BMG is Browning Machine Gun, named that because the round was originally built for the M2 Browning Machine Gun

S4ro  [author] 7 Aug, 2024 @ 5:34am 
@балтика 3, i will check that even if i din't understand what recipe are you referring to
S4ro  [author] 7 Aug, 2024 @ 5:32am 
@IronLungs, if they didn't change the ammo type it should work.

im still wondering does this work with firearms b41 revamped? im about to test
Супер ZOV 6 Aug, 2024 @ 5:43am 
i've tested this mod and vfe patch. i have two gather gunpowder recipes:
1. The one you intended
2. 1 bullet = 10 gunpowder

i have loaded only your mod + patch and vfe, tried loading vfe first and then the mod and works the same

Also vanilla ammo gunpowder gathering doesnt work as you intended (uses 2 case from above)

S4ro  [author] 22 Jun, 2024 @ 3:07am 
@Skilledmaze, yes look in the crafting tab you got a recipe for charcoal other than the vanilla one.
@Hitsu, when you set up your game or server you need to add not only Mod ID: vac but add vac_fb41_patch too, like this: Mod ID: vac;vac_fb41_patch;etc... ok? remember to always put vac first!
Hitsu 21 Jun, 2024 @ 11:20am 
I know nooby question but some reason i didint get patch to work on server. I have basic ammo crafting now but not fb41.. So is it only to change config files ;vac; to ;vac_fb41_patch; or do i need both?
skilledmaze 21 Jun, 2024 @ 12:46am 
can i craft charcoal or do i find it ?
Mechavelli 2 May, 2024 @ 6:31am 
That sounds way better and balanced, thanks! I think it really just was the vanilla recipe. I'll have to avoid it in the future lol
S4ro  [author] 1 May, 2024 @ 9:59pm 
i think it's another mod, you need 30 7.62 bullet to get 1 gunpowder (10 uses) than to make a single stock of 12 gauge you need 1 gunpowder (10 units) i don't remember exactly how much 12g you get but it's like 12 or something
Mechavelli 1 May, 2024 @ 10:44am 
I think it's because I was using the vanilla "Gather gunpowder recipe", which gives you 10 units of powder per bullet. No wonder I was getting a ton lol. I don't have it on me right now, but how much gunpowder do you normally get with your mod from scrapping bullets? And, how much do I need to craft some shotgun shells?
Mechavelli 1 May, 2024 @ 10:34am 
Basically, I'd gathered around 40 rounds of 7.62, right? I went to the craft editor to check recipes for making gunpowder, and realized there were a couple recipes I could click on. I don't remember if the first ones I tried were as abundant, but there was one called "gather gunpowder" that allowed me to use it with any ammo I had. When I disassembled the 7.62, I got like 50 little jars of gunpowder and later I was able to craft 200 shells without going through a third of the gunpowder. It just gave me way too much gunpowder for what I had sacrificed to make it.

Hopefully that makes a bit more sense now. I want to know how to reduce the amount of gunpowder I get, or maybe I used the wrong recipe?
S4ro  [author] 1 May, 2024 @ 7:26am 
mmm, so when you create a ammo the number of that ammo are what you need to transform back into powder, so i don't get what are you saying, if you discard 9mm you can do whataver with the powder
Mechavelli 1 May, 2024 @ 5:31am 
Not sure if it was this mod, but when I was getting gunpowder from bullets, it gave me a lot per bullet. I basically was able to make hundreds of shotgun shells after destroying around 40 or 50 9mm and 7.62 bullets. Can I edit some of the recipes?
sandres 19 Apr, 2024 @ 12:13pm 
add vfe expansion pack (adds 5.45)
S4ro  [author] 12 Apr, 2024 @ 4:51am 
For all who ask me to patch VFE the work is done, let me know if all is good. Ty
Vinnie 8 Apr, 2024 @ 1:04pm 
I also +1 the VFE patch, since TIHFP and VFE are natively compatible with eachother. But take your time, friend.
S4ro  [author] 22 Mar, 2024 @ 2:21am 
yeah sorry for delay, got a lot of work IRL, will do that!
Abraxxus 21 Mar, 2024 @ 9:55pm 
+1 to the VFE patch :)
MELL0W 27 Nov, 2023 @ 10:43am 
np, thanks! :)
S4ro  [author] 26 Nov, 2023 @ 10:42pm 
i need to patch that still, sorry, will do soon
MELL0W 26 Nov, 2023 @ 1:11pm 
I only use VFE
S4ro  [author] 26 Nov, 2023 @ 9:17am 
depends on what 7.62 are you using from what mod, see the pach section, not all firearms mod are supported. You use them in a recipe to make the bullets
MELL0W 26 Nov, 2023 @ 8:54am 
theres no mold for 7.62. Also how do you use them?
S4ro  [author] 17 Sep, 2023 @ 4:44am 
@zelta, the difficulty of getting GunPowder depends on your sandbox settings, on my server it's quite hard so don't need to be more hard iself, i will make the patch when i got some time ye
Yub3l 17 Jun, 2023 @ 11:51pm 
Thank you so much!
S4ro  [author] 17 Jun, 2023 @ 11:49pm 
ok, i will make a patch for VFE ;)
Yub3l 17 Jun, 2023 @ 11:46pm 
@S4ro, sorry, yes that's what I meant. It's why I specified compatibility versus asking for a patch in my original comment. I apologize for the confusion.
But yes, in VFE, it adds only those two ammo types and they're all that is missing from this mod to make it patched for VFE.

I hope this clears things up, and to answer your question completely: Yes I only miss .22 and 7.62 in VFE.
S4ro  [author] 17 Jun, 2023 @ 10:37pm 
@Yub3l, yes that was to respond to a compatibility issue, but it's different from a patch. So you telling me that in VFE you only miss the .22 and 7.62?
Yub3l 17 Jun, 2023 @ 8:16am 
Hi there @S4ro! You mentioned it on Jan 18 @ 1:25am EST to the user Big Smoke, the pages are currently split for the response and the question, but when I send this comment they should be on the third page of this comment section!
S4ro  [author] 17 Jun, 2023 @ 7:50am 
hi @Yub3l, where did i mention that is compatible with VFE? :)
Yub3l 15 Jun, 2023 @ 1:50pm 
Hi there! I had noticed that you had mentioned that this is compatible with VFE, which it obviously is, but I was wondering if you planned on making a patch for the two ammo types added by the mod? I really like the fact you don't add a way to make it easier to craft charcoal and I really want to use this with VFE, but it doesn't seem like it has a patch for the two additional ammo types of .22 and 7.62 specifically in VFE.
S4ro  [author] 21 Apr, 2023 @ 3:40am 
@lolmaxcz, sorry but BRITA'S already have his crafting mechanics for ammo.
S4ro  [author] 21 Apr, 2023 @ 1:55am 
@8hoursofsleep,@malgrum, yes, this mod works with Firearms B41, you can craft all of the ammo from that mod now. ty
hadroun 20 Apr, 2023 @ 12:24pm 
could this mod be compatibile with britas ammo someday?
