can u explain step 4 better? it sounds confusing :/
kuba_jeden 18 Jun @ 12:22pm 
i dont know why but in episode 2 the ammo mags where the original amount (for exaple: shotgun has only 6 shots in his tube , the smg has 45 rounds in his mag and the pistol has 18 rounds in his mag) but the reserve ammo has the changed amount (for example i can hold 24 magnum rounds , 120 pulse ammo , 5 rockets and 15 crossbow rounds)

NyanCatGamer02 10 Jun @ 7:52am

For anybody who pulled their hair out tryna get this to work with MMOD like me you have to go to steamapps/workshop/conent/220/3366867453 copy those vpk files and paste them into the custom folder of whichever MMOD game you wanna run

it didn't work for me, sorry
I tried lots of folder combinarions and putting custom on every main folder but nothing...is still at 45

Edit these two:

cfg/skill.cfg
scripts/weapon_smg1.txt

and put them into a hl2/custom folder
PSYCHOTIC BEELZEBUB 20 Apr @ 11:02am 
how do you modify the smg1 capacity?
I edit the script file but after the 20th anniversary update, it is stuck at 45

I am in the coast chapters.
Mr. Catλpimbas #CIRP 17 Apr @ 2:31pm 
Yeah, I dont know if its the game fault or a mod (probably not a mod), but I feel like Im getting a lot of dumb pistol ammo for some reason, and when I mean a lot its a lot, not always, but it gets annoying.
Guicool  [author] 17 Apr @ 2:19pm 
No, this only affects the weapons themselves (I don't think I changed the crates :P)

And yes, the game will dynamically adjust the crates to give you what you need, usually following a HP -> Armor -> Low on certain weapon priority (from highest to lowest)

And HL2 is too generous with ammo anyway, unless you're playing a stingy mod like The Tr1p.
Mr. Catλpimbas #CIRP 17 Apr @ 1:45pm 
Just a quick question: Does this mess with the supply crate drop system? Because from what I know some of them during the game drops what you most need, so like, weapons that got their ammo reduced, will make more supply crates drop their ammo even if you cant pick it up?

Great mod by the way

Good mod but feels like i have way to much ammo now

and using multiscripts wouldn't work? (a question)
Guicool  [author] 16 Mar @ 3:01pm 
Bonus thing that I also mention

NOTE: You should do this after getting new mods, since it resets for some reason. Any mods qualify to break how it loads.
√•/[UnShu]\•√ 15 Mar @ 9:59pm 
It doesn't work anyway,
Guicool  [author] 15 Mar @ 5:52pm 
See the part "Getting it to work"

Alternatively, you could use Crowbar to download this mod and place it in the addons folder for each game.
치지직_와이맨 15 Mar @ 5:31pm 
Please update this. It doesn't apply properly.
√•/[UnShu]\•√ 14 Mar @ 5:10pm 
don't works

How to change the number of cartridges in the MP7 magazine? Tried changing the values ​​of clip_size, default_clip, did not help.
Marisa Freeman 12 Mar @ 5:06pm 
oh, it's alright, i just have to go from HL2 to EP1 and back so it's not that much of a chore.
Guicool  [author] 12 Mar @ 7:12am 
Maybe. Alternatively, you could use Crowbar to download this mod and place it in the addons folder for each game.
Marisa Freeman 11 Mar @ 6:51pm 
could the weapon_manifest ease the process of having to go from HL2 to EP1/2 and back and loading a save?
Guicool  [author] 12 Feb @ 6:24am 
ACKSTUALLY it's 12 gauge cartridges

GORDON LOADS 8 BULLETS INTO THE SHOTGUN LIKE THE OLD DAYS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Louis.7493 31 Dec, 2024 @ 3:23am 
bro i'd rather change the config file than to only add 12 357. rounds and reduce the weak ass pistol's ammo to something even worse
Germanick 19 Dec, 2024 @ 8:26pm 
у меня магазины (смг и дробовик) новые оружия не работает, ток боезапас

Very good rebalance mod. Totally recommend.

The Ar2 feels to OP with 120, you should reduce it to 90.
Guicool  [author] 5 Dec, 2024 @ 5:30pm 
If that mod uses scripts, yes, there will be a conflict.

8/10

Brings some much needed ammo capacity changes, but the magazine changes do break if you subscribe to anything new from the workshop unless you start a new save.
Bounter 3 Dec, 2024 @ 1:59pm 
Fun, but really ruins Balance of HL2

THAT BEING SAID, it is neat to have more ammo

Fun stuff, just, not the best, but pretty neat
Nomad 3 Dec, 2024 @ 12:42am 
Did the steps, works perfectly,
Thank you very much :neko:
Guicool  [author] 1 Dec, 2024 @ 4:55pm 
It does work, just follow these steps.

Start Game, go to EP1 or EP2, load a save/start new game/load a map directly, check ammo counts, return to main menu, load HL2, load a previous save.
-W3E- Hunter 30 Nov, 2024 @ 1:29pm 
Not work for me.
Latest game version, enabled only this mod
Captain Starblazer 30 Nov, 2024 @ 12:52am 
I think the pistol needs to go back to default ammo capacity and extra ammo. cuz ngl, only 100 extra bullets sucks.
frostbittenSynth 29 Nov, 2024 @ 8:55am 
Just noticed right now that upon reloading a shotgun it goes back only to 6 shots as usually, not 8 as it intended with this mod. :steamsalty:
Guicool  [author] 27 Nov, 2024 @ 3:13pm 
Yeah, I can't do anything about that, since that's the way that the game loads the cfg file, with each alteration (like a new mod). But it does work.
Sikanagto 27 Nov, 2024 @ 1:50am 
the shotgun is correct now but damn, if had to do that everytime quite annoying ngl
MaicOOOOOOOOOONN!!PY 26 Nov, 2024 @ 3:02pm 
the max capacity is in skill.cfg
MaicOOOOOOOOOONN!!PY 26 Nov, 2024 @ 3:01pm 
i think you should make the grenade max capacity from 5 to 10
Guicool  [author] 26 Nov, 2024 @ 1:42pm 
Start Game, go to EP1 or EP2, load a save/start new game/load a map directly, check ammo counts, return to main menu, load HL2, load a previous save.
Sikanagto 26 Nov, 2024 @ 9:36am 
shotgun one still 6/40 instead 8/40
Guicool  [author] 24 Nov, 2024 @ 4:54pm 
I have added a few words there, to make it clearer. Sometimes you only need to just load any map from the console.

More investigation about this: Since every background is a map, technically all you need is to swap between games (aka go from HL2 to EP1 and then back), but this didn't work, a map or a saved game has to be loaded. No idea why this is the case.
Dylan The Spud 24 Nov, 2024 @ 4:49pm 
Ah, when I read "load a map directly", I took that as just loading it from the menu - not the console. I tried the New Game method instead which worked fine. I'll assume loading from console would work too without issue
Guicool  [author] 24 Nov, 2024 @ 4:09pm 
Did you start a new game? Or loading a map via the console?
