Tool TEdit - Terraria Map Editor

[corvidoodle]

So I have TEdit installed and working fine, and I just downloaded a plugin for it. Problem is idk where to extract the .zip file to. I have the TEdit folder in documents/my games. I haven't seen any info online about how to do this.
Also apologies if this is in the wrong category. First thread post and I'm sure to make the mistake in any forum I use at least once.

Thanks.

Hi, is there a site or discord for sharing schematics? I found some old ones but the download links weren't working anymore.

Say you have the Brush tool selected and for the material (the top most drop down) you have dirt block selected. And for "Mask Mode" you have "Edit Matching" selected, then next to "Mask", you have Stone Block selected. When you go to start painting with dirt block, it will only place dirt blocks where stone blocks are already placed, replacing them with dirt.

So the "Mask Mode" applies to the material selected underneath (except for "Edit Empty", which just edits where no blocks already are). So just read the Mask Mode, followed by the material selected underneath.

"Disable Mask" disables the function, where the bottom selected material no longer affects anything. Also, you can swap the top and bottom selected materials with the hotkey "X", very handy when frequently switching between 2 types of material.

I've previously searched for a database of schematics and wasn't able to find one. Only came across 1 collection someone posted. I ran into the same issue where some links were no longer working. FYI, i didn't spend much time really searching though.

So if there is a big area of stone with a vein of copper running through it, I can use the brush to change it to another ore without changing the stone?

Exactly. It is very helpful for terrain editing, and other cases that i'm sure you'll start to find the more you use the program. Sry for the late reply btw.

I've been playing with it, it's a great feature. And you're not on a deadline so don't worry about it...

As far as i know, a TEdit update isn't actually needed. I'm using TEdit atm with pre-1.4.1 maps and have edited them with TEdit, saved, and played in-game without any issues or warnings from TEdit.

It's just for little things like the sprites for new items, and being able to fill storage items with the new gear etc.

@BinaryConstruct A while back, after TEdit 4.0.0-beta 28 was released, I submitted a bug report on Github about textures requiring +1 zoom level to be rendered. You responded back letting me know that was intentional for performance reasons, but also mentioned that you would possibly include some sort of option that allowed ppl to have textures rendered at a lower zoom level (for ppl who have systems who can handle it).

I am still using beta-27 because of this and am requesting for the feature you considered Maybe though, you could assist me in figuring out how to do it myself? I have made my own edit (with vague assistance from another user) to the TEdit.exe using dnSpy to make TEdit work with increased item stack sizes. So I am a little familiar with the process that may be required for me to edit what I am requesting for.
