Alright, so my issue is that i've found a couple addons that I like, but they are no longer supported.
One of the addons is BetterItemCount from CosmosUI. I have updated the TOC and it loads fine w/ no errors, however since the recent patch increasing the amount of ammo that you can carry the font size is too large to read on the bar. What I would like to be able to do is scale down the font size to where I can read how much ammo is in my bag w/o having to open the bag. I have no LUA experience and can't figure out how to edit it, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Secondly, I have searched around and found a couple different addons that will hide the ammo bag/quiver when you SHIFT+B to open all your bags, however none of them work so I was hoping to either find an addon that accomplishes this, or get some help in making one.
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. And thanks in advance.|||Quote:

Now that arrows or bullets stack in 1000's and you get the haste bonus on a Hunter without needing a quiver or ammo pouch, you can sell yours off and get a regular bag of some sort. More space!|||Quote:

Very true, I could... But my character only has 16 slot bags anyhow & my quiver is 16 slot.. so i'm not really losing anything. And also my addon BuyEmAll looks for the quiver when I go to refill my ammo to be able to fill up my quiver w/ only 1 click. I kinda like being able to walk around w/ 16k ammo, means I don't have to refill very often.|||Quote:

sure you are...
If you carry 3000 shots, that is three slots....if those shots are in a quiver, then you lost 16-3 = 13 slots that gear could be in....|||Quote:

Exactly. I did this with my Hunter as soon as it became available. Bought a new Netherweave bag (the only reasonably priced moderately spacious bag there is) and stacked 6000 arrows in six slots. And that gave me a whole new bunch of empty bag spaces to put other stuff in.|||Veldruk,
You'd be a lot better off searching through the three main UI hosting sites for updated versions of your addons.
For Example: AmmoFu is a Fubar plugin to

Features
1. Keeps track of bullets/arrows
2. Keeps track of thrown weapons
3. Keeps track of soul shards
4. Can show in percentage. (based on bag space of your ammo/soul bags)
As stated above, ammo now stacks to 1000 and you no longer get haste from your ammo pouch/quiver. Invest in a netherweave bag instead. Even if you use 6 slots for ammo, you'll have an extra 10 slots for loot.
There are also auto buy reagent addons (to buy priest candles etc.) and I'm sure you could find one to auto buy ammo.
There a new one I've spotted

Ammo-matique
Ammo-matique provides automated ammo handling - it can automatically reload for you if you run out of your current ammo type, and it can automatically select the suitable ammo type for any particular situation. Additionally, it can alert you when you're running low or out of ammo, in a variety of ways including voice feedback.
Currently supported features
* Automatic discovery and ranking of ammo. The best ammo is referred to as the "premium", and the worst the "low-grade".
* Automatic reloading of appropriate ammo type. If you were using premium ammo, the second best will be loaded when you run out of the best ammo, and vice versa.
* Automatic switching of ammo type (premium vs low-grade) depending on mob type or PvP situation.
* Warnings when the current ammo drops below a configured threshold, runs out, and when all ammo runs out.
* Warning in the default chat window.
* Warning in the standard error frame.
* Warning by voice over (male and female voice sets available).
* All features configurable via the standard menu (Esc -> Interface -> AddOns)
* Keybinds for the common operations.
* /ammo slash-command for macro access to Ammo-matique.
Planned features
* Depends on where Blizzard decides to go with ammo... I have built this add-on as platform to build on once we know the details of the changes. Things such as per-boss ammo selection have been considered while designing this add-on, and will be easy to add on, should that become reality.
* Automatic ammo restocking from vendors - this feature is currently in beta testing.
* Having the ammo automatically moved into a specified bag would be handy, now that we don't use quivers/ammo pouches. I will work on this.
* Allowing overriding of ammo type based on the name of a mob, instead of just its class (non-elite/elite/boss) and setting (instance/raid/etc).
* Providing a dedicated window/frame for showing ammo totals could be useful and is also under consideration.
Known issues
* Currently none. Should you manage to find a bug, please use the ticket system to provide feedback.
Status
* Stable. Beta release is available, which allows much more fine-grained configuration for PvE Ammo switching, and provides experimental support for automatically restocking your ammo whenever you talk to an ammo vendor.
You could test drive the beta and help them test the ammo restocking feature.

Thing is, though, no one seems to offer the beta for download. I did a Google search and found two suggested sites: Curse and something called Tekkub. But Curse doesn't even show it and Tekkub seems responsible for its design and creation but doesn't offer it as a download.|||It's there Frogglet - I'll PM you the url|||Quote:

Great. Thanks very much.|||Let us know how it works out!
I could use it for my (currently resting) Hunter :)
