Modern shooter reloading news - Fight For Honor mod for Battlefield 2

Hey!

In newer Battlefield titles you can reload without loosing bullets, even when your magazine isnt empty. In older Battlefield games like BF2 or 2142 you throw away the mag with all the remaining bullets if its not empty.

For example:

BF2: Full magazine 31 shots 10 Shots fired If you reload you would loose 21 shots.

BF4: Full magazine 31 shots 10 Shots fired If you reload you dont loose any shots.

Well, I found out how to tweak it during development of my modification Fight For Honor. I know how to "unlock" the Modern reloading style. If you want you (as a modder or as a private player) can modify your weapons. And its not even that hard, its pretty easy.

(This is the AEK from Ponysaurus_Rex!)

But however, this is how it works:

1. Open the .tweak file of your weapon (found in \[your_mod]\Objects_server.zip\weapons\handdelds\[your_weapon])

2. Add the lines

"ObjectTemplate.ammo.nrOfMags [ * planned numbers of mags + 1]"

"ObjectTemplate.ammo.reloadAmount [Mag size]"

"ObjectTemplate.ammo.magSize [Mag size]"

anywhere between lines "rem ---BeginComp:DefaultAmmoComp ---" and "rem ---EndComp ---".

3. Change your reload time like this:

"ObjectTemplate.ammo.reloadTime [Original reload time / mag size]"

(Disclaimer: You have to finetune the reload time. It can happen that the reload animation is going to shop up several times because your reload time might be to high so lower the reload time a little bit if you have more than one reload animation!)

Your file should look like this:

Before:

After:

So, I hope some of you like this tweak. Feel free to tweak your weapons and tell me what you think of it. I just wanted to share this piece of BF2 modding knowledge because it may enhances someones gameplay experience.
