bos_channa2.dlg

bos_shabat2.ncs

bos_czerkadoor2.ncs

bos_shabat2.utp

bos_czerkadoor4.ncs

cir_dancejournzl.ncs

bos_haryar.ncs

cir_onenter.ncs

bos_haryar2.ncs

end.dlg

bos_kob2.dlg

end2.dlg

bos_liftthing2b.ncs

matilda.dlg

bos_liftthing2z.ncs

orn_fadein.ncs

bos_mainliftb.ncs

sales_person.dlg

bos_mandaxe.uti

sith_saberz.ncs

bos_mandaxe2.uti

tem_blatrig3.dlg

bos_plotkey.uti

tem_channawake.ncs

bos_shabat.ncs

tem_unequip.ncs

 

 

Ignore the other files in the tslpatchdata folder; they are source files and files used by TSLPatcher to patch modules. Since TSLPatcher isn't an option; you need another way to get the modules patched. What I did, was copy the patched files from the modules folder in the Windows version. (I was lazy and let TSLPatcher do the work.) You need copies of the following 21 mod files to drop into the Modules folder on your Mac:

 

bos_bridge.mod

bos_circle.mod

bos_czerka.mod

bos_czerka2.mod

bos_czerka4.mod

bos_orion2.mod

bos_taris.mod

bos_tem3.mod

bos_sewers.mod

bos_sintem.mod

bos_stage1.mod

bos_stage2.mod

bos_stage3.mod

bos_stage4.mod

bos_wastes2.mod

bos_wastes4.mod

ship.mod

ship4.mod

ship5.mod

vision1.mod

vision3.mod

 

System Notes: If your system is just meeting the minimum requirements for KOTOR, you are going to have some trouble. There are some pretty graphics intense sections, turning your graphics options all the way down may help. I did most of my playing on a PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz, 512 Mb Ram, ATI Radeon 9700 Mobility w/ 64 MB vram. Increasing the ram to 1Gb helped a wee bit, but this system did have some problems with audio and with some lagging in the really busy scenarios. On a Power Mac G5 2.0 GHz dual core PPC, 2.5 GB Ram, Nvidia 6600 LE w/ 128Mb vram, the mod ran a whole lot smoother. But I still had to turn down the graphics in a few areas. I suspect that a better graphics card and a sound card should eliminate the problems. I don't know about Intel Macs, but jeb2104 is going to try it out. If you have problems, PM me and I'll be glad to try and help. Also, any improvements from other Mac folks would be great.

 

That's all you need; time to enjoy! Laar Dha

 

If you don't want to fix up the files yourself, I've put them all together for you. Here is the link for now:

Or use force wave and slice them up while they are stunned.

Suggestions?

 

Focus your attack on the real Shadow. Watch the scene where Shadow replicates himself and keep an eye on the real one. Once the battle starts, attack the real one and once you kill him, the others dissapate as well.

[darth trea]

thank you so much im gonna test it and ill tell you if there are any problems

ps. can you do the same for recrutable kay for me i only have macs at my house so i cant convert you dont have to though

[Rinku]

I'll check the thread and tell you if there is a "mac conversion" (via PM)

[darth trea]

thanks

bugs so far, i cant talk to the merchant she doesnt apear can you help me with that and tell me what to do i would love it.

i found the kay mac version nvm about that

[bryzz]

i want to gather a few modders to make a mod that replaces all of the ranged weapon models in K1 but i noticed that you all added at least one ranged weapon in this mod and to not mess anything up by changing the model im asking if the ranged weapons in this mod use there own textures different then those original textures

[Seikan]

There is not any custom ranged weapon, in the mod, at least not one that change any skin, or whatever.

[darth trea]

hey can someone send me copies of ALL the modules because i dont have all of them

 

Edit: and in what module do u recruit the girl twelik

[GeorgNihilus]

Hey guys. I encountered a problem in the mod.

When Shadow[Matilda] passes out in the tunnels on Korriban's catacombs under the czerka residential module and she goes into her first-time-on-Orion flash back, as soon as she is done talking to the Arkanian guy after he says he will give her her a tour,

the game crashes. The game crashes at this point every time it seems. I have the Revan robes with the flowing cape fix but I don't see how it would affect that section of code. Maybe it will, but its odd. I didn't update the game before installation of the mod, is that what is causing it? In my game Shadow's sith uniform has the wrong mdoel strangely..that might be the cause. ideas?

 

I am having a similar problem, although my screen just stays black and I can access the menu shortcuts in the top right of the screen (even though they are not visible). The only mods I have installed are Make Carth/Mission a Jedi by RedHawke, the robes from 90SK, and Super Skip Taris. When I try loading from another part of the game, screen stays black as well, but I can still hear dialogue and other noises like gun shots, footsteps, etc. I have the BoSSR patch, but not the KOTOR game patch.

I can't get through this point either, right after talking to Kobayashi at the Orion, a crash to desktop there. And I'm not wearing Revan robes when playing this dialog.

Thing is crash happens while executing script orn_chara in my case, this script has lines like these which I'm not sure exactly what they do:

 

TAR_StripCharacter(GetFirstPC(), GetObjectByTag("bos_storage"));

DelayCommand(0.5,ExecuteScript("orn_equip", oArea));

the fade-outs in that dialog seem to play ok before reaching this script and crashing to desktop ... strange considering I've reached this point without a crash to desktop ... only 1 delay once.

 

any ideas??
