It is very likely the index of a player in the Main.player array, so it can range from 0 to MaxPlayers-1 (that's probably 254)

That's an odd error, I havent seen that before. What OS are you on?

You might want to read the vanilla code adaption guide

Thanks that helped alot and i found some stuff that works

i tried it and it didnt work sadly. maybe because my projectile grows in size for each fram?
thanks anyway

I'll just tell you what I have for my projectile codes and see if it works. It shouldn't matter if the animation itself grows in size as long as each frame of the animation has the same border size.
So, in SetDefaults(),
make sure that your projectile.width and projectile.height are the size of one individual frame, not including the 2 pixels in between. Make sure that the number in your Main.projFrames[projectile.type] is the number of frames that you have. Then in the code, I have

        public override bool PreDraw(SpriteBatch spriteBatch, Color lightColor)
        {
            projectile.frameCounter++;
            if (projectile.frameCounter >= 10)

            {
                projectile.frame++;
                projectile.frameCounter = 0;
                if (projectile.frame > 3)
                    projectile.frame = 0;
            }
            return true;

When I use these scripts everything works fine for me, so if this doesn't work I'm not sure.

ive now tried adding that code but under Predraw there is an error it says. 'curesedball.PreDraw(Spritebatch, Color': not all code paths return a value
im not sure what that means.
btw sorry if this is annoying.

Hey! I'm new to the forums, and Terraria modding, so excuse any dumbassery on my part, but I'm struggling to get a tile to work, with no apparent reason as to why. Here is my code, the 'UHCram' item works fine and isn't intended to place this tile, as in once it's mined you can't place it again with the 'UHCram
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace Cram.Items.Placable
{
public class UnhardenedCram : ModTile
{
public override void SetDefaults()
{
Main.tileSolid[Type] = true;
Main.tileMergeDirt[Type] = true;
Main.tileBlockLight[Type] = false;
Main.tileLighted[Type] = true;
drop = mod.ItemType("UHCram");
}
}
}

It's probably something really simple I'm missing lol

Do I need to remove tModLoader if I want to play the with the new 1.4 update? If so, how do I remove it?
I apologize if these questions have been asked before and I'm repeating them. Thank you for your responses in advance.

I'm pretty sure Steam will automatically remove it when 1.4 releases, but if you want to remove it manually, you can validate the Steam files.

Nope, no need. You can just update Terraria, then install tModLoader on Steam (look for it in the store)

Is there a way to make projectiles glow/not affected by light? I'm trying to make a weapon that shoots a beam like the Terra Blade and various other weapons.

[SomeAsianGuy49]

Hey, I'm trying to host my own tMod server on a remote linux machine. But the latest tModLoader release on Github seems to only support 1.3.5.3. Is there a way to get a 1.4 version of tModLoader that isn't on steam?

 

[Drachenkeks]

Is there an easy way to make wings that have hover capability? this was probably asked many times already, I did not find any answers however.

The ExampleMod's ExampleWings do not have anything for a hover ability it seems...
I tried using CloneDefaults to get it from the Vortex Booster and override the rest with my own stats, but that replaced the texture of my wings?

Is there a simple piece of code one could use for that, or any other tutorials? would really appreciate help
