hi everyone,
Today, I will show you how to make a biome!
but first of all you probably have question like is it hard to make or why I can use it. So I will start by answering those question.
Is it hard to make?
Actually, a biome is probably one easy thing to do, but it need lot of file.
Why I can use it
You can use it for making mob spawning in certain tile that you made or even make alt with it. The main goal of it is actually for making mob spawning on certain tile.
What I need first?
you need a world file in your mod, a modNPC, modPlayer and a modBase
Now I answer to all the question it time to attack the main tutorial
1) Setup a modBase with biome
First of all, you need to create your biome variable in your modBase so there is an exemple
after that you need to make it load when you start your, this is the 2 thing you need in your modBase
this all for your modBase
2) Setup a world file
A world file is not a modWorld but something that allow tro have modBiome and multiple modWorld
So now you need to creates a file name (your biome name).cs, in this case it will be ExempleBiome.cs
so there is the entire code you need:
this is all for this part
3) Setup the ModPlayer (more complex stuff)
So this is the most important part because it set the variable for your biome
The first thing you need to add in your Mod player is these two variable
after that you need these line of code
it already the end of this part, but now the next and final is seting your modNPC
4) Setup the modNPC (might have bug for this part)
Now it's the final part of the tutorial, the modNPC file
it actually make your mob spawning in your biome
this is everything you need for your biome but you can do more thing with your biome like adding drop (keymold or soul) and lot more, but this is for future
usefull tutorial that will help with creating your biome

you need a world file in your mod, a modNPC, modPlayer and a modBase
Now I answer to all the question it time to attack the main tutorial
1) Setup a modBase with biome
First of all, you need to create your biome variable in your modBase so there is an exemple
Code:
using Exemple.World; //You need it for making it work just replace Exemple with your namespace
public static Biome ExempleBiome // this your variable, replace ExempleBiome with the name of your biome
{
get;
private set;
}after that you need to make it load when you start your, this is the 2 thing you need in your modBase
Code:
public override void OnLoad()
{
(ExempleBiome = new ExempleBiome()).AddToGame(); //for this part, you need to create the world file, wich is in part 2
if (!Main.dedServ) //this part need know how to make dust, but I think that optional
{
ExempleDust.Load(this);
}
}this all for your modBase
2) Setup a world file
A world file is not a modWorld but something that allow tro have modBiome and multiple modWorld
So now you need to creates a file name (your biome name).cs, in this case it will be ExempleBiome.cs
so there is the entire code you need:
Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using TAPI;
using Terraria;
namespace ExempleMod.World //this is a modWorld, put it in World file (capital important)
{
public sealed class ExempleBiome : Biome
{
public const int minTile = 180; //replace 180 with the minimal tile required for creating the biome
public Meteoridon()
: base("ExempleMod:ExempleBiome", new List<int>() //this actually setup what tile is required
{
TileDef.byName["ExempleMod:ExempleGrass"],
TileDef.byName["ExempleMod:ExempleStone"],
TileDef.byName["ExempleMod:ExempleIce"],
TileDef.byName["ExempleMod:ExempleSand"]
}, Exemple.IntList, minTile)
{
}
}
}this is all for this part
3) Setup the ModPlayer (more complex stuff)
So this is the most important part because it set the variable for your biome
The first thing you need to add in your Mod player is these two variable
Code:
public static bool zoneExemple; //for creating your zone, work like Main.zoneHoly or Main.zoneEvil
public static int meteoridonTiles = 0; //this actually what make everything work in your (Your biome name).csafter that you need these line of code
Code:
apocTiles = Biome.Biomes["ExempleMod:ExempleBiome"].CountNum();
if (apocTiles > 180) //if it have more than 180 exemple tile, it will turn true your biome
{
zoneExemple = true;
Main.liquidTexture[0] = Main.goreTexture[GoreDef.gores["Exemple:Liquid_13_2"]]; //this line is purely optional, can make crash
}
else //if less than 180 exemple tile, it will turn false your biome, it work like vanilla biome
{
zoneExemple = false;
}it already the end of this part, but now the next and final is seting your modNPC
4) Setup the modNPC (might have bug for this part)
Now it's the final part of the tutorial, the modNPC file
it actually make your mob spawning in your biome
Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using TAPI;
using Terraria;
namespace ExempleMod
{
[GlobalModAttribute] //You need it for making it work
class ExempleNPC : ModNPC
{
public override List<int> EditSpawnPool(int x, int y, List<int> pool, Player player)
{
if (ExemplePlayer.zoneExemple)
{
pool.Clear();
if (!Main.dayTime) //set the mob spawn at night in your biome
{
pool.Add(NPCDef.byName["Exemple:ExempleZombie"].type);
}
else //if it the day, the Exemple slime will spawn
{
pool.Add(NPCDef.byName["Exemple:ExempleSlime"].type);
}
return pool;
}
else
{
return pool;
}this is everything you need for your biome but you can do more thing with your biome like adding drop (keymold or soul) and lot more, but this is for future
usefull tutorial that will help with creating your biome
