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 2.6 : 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!

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.

I've put the file into my MB2 folder, but I still only have the models that come with MB2. I've followed the instructions as well so I am not sure what I have missed, if someone could help it'd be appreciated.

Thank you!
The file should look like this zzz_file.pk3.
You can find the added models under the custom tab. I also missed it the first time in the new UI but it's at the bottom of the model window.

Looks like this pack doesn't work on v1.9.1

I can only actually use Rebel -> Soldier -> Jar Jar Binks
And thats not really a model I want to use.
I'm trying some other models but none work as of yet.

I removed all other model packs to be extra safe but no luck

Edit: Got word it might be a bug and a hotfix might be ready soon™

Sorry for the stupid questions, I'm kind of new to MB2, but if people don't have the pack what model do they see? And is there a way to get the new models without overhauling the menus I am a bit too used to the vanilla one.

It kinda works as if the models from Peneke replace models in game, so they'd either appear as the vanilla models I'd imagine, or generic default models. It's why I never bothered with packs cause no one else can see them unless they downloaded them, which is not the majority.

I Can't stress this enough, make sure to remove older versions of the Penekepack/3rd party replacement packs or Non official Peneke Addons before updating, if you don't do that, you'll experience crashes and different kind of bugs!

I have noticed a small issuse with the pack that makes Imperial Officer model invisible, specifically the gray one(im not sure about exact model name). I have solved the issue by deleting each skin/glm file in models/players/imperial folder.
I saw few others complain about it. Could it be a video card issue(i am on AMD)?

This isn't a video card issue, I haven't updated the pack to fix the skin in regards to a recent update affecting Imperial Officer skins, which I hadn't realized was introduced. Patch is incoming that will fix it and include a few side changes to account for recent MB2 model additions.

Twelve minutes after the previous post, Peneke Pack 2.2 has been released! Includes various QOL updates to existing models, removals of models that have both been added to, or will be added to base MB2 in a future update, and an important fix for the Gray Imperial Officer being mostly invisible!
Download Here


Changelog:
Updated Models:
- Cybernetic Reconstruction Stk has a better shader (affects internal organ jars and such.)
- Darth Vader updated with a better neck-torso connection, broader shoulders, and fixed mask-only/breather skins for FA.
- Deviant Mandalorian has better vertex normals and fixed dual pistol wielding.
- Kyle (New) updated with a more recent version.
- Kylo Ren has better vertex normals and more accurate facial structuring.
- Luke (Ach-To) received several fixes and blinking support.
- Luke (Crait) received several fixes and blinking support.
- Shock Stormtrooper received several adjustments by Mat Grunt.
- TFU1 Kota has better facial animations.
- TOR Republic Trooper has better LODs and vertex normals.

Models moved to custom models:
- ANH & ESB Han (Han Model update being worked on by Mat for MB2)
- TFA Han (Rivals)
- EP3 Obi-Wan w/ Force Arena Head

Removed models due to MB2 open mode additions:
- Alien Soldiers (better variants added in MB2 several updates ago)
- Bo Katan
- Cad Bane
- Yavin Luke

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed invisible gray imperial officer, and updated skins to match base MB2 changes in recent updates.
- Fixed gap in TFU Shaak Ti between the neck and torso
- Fixed Sith Fleet Technician's shader having several typos, preventing half it's shaders from working
- Fixed HK-55's lighting being backwards
- Optimized several shaders to reduce usage of "cull twosided", which slightly contributed to worse performance depending on model detail.

Please let us know if you're having any issues with the most recent update. I seem to be having some UI bugs on my end. But we gotta rule things out. You may want to keep the old version handy just in case we gotta re-release. Thanks!

EDIT: For those who downloaded from page 63 within the last 12 hours or so. Please make sure to re-download either from page 1 or from page 63 again as we had some trouble updating the link.
