thank you!!
[doublepost=1514831392,1514830971][/doublepost]
and how would you insert insanely fast speed for a gun like the minishark?

If you download Example Mod, it's the uncompiled version, with all the folders, files, images, right there to see and resue freely. For this sort of question, I'd suggest you check out Example Gun. Example Gun has a lot of VERY useful commentary and ideas to explore. Then again, the mod in general does.

Again, I'd suggest having Visual Studio (VS does a lot of neat things that help you figure out problems and understand just what can go where), but, even if you just use something like Notepad++ to look through the mod's files, you'll find a TON of stuff to learn from! And I've put a link to TModLoader Wiki in my signature... it has both useful tools and a BUNCH of current tutorials!

Hello, we have some problems with our TMod server. Sometimes items disappear when I click on them in my inventory and the game performance is really bad, mostly under 20 FPS.

Our mods (all mods are up-to-date): https://my.mixtape.moe/cygbea.png

We are playing on the newest TMod version and newest Terraria version.

Graphics Card: GTX 1060
CPU: AMD FX-8320E (8 cores)

thank you, but within the example mod folder i didnt quite see a section for accessory equipables..

thank you, but within the example mod folder i didnt quite see a section for accessory equipables..

Not all of it is within more detailed folders, some of it is in the parent folder. If you just look in the Items folder, you can see documentation for a shield and some wings, for example.

Edit: Really, just take some time to explore Example Mod overall. Spending a while digging around in it can be VERY educational!

Maybe change the mountData.yOffset?

sweet thank you now what would be the coding in order to make it shoot a rocket?

 

[Creeper da Snek]

No idea. I don’t know anything about mounts. I just knew that a negative y offset means something is lower.

any ideas?

First, remove item.name. Secondly, add [ DisplayName.SetDeafault(“Infantry Patch”); ] (minus the brackets) to the SetStaticDefaults code. It should look like this:

[...]
  {
        public override void SetStaticDefaults()
        {
            DisplayName.SetDefault(“Infantry Patch”);
            Tooltip.SetDefault("Infantry Mastery Patch");
        }
[...]

[Chammiez]

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place.

I'm trying to set up a modded server.. I tried it a few free ways... but no matter what I did my friends couldn't join when I could.. so I took the easy way out and rented a hosted server from plugpayplay.. but now I have no idea how I would get tmodloader onto the server with mods.. I tried sending a support ticket to the server hosts last night but they still haven't responded so trying here, any help would be much appreciated.

[a1b2c41]

Im making an accessory and it combines the Master Ninja Gear and the Ninja Armor. I want it to summon a pet that flies above the player(and does nothing, this is just vanity) while it is equipped. It would be like the Hoardagron pet. How would I do this
Also how do I make wall sliding/jumping possible?

Pets are complex, you'll want to find a guide. As for the climbing gear, you'll just need to add player.spikedBoots += 2; to your accessories UpdateEquip hook.
