- 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!

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.

That's badass, will add it to the main post for sure. Can you do one with our Kota? He's my favorite.

Got some feedback for ya.

The jump animation is good but now you stretch your arms high regardless of what direction your jump makes, sometimes makes it look stupid.

Another thing. Dunno which stance it was but some jedi was advancing towards me with the saber behind his head and back, it looked like he was blocking blaster fire from behind him, but he was slowly walking towards me with defense up. weird.

It was blue stance which looks pretty badass imo :D

We already have the textures for it, but we don't have any slots left, maybe for future versions :)

We kept it for ourselves and to avoid having unused files.

I doubt it. As of now I'm now part of the MBII development team and will be investing more time for that to bring a visual overhaul for vanilla MBII, it's gonna be a slow process as the addition of new models for official MBII updates are more demanding and require more testing. So I doubt that I'll have the time to do individual replacements. However, I'm still planning to keep developing Penekepack/Penekemations as those are my babies and that's how I would really like MBII to look like, not to mention that I'm not alone on this project and I have my Peneke minions who tend to help me out.

We'll get there at some point :)

About time, I am surprised this did not happen sooner.
Skins for the soldiers and ET's is in dire straits.
Here is some I wanted for awhile.

For the ET's

Mando's could also use some love as well.
For example, they can get those minor variations like clones get and get more RGB love.

Edit: Yo I installed your pack, don't put white robed characters onto sith. I accidentally team killed some guy 3 times because he chose that Tor prince character with the yellow saber. I am red-green color blind so looking at the sabers doesn't really help me and im used to shooting at vibrant colors that jedi typically have. It took me a good minute to adjust to his model, but if I was far away I probably still make that mistake again.

Guys, a small Patch has been released for new models that couldn't make it to 1.6 due to limited time, complete note below with download links and extra instructions:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Folks! Our friend @Kualan just released his Imperial Heroes models pack, we have updated the main version of the Peneke pack and released a mini patch for people that already have the up to date version installed. These models were all meant to be released along 1.6 but due to limited time and because they were not ready yet we couldn't add them.


Penekepack 1.6.2 Patch: The Imperial Heroes update

f938c468cc6946bfa0c0d3018fa8073c.png
This update is not mandatory and barely fixes any bugs, but rather adds/upgrades more models to the Imperial commander's roster, changelog below:

Penekepack 1.6.2 Mini patch:
- Upgraded Grand Admiral Thrawn with Kualan's version with a little Peneke touch.
- Upgraded Grand Moff Tarkin to Kualan's Tarkin (Version 2)
- Added Director Orson Krennic
- Added 2 Variations of Kualan's commander Kallus, replaces the imperial officers
- Fixed Fisto's clipping issues
- Fixed Darth Sion's clipping issues
- Optimized Rogue One's vader even more.
- Added Normals mapping to HK55
- Added Normals mapping to Valkorion
- Made the darksaber ignitable, unfortunately this removes the 'dark' color that it has but the old version looked bad because it couldn't be turned off, therefore we added the ignitable version by Alvar007
- Updated credits to reflect @ShenLongKazama ownership on DW_Maul's model.


Extra notes :

The Icon table has been updated to reflect the new additions.
The main download link has been updated, so feel free to re-download the whole pack if you want, you'll still get the latest patch content, needless to say if you re-download the whole pack again there's no need for this Penekepatch.


Link for the full up-to date pack (Includes 1.6.2's content) : Here
Link for users who already have the pack and just wish to update it with a small patch: Here

Heads up ! (Let me know if you don't want to be notified for future versions please) : @Prototype XT81 , @Jaws123DRevenge @Jediknight Fou ,
@jiblet @Anakin @KarusBadders @TadekRaeod @Antraxo @Rajive @Darth_Stiv @T r i s t a n @AaronAaron @Noob
