I'm well familiar with this site ;) I thought the crack would break the unofficial patch, so I never tried it. But if it works for you, I should try it as well. And yes, the level design in MotS is definitely sub-par. I thought that this was one of the best features in JK. According to Moby Games, the levels in MotS were indeed designed by an entirely different team.
Meanwhile, would you mind testing something little I made for JO? I redid the SP loading screens in hi-res:

Just drop the file in GameData\base. Could you tell me if it fixes the "white loading screen" (AKA no loading screen/progress bar) for you?
