Could you tell me how to take ammo from previous weapon when picking same gun or same ammo, what is the
difference between the original game?

these procdure is automatically, the weapon your newer pick always got ammo by transfer from previous weapon, so finally previous weapon actually reduce ammo, many time you wont notice that, otherwise you or another player use different ammo type to pick that,
on the vanilla game, it has these priority
1)always pick difference weapon.
2)always pick difference skin but same weapon(from The Last Stand update, few weapons has skin).
3)always pick difference upgrade weapon.
4)otherwise same gun, pick the larger ammo one.
5)above situation failed, them didnt pick.
above 5 situation you finally encounter chosen, usually choose the more ammo one, so ammo transfer is plugin primary todo

Thanks for you reply, I've got what happend with it, at the first time, I thought it's a plugin that take ammo form the dropped or a newer gun, so that if I have a scar with laser upgraded, bug it's out of ammo and there's no ammo pile, I can take ammo form another scar and keep my upgraded one.

picking up a gun then another gun like m16 with another m16 bugs out the ammo count to a massive # i got a hunting_rifle and picked up another hunting rifle and got ammo 226 as full set there was no reload nor any backup ammo just full 226 it seems to happen anytime someone picks up the same gun thats on the floor

im locating this issue but so hard, my friend encounter this but very rared, anyway i focus this

[sonic155]

i think setting this

l4d2_AR_FrameCount "10"

fixed it as i cant seem to make it happen anymore

[chungocanh12]

please fix it, it's conflicting with the plugin: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=889437
if i don't use pack rat skill but when i pick up ammo from a gun dropped on the ground i will default to pick up x2 reserve ammo like i was learning pack rat skill

[NoroHime]

update, should fix some bugged ammo count.
by the plugin l4d_reservecontrol reason, past version record the max ammo to known reserved size rather than read game ConVars.
