📋 About This Mod

Exactly that! Ammo has weight, takes space in your inventory and the weights are displayed in UI similar to Ammo on Hardcore mode in NV.

IM breaking off another piece of my mod again for you guys since is a handy thing some people might enjoy this for more realism immersion harder game more fun times etc etc

Again, very basic minimal mod. Does one thing. Makes ammo take space in your inventory as well as displays the individual ammo weight in the UI under Weight section like any other item in the game. When you load this mod it just stars working there are no menus no options to set nothing.

In the screenshots you see 90 x 10mm at 0. 03 each that's actually 2. 7 but my weight goes up/down by 2 because final value is rounded down .

Weights are displayed in container interface, barter interface and pipboy inventory interface but not in world game 2 box interface in the middle cause I just never modified that.

I tested the standalone version for me it worked fine, the component in the original mod works fine as well. If you having any problems please let me know I probably forgot to include something but hopefully is all good and I copied it right.

A WORD OF CAUTION This mod will reset your container menu, inventory menu, and barter menu to vanilla. This mod only works with vanilla menus. Do not install if you don't want this!

In order for this mod to work and work properly  you need:

2. Use default vanilla UI. Can be made to work on other UIs but someone needs to spend time doing it. I like it simple I go for as basic/default as possible never bothered with fancy UIs.

3. Do not use mods that modify vanilla Ammo in any way. Well. This can be easily fixed. The mod changes the icons for ammo types to lower down in the resource tree. What it does it it uses the path to count how many letters are in the path and figure out what type of ammo the mouse is pointing at. The weirdest thing but it works. In order to have this be compatible with other mods like FOOK or FWE  someone needs to make it CALIBR compatible and add the other CALIBR ammos in the calculation/display logic. Too much trouble for me I don't care. Im happy with default stuff. Which brings me to part 2 

You're welcome to modify this any way you want include it anywhere as long as you credit Darn and   OnmyojiOmn as they both seem to have worked on the ui displaying part. You don't need to credit it me. Is all up to you really.  But make sure if you do anything with this credit those 2 people . Thanks.

Credits and History of this component/mod: Ammo weights has been a subject of much hard work and trouble for a lot of people and has been back in the day and a highly requested mod.  The most functional one is in FWE I believe but it doesn't display the weights in the UI and instead modifies the name of each weigh
