Placing AlTernate Rounds Over Normal - This mod replaces the ammo icons with individual, realistic, unique, and vanilla-friendly ones.
Placing AlTernate Rounds Over Normal - This mod replaces the ammo icons with individual, realistic, unique, and vanilla-friendly ones. You may be thinking "This looks just like the B.I.R.D. mod by Rex1534!" That's because it is, but with different icons and no description changes. He gave me permission to make my own version, but all the code is straight from him so he deserves all the credit. Each icon is right from Escape From Tarkov (as well as some that I frankenstiened together out of real photos and Tarkov icons)
To install this, DLTX is *highly* recommended. I couldn't get the non-DLTX version to work, but I released it as an option because it's part of B.I.R.D.. To install, first install one of the base versions (again, the DLTX version is recommended) and then install the B&S patch if you use it, then pick out of the four options - any combination of text labels/no labels and visibly worn old ammo/clean-looking old ammo.
Changelog:
1.1.1: Fixed the mistake where some old 7.92x57mm ammo would use the texture of its clean variant.
1.1: Added B&S Patch (again based off of BIRD by Rex1534) and removed the VOG-25 and RPG-7 rocket so they will use the default icons now. The installation has changed slightly, so open the folder that says "DLTX Version" or "Non-DLTX Version" to find the base and the B&S patch next to each other.
Here's a preview of the labels+worn old ammo version:
I love it.
Thank you Stalker!
Nice Mod man! Nobody is more Smart as a Bullet!!
Thanks :)
any chance for a bas patch or nah
Sure, I can make that. It might be a couple days but check back and eventually It'll be out.
I too would like a BaS patch please
Done
Okay turns out that took a couple hours instead of a couple days. I'm uploading it now.
One answer, what is DLTX?
It's a mod that allows files to be edited without getting rid of what's already there. If you'd like to install it here you go: Moddb.com
very nice
Sweet, thank you for the fast BaS patch
Of course! Have fun, Stalker!
Compatible with efp 3.0?
I should be, I can't think of a reason why not
it does work, nice
How were you able to install on EFP 3.0? It doesn’t work for me, I tried DLTX and non-DLTX, the ammo are still standard, only the BaS icons change
Make it 'friendly' to ModOrganizer.
I use Mod Organizer, you just have to actually open the file and configure the mod beforehand.
do you know if it works with gboobs
It should work, but the icons and labels won't be matching. Sometime I might make a GBOOBS version but it'll take a lot of work.
I went through all the icons/ammo descriptions and only M855, 7N10 and 9x18 +P+ icons would have to be changed for GBOOBS. Also old 7.92x57mm SA AP has white text instead of yellow.
Okay, I might be able to do it but I'm on a trip right now so it'll be a while. Yeah I fixed that, it was a code issue from the original BIRD mod, I'll upload it when I'm back home with my PC.
it seems that black uncut parts are visible on the 7.62x54 pp icon
That's the machine gun belt. If you look at a PKM ammo belt in-game or IRL, the rounds each have a little black boolet sweater on them that connects to all the others, that's the belt.

In what context did you get this error?
NICE looks great, thanks for sharing
Unfortunately, in the version without inscriptions, not all inscriptions are missing. And in the standard one, new icons of grenade launchers and underbarrel shots are not displayed. Version anomaly 1.5.2 Boomsticks 2 oct 2022
Thank you for your work. You have 6 ammo sections missing. I corrected myself by adding. And that's how you need to make them.
I'll have a look at the files, it might be a 1.5.2 thing because this mod is for 1.5.1. Thanks for reporting this.
Sorry that's me I forgot to log in
I checked - it seems you're looking at the files only, not in-game. The rockets and grenades are not changed by this mod anymore, they use whatever icons you use normally.
would it be possible to do a arti's ballistic's patch?
Do you mean Grok's ballistics?
nah arti's, its in the new efp, i think its on github? thought that these ammo icons would be real slick with the new efp version
I'll look for it and see what I can do.
Nice work man
Thank you Stalker!
doesnt work , only black squares
You have to install the textures, you likely only installed the framework.
Finally, my boolet can outsmart my enemys with S T Y L E
please make icons for the mod - Arti's Special Ammo + Ammo Rebalance for GAMMA
I can give it a shot, but you'll have to send me those files. I'm a Desolation guy these days and I don't want to download the 60-something-gigabyte GAMMA files. Just shoot me a DM when you can!))
