Hmm.. is there a way to force the monster to appear only where there are certain tiles? If possible, please help =)

According to the Terraria wiki, forest grass is required for King Slime to spawn, so I'd think so, but I'm no coder, so I can't help with that.

@Yoraiz0r were you going to finish your sentence?

Added Tile boolean json field "chest", used for the purpose of allowing the tile to act as a chest object (you still need to

0_0 Didn't even realize the sentence got cut when I moved it from 1 doc to another.

You still need to include the code for creating, opening and destroying the chest object yourself, this boolean only allows the chest interface to stay open if the player's chest anchor is of your tile's type. (which would otherwise close)

And what exactly does that code look like...?

Help please!
i try to launch a server on r15 and it just says "
Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'tAPI, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of it
s dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
at Terraria.ProgramServer.Main(String[] args)"

I don't know what I did but the tAPI application doesnt run either it is a PDB from when I installed it. I tried re-installing and redownloading and re-modding and deleting my
folder but nothing works.....

This is a temporary problem that happens when people don't use the Terraria game launcher by Eikester (because in the old times we sort of assumed we'd just make it mandatory) - if you want to fix the problem for now duplicate your Terraria.exe and name it "tAPI.exe", then it will be able to find the tAPI assembly.

on placing the tile call chest.place(top left x, top left y) , make the tile return false in killtile if there's items in the chest / call the chest.DestroyChest(top left x, top left y) if you're intending to let the player mine the tile out, and make right click open the chest ... that's about it, you might want mousehover too =P

For a while now, I've been trying to make projectile after-images to work, however, it is currently still not working. I have narrowed it down to either PostDraw(SpriteBatch sb) for the projectile or PostGameUpdate(SpriteBatch sb). The code so far...

Code:

public override void PostDraw(SpriteBatch sb)
        {
            Color color21 = Lighting.GetColor((int)((double)projectile.position.X + (double)projectile.width * 0.5) / 16, (int)(((double)projectile.position.Y + (double)projectile.height * 0.5) / 16.0));
            SpriteEffects effects = SpriteEffects.None;
            int num98 = 0;
            int num99 = 0;
            float num100 = (float)(Main.projectileTexture[projectile.type].Width - projectile.width) * 0.5f + (float)projectile.width * 0.5f;
            for(int num126 = 0; num126 < 10; num126++)
            {
                Color alpha4 = projectile.GetAlpha(color21);
                float num127 = (float)(9 - num126) / 9f;
                alpha4.R = (byte)((float)alpha4.R * num127);
                alpha4.G = (byte)((float)alpha4.G * num127);
                alpha4.B = (byte)((float)alpha4.B * num127);
                alpha4.A = (byte)((float)alpha4.A * num127);
                float num128 = (float)(9 - num126) / 9f;
                Main.spriteBatch.Draw(Main.projectileTexture[projectile.type], new Vector2(projectile.oldPos[num126].X - Main.screenPosition.X + num100 + (float)num99, projectile.oldPos[num126].Y - Main.screenPosition.Y + (float)(projectile.height / 2) + projectile.gfxOffY), new Rectangle?(new Rectangle(0, 0, Main.projectileTexture[projectile.type].Width, Main.projectileTexture[projectile.type].Height)), alpha4, projectile.rotation, new Vector2(num100, (float)(projectile.height / 2 + num98)), num128 * projectile.scale, effects, 0f);
            }
        }

Code:

public override void PostGameDraw(SpriteBatch sb)
        {
            for(int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
            {
                if(Main.projectile[i].active) //Testing with all projectiles
                {
                    Color color21 = Lighting.GetColor((int)((double)Main.projectile[i].position.X + (double)Main.projectile[i].width * 0.5) / 16, (int)(((double)Main.projectile[i].position.Y + (double)Main.projectile[i].height * 0.5) / 16.0));
                    SpriteEffects effects = SpriteEffects.None;
                    int num98 = 0;
                    int num99 = 0;
                    float num100 = (float)(Main.projectileTexture[Main.projectile[i].type].Width - Main.projectile[i].width) * 0.5f + (float)Main.projectile[i].width * 0.5f;
                    for(int num126 = 0; num126 < 10; num126++)
                    {
                        Color alpha4 = Main.projectile[i].GetAlpha(color21);
                        float num127 = (float)(9 - num126) / 9f;
                        alpha4.R = (byte)((float)alpha4.R * num127);
                        alpha4.G = (byte)((float)alpha4.G * num127);
                        alpha4.B = (byte)((float)alpha4.B * num127);
                        alpha4.A = (byte)((float)alpha4.A * num127);
                        float num128 = (float)(9 - num126) / 9f;
                        Main.spriteBatch.Draw(Main.projectileTexture[Main.projectile[i].type], new Vector2(Main.projectile[i].oldPos[num126].X - Main.screenPosition.X + num100 + (float)num99, Main.projectile[i].oldPos[num126].Y - Main.screenPosition.Y + (float)(Main.projectile[i].height / 2) + Main.projectile[i].gfxOffY), new Rectangle?(new Rectangle(0, 0, Main.projectileTexture[Main.projectile[i].type].Width, Main.projectileTexture[Main.projectile[i].type].Height)), alpha4, Main.projectile[i].rotation, new Vector2(num100, (float)(Main.projectile[i].height / 2 + num98)), num128 * Main.projectile[i].scale, effects, 0f);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

There seems to be nothing wrong with the code and I checked the placement of the hooks, but still can't figure out why it's not working...

Both of your methods are fine, though unclean...the reason neither of them work is because by default terraria doesn't update the oldPos array for all the projectiles, just those who 'need' it.

Honestly I'd suggest just making and managing your own array of old positions, you can have it be as lengthy as you want that way or only update it when necessary =P

(Made a quick check, you can't trigger the vanilla updater on, using the AI hook to update the old positions or postAI should be satisfactory)

djDarkX · Apr 28, 2015

Wanted to add another little bug I noticed. It seems that now all vanilla worlds can be imported for some odd reason. In the list, I'm missing about half the worlds I have in vanilla, so I don't know why that would occur. Hope this will get fixed as well. Still, r15 works nicely despite these bugs!

Thank you so much! After a little bit of digging, I found out how the oldPos vectors were stored, so I copied that over and just put that for loop within the PostAI() function and it worked, which means that I didn't need to make my own oldPos vector array after all. In the future though, I might make my own array for oldPos in the future.

I'd assume you'd just have to set Main.npcTexture[npcID] to the desired image.
So for example, if you put this in your ModBase class's OnLoad method,
Main.npcTexture[npcID] = textures["imageName"];

GRAndroyds · Apr 29, 2015

OK, new to tAPI but OK at C#. Having difficulty finding all the hooks that are available so this is what I'm trying to do:

On a pickaxe/axe/weapon item only enable the tool functions whilst LeftAlt is pressed (tired of destroying my house when a boss randomly spawns within)

so....

if (KState.Special.Alt.Down())
{
// disable shoot functions if L-Alt down
// and add "pick": 100, "axe": 100
}
else
{
// add "shoot":
// remove "pick": and "axe":
}

1) Is this possible?
2) Where would I put it?

TIA, Glyn.

Start a game then, after selecting your player, on the World Select you choose <Import Vanilla>

Game will then display a list of worlds it has found in the vanilla Worlds folder (i.e. My Games/Terraria/Worlds) and you can choose one of those.

That World is now loaded, converted and saved (to My Games/Terraria/tAPI/Worlds) and you return to the World selector again (with the imported map listed.)
