- Updated other Jedi Starkillers with improved lines from SCIV
- 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.

The mandalorian theme is the one from the tv show right ? is it possible to replace only the song,to have the old base game's main menu song please? any option for that ?

Hello,

It is a simple edit, using 7zip software open the pack, search the folder "music" and find "ThemeMusicB19.mp3". Replace it with a file of the same format (mp3) and matching the name.
(Delete the file inside the pack, to restore to the default MBII music)

Hi guys!

I just wanted to give you a little update. GCJ, from the MBII dev team, has been working on a new model addon system for MBII, meaning all existing packs will have to be reworked to be able to co-exist with the new system. Trust me, it will make things way easier, I'm actually trying to familiarize myself a bit with it and we already have a fully compatible version of Penekepack for this system. We'll also make sure to provide documentation so that you can get the gist of things once it's released.

With that being said, I've been playing and lurking around quite more often lately and I feel like we're due for a large Peneke update. While I can't give out any promises nor any ETA. I can say that I already have the potential roster in mind, which more or less will be around 30-50 new models. I still have to go over them, make sure they are optimized, sort out credits and permissions, get icons and create soundpacks. Sweg has been hard at work with his other projects so his valued work might take a while. That's why I could use some help. I wanted to ask if someone is willing to help me out with soundpacks for potential characters. If anyone is interested, please feel free to contact me on discord and as usual we'll be happy to credit you.

I'm also open to new ideas or wish lists for the potential roster and we'll see if we can make it happen.

Thanks!

EDIT: My discord id should be: Peneke#5759

Hi Pene. Will Darth Andeddu ever be a Skin in your pack?

 

[Penekowski]

Hi Pene. Will Darth Andeddu ever be a Skin in your pack?

Hi! I'll check if we can get him. Thanks for the idea.

 

[SMmania123]

Hi! I'll check if we can get him. Thanks for the idea.

I hope you do manage to add new skins, I know we'd all love an update to this amazing pack!

 

[Fuse294]

Noticed a bug with +her_han_anh_p causing the skin to not load correctly in 2.2, spoke to Peneke, managed to fix it and he told me pass on the fix. Simply put it in the MB2 folder and what was a mess will now be corrected.

i dont use peneke but ur a good guy for this

 

[Dr. Ball M.D.]

Funny Idea: Find or create a skin of a cleaning woman or cleaning guy, so you can troll around in duel mode and clean all corpses. And every time a new corpse is on the ground you spam the "Charge" voice_cmd.

 

[swagmaster]

Hey all, Penekepack will be seeing a minor update soon, both for compatibility with future updates, and also some optimization and fixes:
- Make every model compatible with the new model system, including skin variants for pre-existing open models
- Further Shader "cull twosided/disable" optimization, which should help with performance further by rendering less detail where it's not needed
- Fix Vader's skins being glitched due to recent changes in the latest update
- Fix Peneke Menu options glitching the in-game menu, because of missing changes included in the latest update

 

[swagmaster]

Peneke Pack 2.3 has been released!
Supports the new "Extra" models system, optimizes several model shaders, fixes the Peneke Menu presets' "PLAY" button not functioning, and fixes Darth Vader & the Navy Officer having glitched skins.

[kiko111]

Is this still working with the latest MB2 version? Cause for some reason when I start the game and connect to a server, I don't see any of these character skins?! Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance
P.S. Nevermind, I fixed it..

I did everything but when I opened the game none of the skins were there what should I do?

 

[Scuz]

Does this replace or delete anything? Or just add on to

 

[KrYcHokE]

Does this replace or delete anything? Or just add on to

it replaces few models but mostly adds new

 

[Fuse294]

Currently it breaks a few shaders for newer models that were added in 1.9.3.

 

[Fuse294]

For those experiencing broken shaders on the mudtrooper, this is caused by a version of the mudtrooper inside the peneke pack.

Delete the mudtrooper folder inside the peneke pack models/players then find the penekesoldcompsimp.shader in shaders, open in notepad or notepad++ and delete the shader text for the mudtrooper from it.

 

[Maeve]

I might just be blind, but does anyone know where the music menu went?

Forgot how much more aesthetically pleasing the old UI design was, and how much I prefer it to the 'new' one despite it taking more clicks to join a game. Great job!
