Hi everyone! I'm a new modder that wants to make...well...mods :indifferent:

This is my first mod: the Malicious Mod!
This mod adds many bosses and content, and will add more alongside new weapons, crafting items, accessories, enemies etc.

Fiery Update(v0.41)!
This update adds a new boss, enemies and several new weapons and armors, all fire/molten/hell themed!


Click Here to join the Malicious Mod Discord Server!

Here are the current contents of the mod:
  • 6 Bosses with custom AI​
  • 155 Items​
  • Many weapons​
  • Some accessories​
  • 8 Armor sets​
  • 1 Town NPC​
  • 16 Enemies​
  • 1 Event​
  • ...and more!​

NOTE: I'm the only one currently developing this mod, and I'm not very great at spriting large bosses, so for now some of the sprites aren't that great.
I'm planning on do better sprites for the new versions, so if someone wants to help just join the mod's Discord Server!


For now, the mod adds 6 new bosses with custom AI made by me that could challenge the player in many ways!

The Flesh Amalgamate

FleshAmalgamate.png


The Flesh Amalgamate is a Pre-Hardmode Blood Moon boss. Its summoning item is dropped rarely by Blood Zombies and Dripplers, and can be summoned only at night (doesn't need to be a Blood Moon).
Its gear and armor is flesh/blood themed, to make the blood moon a more interesting event.
In the boss progression is a bonus boss placed between the Eye of Chtulu and the Queen Bee, its drops can make early/mid Pre-Hardmode much easier!


The Mosquito Mother

MosquitoMother.png


The Mosquito Mother is a Pre-hardmode jungle boss. She can be summoned in the Jungle using the Mosquito Doll, craftable using the drop of Mosquitoes, that spawns in the jungle after the Queen Bee is defeated.
It's supposed to be fought at least after the Queen Bee, but it's better if fought after Skeletron.


Battron, the Cave Ruler

Battron.png


Battron is a pre-hardmode cavern layer boss. He can be summoned with the Bat Snack while in the Cavern Layer.
It's supposed to be fought after Skeletron, because its fight will be a tough one. Prepare an arena and get ready to dodge his Sonic Wave Attacks!
If you will manage to defeat him, new enemies will start spawning underground, finally free from his oppression.


The Grand Granite Worm

GGW.png


The Grand Granite Worm is a colossal, pre-hardmode granite cave boss. It is summoned using the Granitic Sonar in the Cavern Layer (you can fight it anywhere in the cavern layer, without being limited to the Granite Caves).
This is the tougher of the mod's pre-hardmode bosses, fought right before the WoF, dealing extreme amount of damage with its head, going through blocks and shooting energy sparks at the player, so it's highly recommended a big arena and an appropriate mobility setup.


Deep Sea Goliath

DeepSeaGoliath.png


The Deep Sea Goliath is a colossal hardmode ocean boss. It can be summoned using the Depths Emblem in a beach. It can be fought anytime during hardmode, but it's suggested to get to the bossfight well prepared. Be ready to doge its punches and lethal attacks!
At its death, it will reward you with a variety of very good hardmode equipment, that can make early-mid hardmode a lot easier!


Caldera, the Fallen

Caldera.png


When the meteors fell from the sky, an ancient being awakened from the core of one of them…she was weakened by the new environment she found herself in, but ready to kill anyone that would dare challenge her...
Caldera is meant to be fought after Skeletron or Battron, and she can grant the player some very good pre-hardmode weapons as well as the access to a new set of armor that allows the player to choose a damage class between ranged and melee.
Also, after her defeat, new enemies will begin spawning near fallen meteors...


The boss sprites are obscured to not ruin your experience with some of my crappy boss sprites;)
The Malicious mod adds some new enemies to the game, to enhance the experience even more.

Spawns in the jungle after defeating the Queen Bee. It drops the Mosquito Dust, a material needed to fight 2 new bosses and make a useful armorset.

Stoneling.png

GranitewormHead.png

Granite Worm
A large stone worm that spawns in Granite Caves after Battron is defeated. It can drop Granite Teeth that are used in the crafting of the Granitic Sonar, the item used to summon the Grand Granite Worm, but they could be a challenge to beat for the unprepared player, making Granite Caves a more dangerous place.

ShoreZombie.png

Shore Zombie
A zombie covered in seaweed. It spawns in the Beach at night, and can drop a new bait for your fishing rod!

GiantPistolCrab.png

Giant Pistol Crab
A beach miniboss. Don't go near it, because one of its shockwaves can make bad injuries! If defeated it can drop its carapace, or its claw.

The Bones Horde

BonesHord.png


The Bones Horde is a Skeleton/Halloween themed invasion to be fought after skeletron. It requires a Spook Medallion to be activated, and can be fought only at night. You can get many different types of loot from this invasion, like accessories and weapons that can be very useful in pre-hardmode, and the powerful Necro Necklace.

Different types of skeletons spawns during the invasion:
- Armed Bones
- Skeleton Gunslingers
- Skeleton Casters
- Jack-o'-Skulls
- ...And the invasion miniboss at the end, Skulltron.
The Malicious Mod also adds many extra weapons to the game. Here are some of them.

Styringuer.png

AncientSword.png
Ancient Sword
Crafted with a Bone Sword and a Broken Ancient Blade, a rare drop from the Bones Horde. Great to fight big groups of enemies due to its power, the Ancient Rage, that triggers every time an enemy is killed, increasing damage and melee speed (of any melee weapon!) for a small amount of seconds, and increasing in power for a max of 3 times for every enemy killed.

TheDetonator.png
The Detonator

Looks like a very good mod! Sprites are awesome except some (I don't like your swords' sprites because there are shaded niot in style of terraria. (I suugest analizing shading of Thorium's sprites, because they are perfect example of how terraria sprite need to look). Also, your mod diesn't want to work. During reloading it gives error about example block and when I oress "continue" button, game crashes with error where ut can't find texture2d (I can post screenshots, if you need) and that's sad, because your mod looks promising.

Thanks for the feedback!:happy:
And also, thanks for telling me about the mod crash. It was actually an example block from Examplemod that I forgot to delete from the code that was causing the mod to not work. I released another version of the mod that should fix this bug (aviable on the ModLoader and manual download from this page).
Also, if the texture2d error keeps happening, a solution could be to delete the config.json file in the Documents/My Games/Terraria/ModLoader folder.
 
Tested it. I looks awesome! I especially like mosqito boss! Also, you should add Boss Checklist support. That'd be very helpful! Finally, I found another mod to put into my "I support" list!

Edit: I forgot to mention, that problem with Texture2d was fixed!

I played around with your mod and the sprites are very well-made. The flesh boss is kind of a pushover with some platforms though.(much like king slime) The mosquito mother looks pretty tough but fair. I also like the fact 2 bosses are both pre-hardmode because vanilla pre-hardmode is boring. Keep up the good work!
 
New update looks AWESOME! By the way, did you add Boss Checklist support? That would be very useful.
Yes, now the mod is compatible with Boss Checklist! You will be able to see all the mod bosses and the ways to summon them ;)
 
Great to hear that! By the way, will you add marble boss too? Or at least increase marble biome's content somehow?
I have a lot of things in mind right now for updates and planned features, so… you could expect anything from future versions of the mod ;)
 
This mod is quite strange
Some items/enemies have good sprites, when the bosses and small amount of items/enemies have complete trash sprites
But, on the bright side, the mod has quite good code, and it will get better and better if you wont abandon it.
I suggest creating a disord server, where some people can help with coding and spriting
 
I am seeing an issue with the Bloodshot Staff. When several of the bloodshot eyes are summoned, I experience significant lag while they are firing.
Hi and thank you for reporting this issue! I personally tested this thing with 20 bloodshot eyes and I didn't notice any lag, but I will check if I can do something anyways.

As a note, this was while playing on the Linux version of Terraria. Performance issues tend to show up more due to the Mono runtime having less performance compared to .Net.
