tModLoader Official tModLoader Help Thread

Hi people, does someone know how to include a json file in a mod? If it's possible, where do we put the file?
(I saw a json file from HERO mod in the ModLoader folder)

Cause I'd like to save some variables for a mod :)

Edit : I just found a post, I'm reading.But if you have ideas to help me, I'd appreciate :)

Just started having the same fps issues in single player, opening inventory makes it go back up to 60 fps. The fps drops are worse in multiplayer, dropped down to the 20's, in singleplayer its in the low 50's. Maybe I am using too many mods(over 30). :p

It happens for me without any mods enabled. The CPU useage just ramps up over time, no matter what.

Down to 9 fps in multiplayer(by myself), around 60 fps in single player. The fps went up to 30 when I opened inventory, not the usual 60, I think 40 mods may be too much. :eek:

Hi, should the config files go in the main tmodloader folder, or the mods config folder? I have most of my configs in the main tmodloader folder, like boss health bars and loot bags. However, the reduced grinding config is in the mods config folder. When I look at my logs.txt, its spammed with:
Failed to read Reduced Grinding's config file! Recreating config...

Is this something to worry about? Thanks.
 
Whenever I try to run terraria, from the "play game" button on steam, it shows me this message:

'InitSafe' in DLL 'CSteamworks'.

If you need more information, ask me.

Config files are made by the mod, that's up to where they decide to put them.

I assume the others are no problem either.
 
My game crashed, and when I opened my game, my player's icon was invisible, said i had 0 mana, and it wouldn't let me press play. when I move the .tplr file, it lets me start, but my character doesn't have the mod armor in the icon, and when the world starts loading, it says Load Failed! No Backup Found. I've tried disabling my mods and reloading the mods. Please help.

    {
        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            item.name = "Soul Of Nalulik";
            item.width = 20;
            item.height = 20;
            item.maxStack = 99;
            item.value = 10000;
            item.rare = 5;
            ItemID.Sets.ItemNoGravity[item.type] = true;
        }
        public override DrawAnimation GetAnimation()
        {
            return new DrawAnimationVerical(15, 2);
        }
        public override Color? GetAlpha(Color lightColor)

It happened again! The first world and player had 5 hours, and I had to delete them. So I started another world with another player, and 5 hours in, it won't load! The character still works though...
