@Pavesi Not currently possible and probably won’t be. Considering ammo is likely server sided.

Maybe better usage of scripting.
Did you tried or considered making shotgun reload realistic? It is very dumb how those idiots did shotguns. 1 shell reloads fully. Even 14 shells! This is so dumb! GTA have the dumbest gameplay designer in terms of gunplay in whole game industry. It is huge shame.

@Cosm1c Gam3r I can agree with that. I already did a little bit of research around that but could probably visit it again with a fresh set of ideas. Obviously the logic behind it is hidden somewhere =D

I wish I could help or rather If I would have skills in terms of programing/scripting I would make such mod for realistic reload even with 1 bullet in chamber.
But all I can do is to support someone who was brave enough to go into such scripting.
Have you used similar mod for GTA4? I remember it was almost perfect and all guns clip was somehow saved so when you equipped other weapon and go back to previous one then it was exactly ammount that I put it away with. As for shotgun reload maybe by scripting it is possible to make reload to fill only 1 bullet instead of full shotgun capacity. This way it would be the easiest way to make it realistic! :) It would be tedious for some ppl (like lazy casuals) to press reload for every shell but it would work and could be as optional thing in your mod! :) I think it is most doable. Or if there would be possibility to make reload fill only 1 bullet and add for each shotgun loaded manually to repeat animation 8 Times for shorgun with 8 shells capacity and 14 for the other one with 14 shell capacity. But it would need to check if it needs to repeat 8 Times for full mag or less if there is already some shells left. I think this can be more tricky to make. IMO 1 reload animation = 1 shell would be the easiest way of making this ridiculous weapon gameplay more believable for gun nuts :) Casuals dont bother with such mods anyway so it can be as tedious as it needs to be! :D
I personally would be happy even with the one that I could reload 1 shell at time. For me it would not be tedious but instead most realistic shotgun reload :D But obviously we need some 100% working pocket save because swaping weapon would be still exploit that would allow to skip this manual reload :/

Just dropping back in... it's flawless now!

@Cosm1c Gam3r I never got a chance to try that one. I'm guessing it might have been easier to accomplish back then because some things weren't hard-coded in as they are now. You could probably just disable the animations and count the ammo manually. I'd really like to fix this bug but I need to know a bit more about why it happens. Then I at least have something to go off. In my testing so far, it seems almost completely random when it happens. Figuring out when and why it happens will help me to find the code that is causing it.

I really like the mod, but I dislike the sound. It does not sound like an empty weapon in my opinion. I think the Taser sound while it's reloading resamples more of what I think would be appropriate for a reloading sound. A function for replacing the reload sound would be great!

@Fledron Thanks for your feedback :D Are you talking about the "dry- fire" sound that plays when firing an empty weapon? I'll see if its worth changing.

does the fact that this is a .asi plugin and not a .dll plugin mean that it has to be placed in the game directory and not the script folder? I don't know much about mods but it isn't working in my game with it in the script folder so I think it might work if it's in the directory

@CamxxCore Yeah it's the dry-firem sound. You don't have to change it since nobody else has a problem with it, but maybe allowing people to change the sound would be really cool!

How you've fixed this: 'It also fixes a bug (feature?) in the games ammo inventory system which makes weapons reload themselves when they are put away or swapped.'
I am bad in c++ and I just can't understand how it works :\ I want to implement this fix on lua for fivem.

@ReloadedBoss my understanding of LUA is limited so I cannot comment much. But it should be possible. You may need to call some native code to manage memory reads/ writes.

@CamxxCore how you are detecting clip size of weapons that not in hands?

this has nothing to do with reloading, why didnt you just name it "no auto reload"?

@CamxxCore no longer works after latest schripthook update - please fix!

@Bazil What? What is the difference?

@chrisnovxxx Will do. Thanks for letting me know.

@chrisnovxxx the mod appears to be working fine after doing some testing of my own. What problems were you having?

@CamxxCore It didn't work, to put it as in depth as I can LOL. Auto reloading still existed. :/

@chrisnovxxx fair enough, lol. Can you see if there is an entry in ScriptHookV.log saying 'CORE: Launching main() for 'ManualReload.asi'. That will tell if the mod was being loaded at all. If there is an entry, can you delete the .INI file if it exists?
