tModLoader Esper Class

[LadyLone]

Wiki link here, still being updated for the 1.0 release

Discord​

This mod is for 1.3 only. If you're looking for the 1.4 port, it is rolled into a bigger mod: Cerebral Mod

There is a zip file at the bottom of this post containing the latest version of this mod to download, especially useful when the Mod Browser is down.

This open source mod adds a new class, the Esper, who uses telekinetic damage weapons. These are weapons controlled by the cursor, following it like the Magic Missile and Flying Knife. This is a playstyle that allows for the player to attack from around corners and anywhere on screen their weapons can reach.

The wiki for this mod contains a lot more details than listed in this forum post. It will take some time before it is fully updated to cover the new content added in 1.0.

This mod currently has a full release (1.0) on the Mod Browser. There's enough content up to cover the entire game, including post Moon Lord items. In general this mod covers...

• New class, the Esper, that deals telekinetic damage.
• Plenty of new weapons.
• 6 new armor sets, plus 8 individual armor pieces.
• Some new accessories.

Spoiler: Vanilla Changes

• The flying knife is now a telekinetic damage weapon.

Spoiler: Resource

This class uses a resource named psychosis. By default, players start with 10. Using Esper weapons drains this at a rate of 1 per second, 3 per second for a few Esper weapons. Should the player completely run out (with a bit of leeway below 0), they'll get the Psyched Out debuff, causing further use of Esper weapons to drain HP. In return, telekinetic crit chance is increased by 20% during this state. Psychosis will recover after a moment of not being drained.

Psychic Eyes

Enemies can sometimes drop these, acting very similar to stars dropped by enemies. These recover 5 psychosis on pickup and is never directly added to the player's inventory. Pickup range increases with base max psychosis.

Lotus Petals

These permanently increase max psychosis.

Tainted/Sanguine: Permanently increases max psychosis by 1, up to 15. Crafted from 2 corrupt/crimson seeds at a placed bottle or Alchemy Table.
Ancient: Permanently increases max psychosis by 1, up to 20. Requires at least 15 max psychosis. Crafted from 10 bones at a placed bottle or Alchemy Table.
Hallowed: Permanently increases max psychosis by 1, up to 25. Requires at least 20 max psychosis. Crafted from 3 hallowed bars at a placed bottle or Alchemy Table.
Solar: Permanently increases max psychosis by 1, up to 30. Requires at least 25 max psychosis. Crafted from 3 solar tablet fragments and 1 nanites at a placed bottle or Alchemy Table.

  - Terra Vial Necklace will now correctly apply all debuffs instead of only 5 of them by using a custom debuff with all of the combined debuffs.
  - Mostly added Boss Checklist's Boss Log support for this mod's loot, with the moon event bosses currently not covered.
  - The method to add critical damage to telekinetic damage based on vanilla crit increases (due to no allCrit stat) no longer accounts for throwing crit chance, since newer mods tend to not touch it.
  - Updated handling of Thorium Mod mod calls.
  - Vortex Tower now drops Gravity Fragments.
  - Canister projectiles now do more damage (up to 40% more) the higher up they fall onto mobs. They also get wider up to a limit as well.
  - Desert Wanderer set bonus now reduces life drained while using Esper weapons in Over Psychosis state by 25% instead of giving 30% more psychosis regen.
  - Taurus set bonus changed to allow a special kind of dashing that gives immunity frames, but costs psychosis to use.
  - Added LuiAFK styled charms. While that mod is loaded, 30 of any Esper Class buff potion can be crafted into an unlimited charm that works while in the inventory. All 3 buff potion charms can also be combined.
  - Fixed most of the janky collision with Esper projectiles, although sawblades remain unaffected.
  - Added Gravity accessories.
  - Added Gravity Drill.
  - Buffed Psi Prime Saw damage from 48 to 60.
  - Buffed damage from boulders rolling fast.
  - Added several new weapons, with content for the hardmode dungeon, most of the moon event bosses (Ice Queen currently missing), Golem, a craftable post Golem weapon, a Solar Eclipse enemy, and even a single post Moon Lord weapon due to when the weapon sprites were made.
• 0.6.1: Switching away from the current TK weapon while using it now cancels its projectile in use. This should fix free psychosis usage if switching to a non-TK weapon and unintentional psychosis usage if no TK projectile is in use
  - Having Expanded Sentries loaded aside this mod without imkSushi's Mod also loaded should no longer cause an error stopping this mod and Expanded Sentries from loading together.
  - Fixed Torch Twirler having the wrong dust and light.
  - Multiplayer issues with psychosis should be fixed.
• 0.6: Added several new weapons, a helmet piece, and few accessories to cover the period between post mecha bosses and right after defeating Plantera.
  - Plenty of redone sprites, mostly for weapons.
  - Jar weapons now require shaking in order to release projectiles. Also added shake effects for the Hellbat Jar and Pixie Jar.
  - Standardized Esper buff potion durations to now all be 5 minutes long.
  - Psychosis regeneration is now based on max base psychosis, not total psychosis from temporary boosts.
  - Regenerating to full psychosis now has feedback similar to regenerating mana to full.
  - Pixie Jar projectiles no longer can chase in water, based off of the Pixie NPC behavior.
  - Changed the sell prices for many weapons, massively making them cheaper to reforge, although very few cost somewhat more to reforge.
  - Did an overhaul of the UI code. Most of it is under the hood changes, but should make the UI function just a bit better, especially in regards to UI scaling.
  - Fixed Skeleton Bone Lobber being sold pre-hardmode.
  - The combat text from psychosis restoration is now pink instead of green.
  - Using psychosis potions now damages the player equal to the amount of psychosis restored instead of triggering the Side Effects debuff.
• 0.5: Added several new weapons, armor, and accessories to cover early hardmode, up and including the mecha bosses. This includes two full armor sets (one in pre-hardmode) and seven armor pieces.- Nerfed damage of Tin Sawblade from 8 to 7.
  - Changed tooltip for the Butcher's Barbs.
  - Molten Boulder crafting changed to now only give 5 instead of 10 per Hellstone Bar.
  - Buffed damage of Eye Jar from 13 to 15 and corrected tooltip saying "eye" instead of "eyes".
  - Added clientside config to show the Esper Class tag on mod related items like other mods that add custom classes, off by default.
  - Psychic Eye grab range now increaes with base max psychosis.
  - Slightly buffed the damage of Cactus Balls, now called Bouncers. Cactus Ball from 8 to 10, evil Cactus Balls from 18 to 20, and Pearl Cactus Ball from 58 to 64.
  - Very slightly buffed the damage of the Shadow Orbit from 14 to 15.
  - Desert Wanderer armor now has an additional set bonus of becoming immune to Mighty Wind.
  - Projectiles released by jars now face the correct way instead of backwards.
  - Soil Sawblade now consumes 1/20 of damage bonus in dirt blocks on use and per second, to match the latest JoostMod update.
  - There is now support for Boss Loot Plus and very slightly Geronimo's Tinkerings.
  - Changed Fire Vial Necklace recipe from Hellstone bars to Iron/Lead bars and Gel, along with rarity, making it an early game accessory.
• 0.3.2: Changed how item usage psychosis drain is handled, fixing psychosis not being drained while holding onto a rope.
  - Changed naming of telekinesis to telekinetic
• 0.3.1: Changed Eye Jar to be craftable from Post-Eye Surface Forest Tokens instead of Underground Tokens via imkSushi's Mod.
  - Added mod icon.
• 0.3: Released.

If I'm offline for 60+ days, then I give permission for anyone to take over ownership and development of these mods.

Reserving this post in-case I ever need it for something to stand out from the main post.

 

[direwolf420]

Excited to see how this mod will develop!

 

[NuovaPrime]

Some gifs of weapons in game could be nice, but sounds like an interesting concept. With some more content to span the whole game it could be pretty neat.

Okay, added some gifs. The next major update I plan is to cover early hardmode, up to the mecha bosses, including Hallowed items and weapons from those bosses.

I feel like this should be said...



Bioshock reference plz

You're going to have to be more specific. Are you talking about Plasmids, Vigors, or something else? I rather not put in references just for the sake of it, they should at least do something too, like having TF2's Wrangler in Expanded Sentries take on a useful function.

Well, I think the Telekinesis Plasmid Bottle, could be an accessory.
As in the game it introduces Telekinesis to the player, here it could increase the strength of the players Telekinesis power.

For how to get it, you get it at the bottom of the ocean, as a legitimate reference, in a Rapture Chest of some sort, something that looks like it came from Rapture..
I don't know, if you came up with all this i'm sure you can expand upon the idea

There are plenty of franchises with psychic powers that could be references. I may or may not want to go with something that has a bigger focus on psychic powers than BioShock, like Psychonauts. I'm not sure how to spawn new chests on world gen, but I can certainly add stuff to water chests. I'm not sure what I want to put in water chests just yet. Ideally, at some point, I'll have an Esper Class item for each vanilla chest that spawns except for the biome chests, of which, I would have one for a TK weapon.

The mod is still early stage, but I rather not have this big focus on putting in references just yet, although what you mentioned does do something useful than just be a reference. I mention this because I feel I may get annoyed with multiple people wanting to put in references and it almost becomes more of a focus on that than original content for the mod.

I totally agree with you there as a mod developer, but references bring fun to the player when found.
new chests on world gen isn't too hard if I recall properly.
Take your time as it's a major WIP, but references can never hurt!

 

[Pollen]

I found a bug. Psychosis isn't drained while on a rope.

 

[MasterOfBob777]

Looks like an awesome mod but consider changing telekinesis damage to telekinetic damage.

I knew at some point someone would find a rather glaring bug. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

This change and the above bug being fixed are now addressed in the 0.3.2. update.

 

[SkyanUltra]

This looks incredibly interesting! I like the idea of the class. Going to try it out once I get a chance.

Some ideas I have that I think you might find interesting, down in the spoiler below.

Spoiler: Suggestions

First Ideas are mainly references to Earthbound, it only fits.

Ness Outfit
These would be bought from the Clothier at night. Consists of a Cap, Shirt, and Shorts. Each piece gives 10% telekinetic damage, 5% telekinetic crit chance, and the cap would give a bonus 10% telekinetic velocity. Overall the set grants 4/7/6 defense (17 Defense Total) and the set bonus will grant the player 50-100% extra crit damage and a special little effect whenever you get a crit. (SMAAAAASH!!)

Sword of Kings
Functions similarly to the Flying Knife. Deals 30 Damage, and upon hit the enemy will have another Sword of Kings (like the Influx Waver) show up around them that will home onto them and deal extra damage. Sprite would look similar to the katana, as seen here. Could be a 1/128 drop from an enemy that is similar to the starman (or just straight up add a starman reference



Now for non-reference ideas:

For armor, you could consider making a set you craft based of the the moon during early-hardmode. It could be crafted using meteorite and pixie dust and would give ~30 defense (8/12/10) and would grant a various amount of telekinetic bonuses. It's set bonus could be that you will materialize meteorites around you that will circle you, and when an enemy approaches you it will break off from orbiting around you and home onto the enemy and break apart into a bunch of meteorite fragments upon hitting them.

The Lunar Fragments you use could be Comet Fragments. I'd say it fits as comets are near-earth objects that orbit around Earth, similar to the ESP class and how they control objects as if they float and orbit around you. The shape would be a long squiggly path like this, and their color could be fuschia, a color between pink and red. I tried to avoid other colors from different mods used in lunar fragments, but other colors that could work are a color between stardust fragments and a deep blue. I made an example here if you want to see it. If you'd like, you can use it, just throw my name in the credits or something for the sprite in the mod description.

Love the idea, will see how well it is executed tomorrow as i've spent WAAAY too much time up to try it now, I have to do my quarrentine school work tomorrow anyways, haha.

 

[SkyanUltra]

Also, the eyes from the Eye Jar are facing the wrong way, and fly backwards. And I think all of the jars have trouble when they run into a wall or ceiling.

 

[LadyLone]

After plenty of work, the wiki for this mod is in a very good state. It's not quite perfect and could use with further improvements, but for the time being, it should be complete and everything should have a page for it. It can be found here. The next major update is going to be 0.5, following a very similar pattern to how I've updated Expanded Sentries. It'll have over 30 new weapons, one or two full armor sets, 7 helmets, and some more accessories. It'll cover early hardmode and up and including the mecha bosses.

A whole armor set is quite a lot to add for a suggestion. Yes, it has a unique function and the Desert Wanderer armor is a reference, but that's secondary to being a pre-boss armor. A weapon or accessory is much easier to manage. I do have plans for an early hardmode armor set that's not just helmets. Still, the orbting meteorites ideas could maybe be used in some sort of fashion. I already have in mind what lunar fragments this mod could use, but thank you for your suggestion. I'll see what happens when I get to the point to add end game items.

Also, the eyes from the Eye Jar are facing the wrong way, and fly backwards. And I think all of the jars have trouble when they run into a wall or ceiling.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I should have that fixed for the next update. When you say trouble when they run into a wall or ceiling, could you be a bit more specific? As in the projectiles face the wrong way compared to what they're moving afterward?

 

[Phenomalix008]

This is a super cool mod! This is such a unique idea for a new class! But just to make sure I understand better, would the Bloodboil from the Thorium Mod count as a telekinetic weapon?

(Here's a link if you don't know what that is)

So far, no modded weapons have been converted to telekinetic weapons. It has crossed my mind to turn the Cosmic Dagger into one. The Bloodboil doesn't count since it's not making an object follow the cursor, but rather, creating magic at the cursor.

[DomLutch]

Just been playing around a little bit with this mod... Is it okay if I tinker around in the code so I can help support this mod through adding in new weapons, armour, etc?
If not then how about sprite work? I'm not good with spriting but I'd like to improve so... please?
Oh and finally I was thinking some of these weapons, like the saw blades for instance, could have a right-click ability that causes them to orbit around you indefinitely, however, while orbiting around you it consumes 2 psychosis permanently. So you could either choose to have a ring of orbitals or use the weapons normal, or both!
Anyway, would really like to support this mod in any way I can and hope to see it grow, but for now, cya!
