Current version: v0.9.1
Compatible with Terraria 1.3.4.4
Steam Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux
GOG Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux
Note: The mod browser will sometimes go down during heavy load. Modders, please also provide your own downloads of your mod for whenever this happens.
tModLoader is essentially a mod that provides a way to load your own mods without having to work directly with Terraria's source code itself. This means you can easily make mods that are compatible with other people's mods, save yourself the trouble of having to decompile and recompile Terraria.exe, and escape from having to understand all of the obscure "intricacies" of Terraria's source code. It is made to work for Terraria 1.3+.
tModLoader saves worlds and players separately from vanilla worlds and players. Vanilla worlds and players can be ported to tModLoader worlds and players simply by copying over save files. Modded content is saved in files separate from .plr and .wld files, so you can also port modded players and worlds back to vanilla at the cost of losing your modded stuff.
My goal for tModLoader it to make it simple as possible while giving the modder powerful control over the game. A secondary goal is that anyone who works with tModLoader enough will be able to make their own standalone mods. tModLoader is designed in a way as to minimize the effort required for me to update to future Terraria versions. Feel free to either suggest hooks or push hooks to Github (link in a later section).
Also please don't email me, I almost never check my email.
The documentation contains everything you need to know about what tModLoader has to offer. It contains information on all the features, hooks, etc., in tModLoader, complete with descriptions on what everything is used for. Unlike other modding API's, this documentation is kept up-to-date as features are added. Do note that often it will even be ahead of the current released version.
Example Mod
I use an example mod to test features that I add to tModLoader. You can download a zip file here so you can use it to learn how to make your own things. Example Mod v0.9.1 Download
Instructions
To create a mod, first run tModLoader. Click on the "Mod Sources" button in the main menu, then click on the "Open Sources" button to open the folder which contains your mod sources. In this folder, create another folder for your mod, then put all of your .cs files and .png files in that folder. When you are done, build your mod from the "Mod Sources" menu . If the mod failed to build, the game will show you one compile error, and give you an option to view all compile errors as a text file. If the mod successfully builds you will be returned to the main menu. If the game crashes or a mod fails to load, the game will display the error and also give you the option to view the error as a text file. Mods that crash on loading are automatically disabled. Mods are automatically enabled when they are built.
To distribute a mod, once you have built it, click on the "Mods" button in the main menu, then click on the "Open Mods Folder" button. You will find a file with the .tmod extension for you to distribute.
To install someone else's mod, simply copy the .tmod file to your own Mods folder.
By downloading tModLoader, you agree to everything in this disclaimer and agreements.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your computer if you download tModLoader. Common sense stuff.
Do not use tModLoader to do anything that breaks the Terraria Forums rules. In other words, the rules for making and sharing mods are the same as the rules for sharing mods on these forums; no unobtainble items, no console content, etc.
Mods uploaded through the Mod Browser are tagged with your Steam username, so we will know if you do something bad.
You are allowed to mod tModLoader (similar to how tModLoader is a mod of Terraria), given that you provide a link to this thread.
Open Source
In case you want to see how messy my code has become, tModLoader is now open source! Feel free to suggest features either on this thread or over Github. Github Repository Link
Once your download is complete, you should have a zipped folder. Unzip this folder. Open the extracted folder and copy all the contents to your Terraria's Steam folder. You may wish to back-up your vanilla Terraria.exe file first. More detailed instructions are in the README file included with the download.

Tentative Future Plans
v0.9.2: Hooks for mounts
v0.9.3: Hooks for interface
v0.9.4: ModOptions
Further in the future: JSON support + other stuff I'm forgetting + full release
(Updated September 2, 2016) I haven't done anything in a while and things will probably stay like this for the foreseeable future, but I will keep updating tModLoader to future Terraria versions as fast as possible. Also remember that tModLoader is open source and that you can contribute in the meantime! http://forums.terraria.org/index.ph...der-a-modding-api.23726/page-638#post-1082664
The only download link that works for me makes me install a file called "tModLoeader-master" and it's just files that you don't need for tmod loader to work with steam on windows?
Does the tModLoeder-master allow you to install it but you just have extra files? or can you not make it work? If you can get it to work which link is it?
[doublepost=1488315330,1488314843][/doublepost]Try going here https://github.com/bluemagic123/tModLoader/releases and downloading straight from github. I just got it to work for me.
It seems to be github. so I am trying to see if there is some other place we can download it from in the meantime. Maybe someone could upload it to some other site and share the link until the github link is fixed?
is anyone else having a problem when you load your mods then you run out of memory and you have to reload till you get lucky and they all load and the weird thing is my old laptop has not done this now my new one does plus i also i have to go to fullscreen if not when i make terraria larger the screen turns white
the memory problem says an error occurred while loading this is were they would say the mod then it says this mod has automatically been disables. insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program
at microsoft.xna.framework.helpers.get exception from result (Ulnt32 result)

yeah its weird i tried using my 960m and my intel graphics and my ssd is all most filled
[doublepost=1488398092,1488398070][/doublepost]but nothing worked
[doublepost=1488398502][/doublepost]my computer uses around 2gigs
I've noticed multiple instances of the same mod popping up for new update patches, will the affected mods take twice as much space in my computer if I download the new patches?
[doublepost=1488400964,1488400832][/doublepost]A filter for mods based on last updated dates sounds cool too, but what I mean is like a label on the mod saying when was it last updated.
Weird question, and I've done a bit of searching without much luck... for some odd reason, in multiplayer, none of the NPCs, modded or otherwise, can target enemies. It leads to them being murdered in droves by anything getting in. Can anyone tell me what's up with that?
Edit: That is to say, running the tmodloader server file. Haven't tried host and play yet.
Edit2: Same thing, NPCs throw their attacks, they hit, but the attacks pass right through. I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
just delete the modded exe. If you used the installer you should have vanilla still in your install directory called Terraria_1.3.4.4.exe. You can actually just launch that if you want to play vanilla for a while.
If you don't have the vanilla exe anymore, use steam to verify integrity of the game and it will redownload it.
i kind of had trouble with changing out the older ver of tmod and well i dont know what is ok to delete and whats not can anyone help? (i did buy the game off steam if that helps) i still want to play modded and i too had that weird lag problem but it only did it on the modded ver even if no mods where being used. normal terraria runs fine its really the reason i came to this forum to see if there was a fix then i remembered the mess the files are in form my attempt to update tmod loader >,< i did have to use the verify thing to get the game to run the none modded ver but due to the mess i cant play modded

Well, if you are concerned about all the extra files: This is the install directory, you can just delete it all, then use steam to get a fresh vanilla install in there with the verify cache thing. Once Vanilla is restored, just run the tmodloader installer.
