Hey, Im quite new to the Terraria Modding scene but I do alot of coding in other things such as Lua and Java. I would like to know if there are any videos or websites that you recommend I watch to get a better understanding or a place to learn C#.
I appreciate everyone who replies back.

Thank you once again,
SKY
 
A while ago a guy asked me for advice on modding and I think this info is still good so I'll leave it here with a few changes:
https://github.com/blushiemagic/tModLoader/tree/master/ExampleMod this is a great example (duh) to use for when you are modding. If you can read and understand javascript you'll probably have an easy time understanding and writing in c#. Tmodloader specifically is pretty simple to use if you're not doing super complicated stuff.
https://github.com/blushiemagic/tModLoader/tree/master/patches/tModLoader/Terraria.ModLoader Here is where you can find all the hooks for stuff.
There is also a program called ILspy that allows you to see the source code for terraria so you can find anything you need to use from normal terraria.

I recommend you start with making small mods at first then once you have met some people willing to code and sprite and you have enough experience you can make a big content mod. I've seen way to many people try to make big mods without an initial dev team and have no idea of how to mod.

I also recommend trying to solve any problems you encounter by looking it up because you don't learn anything by just copy pasting code.
 
Hey! Thanks for the help! Luckily I have a team (Friends) Who all script/Code so the big modpack thing is hopefully secured for another time. Im also terrible at spriting so I'll have to find someone for that

Thanks again!
