I Thought You Were Dead!?!?I made you some images for the example flail parts. They are yours if you want to use them.

Funny, because I did the code for it... which I got help from... from @DivermanSam. So really... all the thanks should go to him.

Indeed, I just made the tutorial. (although I did fix the blue moon texture override)

The example mod has not been updated in awhile, thus some things inside are broken, I've never made a spear, but @Sin Costan has a tutorial for projectiles somewhere in his signature, in the bottom of that tutorial there is a spear tutorial
Can you explain this to me, cuz i didnt really get what to do in your post?

First, download the chain texture that is in the Op, then in your mod folder, create a new .cs file called MPlayer.cs, copy this code into that file
Save the file and it should be good!
Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;
using TAPI;
using Terraria;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
namespace Mod
{
public class MPlayer : TAPI.ModPlayer
{
public override void PreUpdate()
{
int held_item = player.inventory[player.selectedItem].type;
if (held_item == 163)
{
Main.chain3Texture = Main.goreTexture[GoreDef.gores["Mod:Chain4"]];
}
}
}
}hmm.. it still seems to use the blue chain..

your flail uses the blue chain texture? then you have a different problem entirely, if blue moon uses the blue chain texture, then that is good, that's what the code is for.
EDIT: also which version of Tapi are you using? this hasn't been updated for r16

Oh.. okay. I'm using r15

So which flail was still using the blue moon chain texture?
The one that i just made using this tutorial

That's weird, that means something probably went wrong with the first part of the tutorial, would you mind posting the .cs .json for the flail?
sure.

The pretend type line may cause the problem, try removing it, and tell me if it doesn't work.sure.

Well, thats unexpected, are you sure you have both chain textures, with the exact same names as the ones in your code? ExampleChain, also is your mods internal name actually Mod?
