​

This mod aims to provide useful tools to modders. I really hope this mod can grow to become extremely useful. It is open source on Github, so please feel free to add new tools. Future tools will help modders even more as they tweak their mods.

Current Tools:

C# REPL

REPL stands for "Read–eval–print loop". The C# REPL lets you type code statements during runtime. If you are familiar with the python interpreter, it's kinda like that. The REPL supports autocompletion and auto-suggestion by pressing the tab key. You can press up to edit the last statment run. Enter to run the statement. Copy, Cut, and Paste all work as well.​

Texture Automatic Update/Editing Tool

​

This tool watches your Mod Sources folder and automatically updates textures that are changed. This tool will greatly increase the speed of iterating on texture work and will also make it easier for spriters to focus on spriting. An alternate mode for this tool is specifying a specific texture, even a texture from another mod, which you can then edit and experiment with.

​

Hitbox Visualizer

Lets you visualize hitboxes on NPC, Projectiles, and Melee Weapons. Use this to double check your hitboxes.​

​

Item Defaults Tool

Experiment with item values to find the prefect useTime or damage.​

​

NPC Spawn checker Tool

Runs spawn simulations and reports spawn rates for individual npc.​

​

Dust Tool

Lets you visualize dust in all manner of ways.​

Projectile Spawner

Lets you spawn projectiles..​

Why are these boomerangs acting like pets??

Brilliant. This will be so useful for me when I get back into modding again. Even when just playing, this will be fun to mess about with.

 

[Danew Dr]

oh this is cool! Will be very helpful for mod testing!

 

[Lukas04]

Wow this is great! i need to re-build my mod while testing much less in the future with this.
Also the tools in later Updates sound realy cool too

Awesome, dust spawner in here. As always, deserves more attention.

 

[Hiccup251]

I think I'm in love.

[gardenapple]

This is becoming more and more awesome with each update. I love it.

 

[Jonny friggin Panic]

Oh jeez, this combined with Cheat Sheet gives even a noob like me a quick way to dabble around and see what various elements can do! Thanks!

I'm having trouble figuring out the C# REPL thingy...

I'm having trouble figuring out the C# REPL thingy...

It's just like coding in any other repl. Is the problem that you don't know c# very well? or is something just not working for you.

I don't know C# at all... sadly.
[doublepost=1492139759,1492139462][/doublepost]I'm trying to edit the pickaxe power and mining speed of the Drill Containment Unit. If that's even possible?

This mod is for modders to use for experimenting with code. It sounds like you want a mod that will tweak and persist item changes, this is not the mod you want.

Oh... okay. Can you make a mod that will tweak and persist item changes?

 

[jopojelly]

No, I currently have no interest in such a mod.

Oh... Sadface...

v0.1.4 released.

With large content mods, it's pretty hard to figure out the correct spawn conditions for NPC. This release includes an npc spawn conditions tool that reports the percent of spawns to expect in the current player position.

I suggest all modders take advantage of this tool and identify NPCSpawn errors using it.
