Problem with shotguns
 

Hi,

I got a problem with shotguns.
No way to reload it?!?
I checked WEAPONINFO every shotguns magazine lines are :
Magazine 1 "built-in"

most of stdPlug line are :
StdPlug "Shotgun ammo clip (BI/7)"
or
StdPlug "Shotgun ammo clip (m870/4)"

Anybody's got a solution?

What problem are you having with reloading them?

They've got built in magazines, which means you have to load them from plain old rounds (like the Mosin or SKS). This is also what those lines in weaponinfo mean. Have you tried dragging a box of buckshot or loose rounds onto the gun, or pressing "A" if you've got ammo in your inventory and the gun in your hands?

Shotguns like Saigas and the USAS-12 are reloaded with magazines, just like anything else in the game.

Some rifles (Mosin, SKS) and shotguns (BM-14, Masterkey addon, Mossbergs) don't have external magazines. Instead they must be fed with individual rounds .. so from an ammo box. Even faster is to remove the ammo from the ammo box and put them in your pockets.

So basically you reload those weapons like you would refill a magazine.

If this isn't the case, are you running any mods?

Hi,

First thanks for all your advices.

As you said I'm talking about shotguns without external magazines.
I even tried to put ammo off the 12ga boxes then put in any pockets, doesn't work, I've tried to press "A", doesn't work.

@ Iceshade : I tried to run Blue sun mod but it doesn't work on my computer.

Maybe you've hard about some problems on french version?

(I installed the last patch but it were not work before that anyway).

Maybe something wrong in "WEAPONINFO" ???

Bets thing to get BSM 1.3 started:

1.UnOffical Patch 1.06 --->first unpack it in an empty folder and then paste the unpacked files into your GameDir (I will call that action "install" at the rest)
2.MapPack ---> "install"
3.BSM Pack ---> "install"

WARNING!!!
If you get an error message while executing the PatchMe.bat because of a missing dll-file, just repeat step 1. AND 3., nothing more, nothing less.
If you done so the Patchme.bat would be executed how it should be.

The thing that you cant reload your shotguns, watch this, its just a cutout but you'll see what I mean:

ITEM "USAS-12 (12ga)"
Class Shotgun
Caliber "12 caliber"
Weight 5620
PrepareTime 0.27

The line I highlighted has to look like this exactly otherwise the game wants you to reload the weapon with cocumbers or what ever ;-)
I guess in that line there stands somesthing like :
Caliber "12 calibre"
