One day ill get that computer science degree, just to understand what the hell the person giving info about putting this on existing characters was even saying.

This mod drops this when using it with StarExtensions. The game doesnt crash but i dont like errors in my log file xD

Someone made a Hotkey Mod. I give it a try
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2962464896

@Crankenstein: Use xSB-2. It makes mods like this client-sided.

this mod changed my ship to a different one with no captains chair

Is there any way to get this mod to be client side only? Looks like it would be a client side mod for MP, I'm surprised it isn't.

I realized that the config file for Starbound actually lists options for the 7, 8, 9 and 0 keybindings. Is it possible this was left from when Starbound actually had ten slots and if so, could it work with this mod?

Another question I have. If I dump the json of the character, can I edit it to make an existing character work with this mod?

oops sorry just realized i had already commented that :|

the picture shows 20

uh... the picture shows 20...

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!

[More in the next comment]

"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

messes up the hotbar so that bl2 shields hotbar vanished at least on my game.

We could always use more Action bars!

I CANNOT script or mod but I guess you can? Can you possibly create a mod for me that adds a 3rd Action Bar?

For now to play with a friend I can post my own clone of the mod to play with friends, but I don't want to steal from this mod so I figured I would let you know

Could you maybe increase the priority of this mod? A different mod (though I can't figure out which one) is loading before this and even caused one of my characters to corrupt, as the bar at the top isn't displaying properly.

i've downloaded this mod, and i set the button 7-0 according to the action bar 7-10, but when i press the button 7-0, my character will not select the things according to the action bar, can someone helps me please?

It's not that difficult to make a twink planet, dump all your stuff into chests, admin in enough fuel to get there and back with a new character. this mod is definitely worth that trouble

and indeed this screenshot is the 20 slots not the 10 slots

notes: this 10 slots bar works fine, however in 1680x1050 res it will overlap with the quest text

the 20 slots bar seems strangely similar to the 10 slots bar in screenshots

Simply modify the number of slots AFTER the char loads in...

There should be no limitation in how this mod works... You should have no problem delaying loading until the character is loaded so when the char loads in and the bar is standard then use a command to enable the new one ( worst case ), or automatically enable it...

Starbound uses Lua, right? I haven't checked but I believe that's what I heard. If you need help modifying this to work, add me.

There are save editors out there. Or at least there was one back around 2015. Should you theoretically just be able to decompile that? I mean it isn't the same but it might help you get a bit closer to that.
...Oh StarCheat (That's what the above message was about. I only read halfway through before writing, haha.)

Theoretically it should be possible but the tools just don't exist. The amount of toolbar slots is for some reason saved to each character, so changing that number in game makes characters with a different number unable to be loaded. If someone came up with a way to decrypt and edit the number in the save files, then it should be possible. The people who created StarCheat could probably figure it out but it's beyond me, as far as I know they are the only people who have managed to edit save files.

Is there anyway to get this to work with existing characters? I would absolutely love it then. I have put so much work into my character.
Other than that issue it seems like a great mod.

I added them to the options menu to future proof the mod for when/if they enable it in the future.

Wait there's no way to set keybinds for the other slots, but there's keybindings in the settings menu?
