Alright, TML 0.9.0.2 for Terraria 1.3.4.4 is finally here.
TML GOG Patcher v1.1.1.0
First things first. I have released a new version of TML GOG Patcher, v1.1.1.0, so everyone redownload the application from the opening post as it will be required to install the new TML GOG patch. The changes in the new version of the TML GOG Patcher application are as follows:
- The biggest change is that the patch files will now come with a .dat extension instead of .zip. This should help remove the confusion where some think that the patch should be unzipped when it shouldn't. Patch files in the application's patches directory with the .zip extension will automatically be renamed to have the .dat extension.
- The Mac version of the application will now default to looking in /Applications for Terraria related folders instead of /Documents.
- I improved the log output slightly to help diagnose problems easier, though it still needs some more work.
- There were also a few other minor fixes, such as the application title now properly says TML GOG Patcher instead of TML GOG Installer, a missing url was fixed in the about dialog, and the Download Patch dialog has been disabled on Mac since it doesn't yet work on that platform.
Once you have downloaded the new version of the application, you can download the TMLGOGPatch_0.9.0.2_Windows.dat, TMLGOGPatch_0.9.0.2_Mac.dat, or TMLGOGPatch_0.9.0.2_Linux.dat file from the opening post and install TML for GOG Terraria 1.3.4.4.
Mac and Linux Warning
My computer is on its last leg and I wasn't able to test the new application version on Mac or Linux as my comp keeps crashing when I have the virtual machine running for more than a minute or so. It was all I could do to install Terraria on it to make the Mac and Linux patch dat files. I'm getting a new comp for xmas, so this won't be a problem for much longer, but I doubt any of you wanted to wait until after xmas to get down on some TML Terraria. If Mac or Linux users run into any issues -- there shouldn't be any new issues, but you never know -- then just let me know and I'll see if I can resolve them.
New TML GOG Feature
TML has shown some love to GOG modders with this latest version and we are now able to publish our mods. You still need a Steam account, but, as far as I'm aware, you don't have to own Terraria on it.
To publish a mod, you will have to go to
http://javid.ddns.net/tModLoader/register.php, login with your Steam account, and it will generate a passphrase and show you your Steam ID. Then you will open the Terraria/ModLoader/config.json file with a text editor, enter your Steam ID as the value to SteamID64 element, and the passphrase as the value to the ModBrowserPassphrase element. You will then be able to publish, manage, and unpublish mods just like the Steam Terraria users. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I will do my best to help out.
