I think i figured out the bug.
For some reason when I run terraCustom 0.6, it runs tmodloader 0.11.2.2. However if i run terraria normally, it runs 0.11.3. Im not exactly sure why though. Ive never installed 11.2.2, unless terraCustom 0.6 emulates an older version of the modloader.
This is why mods say that they dont work through TerraCustom though.
edit: Looking back a bit through the thread =w=
It does look like it matters. Either the mods see that its 0.11.2.2, and kick it back, or theres some key part of the code that 11.3 mods need.
I'll look through the logs real fast and see if i can isolate the issue.
edit2:
They all seem to have this error string. Its almost like its the mods that are reaching for something that isnt there.
Log added as attachment.
Edit3:
I reinstalled tmodloader over the terraCustom to see if this changed anything, which it seemed to. I didnt get the same errors as last time.
I seem to have isolated the issue down to the recipe mod im using (which functions fine on 11.3)
Once it sees that the mod doesnt work, it kills the rest of the mods, instead of just the offending one. Disabling the Recipe mod before running TerraCustom fixes it though, and the rest of the mods i have run fine in Terra Custom.
Looking through the logs, it looks like its hanging up on a callback. If im reading this right, i think its doing a check to see if its on the right modloader.
Added updated log (Client2) and removed previous one (Client1) since that log was based on an improper install.

Merged Edit:
Since im poking on here though, Is it possible to increase the size of the desert biome?
I was wanting to build stuff in the desert, but its such a tiny surface biome :T
