I found an interesting little bug that really should not be happening. When I enter the first area on Dantooine outside of the Jedi Enclave the game crashes for no reason after a few minutes. I have tried this several times but to no avail, and I have done a couple of uninstalls followed by clean installs of both Kotor and the Mods. I have tried running the game on the lowest resolution and skin package, I have even set the game to run on compatibility mode of Window XP Service Pack 2. Same glitch, same bug. I’ve checked the saved game attached in BOSSR and that works fine. I’ve also checked everything in Taris up until that point, and it works flawlessly.

If anyone can help me with this problem or sees what could possibly be causing the conflict that would be most appreciated.
That's true for the original, not Best of the PC. Believe me I know I have both and have used both on Vista. Best of PC usually works flawlessly. When best of the PC was released it took Windows Vista into account when collecting the games and made the necessary changes. That's why when I check the hardware configuration everything is a go.
Nevermind, I figured it out. It was actually something very very strange. For some reason with the grass and shadows turned off the game crashes, with them turned on the game runs fine. Curious.
I'm sure its already been asked somewhere down the line, but thats quite a few pages of posts to scan through hoping i dont miss something, so here goes: is BoS:SR compatable with redhawke's mini expansions? the jawa imporium & ord mandell, in particular.

I must be missing something obvious, but I seem to be stuck. I wonder if anyone can help me through this one little spot:
Show spoiler
I'm in The Shadow's Bane (after opening the door the Mechanic was hiding behind by finding the codes and then interacting with the Artifact) and can't seem to figure out what I'm supposed to do next. I already had the brief encounter/fight with the Brother of Shadow after trying to talk to Daemon Drexl. Now, trying to talk to Drexl only results in a "[Silence]" dialog, and I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do next. I've run all over the seemingly endless white plane and have found no clue as to what to do next. In fact, the only thing I've found is Drexl.
Can anyone give me a small clue? I'm stumped. :P
Edit: Nevermind, disregard my last post. Turns out the reason I was having trouble was because the dialog/cutscene following the events I detailed didn't fire, leaving me stuck. :P It seems to be sorted now.

I like the sound of this mod. I always like mods that add stuff to Korriban. However, as much as I'd love to download it, my slow connection just can't handle the size of the download. Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but do you think you can make this a .rar file instead? I'd be able to handle that.

Hey, thanks for this awesome mod! Epic goodness. loving it thus far.
I have bug where I'm stuck.
Show spoiler
When playing Shadow on the Orion. I go to speak with the old captain. Thereafter the republic people are to invade because they want Shadow as prisoner. After finishing dialogue with the old captain, it seems to go to the battle (since I hear shooting) but the screen remains black as it doesn't fade back in.
I had patch 1.1 installed before I started the game on a fresh install on windows XP. And I did notice in the patch release notes:
'Fixes a bug where sometimes the screen would not fade in at the beginning of bos_orion2.mod.'
But I'm still having this problem (though I'm not sure if my problem is at the beginning or not). Reloading doesn't skip the bug. Is there anything I can do to bypass this point?
I'll game edit my way out if I have to, just not sure what to do.
Edit: Well, I got past it. I found the menu and saved in the midst of the blackout. Exited the game, then when I loaded the game the script started (where the guys where shooting each other) and everything worked.
Again, excellent mod thus far!

Well, I had a similar problem trying to run KotOR2 on my PC (which uses XP SP3). The game would crash upon load. In the end, I had to use the support on Lucasarts.com to find a solution (and it took some digging). What I found was that it helped to disable vertex buffers, and I have done this on both games, both of which run a lot smoother now. You might want to try this, it may or may not help (I'm not sure because the details are a little vague, as is the problem).
You have to access the swkotor configuration settings under "C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic\swkotor.ini" find the heading [Graphics Options] and add the following: Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1
Hopefully this helps, otherwise you may have another type of compatibility problem.

I'm in Korriban caves and trying to enter Korriban wastes, but the game doesnt load the level. Screen just fades to black, and i can move etc... I can hear walking sounds etc...
Is there some cheat or something to get to wastes?

Sounds like a problem I had. Try clicking in the corners of the screen until you can find the menu. Save the game. Exit the game (maybe reboot for good measure) then load the save.
I am having major problems with my KOTOR game right now. After several tests including seven re-installations. I have reduced that it is the BOS:SR that is causing my problem. My KotOR Game is crashing at random times. Sometimes the texures are all wierd looking, when I try to open the character screen (the screen with your attribute levels) it crashes. When I transit to another level, it crashes, when I enter a cutscene it crashes, if I play for two minutes without doing any of the above, it crashes anyway. I really need some help here.
~ I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
I'm having an issue, and I really think it os BOS:SR cauisng it. I'm on the Leviathan (sorry if this was brought up before) fighting Malak the second time. After I beat him, instead of Bastila charging in, it cuts to the talk you have with Carth and Bastila in deciding what party member will bust you out of prison...Afterwards, you're just stuck in the room.
I have a few other mods installed, and I would uninstall them all but BOS:SR, but at this point...SOme of the ones are the Bastila Inprovement mod, making her model look better while letting a feamale Revan romance her, teh Recruitable Kay mod that replaces Juhanni...I don't want to get rid of those after doing everything in the game that dealt with them. So is there anything I can do?
And I have used the patch, by the way, in case that had been an issue before...

Hmm... I tried everything yesterday, but now it worked like it should.
Oh well...
Edit: Aah... How I disable the forcefield in the mandalorian ship?
I've killed everyone on the ship and used the computer to unlock security doors, but the field is still there and one mandalorian behind it.

Guys, read the ReadMe's that come with the mods. Your problem is with Recruitable Kay. If you use the work-around that is enclosed with the mod (it's under the folder called bug fix) and replace the lev40_carth.dlg (It's a 14KB size file) with the one provided (which is 40KB) (be sure to keep the first one (the 40KB one), you will have to replace the one included with the mod (the 14KB file) with it again). Be sure to do this after the Leviathan, or you will reach another complication (at the end of the Unknown Planet, when you are about to leave for the Star Forge).
Also, consider this: it could not have been the BoS:SR mod because that takes effect after the Leviathan.

Thanks for the help...I'm sorry, I missed that going through the ReadMe's when I first downloaded the mods.
I have a problem in the Orion, when the captain send me to help sera degana, after founding the droid parts, i can't tell her anything about the droid parts, so I can't complete the mini quest...
Hi guys, sorry to make my first post something nagging, and probably obvious to mend, but I'm just getting a blank journal entry for the first quest ?
(finish Leviathan, nip off to Korriban, talk to Rodian chap = blank quest)
(I tried re-merging my globals and finishing the quest to see if it made any difference - it didn't of course)
I read that Recruitable Kay & BoS:SR work fine together - I merged their Global/journal files so that RK didn't suffer the blank-quest annoyance. (I've tried just using the BoS Global file, but then that just annoys RK too, and I get two blank journal entries).
The only other mods I'm using are a pair of Taris modules that I presume wouldn't interfere with BoS. (I had been using the Sharina Fizark thing, but that upset Kay, so off it went).
(RK & BoS:SR are fully patched up, and KoTOR is fully patched up too)
If it's just a case of sacking my current over-ride and starting with a fresh solo install of BoS, fair enough: I'd just like to keep Kay if it's possible - if there's a line or two I can edit with one of the tools etc.
I cannot find the Czerka Mining Facility on Korriban. I have searched the quarters thoroughly, but I cannot find a way to speak with the Leisure Officer.
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. Again, ideas?
Decided to play the game again with the mod as a Scoundrel/Guardian (Kyle Katarn's ancestor ), and I've noticed a few problems.
spoiler:
Whenever you have to defend the Ebon Hawk from Sith fighters (whether fleeing Taris, the Leviathan, or going from planet to planet), the battle is always the Taris fighter battle. Can this be fixed?
Also, I'm having trouble getting into the Korriban mines again. I accessed the door console, where one of the engineers described his clever solution to allow allow survivors to escape, and I've answered the questions at the Medical Room console, but can't find out how to proceed...
...Wait. someone else in the thread said you can get into the Maintainence Room by overloading a nearby conduit. I think I'll try that.

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.
Besides that, great work on the mod. I had a lot of fun playing all the earlier parts, hopefully you'll come out of retirement soon and make some sequels or other great mods like this.
Playing a new game and have gotten through the main BoS and SR storylines, and now I have some problems:
spoiler:
I've done all the Hutt's missions and such, and I've killed the leisure officer, but I there seems to be one room in the Civilian Section I can't get into. How do I do it.
I've also obtained the Czerka Mechanic's uniform, but the merchant still knows I'm not a Czerka employee. Will this affect my getting into the aforementioned room?

Is there anyway I can get his armor and sword? I really like how they look.
Edit: Nvm, I was able to get his sword by using the giveitem cheat, but when I spawned his armor, it just looked like regular civilian clothes. I finished BoS and SR, and it was really great! I had fun the whole time. Now im getting the last star map, and I feel so bored...

Could someone create a mod so you can recruit Shadow after she leaves because she was awesome... and I found the non-cannon footlocker or what ever its called...
Very nice job silver... I know you put a lot of effort into this mod and it shows.
I've a bit of an issue: I can't seem to download the full rar file off K-files. It could be something on my end, it might be something on their end, but... could someone e-mail me the file? PM me for my e-mail.

When your in Czerka's main level on korriban in the detention center where you have to kill nain for the Proffesional's quest or something like that. there is a trandosian hunter that when you talk to you get a quest to release him. I release him like a good boy that i am and then i talk to him and the czerka guys walk in and i kill them... i talk to him again they respawn and walk in and i slaughter them again.... you get my point. YAY INFINITE LOOPS!!!! not really. So is there anything that i could do to end that quest. the last time i walked out after i hit side with czerka because i was getting p@#$ed off at the game.

I am experiencing a very weird glitch. I have just unlocked the Storage Room where "Mechanic" is. I fight some of the Brotherhood of Shadow and when I get to Mechanic and try to talk to him nothing happens. I ran about the entire ship, Orion, and back and forth to see if I still needed to fight some Brotherhood of Shadow and still nothing happened. I went back to the Storage Room where the Artifact was and tried to use it but nothing happens again. I have never experienced this glitch before. Anyone know whats going on.

Hi all. My game always crash after my game is loading when I click on New Game button. That cheated "try save" works fine for me. I m not running any other mods and my game worked fine before installing BoSSR. Anyone knows how to help me?
ugh, okay tried out BOS, GREAT MOD, however with Solomon's Revenge, it bugs out after the cutscene of Shadow appearing on the Orion, like when she says she will be called Sera Degana. Then it blacks out, sits for a minute, and then says: "KotOR has encountered an error and needs to close, we are sorry for the inconvenience." I run an XP SP3 OS, not Vista. If you need more information, contact me.
I'm having an issue, and I really think it os BOS:SR cauisng it. I'm on the Leviathan (sorry if this was brought up before) fighting Malak the second time. After I beat him, instead of Bastila charging in, it cuts to the talk you have with Carth and Bastila in deciding what party member will bust you out of prison...Afterwards, you're just stuck in the room.
I have a few other mods installed, and I would uninstall them all but BOS:SR, but at this point...SOme of the ones are the Bastila Inprovement mod, making her model look better while letting a feamale Revan romance her, teh Recruitable Kay mod that replaces Juhanni...I don't want to get rid of those after doing everything in the game that dealt with them. So is there anything I can do?
And I have used the patch, by the way, in case that had been an issue before...
I had this exact same issue and I had the same mods installed. I figured there was a conflict in them, especially with the Yavin 4 mod. At the time I had quite a few mods installed, Recruitable Kay, Yavin 4 mod, Bastila Improvement Mod, Bastila Romance mod (lol), BOS:SR and it's patch, Malehead Pack, Longsaber mod, featgain and fpgain by shem (I don't think those cause any issues, though...) and lastly I was using the "Lost Sith on a Lost Planet" mod. I just kind of threw them all in my override, so i'm lucky I even got to the Leviathan.
So I deleted my override and reinstalled BOS:SR and it's 1.1 patch, and I attempted to the save to see if it works. When I try to go to the white box on the planet map on the Ebon Hawk it lets me fly there, but when I make it to that place and try to leave the Ebon Hawk I get a black screen but I can still move around and I can still open up my menu.
I have the Best of PC SW collection and my computer is an XP with a good enough system to run the game on a higher detail.
So my immediate question is how I can fix that black-screen problem. Also I installed with the TSL patcher, with the patch, when prompted to replace the files on extraction I choose "Replace all" and then installed it with TSL. I have looked around a bit and I think that may be my problem, however I can't find anything else on that.
So my secondary question, is it possible to run these mods all at once or will I have a conflict? I want to have...
Yavin 4 mod
BOS:SR
A lost Sith in a Nameless Planet (don't think this will cause any problems as it never prompts me to replace anything even after putting it in my override)
Recruitable Kay
Everything else is small stuff like the Bastila Improvement Mod, but I am not including the Bastila Romance Mod. I don't really like it, adds too much unvoiced dialouge.
Personally, I can do without the Yavin 4 mod because all the items that come from it are overpowered. But it would still be nice to have.
But before I figure out any of that I need to get BOS:SR to work!
I have just downloaded BOSSR with all the patches from 1.1-1.7 and i still get the black screen, i tryed saving it wile the screen was black but then it just went back to the character selection i picked who i wanted (Jolee, Juhani) and then it went straight black to the black screen. Plz help i really want to play BOSSR. btw i am using the saved game that comes with the patch
