I'd suggest trying a fresh reinstall of tModLoader, including deleting all the mods and configs from your install location. Also don't use too many large content mods at once, as that will crash the game due to Terraria having a 32 bit RAM maximum of 4GB. Aside from that, I would reccommend installing mods one by one to find out which may be the problem, if it is one causing it. If you hold Left Shift (Right Shift may work too? I've not tried) while Terraria is loading (the vanilla 0%-100%, then to the mod loading), it will skip mod loading aside from tModLoader, which should let you get to the main menu at least.
It could also be a system incompatability if you're using an unusual OS or something, but that's less likely than it being a corrupted mod of some kind.

Already did that
Do you mean : This computer > Documents > My Games > Terraria > ModLoader > Mod Configs ?
The mods should be : This computer > Documents > My Games > Terraria > ModLoader > Mods ? Because i already deleted it

Im using mac, and whenever I try to build my mod this error appears. Nothing seems to tell me exactly how to pre-compile the mod.

Hm... Yeah, both those folders.

Since that didn't work, the next thing I would try is to copy your Worlds and Players folders to another spot, then completely delete "My Games/Terraria/Modloader" and "My Games/Terraria" (also backing up any World and Player files in the unmodded Terraria folder) also the folder "Computer > Program Files(x86) > Steam > SteamApps > Common > Terraria", then reinstall Terraria from Steam, then reinstall tModLoader atop that after running it to make sure vanilla Terraria works.

Then install just tModLoader, and load the game again. If that works, then copy your player and world files back to the right place, and load the game again. An "/!\" symbol will tell you what mods you had installed when you hover over it, so reinstall them until you have the same setup (or as close to it as you can, if a mod has updated for example) then try reloading your mods and see if the game works from that point, since by now I can only assume it's a problem with the Terraria installation itself or something corrupted in one of the folders.

Thanks Yvori ! Very Cool ! (it worked!)

My game is crashing on launch (even after disabling all mods, and subsequently uninstalling all mods, reinstalling tmodloader etc) with this error message:
"System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a disposed object.

ETC (it goes on to list a whole load of other places)

Is there any way I can fix this/avoid it in the future?
Also is there any chance to add a description search feature to the mod browser in future, in order to find only the mods that have friendly NPCs, or to filter mods by their features, like how they're shown in the installed+enabled menu?

Thanks Yvori ! Very Cool ! (it worked!)

Glad I could help!

 

[Err0r Terror]

The download link here seems to be slightly cursed. The tmodloader file always stops downloading midway, then it says 'Failure: Network Error'. I try redownloading it, and then the cycle ends with 'Failure: Forbidden'.

Any chance there's a download link using Mega?

The same thing happening to Jac2012 is happening to me when I launch tmodded terraria. I have thorium, alchemistnpc, and fargos installed and the game crashes every few seconds. I've tried reloading the mods and restarting my pc, but none of it works. Can anyone offer me any advice about a solution? this is the mesage that pops up and crashes the game. Happens a few seconds after i open one my main modded world.

Given that this is happening even after reinstalling tModLoader, disabling mods, etc. for both of you I would suggest backing up your player and world files (from Documents\My Games\Terraria\Players + ..\Terraria\Worlds + ..\Terraria\ModLoader\Players + ..\Terraria\ModLoader\Worlds), deleting your Terraria install (Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Terraria) and deleting your data (Documents\My Games\Terraria) then doing a fresh reinstall of Terraria through Steam, then try reinstalling tModLoader and re-setting up your mod setup.

It's a kind of nuke-it-from-orbit approach but if this doesn't work then it's probably an issue with your hardware, OS, or maybe your XNA Framework install.

usually the problem is people copy to the saves folder not the install folder.

You should be copying to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Terraria
not
C:\Documents\My Games\Terraria

Hi, just waned to ask if creating TModLoader server is possible on dedicated server which sites like terraria-servers.com provides ? I'm asking because me and my 2 friends have huge slow motion while just playing, and i thought it could be because of RAM (we all have 8GB), and we host server on our own pc so its heavy on all processes. On the other hand, we have something around 30 mods and im thinking if this amount is not too much, biggest mods we have are calamity, thorium, sacred tools, terraria overhaul.

 

[Prince Jaxon Hellsing]

Nvm got it

usually the problem is people copy to the saves folder not the install folder.

You should be copying to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Terraria
not
C:\Documents\My Games\Terraria

I did say nvm at one point because I moved the whole thing into the folder and extracted it and somereason that worked, no clue why the other ways didn't work
[doublepost=1545602662,1545602370][/doublepost]Also I didn't see the link for the 10.15 version can you send me a link please? I didn't realize until before I got everything working that there was an updated version and I'm using 10.14

Or not again lol jeez my timings bad XD I found the download link for the latest one so nvm XD sorry if I bugged you

why isn't world gen working?

 

[Yvori]

why isn't world gen working?

You're going to need to be a tad more specific if you want help.
Are you writing a mod with worldgen? Is a mod you've downloaded and enabled not loading its worldgen?
Did you remember to reload your mods after enabling them? What mods are you using? How many mods are you using?
Is the worldgen not working right or will worlds just not generate at all?

 

[shahubandar]

So, i have problem while creating the world, here is log:

Indeks wykraczał poza granice tablicy.

Im using around 30 mods, biggest ones are: calamity, thorium, sacredtools, enigma.
