Potatoes' Better Mag Release

Better Mag Release is a mod that makes reloading just a bit more fun, to mimic how firearms are reloaded in real life!

Paddle Release

Paddle release guns must have their magazines removed by grabbing the mag and pressing down on touchpad with the hand holding the mag.

EX: AK47.

Eject Release

Eject release guns must be ejected by pressing down on the touchpad with your firing hand. Grabbing the magazine does not release the mag!

However, you can grab the magazine and ejecting it will drop it right into your hand.

EX: AR15 Style Rifles

Foregrip Release

This allows certain guns that are held by the magwell, such as the MP40, to have their magazines released directly from the foregrip! Simply press down on the touchpad with your supporting hand holding the foregrip, and it will eject the mag!

Extracting Rounds

While every break action weapon in vanilla H3 will eject their rounds when you open it, in real life this isn't always true. In some shotguns, rounds will stay in the shotgun and you gotta pluck them out yourself.

Or, instead of grabbing them with your hand, you can create a shucking movement- similar to shaking shells out of a revolver, simply yank your gun backwards and they'll pop out under inertia.

EX: Wells 1864

Note: Compatible with streamlined mode!

v3.0.0 - Foregrip Release!

This update adds a new feature- Foregrip release! Guns that are primarily supported by holding the magwell, such as the MP40 or M3 Grease Gun will now allow users to eject a mag directly by pressing down on the touchpad while holding the foregrip! As a comparison, in vanilla H3 you would have to release the foregrip and grab the mag. Now, you can simply eject from the foregrip into your hand.

Additions

• Foregrip Release added
• Config entry added to disable foregrip release

Bug Fixes

• #1: BMR will now not replace magwells that are secondary. This fixes BMR breaking extra mag slots on guns such as the Scout's stock.

Metadata Update

The following guns have been added to support foregrip release:

MP40
Vigneron

v4.0.0 - Extracting and Shucking!

This update adds a new feature- Extracting rounds and shucking!

(This only applies to guns that extract IRL. Guns that eject IRL are untouched.)

For the uninitiated, while every break action weapon in H3 will eject their rounds when you open it, in real life this isn't always true. Rounds will stay in the shotgun and you gotta pluck them out yourself.

Or, instead of grabbing them with your hand, you can create a shucking movement- similar to shaking shells out of a revolver, simply yank your gun backwards and they'll pop out under inertia.

(An additional side note- this update isn't entirely complete. I'm hoping to add derringers and other types of guns to allow extracting versions in the future, but as i will be unable to mod for a while, i had to push this out.)

Additions

• Extracting rounds added
• Config entry added to disable extracting rounds
• Config entry added to disable shucking
• Config entry added to change shucking strength required (higher makes it more difficult to shuck, but reduces chances for accidental shucking, and vice versa)

Metadata Update

Extracting Rounds

The following guns have been added to support extracting:

BreakActionShorty
BreakActionSuperShorty
DoubleBarrel1882
HammerlessLong
IZh18_20g
IZh18_12g_Short
