After optimistically enabling "Expert Mode" on my first 1.3 world, I decided to make this tool for easily turning it off and on again.

TNoob (download, direct) is a tool that disables Expert Mode in a world.
TExpert (download, direct) is a tool that enables Expert Mode in a world.

To disable Expert Mode in a world, drop the .wld file (Located in My Documents/My Games/Terraria/Worlds) on TNoob.exe.
To enable Expert Mode in a world, drop the .wld file (Located in My Documents/My Games/Terraria/Worlds) on TExpert.exe.
Ensure that Terraria is closed and that no server is running before using this tool.
Also, make a backup of your world, just in case something would go wrong.

Check out the source code of TNoob and TExpert at the Github Repository.
As always, suggestions are welcome!

I haven't tried this yet, but you might want to try the following:
Make it an option in settings
Have hardmode enabled/disabled
Be able to choose "Core (Soft, medium, hard)"
Turn on/off the effect of the demon heart.

  • Adding an option to the settings menu would require me to modify the Terraria client. I won't do this, at least not until there is a modding API for 1.3.
  • This tool is intended to change the Expert Mode setting of a world. I see no reason for also supporting turning on/off hardmode.
  • The effect of the demon heart cannot be changed separately without a mod. Like said, there is no modding API for 1.3 yet.
  • There are inventory editors for 1.3 that allows changing between softcore/mediumcore/hardcore.

Okay, I just thought adding more features would be nice. Anyways, I didn't know tAPI has not been updated yet, sorry.

Well, I meant those features are just out of scope for this tool. We'll see if tAPI gets updated; in that case, I or someone else might make a mod for changing general world settings in-game.
 
expert mode is saved to the world, the [inserthere]core is saved to that player. so they're totally different things

Yeah; I actually think this is done wrong in Terraria. But there is not much to do about it. Like I said, use an inventory editor.
 
Does this work with tmodloader worlds? Do I have to convert both files (.wld & .twld) or just the .wld file?
