Visas Marr Never Appears

[sgtflumper]

I'm using the Restored Content and Droid Planet mods, and the first Visas cut-scene never triggers. I'm not sure if she'll never appear (which may break the game?) or if I can rely on the second trigger independent of alignment (if you have no alignment I think she'll show up after you've done a certain number of planets.) I let my DS points accumulate organically (no cut-scene,) but I've since manipulated them in the save game editor to LS and DS, and nothing triggers Visas's arrival. I've done Dantooine and half of Onderon now. I even re-set alignment to the point just before she should trigger, and nothing happened.

This appears to be a somewhat rare problem, considering how little I can find in discussion forums.

But I'm thinking the restored content mod gets too much praise, if it's causing bugs like this. A version of it I played several years ago was so badly balanced it was like nobody had ever even play-tested it before (I had to manually jack up stats in the save game editor just to face impossible opponents, especially in the HK factory--it was retarded.) I told myself I'd never install the thing again after that, but I succumbed to the unanimous acclaim again, thinking maybe they re-balanced/fixed it.

If anybody has any input/solutions let me know, halfway through the game so I'm loathe to keep playing and find out it's busted or restart.

Yup, all our fault, not due to savegame editing alignment at all :/.

If you edit alignment, it should take an ingame hit to actually make the game aware of the newly set values. So if you set it 0, then gain another DS point, the game should start to recognise your never values, and trigger the Visas cutscene (as can be seen in the G_PC_ values under numbers, rather than the DS/LS display value which is located differently in KSE). What are your Dark, light and alignment globals set as?

[sgtflumper]

Possible it's not the mods, the issue seems rare whatever the case is. Thanks for helping, though, didn't mean to insult the mods of the only people who understand how to help me. Bad strategy!

I didn't touch my LS/DS alignment before I realized Visas wasn't triggering. I even looked back through the save game editor to find precisely when I hit "37" (which I heard somebody quote as the trigger point,) and it was doing the evil Czerka quests on Telos, which is pretty normal timing.

I reset my alignment to 38 to try to re-trigger the cut-scene organically but it didn't seem to work (killed the stranded mandalorian, went from 38-34,) so right now:

Okay G_PC_Align val is 34.

PC_dark total is 33.

PC_light total is 9.

If there's a boolean or numeric I can trigger let me know. I just messed with those values now, I'll see if anything works.

[sgtflumper]

The scene just insta-triggered after messing with those values.

I will never besmirch the reputation of the Restoration mod again, thank-you.

[Hassat Hunter]

Yeah, as stated just changing alignment wont make the game accept it. It's why you can make yourself pure DS and still get a LS response.

37 is incorrect.
The proper values are 25 (50% DS) or 75 (50% LS).

So that explains that.
The total sum of alignment changes is 42. Which is 8 less than the second possible trigger (having 50 changes).

Having it only trigger with 3 masters is really REALLY unlikely.

What worked for me:
I went to Dxun, saved the game outside the Ebon Hawk. Then used the KSE, under Globals, Booleans set 003EBO_VISA_ARRIVES as 1. Then loaded the game up and entered the Ebon Hawk.

All you need to get Visas is, as Hassat explains, to get halfway from neutral to either full light or full dark. After that then the next time you return to the Ebon Hawk she will be waiting for you.

I usually find the cutscene with Nihilus occurs straight after leaving the Polar Academy on Telos. I then usually land on Dantooine and the next time I return to the Hawk, Visas is waiting for me.

Early versions of TSLRCM were very much work in progress. I've played multiple games using both TSLRCM and M4-78 in the last 5 years and never had a major problem nor have I ever needed to use KSE to fix something.

Also there is absolutely no opponent who cannot be defeated fairly easily as long as you go about it the right way. I play on the hardest difficulty with no particular problem. So if you find a situation you cannot win then look at your character builds and why you are encountering difficulty.

TSLRCM isn't perfect (sorry Hassat but the awful truth has to be said ;) :D , not everyone likes everything the mod does - then again I don't care what anyone else thinks, I do like it overall) but it is light years better than the original release.

I only ever had two issues that required the save editor to fix. The first, was that the ebb and hawk never went out of combat mode whenever there was combat inside of it. And the second is it vistas never arrived even after getting enough light side points to get a prestige class.
