Me and a friend are trying to install tModLoader on our computers. Mine runs fine and works right away, but for my friend it says it could not find a location to install to. So we tried to do his mainly exactly how so many guides told us to do, but now it keeps saying "Please run Terraria though the steam client" Even though that is exactly what he is doing. Can I get some help?

sure, what u do is u have to run it in the steamapps/common/terraria thing, run terraria.exe there
 
Came here to ask how to newline in the newer version but I tried on a whim and GOD BLESS YOU GUYS for allowing the \n character. I got so sick of the "1" + Environment.NewLine + "2" nonsense. 10/10.
 
How do i create a for loop that does something for each active player? For each active player in a specific party (like red, green, blue, ..) would be even better. Any help would be appreciated :happy:

Actually, it was possible to do that in earlier versions. You have been able to use \n to get three or more lines for some time now.

Something like the following can be used to loop through the player array, and I've included an if statement that checks if the player in the loop is friendly for free.
Code: 
            for (int i = 0; i < Main.player.Length; i++ )
            {
                Player loopPlayer = Main.player[i];
                if (loopPlayer.active || loopPlayer.dead)
                    continue; //skip dead or inactive players
                if (loopPlayer == player || !(loopPlayer.hostile && player.hostile) || (player.team == loopPlayer.team && (loopPlayer.team != 0 || player.team != 0))) //if both the player and myself aren't hostile, or not on an enemy team.
                {
                    //this is a friendly player, or myself
                }
            }
The player's team is stored in player.team, though I forget which number relates to which colour.

Reinstalling it was one of the first things we did- Multiple times. I don't understand it as much as the next guy but we are really trying to find a fix for this

It's possible that something in the ModLoader folder within My Documents has become corrupt somehow. Try renaming/removing the ModLoader folder and see if it works. The folder I'm referring to is \My Documents\My Games\Terraria\ModLoader.
 
I'm getting a very odd error:
OPILHz5.png

I do have a Mod class as seen in my GitHub: https://github.com/Psychoreality/MechParadise so I'm getting very confused. Can anyone help? If it helps out, I'm following the Mac mod building guide, and this error is a loading error, not a building error.
 
Help guys! I'm new to tModLoader, so i can't do even this simple thing!!
All i want to do is to make consumable item that gives you debuff "On fire", that's it!
(MY HORRIBLE CODE IN SPOILER.)

I just want to understand how this works, but my item isn't even usable in game. It does nothing.
Just explain me how this works.
And for example, how to interact with player health through item? So that item would hurt you or heal you upon usage?
How do i spawn projectiles with item? - I want to make consumable item that spawns 10 bullets around player and launches them in different dirrections?

If someone will help me and write code for this items, then i can understand how it works.

Oh and last question. Where do i find "commands"? Like "target.AddBuff(BuffID.x, x)"?
What can i put instead "AddBuff"? What else can i do with target?

Please, i hope someone will help.

Well for the most part, it looks correct. The problem is that you do "virtual" instead of "override".

You can find commands by using ilSpy on Terraria.exe. Other useful things can be found in the wiki [ https://github.com/blushiemagic/tModLoader/wiki ]
 
My player changes the stats of an item from another player but these changes doesnt seem to arrive at the other players client automatically. How can I send those changes to his client?
