Saul Karath Cutscene bug

[TheDude]

Heyo...

After everything I already did to be able to play this game and severyl more frustrating hours of replaying parts because of crashes and so on I'm now finally stuck again on a vital point of the game and cannot find any more answers on how to continue.

I tried to deinstall all mods, played it with only the vital mods... but nothing seems to help even if this was already working before.

The part I am stuck right now is the Saul Karath fight on the bridge of the leviathan which is already pretty hard to actually win in one piece but well after some tries I guess I mastered that pretty well.

So there I am, Karath is half dead lying on the floor and... nothing... no cutscene no possibility to talk to him, no response.

If any one has any knowledge or ideas on how to fix this issue I would be more than greatful, if not I guess I will quit playing Kotor once and for all, it has been just too much now and I cannot stand any further bug, glitch or issue caused by problems that will never be fixed.

Thanks already and I hope someone knows something. ;)

I ran into the same problem when I was testing out a mod. I checked and saw the area had general enemy character references, n_darkjedim001 and g_sithtroop003 to be exact. The files with those names in my override folder were from the Unknown Planet and Manaan respectively. I deleted those files and used the n_darkjedim001 and g_sithtroop003 files from the Leviathan area 40ad. I edited the Leviathan files and then put them in the override folder and that fixed it for me.

I'm having the same problem.
What mods do/did you have installed? We might be able to help each other.

To solve this issue I modded a file for myself. It broke the conversation but left the story intact so I could exit the bridge after the fight.
Anyway I saw the cutscene several times before I figured out how to resolve it and didn't mind.

The game afterwards runs completely normal and if you like I can provide you the file I created but it requires you to start from a point before you enter the bridge area, before you go out into the space part to run along the side of the ship.

Having the same problem can someone help?

I uploaded the Mod I created, please follow the instructions included in the .rar file and hope it helps you!

Sorry for reviving a dead thread, but I am desperate at the moment and I do not think that it is worth another thread: the mod in the link is supposed to make it possible to leave the bridge, but only by sacrificing the conversation? If that's the case then the problem remains!

There MUST be a way to fix the bug so it will run normally, INVOLVING the conversation.

P.S. shocked by the fact that there are very few reports of this bug, making it result with no method to fix it.

I have it too. So nobody can help? TheDude's link is not working. I spend too much time to start all over. Maybe there is a solution?

I experienced this bug, and because the file above isn't online anymore I recreated the fix, but with the same regression as the other one: the two dialogs with Saul are never played plus there are guards at the bridge that do not attack you. Contrariwise other guards spawn right away behind you after you entered the bridge.

This is clearly a side effect of my non existent Kotor modding skills, because I just copyed the endsequence trigger to the first dialog with Saul which was always triggered for me.

Place the file in your override folder. And don't forget to open the hangar doors at the computer on the bridge. ;)

All the links are dead . Can anybody upload it again please?

[Siete]

Sorry guys, it seems that my issue was related with a mod that was overwritten the lev40_riotlocker.utp and lev40_jolee.dlg files. After rename them, I managed to continue the game although the Karath fight didn't happened (the NPCs were non hostile).

[Doyle_138]

But you are right, some of the links are down. Here is another mirror: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i4e3r04jbyzba6g/lev40_saul402.dlg?dl=0

And dropbox should be permanent (at least I hope so).

[Siete]

I tried using the file but there is no difference in my case, the fight didn't happen again excepting by the soldiers which spawns behind.

Anyway, thanks so much for upload the file again, it could be helpful for other people with the same issue.

Man.......THANK YOU! Very, very, very, very, very, very much! 40 hours of play plus 2 days of modding and I was bear trapped on the leviathan. You fixed it for me...just did a clean install and restored my saves, which failed to resolve my issue, then I came across this thread, Without you my friend, my keyboard and at least one of my monitors would definitely be smashed. Thanks again for preventing my level 3 meltdown, you rock!

Did anyone develop a fix on this particular bug? Because it would be nice to view the cutscene and not to simply cut it out?

[Doyle_138]

I just recently learned of a mod named KotoR 1 restoration, and it mentions several fixes for Leviathan. It is possible that this includes a proper fix.

Has anyone ever found or made a fix for this, can't carry my game on.
