Easy Ammunition 1.3.0

This mod changes ammo colors based on their strength and is designed for the server side, so it doesn't need frequent updates. It's inspired by Faupi - Munitions Expert, and focuses on being simple and compatible with Single Player Tarkov.

Easy Ammunition

Features:

Assign background colours to ammunition items based on their penetration values. This allows players to quickly identify the best ammunition without having a PHD in ammunition engineering. This mod is a streamlined server-side adaptation of Faupi - Munitions Expert.


This mod is compatible with Color Converter API. This server-side mod will allow you to use hex colour codes to assign background colours. It's highly recommended, but not required.

  • Hey so i noticed some issues with certain bullets that the color doesnt get shown properly and it stays gray, ist mostly bullets that have exactly 30 or 40 pen, im using color converter API but idk if the issue lies with the API or the mod here, so mb if the mod isnt the issue.

    So is this a known issue or how can i fix it?

    • Can you give me an example of a ammunition type that isn't being coloured correctly? Also, have you updated the configuration at all, or is it untouched?

    • everything is updated. i had problems with rounds like .366 EKO and 4.6x30 FMJ SX specifically but i saw a few others that i don't know the name of, i tried changing around the values in the config for some tiers to see if it helps but it only fixed like 2 or 3 rounds

    • okay i looked for some again and i found that 7.62x39 FMJ, 7.62x54R FMJ. 5.45x39 T, .45 Match and Lasermatch FMJ, 7.62x39 SP, .300 BLK V-max, 5.7 L191 and SS197SR, 9x19 PST, 9x39 SP6 and 9x21 BT dont have their correct color, and those are just the bullets that i can see

  • :thumbup::thumbup:<3

  • download seems broken :(

  • would it be possible to add damage for coloring so we can differentiate betwen ammo with the "same" pen ?


    example:

    • While not a bad idea on the surface, it does raise issue. I would like this mod to remain server-only so that updates are only rarely needed. There are only so many colours available to the server to use, and most of them are used by default due to the large number of different ammunition types. Adding more/different colours would require a client-side modification and unfortunately this is out of the initial scope of the mod. This could change in the future, but there are currently no plans. Sorry.

  • Can someone running Realism confirm that this version of the config file is using the correct colours?

    https://downloadthisfor.me/spt…nfig-realism/config.json5


    If so, I'll include it in the config folder as an option.

    • This is indeed the same color configuration as the SPT Realism Ammo Stats mod's default one.

    • Thanks! It'll be included in the next release.

  • pls update for realism mod.

    • An example configuration file for use with the Realism mod is now included in v1.1.1.

  • EasyAmmunition: Error loading configuration. Unexpected token ':' No changes made.

    • Same error not working.

    • Can one of you DM me your config.json5 file? The default config seams to be working fine for me.

    • Done

    • A hotfix has been pushed for this. Please try the v1.1.1 download again to see if the issue has been resolved.

    • Unless the file didn't upload correctly (since it does not show any update on the page), nope same problem.

  • Would this work with the adjusted ammo values for Realism mod? Thanks.

    • It absolutely should, yes. If you have any issues be sure to adjust the mod order so that this mod loads below any other mod that’s adjusts ammunition.


      I recommend this tool to help:

      hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/1082/

  • image.png
    Not sure what else to show.

    • By the look of the error message, you may have an invalid character at the beginning of your config file. If you can't figure it out, feel free to paste a copy if your config file so I can test it on my end.

  • I hope to get rid of the blablabla error bug with this mod. Though, I would like the color scheme to be identical to SPT Realism Ammo Stats instead. How would I go about this?

    Custom icon colours:

    (penetration value): colour of icon ingame

    0 - 29: brown

    30 - 49: red

    50 - 59: yellow

    60 - 69: green

    70 - 79: blue

    80 - 200: violet

    • Stay tuned. I will add configurable ranges and colours in the next version.

    • This is now possible in the v1.1.0 release.
