- Added recent uMad music tracks to Music Menu.

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!
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 2.6 : 173 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!
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.
Update: Yikes, Adventure Robes Starkiller was completely invisible, here's an updated version of the hotfixes! z_zz_Pnk1.9hotfixes
This fixes:
- JAMP crash due to a stray progressive JPG
- Adventure Robes Starkiller being invisible in-game
*The main download was updated with these fixes, as well as a few minor readme touch-ups*
first of all i hope that you're enjoying the update so far. As sweg said, bugs are to be expected since we kinda rushed the release so that we can give you a nice christmas surprise.
We wanted to let you know that we're aware of some the bugs so far and we're working on them accordingly. Expect a fix sometime soon.
Bugs/small things that we've noted and that we can publicly discuss about so far are:
- Old 1.8 intro picture on the 1.9 release ( minor thing)
- JPEG COMPILE ERROR (Hotfix for that is out, you could either download sweg's small hotfix or re download the whole pack, as links have been updated accordingly)
- Transparent Peneke style console is gone (we're trying to figure out a way to re-add it)
- Lack of promotional art on the main page (we're trying to find someone who could do that for us)
We're also aware of some people exploiting a texture bug on one of our custom models, please keep an eye out on the forums for a quick fix. (HOTFIX RELEASED ON POST ABOVE)
Last but not least, please let's just give a big thank you to swegmaster and the jointed work that all the mb2 devs have put on the new ui and custom model system features that have been added. This is a big step in the right direction for sub-modding in mb2, and i can't wait to see how many new things you all come up with! (The old republic sith add-on pack when?)
While i've been the creative mindset on this Peneke update, due to lack of time and ambition, Sweg did LOTS of work on this update, so please. most of the thanks and credits goes to him. I'm happy to have him by my side because otherwise 1.9 would have been impossible to release at this time. I hope I can work on more updates and add lots of content that I have on my old pc, that unfortunately can't use because my graphics card died 2 months ago and I haven't even been able to play any games at all, I don't have the cash to afford a new one.
That being said, this new system has opened given us many possibilities and now we can add a SHIT TON Of content without many limitations, expect more and more frequent updates!
Great pack indeed. Will be there any camera options like in 1.8? Third person range options? /cg_thirdpersonrange is disabled, and i dunno why. But thanks Penekowski for great update
Camera options not being included ruins the whole mb2 experience for me. I understand why it has been removed. Are you planning to include that in a future update though? A cool pack nevertheless.
New Peneke is great. Especially the ability to switch between vanilla skins and custom ones. But there is one problem - I am using Penekepack and Penekemations 2, aaand some of models look broken, like Han Solo models, Anakin Ep. 3 and some others. Can you please fix it, it would be so great)
Thanks! I'm going over the models you listed and they all work just fine for me. Please re-download and make sure u don't have any old version or unofficial peneke content before reporting those bugs. (This goes to everyone pls)
Just like to say thanks for this, all this hard work really wasn't necessary but you knew how much people loved/used this pack and decided to keep going.
It's stuff like this that really does keep the community feeling alive.
Cheers!
Phenomenal work on the mod, glad to see it's still getting updates!
One question; is it possible to add our own models to go into the new custom character section of the class UI? Like for instance, I liked the old Jedi Brute model and would like to add it, would that be possible or no?
It is possible. You have to add prefix to the jedi_brute folder. In that case it is +jed_jedi_brute. Hope it would work for you!
Edit: Of course you would need to edit paths of textures in his .skin and .shader files.

I've got his files from the old Penekepack (1.8) and was able to do the shader thing quite easily but for some reason his model folder doesn't have any .skin file. Any idea where I could find that?
EDIT: NVM, got it working
It took a while but I found the folder with the right files for this guy (it was in TFA Luke's, of all places) and then replaced some bits of text with +jed_jedibrute as you said and it works now. Very cool.

Well, I am pretty sure I have everything stable now - latest version, no unofficial stuff. Probably some pictures would show what I have called "broken models". Also, on Han Solo ANH skin sleeves look kinda weird and they are invisible from the inside. This is still a problem.
