tModLoader Tutorial: [3] Items

So, slight error, this is the logs:

Code:
c:\Users\TheGeckoGamer\Documents\My Games\Terraria\ModLoader\Mod Sources\VarietyMod\VarietyMod\Items\SplitterAxe.cs(35,39) : error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Player' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

c:\Users\TheGeckoGamer\Documents\My Games\Terraria\ModLoader\Mod Sources\VarietyMod\VarietyMod\Items\SplitterAxe.cs(35,54) : error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'NPC' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

and this is my code:

Code:
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace VarietyMod.Items
{
    public class SplitterAxe : ModItem
    {
        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            item.name = "Armor Splitter";
            item.damage = 50;
            item.melee = true;
            item.width = 40;
            item.height = 40;
            item.toolTip = "An axe that can break even the toughest of armor.";
            item.useTime = 20;
            item.useAnimation = 20;
            item.useStyle = 1;
            item.knockBack = 6;
            item.value = 100000;
            item.rare = 2;
            item.useSound = 1;
            item.autoReuse = true;
        }

        public override void AddRecipes()
        {
            ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
            recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.DirtBlock, 10);
            recipe.AddTile(TileID.WorkBenches);
            recipe.SetResult(this);
            recipe.AddRecipe();
        }

        public override void OnHitNPC(Player player, NPC target, int damage, float knockback, bool crit)
        {

            target.AddBuff(BuffID.BrokenArmor, 30);

        }
    }
}

I don't know what this issue is, I'm just trying to make the axe give the broken armor debuff.
Player and NPC are classes in Terraria, so you need using Terraria; at the top.
 
I have a couple questions:

So the mod skeleton has the use animation set to this:
If I wanted to make a spear, would I change the animation, and if so, what should I change it to?

Also, would 3 cover spears, or just shortswords?

EDIT #5,608: I can't read.

Also, I keep getting this error:
Code:
Missing mod: GoofsnSpoofs/Items/Scalpel
   at Terraria.ModLoader.ModLoader.GetTexture(String name)
   at Terraria.ModLoader.Mod.SetupContent()
   at Terraria.ModLoader.ModLoader.do_Load(Object threadContext)
This is my code:
Code:
using Terraria.ID;

using Terraria.ModLoader;


namespace GoofsnSpoofs.Items
{

   public class Scalpel : ModItem
   {

     public override void SetDefaults()
     {

       item.name = "Scalpel";

       item.damage = 7;

       item.melee = true;

       item.width = 60;

       item.height = 60;

       item.toolTip = "";

       item.useTime = 20;

       item.useAnimation = 20;

       item.useStyle = 3;

       item.knockBack = 4;

       item.value = 160;

       item.rare = 0;

       item.UseSound = SoundID.Item19;

       item.autoReuse = false;
       }


     public override void AddRecipes()

     {
       ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);

       recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.IronBar, 5);

       recipe.AddTile(TileID.WorkBenches);

       recipe.SetResult(this);
  
     recipe.AddRecipe();

     }

   }

}
Am I using the wrong file type for my image, or did I mess something up in the coding?

Thanks, the filename I unzipped to was capitalized in a spot where the original .zip wasn't. Whoops.

Edit: New issue,

Could you post the error and the code it's pointing to? Otherwise we have nothing to work with.
this is just someof the coding that is from the tutorial so i have the basics saved into my pc. but i think there is a code im missing or something because when i open modloader and go to mod sources and just to build + reload mod it just simply gives me this error...

You forgot to close the for loop on the part where you remove the recipes.
 
where i dont know coding very well thats al ive started and dont really understand where to close the loop
[doublepost=1486835102,1486834609][/doublepost]yeah i cant find out where to close the loop for all i know it looks fine to me but im new to modding and trying to atleast finish my foundation of the mod so i can start adding items and stuff but i cant finish the foundation of the mod in the first place

Code:
for (int i = 0; i < s.requiredItem.Length; i++
That's the line I'm talking about. You'll need to put a ) at the end of that line.
 
it says now the same error
Double check all your syntax. By this I mean your line endings (semicolons and the sorts) and check ALL your opening and closing brackets. For every opening bracket there should be a closing at the correct position.

Could you post your current error and code once again? I'll be home later today, so I can rework your code to show you the do's and don'ts.
 
this is my current code i reset it because nothing was working and yet this one still doesnt work this is the only part im having troubles with. te items and stuff i can code but this foundation for that wont work in general yet i cant seem to find any duplicate of anything even removed everything from the mod sources that might have same codes
Code:
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace LenZoReforged
{

Look in your Steam Terraria folder. If you see a file called `Newtonsoft.json` remove it.
