Ammunition Error!

[TheOldMonkeyman]

Hello guys,
my problem is that a friend of me (Solixt -> Shattered Lands) made a new ammuntion type the cluster ammunition..
now the thing is that the shell is in the jag (Where the shells are choosable in the vehicles) but his cluster shell is not really "there" when you click on it nothing happens just when you go in the vehcle inventory and choose manually the cluster round you can use it. Somebody knows how to fix this thing? I hope my english is not to bad to not understand me.
Thanks in advance,

I havent dont custom ammo and make sure it all works in interface properly but I suspect it has something tod do with files under resource\properties or set\ YOu should look into GSM mod and how they did HEAT ammo and how they made sure its seleectable through changing ammo in a cycle etc... best way is to extract all files under resource from gamelogic.pak and use a txt raw search app where you an search for strings related to normal ammo and see all the files that have anything to do with it then go through them see where stuff is defined etc. Although I am sure some people here know what to do, GL!

I'm quite good with ammo if your still having troubles then simply describe the problem in further detail or send me a copy of the files and I'll do my best to help

OK I try now to describe it more in depth.I hope you understand the problem with the help of the pictures. Click on the pictures and then again chlick on the luope to see where my mousecourser is.




OK in this picture you can see, that I tried to choose the AP round (imagine it would be the cluster round). Now the problem is as already mentioned in the post before that I can click it but nothing happens. The shell doesn't get loaded.



In this picture I went now in the vehicle inventory to choose the AP (Cluster) Shell. If I click the shell now twice it will be loaded. The question is now what is the bug that I can't load the shell without the inventory?

Hope you understood me now better?
Thanks in advance,

ps. the pictures were not taken in shattered lands they were taken with totaler krieg 1939-1945

Hi,

Have you already modified the tank's .def file?

{extender "inventory"
{box
{item "ammo bullet75 ap" 35}
{item "ammo bullet75 fg" 25}
{item "ammo bullet75 apcr" 5}
{item "ammo mgun" 3150}
}
}
Maybe you should add the type of ammo to these rows.

I'd like to join the problem

I have made a new ammo for 85 mm gun, everything works fine but same as others, I can't select it via menu. I have to go to inventory and there select new ammo. What do I have to do to make it work?
