upgraded to full shadow armor + meteor helmet, phaseblade, nightmare pick, night axe, and meteor shot flintcock pistol.


I've killed one EoC, two EoWs, and mined two meteors.

Even though I've smashed about six shadow orbs.

[breadbocks]

The following is still true.

Nononono. You know that Shadow Orbs summon meteors, right? That's the reason you break them.

Well, if you break a Shadow Orb, then another before a meteor falls, the second Orb's meteor doesn't come.

Get the picture?

It's a boolean for whether or not a meteor is called. Not HOW many are called but is A meteor is called.

Translation: You need to wait after you smash an orb for it's meteor to fall if you don't want to waste any orbs.

[Shadowlord]

Well, if one is triggered by breaking an orb, it'll fall within a day, at most, and you've only got a 50% chance of it happening. And it should fall somewhere around midnight, I think:

At night, if the time is > 16200.0 and WorldGen.spawnMeteor is true, it'll set it to false and call WorldGen.dropMeteor().

So if a meteor doesn't fall after one night has passed after you broke an orb, then you probably did not trigger one and it should be safe to move on to another orb. Note: meteors that path into near players, NPCs, or chests, will go "Oh, nevermind" and try to find a better location. If they fail 100 times, the meteor will be cancelled. Permanently. It will not try to land again the next day, the meteor will just not ever land. I have to wonder how much trouble it might be to place chests along the surface such that anywhere a meteor would land would be too close...

That said, you can't ever run out of meteors after you've broken a shadow orb. If WorldGen.shadowOrbSmashed is true (and netMode != 1 (1 is used for the client in multiplayer, at least - I don't know about singleplayer), there is a 1 in 50 chance every day at sunset of Worldgen.spawnMeteor being set to true, which if I got the time correct in the previous thing should then cause a meteor to fall at midnight.

Wait a second. Haaaaaaspen, you promised me and Nax and Wolf Tengu first dibs on Terravania.

I was speaking about full version of adventure map.

Darvi and me where just teeestiiin'

[eerr]

How rare are magi mirrors, btw?

It seems like the road to hell is paved with magic mirrors, to me.


There are at least five within none-too-distant chests in hellworld.

For me, on a large map.


Also, I just recently found out how much 'fun' mining obsidian is.
plus how easy it is to flood hellworld out of carelessness.
I'd kill for a regen bracer.

[Seriyu]

Yeesh, the increased spawn rates really did a number on the EoC fight. I'm usually too busy fighting off a pile of zombies to dodge EoC and get whalloped.

[Micro102]

Had a meteor fly into a chasm and connect 3 of them. Didn't even know they could do that.

Does anyone else hear faint breathing sound when outside at night?

Zombies.

[Wolf Tengu]

Hee.

I'm going to find the jungle I swear it!
 

Edit: Huh?! I saw a rabbit in my pre-update world. What gives?

[Haspen]

Old worlds get updates with enemies and NPCs and items, just not with biomes as those are generated at worldgen.

[amjh]

Zombies.

I can hear it even when there are no zombies around, and it sounds completely different from zombies. It seems to always come from right... It's just really creepy.

[Wolf Tengu]

Ah, so I can get the clothier? It's table time!

[Haspen]

Yep. To get him, simply

Kill the Skeletron

[Wolf Tengu]

I did that awhile back...

I can't wait to see terravania btw.
