tModLoader Official tModLoader Help Thread

[Talus]

hey, I'm facing this exact same issue when trying to compile ExampleMod. I was wondering if you found a solution ?
If not I'll let you know if I find something

Thank you so much!

I have a few questions/comments for tModLoader:

1) Since last year I have been using a modified version of tModLoader 0.11.7.5 that will allow it to run my legitimate GOG.com copy of Terraria 1.3.5.3 on Windows 7. This has worked fine for me without any problems at all. I need to upgrade to a newer version of tModLoader because some of the mods I use require a newer version of tModLoader in order to be compatible with the mod updates. I have tested tModLoader 0.11.8.2 and it is not working. Here are the following log outputs for the working 0.11.7.5 and the not working 0.11.8.2. Has there been some new dependency for tModLoader in the updates after 0.11.7.5 that is required? What happens when I try to start the newer version of tModLoader now is that no window opens for the game and I see it in the task manager, but it never starts the game. I have tried reinstalling the game, moving the tModLoader folder, nothing seems to work. 0.11.7.5 works fine but 0.11.8.2 won't start the game. Please assist

Spoiler: tModLoader 0.11.7.5 log (starts game fine)

2) I enjoy 1.3.5.3 and have personal preferences regarding the since changes to the game that I would like to continue using this version of the game alongside tModLoader instead of changing to 1.4 in the future. Will tModLoader continue to work with 1.3.5.3 after the 1.4 version finally arrives? I try to keep strict archives of my game versions and mods so if there is some legitimate technical reason why mods shouldn't be able to work with 1.3.5.3 after tModLoader 1.4 comes out, I suppose I will have to just stick with those versions of the mods. Unless there is some way to keep using Terraria 1.3.5.3, which would be preferable

3) Frankly speaking, putting DRM into a mod is incredibly hostile to legitimate users and for those without the technical skills to remove it, I feel quite bad for them, such as other GOG owners like me. tModLoader has NEVER worked for my legitimately owned copy of Terraria without the necessary hack to remove the unnecessary DRM. It would be something that would be very appreciated to have officially removed in future versions of tModLoader. DRM is the most anti-user piece of technology that has ever existed and only serves to hurt legitimate users. Food for thought.

Spoiler: Can't play my legitimate copy :/

Just bumping my question two pages ago.

 

[lilou724]

Thank you so much!

found a temporary fix by disabling pdb ("includePDB = false" in build.txt)

 

[Talus]

I will see if that works! thank you!
EDIT: if this works would you like to be a co-developer in my mod?

Tmod Loader keeps getting stuck at adding recipes with 0 progress every time when starting it up. Does anyone know how to fix this?

edit: fixed it but I'm trying to play with a friend but it's not starting

 

[Magi∆]

tmodloader keeps giving me this error when building or building and reloading my custom mods how do i fix. i heard that you need to reinstall the net framework but when i try it says i already have it installed and i dont know how to uninstall.

 

[spicyronin]

New to this, I get this every time I hop on my friend's server. Help would be appreciated!

 

[Bobbn]

I was wondering how I could change the set bonus of a vanilla armor set. I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to do this.
(I'm pretty new, I can make basic weapons, armor and accessories but not much else)

 

[HunterFTP]

Hello! I don't know how active it is here but I am trying to write some scripts for TCCI, or terraria content creator integration.

I want to make a command that randomly paints the tiles around me when a specific input. I have the input thing down I am just struggling with the actual script. I can't find if there is a tile variable to color anywhere, or what the variable values would be if I found it. If anyone out there knows a what to do this I am all ears, er eyes i guess. Thanks a bunch!!

 

[ward_en]

not sure if the 64bit branch has support here but every time i try and load tmod64bit i am stuck on instantiating mods

tmod32bit works fine

 

[IceMonkey134]

I'm actually dumb and can't find anywhere but is there a way to make it so that you know if you kill something?
I'm trying to make an accessory that greatly increases your damage after 50 kills that lasts for 5 seconds and adds a second every kill up to a max of 5 seconds (kudos to whoever gets the reference), I know how I'd do it I Just need to know how to read one kill.

 

[DucisImperium]
