Discontinued, I advise you to finish your saved games and for new games migrate to artifax' Anomaly Magazines Redux (link in description)!
Q: Is this standalone?
A: No, it requires wuut's Anomaly Magazines (read instructions below)
Q: Does it crash often?
A: No, thanks to artifax' code issues are wrapped and this addon provides a stable experience.
Q: Does it break saves?
A: Savegames from 1.5.1-2 or earlier or from plain Anomaly Magazines _can_ break savegames.
Q: Why can migration from AM break saves?
A: Because Mad Mags adds new magazines, changes some, corrects some ammo types for weapons.
Q: Is this the great Anomaly Magazines Extended by Ohotnik?
A: Yes. Ohotnik left me the files, artifax did some great extra code, and I did some graphics.
DISCONTINUED; I advise you to finish your saved games and with new games migrate to artifax' Anomaly Magazines Redux Moddb.com
Requires Anomaly Magazines by wuut (link in description)
Mad Mags is a cheap rebrand (=a selected flavour repack) of Ohotnik's Anomaly Magazines Extended plus a few great enhancements to gameplay by artifax, some by me including new icons for magazines in the player's loadout.
I've tried to make it easier to enjoy these addons in one pack and to make them a bit more immersive.
Ohotnik handed over his files to me. Some of his work is not included in here and may follow later (BaS adaptation). Let's settle Anomaly versions first.
See the credits below, this would never be possible without the great people delivering the addons this is based on.
--- FEATURES ---
- Mad Mags provides a stable experience of Anomaly Magazines
- adds 3D models for dropped mags from former Ohotnik's Anomaly Magazines Extended (discontinued)
- adds lots of extra magazines from AME
- reorganises some weapon magazine groups as in AME
- adds quality of life from artifax, like outfit quickinfo (how many mags max, equipped)
- adds some extra code by artifax so you don't lose your magazine in the workshop when modifying your weapon
- adds nice mag pouch icons instead of the "stock" green dot from AM to indicate your mag's equipped
- basic Trader Overhaul compatibility patch
- compatibility patch for artifax' Weapon Parts Overhaul
- bonus weapon StG 44 (may be incompatible with lots of other mods as it changes lots of files)
- Ammo Check compatibility patches
- some extra patches for flavour addons that are not directly related to Mad Mags
- Überconfigurable thanks to Pepsifan04 and lots of extra QoL code

20210611, version 1.5.1-16

- fixed arena files: (thanks CthuluIsSpy, you get the correct magazines for the Groza now!)
- checked (no changes needed) update for OPO 1.0.6.1
- Diphenhydramine-HCl sent me a redo of iterateInventory including changing its callback handle
- Also from dph - a more elegant solution to the Quit Game->MCM menu CTD that had been provided in version -15
20210524, version 1.5.1-15
- next batch of mag pouch icons included, done by none other than HellblaueHoelle (TT-33, Vityaz, Škorpion, 1911, AN-94, Galil ACE, M82, SVD, SVU, LR-300, VSK-94 reworked)
- added error handling to iterateInventory when not in-game after playing and entering the MCM Mod Configuration Menu (thanks Diphenhydramine-HCl! It happens after a running game: -> "Quit Game" -> "MCM" crash-to-desktop)
20210521, version 1.5.1-14
- even more reworked mag pouch icons by HellblaueHoelle (on fire!)
20210520, version 1.5.1-13
- function WeaponIsMagazineFed cleaned up and corrected (code sanity reasons) by Diphenhydramine-HCl
- added even more magazine pouch icons
- magazine pouch icons for magazines that are in your loadout are now part of base install

20210519, version 1.5.1-12
- cleaned up a little of the debug info (not a feature)
- modified the runtime fix for hover-over-mag CTD crashes to catch yet another case of corrupted magazine
- fixed the code so the hover-over-mag CTD-causing magazines should never spawn again (runtime fix will stay in the code to make older savegames usable!)
- fixed some mag description mistakes due to the merging of HellblaueHoelle's work with MM (age-old error in AME's wuut_magazines.ltx)
- HellblaueHoelle did his first run on redoing my sometimes rather generic mag pouches and I think they add a lot to the character
20210518, version 1.5.1-11
- add AEK Duty (AEK-973 aka wpn_aek_duty) fix to a new internal function provided by Pepsifan04 (he reminded me of it and I forgot to check)

- Pepsifan04's rework: compatible mags for weapons, compatible ammo for mags now consistently shown in inventory!
- Configurable magazine emptying/refill speed (Pepsifan04 on fire!)
- Configurable options, when to remove magazines from loadout after reload and how empty it must be for removal (Pepsifan04 the absolute mad lad!)

20210517, verstion 1.5.1-9

- brought code back from Muh Mags that drops magazines to the ground when they're empty during reloading and player is NOT browsing his inventory (some code refactoring done)
- incorporated HellblaueHoelle's awesome magazine description texts
- removed "CMR 1f" folder because it only temporary patched BHS + FDDA. BHS introduces its own patch for the newest version.
- checked compatibility of Ammo Check patch and Powered Exos with new BHS 1.6.7 - it's OK Moddb.com
- checked compatibility with Weapon Parts Overhaul 1.6 (before 1.5.5), should touch no conflicting files Moddb.com

- a compatibility study with file changes is included as .png in the .zip archive
- added new magazines to solve the wpn_aek_duty or AEK-973 problem with non-functioning mags. You will still find the broken ones in your savegames and in traders before they restock! Throw your bad ones away and spawn them in debug mode if you need them (mag_aekduty_7.62x39_fmj is the NEW, working one)
- magazines will be removed from your outfit when empty (this is old code from Muh Mags pack that still works!).

Спасибо за мод бро! С началом новой игры заменил Anomaly Magazines на Mad Mags. Пока доволен, но немного удручает отсутсвие поддержки BaS. Планируется ли в будующем патч совместимости с BaS?
There are many good weapon addons and I haven't chosen to try one of them yet. Not very soon. I will immediately add support if I use one of them.
(auto-translated:)
Есть много хороших оружейных аддонов, и я еще не решил попробовать один из них. Не очень скоро. Я немедленно добавлю поддержку, если воспользуюсь одним из них.
hello sganon
i made a compat patch for mad mags and dialogue expanded and maybe you could check it out :D
the patch is only consist ui_item.script and quite simple
i only copy 3 function from mags patch that already provided by dialogue expanded mod and place it to ui_item.script from mad mags. the functions is placed from line 140 to 239
here is the link to the file if you want to check it out:
Drive.google.com
Hello!
Thanks - you are free to upload that patch to moddb, but I don't use Dialogue Expanded which means I can't really test it myself. I usually don't upload patches for addons I don't use.
Also - why does Dialogue Expanded change ui_item.script? Do you know by chance?
I know the get_article_name is used to show pda message after killing something. my game crashed and show the same error message as user ZenMasterFlex, you can check his comment on the second comment page.
this is the error me and he got:
FATAL ERROR
[error]Expression : <no expression>
[error]Function : CScriptEngine::lua_error
[error]File : ..\xrServerEntities\script_engine.cpp
[error]Line : 191
[error]Description : fatal error
[error]Arguments : LUA error: ...aly-1.5.1.2\gamedata\scripts\dynamic_news_manager.script:1758: attempt to call field 'get_article_name' (a nil value)
but for the other 2, i'm don't know what those function does. I never modded anomaly before and doesn't know LUA, so i don't really know if my patch is safe or not.
welp, i will upload it later to moddb after finishing my playtrough
thanks for the mad mags mod btw :D
Thanks for the effort you took!
Just be aware that I will not continue Mad Mags at all. Just in time for me being kept from Anomaly for a while, artifax' finished his Anomaly Magazines Redux, long awaited rewrite of the magazines concept.
I advise you to finish your saved game, and for a new game, consider his addon instead.
If it hasn't already been done, is there any possibility you or someone in here could make a merge/patch between the Curse of Immortality mod Moddb.com and this mod? Normal Wuut mags works, but the xr_effects.script conflicts - so when you die, the game crashes rather than respawning you.
New_game_loadouts also conflicts, but that is an easy one to fix.
[error]Expression : ai().script_engine().functor<LPCSTR>(*cb_name,fl)
[error]Function : CAnimatorCamEffectorScriptCB::Valid

My apologies; I've kept Mad Mags barely alive in anticipation of a rewrite by artifax: Anomaly Magazines Redux.
I advise you to finish your saved game, and for a new game, consider his addon instead.
Hey, sganon! Sad to see this discontinued, but c'est la vie. Anyways, I'll continue using your mod while AM Redux is still in beta. With that said, how do you change the number of magazine slots on an outfit? To be more specific, I wanna increase my Merc ACE Suit's mag slots. Thank you for this mod and for your help!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I would advise you to end/finish your saved game and then switch over to AM Redux - artifax does good lua scripting and he's active, so no waiting for wuut to fix his outdated addon.
If you're still interested, it's in Anomaly Magazines' files:
\gamedata\configs\items\wuut_loadout.ltx
...where each outfit kind is defined a capacity for magazines.
The kind of a specific outfit is in one of the outfit description files of Anomaly itself,
\gamedata\configs\items\outfits\*.ltx
Thank you so much, sganon!
Hi there, please don't delete this addon! I'm still using it because I'm in the middle of a playthrough. The reason I'm asking is because I recommend it for anyone who is using my mod (EFT Medical Items Overhaul) together with Wuut Mags, because switching midgame to Redux doesn't work. Also I'm providing my addon with a patch for Mad Mags.
Thank you!
I find that there are Mags of 35 for VSS, but for the AK family there are no mags of more than 30 rounds (of 45 or 60) that in B&S weapons if you use them.The SVD pmc there is no charger I can use.
