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.

Hey Peneke for the next update could you remove some of the redundant Phase II clones and maybe make Phase I clone troopers as seen in Star Wars Clone Wars series? They're somewhat thinner and look a lot more sleek than the current models. It'd be nice if there was a Star Wars Clone Wars Phase I/II for ARCs, like the first model has a Phase I helmet but phase II armor, similar to that, but thinner.

 

[Penekowski]

Hey Przy, I've seen you a couple of times in MBII, always giving ideas to improve the pack, thanks for passing by.

Right now I have no slots available for clones and I'd love to add so many but it's so complicated and time consuming now,. Mostly because the MBII devs love to add many models within a single glm,.which makes adding individual models completely tedious and time consuming. I can't add more clones but I can improve them, I actually have plans to add Ashuras clones in a future, but it will take a lot of time, since i'd have to work in the GLM merge as well as the RGB system for them. But as of now, there's only 3 phase I clones, both the Arcs and the first slot clone

It would be nice if the devs added more slots to have more room for more replacements, but I'm with my hands tied right now, it's rly complicated to add new models because I barely have any slots left.

 

[Haddon70]

Bit of a picky thing to say, I just don't the sabers and was wondering if you would add the sabers and replacements separately or eventually add some of the old sabers back but other than that this is a great pack and will continue to use

This pack does include SBD unit replacements?
If so, it would help if you put up a few screenshots.

well we've been working on this, not sure if you want it

I am conflicted as to whether such a model of droid would instill fear into my foes..

 

[Peneke Tesla]

but nah to be honest we don't actually know what can we do to improve the sbds since there are no sbd models that are better than the current ones. if we added rgb to them it would look silly, so yeah, feel free to give us ideas anyway since we don't want to leave the SBD users behind.

 

[Chaos the Chaotic]

It'd be interesting if the devas in general could introduce markings and the like you could select to put on a player model.

I mean we have rgb colors for some classes already. Wouldn't the next step be marks u could select to place on a players face, chest, back, helmet?

Like different crests for mandos that would appear on their chest plate. Or going beyind that to giving the option of making models a bit rougher. Scarred flesh or armor, etc.

Well I already tried to do that and more than once, but it's impossible unless the devs do something about it, it's a great idea though

There are multiple SBD models not yet implemented.

For example:

For example:

I mean existing models that can be downloaded from jkhub, etc. We're not modellers, yet lol

 

[M@crobyte]

Could add different color variations of the sbd if you don't want to add rgb.

 

[Havoc]

Probably my favorite pack. I started downloading 1.3 as soon as I saw vested Rey. Nice work.

 

[Sammy]

Suggestion:

Use the Quinlan Vos model from the HB Replacement pack. It's a great looking model

H.B. Pack

 

[Penekowski]

We've tried before, it crashes the game on lunarbase, we might as well just drop support on lunarbase, that map hates us rly bad. It only crashes in that map and the whole sources of crashes are in that map. I'm still thinking about it but if we officially stop supporting that map I can add that quinlan .

 

[Karus]

Nuuuu keep support for lunarbase pleaseeee D:
If it's a big detriment to the project then cool m8 but if its just for that Quinlan model, meh

 

[Penekowski]

Yeah, it's a big detriment to the project I'm afraid, no matter what I do, there's always something that HAS to crash in Lunarbase, I hate whoever created that map lol. I'm actually adding some cool stuff for 1.4 that Lunarbase does not like, so fuck it.

That doesn't mean that it will crash everytime that you play on lunarbase, it just means that the game is likely to crash on that map. To be a little bit more specific, it will crash if you use certain models. One alternative would be just using Openjk, but most of the MBII playerbase does not use that, but if they do, I'm pretty sure that they won't crash.

I will also edit the loading screen for that map just to give the heads up that the map is not officially supported by the Penekepack devs and it might have a tendency to crash should they use certain models.

 

[Karus]

Ahhh I see, sounds fine to me!
Can't wait for 1.4

 

[Peneke Tesla]

In other news, here's a small tease for what 1.4 is bringing us, I ported General Kota's face from TFU succesfully

This is a Penekepack exclusive
