Never autoload (BETA)

This mod is designed to prevent weapons from being automatically reloaded when sheathed/stored, Dead Eye activated, or when ammo is depleted.

Never autoload

🎮 **Version 0.9.1.2**

✨ Latest updates

• **COMPATIBILITY FIX**: Other mods that use the 'R' key should now work properly (provided you don't have a weapon equipped).
• **Optimize item usage**: Ensure that the mod does not interfere with the use of non-weapon items such as lasso, fishing rod, etc.
• **Improved HUD display**:
• Ammo counters are now hidden along with other HUD elements, such as during kill shots.
• When you are wanted, the ammo counter moves to the left to avoid overlapping with the wanted HUD element.
• *Note: This feature is still a work in progress and placement may not be perfect at different resolutions. If needed, .ini options can be added in the future for fine-tuning. *

🎯 Three core functions of the module

1. **Disable Death Eye auto-reload**

Weapons will not auto-reload when Dead Eye is activated.

💡 You can disable this feature in the `.ini` file.

2. **Disable automatic reloading when holstered weapon**

The weapon does not automatically reload when holstered or stored on horseback.

The mod remembers the five weapons of each type you have recently equipped (e.g. the last 5 revolvers) and keeps track of their ammo counts.

**⚠️Known issues:**

• When dual-wielding two identical weapons, one of them may auto-reload (the mod currently only tracks one of each weapon).
• Not compatible with LeMat revolvers.

3. **Disable automatic reloading when ammunition is exhausted**

This is the most complex part of the functionality, if you only want to use the first two features you can disable this individually in the `.ini` file.

**Important Note:**

• The ammo counter in the original version of the game will show the wrong number - this is a necessary trick to achieve "disable auto-reloading" and may not be fixed.
• To this end, I made a **custom ammunition counter**, but it can only display the ammunition currently in the firearm, not the total amount in the backpack (refer to the picture or video for the effect).
• You can disable my custom counter in `.ini`. But if you enable it, the vanilla ammo counter must be turned off in the game settings.

**⚠️ Other known issues: **

• Custom ammo counter position may vary depending on monitor resolution/scale, you can correct this manually in the `.ini` file.
• Single shot rifles will still autoload.
• Not fully compatible with Mauser pistols, LeMat revolvers, and John's Minotaur revolvers.
• When a certain type of ammunition is completely depleted, the last round may become lodged in the gun. Putting away and re-equipping the weapon resolves this issue.
• Not tested on special weapons, gang weapons or mod weapons.

🔧 Compatibility Notes

This mod disables the normal reload key (R key) when you equip a firearm. If other mods use the reload button, it only works when you are unarmed.

**Advice to modders:**

You can make your mod work when the reload button is disabled by using the following code:

`PAD::IS_DISABLED_CONTROL_JUST_RELEASED(0, key("INPUT_RELOAD"))`
