Western Sahara updated their mod to version 1.1.3., which adds new SLR Para rifle. Hence this mod now adds CBA JR and JAM compatibility for this gun too!

Maybe.

In October 2023 update for CBA, CBA team decided to introduce at least partial compat for cDLCs on their own: JAM magwell compatibility patch (no Joint Rails). However for Western Sahara, they are missing some guns (Galil/Velko and AA-12/AA40), and some of their decisions are weird. For example CBA allows loading of double drums into XMS bullpup, and it's impossible to load single GLX 40mm WS grenades into single-shot launchers like M203.

As it stands right now, in regards to magazines, my CBA-WS compat is a bit at odds with CBA own WS compat. So before doing anything with new cDLC, I'd prefer to see what CBA guys do themselves, especially since I'm pretty sure there ain't CBA magwell classes for Desert Eagle or ASh-12/ShAK yet. But this will probably take months for CBA team to do in their pipeline/work schedule.

So I guess I could just do a Joint Rails compat (accessories only, no JAM magazine compatibility) for the new cDLC. I'm not sure yet.

any plans for the new CDLC?

@krzychuzokecia Thanks a lot for the fix :)
And additional thanks for being as quick and responsive!

Also I didn't notice as much that their accessories were already compatible, but yes, you are 100% right, they did that by themselves already.

And also yes, BI has so far indeed missed out on integrating a joint rail feature and we are probably never going to see that in the game, but I hope they have an eye out for that in their next title! Can't speak for Reforger since I haven't tried it yet.

@Moloti: yes, same with WS Velko and CUP Galil. Mags/proxies are in different position, happens quite often with guns made by different authors.

I think there's some weirdness with the Western Sahara SLR magazines on the CUP FAL and vice versa

@Alerick: thanks, it's fixed already.

It was one of those weird class inheritance issues that sometimes creep up when you're modifying both parent and child class.

As for "this should have been standard" - well, yes, but it's really more of a BI fault (for not making JR-esque system themselves), than Rotators Collective/WS fault. In fact, as I've noted in description, WS already makes their accessories compatible with CBA JR. Which is more than any other "Creator DLC" did. So, kudos for them.

Very glad you made this Compat - sorely needed addition, which baffles the mind that it hadn't been as standard, as per the actual devs!

I have one remark though, that i would hope you could fix in a future update:
The Velko R4 and R5 currently are for some reason able to load AKM magazines of all kinds whereas realistically, they should not load any other magazines except for their original 35 and 50rnd ones from the cDLC.
