[WIP] MonoGame Terraria - Terraria for Linux

A port of Terraria to MonoGame, allowing Linux users to play the game.

I may or may not be updating this to 1.1.2, we will see in a week or 2.


Known Issues

• There are a few rendering issues.
  • Liquids don't render out properly
  • Text is glitchy
• Performance randomly takes a hit at times.
• Window resizing does not work
• Some issues with running Terraria for some people.
• Networking is still, a little buggy.

Working

• Everything else (Including Multiplayer!)
• Audio now works. Including Music. Thanks to espes for his source to MacTerraria

Installation Instructions

1. Grab the Content folder and Terraria.exe from Steam. (Either via wine or a Windows install)
   • Check the exe hashes at the bottom
2. Extract the downloaded binaries archive somewhere.
3. Run bspatch to patch Terraria.exe with the .patch file included in the archive.
4. Run mono Terraria.exe

Notes

• Dependencies
  • Mono 2.8+ (Tested and built against 2.10.5)
  • OpenAL (must have libopenal.so.0, or link the .1 lib)
• Music does not work unless you follow the extra steps.
• Will work regardless of having a proper GPU.

Music Instructions

1. Make sure you have ffmpeg, python and perl installed.
2. Extract the music conversion archive into the Content folder.
3. Run perl xactxtract2.pl -x "Wave Bank.xwb"
4. Run convertmusic.sh
5. Run python MakeXwb.py "Wave Bank.xwb"
   • Make sure the file list outputted is in order.
6. Music should now work. (albeit with a 80MB Wave Bank with uncompressed PCM data)

Although I'm not a linux user, I'd like to say thanks.
Now all people who want to play Terraria, can.

Released. Mods, could you change the thread title tag to Released please?

You have to report it and then ask for a name change in the report.

Could you go more in depth on how to install it? I have terraria.exe but could not find a .diff file in the archive. How do I go about installing?

Great work, but I have a problem.

Its a .patch file sorry.

Could you run mono with --debug and have the Terraria.exe.mdb file with Terraria.exe?

Okay, this is cool, but it didn't work for me.

I extracted the files to the Terraria folder, and patched Terraria with 'bspatch Terraria.exe Terraria.exe Terraria-1.1.1-Mono-1.0.patch'. Then, after running the 'mono Terraria.exe' command, I got this:

Code:

root@hawkflight-G74Sx:/home/hawkflight/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/terraria# mono Terraria.exe
WARNING: The runtime version supported by this application is unavailable.
Using default runtime: v1.1.4322
The assembly mscorlib.dll was not found or could not be loaded.
It should have been installed in the '/usr/lib/mono/1.0/mscorlib.dll' directory.
root@hawkflight-G74Sx:/home/hawkflight/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/terraria#

So I went to '/usr/lib/mono/', and found no 1.0 folder, but I did find the indicated file in 'mono/2.0'. So I tried renaming '2.0' to '1.0' and ran 'mono Terraria.exe' again, and this is what I got:

Code:

Help?

You need atleast Mono 2.8 to run this.

I have the exact same error message as l0ser140.

I'd like to help but "Could you run mono with --debug and have the Terraria.exe.mdb file with Terraria.exe? " isn't really clear (mono n00b here).
I did run mono --debug=mdb-optimizations Terraria.exe but it didn't seem to generate any Terraria.exe.mdb file.

The archive should have a Terraria.exe.mdb file. Running mono --debug Terraria.exe should give me more information on where is the issue occurring.

Hi,

No the archive doesn't contain Terraria.exe.mdb (maybe that's the issue ?). Here is the content :

GamepadBridge.dll
Lidgren.Network.dll
Lidgren.Network.dll.mdb
MonoGame.Framework.Linux.dll
MonoGame.Framework.Linux.dll.mdb
OpenTK.dll
OpenTK.dll.config
Tao.Sdl.dll
Tao.Sdl.dll.config
Terraria-1.1.1-Mono-1.0.patch

I do have Mono 2.8.

Are you by any chance running on x64?

I even get another error:

Code:

~/Programme/terraria$ sudo mono Terraria.exe
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Terraria.Main' from assembly 'Terraria, Version=1.0.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Terraria.Main' from assembly 'Terraria, Version=1.0.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

I am, yes.

Could you try the latest version 1.1?

(Keep in mind you need the latest exe from today)

Hello. Something is wrong here but I am unsure what.

Code:

$ md5sum Terraria.exe
388d594d52b5cfe513ede8c4df32fbd8  Terraria.exe

$ bspatch Terraria.exe Terraria_mono.exe Terraria-1.1.1-Mono-1.1.patch

$ md5sum Terraria_mono.exe
1c15b68706bcfeca93e108b1a256950c  Terraria_mono.exe

$ mono Terraria_mono.exe
Cannot open assembly 'Terraria_mono.exe': File does not contain a valid CIL image.

$ mono --debug Terraria.exe
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Terraria.Main' from assembly 'Terraria, Version=1.0.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Terraria.Main' from assembly 'Terraria, Version=1.0.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

I'm using latest in steam yet it has the 1.0 hash. What am I doing wrong?

Are you sure you have the latest? There was an update on the 31st.

After updating I got the same error with a different version number

Code:

mono Terraria.exe

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Terraria.Main' from assembly 'Terraria, Version=1.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
