So, I downloaded the Tmodloader on Mac. What do I do now?

That depends on what you want to do.
Guide for downloading mods.
Guide for making mods.

When I run this mod I get "object reference not set to an instance of an object" if you can help me please do thanks.

tModLoader doesn't work for me whatsoever, and none of the fixes I've followed seem to fix it.

I'm trying to download Calamity, both without and with music, but whenever I click the download for either option, the empty loading bar appears for a split second, and then I get put back onto the Mod Browser. The mods won't download. The rest of tModLoader works perfectly fine, it's literally just the Mod Browser that won't work.

I'm using a MacBook os High Sierra on Version 10.13.6, using tModLoader v0.11.8.6 for Terraria v1.3.5.3

I've checked to make sure the tModLoader files are on my computer, and they are. The Mods folder is right where it should be, and is empty.
I've tried using the tModLoader Mod Browser Mirror, but the site won't open and gets stuck trying too. This is true on both Safari and Chrome.
Turning on Experimental Features doesn't change anything, let alone fix it.

I've posted a separate forum asking about just having someone provide the files for the Calamity Mod because it seems like it'll work if I do it manually, but I'd prefer to also just have the site work in the future so I won't have to come here and ask for mod files every time I want/need them.

Whenever I try to add the projectile for the spear I am making, this error shows up. I don't know what to do. Please help. I already checked all my projectiles folders and made sure they were in the correct place. Thank you in advance.

That sounds like it could be a firewall wall problem. Have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall or anti virus?

My firewall has always been off and I have no anti-virus. Strangely, I tried the mirror site again and it opens now, but still seems unable to download anything

Based off the example mod example bullet, the Projectile is supposed to have a uppercase p.

I'm guessing a bit here, but you could try verifying Terraria's & tModLoader's game files.

Hi, so tmodloader has been lagging more and more the further I progress through the game. I get fps ranging from 60 to 20. Ive tried loads of solutions and nothing has worked. Ive tried setting the affinity and deselecting cores 0 - 3, reinstalling the game, deleting the config file, uninstalling mods.

My specs:
CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz
RAM - 32GB
GPU - GeForce gtx 1080

Any suggestion would be appreciated thx

you'll either need to downgrade calamity, or briefly turn off fargo's souls dlc. Depending on what version of calamity you just updated to some items have been removed, so fargos souls dlc cant access them properly anymore

I'm trying to create some custom trees, pretty much just copying the code from ExampleMod, but it's not working. I'm trying to get trees to grow on vanilla tiles (in this case stone) and I have the acorn item working, I get a correct ghostly image of the correct sapling when it's selected, when I try to click an invalid tile nothing happens...that stuff is all working as intended. But when I click above a stone tile to place the sapling there, it shows the animation of placing the block, uses up the item, and nothing appears. This mod goes across several classes and I'm not sure which one the problem is in.

First, the item seems to work okay except that the sapling never appears:

Code:

using Terraria.ModLoader;
using Terraria.ID;

//due to constraints discovered while debugging this will probably have to be reworked into a multi-purpose acorn

namespace OreTrees.Items
{
    public class CopperAcorn : ModItem
    {
        public override void SetStaticDefaults()
        {
            Tooltip.SetDefault("An acorn made of copper.\nPlant to grow a copper tree.");
        }

        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            //item.CloneDefaults(4851);
            //Topaz Gemcorn doesn't seem to exist in the version of Terraria that tmodloader uses
            item.width = 12;
            item.height = 12;
            item.maxStack = 999;
            item.useTurn = true;
            item.autoReuse = true;
            item.useAnimation = 15;
            item.useTime = 10;
            item.useStyle = ItemUseStyleID.SwingThrow;
            item.consumable = true;
            item.createTile = ModContent.TileType<Tiles.CopperSapling>();
        }

        public override void AddRecipes()
        {
            ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
            recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.Acorn);
            recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.CopperOre);
            recipe.SetResult(this);
            recipe.AddRecipe();
        }
    }
}

Then, since it's showing the ghostly preview of the correct sapling, I thought maybe this was working and the sapling tile might be the problem:

Code:

using Terraria.ModLoader;
using Terraria.ObjectData;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.Enums;
using Terraria.DataStructures;
using Terraria;
//using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;

namespace OreTrees.Tiles
{
    public class CopperSapling : ModTile
    {
        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            Main.tileFrameImportant[Type] = true;
            Main.tileNoAttach[Type] = true;
            Main.tileLavaDeath[Type] = true;

            TileObjectData.newTile.Width = 1;
            TileObjectData.newTile.Height = 2;
            TileObjectData.newTile.Origin = new Point16(0, 1);
            TileObjectData.newTile.AnchorBottom = new AnchorData(AnchorType.SolidTile, TileObjectData.newTile.Width, 0);
            TileObjectData.newTile.UsesCustomCanPlace = true;
            TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinateHeights = new[] { 16, 18 };
            TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinateWidth = 16;
            TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinatePadding = 2;
            TileObjectData.newTile.AnchorValidTiles = new int[] { TileID.Stone, TileID.Ebonstone, TileID.Crimstone };
            //TileObjectData.newTile.AnchorValidTiles = new int[] { TileID.Grass };
            TileObjectData.newTile.StyleHorizontal = true;
            TileObjectData.newTile.DrawFlipHorizontal = true;
            TileObjectData.newTile.WaterPlacement = LiquidPlacement.NotAllowed;
            TileObjectData.newTile.LavaDeath = true;
            TileObjectData.newTile.RandomStyleRange = 3;
            TileObjectData.newTile.StyleMultiplier = 3;
            //TileObjectData.newSubTile.CopyFrom(TileObjectData.newTile);
            //TileObjectData.newSubTile.AnchorValidTiles = new int[] { TileID.Sand };
            //TileObjectData.addSubTile(1);
            TileObjectData.addTile(Type);
            sapling = true;
            adjTiles = new int[] { TileID.Saplings };
        }

        public override void RandomUpdate(int i, int j)
        {
            if (WorldGen.genRand.Next(20) == 0)
            {
                Tile tile = Framing.GetTileSafely(i, j);
                bool growSuccess = WorldGen.GrowTree(i, j);

                bool isPlayerNear = WorldGen.PlayerLOS(i, j);

                if (growSuccess && isPlayerNear)
                    WorldGen.TreeGrowFXCheck(i, j);
            }
        }

        public override void SetSpriteEffects(int i, int j, ref SpriteEffects effects)
        {
            if (i % 2 == 1)
                effects = SpriteEffects.FlipHorizontally;
        }
    }
}

Again, most of this is copied from ExampleSapling; I guessed that the SubTile stuff has to do with palm trees and I'm not messing with that, so I commented it out just in case I need it later, but it doesn't work with or without that in there. It didn't work when RandomUpdate was empty, so I filled that in seeing if that was the problem. Same issue. My main Mod class even has a GlobalTile adding the CopperTree to stone, ebonstone, and crimstone in its Load method and it all compiles fine. I've been chasing this problem for over a week and I'm at a dead end; I've tried everything I can think to try short of decompiling the vanilla code and recreating trees from scratch. Which I really don't want to do. What am I doing wrong here?

Not shown here: the Mod class, OreTrees; also CopperTree : ModTree. Let me know if you need to see these to diagnose the problem.

Oh, and the commented out line 29 in the acorn is from an experiment when I tried seeing what happens when I just let it be placed on grass, and when I did it placed a regular tree sapling. There's definitely something I'm not getting here. I'd appreciate any insight people can give even if it's that I did a stupid typo.

Edit: I've already redone the mods with herbs instead of trees and it's beautiful, but I'd still like to know what I did wrong here.
