-- Minetest Mod: hotbar
--      Version: 0.1.4
--   Licence(s): see the attached license.txt file
--       Author: aristotle, a builder on Red Cat Creative
--
-- This mod allows the player to set his/her own hotbar slots number
-- by adding a new command.
--
--   hotbar [size]
--
-- By itself, hotbar types the hotbar slots number in the chat;
-- when it is followed by a number in the correct range that is now [1,23],
-- the command accordingly sets the new slots number.
--
-- Features:
-- - It may permanently store the user's preferences by setting & retrieving
--   the "hotbar_slots" & "hotbar_mode" keys in the configuration file.
-- - For those of us who are running MT 0.4.16+, the hotbar size may be
--   different in each world / map.
--
-- Changelog:
--   0.1.4
--   - A new command - /hotbar_mode - has been added to take advantage of
--     the 0.4.16+ mod_storage API.
--     In singleplayer, the suggested default mode for the most recent
--     clients (0.4.16+) should now be WORLD, because when this mode is
--     active a different size can be stored in each world.
--     The original global behavior / mode is now called LEGACY, and
--     should be the default and only one for any MT < 0.4.16
--     because of the lack of the mod_storage API (not tested).
--     No further effort will be put to provide an alternative storage
--     system for any MT < 0.4.16.
--     A third mode - SESSION - is the only mode available when the mod
--     is running on a server. The player can change the slots number,
--     but every new session its value is restored to the default.
--     The SESSION mode is available in singleplayer too.
--   - The slots range has been extended to include the 0: because of this
--     it is now possible to hide the hotbar, the wielded item (and,
--     consequently, the hand).
--   - The deprecated minetest.setting_{get,set}() calls have been removed:
--     this avoids some warnings, but might at the same time limit the
--     compatibility with MT versions < 0.4.16 (not tested too).
--   - The code has been refactoried to better support future comprehension
--     and extensibility (eg for a clientmod version): most of it should
--     now be hopefully self explainatory to me! and even to the occasional
--     modder. :D
--   - FIXES
--     - The slots number is now checked not to be a float (ty GreenDimond).
--   0.1.3
--   - New update to assure the full API support because the version 0.1.2
--     update seems to have gone wrong for some reason. (SORRY. Ty _Xenon)
--     The accepted slots number should now be in the range [1,23]!
--   0.1.2
--   - Some of the existing textures have been modified to comply with an even
--     size (as recommended)
--   - The missing textures have been added.
--   - Some of the textures have been renamed to better support sorting.
--   - As a consequence, the size range has been extended from [1,16] to the
--     fully supported one [1,23]
--   0.1.1
--   - The code that did not properly show the error message when the
--     received size was out of bounds has been corrected
--   - The accepted range has been extended from [4,16] to [1,16].
--   - Some code optimization to avoid strings repetitions
--   0.1.0
--   - The hotbar is now correctly shown even when there are no items in it.
--
-- For now this is all folks: happy builds and explorations! :)
