[WotC] UI - Colored Ammo Bar

Description
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
DESCRIPTION
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Normally, to figure out what ammo a soldier has, you'd have to hover over the weapon icon to see what ammo type is equipped.

With this mod, if a soldier has an ammo utility equipped, the ammo bar in the Tactical HUD, under the weapon icon, will be colored. No more hovering over the weapon and trying to figure out what ammo type the soldier has equipped!

Here's the list of colors in hexidecimal notation sorted by ammo type:
  • AP Rounds: Grey [#A3A3A3]
  • Dragon Rounds: Red [#A30000]javascript:ValidateForm()
  • Tracer Rounds: Yellow [#D8E300]
  • Talon Rounds: Orange [#C25A00]
  • Venom Rounds: Lime-Green [#50B300]
  • Bluescreen Rounds: Blue [#006BBD]

If you have issues with this mod or spotted a bug, please report it in the Bug Report Thread. If you want to provide feedback, whether its good or bad, then post in the General Feedback Thread.

If you are thinking of downvoting this mod, please provide feedback first, so I know what I should improve on/did wrong.

So I have quite a bit of people saying they want to donate, so here's my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/E3245
I will link my Patreon for ORIGINAL mods, like this one, and not ports. I won't put my mods behind a paywall and I won't montenize my mods.

FEATURES
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
  • Colored ammo bar based on the type of ammo the soldier has equipped!

KNOWN ISSUES
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
  • No support for mods that add new ammo types. If a modder wants to add a color for his or her custom ammo type, then they can open this mod's XComGameData.ini for an example.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
TODO
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
  • Fix some bugs, if any.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
COMPATIBILITY (meaning that it works with these mods!)
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
  • It should be compatible with all UI mods, unless they drastically change UITacticalHUD.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
F.A.Q
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Q: Is it safe to add this mod in the middle of a campaign?

A: Yes! You can add it mid campaign with little to no issues. It's a UI mod.

Q: Vanilla version?

A: Not really, no.

Black Ice Rounds' color doesn't work for me. Anyone using a working code?

@RustyDios I bow before you, fellow commander!!!

See the discussion thread on "easy copy/paste configs"

hi, is there any way to add Viper ammo and Inferno ammo from flame viper - wotch?
aaandd, Black ICE Rounds from Black ICE Codex - wotc?

I fiddled with it, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't add Viper and Inferno ammos.

@zion6 LW does have -some- of the Cut Content Ammo, but Cut Content has changes applied to the overlapping ammo. The added ammo (as far as I can tell) is the AcidRounds and RiotRounds as unique to it.

This is a great idea, can someone please leave instructions how to modify this for LWotC?

This mod still displays Templar's gauntlet's as permanently having no ammo. A really nice QOL mod otherwise.

@zion6
"Cut Content Ammo" is a mod separate to LWotC, click the link Rusty added. If you use Rusty's values you need to replace the existing ones with his.

@ RustyDios
I see your current config in the discussion area, excuse my ignorance but I have a question-is the "Cut Content Ammo" part the same as the LWOTC ammos?
If I wanted to use your config (which I do) do I simply cut and paste it in the "Xcomdata.ini area below the base config?
I have a more detailed question in the "discussion" area-it would not allow me to post here....
RustyDios 22 Aug, 2021 @ 5:51am 
Literally in the discussion on lines to add to the config....
