About This File

AUTHOR: Sith Holocron

ORIGINAL RELEASE: 17 APR 2018

UPDATED RELEASE: 23 MAR 2019

UPDATED RELEASE: 27 AUG 2019

GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2. [This mod will not work in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1.]

 

Description:
------------------

 

Were you ever dissatisfied with the low-resolution loading screens when the in-game footage looks so much better? What if there was a mod that took care of that for you? Psssst…it’s this mod!

 

This version of the mod covers the loading screens for the following mods: Azgath N'Dul's Tomb, Coruscant Jedi Temple, Curse of the Sith, Korriban Expansion, and the M4-78 Enhancement Project.   If you’re looking for the loading screens that cover the areas in the normal “vanilla” game and the areas added by TSLRCM, seek out the “Replacement Loading Screens for KotOR2: Original Pack” which is also available on Deadly Stream. The texture size is 2048 by 2048 so you'll have a large sized picture for each.

Installation:
----------------

 

Drop the TGA files and loadscreen.2da into your Override folder. As M4-78 Enhancement Project includes its own TGA files, you’ll have to allow my TGAs to overwrite the TGAs already there in the Override folder.

 

Uninstall:
-------------

 

If for any reason, you don’t like one (or more) of the loading screens, consult the list above so you can determine which TGA file/s you will need to remove from your Override folder.

 

To completely remove the loading screens, delete all the above listed TGA files.

 

Recommendations for Coruscant TGA’s:
----------------------------------------------------------

 

This section won’t tell you how to install Coruscant Jedi Temple, or how fix compatibility issues with other mods. However, if you use the Jedi Temple Expansion (3.0) mod by HK-42, please install his mod first - before you put the relevant Coruscant TGAs from my mod in the Override. Allow the following files to overwrite the pre-existing ones: load_952cor.tga, load_953cor.tga, and load_954cor.tga.

I hereby state that I specifically do NOT wish this mod to be uploaded to Steam Workshop. I may release this on NexusMods at a later date but I don't wish others to do so. Usage in other mods must be requested and approved by me before your use.

@ndix UR and/or @newbiemodder have permission to include the Korriban Expansion loading screens in their mod if they wish.  Attribution is requested.

 

Special Thanks:
-----------------------
@ndix UR for his wonderful Loading Screen Template which enabled me to offer these loading screens in a format resembling the original loading screens for you all.

 

Thanks to @DarthParametric, @JCarter426, @N-DReW25, and @Marius Fett for their input and technical expertise. If you want to have your War Droid utilize the textures from Sithspecter's High Quality blasters, be sure to use the fix for the model created by @DarthParametric which you can find here.

Thanks to @timurD2003 for testing the 23MAR2019 update to this mod.

 

And thanks to YOU for giving this mod a chance! Won’t you leave feedback on the download page? (I'd like to see what I’ve done right, you see. That's not too needy, right?)

Note:

Compatible with VarsityPuppet's TOR Style Loading Screens 1.0

Video Preview:
----------------------

 

If you'd like a preview of all of the loading screens, check out this video below. It does show the screens without the filter and the black bars but it give you an idea what you'll be working with before you download. I recommend watching the video maximized.

oh goodness.

Such a fantastic (another) upload SH. Always short of words to thank you enough ... always    ;)

 

but wait ... so,  load_713KOR.tga  goes for  AzgathN'Dul's Tomb  aswell ?? 

cos i dont see a 713KOR module file in my /modules folder, and don't recall right now if there was an antechamber there?? (in Azgath's Dul's tomb mod)

 

just tried the Coruscant chamber loading screen. Amazing piece, now visiting Coruscant worths my exile's time with this scenery both when landing and within the Chambers. Same awesome view !!! well thought indeed ....

 

i also notice a tweaked water fountain in load_952COR , now without the water fallings and with a more extensive view towards the top of the ceiling. Interesting ... 

(well that's the difference respect to my previous  load_952COR tga  at least which is from .... ehhh...

which is from eh.... )   

 

thanks, rated already.

regarding to M4-78 ones, PURE awesomeness screens. 

 

wish i was able (had time/will) to make that one compatible with all my Override/Modules stuff ...     :(

 

question there about M4-78 EP although not the best place to ask... now there is playable content there correct?

TSLRCM required for installation? 

 

have a good one.

I don't understand this question so you may wish to ask Hassat Hunter about it. I am not part of the M4-78 official team and therefore, I should not be answering troubleshooting questions about M4-78 EP.

 

M4-78 EP is compatible with TSLRCM and it always has been.

Hello there! Quick question - I noticed that the loadscreens.2da file in this pack is a slightly different size compared to the same file in your other replacement loading screen packs. If I am using all of the packs, does it matter which loadscreens.2da file I'm putting in my override folder? Thanks in advance for your reply!

If you're using the loading screens from this pack, then you want the updated loadscreens.2da. More entries in the .2da therefore a larger .2da. This .2da also includes all of the entries from the main pack.
