[Requests] Use this thread to make Requests and Suggestions and Ideas for Mods to be Made!

He says lets use this thread? then lets use this thread!
I want to see creepers in Terraria. >:l

If I could find someone or somewhere to teach me how to get started modding, that would be the first thing I'd make.
-Promise

I could teach you, it's hard but I can probably help.

It's not that I would require someone to teach me how to code in general, it would be nice but no one needs to go that far.
I'd just like to know how to get to the point where I can actually get a working file system to even work with.

I would like a mod which changes the grappling hooks physics so that it launches similarly to the harpoon. Never really liked the way grappling hooks shoot straight out.

I agree, I also never really liked how it quickly drags you there, and the fact that you cant change the length of the chain so that you could use it as sort of a hanging rope and swing side to side. I remember using the grappling hook in the WoD mod for quake 2 xD that was a true grappling hook!

Yeah the hanging/swinging and adjustable chain would be great too but that could get really difficult to mod in I would imagine.

True... Buuut if your gonna mod the hookshot to make it more like a hookshot, you might as well go all the way xD
Mah great grandpa said 'if you aint gonna do it right, then dun do it at all!'

I want a potion that make tree's grow Fast like bonemeal.........................or something but that's easy to make like
a Recipe:
40 gel + 30 bones + Lava bottle = TREEMEAL
OR
ANGEL STATUES MAKE ANGEL GEAR!
ANGEL HELMENT (There was a word to the angel helment i forgot)
: 10 SIVLER BARS 2 angels statues
Angel Chain-Mail
: 20 silver BARS 4 angel statues
ANGEL GREAVES:
15 silver Bars 3 ANGEL STATUES

all that for one tree?
You would have several trees grow while you get that. you could be spending that time getting other stuff.
I say make it 10 gel, 10 bones, and 30 dirt= one treemeal =one full grown tree.

Lava Bottle FTW And yes it can grow 3 acorn's at a time

How about like, make a liquid. You pour it, and it expands only so far, and every acorn it hits will grow, so long as theres room for it to. Once the liquids completely spread out, it vanishes! so you have to make it again.

Nice........... but how about if.... the bottle can get bigger by the liquid you use or better if anything fail's the trees die

what do you mean 'get bigger'?

(Rant Time!) most these mods i see are nice i guess, but are missing something.
they don't feel like Terraria, i feel if i get them i'm not playing Terraria anymore.
Because of the way Terraria is biome based, in order to make a mod feel like Terraria, you need too add something to a biome already there, or make a new biome.

also all these RPG, Class, Ect, mods out there, are i feel are a dumb idea, once again it's not Terraria.
Terraria's "Class" is your play style
Terraria's "Level" is the power of your weapons & armor
Blue & Red said this from the very beginning.

the ONLY thing i have see that i like is Cmod's "Water Pipes", because this is a mechanic. in away this doesn't add anything, it just makes things easier, like minecraft's "Timber Mod"

the point i am trying to get to is.
Adding Weapons without Monsters, says "what the point? i get to beat up the same thing, with different stick"
Adding Monster without a matching Biome, says "this thing is out place"
So Add a Biome!

So, the rules say no requests, but there is an offical tread for it?

Sorry but that seems a LITTLE GLARING

but I would like to officaly request help with moding, mostly with what I should use to do so. my mod is very simple, more changing things like monster health/speed, which if terraria is programed like any game I have looked at the code of, are single variables.

It's reading and editing the variables I don't know how to do

Edit:

The point of adding weapons with out monsters is to have new ways to beat up the monsters, or to be overpowered. some people like it, nothing wrong with it, even if I personaly don't

Monsters can be added to fit into a biome, it's harder to make THAT fit in. Not that it isn't worth it. The idea is good, the logic behind it is a little weak though

But that sad, didn't they ask for detailed requests/ you should say what kind of biomes you want

"new ways to beat up monster" - most of what i'v seen so far is weapons with added effects.
"to be overpowered" - i did that is neverwinter nights' map editor, made it too easy, never played the game after that.
"Monsters can be added to fit into a biome" - didn't say they can't, but you will only be able to go so far with that without having spawn trouble.
"didn't they ask for detailed requests" who said i was done, i have ideas for biomes already in the game, but they are about adding things to the biomes in world Gen.

here is my LONG list of ideas. (Marsgreekgod ask for it lol)

Desert & Floating Islands: Remastered
(PS: Bosses will be covered further down)

Desert:

Terrain:
a lot of sand on the surface (wow big plot-twist)
under ground there are "Tombs" (they look & act very much like dungeons)
in these "Tombs" there are chests.
there is also a throne (i will get back to that later)


Mobs:
Scorpion: spawns on screen, from 3x3's of sand,
spawns anywhere there is a lot of sand (checking it as a desert) at anytime
Cactor: a rare monster with High Attack & High movement speed.
it also runs away after some time
(yes it's a cactuar!)
Mummy: has a ton of HP, moves slow, has high attack,
only Spawns in on the surface
Pharaoh's Guard: high HP, Defense & attack,
only Spawns in Tombs
Pharaoh's Sage: Spell Cast AI,
only Spawns in Tombs
Pharaoh's Priest: Spell Cast AI, however casts healing spells on other mobs
only Spawns in Tombs

Floating Islands:
Terrain:
(may need to rise the sky limit) make more islands, a lot more,
so many that the odds of islands joining are uncommon, but not rare
keep the shrines, just keep them at the same in the spawn rate (4-5 a world)
And about half way up the islands you find a Floating fortress (it looks & acts very much like dungeons)
chests can be found in the Floating fortress
are your wondering about falling star & meteors?
why not have them start falling below the islands?

Mobs:
Wind Spirit: flying mobs that there attack does not do damage,
but knocks you a far distance (the distance is only halved by the Cobalt Shield)
why not make them drop a wand that with some mana it can to the same as there attack? (great PvP item there)
Angel Slime: a slime with wings! has x2.5 the jump distance & height
Avians: Avians are angel like monsters that only spawn in the Floating Fortress.
they come in many versions,
(Note: these monsters are references to a game called "Bayonetta")

Avian Peon: Average stats, but can swich from flying to walking AI
("Bayonetta" counter part "Affinity")

Avaian Acher: Average stats, uses a bow & can swich from flying to walking AI
("Bayonetta" counter part "Applaud")

Avian Knight: high Attack, Defense & HP, slow movement
("Bayonetta" counter part "Ardor")

Avian Beast: can comes in 2 version fire or lightning,
fire have higher attack, lightning are faster
("Bayonetta" counter parts "Fearless" & "Fairness")

Avaian Berkserer: high movement speed & they attack is a dash
once again comes in 2 versions (Fire & lightning)
("Bayonetta" counter parts "Grace" & "Glory")

Avaian Ray: a Manta-Ray like monster that fly & shoots electric balls.
("Bayonetta" counter part "Harmony")

Avaian Dancer: spellcaster AI, however they attack with beams of lights in stead
("Bayonetta" counter part "Joy")


The Next World


look at the biomes and where they are. 1 in sky, 2 on the surface, 1 at the bottom and 1 at the each end. and they are going to add 1 more, do you see much room after that?

so i have a idea. "World Types"!
once one bunch is done & full, start over. make a new bunch of biomes.
it can be a option when making your world


Q) well, why do you think this is a good idea?
A) it gives the game more room to grow. with a new world can come a new difficulty, think of a surface biome the is harder then underworld! a new world with new biomes can make this happen


Q) how do you stop players from going there before they are ready?
A) they will need to use a item on themselves that lets them enter those worlds, if a player trys without using the item (online or not) it won't let them


Q) how do you get this item? & what is it?
A) it's a orb. how to get it i will be covered further down


Lords Of the Land:

as i talked about above, you will need a orb to unlock a new world, how to get the orb is by crafting, crafting the 7 shards of the orb together, how you the shards you ask? in my idea every biome will have a boss, each boss will drop 1 of the 7 shards, and i have make up a armor set for each (only some not all) & 2 Accessories/weapons/magic items.

World Regen Fix: Mimics

this is my last idea,
this idea is to fix all the Re-Gen'ing worlds Crap.
the biggest thing that does this, is chests.
how to fix that you ask?
Mimics, a monster that when killed,
randomly drop things that you can find in that area's chests.

Just becuse it hasn't been done well yet doesn't mean it can.

I agree with you 100% but some people really DO just being overpowered. Even if we can't have fun that way, others can, so more power to them right?

True but I can think of lots of ways to add new monsters before we get to that point.

The end of the post said that more or less. I assumed you ment that was the end. I see you have a lot of ideas there now though
