override void LoadWorldData (TagCompound tag)
 Allows you to load custom data you have saved for this system in the currently loading world.
Try to write defensive loading code that won't crash if something's missing. More...
 
override void OnWorldLoad ()
 Called whenever a world is loaded. This can be used to initialize data structures, etc.
If you need to access your data during worldgen, initialize it in PreWorldGen instead, unless you also save it on the world, then you need both. More...
 
override void SaveWorldData (TagCompound tag)
 Allows you to save custom data for this system in the current world. Useful for things like saving world specific flags.
For example, if your mod adds a boss and you want certain NPC to only spawn once it has been defeated, this is where you would store the information that that boss has been defeated in this world.

NOTE: The provided tag is always empty by default, and is provided as an argument only for the sake of convenience and optimization.
NOTE: Try to only save data that isn't default values. More...

virtual void AddRecipeGroups ()
 Override this method to add recipe groups to the game.
You must add recipe groups by calling the RecipeGroup.RegisterGroup method here.
A recipe group is a set of items that can be used interchangeably in the same recipe.
 
virtual void AddRecipes ()
 Override this method to add recipes to the game.
It is recommended that you do so through instances of Recipe, since it provides methods that simplify recipe creation.
 
virtual bool CanWorldBePlayed (PlayerFileData playerData, WorldFileData worldFileData)
 Allows you to prevent the world and player from being loaded/selected as a valid combination, similar to Journey Mode pairing.
 
virtual bool HijackGetData (ref byte messageType, ref BinaryReader reader, int playerNumber)
 Allows you to modify net message / packet information that is received before the game can act on it. More...
 
virtual bool HijackSendData (int whoAmI, int msgType, int remoteClient, int ignoreClient, NetworkText text, int number, float number2, float number3, float number4, int number5, int number6, int number7)
 Hijacks the send data method. Only use if you absolutely know what you are doing. If any hooks return true, the message is not sent.
 
virtual void LoadWorldData (TagCompound tag)
 Allows you to load custom data you have saved for this system in the currently loading world.
Try to write defensive loading code that won't crash if something's missing. More...
 
virtual void ModifyGameTipVisibility (IReadOnlyList< GameTipData > gameTips)
 Allows you to set the visibility of any added vanilla or modded GameTips. In order to add your OWN tips, add them in your localization file, with the key prefix of "Mods.ModName.GameTips". More...
 
virtual void ModifyHardmodeTasks (List< GenPass > list)
 Similar to ModifyWorldGenTasks, but occurs in-game when Hardmode starts. Can be used to modify which tasks should be done and/or add custom tasks. By default the list will only contain 4 items, the vanilla hardmode tasks called "Hardmode Good", "Hardmode Evil", "Hardmode Walls", and "Hardmode Announcment"
 
virtual void ModifyInterfaceLayers (List< GameInterfaceLayer > layers)
 Allows you to modify the elements of the in-game interface that get drawn. GameInterfaceLayer can be found in the Terraria.UI namespace. Check https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/Vanilla-Interface-layers-values for vanilla interface layer names More...
 
virtual void ModifyLightingBrightness (ref float scale)
 Allows you to modify overall brightness of lights. Can be used to create effects similiar to what night vision and darkness (de)buffs give you. Values too high or too low might result in glitches. For night vision effect use scale 1.03 More...
 
virtual void ModifyScreenPosition ()

All fields are measured in in-game minutes per real-life second (min/sec). You may want to consider Main.fastForwardTime and CreativePowerManager.Instance.GetPower<CreativePowers.FreezeTime>().Enabled here. More...
 
virtual void ModifyTransformMatrix (ref SpriteViewMatrix Transform)
 Allows you to set the transformation of the screen that is drawn. (Translations, rotations, scales, etc.)
 
virtual void ModifyWorldGenTasks (List< GenPass > tasks, ref float totalWeight)

Placing a new Generation Pass before the "Dungeon" pass will prevent the the mod's pass from cutting into the dungeon.
