That can be played on both mostly. Some may have bugs in multiplayer, but shouldn't be too common

tAPI means they need tAPI to run. tAPI mods are mostly intended for single-player from what I've seen.

And how do you install/utilize such mods? I've never used any modifications yet on Terraria :\

For that, you should go to the main tAPI thread. Should be pinned in the "released" sub-forum, I think.

Yep, it's there, right on the top of the page.

Whoa o_o I installed tAPI and I lost all my maps and characters ;-;.

It installs to a separate directory, as modded maps and characters aren't compatible with "vanilla" ones. If you followed all the instructions you should have the game launcher installed, it's just a matter of choosing Terraria 1.2.4.1 instead of tApi in it.

and how do I switch between clean and tAPI?

As I said, through the game launcher: http://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/game-launcher-3-2-1-4.1061/

It's a "mod manager" so you could also install non-tAPI mods with it - or at least that's how the old tConfig for 1.1 worked, I haven't bothered with mods in 1.2 because I'm playing other games.

Sadly it seems to be broken on installation atm... What's the workaround for this? The, *ahem*, manual way?

I only have the Game Launcher installed (because I play older Terraria versions at times) so I wouldn't know - the tAPI thread would be a good place to ask I guess.

Seems I'm stuck now :\. No-one's online on the thread, I can't install GameLoader. Isn't there some way to remove GameLoader without removing my actual game?

Did some further research, appearantly Game Launcher can't be installed at the moment due to the Terraria.exe file that Steam provides, is not matching their own validation course, making GL think it has been cracked/modified.

So as usual, it's Gabe's fault.
