How to make patches yourself if you don't want to wait for me to have time to work on this.
Spoiler:

For each bolt you want to patch, you need to create a new Projectile record. Create a new Magic Effect record and link the Projectile. Create a new Spell and link the Magic Effect.
Then go to OHCF_Bolts_Ammo_List and add the Ammo record from the original mod to the formlist. Go to OHCF_Bolts_Spell_List and add the Spell record you created to the formlist. Go to OHCF_Bolts_Projectile_List and add the Projectile record you created to the formlist.
For what exact data the records should contain, compare to the records added for the vanilla bolts in OHCF, or in the CC Rare Curios patch, as well as the original Projectile record (the one in the mod that's adding the bolt) and use common sense to replicate.
Instead of adding the required records to the formlists through ESP, you could use an FLM INI instead to maximize compatibility with other mods' patches.
You can also optionally add the bolts to the HandCrossbowBolts leveled lists.
Yes, what GroundAura said is correct. The important part is that the FormID # of the spell, projectile and ammo need to match in all three form lists.
The patch template I made has a bunch of records already linked to save some time. Just copy over the required data from the original mod's projectile (make sure the Can Be Picked Up flag is off), rename the EditorIDs to match, delete the unused forms, and add the used forms to the FLM ini.
In OHCF v4.0 a "left" version of the spell is required. Copy the "right" version of the spell and change the 2nd effect from the "right" magic effect to the "left" magic effect. Then add the "left" spell to the "left spell formlist". I updated my patch template accordingly.
The DX Faction cross bow patch doesn't appear to be working for me. What skill issue could i be running into? The esp is very high priority with nothing overwriting. The 2 rare curios esps ARE working as intended despite being lower priority.
I'm having really weird and specific problem with this patch. And i'm not sure if it's a bug or some unimplemented feature between different versions of the mod (or maybe it's Skyrim being Skyrim moment), so i post it here and not in the bug section. So... I've patched Rare curious(+extended), lustmord, silver and sneak tools bolts. Rare, lustmord and silver work just fine, but when i try to shoot any bolts from sneak tools mod, game says that i don't have needed bolts to use on ohc. I've tried using old version patch for sneak tools specifically, but then game play the sound of shooting a bolt and crashes. So old version is no go. I've tried to setting up specific load order - moving the patch right after sneaktools.esp, placing it after and before waccf patch for sneak tools, using it with or without sneaktoolsrecipechanger,esp and every other possible combo. I've compared Flm's files for 2.0 and 4.0 versions of sneak tools patch - newer one has one new formlist (OHCF_Bolts_Spell_Left_List) with a bunch of parameters and other lists have #hasSneakToolsOHCFPatch at the end (other patches have similar # so i guess it's how it's supposed to work), but everything else seems identical to me. Hope it all makes sense so far. The only thing i haven't tried that comes to my mind, is to try comparing esp files directly and somehow alter them. Not that a person should do it at any point, if he doesn't know what he's doing (and i certainty have no idea how to do that without breaking everything) I haven't found any mentions about somebody else having similar problem and i actually don't know, what is wrong - like i said, every other patch works just fine. If anybody here have any idea how to fix it or if mod's author is looking for feedback on his mod and might address it at some point in the future - that'd be great. I'm mostly interested in using ohc for sneaky bs so it really sucks, that the most needed feature doesn't work.
I'm not sure what's happening exactly. I can't seem to replicate the problem myself. Right now I have 2 ideas. 1) What version of OHCF are you using? The patches will only work with v4+ of OHCF. 2) Maybe try removing the "|#hasSneakToolsOHCFPatch" at the end of the 4 lines in "OHCF - Sneak Tools_FLM.ini".
No worries, glad that you've actually looked into the problem. Sometimes users aren't that lucky
1) I'm running 4.1 version of OHCF and 2.4.4 version of Sneak tools. 2) It just works (c) Dunno who or why, but removing |#hasSneakToolsOHCFPatch did the thing for me, which is funny, cause at first i removed only #hasSneakToolsOHCFPatch part and it didn't do anything (i didn't notice | at first, my bad), but it works and that's all that matters. Thanks for your help and for this amazing mod in the first place
Ok. I have tried and I just am not familiar enough with SSEDIT to use the template. I am trying to patch the Ivory bolt from Hunter born but I cant figure it out. Please add it to the list. Thank you!
The CC Rare Curios patch doesn't do anything different as of now. You can ignore it, or use both and overwrite either way. The Rare Curios - Bolts Expanded patch does do more and you should skip/overwrite the patch from the main page with mine. It adds support for the Improved Bonemold bolts added in Bolts Expanded v1.5. I will also be updating it to fix a minor bug of regular Bonemold bolts shooting Orcish bolts that is present even when using older versions of Bolts Expanded.
It's also important to note that OHCF just got a v4.0 update that requires patches to be rewritten. I will be updating this mod shortly to support that update. Edit: Update released.
Sorry if it wasn't clear, but this mod is an addon to One-Handed Crossbow Framework. OHCF adds 1H crossbow functionality as well as 1H versions of vanilla crossbows and has a patch for 1H versions of CC crossbows. Bolts require special patches to be able to be fired from 1H crossbows.

Also i don't know what elemental destruction.esp doing here, since the mod doesn't require Listmanipulator (at least directly), but whatever
I'm not sure what's happening exactly. I can't seem to replicate the problem myself. Right now I have 2 ideas.
1) What version of OHCF are you using? The patches will only work with v4+ of OHCF.
2) Maybe try removing the "|#hasSneakToolsOHCFPatch" at the end of the 4 lines in "OHCF - Sneak Tools_FLM.ini".
1) I'm running 4.1 version of OHCF and 2.4.4 version of Sneak tools.
2) It just works (c)
Dunno who or why, but removing |#hasSneakToolsOHCFPatch did the thing for me, which is funny, cause at first i removed only #hasSneakToolsOHCFPatch part and it didn't do anything (i didn't notice | at first, my bad), but it works and that's all that matters.

The Rare Curios - Bolts Expanded patch does do more and you should skip/overwrite the patch from the main page with mine. It adds support for the Improved Bonemold bolts added in Bolts Expanded v1.5. I will also be updating it to fix a minor bug of regular Bonemold bolts shooting Orcish bolts that is present even when using older versions of Bolts Expanded.
It's also important to note that OHCF just got a v4.0 update that requires patches to be rewritten. I will be updating this mod shortly to support that update. Edit: Update released.
I guess I'm getting old now huh hahaha
