Replacement Loading Screens for KotOR2: Original Pack (using Kexikus’ Skyboxes) 1.0.0

AUTHOR: Sith Holocron

ORIGINAL RELEASE: 28 FEB 2026

GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2

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

Description:

By (popular?) demand, I have provided updates to my Loading Screen mods to use Kexikus’ HQ skyboxes as a separate download. This only covers areas that are both an exterior location in the game AND have a view of the skyboxes in question. This limits the scope of the mod but it does make it small enough to be bundled up in one convenient package.

Besides the inclusion of the Kexikus’ skyboxes in the loading screens, most of the textures included in the game were upscaled by me.

List of the areas covered in this mod:

Installation:

First install parts 1, 2 and 3 of my Replacement Loading Screens for KotOR2: Original Pack (with or without TSLRCM) following their instructions. See the individual download pages for those instructions.

Replacement Loading Screens for KotOR2: Original Pack (with or without TSLRCM) - Part 1

Replacement Loading Screens for KotOR2: Original Pack (with or without TSLRCM) - Part 2

Replacement Loading Screens for KotOR2: Original Pack (with or without TSLRCM) - Part 3

Then drop the TGA files found in this mod’s folder into your Override folder. 

* The loading screen “load_301NARa.tga” is an alternate version of “load_301NARa.tga”.  If you wish to use the alternate version, delete the “a” from the alternate and put that texture into the Override rather than the original texture.

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 you’ll need to remove from your Override folder.

Special Thanks:

Thanks to Kexikus for creating his HQ Skyboxes which have enabled folks to hound me to include them in my loading screens for literal years.

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, NDreW-25, and Marius Fett for their input and technical expertise during the original mod’s conception.

And thanks to YOU for giving this monstrosity a whirl!  Won’t you leave feedback on the download page?  (I would like to see what I’ve done right, you see…)
