I'm not sure, but I assume that Terraria also saves a copy of your characters on your hard drive. Go to Documents/My_Games/Terraria/Players, there should be a .plr file and a corresponding folder for each of your characters. If there are, copy them and paste them to Documents/My_Games/Terraria/tModLoader/Players or something along those lines (I haven't installed tModLoader on this PC, so I can't check). That should do the trick.

Same goes for worlds, by the way.

I can't find them anywhere on my PC. I worked so hard on those worlds and characters. R.I.P. Kwinsii and Kwinsii Expert.

Your worlds and characters are still there. tModLoader just doesn't pick them up; if you play vanilla then you'll see them again.
What you'll need to do is play vanilla, then retrieve your characters from the cloud, then you can move them to tModLoader.

I think the

Code:

namespace kif's,mod.NPCs

is causing the trouble. Try changing it to kifsmod.NPCs and also you have to rename the folder that's containing your mod.

I'm having a similar problem as the guy above.
I'm simply trying to make an item to get used to the way this works and it keeps giving me this:

Missing mod: Drom/Items/Drom
at Terraria.ModLoader.ModLoader.GetTexture(String name)

public class Drom : ModItem
{
public override void SetDefaults()
{
item.name = "Carbonated Water";
item.width = 32;
item.height = 32;
item.maxStack = 30;
AddTooltip("Water that has been carbonated and has become fizzy");
item.value = 20;
item.rare = 1;
}

public override void AddRecipes()
{
ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.BottledWater);
recipe.SetResult(this, 1);
recipe.AddRecipe();
recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
recipe.AddRecipeGroup("Drom:CarbonatedWater");
recipe.SetResult(this, 1);
recipe.AddRecipe();
}
}
}

public override void AddRecipeGroups()

RecipeGroup group = new RecipeGroup( () => Lang.misc[37] + " " + GetItem("CarbonatedWater").item.name, new int[]
{
ItemType("CarbonatedWater"),
});
RecipeGroup.RegisterGroup("Drom:CarbonatedWater", group);
}
}
}

I'm not sure what it is that I'm missing but it's driving me nuts...
It's only happening whenever I run the mod since I already worked out a few errors that I found

It's missing a corresponding image file.

Make sure there is a Drom.png located in the same folder.

The new Tmod update isn't working for me. When I replace the files with the new version, it keeps the version at 0.8.1.2 instead of 0.8.2.1

Can someone get me a Windows 10 tutorial? Its really confusing for me when the rest of them are for Windows 7

Now, I spotted a mistake in my last comment. I meant to say item.channel instead of projectile.channel.

Also, the Arkhalis is both an item and a projectile. Using the item creates a projectile that sticks to the position of your player, and disappears when the player stops channeling i.e. when the left mouse button is released. Are you creating a moded item that shoots the vanilla projectile, or a moded item that shoots a moded projectile that mimics the vanilla projectile?

I am making a modded item that shoots a modded projectile that mimics the vanilla projectile.

For what, exactly? I can't think of anything that is substantially different between Windows 7 and 10.

Alrighty, Ill tell you what, I am terrible with computers, a friend helped me figure it most out, I have Java and everything, I extracted/unpacked all filed correctly and fully, but the Terraria application I get keeps on giving me an error message :

System.DIINotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'CSteamworks': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0X80007007E)
at Steamworks.NativeMethods.SteamAPI_RestartAppIfNecessary(Appld_tunOwnApplD)
at Terraria.Social.SocialAPI.Initialize(Nullzble'1 mode)
at Terraria.Program.LaunchGame(String[] args)

That is one thing that happened, and for the Windows 7 videos, they get only a few things from the download, whereas after unpacking a tModLoaderInstaller that I got, along with other things, it gave me more files.

So, I feel like a video could help me out, as I am just overall confused at this point, which is just likely due to my small knowledge of anything about computers

Alright, don't worry, we'll get there.

Do you have the Steam or GOG version of Terraria?
Did your run the installer (tModLoaderInstaller.jar file) or did you manually copy paste everything from the folder to Terraria's install directory?
1. If you used the installer, did you extract all the files from the downloaded folder (zip) to a new folder first?

J-Marcus · Jun 29, 2016

I'm having an issue working on a creature. Upon building and reloading the mod, it tells me that its expecting a ; in between the p and e in aiType? I tried adding it but then it asks for another ; right after it over and over.
