Changelogneke 1.4 > 1.5
This version took us longer than usual because we had to be really careful with what we added and how we add it in order to prevent any crashes. Peneke pack 1.5 Mainly focuses on optimization, audio improvement, and many upgrades with many additions. I'll list everything that we've done in different sections. Big thanks to the JKhub Community for helping me out!

Extra Notes Regarding the models Portion:
- The new Han Solo that was added had to be heavily customized in order to be able to make it work in MBII without crashing at all, therefore, the model can look better, but due to engine limitations, I had to lower the quality a little bit. It still looks great.
- I really optimized Scerendo's Quinlan Vos in order to make it work in MBII without crashes, the poly count has been greatly reduced in said model.
- Some may wonder why did I remove the base MBII's Phasma, the answer is because of personal preferences, I think that Kualan's Phasma is better than DT'S Phasma.
- Scorch's backpack has been brought back due to popular request, I realized that it was a mistake that had to be fixed.
- Some models have changed slots for optimization reasons, it shouldn't affect the performance or anything at all, but it's good to let you know.

Extra notes for the Hilt portion:
.Most of the hilts have been upgraded, however, there are some that are gone for good, I'd like to hear your feedback about it, but I feel like the ones that were removed could improve or were not really liked by the average Penekepack user nor by me.
.All of these changes have been made fully compatible with the Peneke custom saber feature (The green button)
.The default Hilt for everyone if they don't choose a hilt from now on will be the base MBII hilt called Jedi Knight
AUDIO PORTION:
The Peneke Hilt groups saber soundpack modification:
The Penekepack 1.5 has brought a big addition to the table soundwise. We've set it so that there will be 4 Groups of hilts, the Original Trilogy group Hilts, The Force Unleashed group hilts, Knights of the old Republic group hilts and Prequels/EU group hilts. I will explain how this works.
. Every single group has a custom saber soundset, meaning that the Original trilogy hilts will have the actual saber sounds from the original trilogy, whereas the Old republic hilts will have sounds that, according to our personal preference, fit them better, same for TFU hilts/EU and prequels. Some hilts (Like the default/number one hilt) will still have the MBII base sounds, but we're aiming for great immersion with the saber hilts sounds, and a lot of variety audio wise on 1.5. All you need to do is choose one of the hilts from those groups and you'll be able to note the difference.
. Only the Grand Inquisitor has custom exclusive sounds for his staff
Extra Improvement: Kylo Ren's lightsaber sounds were improved.
We'll be polishing this new feature as we receive more feedback from you guys in future versions, let us know what you think!
The Peneke Character soundpack Overhaul:

The Peneke pack music Overhaul:
The music menu is something that we haven't really touched that much within the last couple of versions, however, on 1.5, we've decided to fill those placeholder gaps with some badass Star Wars music.
Songs that were added to the Peneke pack music menu:
- The Force awakens Trailer song
- Darth Revan theme song
- A.I. Invasion
- The Immolation Scene
- Knights of the Fallen SWTOR DLC Theme song
- SWTFA Starkiller base duel
- Mb2_eravana map song
- Kylo Ren's Theme song
- Rey's theme song
- Quigon's funeral
Audio Portion extra notes:
. The Peneke Hilt groups saber soundpack modification has an actual limit, meaning that the Jedi academy Engine won't let us add custom sounds to all of the hilts, however, we can always find a way to bypass some stuff, but for now we want to hear your feedback to see if we should improve/add or remove something about it.
. For the music overhaul, I highly suggest to listen to all of the songs that were added, maybe you like them, maybe you do not, but we'll love to hear if you'd like us to add some specific music, and we'll see what we can do about it.
Miscellaneous:
. Added a new menu: Luke & Vader
. New main menu theme: Fast paced Twilight of the Apprentice
. Some icons were Improved
. Set it up so the Grand Inquisitor's Lightsaber is stored in his back just like in the TV Shows whenever he pulls his saber out
. Removed the 'Custom Skin' Icon for class configuration ingame because it caused confusions
. Added new loading Screens to the Lunarbase map, in said loading screens, Commander Peneke explains that the Lunarbase crash bugs have been fixed ( More details on the bug fixes portion)
. Despite the new size of the pack, the pack has been greatly optimized, I've removed a lot of unnecesary non used/leftover files
BUG Fixes:
. I'm extremely happy to announce that the Lunarbase crash bug has been finally fixed at 100% I found the actual cause, and this information might be really useful for modders that want to make a similar pack in the future, so I'm gonna share it with you. The answer is really simple, poly count. Some models tend to have high polys due to poor optimization or because the model is way too good looking, Lunarbase goes nuts whenever a model with high polys is being used, therefore, you really need to check the amount of polys that the model that you want to add has before you actually add it, otherwise you'll experience what I experienced. Anyways, turns out that one of my glm packs had over 10k polys, anything that it's over 10k causes crashes in Lunarbase. I had to optimize that in order to lower the poly count, I also had to do the same in order to bring back Scerendo's Quinlan Vos, as it had like 28k polys, and it went down to 8000 and something IIRC. So well, since many people don't like to read changelogs, I decided to add a custom loading screen for Lunarbase, stating that the crash bug has been fixed, and that you can play there without worrying about randomly crashing.
. Fixed bug that caused that the Inquisitor staff couldn't be selectable in the Staff list.
. Fixed Jedi adventure outfit Starkiller blind look bug
. Fixed Duplicate models bug that were caused by the latest MBII update
. Fixed Holstered clone Rifle clipping on the Poncho clonetrooper, it's now hidden so that it doesn't look ugly.
. Fixed Nihilus playing a generic death noise when he dies, he should now play his actual death lines when killed
