tmodloader 1.3 won't start
This is a pretty common thing as far as I've seen, but I've tried everything I could find, I've downloaded new and old versions of dotnet, I've deleted and reinstalled my entire tmod file, and ive messed around with my audio settings, nothing is working. heres my logs

I did recently get a new pc on windows 11 could that affect it?
None of these logs relate to 1.3
I think 1.3 logs are in the saves folder, not the install folder
My Games\Terraria\ModLoader\Logs
hm, the logs just end with no hint about why they are failing. Not sure what is up with that. Since 1.3 is old it might be hard to diagnose anyway.
funny-blueOP•6mo ago
So what can I do to fix it? is it because Im on windows 11?
I dunno, like I said it's old and common issues from way back then are not remembered very well anymore. I imagine it should be fine on windows 11, so I don't know what the issue is. Luckily most mods are on regular tmod so most people don't find it necessary to use 1.3

the main mod I'm trying to play is elements unleashed, or whichever mod is the one with the blushiemagic fight
would it help if I disabled all my mods on 1.4?
No, that is unrelated
funny-blueOP•6mo ago
Is there a way to disable my mods in 1.3 without opening the game?
They are in My Games\Terraria\ModLoader\Mods
There is an enabled.json file that says which mods are enabled
If you want to be absolutely sure a mod isn't messing things up, you can just rename that folder from Mods to ModsBackup
funny-blueOP•6mo ago
Alright
If it’s not the mods then what could it be?
I don't really know, your logs didn't mention anything I recognize
funny-blueOP•6mo ago
I’m hoping it is then cause that’s all I can think of other than my game is just broke
I’ll see if it works
I changed it to mods backup and it still wont even open
now what can I do 😭
would it help to uninstall and reinstall the game
is there any chance its because my icloud is low on storage
icloud? This is windows right?
if you mean onedrive...it could be possible, but I'm not positive.
funny-blueOP•6mo ago
I believe so
yea one drive
how could I fix it?
onedrive? I don't know, I don't think you should move your documents or anything. I don't think it's onedrive personally, so I don't want to suggest you do anything
funny-blueOP•6mo ago
so am I just cooked
Can you try opening a command prompt in the install folder and then running
tModLoader.exe? There might be more clues if I see that outputfunny-blueOP•6mo ago
How do I open a command prompt
Or do any of that
I’m not good with files
One way is to navigate to the install folder, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\tModLoader, then click the address bar and type
cmd and press enter, that'll open the command prompt
Then you can type tModLoader.exe there and press enter, see what happensfunny-blueOP•6mo ago
Alright I’ll try that asap
Ty
The address bar is where everything is right like the C:\program files etc
yes

Kk
nothing happened
my mod folder has 73 files and some mods are from 1.4
could that be a problem?
I already tried renaming the folder so I don't know
Nope, if you renamed the folder it has nothing to do with anything
You can try installing the https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/Basic-tModLoader-Usage-FAQ#systemdllnotfoundexception-unable-to-load-dll-vcruntime140dll-or-one-of-its-dependencies-the-specified-module-could-not-be-found-0x8007007e Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, that has helped people in the past with weird issues
funny-blueOP•6mo ago
apparently I have a newer version installed already
ok Im trying 64 now
86 didnt download
it still didn't fix it
is there anything else I could try
like would it help to restart my pc
It couldn't hurt, but I've pretty much mentioned everything I remember from back when 1.3 was around
funny-blueOP•6mo ago
Damn
it didn't fix it
should I uninstall then reinstall
one thing I noticed is pretty consistently whenever I try to run tmod on 1.3 it says I downloaded it
does that have any relevance?
also when I open tmod on 1.4.4 the command menu opens but not for 1.3
Am I just screwed
Yeah, just play normal tmod
funny-blueOP•6mo ago
How am I gonna finish the elements unleashed mod though
I don't know, it's not working on your computer for some reason, and I don't have a clue why.
funny-blueOP•6mo ago
Theres gotta be something I can do
Im gonna try clearing my one drive and maybe fumbling around with my audio because apparently that can effect it
could this have any effect? anytime I try to launch it it says downloaded
at this point I'm just hoping elemental unleashed gets a 1.4 port (probably not happening)
looking at the command prompt on 1.4 it says everything is located in my onedrive
so I think I genuinely just need more space
because microsoft is greedy and charges for more than 5 gigs
thats really my only theory left, it ran just fine on my old pc that wasn't connected to onedrive
In the FAQ there is a note about using savehere.txt to force the game to save elsewhere, I don't remember if that feature is in 1.3 or not though, but if it is you can test your theory
funny-blueOP•6mo ago
how do I use this? I'm just absolutely incompetent with files-
https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/Basic-tModLoader-Usage-FAQ#saveheretxt-save-location-workaround
There is a video, you just follow it
funny-blueOP•6mo ago
Ty
it seems to have worked
tysm
it doesn't have any of my characters though
I think I know how to migrate them though
where would my 1.3 characters be at in my files
and the worlds too
if you can please write it down like the C:\etc
I didn't mean to @ sorry-
I cannot for the life of me find them, if you want you can @ me if/when you reply, take your time though Im sure you're busy as hell
%UserProfile%\Documents\My Games\Terraria\ModLoader is where your 1.3 saves would originally be. If you are using the savehere.txt thing, you'll want to move them to the ModLoader folder within the install location.
%UserProfile%\Documents is just your documents folder, so that should be easy to find from your file browserfunny-blueOP•6mo ago
so I need to copy paste over my files to the save here spot? or what
cause my tmod is back to brand new cause of the save here
biggest question I have is anytime I make progress in a world will I have to take the world file and replace it over and over and over again?
or will save here do it for me
thank you so much for your help and patience with my dumbass
I genuinely never would've figured this out without your help
It'll keep saving in the new location
