Actually, tModloader IS updated to 1.3.3.2, it has been for a couple of weeks now, the problem is, as @Trivaxy said:

Welp, missed that update then.

Hey. I'm having a small issue, and I'm not even sure it has to do with mods, but I'll post it anyways. I've been playing with a few mods turned on, and I can play all nice and normal for the spam of 10 minutes, give or take. Then, out of nowhere, Terraria stops working without giving any crash screen/log (I've checked both tModLoader and Terraria folders, and there aren't any crash logs related to these particular cases). I've monitored the RAM usage while I play, and it was stable the entire time. I tried doing different actions in game, but that didn't affect it either. Any clues to what might be happening?

When I try to run installer it says: "Could not find place to install to"

It keeps crashing every 5-10 minutes of game play. I have had no problem with tmodloader in the past until now..

We probably have the same problem. Which mods do you have on? Maybe it has something to do with them?

Can someone help me?
I'm trying to make a simple headpiece and, what I understand, Tmodloader doesn't recognize the sprite

Code:

Missing mod: Headband/Armor/Headband_Head
   at Terraria.ModLoader.ModLoader.GetTexture(String name)
   at Terraria.ModLoader.Mod.AddEquipTexture(EquipTexture equipTexture, ModItem item, EquipType type, String name, String texture, String armTexture, String femaleTexture)
   at Terraria.ModLoader.Mod.AddEquipTexture(ModItem item, EquipType type, String name, String texture, String armTexture, String femaleTexture)
   at Terraria.ModLoader.Mod.AutoloadItem(Type type)
   at Terraria.ModLoader.Mod.Autoload()
   at Terraria.ModLoader.ModLoader.do_Load(Object threadContext)

What does that mean?
I have a file called "Headband_Head.png" in the correct folder and it seems like I didn't do any typos

So, is the Linux server working? We are having issues with it still, I'm not finding much information on how to get it to work on Linux.

So, I managed to get past most of the errors I encountered by just directly copypasting everything from the ExampleMod
But now I got this error code

Code:

c:\Users\Samu\Documents\My Games\Terraria\ModLoader\Mod Sources\Random_Mod\Items\Armor\Headband.cs(38,25) : error CS0103: The name 'ItemID' does not exist in the current context

The piece of code the error code refers to is identical to the one on the ExampleMod
Here's the code:

Code:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace Random_Mod.Items.Armor
{
    public class Headband : ModItem
    {
        public override bool Autoload(ref string name, ref string texture, IList<EquipType> equips)
        {
            equips.Add(EquipType.Head);
            return true;
        }

        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            item.name = "Headband";
            item.width = 18;
            item.height = 18;
            item.toolTip = "A headband";
            item.value = 10000;
            item.rare = 2;
            item.defense = 20;
        }


        public override void UpdateArmorSet(Player player)
        {  
            player.meleeDamage *= 0.8f;
            player.thrownDamage *= 0.8f;
            player.rangedDamage *= 0.8f;
            player.magicDamage *= 0.8f;
            player.minionDamage *= 0.8f;       
        }
        public override void AddRecipes()
        {
            ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
            recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.DirtBlock);            (The problem is here, all text within these brackets is not part of the code)
            recipe.SetResult(this);
            recipe.AddRecipe();
        }
    }
}

Check all the folder spellings, I guess.

I can't update my mod onto the mod browser, the game just freezes for a bit and then I get this error:
The operation has timed out
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at Terraria.ModLoader.IO.UploadFile.UploadFiles(String address, IEnumerable`1 files, NameValueCollection values)

Read OP, it says how players and worlds are kept separately and where those are

So I managed to bring my ugly headband to life, it's my first piece of equipment that I bothered to create new sprites for.
And it's animated, when I walk the loose ends of the headband move.
How do I make it so it doesn't make my hair disappear?

On your ModItem:

Code:

public override void DrawHair(ref bool drawHair, ref bool drawAltHair)
{
    drawHair = drawAltHair = true;
}

Try looking in the example mod, it'll help you get started.
