Standalone [1.3] tModLoader - A Modding API

[Lukas04]

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;
    }
}

How do i change the Color of the Text?

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?

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

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"));
 }
 }

}

Yes, it works, thank you

What is the bsdiff in the gog version of tmodloader for?

}
}

I've been using OreRunner and never had the problem of ore spawning in trees so yeah, this should work (if there are no errors of course).

How can I make the projectile spin during flight?

 

[Iriazul]

Just a quick question to confirm my assumption:
A method when placing a tile is absent, right? I want to use the coordinates of the newly placed tile, so if my assumption is correct, I'm guessing I'll have to do the tile placement manually and go from there?

How can I make the projectile spin during flight?

You could try something like the following:

public override bool PreUpdate()
{
    projectile.rotation += 0.1F * projectile.direction;
    return false;
}

<<< EDIT >>>
Nevermind my question, I think the placement of Chests has answered it.

Can anyone help me on installation please?

Can anyone help me on installation please?

where are enough tutorials on youtube for these

If you could give us some details on what's going wrong: of course.

Doesn't work

 

[Iriazul]

Doesn't work

Could you tell me what doesn't work? Are you getting an error or...?

 

[Lukas04]

Doesn't work

projectile.rotation += 0.1f;

[thegamemaster1234]

So I suppose the real question here is: is it possible to change the color of an armor piece without changing the color of nearby accessories? It feels like it should, since the game already seems to do that with dressers.

I really, really want to know this. I even tried messing with Main.playerDrawData and no luck.
