Oh wow. That's... the weirdest error I've ever seen.
I have no idea. Try the tmodloader discord.

ok

ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
recipe.AddIngredient(ID.3467,99);
recipe.AddTile(mod, "Workbench");
recipe.SetResult(this);
recipe.AddRecipe();

This is wrong. For Vanilla items and tiles, you would use:

recipe.AddIngredient(3467, 99);
//or
recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.LunarBar, 99);

and for the tile:

recipe.AddTile(TileID.WorkBenches);
//or
recipe.AddTile(18);

How do i make a weapon Fire like starwrath most like Blizzard Staff because im making a magic weapon

 

[Yog Sothoth]

Is there any way I can prevent tmodloader from disabling my mods for being made for a different modloader version? Whenever I launch the modloader, rarely it's fine, most of the time it disables one or more mods for being a different TML version.
Vanilla hair dye, capitalism, shaderlib, build planner, imksushidatapacks, DAlib, goregalore, instant respawn, and boss checklist have all been disabled at one point or another for being a different mod loader version. I can't seem to find a configuration for ignoring version inconsistencies, please help.

How do i make a weapon Fire like starwrath most like Blizzard Staff because im making a magic weapon

From this guide I made:

int numberProjectiles = 6; // shoots 6 projectiles
            for (int index = 0; index < numberProjectiles; ++index)
            {
                Vector2 vector2_1 = new Vector2((float)((double)player.position.X + (double)player.width * 0.5 + (double)(Main.rand.Next(201) * -player.direction) + ((double)Main.mouseX + (double)Main.screenPosition.X - (double)player.position.X)), (float)((double)player.position.Y + (double)player.height * 0.5 - 600.0));   //this defines the projectile width, direction and position
                vector2_1.X = (float)(((double)vector2_1.X + (double)player.Center.X) / 2.0) + (float)Main.rand.Next(-200, 201); //change the Main.rand.Next here to, for example, (-10, 11) to reduce the spread. Change this to 0 to remove it altogether
                vector2_1.Y -= (float)(100 * index);
                float num12 = (float)Main.mouseX + Main.screenPosition.X - vector2_1.X;
                float num13 = (float)Main.mouseY + Main.screenPosition.Y - vector2_1.Y;
                if ((double)num13 < 0.0) num13 *= -1f;
                if ((double)num13 < 20.0) num13 = 20f;
                float num14 = (float)Math.Sqrt((double)num12 * (double)num12 + (double)num13 * (double)num13);
                float num15 = item.shootSpeed / num14;
                float num16 = num12 * num15;
                float num17 = num13 * num15;
                float SpeedX = num16 + (float)Main.rand.Next(-40, 41) * 0.02f; //change the Main.rand.Next here to, for example, (-10, 11) to reduce the spread. Change this to 0 to remove it altogether
                float SpeedY = num17 + (float)Main.rand.Next(-40, 41) * 0.02f; 
                Projectile.NewProjectile(vector2_1.X, vector2_1.Y, SpeedX, SpeedY, type, damage, knockBack, Main.myPlayer, 0.0f, (float)Main.rand.Next(5));
            }
            return false;

If you need any more help, let me know.

I found the answer to my old question but unfortunately I have new one. Basically I was creating a debuff for my mod and when I tried to compile it, it gave me this error.

error:
c:\Users\acer\Documents\My Games\Terraria\ModLoader\Mod Sources\something\NPCs\NPCsINFO.cs(5,29) : error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'NPCInfo' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

code:
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace something.NPCs
{
public class NPCsINFO : NPCInfo
{
public bool customdebuff = false;
}
}


Please help and thanks in advance.

Use GlobalNPC instead of NPCInfo.
You would also need to add (inside of the class):

public override void ResetEffects(NPC npc)
        {
                       customdebuff = false;
                }

What can you put into ModItem.UpdateAccessory() to add a chance not to consume thrown items, like the set bonuses for fossil and ninja armor?

 

[Creeper da Snek]

What can you put into ModItem.UpdateAccessory() to add a chance not to consume thrown items, like the set bonuses for fossil and ninja armor?

Are you trying to make it exactly like Ninja/Fossil Armor with a 33% / 50% chance to not consume items or a different percent?

 

[TheSmallerInfinity]

Are you trying to make it exactly like Ninja/Fossil Armor with a 33% / 50% chance to not consume items or a different percent?

I would like it to be 33% like the ninja armor.

 

[Creeper da Snek]

I would like it to be 33% like the ninja armor.

I believe you would add player.thrownChance33; to UpdateAccessory (or whatever updating the player is). It might be a a bit different, but I don’t know for sure.

Tmod is giving me an unknown error when I try to download mods. I check the logs and... Nothing. Does anyone know why this is happening?

It actually turned out to be "player.thrownCost33", but it worked! Thank you!

Post the error?

I knew I couldn't have gotten it right from mobile. Either way, you're welcome.

 

[Sky High]

Post the error?

"Unknown Mod Browser Error. Try again later."

That's literally all it says.

 

[Creeper da Snek]

"Unknown Mod Browser Error. Try again later."

That's literally all it says.

Try reinstalling tModLoader? What mod are you trying to install?

 

[Sky High]

Zoaklen and ImkSushi's mods don't download.

How do you make it so that an custom enemy that you create spawns only in the forest/purity biome? because i already tried ZonePurity but that wouldnt work
help would be appreciated

You have to eliminate every possible biome that could be in place of the purity.
tileY < Main.worldSurface && !inSky && !player.ZoneCorrupt && !player.ZoneCrimson && !player.ZoneHoly && !player.ZoneJungle && !player.ZoneSnow && !player.ZoneDesert && !player.ZoneGlowshroom && !player.ZoneMeteor && !player.ZoneTowerSolar && !player.ZoneTowerVortex && !player.ZoneTowerNebula && !player.ZoneTowerStardust

I am trying to make a projectile that explodes in contact with tiles but I noticed that tutorial I followed made a projectile that would destroy every block even lihzahrd bricks.How can I make it so that it will only destroy the same type of bricks a regular bomb would?

code:
using System;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace something.Projectiles
{
public class TerraDragoonBeam2 : ModProjectile
{
public override void SetStaticDefaults()
{
DisplayName.SetDefault("Brick Smash");
Main.projFrames[projectile.type] = 1;
}
public override void SetDefaults()
{
projectile.width = 52;
projectile.height = 48;

projectile.timeLeft = 180;
projectile.friendly = false;
projectile.hostile = true;
projectile.tileCollide = true;
projectile.penetrate = 1;
projectile.melee = true;

}
public override Color? GetAlpha(Color lightColor)
{
return Color.White;
}
public override void AI() //this make that the projectile will face the corect way
{ // |
projectile.rotation = (float)Math.Atan2((double)projectile.velocity.Y, (double)projectile.velocity.X) + 1.57f;
}

public override void Kill(int timeLeft)
{

Vector2 position = projectile.Center;
Main.PlaySound(SoundID.Item14, (int)position.X, (int)position.Y);
int radius = 5; //this is the explosion radius, the highter is the value the bigger is the explosion

for (int x = -radius; x <= radius; x++)
{
for (int y = -radius; y <= radius; y++)
{
int xPosition = (int)(x + position.X / 16.0f);
int yPosition = (int)(y + position.Y / 16.0f);

if (Math.Sqrt(x * x + y * y) <= radius + 0.5) //this make so the explosion radius is a circle
{
WorldGen.KillTile(xPosition, yPosition, false, false, false); //this make the explosion destroy tiles

Dust.NewDust(position, 22, 22, DustID.Smoke, 0.0f, 0.0f, 120, new Color(), 1f); //this is the dust that will spawn after the explosion
}
}
}
}

}
}
