I made a little code that makes the armor piece log all the texture names in Main.playerDrawData. What I've noticed is that my custom armor's texture is not showing up; instead, the texture name is null. In contrast, vanilla armor and accessories have an associated texture name in Main.playerDrawData.texture.Name.
Piece of the log which shows what I mean:
See those two blank spots? That's where my armor piece is likely *supposed* to be (arms texture and body texture), but it isn't. Somehow, it's still being rendered on the player, though.
The big issue with this is that because the texture name isn't where it's supposed to be, you're effectively unable to do any complicated screwing around with how that layer is drawn.
This same issue occurs when equipping armor and accessories from other mods as well.

Hmm, that's strange, since I can see how modded texture names should show up.
Could you try taking a different route? Try debugging:
Code:
Main.itemTexture[player.head].Name
Hm, that's probably because textures from mods are created from streams, since they can't be loaded in by the content manager. I suppose in the next update I could try to manually assign their Name property. In the meantime you could check for reference equality with mod.GetTexture.

I'm getting confused here. How am I supposed to compare a Terraria.DataStructures.DrawData.texture object with a mod.GetTexture object? I'm trying to find armor textures, so would I be using mod.GetEquipTexture instead? How would this account for multiple textures e.g. arms?
EDIT: According to the documentation, I'm supposed to do mod.GetTexture("MyMod/items/armor/MyArmorTexture") to get the texture object, then I can compare it with the Terraria.DataStructures.DrawData.texture with .Equals? Or can I just use the normal operator (==)?

Allright, so I've got the following problem:
I've got a tile of which I'm getting the top-left coordinates, to access the some data belonging to that tile (kind of how chests are accessed).
Now my problem is that I want to animate the tile based on some of the values of the data. Problem is that in the AnimateTile function of the ModTile, there are no coordinate parameters, so I'm kind of at a loss.

You can't animate other tiles with AnimateTile. Have the tile animate itself when it is accessed.
I'm sorry, that was not what I was getting at, but thanks for the quick reply.
I'm trying to animate the tile the method is called on, I just want it to animate using external data, which I need to access using the coordinates of the tile.

You can set the coordinates to be whatever C#'s equivalent of instance locals are, then access them from within AnimateTile.
Probably looks something like this:
Code:
private int targetX;
private int targetY;
(method where you set targetX and targetY)
(AnimateTile method)
{
//you can access targetX and targetY from here
}Yeah, I've been there and encountered a small problem... AnimateTile is called before any of the other methods in which I can get the coordinates (which are MouseOver and HitWire). I was hoping I could get some of these values via the SetDefaults method of my ModTile, but so far no luck.
I have been trying to utilize TileObjectData.newTile.HookPostPlaceMyPlayer in the SetDefaults function, but to no avail (so far that is).

Try calling MouseOver/HitWire from within AnimateTile?
They would need coordinates as parameters, so I'm afraid that's not going to work, since the input will be the same as the ouput.
I'll try a few more things before calling it a day. Thanks for the help!

wall creeper is a vanilla npc not a modded one, its vanilla npc number 164 if that helps, would i still write mod.npctype
No, then it's even easier!
Code:
NPC.NewNPC((int)npc.position.X, (int)npc.position.Y, 164); //NPC nameLol Bozo

hate to do this, but next question, so in the code i posted, it drops chloroform, how do i make it drop between 5-10 chloroform(modded item) and 5-10 Poison(modded item)
If I remember correctly, Equals and == do the same thing. They're more relaxed than a reference equality, so that should be good.
Also, if you're using mod.GetTexture instead of ModLoader.GetTexture, the MyMod/ part shouldn't be necessary.
Hm, you'll probably have to wait until there's tile entity support. In the meantime, you can try keeping track of where all the tiles are, store animation information in the world's PostUpdate, then do the actual animation using PreDraw and/or PostDraw.
You can do something like:
Code:
Item.NewItem((int)npc.position.X, (int)npc.position.Y, npc.width, npc.height, mod.ItemType("Chloroform"), Main.rand.Next(5, 11)); // Will drop between 5 and 10.Yup, that's totally gonna work. I was too tunnel-visioned I guess. Thanks!
