This tool does not violate the rules about bypassing the Steam DRM, all this tool does is use the set command to change the save directory to the local data folder and then launch terraria.exe.
Why doesn't this work for steam?
Steam requires you to launch it with it's own launcher, and that isn't portable either. The only thing it does is move the save folder to a custom location. So yes, you can install Terraria to your usb-stick, but your saves aren't cross-platform compatible.
Hello everyone!
Hereby I present to you the Terraria Portable tool. (So you can install it on a USB!)
I wrote it in the portableapps format so it's easy to install.
What you will need=
The launcher gives the following error: ERROR: App\Terraria\Terraria.exe could not be found
You didn't copy the files over correctly. Make sure they are in the app folder of your install directory.
Where is the nice icon that Terraria has?
I don't have it implemented yet but if you could give me the terraria.ico file and the png files in the sizes 16x16, 32x32 and 128x128 I will implement it.
It says its a stable release, yet I can't find it on portableapps.com
It is a stable release as far as I'm concerned.
Where are all my current worlds and character saves?
If you want to migrate over your worlds and characters you need to do the following steps.
1. Launch the portable version at least once. (Essential!)
2. Close the game.
3. Go into your My Documents folder.
4. Go to My Games
5. Copy the Terraria folder to your installation directory in the Data/My Games subfolder. So by default that is Terrariaportable/Data/My Games.
6. Done
Help! When I access My Documents everything is gone!
No it's not. You probably opened the folder while the game is running, you idiot. Just close the game and you should be fine. If the game was not open you closed it incorrectly.
EDIT:If you did this, you can find your documents again by going to C:\Documents And Settings\<YOURUSERNAME>\, in here is a folder called something like My Documents, in here you find your My Documents content. Fixed as of 1.0.1. It now only copies your Terraria folder.
Where is GameLauncher?
GameLauncher doesn't work with this software. Mods do work, just don't forget to rename it to Terraria.exe first. (This is due to the fact that when launching the game it looks for terraria.exe).
Does this work with 1.3.x.x?
As long as the game doesn't change it's save paths it should work.
Disclaimer: By using this installer you agree to sell over your soul to the almighty Darkness Wizard be held responsible for any use of the software. (That means you can't lawsuit me).
