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!

Icon tables:

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.

After further playtime with the model, this Krennic's favorite taunt seems to be "give up". I rarely get "deploy the garrison" to play for me, obviously a small "issue" if you could even call it that lol but I miss hearing it

Open the PK3, find the Krennic model, and delete most of the taunts apart from "Deploy the Garrison". Then repack in your desktop and replace PenekePack with your repacked version

 

[toxictaliban111]

Any chance of that Rebels Maul model being available in its own neat little folder? I wanted to use it for SP stuff outside of MB but for the life of me, I can't get the model to work. I tried dropping the Rebels_Maul file into its own pk3 and using the NPCTool to make up an NPC but it won't load the model ingame. I even tried throwing in every single Maul model's file in there too incase it needed anything from them, but still no. It's been driving me insane for the best part of an hour now.

 

[Sad]

Please add Ben Swolo as playable character !

 

[Knob_Jones]

Is there any way to remove the new main menu? I really like the obi wan background, but the way the interface looks with the background image being seen through the menu buttons and the missing logo looks a little sloppy imo. Other than that amazing addon!

 

[Chocorope]

Penekowsky!! I'd really like if you would consider adding a second file into your work so that one contain only tiny blades, instead of a single file that mix thins/thick blades based on the hilts.

I'm playing with a mod called tiny sabers... But it's sadly not compatible with Peneke... So it's either one, or the other

I'd really like if you would consider releasing 2 versions, or a file that would give the option to add only thins sabers, and your traditional one that mix it, instead of right now being forced into a mix of both.

Hopefully its not too much work

 

[Haddon70]

Any chance of a Clone Wars Version of Count Dooku?

 

[Jediknight Fou]

The Menu Picture is great we need these shields somehow. xD
If possible could you add the Sith Lana Beniko?
Would be cool.^^

 

[SneakDissing]

Please add Ben Swolo as playable character !

your profile picture.

kill it.

 

[Kitsu-Nesh'Kaa]

Darktrooper don't used?(

 

[Deleted member 5140]

Can you do a Pack, where Reborn´s and Cultist´s in again?
Or a better version of them and Desann? (with better Graphics and Clothes, that looks more evil) You could put some "Star Wars Rebels" Sith´s, Some Maul skins (I don´t rly need 4 skins of him ) and the Emperor royal guards out and replace them with them and put maybe Darth Andeddu, Darth Plagueis, Darh Bane and more in them too. Would be great.

And the Snowtrooper´s Head and Body is invisible, that should you change too.

I really like your Work, its the best Pack around here.

it's called Peneke Pack not SchizoStyle pack, there are a lot of tutorials on creating your own pack and afaik Peneke allows people to use his modpack as a base for their own, It's unrealistic to expect anyone else in the community to make a pack tailored directly to your needs

As long as it doesn't re-release any material from Penekepack, it's fine afaik.

There is few i would love to see

But you must absolutely put this one!!!

 

[Huntertyavatar]

Quick question!

What exactly is the name of The Force theme that plays in the menu sometimes? I've been searching all over, but i havent been able to find it.

 

[Penekowski]

Hey guys, it's been a while. While I do lurk these forums pretty often, i'm afraid that i have done 0 progress on Peneke pack 1.8, I've been super busy lately and i haven't had the time to set things in stone yet, please keep in mind that this doesn't mean that we'll stop developement of Penekepack or Penekemations, it's just that there's no time for it right now. However, please do keep asking questions or providing feedback, as I'll always keep that in mind when developing the next version.

With all that being said, I'm gonna answer all of your questions since I last appeared here.

Hey, I found a lil' problem. Darth Malak's lines are quiet as all get-out, like, I can only *barely* hear him in complete silence.

Strange, I don't seem to have that issue, can anyone else confirm?

PLAGUEIS SKIN OR RIOT

Plagueis will be added once we get a decent model for it. the current one is kinda okaish for the time being, not sure yet.

Any chance you'd be able to replace the current Lando with a BF2 version of him, like with a cape?

After further playtime with the model, this Krennic's favorite taunt seems to be "give up". I rarely get "deploy the garrison" to play for me, obviously a small "issue" if you could even call it that lol but I miss hearing it

Noob got it right methinks, i'll look into it

Any chance of that Rebels Maul model being available in its own neat little folder? I wanted to use it for SP stuff outside of MB but for the life of me, I can't get the model to work. I tried dropping the Rebels_Maul file into its own pk3 and using the NPCTool to make up an NPC but it won't load the model ingame. I even tried throwing in every single Maul model's file in there too incase it needed anything from them, but still no. It's been driving me insane for the best part of an hour now.

I understand how frustrating it can get when trying to extract models from Penekepack into a standalone version, unfortunately we've had to use that specific format in order to avoid duplicate files and for optimization purposes, I do suggest to contact @Tompa9 to give you an standalone version of that model since he's the one that made the kitbash and we just optimized it and tweaked some things here and there.

Please add Ben Swolo as playable character !

Is there any way to remove the new main menu? I really like the obi wan background, but the way the interface looks with the background image being seen through the menu buttons and the missing logo looks a little sloppy imo. Other than that amazing addon!

Thank you, try opening penekepack's pk3 and go into gfx/menus and delete menu_bar.jpg as well as menu_bar_setcon.jpg, that should default it to the vanilla one.

While the task itself is not that time consuming, I like the current variety that penekepack offers with lightsaber hilts. Sure, a standalone addon could be made, but I don't have time or will to do so, sry

The Menu Picture is great we need these shields somehow. xD
If possible could you add the Sith Lana Beniko?
Would be cool.^^

*Insert TLJ maybe meme here*
Once we get some extra slots, I don't see why not.

I really like your Work, its the best Pack around here.

I appreciate your excitement and compliments. As for your request, noel couldn't have said it any better (with shenghai's clarification of course), sry

Who is that droid bounty hunter with cape?He is awesome.

[Penekowski]

No need for hux, that model and a few others will likely make it for mb2's update. As for the other, I'm not sure.
