Onderon Throne Room Dark Side Bug

[Zhaboka]

So I've just killed Master Kavar in the Throne Room on Onderon, and after it shows the cinematic with the Exile using his purple-beam-of-doom thing to drain Kavar of the Force, I regain control of the Exile, the "Lost Jedi" quest updates to tell me I defeated Kavar, and Kavar's body yields remains. Simultaneously, Talia and Vaklu, who up until this point had been dueling with swords, stop fighting. I can then walk around the whole module without any cutscenes triggering, take Kavar's remains, etc. Invisible remains appear at Talia's feet, and when I try to loot them they contain the "Durasteel Bonding Alloy" item from K1 (I've found this in other places throughout this run-through of the game, usually symptomatic of cutscene bugs). None of the NPCs will talk to me, and I can't advance the "Royal Deadline" quest because Talia and Vaklu have become inactive. This essentially leaves me stuck.

 

Any help? Major mods installed:

TSLRCM 1.8.2

M4-78EP 1.0

Full Force Mod

Heavy Armor Expansion Mod 2.0 (90SK)

It sounds like a script that's supposed to fire after Kavar is killed isnt working properly. I'll take a look at the files and get back to you.

[Zhaboka]

Indeed. Thank you!

[Fallen Guardian]

All right, I'm a bit stumped as it appears as though a script called k_post_master is supposed to be playing, but there is no such script in the module. Thus, I asked if Hassat Hunter could take a look at your problem, seeing as he's pretty much an expert on KotOR II.

[Hassat Hunter]

Do you have Kreia there?

[Zhaboka]

No; I took Mandalore and HK-47 with me to Onderon in the Basilisk. Kavar walks out, says "This ends here, Vaklu!", stuns the soldiers, and then has his I-won't-answer-your-questions dialogue with the Exile. As soon as he and the PC begin to fight, Mandalore and HK disappear from my party and I'm fighting him solo.

That's probably the issue. Kreia's appearance on Onderon is vital, and normally you don't have a choice in not taking her.

[Zhaboka]

Yeah, I thought it was odd that I was given a choice. I thought it was supposed to be hard-wired Mandalore and Kreia. Is that a 1.8.2 thing or is another mod screwing that up?

[Hassat Hunter]

It's probably my "Kreia to Dxun Tomb/Atton to Onderon" mod?

If so it should work. I'll have to check if 506OND has an invis_kreia placable. Maybe they figured since Kreia was always there is wasn't needed so didn't add one. Hadn't really thought of that till now...

[Zhaboka]

I believe I installed that, yes.

 

EDIT: Just played through it again with Kreia and Mandalore in my party this time. Got the same glitch. The party disappears soon after I begin to fight Kavar, and then after he dies nothing happens.

 

This time around I noticed that if I don't loot his remains, Talia and Vaklu keep fighting, but once I do, they stop. Don't know if that means anything.

[Hassat Hunter]

So, not my mod... phfew

 

What other mods *do* you have? Since the OP seems incomplete?

[Zhaboka]

TSL Blue Interface (Wesley)

Kreia's Assorted Robes (I know the compatibility thread red-flagged this one, but I've never had major problems with it)

HK-47 Upgrade (Darth Cryptic)

Lightsaber Blade Replacement (Marius Fett)

Invisible Headgear (Shem)

No Force Power Restrictions (MrPhil)

Warp Band (Lit Ridl)

 

And a bunch of other very minor appearence/items mods, none of which affect Kavar's gear.

[Zhaboka]

Am I doomed to a re-install?

[Hassat Hunter]

Is this your last planet? Did you kill Vash, Vrook and Zez-Kai Ell before?

But yeah, pretty much have no idea what's going on...

[Zhaboka]

Last planet with all other masters dead, yes. I'll try to be a little more selective with my mods next time.

[Hassat Hunter]

It might actually be a bug with M4-78EP I think :/

 

If you have KSE could you save after Kavar and see how many masters are dead (000_Jedi_Dead). Is it on 4?

[Zhaboka]

Ooops! I re-installed. Sorry. Save games eliminated. I'll install all the same mods and get try to get to that point again, though, if you want me to.

[Hassat Hunter]

Not really needed, I'll check myself if killing Vash increments said global.

Hope your next playthrough doesn't break like this...

[Zhaboka]

Thanks for your help and good luck with that. Me, too.
