All good now

So..that means you fixed it? o.o

Zyphrian · Oct 13, 2016

Hey guys, been having trouble on the browser (Pre 0.8) where my characters are being automatically deleted after about 2 hours of play. This wasn't happening for a bit, so I thought it was fixed, but my most recent character disappeared once I got to Chlorophyte. (~ 6 hours of play)
I believe the problem may be related to the .Tplr extension, but even then I have no idea how to prevent it.

so how can i get random stuff from trees like change some of the drops to something els

it wont allow main.rand.Next(0, 10)

error CS0103: The name 'Main' does not exist in the current context

why does it say this or is there some other way to get random numbers?

int f = main.rand.Next(0, 100);
if(f >= 0 && f <= 74)
{
return mod.ItemType("ITEM NAME");
}
else if(f >= 75 && f <= 99)
{
return mod.ItemType("ITEM NAME");
}

this also gives another error to

error CS0161: MODs NAME.Tiles.trees.ITEM NAME.DropWood ()': not all code paths return a value

Im making an ammo bag that will cycle through and shoot random bullets. When I craft the bag, it only randomly chooses one type of ammo and will only shoot that kind. (Example, ill craft the pouch and it gets Musket shots, it will only shoot musket shots.)

Hints anyone?

Code:

    private static Random rand = new Random();
      
    public int shoot = rand.Next(15);
      
        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            item.name = "Endless Test Pouch";
            item.damage = 1;
            item.ranged = true;
            item.width = 26;
            item.height = 34;
            item.maxStack = 1;
            item.consumable = false;
            item.knockBack = 1f;
            item.value = 20000;
            item.rare = 4;
            item.shootSpeed = 1f;
            item.ammo = ProjectileID.Bullet;
            if (shoot == 0)
            {
                item.shoot = 14;
                shoot = rand.Next(15);
            }
            if (shoot == 1)
            {
                item.shoot = 36;
                shoot = rand.Next(15);
            }
            if (shoot == 2)
            {
                item.shoot = 89;
                shoot = rand.Next(15);
            }
            if (shoot == 3)
            {
                item.shoot = 104;

                shoot = rand.Next(15);
            }
            if (shoot == 5)
            {
                item.shoot = 242;
                shoot = rand.Next(15);
            }
            if (shoot == 6)
            {
                item.shoot = 279;
                shoot = rand.Next(15);
            }
            if (shoot == 7)
            {
                item.shoot = 207;
                shoot = rand.Next(15);

            if (shoot == 13)
            {
                item.shoot = 287;
                shoot = rand.Next(15);
            }
            if (shoot == 14)
            {
                item.shoot = 638;
                shoot = rand.Next(15);
            }
        }

maybe do the random thing befor the bullets

try this (not tested)

if (0 == 0)
{
shoot = rand.Next(15);
}
if (shoot == 0)
{
item.shoot = 14;
}
if (shoot == 0)
{
item.shoot = 36;
}
so on

again (not tested)

this also gives another error to

error CS0161: MODs NAME.Tiles.trees.ITEM NAME.DropWood ()': not all code paths return a value

That error means that the compiler thinks it's possible for the game to get through all of the code without returning a value. Fix this by replacing the last 'else if (condition)' with 'else'. You don't really need it anyway because either it won't be reached or it will always return true.

What is it used for?

How can I "update" my tModLoader without deleting old version(characters and worlds)?

'lMobTrixster · Oct 13, 2016

I don't know if this is still a bug or not but my friend can't open his SteamOverlay in game (he's on MacOSx). So we have trouble playing modded multiplayer. I know ReLogic fixed this bug but your tmodloader seems to re-enable this bug.

Are you useing "main" or "Main"? As the capitalization matters. (also it should be "Next")

v0.8.3.5
-Updated to Terraria 1.3.3.3
-Added mod packs - ability to enable/disable groups of mods at once
-Added ability to search mod browser by author
-Added ModifyInterfaceLayers hook
-DrawLayers can now modify the DrawInfo parameter
-Added whoAmI parameter to world-drawing hooks for items
-Made Main._drawInterfaceGameTime public
-Fixed bug where custom tile kill check uses liquid placement check
-Added modpath option for dedicated server command line
-Minor fixes and improvements

Note that if you're using the PreDrawInWorld or PostDrawInWorld hook for ModItem or GlobalItem, you will have to update your mod.

Enjoy!

Edit: Also, I'm trying something new with this update. Downloads are hosted through Github instead of Mediafire. Hopefully this circumvents some problems with Mediafire some people have; also hopefully no new problems get created.

Hello bluemagic123. Thanks for the update. However, the most recent update has caused my playerLayers to be invisible. Here's one as an example.

Code:

public static readonly PlayerLayer NamahFaceLayer = new PlayerLayer("TDK", "NamahFaceLayer", PlayerLayer.Head, delegate(PlayerDrawInfo drawInfo)
        {
            Player drawPlayer = drawInfo.drawPlayer;//shortcut to the player

            if (!drawPlayer.invis) //if the player isn't invisible -- add within range
            {
                //calculate position to draw the sprite at
                Vector2 drawPosition = new Vector2((float)((int)(drawPlayer.position.X - Main.screenPosition.X - (float)(drawPlayer.bodyFrame.Width / 2f) + (float)(drawPlayer.width / 2f))),
                    (float)((int)(drawPlayer.position.Y - Main.screenPosition.Y + (float)drawPlayer.height - (float)drawPlayer.bodyFrame.Height + 4f + drawPlayer.gfxOffY - drawPlayer.mount.PlayerOffset)));
                //draw the sprite
                Main.playerDrawData.Add(new DrawData(TerrarianDreamkeepers.tNamahFace, drawPosition + drawPlayer.headPosition + drawInfo.headOrigin,
                    drawPlayer.bodyFrame, drawInfo.upperArmorColor, drawPlayer.headRotation, drawInfo.headOrigin, 1f, drawInfo.spriteEffects, 0));
                //draw the halo also
                Main.playerDrawData.Add(new DrawData(TerrarianDreamkeepers.tHalo, drawPosition + drawPlayer.headPosition + drawInfo.headOrigin - new Vector2(0, 8),
                    drawPlayer.bodyFrame, Color.FromNonPremultiplied(253, 203, 246, MPlayer.haloAlpha[drawPlayer.whoAmI]), drawPlayer.headRotation, drawInfo.headOrigin, 1f, drawInfo.spriteEffects, 0));
            }
        });

And here's how I've been adding them.

Code:

                    case 3: //If Namah
                        if (layers[i].Name == "Legs")
                        {
                            layers[i].visible = false;
                            layers.Insert(i + 1, NamahLegLayer);
                        }
                        if (layers[i].Name == "Body")
                        {
                            layers[i].visible = false;
                            layers.Insert(i + 1, NamahBodyLayer);
                        }
                        if (layers[i].Name == "Head")
                        {
                            layers[i].visible = false;
                            layers.Insert(i + 1, NamahFaceLayer);
                        }
                        if (layers[i].Name == "Arms")
                        {
                            layers[i].visible = false;
                            layers.Insert(i + 1, NamahArmLayer);
                        }
                        break;

Commenting out the line 'layers.visible = false;' causes my custom layer to reappear along with the vanilla layer. So do custom layers inherit the visibility of their parent layer? Is there a way to fix this? Also, I noticed that the Example Mod hasn't been updated. Is this coming soon?

Player layers do inherit the invisibility of their parent layer. Pretty much the entire point of parenting layers is to inherit invisibility, so you could just make your layers parent-less. I'm not sure why they were showing in earlier updates, that was probably some bug.

ExampleMod hasn't updated since as far as I know it hasn't been changed.
