Thanks,
Drok

Oh, that's strange, because TheHuckleberryWill's sword tutorial isn't working for me. I'd post code but I'm on mobile(and I have to got to sleep)also, there is no error in Terraria when I test. I guess I'll use jsonlint for help. And I'd probably learn about constructors tomorrow, thanks for the tip though

same problem here.
this is code i am using
"displayName": "Blade Of Darkness",
"texture": "item/Blade Of Darkness"
"size": [64, 64],
"maxStack": 1,
"value":[0,0,0,10],
"rare": 7,
"tooltip": "This Sword IS Forged With Dark Powers",
"useStyle":1,
"useAnimation":25,
"useTime":25
"damage":900
"knockback":10,
"usesSound":1,
"autoReuse":true,
"useTurn":true,
"melee":true,

"recipes":
[{
"items": {"Dirt Block": 1,"intermanlModname:User.Blade_Of_Darkness"}
"titles":[ "Work Bench" ],
"creates": 1
}]

There's tModLoader and PRISM for Terraria v1.3. You'll just have to see which one you like more. They're both still in development though, so do not expect full support for all and everything

The part where it says "internal mod name" is where you put your internal mod name. That's why it won't work.

if you still want to play tAPI just get terraria collecters edition it has 1.2.4.1

 

[MegaZeDa]

Could anybody help me ?

 

[Mortlock]

I'm not sure (kinda suck at this) but it looks like your Thorium mod is broken. I dunno what you could do apart from uninstalling it.

So I'm having an issue with tAPI.
When ever I click on it with Game Launcher it makes a launching sound and the launch button becomes un-clickable. Then it plays another sound and I can press it again, That is it. It won't run no matter what I try.
Can anyone help me?

Sounds like it's failing to launch for some reason.

1.3 changed some file names and broke tAPI.

Ah yes, that is it. One of the textures' names changed, I believe.

 

[Eli10293]

The name was CraftButton.xnb I believe

 

[silent_ptr]

Yes, that's the one. I had problems with that myself. I gave up and moved on to tModLoader

 

[Kira]

Well that's depressing...
Thanks anyways!

I recommend you move on to tModLoader. It's not too different and there's already quite a few mods for it (notably mine )

 

[Kira]

Okay, I'll try it out!

That is wrong. There is a HUGE difference between the two:tModloader doesn't use .jsons, it is all in .cs files. This makes it harder to work with than tAPI.
