I've modded some ammo in my vanilla JA2 that use existing ammo types, like a 45-round magazine of 5.45mm rounds and a 20-round magazine of 5.7mm, stuff like that.
As this is JA2, I was careful not to make more than 2 different ammo sizes for the same ammo type.
However, when I load the same ammo type into a weapon with a lower or higher mag capacity, I get a different item when I unload the weapon. So, if I try to load the P90 with a 20-round AP mag, even if I load the weapon to full capacity, the item I get when I unload it is a 20-round HP mag. If I load that back into the P90, I'll get a .45 cal pistol mag when I unload it.
This only happens when I load a weapon with my modded mags if they are not of the same mag capacity of the weapon. The item I get is always the next item in the data list (in this case, the item I modded is 78, followed its HP variant at 79, then the .45 pistol mag at number 80). If I load the appropriate mag size to the weapon then it will unload normally.
Is there anyway to get around this? Something with the special offset value?

Quote:It's quite convoluted once you realise that any change in that list equates to a marathon map cleanup. Therefore it's highly important to get your item build right first before altering the maps. There's nothing worse than altering all the maps to find you missed something
Can anyone elaberate/explain this a bit more?
What happens to the maps?
What happens to a map when you mod or rename a weapon?
I am now in the process of modding my weapons and ammo.I have not travelled out of A9 recently, still modding and starting new game alot.

"Even if you just insert one (like the 100rd mag) ALL subsequent mags would then be out of order and any placed weapons and ammo in maps from that ItemXXX onwards would be out of sync."
Is this the only problem?
I'll be safe if I'm only replace items?
