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 :(

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.

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)

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!!

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.

Hi,

I'm on this thread to ask a question, how do you detect if an NPC is touching a block/on the ground? I'm currently making an enemy that only jumps if it is not in the air.
C#: 
                    npc.velocity.Y = 20f;
                    npc.velocity.X = 0f;
                    if (Math.Abs(npc.position.Y - player.position.Y) < 5) {
                        AI_RestTimer = 0;
                        AI_State = State_Charging;
                    }
This code I'm using currently detects if the Y position of the NPC is near the Y position of the player. While the current method is efficient in stopping the enemy from continuously jumping in the air, it creates a whole new problem where if the player is a few blocks below or on top of the enemy, the NPC will freeze and never go into the "Charging" state. If you are willing to help, thank you.

Hello, I have a problem. I want to change the location from My Games folder to somewhere else but i don't know how. I've tried using savedirectory command but it told me that it was invalid. Is there any other solution? Just dragging from one folder to the other wouldn't work, right? The system is Win x64 and I'm using tmodloader from steam.


EDIT:
I guess I somehow got a solution. Used symbolic links
www.howtogeek.com

The Complete Guide to Creating Symbolic Links (aka Symlinks) on Windows

Windows 10, 8, 7, and Vista all support symbolic links—also known as symlinks—that point to a file or folder on your system. You can create them using the Command Prompt or a third-party tool called Link Shell Extension.
www.howtogeek.com www.howtogeek.com
EDIT2:
Nope, still doesn't work
EDIT3:
Alright, the problem was that the Tmodloader on Steam is 32bit. Downloading the 64bit version solved the issue.

I'm no expert, but I did something similar on a projectile with the Collision class. Give Collision.SolidCollision(vector2, int, int) your NPC's position, width and height and it will return a bool based on weather or not it's hitting something.

Hope that works.

From what I saw, this is apparently a function/method, or a hook, right? If it is not a difficult task, how could I get a variable from one method and use it in another? And thanks for trying to help, I appreciate that.

Does anyone know how to detect if an NPC is in water? I thought it was
C#: 
if (npc.wet) {
    //insert code here
}
but that doesn't seem to work.


EDIT: I found the issue! My old code was
C#: 
if (npc.wet) {
    npc.velocity.Y -= 0.15; //gravity is -0.1, so this should counteract gravity
}

But it turns out that it works if I do
C#: 
if (npc.wet) {
    npc.velocity.Y = 0;
    npc.position.Y -= 5;
}
I'm not quite sure why this happens, but it does.

I'm having this problem where the projectile spawns like this, when in reality I want it to appear a little bit in front of the character for example like the Lazer from the Prism in which the lazer spawns in the prism itself?
position.PNG


I basically want it to look like this:

fxbH2vqmJ8SGcZ8pFSzKWrZXsN6Ig5jffjqjo0vAZ1Y.png


This is the code of the projectile:
C#: 
using System;
using Terraria;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace MySword.Projectiles
{
    public class ExProcyonBlast : ModProjectile
    {
        public override void SetStaticDefaults()
        {
            DisplayName.SetDefault("Ex Procyon Blast");
        }

        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            projectile.width = 500;
            projectile.height = 500;
            projectile.scale = 1f;
            projectile.timeLeft = 30;
            projectile.penetrate = 10;
            projectile.friendly = true;
            projectile.magic = true;
            projectile.tileCollide = false;
            projectile.alpha = 55;
            projectile.light = 1f;
            projectile.aiStyle = 4;
        }

        public override void OnHitNPC(NPC target, int damage, float knockback, bool crit)
        {
            target.AddBuff(mod.BuffType("OnFire!"), 180, false);
        }
    }
}

I also have another question... can i make it so a melee weapon like a sword shoot a projectile that requires mana only when mana is availible?
Ima rephrase it just in case. Can i make a "sword" shoot projectiles when the mana needed is availible but when mana is not availible still be able to be swong/used.

This is the code of the "sword"
C#: 
using Terraria;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
namespace MySword.Items
{
    public class TrueLizaverde : ModItem
    {
        public override void SetStaticDefaults()
        {
            DisplayName.SetDefault("True Lizaverde");
            Tooltip.SetDefault("3000% Water DMG (Magic). Increases own CRI DMG by 30% for 8s. Water units get an extra 30%");
        }

        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            item.melee = true;
            item.damage = 250;
            item.useStyle = 1;
            item.useTime = 10;
            item.useAnimation = 10;
            item.knockBack = 5;
            item.value = 30000;
            item.rare = -12;
            item.UseSound = SoundID.Item1;
            item.autoReuse = true;
            item.width = 175;
            item.height = 175;
            item.scale = 0.35f;
            item.mana = 10;
            item.crit = 97;

            item.shoot = mod.ProjectileType("FrostWaveLizaverde");
            item.shootSpeed = 30f;
        }

        public override void HoldItem(Player player)
        {
            player.itemLocation.Y = player.Center.Y;
            player.itemLocation.X = player.Center.X - 18 * player.direction;
        }

        public override void AddRecipes()
        {
            ModRecipe TrueLizaverderecipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
            TrueLizaverderecipe.AddIngredient(173, 10);
