tModLoader Official tModLoader Help Thread

[doctordynamo]

I have a problem I've tried everything to fix, and I thought to check here. None of the music for any mods seems to be working for me. It's all being replaced by a piece from vanilla. The glacier biome from Calamity just plays the default snow biome, The Reach biome just plays the overworld theme. I've tried disabling all but one mod, I've tried reinstalling Tmodloader. Nothing is working.

One more thing: For some reason, they DO work while I'm dead. That is, if I die in a modded area, it'll start playing the music it's supposed to as normal. It quits again as soon as I respawn.

A modlist would help greatly.

Note that the only enabled mod is Spirit Mod. However, this happens with any of the other mods, such as Thorium.

Try reinstalling tmodloader and replace it with the current one you have. You should then reinstall the mods.

Hm, have you tried creating a new Player and World and see if the problem persists?

 

[Plague Doctor 2]

Hello there.
I have several questions.

First of all, I am trying to make a consumable item, just like mana stars or crystal hearts (so it can only be used while in hand).
I want this item to poison all enemies on screen (add debuff to them) and disappear from my inventory. What do I start with?

Second question is which of these item tooltips should I use and what's the difference between them? (see the screenshot)

Thanks.

I'm trying to create an accessory that combines the effects of the Charm of Myths and the Celestial Shell, but whenever I try to build the mod. I get this issue, and I can't figure out what's wrong.

I think pStone stands for Philosopher's Stone. I made the changes but I'm still getting the same error when I build about 'Player' not being found.

Having some problem with dust, every time the dust spawns, it increases in size slowly, and after a few seconds it becomes unrealistically large. Here's what I mean:

Is there a way to fix this? Here's the code, which is from the Rainbow Rod projectile:

                    if (this.soundDelay == 0 && Math.Abs(this.velocity.X) + Math.Abs(this.velocity.Y) > 2f)
                    {
                        this.soundDelay = 10;
                        Main.PlaySound(SoundID.Item9, this.position);
                    }
                    int num3;
                    for (int num112 = 0; num112 < 1; num112 = num3 + 1)
                    {
                        int num113 = Dust.NewDust(new Vector2(this.position.X, this.position.Y), this.width, this.height, 66, 0f, 0f, 100, new Color(Main.DiscoR, Main.DiscoG, Main.DiscoB), 2.5f);
                        Dust dust = Main.dust[num113];
                        dust.velocity *= 0.1f;
                        dust = Main.dust[num113];
                        dust.velocity += this.velocity * 0.2f;
                        Main.dust[num113].position.X = this.position.X + (float)(this.width / 2) + 4f + (float)Main.rand.Next(-2, 3);
                        Main.dust[num113].position.Y = this.position.Y + (float)(this.height / 2) + (float)Main.rand.Next(-2, 3);

                    }
                }

And here's mine, which only has the 11th line because the entire RR code won't work:

Spoiler: Code Piece

public override void MeleeEffects(Player player, Rectangle hitbox)
        {
            if (Main.rand.Next(1) == 0) //(#) is the size(?) of the dust.
            {
                //Dust "66" (Rainbow Dust) is used.
                Dust.NewDust(new Vector2(hitbox.X, hitbox.Y), hitbox.Width, hitbox.Height, 66, 0f, 0f, 1, new Color(Main.DiscoR, Main.DiscoG, Main.DiscoB));
                //The size and concentration of the dust are pretty similar to each other, can't really tell the difference between the two.
            }
        }

Any way to fix this? My guess is that I'm using a projectile dust code on the melee hitbox code, but I'm not experienced with implementing dust on items, so I don't know.
Edit: Nevermind, fixed it. Turns out that Dust 66 was the problem, and that

new Color(Main.DiscoR, Main.DiscoG, Main.DiscoB)

was the piece to make any dust rainbow.
At least I think so, anyway.

I thing werewolf and merfolk shouldn't be capitalized. If that doesn't work, look up the terms.

I have been having trouble with tmodloader When using the newest tmodloader everything works until the loading screen reaches setting up when that happens the game will stop working and force me to close it. Do you have any idea how to fix this issue? Can anyone help me with this cause I really want to use mods

So hey, I've started work on a mod and I'm struggling to cause an effect on enemies when you hit them, like the magma stone. It is a vanilla buff that I'm trying to inflict, just not one that any terraria items use. Any help would be appreciated.
