- Replaced Jedi Hunter Starkiller's soundset with SCIV version

USER INTERFACE COMEBACK:

That's right folks, the Peneke dudes missed having awesome features like the Music menu, Authentic Hilts, and network optimization,
so we took the time to add those menus back as their own UI preset in UI Layouts! There's a lot to explain about this UI update,
so we'll talk about the main menu updates first!

The main menu now has a new Mandalorian show themed background, and we removed the character preview so that you can have more room
to view the nice backgrounds featured in the other menus! For nostalgic purposes, we've readded a few old but gold to the Peneke family
menu backgrounds featured in Peneke Pack versions of old. The Kylo Ren cursor has also returned!

Next up to be featured is the Music Menu overhaul! We too missed being able to select whatever music you want during rounds, so we decided
to completely re-do the menus from the ground up, now the music is organized into six tabs; Official for official MB2 map music,
CMP for community map pack music, MGMP for movie game mappack music, uMad for uMad mappack music, Peneke for music that suits
our and hopefully your tastes too, and the Custom music tab! The peneke music easter egg is also featured somewhere in these menus,
so all of our users can have fun finding it again!

How does the custom music feature work? Well this is the ability for you to add your own music to play in-game! To make use of it,
make a new folder in your MBII mod folder named "music" without the quotations. Then add an mp3 or wav file of your choice,
preferrably mp3 format, into the folder, with the name "usertheme#", with # being a number going from 1-50, meaning you can have
up to 50 custom music tracks in-game! The number you put in place of # with 1-50 will be the same number corresponding with the user track option in-game.
It needs to be noted that before doing so, make sure that the mp3 or wav is exported with the project rate at 44100 HZ, exported in Stereo,
that's the minimum requirement for making your music work in MBII.

Our next great UI comeback is the restoration of authentic hilts! This has been added into vanilla MB2 alongside the new class menus,
and the Peneke Jedi/Sith roster has been made compatible with this feature!

The last thing to mention is the optimize button, for all our users with network issues, we have restored the old Peneke network optimization menu,
which we've even done bonus fixes for to make the bounding boxes (the areas that you can click) properly scaled with the options so that you aren't
selecting options from seemingly invisible spaces anymore.

I can't stress this enough, make sure to remove older versions of the Penekepack or non-official Peneke Addons before updating, if you don't do that, you'll experience crashes and different kind of bugs!

Hi, Penekowski speaking!

Because of the assistance, teachings, and feedback that I have received from Vitez, JamyzGenius, my Peneke folks and the Jkhub community, I'm now able to publish my first replacement pack, the Penekepack. A pack that, in my humble opinion, has the best of every single mod available plus a bunch of new content that was heavily customized by me.

I brought back things that I liked from the Old school MBII, better versions of existing models, new Icons, new RGB models, new hilts, a bunch of new content, new menu, new cursor, and overall a whole new and improved look for an average replacement pack.

I have included credits for every single person that helped me on this project, and of course, there's a list of all of the authors for every single model, hilt, asset or soundpack that this pack has. In other words, here's some of the stuff that our pack entails:

- New Hilts
- New Peneke UI: Optimization Menu, Authentic Lightsaber button, Music Menu
- New effects
- New Force Icons
- New Loading Screens
- New Console
- As of 2.4 : 192 New models, all of them have their custom icons and sounds, and some of them have their own RGB system

Without further ado, here's the Icon table for the pack, as well as screens from some of the models in game/artwork, the new menu and a showcase table for the hilts as well.

Enjoy it and please remember that all of the credits are inside the .rar file, along with the installation instructions and a few more notes!

Spoiler: Special thanks

And a really special thanks to Vitez, the creator of the H.B Pack, KoyMcCloud because I took some inspiration from his style to make my own icons during early versions, JamyzGenius, Rooxon & Kualan for their unlimited patience to help me out with the optimization and improvement of my pack, Peneke Tesla, SirCrusher, k4far, Shenghai for soundpack contributions, Swagmaster for helping out a great deal with the latest content of the pack, not only with constant feedback and content, but also for his willingness to learn new stuff just to improve the pack to a whole different level, kalamaray for the new saber clash effect, and last but not least Jkhub because I got so much content from that website and got to meet great people in there and many more!

Optional Hilt Replacements:

To use these, install it the same way as vanilla Peneke Pack, drag and drop "z_zz_PNK_Hilts" from the Bonus folder inside the current version's RAR into your MBII folder.
Majority of these are made by Rooxon. Starkiller Hilts & Kota Hilt skin replacement by Doughnuts.

I have figured out why Lunar Base crashes in Peneke's use... Through extensive testing I have deduced that it is the new SWTOR Revan that is included as a replacement for the original MBII Revan, that causes Lunar Base to crash... Perhaps too many polygons? Or maybe a shader issue, I don't know. But I have removed and reinstated the old Vanilla Revan, and Lunar Base works again!
Just another reason to look into that Revan replacement!

 

[Penekowski]

@Gnome The problem is far more complex, actually. Removing Revan won't solve the issue in Lunarbase. I know what causes it, but I won't mention it here as people with bad intentions can exploit that on purpose. Also, my pack doesn't have a SWTOR Revan, it has the soundpack from SWTOR, but the Revan model itself is a direct port from Kotor.

I'm afraid that I'm not planning to remove that Revan, nor replace it as that's how I think that Revan should look like and it fits my taste. There are some models available in jkhub, there's one that i'd love to use, and tompa has it in his pack, but that model is pretty buggy, sometimes the head dissapears from a distance and I don't like that.

@Golvan Hey, thanks for the kind words. Can you please remind me what's the problem with those models again? They work fine for me. And no, I'm not planning to replace them, Those are the best models for those characters in my opinion.

 

[swagmaster]

I'm curious, where did you find the sliver warrior model at (the other starkiller adventure robes outfit)?

 

[Penekowski]

It is an extremely rare model, took me a long time to find, that model was an exclusive from one older version of the HB (Tomi01 pack back then) pack, back in 2010 or 09 if i'm not mistaken, I upgraded the model by giving it a better head, icon and a soundpack, it's one of my favorites.

 

[T r i s t a n]

Spoiler

This is Revan to me.

 

[swagmaster]

i need help, apparently the silverwarrior model has some white circle in front of the eyes when in-game (base) or in modview, help

never mind, i fixed it, the issue is universal for everyone btw, heres the fix: add to the .skin file head_eyes_pupils,*off
that fixes the issue




also theres a issue with the necks on ported silver warrior and kota heads that makes them "detach" from the torso a little, @Kualan says its poor weighting

you can also improve your galen hilt, the one by houou with this, its WAY higher quality:
Starkiller's Lightsaber AshuraDX - JKHub

 

[Penekowski]

Hey, thanks for the tip. I'll fix Galen's eyes on the next version. When it comes to both the heads of Kota and Galen I cannot do that much. Peneke Tesla (He knows more about blender than me) is taking a break and I'm not working as much as I used to on the Penekepack for the time being. You may, however, fix it yourself and you can share it with me through a PM and i'll add it to the next official version. Needless to say, you'll be credited for that.

I'm aware of Ashura's hilt, but I prefer Houou's because it brings back some good old memories, just personal taste. I won't change it.

This is Revan to me.

Awesome, go make a model that looks like this Revan

thank you, but i'd rather put the .skin on here, i don't see why not, as people might as well need the fix, and its minor

[Noob]

Guys it's not your pack. If he doesn't want to put skin "X" in the skin pack, don't push it on him. You are more than welcome to change it yourself.

 

[Golvan]

I don't know, it's just their legs and arms going through their cape that is kind of bugging me: still, do whatever you want with the pack, i'm just suggesting

 

[swagmaster]

wait @Penekowski, how did you get permission from houou about his saber?

 

[Penekowski]

@Golvan Oh, well you're right on that and I really aprecciate your feedback, but i don't know is there's a better Revan / Nhilus model at the time, as I said before, I really like the one from Tompa's pack but it's buggy. and well, The Nhilus that I have in my pack is the best, imo.

@swagmaster He's in the credits (Please check the rar, everyone is/should be credited there), I'm pretty sure that he's retired so it's nearly imposible to get in touch with him right now, feel free to ask more questions by pming me as we've pretty much used 2 pages of this post just for your questions.

Hey, P. Ever get around to those tests? If not, do you know of any addons for MBii that allows me to see that animation?

 

[Penekowski]

Hey, yeah not yet. Tesla is taking a break right now and he's the only one besides me that has that addon. I'm not working on the pack that much lately, I'll make sure to send you a pm if i find anything or learn how.

By the way, is there a chance we could get actual Grand Inquisitor voice lines from rebels instead of the green Reborn lines? Kinda strange hearing the inquisitor talk about master Dessan being pleased.

 

[Penekowski]

Hahaha, it's funny that you mention that. Our new audio collaborator, Karusbadderneke, is working on that and more.

 

[NightShadowR]

hello,
i'm making a skinpack myself currently, although i see the methods have changed and after examining your pack i figured it out, atleast i'd hope so however the only problem is i haven't done this in a while and i was wondering how to replace models like kyle katarn that have nothing in them except the icon fie?
I can explain in more detail if you need it any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

 

[Penekowski]

Look at this tutorial please : Model replacement guide
In case you're having more trouble you can try pming me but I'm quite busy lately, I'm sure that @Tompa9 can you help you out tho.
