BEFORE YOU ASK... [Re: Recent Oct 2023 Stable]

[Dr. Gregory House]

Hey there,

I've seen a lot of posts lately regarding the recent update, so I thought I'd come out to address some of the concerns popping up with a little FAQ.

WHY AREN'T MY MODS WORKING?

Because tModLoader updated to a new version, every mod will have to port to the next version. This is no different than the ports to 1.4, 1.4.3, 1.4.4, etc. The time to port will vary, so it is in everyone's best interest not to annoy other developers about their porting times.

WHY ISN'T CALAMITY WORKING?

Calamity, like every other mod, needs to update to the new version. This will take time and will require patience.

WHY ON THE WEEKEND?

As a reminder, we are all in different timezones. That and nobody can predict what the "most active time of tML is" considering everyone is active at different times. This wasn't a targeted update to specifically put a wrench in everyone's plans, and it shouldn't be seen that way.

WHAT CAN I DO IN THE MEANTIME?

Well there's a fix: downgrade to a previous version via the tML Github releases.
=> refer to this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1281930/discussions/0/3883849064695622221/?tscn=1696135907

Other than that? Wait! Play something else! Do chores! Practice a hobby! Something other than complain on a forum or discord channel (it helps nobody)!

For now practice patience and wait until the mods update.

See you space cowboys...

Hey there,

You are acting as if this was a deliberate action. tML mods being down for a couple hours won't kill you. Again, there are two easy solutions in the above post. If you're not willing to follow them my best suggestion is to stop complaining.

for anyone that wants the link to the previous version:

https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/releases/tag/v2023.06.25.32

download "tModLoader.zip"
extract/unzip the files (i used winrar)
launch the "start-tModLoader" file inside the extracted folder

i personally just left it in my downloads and it synced my old characters/worlds just fine :3 hope this helps

Does that include mods that don't touch the areas with breakages (i.e the BuffImmune rework)?

Hey there,

Well, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?

Either way I think the mod would still have to be built for the new version to actually work, but if it works normally then there shouldn't be an issue. Even then there's always the solutions I outlined.

I was mostly worried because I have 3 mods that don't touch those areas but all 3 workshop-downloaded versions (so non-local files) work without error

Some other working mods include summoner association, magic storage, cheatsheet, MGR:G music, gifs in chat, random boss spawns, retrorarria, etc. It seems like only mods that use BuffImmune or custom jumps need to be updated, the rest should work as is

so like this might be a dumb question but if i play a world and like defeat a boss or progress in any way and save my game then go back the most recently updated tmodloader will the progress i made on the previous patch/update apply to the most recent one?
