tModLoader SAO Swords

Sword Art Online Swords
​

Introduction
This mod started as a lot of other mods, just for fun. My first intention was to add some cool swords that would help me throughout the game and also learn a bit how to get stuff done with tModLoaderAPI. However, my mod got a lot of attention in its first day (~1500 downloads and 28th daily Rank ) ( THANK YOU <3) so I decided to make it a real thing and started adding stuff from SAO.

Below are some spoilers of the current items.

Alert

I am looking for some spriters that wanna help making this mod! Right now I have some ideas of what I want to do but my skills in spriting are rather bad Add me on Discord: Kirtle#0498

im guessing the liberator is craftable in only hardmode, but it seems that you can craft it with demonite bars, instead of palladium, just a small minor thing to fix. the other recipe is using cobalt

 

You are right, liberator should only be craftable in hardmode. Thanks for the feedback! I probably wouldn't notice myself ahah

 

np will be working on a mod myself this summer, so small stuff like that is hard to find unless you get players to play it.

 

Your spriting could use some work. Start with following the conventions of normal terraria sprites to make your sprites look better within terraria.

 

Thanks for the tip. Spriting isn't really my thing and I'm already happy with those, since I managed to do a bit of shading (which is kinda my weak spot). I'm just not quite sure where can I find the terraria spriting conventions.

 

There are tutorials online that can help you greatly improve your spriting, such as these.

I just wanna say something so here it is... I LOVE THIS MOD JESUS CHRIST. I watch anime and SAO is one of them. I love the sword designs and the action scenes so i was wondering... when was an SAO mod finally gonna come? and here it is. This mod is amazing. I have a suggestion, can you add some of the other swords like the Night Sky Sword, the Blue Rose Sword and the Fragrant Olive Sword. It is for the upcoming new arc in the anime on October.

 

Thank you for using this mod . My exams are starting next week so I kinda need to study for a while but as soon as I can I'll try to sprite those 3 swords (even though I suck a lot at spriting ahah) but don't expect nothing too professional. I'm currently working on a pet (Yui) :3 so your suggestion it's on my queue now. On top of it, I'm making a complete playthrough with the currently added swords to improve their stats (either buff or nerf them) but I'll try to do everything ASAP.

 

Thanks!

 

It looks nice (they really look nice in game). I will keep an eye on this. Good work.

 

Hi there!

It seems this mod does not currently work well within a multiplayer environment.
I run tModLoader v0.10.1.4 with Terraria, and when doing a Host & Play, this mod alone causes a crash to desktop. Just thought you might want to be aware.

 

Hey, I just tested it out to see what could be the problem. I tried hosting and joining a multiplayer session (Steam) with only SAOSwords and with other mods activated and I didn't crash in any of my attempts. Can you provide me more information of when did it crash? (At joining, while doing something ingame, etc..)

 

Hmm. Odd. Maybe it conflicted with another mod or something. I'll see if I can't figure out why it didn't work for me.

 

YOU are Amazing

 

the ground gorge seems a little too powerful to be able to craft in pre-hardmode...

 

I'm finally back, I'm aware the weapons are REALLY powerful. My priority now is make them usable in "Vanilla Terraria", that means reducing their damage and making them harder to craft. When I first posted the mod I was thrilled that it was working without any errors that's why I didn't focus that much on values. I'll also be changing their value so you can sell them (right now they're worth 1 copper).
