Has anyone worked out if the "steam integration" for dedicated servers actually does anything? I've turned it on but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Geektox posted:I would imagine it feeds Steam server information can use the functions like Join Game and View Players from Steam itself It doesn't though. At least not as far as I can tell - Since you can't run dedicated server through steam itself you don't end up in a situation where other players can click on you and "join game". And afaik steam has no "server discovery" mechanism so the entire thing seems pointless. Trying to get out of setting up dynamic DNS just so my friends can join the server.

Main Paineframe posted:So what is the deal with the multiplayer Steam integration now? I have yet to find an informed description of what, exactly, has changed. Does it mean that dedicated servers are no longer necessary? Dedicated servers are still necessary if you want a dedicated server. Dedicated server doesn't appear to be compatible with steam integration.

You used to only need about 80% of the wall tiles placed to make it a valid room... i hope they didn't change that. "Background walls may contain holes if the holes are no taller or wider than four tiles. (e.g. 4 background tiles across or tall, so the maximum size is 4x4, 16 in total. The hole cannot exceed 4x4 or 16 tiles.). Walls may have multiple holes as long as they are separated by at least a single tile of background walls."

 This is a picture of just the main base of our multiplayer world. We have gotten pretty carried away. That thing at the bottom is the teleporter network. You'll probably need to open the image in a new tab to see its horrible glory.

The Wonder Weapon posted:In case anyone else is having this problem: I couldn't find truffle worms at all on our tshock server. After loading up a different world in single player I found 15 in 30 minutes. We also have people that are hundreds and hundreds of bats in without a trifold map, and I bet that's related to tshock as well. Tshock is buggy as gently caress at the moment.

Akett posted:That raises a lot of interesting questions. I'm sure it doesn't need to be dirt because I've fought them on snow and mud, so material is not a factor. Does it have to be impeding your movement in some way? Because if not you can just fill the sky with bubble blocks you can move easily through while not getting poo poo from the crawtipedes. Will it work similarly for actuated blocks? 1.3.0.7: crawltipedes will now attack any player that presses the "jump" key 1.3.0.8: crawltipedes will now attack any player that presses the "mount" key

Judgement posted:I actually went out of my way to seed various parts of my world with corruption because I wanted a dumb super corrupt gimmick world, and I still barely had any noticable growth beyond what was already there. Unless you're running on a persistent world server or otherwise leave your game going for really long periods of time, you pretty much never have to actually worry about that poo poo. The default server hibernates if there aren't any players on it. I'm not sure if tshock has an override for this.

Prop Wash posted:Isn't that a problem with pretty much any terraria server though? I don't think the game would be much fun if you started playing along with people that are, like, two or three tiers above or below you. Tshock does pretty much that.

Section Z posted:That... probably doesn't work. That is lame. Can they still stone you during the golem fight through the walls? Just move the altar using the actuator trick mentioned above: actuate the three blocks underneath it, deactivate them and put thr golem altar amongst your spike ball traps.

Keep everything. There is a rumour that 1.3.1 adds weapons forged from 20 stacks of dirt.

On our multiplayer server we just have a massive filing system. It does mean someone needs to go through chests every now and then to sell 40 unicorn mounts.

kazil posted:Counterpoint: Expert mode is for punching yourself in the dick repeatedly and if you are starting out the game and don't know if you will enjoy it why bother? Count counter point: expert is harder for a little bit near the start and then kind of the same later on as far as i could tell.

If you have no skill you can solo him with a box, stand in honey, heart lantern, beetle shell armor, 150hp heal pots, band of myths, ice tortoise shell, ankh shield, paladin shield, ufo, endurance pot and inronskin pot and regeneration pot. Stand in box and hit him casually because he can't outdamage you and the box blocks lasers. Make sure you kill his 3 locations as simultaneously as possible because the eyes will rip through you box and all. As soon as you have exposed the core go flying and keep a lot of distance from him and just poke him to death. oh, solar eruption of course and make sure your poo poo is warding or armored. Need to get a bit lucky/skilled with the lasers in the second mode too. He's not that hard when you use the box tactic tbh. Expert mode ofc. Or just git gud: https://youtu.be/xarud63JW5Y

So now that our multiplayer server is dying down I thought I'd upload a bunch of the highlights. When we first got into the game we immediately started building a monstrosity near the spawn. People kept tacking towers onto it.  At some point one of our players got frustrated and buit a megabase and a massive hellavator, and we all kind of started expanding below it. Underneath the base you can see the teleporter network - every room is themed to the area it teleports to. Also there's my ugly meteor apartment, and a giant art gallery. The fishing NPC also gets his own hut.  Two of us built a gaudy cloud mansion adjacent the base.  A UFO hidden on the edge of the map.  Mushroom biome and NPC panic room.  Hospital/spawn area  My friend built a scavenger hunt into the game using signs and other clues - one of the stopoff points was the "lifeboat"  Another was this cute little rocket  Super attractive bubblegum hallowed building.  Boss/moon arena

Network Pesci posted:I'm having a problem where my roommate can't connect to my Terraria server on his laptop, but my buddy who lives a few blocks away can connect just fine. My roommate and I are running the GOG.com version, and the other guy is running the Steam version. I don't know. Probably a dumb question, but your roommate is using the local IP right?

He said he was connecting to my IP, it didn't even occur to me he was looking at the external IP but that's exactly what was going on. Working fine now. Haha don't worry, I'm pretty sure everyone has done that at some point.

So now that we are done with terraria, can anyone suggest any similar (non-starbound) multiplayer explore-y games? My partner and I are bored.

Yeah it was kind of a shame because in 1.2 fishron put up a good fight and felt like a pretty well-balanced boss. He was the only one that didn't need much of an expert boost - but now he's on par with the moon lord. I built a teleport mine cart in the ocean biome and used a sniper rifle with chlorophyte bullets to kill him. Also his tendancy to despawn if you blink is infuriating. The fact that you can discourage him from doing this by using a sniper scope is dumb.
