[VScript] Realistic Reload Magazine

Realistic Reload Magazine brings an authentic, tactical magazine-based ammunition system to Left 4 Dead 2.

Unlike the vanilla ammo reserve pool where loose bullets magically transfer between magazines, every primary weapon now utilizes distinct magazines. Performing a tactical reload discards any unspent rounds remaining in your current magazine and inserts a fresh, full magazine from your reserve!

⚠️ Note on Compatibility: Pure VScript addon functioning in Singleplayer and Local Host / Listen Servers. Dedicated servers require server-side installation.

⚡ Key Features

• Tactical Magazine System: Reloading consumes 1 full magazine and fills your clip. Any bullets left in your dropped magazine are discarded!
• Custom Magazine HUD Icon: Replaces the vanilla bullet icon at the bottom-right of your weapon HUD with a crisp, authentic magazine icon next to your reserve count.
• Live In-Game Chat Commands: Adjust magazine capacities or shotgun shell limits on-the-fly directly in chat without restarting (e.g. [code]!ak47_mag_max 12[/code]).
• Full Clip On Mag Insert Sync: Seamlessly integrates with Full Clip On Mag Insert—clip fills the instant the mag clicks in, enabling realistic reload cancels.
• Keep Ammo On Reload Sync: Natively supports Keep Ammo On Reload—interrupting reloads before mag insertion safely preserves remaining rounds.
• Smart Refill Compensation (+1 Mag): Refilling at ammo piles with a partial clip grants +1 extra magazine (e.g. 25/10 on an AK-47) to replace your chambered mag, smoothly returning to full reserve on your next reload.
• Custom Clip Script Support: Adapts to weapon mods with custom [code]clip_size[/code] (e.g. 30-rnd M16s or 75-rnd AK drums) and recalculates reserves dynamically.
• Shotgun Top-Offs & Custom Reserve: Shotguns reload shell-by-shell without discarding ammo; players top off freely with customizable reserve capacity.
• Preserved Weapon States: Dropping or swapping weapons preserves exact magazine counts and clip status without entity recycling bugs.
• Fully Customizable: Easily adjust magazine counts and shotgun reserve ammo via in-game chat commands or a simple configuration file.
