    The whole point of XnView is to be a poor man's photoshop for batch image file transformations/format conversions. I'm not shitting on the tool -- it does what it does well. So, if you simply select a bunch of tga files and batch convert them as (again) tga files without giving it any transformation instructions then it's the SAME AS JUST COPYING THEM TO ANOTHER FOLDER. So what's the point of using XnView to install this at all? Nowhere in the instructions or comments does anyone say what transformations to use. Is it because some of the tga's are saved using RLE compression and kotor2 can't read them in that format (by default XnView doesn't compress tga's)? I'll test that... No, the game reads RLE compressed tga's just fine. Either XnView isn't needed or there's missing installation instructions for specifying the transformation. If it's a transformation, then it's the same transformation (like flipping them all 180 degrees) that needed to be applied to all the tga's, not just some... and I looked at some of them and they seemed OK to me. So it looks to me like XnView is entirely unnecessary -- just simply copying all the files from both archives into the override folder should work fine. If I don't update this post, then it worked fine for me doing it that way. Who knows... Maybe blank alpha channels need to be added to all the tga's if they're missing. I guess I'll find out.
