About This File
Bring a new Basilisk to the invasion of Onderon. Watch it wake in the Dxun hangar, storm Iziz in a replacement cinematic, and join the landing-zone battle as an allied war droid.
FEATURES
• Custom Basilisk model with an animated hangar reveal and boarding ramp.
• Replacement invasion cinematic covering space approach, atmospheric entry, anti-aircraft fire and a heavy landing.
• An allied Basilisk that fights alongside the player in Iziz.
• Shoulder turbolasers, heavy claw attacks, a shockwave slam and an airborne rapid-fire nose-gun barrage.
• Custom combat effects and sound.
• Two replacement Basilisk loading screens.
REQUIREMENTS AND COMPATIBILITY
Requires Windows x64 and a supported Steam Aspyr version of KOTOR II. Run the included compatibility check before installing. Other storefronts and executable versions are not currently supported.
Tested on clean Steam game data and an installation of the KOTOR II Full Build:
https://kotor.neocities.org/modding/mod_builds/k2/full
Install after your chosen mod build. Compatibility does not cover every optional mod selection. The English Queen Talia invasion route is tested; the Vaklu route has not been qualified.
The installer merges shared tables and story resources, preserves native party selection, and leaves saves and Steam Cloud settings unchanged. It replaces OndMov07.bik and the load_510OND/load_511OND loading screens.
See COMPATIBILITY.md for supported executable hashes, conflicts and testing limitations.
INSTALLATION
1. Close KOTOR II.
2. Extract the entire archive into a folder outside your game directory. Keep all included folders together.
3. Run Install Basilisk.exe and select the folder containing swkotor2.exe.
4. Click Check compatibility, review the result, then Install Basilisk.
5. Keep Steam running and launch the game using BasiliskLauncher.exe in your game folder.
6. Load a save from before Zuka’s invasion reveal and before first entering the Iziz invasion module.
Required runtime components are bundled. No separate Python or .NET installation or manual patch download is needed.
This package uses its own merge installer. Do not copy the payload into Override or install it through TSLPatcher.
UNINSTALL
Close the game, run Install Basilisk.exe, select the same game folder and choose Restore pre-install files.
Keep the BasiliskInstaller backup folder. Restoration will stop if another mod has subsequently changed a file, protecting those later changes. Return to a save made before installation.

What's New in Version 1.0.1 See changelog
Released
Loading-screen packaging correction
Removed the incorrect replacement of load_510OND, which depicts swoop racing.
The Iziz arrival screen now ships as load_511OND.tpc only; removed the redundant TGA.
Combat, cinematic media, story scripts and runtime patches are unchanged.
Upgrading from 1.0.0: Close KOTOR II and use Restore pre-install files in the installer before installing 1.0.1. Keep the BasiliskInstaller backup folder. This restores your previous loading screens, including any earlier texture mod. If restoration reports files modified by another mod, stop and request a targeted repair.
