Standalone [1.3] tModLoader - A Modding API

[TheSimpler]

@TheSimpler do you have the Steam version of Terraria? or the GOG version? Because I get the same error that you do and I'm wondering if that's why that side-by-side configuration error happens.

I'm Using GOG.com version of terraria

At the moment tModLoader doesn't support the GOG version, since no one with the GOG version has volunteered to help out yet.

I can't wait for ModPlayer to be added (a GlobalPlayer would also be nice). That way I don't have to take a long roundabout way just to add extra stats like a fire rate multiplier.

There would be no point in GlobalPlayer, since there's only one type of player. ModPlayer would basically be the same thing as what you'd expect GlobalPlayer to be, except with the additional capabilities of storing information specific to each player.

Well in that case, I LOVE IT!

Is there ModWorld?

Is there ModWorld?

No, not yet. BUT:
v0.6.2: Hooks for worlds
Just 'regular' world hooks I guess...

And how do I fix my bunny boss switching direction in the air?

EDIT: Don't worry, I figured it out.

My boss always drops lesser healing potions... how do I change that? I want it to be greater healing potions.

Use something like:

public override void NPCLoot()
{
    Item.NewItem((int)npc.position.X, (int)npc.position.Y, npc.width, npc.height, ItemID.GreaterHealingPotion);
}

On your boss.

{

}

On your boss.

He still drops the Lesser Healing Potions (15, I believe) and drops only one Greater Healing Potion.

Hmm, don't really know if you can remove the dropping of lesser Healing Potions this way, then. To spawn more Greater Healing Potions however, just do:

Item.NewItem((int)npc.position.X, (int)npc.position.Y, npc.width, npc.height, ItemID.GreaterHealingPotion, 10);

Where '10' is the amount you want to spawn...

In the ModNPC docs, there is a method called
public virtual void BossLoot(ref string name, ref int potionType)

and one of the parameters is potionType.
Hmm... its virtual...

EDIT: Nevermind. Found out potionType is actually item ID and name can just be the display name.

Ah, you figured it out yourself, gj!

If you still need some help with that, the following will work:

public override void BossLoot(ref string name, ref int potionType)
{
    potionType = ItemID.SuperHealingPotion;
    base.BossLoot(ref name, ref potionType);
}

How do I test for a NPC. I want one to die when another dies.

An earlier post mentioned this code, maybe it might work?:

public virtual void AI()
{
  if(npc.life <= 0)
    {
      ModNPC.SpawnNPC(...)
    }
}

Also, "Disco Ball" buff...

How to I allow you to get seeds while breaking grass on a weapon, like the blowpipe does. Also, what use style does the blowpipe use.

I don't know about your first question, need to look into that... Second, though (these are the default settings for the Blowpipe in the SC):

this.useStyle = 5;
this.autoReuse = true;
this.useAnimation = 45;
this.useTime = 45;
this.name = "Blowpipe";
this.width = 38;
this.height = 6;
this.shoot = 10;
this.useAmmo = 51;
this.useSound = 63;
this.damage = 9;
this.shootSpeed = 11f;
this.noMelee = true;
this.value = 10000;
this.knockBack = 3.5f;
this.toolTip = "Allows the collection of seeds for ammo";
this.ranged = true;

Where you should replace 'this' with 'projectile' ofc
