Standalone [1.3] tModLoader - A Modding API

[Elemental Δ]

I am having some trouble installing and enabling tModLoader for Steam. Can anybody help me? please?

It should be as simple as running the tmodloader client file, I think...? Don't remember, it's been so long.

I think part of my problem is that I don't have Java 8 or higher (I'm not even sure what Java is). Didn't it say you required "Java 8 or higher"?

Here's the list of java downloads. Just find the one that matches your OS.

can you show the folder where the class is located? A namespace error is typically when the directory cannot be located. Also when pasting code use the code block by using [-CODE][-/CODE] (without the dashes) as reading it without whitespace formatting makes it difficult.

I am pretty sure there is no native way to do it but you can use symbolic links instead. Here is a resource The Complete Guide to Creating Symbolic Links (aka Symlinks) on Windows

Thanks, i didn't know this existed. It's not useful for me at the moment, but i imagine it would be good to keep in mind in future.

 

[Esnardo]

Ok so, me and my friend have been playing multiplayer a while together but recently whenever I send him a invite and he tries to join, his game freezes when saying "Syncing Mods"

make sure you both have the same mods, and the latest versions of mods, and the latest version of tmodloader. if that doesn't work, try joining eachother with no mods enabled. if that works, it's one of the mods causing the issue, enable them one by one to figure out which one it is. if it doesn't, try vanilla terraria. if vanilla works, gather all the files you think will help and submit a bug report. if vanilla fails, it's a problem with your internet, or your computer, or something else outside the developer's control

Is there any way I can add my own ammo ID, instead of using the item type? Like if i wanted a weapon to use bullets I would use item.useAmmo = AmmoID.Bullet, then the weapon would be able to use all bullets as ammo. At the moment I can only get my weapon to shoot one type of modded ammo at a time, as I am using item.useAmmo = mod.ItemType("ammo name"). Can I make an "ammo group" similar to the way I can make a recipe group, or is there some other way of doing this? Thanks!

 

[Beidou]

Whenever I try to enable any mods, it goes back to the main screen. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes, simply have all of the ammos use the same ID for the ammo field, then have the item's useAmmo field use that same ID.

I am having some trouble installing and enabling tModLoader for Steam. Can anybody help me? please?

Steam version is not yet released, it will be released together with the Journey's End update.

Thank you! Like most coding problems I encounter I was over complicating things.

hola, no puedo jugar el mod, la versión en el mod es 1.3.5.2, pero en mi pc es 1.3.5.3, no puedo generar un mundo nuevo

There should be no significant difference between the two versions, why can't you generate a world? Do you get an error? If so, we could use your client.log file, it's in your documents folder.

No debería haber una diferencia significativa entre las dos versiones, ¿por qué no puedes generar un mundo? ¿Le da un error? Si es así, podríamos usar su archivo client.log, está en su carpeta de documentos.

Congrats on getting a steam workshop download with Terraria, I can't wait to see how it works and see all the new people finally getting into tmodloader once it's easier to download

 

[Ambaire]

I just discovered that if I swap to borderless windowed mode from regular windowed mode, it bugs out and still shows the taskbar. If I close and relaunch the tmodloader version, it works normally. The unmodded Steam version works as expected. See the bug below.

Steam workshop won't be supported as of yet ,it will come later.

I seem to be having a problem with TModLoader itself. I have followed the install instructions to the letter, but every other time I log onto the game, it acts like it is the first time, prompting me to select a language, and then giving me the box that says I have correctly installed it, before recognizing the fact that I do already have saved games and mods downloaded. I wouldn't have a problem with this if it weren't for the fact that every time this happens, I basically have to start a new world, due to entire modded biomes disappearing, thus rendering it impossible to advance in the world I was in. I know it isn't the fault of any of my downloaded mods, because whenever I log onto my world, my chests get wiped of ALL modded items and the world get's wiped of ALL modded blocks. The only modded items that stick around are what stays inside my inventory. It's been happening for a while, and originally it wasn't as bad, but then it started happening with increasing regularity, to the point now where it's basically every couple days. I would like to ask for some help as to figuring out what is going on. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem, or is it just me?

This is the kind of Biome deletion that I'm talking about, although the result I usually see is the ocean and every block between it and The Underworld vanishing, due to the Abyss biome from the Calamity Mod. This is a much more bizzare case, out of the ones I've seen. This world does, somehow, still have blocks of the ocean floor remaining, and with them you can see the scale of this missing chunk of the world. And I don't glitch out visiting this area at all; the blocks are just straight up gone.
