Can you maybe try Window -> Reset Window LayouT

I'll have to figure that out somehow, I was showing them to me by default ever since I installed MVS. Can you try this?
This should fix your problem.

That only works for the file I choose to include to the project. Every .png file I add after that becomes invisible until i press Show all files.
Edit: I found the problem. When I put in the .png files I put them in the folder for the mod, not through Visual Studio. When I drag and drop them directly into Visual Studio they become visible. My bad.
That is because only files included in the project show. There's nothing you can do about that. You can automatically add files by Right Click -> Existing Item or dragging the images into the 'Items' folder.

I edited my post, I managed to solve the problem. Thanks for your help
There is actually a way to do it programmatically, the only problem is the wildcard will dissappear the moment you touch the folder from within MVS. So to me that is not a right approach
If you want, you can hand edit your csproj file.
There will be an itemgroup somewhere saying things like this:
You'll want to delete content like that and add this wildcard:
This will add any file in the folder. Or only for png:

Okay, I believe you. When I did this I didn't right-click the solution in the solution manager, I clicked file then I went looking through every single template category looking for a blank project template and didn't find one. I resorted to looking it up online and still couldn't find it, attempted uninstalling the program but it froze in the process so that was a real pain, restarted, uninstalled it, came here and posted, read your post, attempted re-installing it, froze during installation, tried cancelling it, froze during cancellation. Thanks the task manager for helping me ever so greatly in ending their faulty processes. I can't even begin to comprehend as to why I even began installing Visual Studio again when I already had Express and the .iso for it that I intended to put it on the other computer. Can you confirm this one thing for me, when you click file > new project > can you find an empty project? If you can then that means that I must have clicked on something wrong on the initial installation that would not pop-up on any of the attempted re-installations (probably because they were unsuccessful). Thanks for the future post, hopefully it will put my mind to ease with an answer.
Yes you can. Just gotta make sure you have at least the c# workspace. Just don't do it via the top menu, there you can create an empty solution.
You want to right click the solution -> new project -> windows desktop (on the left) -> Empty Project
I'm pretty sure I put these exact steps in this tutorial...
Edit: Pretty sure it works from the top menu too, just make sure you're in the 'Windows Desktop' and it should be somewhere in the middle.

It works from the top menu too. It should work from every "New Project" when you have the c# workspace.

The thing is though, the tldr was tldr for me.
? If you follow the tl;dr everything should've went smoothly.

I meant the tldr version was too long for me and I didn't read it jokingly.
Lol, your problem then. Read it properly first :S

I was joking about my stupidity, I wasn't being serious .___.

- Note for MVS 2015: Also creates an invisible .vs folder inside which will show on the build tab, I could ask @bluemagic123 to remove it from the build list but for now simply ignore it.

Whats the problem?
Edit: Nevermind, figured it out x) I just replaced "TerranovaItem" into "GlobalItem"
Code:
using System;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
using Terranova.Items;
using Terranova.Items.Armor;
using Terranova.NPCs;
namespace Terranova
{
public class Terranova : Mod
{
public override void SetModInfo(out string name, ref ModProperties properties)
{
name = "Terranova";
properties.Version = "v1";
properties.Author = "Hek";
properties.Autoload = true;
}
public override void Load()
{
SetGlobalItem(new TerranovaItem());
SetGlobalNPC(new TerranovaNPC());
}
public override void AddRecipes()
{
ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(this);
recipe.AddIngredient(null, "ItemID.DirtBlock", 1);
recipe.SetResult(ItemID.GravitationPotion, 20);
recipe.AddRecipe();
RecipeHelper.AddBossRecipes(this);
}
}

Sorry I didn't notice your posts, somehow I didn't receive a notification.
Glad you could manage to fix it on your own
