So what do I do if I haven't backed up vanilla? is it too late to do anything or is there a way I can get it back (just in case)?

You can go back to the vanilla version by using steam to verify Terraria's cache.

Is there any sort of up-to-date guide for fully custom multiplayer synchronization? I've made a tModLoader mod which I believe should in theory fully support multiplayer... but in practice, the game never progresses beyond "Receiving Tile Data: Complete!" when using the Host & Play option with the mod enabled. The source code of the mod can be found here, as it's probably relevant for this question: ~Link~

hey guys,i have been having this crash everytime i try to create a world https://imgur.com/a/imbnJSC

it doesn't even get to the stage of having the bar on screen,it says it's reseting games tiles or something,it's the text that appears right before the bar appears and that usually goes by really fast,but it gets up to 60% and crashes.

and while i have up to 38 mods,i only have like 5 big ones,the list is with the crash image. i'm trying to create a large world with corruption on expert.

Edit : i removed the crystal mod and it seems to work,but once when i pick the base i want and the timer on the bottom ends it just closes and gives this error :

Edit 3 : so after a lot of mod being deleted i was able to resolve both problems,has to let go of calamity though,but considering the utter bs that is the ''supreme'' bosses..i think i won't miss it that much.

In mod Browser you could sort mods after download count. This also includes the update count or?
If so, could you include some new statistic about the total owner count which does not increase if someone only updates a mod?
Some mods add some additional mod options in game main game menu. How about adding some menu interface for a standardized format?. E.g. main menu only has one extra slot named e.g. "mod options" in there each mod can have his own slot with mod options.

Hello Fellow Terrarians! Quick little bug I'm seeing with TModLoader. I don't know if it's been posted yet, or if there's a fix, but the FAQ says to disable the mods to see if the problem persists. I'm only using 1 mod, and that's the Magic Storage mod by blushiemagic. Taking this mod out does nothing for me, because it's the WORLD that has the problem. The last time I was on the world, I remember building a housing unit for 8 different NPCs and a nice little outside facade. Reloading into the world today, I see that none of that progress has been made, and that the world has been completely reset aside from the map. None of the trees have been cut down, no other NPCs have spawned, and removing the mod doesn't do anything to help.

I think there might be a bug here somewhere, or maybe someone can offer me a solution?

Edit for update: Even TEdit doesn't see the changes that I know I made.

Sounds more like a problem with the world file itself. Or maybe you somehow managed to quit without saving. Has any further changes that you've made to your world been saved?

Actually, a twitch streamer ( whycantieventhinkofanamee ) let me know that they had the same problem and to just reinstall the loader. I reinstalled th mod just to make sure, and it works now. I wish it worked the first time though xD

I take that back. After a PC log-on from it shutting down and reloading everything, the world is back to square 1 again.

So changes are saved when you exit and re-enter your world, but lost when you reset your PC entirely? That's very strange, I've not heard of that before. Does the same thing happen if you create a new world?

is there a way to move my player and world to the tmodloader?

 

[Sockmonkey367]

Win 10, steam user coming through!

Ok, i got tModLoader, got two mods (Spirit and Joost FYI) and i got it and i tried to pull it up, said an error message and pulled up a github explaning how to fix it. I had to install the loader, so i double clicked on the installer, and it said choose which app to open with. I dont know what to do, so could someone please help me?

Sounds like you don't have java, just read the readme and do it manually, don't run the installer.

 

[Sockmonkey367]

im pretty sure i have Java. But i dont think i have updated it...

I have done everything the error message has told me to do but it still pops up with this message.

Sure. Terraria saves all of it's stuff in \MyDocuments\My Games\Terraria\. Your Vanilla worlds and players are saved in \Terraria\Worlds and \Terraria\Players. Just copy your world and player files to the corresponding folders in \Terraria\ModLoader\.

[Michaelsoftman]

I had 2 general questions.

1 - Is there a way for a weapon (or projectile) to have a random damage value? For example, any damage between 50-100 is possible.

2 - With a throwing weapon like a Shuriken, is there a way to throw more than 1 at a time, but using 1 ammo per throw still?

I have done everything the error message has told me to do but it still pops up with this message.

[Nuatel]

How to cap item, and especially all sort of weapon use speed to at least 1 time per frame globally? Some modded modifiers and accessories make fastest weapons to stop being used and only sound plays.
