Standalone [1.3] tModLoader - A Modding API

[TheGamerLV]

What do you mean with 'too'? tModLoader is the application, it's not a loaded mod. I very much doubt you're going to be able to modify it through just a mod.

Well then how do i do it???

Inpossible
you cannot change the Start Menu with Tmodloader

Well, technically you could edit tModLoader to show it (it's open source, after all), but I highly doubt it's worth all that work for something only you can see.

What I have seen people do is use

Main.NewText("Using MyMod version 1.0");

upon entering a world. Kind of the same effect (I guess?).

How do I use drawOriginOffset hook? I guess I must return an integer number, but when I do it nothing happens.

Which class instance are we refering to? ModItem, ModNPC...?

 

[sojettlag]

Does this work in 32bit windows? Cause I downloaded it then it says that the application is an invalid windows 32 application.

ModProjectile

ModProjectile

Allright, so you've got two drawOriginOffsets right? X and Y.
What you want to do with these values is set them in the SetDefaults function of your ModProjectile. Ex:

public override void SetDefaults()
{
    // Name, width, height, etcetc.
    
    // Now say the texture of your projectile is... 16x16 and you want the projectile to rotate around its center, you'll want to set the origin values to 8, since that will get the middle of the projectile to rotate or draw around.    
    drawOriginOffsetY = drawOriginOffsetY = 8;
}

This is untested, but technically it should work.

How whould i add these MEssage? to what File i need to to add it and what Method etc

I'm not sure if there's a general 'OnWorldJoin' kind of function, but one (not so optimal, but working) way of doing this is by using the following code in a class that derives from ModPlayer:

private bool loaded = false;
public override void PreUpdate()
{
    if(!loaded)
    {
        Main.NewText("Display your message here.");
        loaded = true;
    }
}

Nope, I can't assign a value because drawOriginOffset is a group of methods.

Huh, now it is working...

What did you change?
drawOriginOffset in itself is nothing, you'll have to either reference the X or Y variable.

How do i change the Color of the Text?

 

[Iriazul]

How do i change the Color of the Text?

Use the R,G,B parameters of the Main.NewText function. Ex:

Main.NewText("I'm Red", 255, 0, 0);
Main.NewText("I'm Green", 0, 255, 0);
Main.NewText("I'm Blue", 0, 0, 255);
Main.NewText("I'm... Yellow?", 255, 125, 40);

How can I check player's facing?

 

[Iriazul]

How can I check player's facing?

player.direction. If that variable is -1 the player is facing left. If it's 1, the player is facing right. Ex:

if(player.direction == -1)
    // Left
else
    // Right

 

[ALmaZss]

player.direction. If that variable is -1 the player is facing left. If it's 1, the player is facing right. Ex:

if(player.direction == -1)
    // Left
else
    // Right

But I need to check this in SetDefaults to change drawOriginOffset and there is no "player"

Allright, in this case 'player' was just an example of a Player class instance.
If you want to check the direction of the owner of the projectile in the SetDefaults function, something like this may work:

public override SetDefaults()
{
    Player p = Main.player[projectile.owner];
    if(p.direction == -1)
        // Do your left stuff.
    else
        // Do your right stuff.
}

Just so I don't have to test everything again, this should make it so ore can't spawn in trees right?
Because ore runner allows ore to spawn in only specified tiles.

if (downedDesertScourge)
 {
 for (int k = 0; k < (int)((double)(Main.maxTilesX * Main.maxTilesY) * 15E-05); k++)
 {
 int i2 = WorldGen.genRand.Next(0, Main.maxTilesX);
 int j2 = WorldGen.genRand.Next((int)(Main.maxTilesY * .2f), (int)(Main.maxTilesY * .8f));
 WorldGen.OreRunner(i2, j2, (double)WorldGen.genRand.Next(3, 6), WorldGen.genRand.Next(3, 6), (ushort)mod.TileType("AerialiteOre"));
 }
 }
