FO3Edit basic instructions

Open FO3Edit, this mod, and mods you wish to add ammo from if needed.
Be sure this mod loads after the others.
...
--- To add ammo to a list from a new mod ..

(1)
In the left pane, right click this mod, "Add Masters..."
Select the mods you'd like to add ammo from.
Click okay.

(1b)
Alternately, if you plan to rename the ammunition, you can copy them as overrides into this mod and it will automatically ask to add the new mod as a master

In the left pane ..
.. Select all the munitions you wish to copy as overrides

Right Click on a munition .. "Copy as override into...."
.. choose this mod, click okay

(2)
Open the ammunition tree of the mod you wish to add ammo from, or of this mod if you've copied them as overrides into it
.. Select a munition in the left pane.
.. In the right pane, select the "FormID" row.
.. Press CTRL+C .. this will copy the form id to the clipboard.

(3)
Open the "FormID List" tree of this mod and select the List you'd like to add the ammo to
In the right pane ..
.. Right click the "FormIDs" row, "Add"
.. Right click the new "NULL - Null Reference [00000000]", "Edit"
.. Right click in the text box and paste the previously copied FormID (or CTRL+V )
Click okay.

(3b)
Remember to set the zAWeight## variable that goes with the list if you added ammo to an empty list.

==============
That's it. The ammo will now be calculated in with the rest.

It's also possible to change the weight an existing munition gets by and adding it to a different list, and removing it from it's previous list.

Unfortunately it does have to be done one at a time like that in FO3Edit.

These changes need to be made before starting a new game; or before playing again after making a clean save without this mod in it.

default console key is Tilde
~

set zAWeight01 to 0.04

the length of time you need to hold the keys down depends on how much time was left until the next weight check

A little bit of scripting knowledge and a FOSE+Command Extender Enabled GECK is all that's needed to change the hardcoded values that are displayed as the ammo weight.

The main "Name Suffix" display scripting is inside the Quest zAWQOptions stage 121 .. all existing values are already there.
They can be altered or added to, then reloaded with a clean save and a settings option.

The main UI display script is in zAWQUIScript .. and uses the existing lists to set the display values.
If the ammo is already in a list, the associated value for that list will be displayed.

The 4 "blank" lists included have already been written into that script with an arbitrary value.
That value is the only thing that needs to be changed for the correct weight associated with those lists to be displayed in the UI.

It doesn't seem to be possible to make these dynamic.
SetUIFloat less than 1 is displayed as zero ..
SetUIString is set as that string without interpretation or 'numeric' value.
setName works the same.

The only exception to this seems to be when using internal strings as the set value.

This information can be found exactly as is in a dummy script in the esp itself
