tModLoader Prefixes for Enemies

Hiccup251 said:
This mod has two goals. The first is to add variety to enemies via Prefixes. When an enemy spawns, it has a chance to roll a prefix in one or more categories. Prefixes can be as simple as making the enemy deal more damage, or a bit more complex like causing its attacks to inflict debuffs, steal life, or throw players into the air.

The second goal is to add unique loot to be obtained from Rare enemies. Generally speaking, this loot will be weapons unlike what you would find in vanilla Terraria, such as Gunblades that can be swung like swords or fired like guns.

That token can be used for a chance at random loot for that tier, as well as Cosmic Tickets. Some tokens won't drop a piece of loot, but will drop extra tickets instead. These tickets are used to upgrade and recraft loot, and will later be craftable into consumable items and ammo.
Enemies with any suffix drop Choice Tokens. These tokens can be crafted together with tickets to create a specific item from the tickets' tier.

View attachment 102618 Gunblade: The original. A tier 2 weapon. Swing on left click, fire on right click. For every melee hit you land, your next bullet gets +25% weapon damage, up to 250%.
View attachment 102619Gunblade: Spread: A shotgun mod of the original, tier 3. For every three melee hits, it adds another bullet to its next volley, up to 3 extra bullets.
View attachment 102800Gunblade MkIII: A couple steps up from the first, this handles much the same. However, a new feature has been implemented: When you fire a shot buffed up by melee attacks, you gain a decaying defense boost based on the power of the shot. This makes it safer to get back into melee range and start building up power once again.
View attachment 102802Gunblade: Burst: A modification of the original gunblade of tier 4 power. The Burst Gunblade is more focused on using ranged attacks, then closing in for a few melee hits. This is due to the fact that, in addition to melee hits buffing shot damage, firing shots buffs up your next melee hit. The buffed up melee attack inflicts a damage-over-time effect of length and magnitude dependent on the melee buff.
Work on a charge system instead of consuming mana.
View attachment 102620 Ice Shard: A tier 1 magic ring. Upon use, shards of ice start spawning above the player that accelerate towards the cursor.

View attachment 102622 Light Spear: A tier 4 magic ring. A ring of holy spears surrounds your cursor location, then fly towards the center. They stick in enemies hit, dealing damage over time.
View attachment 102627 Lightning: A tier 4 magic ring. A simple but powerful lightning bolt spell that can arc to nearby tiles. Quicker than average recharge time.
View attachment 102803 Nebula Parasite: A tier 6 magic ring. Fires a small parasite that homes in on enemies, doing minimal damage on hit. However, it infests the enemy hit, dealing significant damage over time. If the enemy dies while under this effect, the parasite will seek out a new enemy nearby.

More detailed document with information on the loot in this mod (outdated)

The framework for this mod allows me to add new prefixes fairly easily. If you have any suggestions for new prefixes, please comment with the prefix name, effect, and any special conditions that must be satisfied for an enemy to be assigned the prefix (e.g. hardmode only). Note: I have greatly slowed down the addition of new prefixes as I work on loot content. The bar for prefix ideas is much higher now than it was at the start of development.

PLEASE comment with any bug reports, strange interactions, or serious balance issues. I rely on feedback here to catch anything that slips through the planning and bug-testing phases.

Multiplayer support has been added - please post any bugs encountered in multiplayer.

Noice. xD Also, did you fix the Eternia Crystal Event glitch?
 
Just watched the latest video by FuryForged. He's got this mod in it. Does it mean he's beta testing it and it'll be released soon-ish?
Edit: just checked in-game, the latest published version there is 2.0.0, so it really is updated and back.

Why were the magic rings and all the other weapons removed. I thought the magic rings were cool
Click to expand...
I didn't feel like they should be part of the mod. Sure some of it may have been cool, but the primary purpose of the mod is to modify items not add new ones. It may attract some but scared away more
 
hiccup, i will help you sprite if i can have a discord server invite or just friend code from you, im okay at spriting, i did a spriting job for a different mod once, and i can show you some of my sprites right here: Fiery Greataxe.png Battleaxe.png
