tModLoader Drop Your Weapon!

[Lavendarjosh]

Hey I also got an idea I don't know if u have it but the 4 prime weapons (ofc from skeletron prime he wields)

I'm kinda working on another mod that adds weapons to boss drops, and I've already done Skeletron Prime's laser and chainsaw. Could be a while until I release anything, though, I'm pritty busy at the time.

maybe this question is going to be ignored/obvious for reasons but:
Lavendarjosh do you think that it will be possible to make the paladin drops parts of his armor? because since theres the hammer and shield but not his armor.

Spriting armor is a pain. I've only done a vanity item once, and even then basically a recolor. Still a pain.

I've kinda fallen out of the modding scene lately, but if I find some time, maybe I'll take a look. I'll probably give up on it after twenty minutes or so, but it better than nothing, right?

but it wouldnt be more easy to see/extract the paladin sprite, resize and respriting the armor to fit into the character? but well its just an suggestion, you have the last word on this.

I personally am tired of seeing Paladin armor in mods, so I support @Lavendarjosh's decision. I think the best looking Paladin armor is in Thorium mod, and while it is a Healer armor, it looks amazing as vanity.

Here's a size comparison of a player-sized sprite and the one from the Paladin:

You could try to reduce the size, but I've done so a few times with the weapon sprites from this mod, and frankly, it's a major hassle. On top of that, you'd have to make over a dozen adjustments to make a complete sprite set for just one (!) part of the armor. Rinse and repeat for leg part, shoe part, arm part, and helmet.

I thought about doing something like "Drop Your Armor!" in the past already, but after realizing what had to be done, I decided against it.

I don't think there's really anything left that counts as a weapon, so there isn't any update planned. I've said somewhere above that I was working on another mod that adds weapons to boss drops, some ripped from the bosses (like the skeletron prime laser and saw), and some cobbled together from boss gore. But it's in an early stage, no content released yet. I hope I'll get the time to continue working on it in the near future, though.

I wish you luck on your mod.

Now with complete German translation! / Jetzt mit vollständiger deutscher Übersetzung!​

Note: The mod was updated to tModLoader v0.10, but you can still download the old release (v1.1.1) from the attachment, in case you updated, but are still running the old tModLoader.

Hello and welcome to my latest creation: Drop Your Weapon!

So what does this mod do?
It lets you loot your enemy's weapons. There aren't actually that many enemies in Terraria that use weapons, but didn't you sometimes wish Goblin Archers dropped their bow for you to use? Now they do!

It also makes the weapons the Town NPCs use purchasable from the respective vendor, with the exception of the Classy Cane which is sold by the Clothier and the Ale Tosser which is sold by the Mechanic.

The mod is available on the Mod Browser or as a .zip attached to this post.

The following weapons are added in the mod:

Spoiler: Weapons

The Goblin Bow drops from Goblin Archers

The Pirate Pistol drops from Pirate Deadeyes

The Pirate Crossbow drops from Pirate Crossbowers

The Hallowed Sword drops from Enchanted Swords

The Cursed Hammer drops from the Cursed Hammer

The Crimson Axe drops from from the Crimson Axe

The Happy Bomb drops from Clowns

Old One's Army Goblins drop their respective weapons (1/300 chance)

Goblin Javelin Throwers drop Javelins (3 different tiers)

The Ogre Club is dropped by the Ogre (1/25 chance)

The Gangsta Gun drops from the Snowman Gangsta

The Stabby Arm drops from Mister Stabby

The Elf Bow drops from Elf Archers

The Solar Spear drops from Drakanians

The Storm Diver Shotgun drops from Storm Divers

The Selenian Dual Swords drop from Selenians

The Pirate Cannon drops from Pirate Captains and can be purchased from the Pirate

The Alien Zapper drops from Giga Zappers

The Scutlix Blaster drops from Scutlix Riders

The Marksman's Rifle drops from Skeleton Snipers (1/50 chance)

The Combat Shotgun drops from Tactical Skeletons (1/50 chance)

The Slime Umbrella drops from Umbrella Slimes

The Unicorn Spear drops from Unicorns

The Mechanic's Wrench can be purchased from the Mechanic

Poison Syringes are purchasable from the Arms Dealer if the Nurse is present

The Truffle Tome can be purchased from the Truffle

Baubles can be purchased from Santa Claus

What's that? A secret end-game weapon maybe?

Spoiler: For those who don't like secrets

The Secret Box can be purchased from the Merchant after the Moonlord has been defeated

Droprates for most weapons are 1/100, or 1%.

Thanks go to:
Re Logic - obviously
bluemagic123 & the Team - for creating the tModLoader and the Example Mods
@Kazzymodus - for his tireless help with the melee weapon projectile code

Like my mod really, really much?

Nice stuff bro!

 

[ReusableLime20]

Downloading this right now!

I like it. though, the skeleton shotgun and sniper rifles seem kind of redundant since they already have drops exactly like those ones. but I love the ogre club

You are right, of course, but the dropped weapons didn't accurately reflect the weapons the respective enemies used. And the Marksman's Rifle has a unique mechanic in comparison to the vanilla Sniper Rifle.

 

[LowPower]

Love that unicorn spear.

Very interesting mod.

Um the skeleton sniper and tactical skeleton do drop their weapons in the form of the sniper rifle and tactical shotgun

Yes, they now have a chance to drop either of those weapons (or both if you're incredibly lucky).
The ones from the mod are functionally a little different, though, and their sprites are closer to what the enemies wield themselves, so I think they can coexist in harmony.

Ok I'm down with that explanation
