Public Member Functions

virtual int ChooseCloseTexture (ref float scale, ref double parallax, ref float a, ref float b)
 Allows you to determine which texture is drawn in the closest part of the background. This also lets you modify the scale and parallax (as well as two unfortunately-unknown parameters). More...
 
virtual int ChooseFarTexture ()
 Allows you to determine which texture is drawn in the very back of the background. BackgroundTextureLoader.GetBackgroundSlot may be useful here, as well as for the other texture-choosing hooks.
 
virtual int ChooseMiddleTexture ()
 Allows you to determine which texture is drawn in the middle of the background.
 
abstract void ModifyFarFades (float[] fades, float transitionSpeed)
 Allows you to modify the transparency of all background styles that exist. In general, you should move the index equal to this style's slot closer to 1, and all other indexes closer to 0. The transitionSpeed parameter is what you should add/subtract to each element of the fades parameter. See the ExampleMod for an example.
 
virtual bool PreDrawCloseBackground (SpriteBatch spriteBatch)
 Gives you complete freedom over how the closest part of the background is drawn. Return true for ChooseCloseTexture to have an effect; return false to disable tModLoader's own code for drawing the close background.
 
sealed override void SetupContent ()
 If you make a new ModType, seal this override, and call SetStaticDefaults in it. More...
 
virtual TModType Clone (TEntity newEntity)
 Create a copy of this instanced global. Called when an entity is cloned. More...
 
virtual bool IsLoadingEnabled (Mod mod)
 Allows you to stop Mod.AddContent from actually adding this content. Useful for items that can be disabled by a config. More...
 
virtual void Load ()
 Allows you to perform one-time loading tasks. Beware that mod content has not finished loading here, things like ModContent lookup tables or ID Sets are not fully populated. More...
 
virtual TModType NewInstance (TEntity entity)
 Create a new instance of this ModType for a specific entity More...
 
virtual void SetStaticDefaults ()
 Allows you to modify the properties after initial loading has completed. More...
 
virtual void SetupContent ()
 If you make a new ModType, seal this override, and call SetStaticDefaults in it. More...
 
virtual void Unload ()
 Allows you to safely unload things you added in Load. More...
 
virtual bool IsLoadingEnabled (Mod mod)
 Whether or not this type should be loaded when it's told to. Returning false disables Mod.AddContent from actually loading this type. More...
 
abstract void Load (Mod mod)
 Called when loading the type. More...
 
abstract void Unload ()
 Called during unloading when needed. More...
 
virtual TModType Clone (TEntity newEntity)
 Create a copy of this instanced global. Called when an entity is cloned. More...
