Cutscene NPCs standing instead of sitting

[ZanderNao]

I was playing around with the Jedi Outcast for Jedi Academy mod, replacing the main characters for my machinima. While I succeeded in replacing them for the cutscene where the Raven's Claw is going to Kejim, the characters were standing instead of sitting. They spoke at the appropriate times (from what I could see of their chins moving, their heads were mostly out of frame). The only thing I changed was which player model was being accessed. Does anyone have a clue on what I can tweak or adjust?

The following were the conditions I used:
OpenJK single player
Jedi Outcast for Jedi Academy

1 custom character, 1 Jedi Human base game custom replaced in the cutscene NPC file.

 

I also tried changing the base game npcs, but that didn't stick.
