Veeky Forums - Terraria General

Probably gonna update the classes section with info from WeaponOut since I keep hearing good things about it. I just need to test it for several hours first

I wanna try weaponout, any other content mods to go along?

You can literally never go wrong with Thorium.

While i'm happy you got one of my gimmick ideas on the list, did you really have to hide the gimmick descriptives behind a link?

They're so long that they wouldn't fit in the picture. But thanks for reminding me to post the links that go with them. Also, if I included one of yours, odds are that I included several more of yours than you think

After thinking about it a bit more, I've decided to remake that part of the picture with very brief descriptions for each of them. Expect the updated pic to arrive tomorrow

...

Looking a bit closer, i did recognize two as my ideas...
OSHA Compliance and Straight and Narrow.
Glad to know they were good enough.

I'll roll while I'm ranting, but don't expect me to hold to my roll.
This is Izzabelle and her alt biomes.
forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/izzabelles-alternates.42782/
They're kinda dope, but it really annoys me that she's forbidden any modders from actually trying to build the shit.

At first, I was thinking that she wanted to get some of these officially endorsed and wouldn't settle for anything less than Re-logic developing them. But she's been in contact with Cenx and some of the other devs, so she should know it's not gonna happen.

Then I learned that she's actually an artist working in gaming, and wondered if she's holding out for a financial offer on her "work." She's had something like three more of them basically "done," for almost a year now, and hasn't posted them because A) she's busy, and B) she's got beef with some forum member and an admin.

These suggestions are interesting shit, but there's still a lot of work that's needed to make them functional before balancing even gets involved. Enemies are concepted, but they need animated sprites. Music needs to actually be ripped/remixed/developed. She's got blocks and "vibes" for some of these biomes but no actual layout or even a guide a terrain script could attempt. Parasite Evil, for example, what does a nest look like? Corruption has chasms that are eventually joined by a sort of horizontal cavern. Corruption looks kinda like someone blew into a rubber glove. But what's the layout for the nest? What shape is a starship? Are Necropolises just black pyramids, or is there some kinda cemetary there? How frequent are willows vs reeds? What do these islands look like? If a world has Glade instead of Hallow, how is that represented on the world-select screen's Yggdrasil? What does a Parasite world-gen progress bar look like?

And she's got kind of a shitty attitude about them. She's completely closed off to critique or suggestions. She doesn't have to even consider what happens if Tar and Honey collide because fuck you. So what if a flatworm is a shitty item at first, that can be fun. A potion that causes 5 damage will be useful to pros because they'll trip the invincibility frames and worst of all: THESE ARE ONLY SUGGESTIONS THEY DON'T HAVE TO ACTUALLY FUNCTION IN GAME. You'd think someone who actually works in the industry would understand that not every concept is right, and many need to be workshopped to become better.

But she's losing interest in the project, and hasn't given any TALENTED modders permission to develop them. Which means they are basically fucking useless teases. If you don't care, then, let it go, and let someone run with it.

At least then your creation will actually be worth something.

>Keeps talking about "supporting her concepts" in the thread
If nothing will ever come of them because she won't allow anyone to use her sprites to make a real mod, and lord knows she can't do it herself, then what good does including links to her thread do? Seriously, is there even one benefit for anyone, herself included? The only one I can think of is feeding off of the attention. Is that really all she's interested in?

Egg-fucking Zachery, my dude.

It's one of those situations where you are wowed by the talent or potential, but then nothing fucking comes from it at all. One Million talents x Zero is still fucking zero.

I don't know if she doesn't want to release creative control, or what man. I only discovered her shit like three weeks ago. At first I thought it was awesome, but now I'm just fuckin pissed off.

>Starbound's peak number of players today: 5.4k
Imagine how much wider that gap would be if Terraria would just make the right decision and take the time to make the game Steam workshop-compatible

Terraria 2 when

So i gurss server Soon™?
But when exactly?

Soon™

>make the game Steam workshop-compatible
Fuck that, people who upload mods to the steam workshop are all a bunch of attention whores who hate pirates. The current system with the mod browser is comfy as fuck and I hope it never goes away.
By the way no, I'm not a pirate

I've never had problems with any mod creators or their mods on the steam workshop. On the other hand, tmodloader's mod browser is laggy as fuck, some days I have to restart terraria three to six times in a row before any mods will load, there's a shill link for their patreon on literally every page of the main menu, and it's conveniently positioned so that you'll frequently misclick it at most window sizes because it partially covers the Back button on a lot of menus. Giving modders another avenue to upload mods only has benefits, not least of which are the ability for users to make their own mod collections to share with friends and communities like this one, a more user-friendly interface, and voting & public comments on mods from both players and the modders themselves to let you know exactly what the mod's like from a player's perspective, when you can expect the next update, and what kind of bugs they're working on fixing without having to go out of your way to read about all that on the forums

the fist weapons are god tier
they aren't even OP, they are just really satisfying to use, it's like melee combat was finally fixed and actually not hot garbage when you use them.

Fuck this, I'm not going to play Terraria anymore.

Always save separate copies of things after reaching milestones or before major changes. If your world was called World1, you could've saved it as World1b or something before adding the water

no backup
no pity

So what would I have to do to change the music in the more popular mods?
I'm the user who made the La Mulana and Ori and the Blind forest wavebanks, I haven't fucked around with terraria for over a year I think. I want to make the music seamless through all the mods I'm using. Would it be as simple as editing wavebanks in the mod folders?
If so I can do that. I might take me a while but I will post the results here if I can do it.

Pemp

.

Horsecock

I believe most mods don't even do wavebanks, they just put the music in as a separate download in a more accessible format.

Well as we are talking about mod music anyway
Can someone tell me how to turn down the volume of mod music?
My ears bleed after the great thunder bird fight

Fuck you, Thunder Bird music is awesome

Calm down there
I didn't say that it was bad
It's just a thousand tines louder than everything else
The aquatic depths are also a bit loud

Are there any mods with good mounts? Playing RPG Classes as Cavalry and the Fuzzy Carrot is starting to hold me back with its inability to fly or use boots. And the Honeyed Goggles are too slow to get any use out of for bosses.

i quite like thorium mounts, though few fly to my preference, as i think of flying as a hardmode privilege
the crab claw is pretty easy to get and the crab runs as fast as lightning boots while walking on water/lava, and the hardmode ones are pretty good

...

What's the point of creating a million farming worlds when you can just replace the Builder's Workshop with a copy of itself when it gets depleted?

...

What's the best exp mod? I just want to lvl up

Major changes:
>Replaced the Tosser class with the Fister class
>Merged the Tosser class into the Warrior class since both are significantly underpowered in boss fights at several points in the game, but together they make a viable class from early game to endgame
>Added whips to the Specialist class
>Added brief descriptions to each gimmick

thanks doc

Much clearer. Noice job, mate.

No problem, and thanks for the feedback on how to improve it

I want to work on a DOOM mod. Mostly the praetor armor of DOOM2016, make it like, give it to the player when they spawn for the first time. Or maybe make it out of iron/lead bars and chains.

The thing is, I would give the vanilla bosses some other drops to upgrade the armor etc. It's just a rough draft.

>You must not exploit glitches and hacks
What about hoiks?

I'll leave that to each player's discretion

the developer know about it and decided not to remove it
so it's a legit game mechanic

Ty for the clarification, I thought I heard that once a long time ago but I wasn't sure

...

so is the "w" in sword silent or not?
until now
also it's melee like in maylay not in me-lee right?

The last thing stopping me from paying to host the server and doing private multiplayer bug testing is a major glitch in the latest version of Rewards

Yes, it's silent
Yes

either i'm retarded or something cut of the second sentence because it's meant to say until now i heard both variants

thanks

How do I defeat the Borean Strider? Ive been trying over and over again but I cant beat it because its like the enemy spawn rates are increased while fighting it.

That boss is really fuckign strong , either let summons eat it as you run away or try to lure him to where normal enemies wont reach you ( peak of a mountain )

...

Make a horizontal platform right above where you plan to fight it, then pray no ice golems spawn while you fight it.
(They will)

Is it cheaty to start a new, fresh world just for easier item/material collection?

Depends. Context?

Getting life quartz and general fishing, along with getting a shitload of boreal wood in order to prepare for hardmode

...

All I can think of is peace candles and prayers.

HOLY SHIT YES FINALLY.

Hmm , for the wood you can just plant seeds on snow , the snow can be floating next to your home just use ropes to reach the altitude

I really like making artificial lakes with around 40 buckets and some bombs , its fun and worth it imo

why exactly do you want the life quartz ?

what exactly does the spider part mean in game ?

Not sure, but Im going to go exploring to find out the answer. My guess is spiders get tougher and drop new items.

A new spider spawns in spider nests. You need to kill that spider for the Tracker's quests.

Oh, is this that new spider? I dont remember seeing it in nests before killing the Boreal Strider.

I also dont remember seeing this, are they both for quests or just one?

Forgot the image.

I don't remember that one either, I guess it's from a recent update.

The boreal strider looks pretty easy to be quite desu youtube.com/watch?v=sqx7cqj30a8&t=28m15s

I've decided I'm gonna mod Terraria for the first time. What are some must have mods for a first timer? Thorium?
I actually have to find how to even start modding terraria before I get any, that's how little I know

Well for me the Strider wasnt giving me very many troubles, it was the flock of Snowy Owls and other enemies that kept killing me.

>Install tmodloader manually

As far as must have mods go, I recommend installing at least half the QoL mods in the mod list, if not all of em
