Bigger Action Bar(12 slots)

Description
Especially for people with low resolution monitors.

Adds 6 extra slots to a second row on the action bar for a total of 12 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/

@Chet Walters If you drag files into a cmd prompt, it should paste the path the file in the prompt. I found the easiest way to do this using kurotaku's instructions was to do the following:
1) type [space in front]dump_versioned_json.exe in the cmd prompt
2) hit space
3) drag the .player file to the cmd prompt
4) hit space
5) drag the player file again, but remove .player and replace with .json. Hit [Enter].

A new JSON should appear in the directory. Make the edits like Kuro says and then repeat the steps above, except the .json file should be first. I took the additional step of renaming the .player file to backup_originalfilename.player and when I ran the command again, it created a new .player file.

Thanks for the directions @Kurotaku !!

@Kurotaku - please explain buddy, as I can't drag and drop my player files into the prompt.

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

manual extraction "fix" in desc doesnt work. Still breaks characters.

If you guys do exactly what I mentioned months ago, the bug will be fixed. At least the misplaced item icons, never seen any other bug. I had to make my own personal version of the mod. I'd upload it to the workshop, but until the original mod author actually shows signs of prescence and thus I'd be able to contact them, I can't for legal reasons.

If anyone wants the bug fixed, they're going to have to do it themselves.

Also yeah, any mod that alters a character's inventory space or hotbar must be used on new characters. That's not a bug, that's just a limitation of the game. All mods that do this are the same way.

but it seems to be bugged, and it does not apply to existing characters
NerdCuddles Dec 6, 2018 @ 5:27pm
