Hey, I got a problem.
After a sent my computer to fix because of a problem, my Terraria couldn't load. It gave me this message:
Code: 
An unexpected error has occurred.
  at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.Texture2D..ctor(GraphicsDevice graphicsDevice, Stream stream, Int32 width, Int32 height, XnaImageOperation operation)
  at Terraria.ModLoader.Default.ModLoaderMod.ReadTexture(String file)
  at Terraria.ModLoader.Default.ModLoaderMod.LoadTextures()
  at Terraria.ModLoader.Default.ModLoaderMod.Load()
  at Terraria.ModLoader.ModLoader.do_Load(Object threadContext)
And when I put "Continue" it crashed and this appeared: (check uploaded files)
What do I do?

Btw, when I deleted all mods in the file, the game didn't crash but keep showing the same error.

Have you tried verifying Terraria's cache and/or reinstalling tModLoader? One or the other of those things may fix your problem.

Hi, I am new to modding. I am trying to make a workbench with your example mod and I've been jumping back and forth trying to create a recipe but no luck. Think you can help?

Example Block (Uses a basic recipe and is inside example mod, trying to get info off this.)
Code: 
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace ExampleMod.Tiles
{
    public class ExampleBlock : ModTile
    {
        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            Main.tileSolid[Type] = true;
            Main.tileMergeDirt[Type] = true;
            Main.tileBlockLight[Type] = true;
            Main.tileLighted[Type] = true;
            dustType = mod.DustType("Sparkle");
            drop = mod.ItemType("ExampleBlock");
            AddMapEntry(new Color(200, 200, 200));
            SetModTree(new ExampleTree());
        }

        public override void NumDust(int i, int j, bool fail, ref int num)
        {
            num = fail ? 1 : 3;
        }

        public override void ModifyLight(int i, int j, ref float r, ref float g, ref float b)
        {
            r = 0.5f;
            g = 0.5f;
            b = 0.5f;
        }

        public override void ChangeWaterfallStyle(ref int style)
        {
            style = mod.GetWaterfallStyleSlot("ExampleWaterfallStyle");
        }

        public override int SaplingGrowthType(ref int style)
        {
            style = 0;
            return mod.TileType("ExampleSapling");
        }
    }
}

My workbench (Trying to get a recipe but no luck. Says there is no method, but I don't know how to make a recipe like that.
Code: 
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
using Terraria.ObjectData;
using TerrariaOverhaul;

namespace JT.Tiles
{
    public class glitchworkbench : ModTile
    {
        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            Main.tileSolidTop[Type] = true;
            Main.tileFrameImportant[Type] = true;
            Main.tileNoAttach[Type] = true;
            Main.tileTable[Type] = true;
            Main.tileLavaDeath[Type] = true;
            TileObjectData.newTile.CopyFrom(TileObjectData.Style2x1);
            TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinateHeights = new int[]{ 18 };
            TileObjectData.addTile(Type);
            AddToArray(ref TileID.Sets.RoomNeeds.CountsAsTable);
            ModTranslation name = CreateMapEntryName();
            name.SetDefault("Glitch Workbench");
            Tooltip.SetDefault("Don't create a virus now!");
            AddMapEntry(new Color(200, 200, 200), name);
            disableSmartCursor = true;
            adjTiles = new int[]{ TileID.WorkBenches };
        }
        public void OverhaulInit()
        {
            this.SetTag("flammable");
            this.SetTag("footstep_Wood");
        }
        public override void NumDust(int i, int j, bool fail, ref int num)
        {
            num = fail ? 1 : 3;
        }

        public override void KillMultiTile(int i, int j, int frameX, int frameY)
        {
            Item.NewItem(i * 16, j * 16, 32, 16, mod.ItemType("glitchworkbench"));
        }
        public override void AddRecipes()
        {
            ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
            recipe.AddIngredient(mod, "glitchitem", 8);
            recipe.AddTile(TileID.Workbenches);
            recipe.SetResult(this);
            recipe.AddRecipe();
        }
    }
}

And the item used to craft it. (Has no problems)
Code: 
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace JT.Items
{
    public class glitchitem : ModItem
    {
        public override void SetStaticDefaults()
        {
            Tooltip.SetDefault("Are you a debugger?"
            + "Can be used for special crafting.");
        }

        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            item.width = 16;
            item.height = 16;
            item.maxStack = 999;
            item.value = 305;
            item.rare = 1;
        }
    }
}



Did you check and see if the sounds exist inside the mod? It's saying that certain sounds do not exist.

[How to: click "more info" on the mod in the mods menu, and then click extract. It should appear in "Mod Sources" at Documents/My Games/Terraria/Modloader/Mod Sources. Then open it and find the Sounds folder. If you read the error, it should say where the sound was supposed to be. If the sound isn't there, then try again and reinstall the mod. But DONT enable it. Instead, extract it and find the sound. If the sound is there, then go the Mod Sources in the main menu. Find the name of the mod and click "Build + Reload" It should work. Tell me if you have any further problems.

Recipes don't go in ModTile, they can go in Mod and ModItem.
 
Ohh, okay thanks. After reading this reply I checked and saw there was not just a Tile but an ITEM for the same object. Thanks for that. I dun goofed.

I did reinstall tML but it didn't work, but where do I find Terraria's cache?

To verify a games Cache in Steam, right click on that game in your library then click properties. Click on the Local Files tab then click Verify Integrity of Game Files.

Also, can you run the vanilla version of the game without problem? If that's also broken and Verifying the game doesn't fix that, then you may need to reinstall the XNA framework, or something like that.
 
So, I have the issue of Terraria locking up whenever the Mod Browser is opened, with this error message:
zvofp1.png


From what I gather, the gist of it is this; I live in Turkey. Imgur is blocked in Turkey. When the Mod Browser tries to load up mod thumbnails, if those thumbnails are Imgur images, it will screw up. Could we have a setting that disables thumbnails in the Browser?

Thanks, we'll try to resolve this next update, for now use: http://javid.ddns.net/tModLoader/DirectModDownloadListing.php
 
How do you make spreading blocks?

and how do you make an enemy have a rotating animation, like dungeon guardian?

How do you change living mahogany trees to require jungle grass to spawn?

Can you just add liquids already, and I think that if it mixes with a liquid it does not know what to do with (other mods), it should default to a set block

How do you set world gen to spawn walls in a custom biome, and spawning similar to jungle

Some quick questions: When I download tmodloader, should I just move my .plr files and .wld files to it or should I copy them first? Should I move the .bak files? Should I move the "map" folders for the characters or not?
Also, if I move my worlds into tmodloader, are they going to be affected by the mods I have enabled or will the worlds stay vanilla? Because I have a completed regular world and I'm working on expert mode, but I was also thinking of trying Calamity.
Thanks for making tmodloader!

If you want to move your world, I'd recommend copy and paste rather than move, so you have a backup.
However I'd really recommend to create a new world, so you get world gen and stuff

I am going to make a new world, I just want to know if my mods will affect my existing one (for example, if a mod adds an enemy to the forest, will it spawn in my vanilla world). And yeah, I think copy+pasting is a good idea, because I have backups.
