Anyone any idea how you make grass/grass seeds? I've got something but it can't be the right approach

 

[PhYCoZ x20]

I am unable to build my mod, on attempting to build my mod I get this:

 

[DatScoot シ]

How do I add multiple items to one mod?

To elaborate, I wanted to have multiple weapons in a mod I'm making. However, I'm unsure of how to do so. Do I just add another file for the code of the item with the sprite and everything, or is something specific that I need to do?

Yeah, you can just add another code file and sprite to the same folder your first item was in and it will add the next item.

Question: How do you make a modded rarity (e.g. Thorium's Blood Orange, Calamities Donator Red, etc.)

buenas una pregunta ¿ a ustedes no les esta pasando que no les funciona el navegador de mods, esta desactivado o algo por el estilo?

 

[Speeder]

So whenever I try to launch the game now I get the message: "Please ensure Stream is logged in and running"

So... what is up with that?

 

[Oh Tassos]

Long story short: I got Terraria, GOG version. It was on 1.3.5.3, then I installed tmodloader. Now, my game is on version 1.3.5.2. I originally didn't worry about it at all, since I installed it the same way on my server app thing, thinking it would downgrade there too. Surprisingly, when I tried joining I got this error message in the terminal:

: 127.0.0.1:54517 is connecting...
127.0.0.1:54517 is connecting...
127.0.0.1:54517 was booted: You are not using the same version as this server.

Note that "You are not using the same version as this server." also appeared in-game.

I am having issues with my mod browser, I have an attached photo with the issue. My internet is fine, and It has worked before. Stopped working over 24 hours ago. What should I do?

looks like javid.ddns.net is down and thus is timing out I'm also getting the issue.

 

[bigpoolofthor1]

what mod do i do first

 

[r0t013UsernameIssue]

is anybody aware of how to detect how long a projectile/enemy has existed, and use that as a float or integer?

 

[EvanKrusher948]

projectile.timeLeft = 60;
It's an integer, if you want to put this in your setdefaults of your projectile. Setting this value to 60 will make last 1 second without any extra updates.
This number is subtracted by 1 every game update, the one is increased if your projectile has extra updates.

 

[r0t013UsernameIssue]

is anybody aware of how item magnet effects work (as in stuff like ItemMagnetPlus, Calamity, et cetera)? i know i made a post yesterday, and i even tried to extract BouncyCoins (all others i could think of were not open source) but i couldn't figure it out. help please?

 

[Camtas]

Hey, was wondering how to fix my pet, it's not displaying the entire image, only a small bit of the top. Is it cause the image is 61x71 or is it something code-wise?

 

[-Q-]

Yo what's a quick and dirty way to display messages to a user? I'm using Main.NewText(), works great but i'm worried feedback from my mod will bleed into multiplayer if it's using that. Can someone confirm if NewText() chats everyone and if so is there a similar method that is only visible to the player?

to add a new item/weapon you must right click your items folder and click add. Then you click the top of the list called class. this will make a new class with is an item. you will need to add a new sprite and for the code i normaly copy past then add adjustments .

Is there a way to make wings glow/semi transparent like the lunar wings?

[Sylvonir]

A few things here.
First of all, instead of MeteorShoty.Shoot, all you need is Shoot.
To the second red mark, you have a for loop there, but it doesn't have any code inside.
I suggest looking at ExampleMod gun and using the shotgun code.
For convenience, I copied the code here. Just replace the for loop you have there with everything inside the Shoot() below.

Spoiler: Code from ExampleMod

// What if I wanted it to shoot like a shotgun?
        // Shotgun style: Multiple Projectiles, Random spread
        /*public override bool Shoot(Player player, ref Vector2 position, ref float speedX, ref float speedY, ref int type, ref int damage, ref float knockBack)
        {
            int numberProjectiles = 4 + Main.rand.Next(2); // 4 or 5 shots
            for (int i = 0; i < numberProjectiles; i++)
            {
                Vector2 perturbedSpeed = new Vector2(speedX, speedY).RotatedByRandom(MathHelper.ToRadians(30)); // 30 degree spread.
                // If you want to randomize the speed to stagger the projectiles
                // float scale = 1f - (Main.rand.NextFloat() * .3f);
                // perturbedSpeed = perturbedSpeed * scale;
                Projectile.NewProjectile(position.X, position.Y, perturbedSpeed.X, perturbedSpeed.Y, type, damage, knockBack, player.whoAmI);
            }
            return false; // return false because we don't want tmodloader to shoot projectile
        }*/

From there you can tweak the variables however you want.
One last thing, your SetDefaults() is missing a "{" after.

And that should be everything!
