'Manual Reload' mod not remember ammo type

[ToughPuppy]

Hello!

 

I've asked around and I haven't found a solution to my problem yet. I'm using a mod called 'Manual Reload' which disables automatic reloading, and remembers how many bullets are left in each weapon. This is pretty cool, but I'm having an issue where the ammo type switches back to default whenever I change weapons.

 

Say I have an AK-47 and I load AP ammo. If I unequip and re-equip, or if I change to another weapon and back again, the ammo count is remembered but it will be in standard ammunition (FMJ in this case). I've also noticed that specific ammo types are preferred; if I have no standard ammo left, then my weapons will default to AP over surplus, even if I had surplus loaded.

 

I know I'm making a bigger thing of this than is necessary, but it really irks me on a realism/immersion level. There's also the issue of wasting AP ammo when I think I'm using Surplus, or having issues fighting deathclaws because I'm using standard ammo and I forget to (re-)re-load to AP.

 

I've tried the mod on a vanilla game, but I still have the same issue, so I really don't know what to look for. I would be greatful for any and all assistance.

Hello again!

 

As a last resort I've tried installing the Weapon Hot Keys mod found here:

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/61525/?

 

Funnily enough, when I assign a weapon to a hotkey, I can then switch out to any other weapon and back again, and it remembers the ammo type - but only for hotkeyed weapons. I'm still trying to get my head around the script. I'll leave a copy of it here, just incase anyone wants to help me figure out what is actually go on inside the mod:
