After long being overdue based on perfectionism, procrastination, and depression, this mod is finally here. This is the combination of my major 1.3 mods, Expanded Sentries and Esper Class. This is now my magnum opus Terraria mod. This is also the closest thing to me making a general content mod, although I currently don't have plans for new NPCs or world generation. There have been numerous changes and not just a 1-1 port job from 1.3.
This mod is currently on 0.5 release, located on the in-game mod browser and Steam workshop.
This is an open source mod that largely focuses on adding three new classes to the game.
-
Defender uses sentry weapons. To this end, summoner's sentry weapons have been split off from summoner and made part of sentry damage. A lot more sentry weapons are added along with armor sets, accessories, and potions.
- Esper uses telekinetic weapons. These follow the mouse cursor when in use like the Flying Knife. There are several weapon types for telekinetic weapons with the same basic gimmick, but behaves in different ways. For example, canisters that pour down liquid that expands with distance, boulders that deal more damage the faster they hit targets, and jars that require shaking up and down for a moment to spawn homing projectiles, just to name a few.
- Minstrel uses melodic weapons that all use an universal timing mechanic to attack with. This only shows on the HUD when a melodic weapon is selected. For the moment, it's mostly just lutes and a few guitars along with flutes, but more weapons are planned. This class is hardly playable right now unlike the other two which have full game content. This is mostly a sneak peak.
- Trickster uses throwing weapons, a former vanilla damage type. The weapons that used to be throwing damage have not been touched. Several new weapons are added with a big focusing on positioning and environmental usage. While this won't be the first or last mod to bring back throwing in some sort of way, my take is on resource free weapons that require planning to use effectively and a focus on dodging, even more than other classes in the form of rewards like damage buffs. Trickster armor would also include right click techniques that go on a cooldown afterward. There is a resource called knack that over 10 seconds, scales up throwing damage to 20% higher. This is lost upon getting hit, although damage over time effects do not count. This is mostly a sneak peak.
At the moment, the wiki for this mod is heavily WIP with a link coming soon, but it can be found in a very in-complete state on the wiki.gg site. However, the wikis for the 1.3 versions of Expanded Sentries and Esper Class still exists, although they won't show any 1.4 changes. In general...
- 4 new classes, with 2 being full game. Defender, which uses sentry weapons converted from summoner damage to sentry damage. Esper, which uses weapons that follow the cursor. Minstrel, using a timing mechanic to attack. Trickster, using throwing weapons designed around positioning.
- Plenty of new weapons.
- 10 new armor sets, plus 16 helmet pieces.
- Several new accessories.
- 600+ new items.
- Sentry weapons now deal sentry instead of summon damage by default.
- Sentry related armor and accessories now buff sentry damage instead of minion damage.
- Both of the above are configable.
- The Flying Knife is now a telekinetic damage weapon. It also gains a damage bonus if it moves far enough in the same direction.
- Backported Strategist buff from 1.4.4 till tModLoader updates to it. Right click on a DD2 war table to get an extra sentry slot.
- Sawblades can get stuck on slopes.
- Gravity Barrier Platform will display even when on the ground. Recommended to toggle accessory visibility off for it.
- Esper Shooter weapons, when unlocking their firing direction, may fire in a different direction. Easily fixable by moving the cursor.
- Pulsar Jetpack does not grant additional vertical speed while holding up.
- Gravity Barrier Platform has issues with disabling vertical speed while holding down while flying.
- Sentry crit chance is wonky. Normally should be at 0% with only increases from very specific sources. But prefixes can add to it.
- Gem Layers' and Pulsar armor turret projectiles don't scale correctly with sentry damage changes after placed.
- Pulsar armor turret doesn't scale with sentry damage, always having a fixed 300 damage.
- Replacing a Cerebral Mod chest (including dresser) on the ground with another chest does not return the replaced chest.
- Not all new furniture are as fully functional as vanilla ones.
- Pulsar Lamp does not trigger off properly with wiring.
- Not tested in multiplayer. Could be bugs that only happen on servers.
- New mod icon.
- Fully developed Minstrel and Trickster classes.
- A new revamped throwing class.
- More weapons, armors and accessories.
- Cross mod support to add new weapons and items to fit within the themes of the mods.
- Better balancing.
- Add more sentry weapons like from the hardmode dungeon and moon events.
- Add Esper weapons for the following: 1 more Duke Fishron and Martian Madness, and ocean biome chest.
- Add Esper buff station.
- Possible Twirlers rework to be unique.
- Custom prefixes for the new classes.

There are a few mods that I added cross mod support for Cerebral Mod.

- Fargo's Souls Mod: There's enchantments for the new armor sets added by Cerebral Mod, including a Force of all the combined enchantments each for Defender and Esper.

- Recipe Browser: Under weapons, adds new categories for telekinetic and melodic weapons.
- HERO's Mod: Same as above.
- Colored Damage Types: Although any new damage types can now be configed, Cerebral Mod has built in colors for telekinetic and melodic damages.
- W1K's Weapon Scaling: Tier support only, not fine tuning per weapon.
- Thorium Mod: Like several above mods, there is support for the new crafting items added by this mod.
- New Beginnings: Added origins for Defender and Esper. Minstrel and Trickster coming once they get their full armor set.
This needs updating, hopefully to come at a later time as I work out getting this just right the first time as not to break any mods (which I suspect will be very little of any) due to changes here.
