BUG: Battle for Whiterun will not progress, I need help. : V

Hey guys and gals,

Long time lurker first time poster.

So, i am having some trouble with the mission "http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Message_to_Whiterun_%28Stormcloaks%29" on the StormCloaks side.

It is unfortunately not progressing with the mission once we enter Whiterun, it's like the battle is already finished, the attacking soldiers have dissapeared and everyone is going about their daily business.

Here you can see the quest >http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Battle_for_Whiterun_%28Stormcloaks%29#Quest_Stages<

*SPOILERS* (can't seem to find the spolier coding)

Battle for Whiterun (CWSiegeObj) Stage Journal Entry 1 Ulfric Stormcloak has ordered me to join Galmar Stone-Fist in taking the city of Whiterun. 8999 Cancels Quest. 9000 We have taken the city of Whiterun. Proving the righteousness of our cause and the fierceness of our warriors. Unknown

Objective 1000: Get your Orders from Galmar Stone-Fist

Objective 1005: Break through the Enemy Barricade

Objective 1015: Follow Galmar Stone-Fist

Objective 1020: Open the Exterior Gate

Objective 1030: Open the Drawbridge

Objective 1050: Enter Whiterun

Objective 1060: Break through the First Barricade

Objective 1070: Break through the Second Barricade

Objective 1080: Break through the Final Barricade

Objective 1200: Force Jarl Balgruuf the Greater to surrender

Objective 1210: Accept Jarl Balgruuf the Greater's surrender

The issue i am having is between:

Objective 1030: Open the Drawbridge

and
Objective 1050: Enter Whiterun

Not to mention these two are skipped on screen (maybe they happen behind the scenes or were deleted before release)

Objective 1015: Follow Galmar Stone-Fist

Objective 1020: Open the Exterior Gate

Essentially what is happening is that after dropping the drawbridge i get the completed drum roll and notification but... that's it. No next objective pops up.

I have:

Let Galmar Stone-Fist run into the city with every living Stormcloak
Made sure every enemy soldier outside is dead
Tried ResetQuest
Tried SetStage

The problem is that these aren't stages when you complete them, they are objectives and i have no idea how to add or force the next objective only stages and i can't find a guide.

I have plenty of mods but none of them really have anything to do with quests, just gameplay improvements and visual graphics, some few item adds but nothing that i thought would change the flow of a quest.
One concern might be the outstanding quests i have for people inside Whiterun?

Please feel free to post questions or request anything from me as i want to get this solved and not just skip the quest by forcing it's completion through the console.

Thanks for all and any help.

P.S. I'm in Australia so sorry if my reply is 8-17 hours later.
