Remove the constructor altogether in all cases.

'TAPI.Defs' does not contain a definition for 'npcs'

NPCDef.byName

'Terraria.Player' does not contain a definition for 'noKnockback'

knockbackResist = 0f; //1f is the default, 0f is what Cobalt Shield etc. do

'TAPI.Defs' does not contain a definition for 'gores'

GoreDef.gores

Wow! That's awesome! BTW, does r11 support mods for older versions, for 1.2.2?

A lot of stuff changed, so most likely not without some tinkering. We took the opportunity to change some stuff, because r10 was still considered a WIP version, unlike r11.

The problem with Gore solved. But what constructor I must remove? Can you Bold it? Thanks.

All of them. Do you know what a constructor is? Basically, lines like:

public ClassName(args here) : base(args) { }

We dropped using them, because they were tedious to write.

Yaaay, now everything is working! Thank you again!

 

[W1K]

So wait, now that we don't need constructors anymore, we just need to include the methods? Kinda like old tConfig?

 

[Shockah]

You still need the using statements, and namespace and class declarations. Other than that - yep.

 

[W1K]

Yeah I just realized what you meant. Tho I've been wondering, now that we don't have a constructor, how do we refer to the object if we don't declare the name of the var anymore. Is there a sort of default name in the background?

Also I just realized, look at the modding community and the peoples titles. Yorai is the Wizard. Shockah is the Grandson of the Wizard. I'm the Witch.

You still need a class declaration, so it's fine, as it contains the name.
