Description

Adds 2 extra slots to the action bar for a total of 8 action bar slots.

WARNING:
Due to limitations with how Starbound works, this mod will only work on new characters, any character created before the mod was installed will be inaccessible.
You can regain access to your old characters at any time by uninstalling the mod.

There is also currently no way to set hotkeys for the new slots, this is a limition within the Starbound engine and will hopefully be rectified in a future version of Starbound.

This mod should be compatible with every mod except ones that change the size or look of the Action Bar(Increasing the number of bars is fine).

For multiplayer both the client and server must have the mod installed.

Sometimes Steam can fail to load mods installed via the workshop which can cause issues loading characters, to prevent this please see the information at: http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/psa-important-for-those-of-you-who-use-workshop-hotbar-inventory-mods.131416/

Never put this modification on the extension. Do not follow the advice in the comments. You will destroy all your saves irrevocably! The path burns in hell the code of the developers of the original game

You dont have to create a new character when installing/uninstalling this mod

Open the Starbound game folder and go to /Starbound/storage/player, copy the .player file to /Starbound/win32/

Now open CMD and navigate to the directory (you can open it fast in the Address bar of the Windows Explorer when you type in there cmd instead of the path)

Now type in "dump_versioned_json.exe " <-- space is required
Drag the .player file into the Terminal and than drag and drop it again but this time rename the .player to .json [Enter]

Now you have a .json file that you can open with a texteditor
Search now with CTLR + F for ""customBar""

This is your object that defines the object that defines what you have in your hotbar.
You have to replace the whole thing "customBar" but only this! Not customBarGroup!

Replace it with this in my example I use the 10 Slots variant!

"customBar" : [
[
[null, null], [null, null], [null, null], [null, null], [null, null], [null, null], [null, null], [null, null], [null, null], [null, null]
], [
[null, null], [null, null], [null, null], [null, null], [null, null], [null, null], [null, null], [null, null], [null, null], [null, null]
]
],

This means first 10 Slots and the other page 10 Slots, if you now add , [null, null], [null, null] at each line you can use it for the 12 Slot variant. But watch out not putting an comma at the end of the "null]"

Now save and go back to the terminal and now do the same backwards with make_versioned_json.exe

My example
make_versioned_json.exe B:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\win32\e54e17dcf74bb5f6652d4701f60c29c4.json B:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\win32\e54e17dcf74bb5f6652d4701f60c29c4.player

If there comes an error you have a wrong syntax at a line!
If not put the .player file back to the player directory
