Terraria Custom Content Loader

Terraria Custom Content Loader

1.1.1.1

Click here for the tConfig Version

I've done this program to let you load any Custom Content like Sprites/Fonts/Music/Sounds and to let you use more than one Texturepack at the same time

Features:

1. Loads png files (also with XP Transparency Issue Fix!)
2. Loads fonts (xnb Format)
3. Loads Custom Music (Wave Banks)
4. Loads Custom Sounds (from wav)
5. while ingame using F5 reloads the whole Content, nice to see the changes without restarting the Client
6. converting xnb to png, simple drag the Content Folder over the exe, you will find the pngs in "Terraria\Content\PngImages"
7. allows using of more than one TexturePackage
8. allows changing the loadorder of the Packages
9. Skip Splashscreen Option
10. Drag a zip/rar/7z file onto the exe to let the program install the Package
11. F1 Show/Hide the Package Selection Dialog whenever/wherever you want
12. F2 switches between Day/Nighttime, only for Singleplayer
13. F3 Starts Tetrarria if installed

Screenshot:

Screenshot is done with 1.0.5

Install:

Just download (e.g. to your Desktop) and run the Installer
Start the Program and right after the Splashscreen you should see the Dialog showing all
the available Packages. "Close" hide's only the Dialog, to show the Dialog again use F1

Its compatible to GameLauncher GUI

This is the structure inside the Terraria Dir:


each Package has its own Folder stored in "Custom Content" as you see on the Screenshot.
the Subfolders of an Package have the same names as the Original Content Folders
"images" is used for "png" Files
"sounds" is used for "wav" Files
"fonts" is used for "xnb"-Font Files
and "Wave Bank.xwb" placed in Main Package Dir, "Example Package\Wave Bank.xwb"

IMPORTANT!
wav files should have the following specs:

• PCM-Wave-File
• Only Mono and Stereo
• 8 or 16 Bit
• Samplerate between 8.000 Hz and 48.000 Hz

awesome! thanks for sharing! now several packs can be tried at once!
great job!

now there is no excuse, everything can and will be tried in this game, and that only means more fun and content!

Looks cool

Downloadinb4theremoval! Just kidding, hoping this doesn't get removed..

Looks like an awesome program!

Just a problem, though. Every time I try to launch it, it closes. Here's a picture to prove I'm (hopefully....according to the readme) doing it right:



Any suggestions?

This was an "Directory not found" Exception
Thanks for finding this and its fixed!

Edit:

fixed: Background not Drawing after Start
added: Skip Splashscreen Option

This is great!

Um, tried it and there's a problem: It doesn't support transparency... So it's useless for me... :'(

then must be something wrong with your png files

It keeps on saying, "Missing Png files in Content\PngImages. Press okay to start converting." I checked and I have them, I click okay then it tells me, "Images successfully converted. Restart Me?" Then when I restart it shows the same error.

weird, this MessageBox only appears if the number of Files in "Content/Images" and "Content/PngImages" are not the same, do you have other files (or filetypes) in "Content/Images"? atm should be 828 Files.

Anyways this gives me a good point to rework this Method

Yes, I have extracted the png format of the images there and placed it in the same folder, I'll take them out now and see if it works.

if not dont worry, one of the reason i've posted this program in this stage is to get such weird errors eliminated before Terraria 1.0.6 is out to release a stable/bugfree version then

Make sure you add descriptions for each "mod" option aside from the preview. Maybe you can also select the tracks the menu is playing so you can compare modded songs to their original.

BTW, no errors so far

good to know but changed a bit the PngImages Checkmethod, now only xnb in "Content/Images" and png in "Content/PngImages" where compared.

About the Music i had a similar idea, maybe later.
The Mod description thing is a good point, also planning support for zip Archives

This is looking really good! I hope you can post links to where we can get full texture pack mods (starwars and smooth background)

Updated
-Fixed some small problems/errors when Reading Settings
-Changed the Splashscreen back to Original to support custom Splashes/Logos like the one in Choco Textur Pack
-Added "Smooth Background"

Will it be able to load mods?

you mean like Terraria+?
I've played around with supporting (c#)scripts instead of compiled dlls (like Terraria+) but not integrated yet

Terraria+ died a long time ago
