Em... there seems not to be a place where I can find all my references that easily. Form the first place this is a question about experience and knowledge which I need to learn, trying my best.
So, yeah, really happy to hear that I can ask my silly little questions without limits:guidesmile:
Let me ask then.

I've made myself an AWP, and it's really a huge weapon compared to the other items in the game, hence it really looks odd - it has a 107x32 size. Fortunately I got "item.scale" to solve this problem and it looks just perfect. But item.scale only defines the size of its using texture, by which I mean the size when using. The dropping texture remains surprisingly large. And the demon altar I've made actually has the same question. How should I adjust this?

Did you try this?

I think you should be able to change scale however you like. Try .5.
 
jopojelly your tile help i super usefull aill use it ty and do you know how to make projectile that i gave extraupdates visible ?
someone sais something about preAI and postAI but noone helped me with that :/

So I add it:
Code: 
        public virtual bool PreDrawInWorld(SpriteBatch spriteBatch, Color lightColor, Color alphaColor, ref float rotation, ref float scale)
        {
            scale = 0.5f;
        }
Seems I got some usings missing, it says it can't find "SpriteBatch".

You'll need to add "using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;" to the top.

Oh yeah. And now my AWP's dropping texture looks fine!
Another thing... when I'm making a shield, I can set like the examplemod:
Code: 
        public override bool Autoload(ref string name, ref string texture, IList<EquipType> equips)
        {
            equips.Add(EquipType.Shield);
            return true;
        }
Then I'm now making a glove, what should I fill in the EquipType?

I don't see how changing "projectile.extraUpdates;" would make your projectile invisible. Did it work with "projectile.extraUpdates = 0;"? Chances are you set "projectile.extraUpdates" so high the projectile flies off the screen before you even see it. Just post your code and we'll see the problem.
 
Now another questions appears agian!
I'm making a NPC, some sorta knight type NPC. So ofc. it uses melee weapon.
Then I set it up like this:
Code: 
            npc.name = "Guard";
            npc.townNPC = true;
            npc.friendly = true;
            npc.width = 18;
            npc.height = 40;
            npc.aiStyle = 7;
            npc.damage = 10;
            npc.defense = 45;
            npc.lifeMax = 250;
            npc.soundHit = 1;
            npc.soundKilled = 1;
            npc.knockBackResist = 0.5f;
            Main.npcFrameCount[npc.type] = 26;
            NPCID.Sets.ExtraFramesCount[npc.type] = 9;
            NPCID.Sets.AttackFrameCount[npc.type] = 4;
            NPCID.Sets.DangerDetectRange[npc.type] = 200;
            NPCID.Sets.AttackType[npc.type] = 207;
            NPCID.Sets.AttackTime[npc.type] = 20;
            NPCID.Sets.AttackAverageChance[npc.type] = 25;
            animationType = NPCID.Guide;
        }
I think attack type is the same as the Dye Trader, who also uses melee weapon. But this Guard just won't attack whatever. What's wrong?

I think this should be 3, not 207.

}
}
}

This is it but someone sais that if i want to make look like laser i hae to make slow shootspeed and extraupdates about 10 or 20 and to make it look like line of laser add something to postAI or preAI

AttackType is a vanilla thing; it won't let you copy stuff that already exists. For this, you'll pretty much have to take a very thorough look at the documentation (and have a good understanding of how to override methods).

Yeah, if you're not calling Dust.NewDust in your AI then 20 extra updates is way too fast.

What exactly will harm your computer?
The file called Terraria_v1.3.0.8 is just the vanilla executable. Renaming some files will not really harm your computer (unless you change the file type of course, which I do not recommend). If you did something wrong in the process, you can always check the file integrity from the game in question to get the 'correct' files back. Can't go wrong any way.

it said on on my download it can harm my computer

got that when i opened the new terraria
 
I downloaded the Example Mod, and put the files in the folders as directed, but when I try to compile it, I get this error:

error CS0006: Metadata file 'TerrariaMac.exe' could not be found

the strange thing is... I'm running on linux! (through crossover)
What is happening???
