Easy Ammo Names 1.0.9

Please do not ask when mod authors will update their mods to 3.10 or if they can upload older versions of their mods.
Bothering mod authors will lead to warnings and repeat offenses will lead to eventual bans.

A simple mod that renames ammunition in SPT so that it's easier to identiy.

  • A cursory check shows this working with 3.10 as long as you change the package version. The game loads and the ammo is given the shortened, sensible names that I wanted. I didnt check in raid and I cannot confirm if it works 100% of the time without issues. If you choose to use this dont bother McDewgle if any issues arise from it

  • Wehn i download it only gives me an user/mods file. And the names dont change. :(
    Nice idea and mod though

    • Yes. That is normal. Just drag and drop the user folder into your SPT directory as shown in the How To Install section of this mod page.


      Same installation process as most of the mods on this website.

    • But this would delete all other mods wont it?

    • No. That's not how it works. FOLDERS do not overwrite each other, only FILES do. When you drag and drop the USER folder into your SPT directory, Windows will MERGE both USER folders together along with all of their contents.

      If you do it right, you should see EASY AMMO NAMES in your user\mods folder.

    • Hm, I did it the same as in the video, but it the ammo names wont change.
      Does the mod conflict with some other mods? Like ammo stats in desc.?

    • You need to close the game & server before installing mods.

  • =O only use the mod for en?

  • Skill issue fixer? :D

    • In a way, yes! But this mod also renames a lot of ammunition in the game to their real world counterparts that BSG was "inspired" by but spoofed the name to avoid copyright issues.

      Also included are new descriptions for some of the ammunition :whistling:

    • Ah then it makes sense! :D

  • Thank you. @McDewgle! Great mod, enjoyed it so much on 3.8x. Looking forward to 3.9x version, when it becomes available!

  • Absolute insanity! Haha wow.. again, how come so many quality of life mods are just hidden throughout the rest ;) guess cause you guys are always testing out ideas etc.. LOVE THIS it's crazy how much time this saves. THANK YOU:!:

  • Could it have any conflicts with the AMMO STATS IN DESCRIPTION mod?

    • Not that I'm aware of, have you tried?

    • I tried and there are no issues so far. Everything is showing for both mods as it should!

  • Just noticed we're missing 9x39 FMJ (6576f96220d53a5b8f3e395e)


    and 9x21 7U4 (6576f93989f0062e741ba952)


    I can save you/anyone else some trouble:


    Code
    "6576f96220d53a5b8f3e395e": {
            "Name": "9x39mm FMJ",
            "ShortName": "9x39 FMJ",
            "Description": ""
        },
"6576f93989f0062e741ba952": {
            "Name": "9x21mm 7U4",
            "ShortName": "9x21 7U4",
            "Description": ""
        },

    • Thank you for finding this! While adding this fix I also noticed some ammo boxes missing for 7.62x54mm. I'll add it to the next update :thumbup:

  • is there a way to change the font size for the ammo's ?

    • Not that I'm aware of, sorry :<

  • Links to old versions of the mod do not work

    • If you're worried about backwards compatibility, the latest version should work just fine on 3.7.6

  • Hello my friend,

    i tried to use mod, but it didnt work, no changes in shortcut ammo names.

    I use mods "softcore", "ammo stats in description" and "loot value" - all of them implement features related to ammo browsing in inventory or stash. I think there is an incompatibility somewhere (my first thought it is softcore).

    PS tried to change mod order, didnt help.

    • I'll look into that when I get the chance and let you know what I find :thumbup:

    • I tried an install with just these mods and everything seemed to be working? Do you have any errors in your server console?

    • Also is your game language in english?

    • > Also is your game language in english?


      No. This matters, i guess.


      Tried 1.0.7 still doesnt work, so. I need to have ENG version to run it. Case cracked.

    • I'll work on a fix, sorry about that. I'm going to add a config option where you'll specify the locale you're using and that'll apply the new names to that language instead of only the English localization

  • I know I've pushed a lot of updates out in the past couple of days, mostly correcting minor errors in the naming scheme or fixing the download link, I hope it hasn't been too annoying.


    Thank you so much for your patience with me, thank you for reporting all the errors you've found and I really hope you enjoy the mod <3

  • Hello, FYI the current download link leads to an item that Google says is in your trash

  • in package.json

    change the akiversion to -> 3.8.0 ( my was 3.7.6 and skipped all the mods )

    • SHIT! Good catch, fixed and thank you 8|

  • Quick question, is the "TT P" ammo caliber762x25TT supposed to be shortend to .45 M?

    • Fixed and updated, thanks for catching that!

  • Love the mod, however i have a small gripe with the naming you have made for some of the ammo, for instance the 5.56x45mm NATO rounds you simply renamed them green, orange, red, black, steel and open tip same with the 4.6x30mm rounds, id like to point out that most players would refer to these as a already known shortened variant of their own, take the 5.56 rounds for instance, the green tip would not be green but simply shortened to M855, the orange tip to M856, the red tip to M856A1 or 56A1, The black tip to M995 and the AP to SSAAP, i feel this would be much better naming and stop any confusion, personally i don't think reinventing the wheel so to speak in this situation makes it easier to identify, if anything its making players such as myself have to relearn bullet names all over again, which is why i downloaded this mod to help make it faster when looting, im now taking longer to try and figure out what im actually grabbing.

    TL;Dr, please name the bullets based off the actual names (in game) and not just by how they look its confusing and not helpful, this mod would be perfect if the names were just shortened from the actual names.

    • The original intent behind this mod was to create something that made the ammunition easier for me to identify so I made this mod with my personal preferences in mind. Some users on the SPT Discord enjoyed the changes, so here it is.

      However, I did take the time to set aside instructions for anyone who wishes to change the naming system to something they prefer. It's quite easy actually, the entries for 5.56 ammo are at the very top of the config file. To revert the long names to their original simply delete the text between the two commas "" like so;

      "Name": "5.56x45mm Varmageddon"
      to
      "Name": ""


      Fun fact, the "Warmageddon" ammunition is based on a real cartridge designed for varmint-hunting hence the original name "Varmageddon" by the Nosler company. Same company that makes the 7.62x51mm "Nosler Partition" cartridge in Tarkov.

      I also renamed many of the shotgun shells after their real life counterparts that BSG spoofed to avoid copyright infringement.
