tAPI Getting Started with Modding

[Minomutchi]

Is it just me, or does the tAPI builder not work for anyone? I've re-installed MULTIPLE times, and no luck.

It works for me, but same case, need to open ti trough tAPI.

I made a "Sources" folder in the "Mods" folder, and put the mod in there. Does the "Sources" folder have to be in "Local"? Or just "Mods"?

Oh, you're fine then on terms of a Sources folder.

I edited my previous post.
EDIT: The mod is perfectly fine, i checked with http://pro.jsonlint.com .
NOO TCF DON'T CLOSE ON US
Probably will be revamped though.

Then I have no idea what I'm doing wrong...

I checked there too, it said it was fine.

Hey @Pumpking, can I PM you so I can get a mod compiled? My stuff doesn't work.
[DOUBLEPOST=1420139211][/DOUBLEPOST]Then send the compiled .tapi file back if it works.

@Pumpking , is the problem that you can't craft your sword? If that's it, then I must ask if you corrected the error in the json where in the recipes, it stated
"recipes":
[{
"items": { "Spooly Wood": 70 },
"tiles": [ "Work Bench" ],
"creates": 1
}]
instead of
"recipes":
[{
"items": { "Spooky Wood": 70 },
"tiles": [ "Work Bench" ],
"creates": 1
}]

I'm pretty sure I corrected that. I'll try again.

One question, how can i make it, so a recipoe can choose between 2 types of ingredients? For example, i want to make Throwing Knife craftable, and i want to make it so it need either 1 Iron bar or 1 Lead Bar,what do i do?

Add another file that uses the alternate bars or put it in the same file

 

[Minomutchi]

Ok thanks

 

[Pumpking]

It's still not working...
I attached a ZIP file with a readable version of the weapon JSON.

 

[Minomutchi]

And how do i make it so you can craft it on either an iron/lead anvil or mythril/orichalcum anvil?

 

[Pumpking]

I think do the same thing, make 2 files with different crafting stations.

Try lowercase json

Spoiler: *Sample Here*

PumpkingsMod.json not PumpkingsMod.JSON and try the same for spooky wood sword .json not .JSON

Lol people are on the forums XD

 

[Minomutchi]

Ummm, anvil id: 16, lead anvil id: 16(2)?

How do i write it? Will writing down 16 will also allow the lead anvil? or i do i have to write 16(2)? or something like 16.2? and make a new file for it?

I'll try that.

16 means both anvils
Whatever ID the Mythril Anvil is the same as Orichalcum Anvil

 

[Minomutchi]

OOOOHHHH, ok thanks that makes it much easier

 

[Sapphron]

XD the forums are STILL under maintenance, but we're talking up a storm
EDIT: The reason I suggested that lowercase might work is that tAPI is case-sensitive. Maybe it works in .cs and .json files too, it's a tiny bit less of a hassle to write.

Add another file that uses the alternate bars or put it in the same file

In other words, I can put every one of the recipes for things that already exist in Vanilla Terraria all in the same file? It's a .cs file, right? Only a .cs file, and not a JSON file?
