How to Change The Ammo Display on The Assault Rifle

Tools Needed
- a calculator
- HMT (for PC users) or Eschaton

1. Open up Eschaton or HMT and load a map.
2. Go down to schi (Shader Transparency Variant) and find the tag 'weapons\assault rifle\fp\shaders\numbers'.
3. Find "Numeric Counter Limit" which is located in the short integer for Eschaton users.
4. Now go over to your calculator and take whatever number you want to change it to and multiply that by 256.
5. Change the Numeric Counter Limit and change that to whatever number you want.

Note: I know this is easy but some people don't know the formula.

Basically the issue is that the number is an 8-bit integer and most modding programs only support 16-bit and higher. Eschaton does so you just need functioning plugins for it to work.

These here along with setting your preferences to use entity style plugins will make it so you don't need to bother with the math.
