tModLoader W.I.P Beyond The Forgotten Ages Mod

[Namesomething]

Been trying this mod for a little while by now, the only thing that really annoyed me is the dungeon wisps. That fast attack they do means they'll end up inside walls pretty much all the time given how tight the dungeon is, which means you're forced to run to the closest open room as soon as they spawn (which happens to be all the time) unless you want to bet on the split second you'll have to hit them, and then on top of that they also split into smaller versions that do the same thing. Can I suggest making their dash attacks a bit slower, making them unable to go through walls when dashing, or some other way to make them less irritating?

But other than that, I'm really liking what I see so far. Good job.

(edit) just noticed the new update, well I guess that's a way to go about solving my issue. The hearts are a bit difficult to deal with but they're somehow still less painful than the dungeon wisps, also that's some great spriting job.

0.4.1 Update Notes: - Reworked the Titan Rock, Acheron, Arterius and Ghastly Ent AIs. - Reworked Acheron and Arterius weapons, resprited Titan Rock weapons. - Essences renamed to wisps to avoid confusion with other mods - Wisps (enemies) were removed, giving place to new unique enemies for each wisp (item): . Nightly Owl . Desert Totem . Soaring Pecker and Infection Fly . Undead Heart (If you still need wisps for some strange reason, they can be spawned in with cheat sheet) - Ore spawners have been removed, ores will spawn after you kill their respective boss (on pre-existing worlds this may or may not work) - The three gems included with the mod, citrine, tourmaline and spinel are now found rarely in marble, granite and ash respectively, but can still by dropped by vanilla enemies - Cosmodium (a now unobtainable ore) has been fully removed from relevant recipes and replaced by appropriate materials - Rebalanced various items and updated their sprites - Boss Checklist progression positions have been fixed, along with the lack of a summon item for Acheron - Acheron and Arterius have recieved new soundtracks - Spiritflame has been moved to the Post-Golem Hallow, if you currently have spiritflame it will have the golem-tier damage rates, so you may want to save it for later - The Ghastly Ent now drops its loot in normal mode and has had changes regarding its loot table - An assortment of random items, ranging from a mount dropped by Acheron, an upgrade to gel as ammo and a very early game hook made with rope - Dragonfire Blades can now change mode via right clicking while in hand, although this can still be done with crafting - All enemies have banners, along with four decorative wisp ones crafted with their respective wisps

There's a new update on the browser, forgot to put the new changelog here

Hello, i would like to report a bug with the Old one army.

This mod makes the Event not progress at all, like Wave 1 - 0%.
It only progresses if i'm very close to the goblins when i kill them, otherwise it don't do anything and i can sit in the crystal for a eternity with my minions killing everything and the progress bar still wont move.

I was testing for half a hour, disabling and enabling mods and testing the event again, and disabling this mod made the event work as intended with no problems.

Just wandering is the long charge time on the beam staffs (I have encountered 2 of them) intentional? They have a huge mana drain even with end game gear and need to be charged for a long time before they fire, also they don't last that long.

[Sash]

hello. do you have a difficulty rating regarding this mod? look forward to a reply/perspective. thanks ^^

 

[Nova Dee]

If to you offers and wishes are accepted, then it would be very desirable to see prehardmode the Titan Rock version again. However the current Titan Rock version would also remain in a game and was already advanced hardmode version of the boss. If of course it is possible.
p.s. I hope translitas correctly and not rude has translated my first sentence.

 

[ThatOnePig]

I have encountered what feels like it may be a bug, but I'm not certain. After the most recent patch the Firestorm Bottle accessory now damages the player whenever you jump

Already fixed for the upcoming patch, Zoro (coder who used to do a lot but is virtually dead nowadays) has the mod browser token, so I'm waiting for him to update

We have multiple pre-hardmode bosses upcoming and we'd prefer to keep titan rock in hardmode to avoid crowding and keep his fight unique, sorry about that!

It depends on how you define difficulty, I'd try out one of the boss fights and play around with the content and see if you like it, the mod isn't very big at the moment though, so for now I'd suggest using it to accompany a bigger mod

Released a new beta, you can download it on our discord server

update lol

0.4.2.1 Update Notes:
Fixed accessories that explode into fire doing hostile damage
Tweaked some drop chances
A few resprites
Timber Kunai renamed to Leaf Plumed Knives and rebalanced a bit
Serrated Snowflakes now inflict frostburn sometimes
The trash man has more names
Given grappling hooks correct rarity
Fixed marrowbloom acting funny
Made fatfrog pet obtainable, very rarely fished in the jungle- to be moved again one more time to an upcoming boss
Bars are now placeable
Suspicious looking acorn, summons an acorn bomber mount which has short flight time and shoots explosive acorns underneath it, dropped by magnoliac
Probably other stuff I forgot

 

[benkai3]

voidbolt staff does not fire "a spread" of shadow beams, rather it only fires one, despite what the tool tip says. Also. is it possible to move the charge beam effects onto mouse2/rightclick? it would make the weapon so much more usable.

Staff of Hephaestus still fires projectiles from underground and the projectiles gets destroyed immediately if the player is standing on the ground

 

[DavrK]

First of all, great mod, but i have 1 question: how do i get spiritflame chunks?
