if you run the game via steam, or the regular terraria.exe in your GAME folder, you will be running vanilla, you can make a shortcut to this as well, for playing with unmodded friends etc. this will be how you launch modded terraria. Make a shortcut to your newly installed TerrariaMOD.exe (from within the GAME folder NOT the Tmodloader folder), and place in your resources folder (or desktop, or both). Now all you do is simply copy the contents of the tmodloader folder (not the folder itself, all the files inside) and paste them in your GAME folder!! youve just installed tmodloader! I know this seems like a lot but you are 90% done!! and these steps make everything easier in the end Now open your new TMODLOADER folder and change the name of the terraria.exe file (i use terrariaMOD.exe so ill be calling it that, but you could name it tmodloader.exe or whatever you want) Go back to your resources folder from step 1 and create a folder called ' TMODLOADER'

Warning: if you dont know how to unzip files ill just say you have no buisiness modding, but, google it. Scroll down to the DOWNLOADS section and click on the steam version (windows obviously) Here is a link to the tmodloader files on the official terraria forum:

I also keep my player and world backups in this folder(a practice every hard-core player should get used to), and since i create mods and use lots of other tools, its very useful to have everything i need in one place.Īlrighty! feel the cleansing power of organization wash over you as we get ready for the next step in our journey You now have your resources folder with two shortcuts, this will make life much easier, we will add a few more things to it soon. ***once you are modded, there will be a new folder here called 'ModLoader' inside that you will find an identiclal version of the FILE folder containing player, world, etc folders, but empty, as tmodloader runs off a different location to prevent contamination (more on that later) all in their own folders.Ĭreate a shortcut to this location, rename it something like 'shortcut-player-files' or whatever you prefer This is where all player files, world files, screenshots. I will refer to this folder as 'FILE folder' - remember that too! C:\Users\**your name**\Documents\My Games\Terraria (i name mine 'shortcut-engine') this is where tmodloader will be installedĢ.
#How to get tmodloader to work for terraria .dll#
dll files and junk.Ĭreate a shortcut to this location, and add it to your resources folder, rename the shortcut (the other folder has the same name in a different place so we dont want to get mixed up) you will see the terraria.exe and a bunch of. This folder contains the game itself, the 'engine' so to speak.
I will refer to this folder as 'GAME folder' - remember this C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Terraria There are two terraria folders that are important and youll be accessing often, so we are going to add shortcuts to them - in our resources folder.ġ. Ill refer to this as your 'resources' folder were gonna put stuff in it this way you wont run into complications - or have to figure out the things they dont mention in the tmodloader installation directions for yourselfĪlso im terrible at spelling so deal with it, and this is for PC, idk how to mac sorry.įirstly!: create a new folder on the desktop (or wherever you would like, and can access easily) name it what you like (i name mine terrariaSTUFF lol) This guide is long winded, but detailed, and in the end, simple. None of this is true! unless you are really really really bad at computers -mods could damage or corrupt your game files in any way.-modding the game means you have to do a bunch of work to play vanilla (unmodded).i wanted to make a more user friendly guide to modding terraria, for friends, foes, and strangers alike some of whom may be hesitant to trying it because they believe: Yarr! avast, ye vanilla lubbin scallywags!
