Ammo count by deck

[673f504676846RocketMan]

I have a vague recollection that somebody once listed how many bullets, shells, worms, etc were on each deck of the game.  Was that in a walkthrough or a post here or somewhere else?  I can't remember and my searches only pull up bits and pieces. 

I'd like to find my way back into SS2 modding at some point and I want to adjust the ammo availability since I've always been a critic of how disproportionate it is (no ammo at first and then tons of ammo later).  I want to start by looking at the current numbers but I just can't find the reference I'm recalling from way back when I saw it.

This is from the first few maps. Had to stop and work on other things. The way I got this was opening the level in the editor, going to the object hierarchy, show tree all, then physical -> goodies -> ammo. Select the Ammo(-30) archetype and then Export -> Export Selected. That gives a file with all the ammo types present in the map. They appear to all use the archetype default for their stack at least in these maps? Maybe for some reason that's not in the export.

You should be able to just copy what's above into a spreadsheet and it ought to format fine if you want to organize things that way.

Nice! I've just been using the "list_obj_type ammo" command for this kind of stuff, dumps to the monolog window. Good to have an export option and the info all in one place. Maybe worth doing for other items as well (I wrote a custom script to do this in Deus Ex for my own info when modding).

Also worth mentioning, I was surprised to find that there are only 6 hand-placed portable batteries in the maps, with all others coming from random loot tables on laser turrets, midwives and the like. It's 2 in the medsci2 armory and 4 in rick1, one of which is actually guaranteed on a midwife corpse. The latter 4 are well-timed as the Rickenbacker levels contain no power stations, so the designers make sure to throw you a bone during an endgame section that is all about draining your resources. Very cool.

Oh I didn't know you could do that.  I mean I guess it's no big deal for the editor but I was on a different train of thought I guess.  I just remembered a post or something where this work was already done years ago... maybe Straylight? although I could only find bits and pieces in his notes.  Well, thanks for this, i'll continue the job and get the full list

Only semi-related, but here are DML snippets for removing all special recoil/degradation status from weapon pickups, if that's something other modders need, or if people simply want the full list. I've commented out the removal of special properties on melee weapons and the psi amp because... I don't think they do anything. Also note that this is based on SCP Beta 4, but I don't think there's any difference in the object IDs (someone correct me on that).
