tModLoader Metroid Mod

Official Terrarian
This mod is currently in Open Beta. This means there is the possibility of bugs and balance issues that you may encounter while playing.
-Single Player-
* As far as we know, the only major singleplayer issues are balance related. Let is know what is too difficult or too easy, and we’ll see what we can do to fix it!
-Multiplayer-
* Enemies and bosses have wonky behavior in multiplayer. They may «teleport» short distances. It’s possible some bosses may be too difficult in multiplayer as a result. If this is the case, feel free to use a cheat mod or fight the boss in singleplayer.
* Using Right Click to collect an item from a Chozo Statue may cause the item to disappear instead. Use a pickaxe to mine the item for the time being. Same applies to Missile Expansions. A fix has been implemented for this, but I don’t know if it works 100%. I would like multiplayer users to try obtaining items via right click to see if all is well.
-tModLoader 64bit-
* This mod is untested on TML64 and some users have reported crashes when using it.
Feedback is greatly appreciated, as we will be actively trying to fix each issue that crops up.
While reporting issues on this thread is fine, you may also report issues here. Simply click «New Issue», give it a title and a description. The more details the better.
Mod Contents:
A wiki is currently being worked on for this mod. In the meantime, here’s a quick progression guide so you can get into the thick of it:
-Getting started-
First of all, make sure the mod is properly enabled and loaded. Then, make a new world and character.
The start is not far off from vanilla: Dig, build, explore, fight.
During your exploration, you may encounter a few new things: Chozite Ore, Chozo Statues, and Missile Expansions.
Note: Chozite Ore requires 50% pickaxe power to mine, though Chozo Statues do not have this requirement. Mining a statue will net you additional Chozite ore. (Personal statues can be made out of regular stone, and mining them does not give you ore.)
Every statue you encounter will have an item resting on its hands. Almost every item you find will be unusable, however, but save them for later. Same goes for Missile Expansions.
Continue playing until you’re powerful enough to defeat the Eye of Cthulhu. Chozite Armor can be made out of Chozite Ore.
Not exactly a Power Suit. yet!
You may have noticed an odd icon on your map.
You’ll know you’re reaching the end once you see a Save Station (it’s actually just a fancy bed).
I hope you’ve brought plenty of arrows for your bow, or have plenty of magic for your magic weapon. or just plan on swinging a sword into it. Either way, it’s time to fight the Torizo.
But also remember how the Torizo was holding an Energy Tank? With these Energy Shards, you can craft Energy Tanks. However, to do so, you will also need Shadow Scales (if on a Corruption world) or Tissue Samples (if on a Crimson world). Which means you need to fight a vanilla boss: Either Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu.
With Energy Shards and Shadow Scales/Tissue Samples in hand, crafting Energy Tanks is now doable. You may now use Energy Tanks to convert your Chozite Armor into.
The Power Suit! -Insert Samus intro fanfare here-
Q: How do I fight the Omega Pirate/access Phazon content/cause the Phazon meteor to spawn?
A: Defeat Plantera on hardmode, and you should see a chat message stating a Phazon meteor has landed.
If it has not landed, this could be because of 1 of 2 reasons:
1- You have a sky bridge going from one end of the map to the other, in which case breaking out a section of the bridge should allow it to spawn.
2- A rare bug has occurred wherein a meteor never spawns and never will. Please report anything you can if this happens, as I have no idea what causes it and it’s hard to replicate.
After it has successfully landed, you’ll find it on the surface. It’ll look like a normal meteorite, except it’ll consist of Phazon ore. And in the center of the meteor is a red Phazon core. You’ll need to craft the Nova Laser Drill tool in order to mine the ore and the core. Mining the core does not yield any items, and instead, it’ll spread Phazon through the world, similar to destroying a Demon Altar and having a hardmode ore spawn through the world.
Phazon ore can be turned into Phazon Bars via the Nova Worktable, and Phazon Bars can be used to craft the Omega Pirate’s summon item.
Q: How do I get the Supercooled Plasma Core?
A: It is dropped from the Ice Queen mini-boss that spawns during the Frost Moon event. (I’m planning on changing this in the future so that it’s more easily accessible.)
Q: What about Fusion content? (Fusion Suit/X Parasites/SA-X)
A: This is a little iffy. I do plan to add Fusion content, but as of yet, I’m not sure how. There’s a lot that goes into Fusion as a whole, and it’s difficult to implement it in a faithful way.
X-Parasites spawning from enemies, for example, would be a huge gameplay change, and I want to make sure players who don’t want them can easily opt-out of having them. Yet at the same time, I want to make sure they still pose the threat that they are. It gets messy if I don’t make sure the details are worked out properly in a way that makes sense.
Update 2.1.0.3 (hotfix)
Changes:
* New Mod Icon and new Larval Metroid sprite (thanks, Begoliah!)
* It is now easier to target enemies with Seeker Missiles.
* Redid crit chance code for Hunter weapons. This fixes generic crit bonuses not being applied to it and we’ve added Hunter crit bonuses to the various power suit helmets.
* Buffed Power Beam crit chance from 3% to 7%
* Buffed Missile Launcher crit chance from 3% to 14%
* Reduced Missile Combo Cost reductions granted by armor breastplates.
We’re aware a lot of things are overpowered right now and these small changes aren’t very significant. But we mostly wanted the crit functionality to be there when we make further changes.
Balance changes are coming, don’t worry. It’s just that bug fixing is simply taking a higher priority over balance tweaks right now
Fixes:
* Fixed improper file path for Hyper Beam item tile colors which was causing errors.
* Fixed game scaling and UI scaling causing misalignment with the Seeker and Vortex Storm targeting reticles. Also added a visual animation when initially targetting an enemy with Seekers.
* Fixed crawlers (Geemer, Sova, etc.) and hoppers (Sidehopper, Dessgeega) not being colored by other effects such as Hunter’s Potion or freeze debuff.
* Fixed Morph Ball drill being able to mine things during the Old One’s Army event.
* Fixed Serris flying off the map. Now if it goes out of bounds, it begins heading back towards the player.
* Fixed Omega Pirate expert boss bag floating in air, when it should drop to the floor like a vanilla bag.
Fixes that need further testing:
* Tweaked Power Beam/Missile Launcher Charge code to (hopefully) alleviate firerate issues. (Some users reported that Charge Beam increases firerate, even though I never really encountered this myself, but I did what I could to fix it anyway.)
* Various Ice Beam freeze debuff fixes and tweaks. Hopefully any and all AI issues have been fixed. Also flying enemies no longer drop to the floor (non-flying enemies still do).
* Possibly fixed Serris crashes.
* Fixed Serris not spawning body gore when transforming to X-Core in multiplayer.
* Fixed crawler enemies (Geemer, Sova, Zeela) teleporting in multiplayer.
* Fixed Kraid not opening his mouth in multiplayer.
* Fixed Kraid despawn issues.
* Fixed Phantoon damage phase issue where damaging him would not accelerate the phase in multiplayer.
Known Issues that are being looked into:
* Omega Pirate has various issues in multiplayer. Because this boss is such a code beast, an entire hotfix may be dedicated to him.
* Some balance issues aren’t simply stat related and are more related to exploitable boss AI. Yeah. this is gonna take awhile to rectify.
Update 2.1.0.2 (hotfix)
Potential Fixes (Need further testing):
* Implemented possible fix for the Grapple Beam bug caused by players holding Up and pressing Jump. I have been unable to replicate the bug, but going off of a hunch on what causes it, I did a minor code tweak. If this doesn’t fix it, lemme know.
* Possible fix for Chozo Statue items disappearing in multiplayer. Would like others to test this with connected friends to see if it’s working properly.
More fixes are underway. Thank you all for the bug reports! Keep it up!

The Power Beam and Missile Launcher are very useful weapons, as various addons can be made to make these weapons more powerful. Addons can be installed by selecting the Power Beam/Missile Launcher in your hotbar and pressing the appropriate key (default: Q).
The Power Beam has 5 addon slots, each with their own designated type, allowing fairly specific combinations to be installed into the beam. The slot types are as follows:
Charge,
Secondary,
Utility,
Primary A,
and Primary B.
As you know, in Super Metroid, combining Spazer and Plasma Beam was an impossible feat. The Power Beam by itself cannot function with both the Primary A and B slots in use, unless an upgraded Charge addon is installed.
The Charge Beam V2 allows the use of combining Primary A and B addons. The Charge Beam V2 is also a lot more advanced in that it completely changes the way every beam looks, each new look resembling the beams from Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission (whereas the beams originally resemble beams from Super Metroid).
The Missile Launcher only has 2 addon slots, and one expansion slot. These slots are designated as Charge and Primary, whereas the Expansion slot doesn’t count as an addon slot.
A Phazon Meteor will be created on world generation, as the last thing to be generated. The Phazon Meteor looks just like a normal Meteor consisting of normal Phazon, but the center of it will consist of a red Phazon Core.
Phazon, as well as the core, cannot be mined by normal means, such as pickaxes or drills. The only tool capable of mining out any of the meteor is the Nova Laser.
Simply mining one block of the core will cause the entire core to explode (watch out, it can hurt), and upon doing so, it will cause the world to generate Phazon, with the phrase, «Your world has been corrupt with Phazon!»
The player then can find Phazon underground like any other ore.
These options mostly include key customizations, but it also includes other little options, such as turning on/off the HD particle effect for the Phazon Beam, or other options for the X-Ray Visor’s Head Tracking.
(Will add example gifs for. everything, in the future.)
Beam offsets
Sometimes when firing a beam consisting of more than one shot, one of the shots will be delayed by a frame and the shots will be offset. This does not affect the damage, however, it’s a bit funky looking.
Flying Arm Cannons
If you have a trail effect (i.e. Shadow Armor or Speed Boosting) and you’re somersaulting, upon firing the Power Beam, little arm cannons will fly off in random directions for 2-3 frames. I have no idea what causes it, so I don’t know how to fix it yet.
Please report bugs as you find them. I really wanna fix as many as I can.
2.0 r4a (Hotfix)
Fixed crash caused by shooting the Wave-Spazer combo off the edge of the map.
Skeletrons arms are no longer freezable.
Bomb damage tool tip added to Morph Ball.

Somersault checks tweaked a bit for wings and rocket boots
Player’s run physics are now a bit more ‘slippy’ when in Morph Ball form, giving it the feeling of actually rolling.
Boost Ball now works in a Prime style manner when using it in conjunction with the Spider Ball (Spider Ball in itself is still a little buggy)
Speed Booster tweaked
Fixes
Fixed graphical bug caused by throwing the Missile Launcher out of your inventory while using Concentration
Reworked Grappling Beam. Should now be more bug-free.
Ice Beam debuff reworked. On top of not being able to freeze bosses, it also cannot freeze enemies who have 3000 max HP or more.
Speed Booster can no longer be equipped when the player already has the Space Booster equipped and vice-versa.
Space Jump can no longer be equipped when the player already has the Space Booster equipped and vice-versa.
Morph Ball can no longer be equipped when the player already has the Morph Ball V2 equipped and vice-versa.
Fixed Morph Ball recipe typo. It now requires Gold Bars instead of Silver.
Missile Launcher can now alternatively be crafted with The Undertaker.
Phazon is now bomb-proof
Fixed hair styles given by the Stylist sometimes showing up when in Morph Ball form
2.0 r3
Fixed bug where de-equipping Morph Ball while it was active would cause graphical glitches. Instead the player simply returns to normal when it’s de-equipped.
Fixed similar bugs involving the Speed Booster. The Blue Suit is no more. ;-; (Lol)
Ice Beam can no longer freeze WoF’s eyes. It is also less effective against Skeletron(Prime)’s arms (needs further tweaking, actually. )
Serris’s Speed Boost ability has been adjusted to be more lethal.
Green Plasma Beam tweaked. Should be more viable for crowd control.
Morph Ball now properly disables Flying Carpet while active. (Somersaulting is also disabled when using the Flying Carpet.)
Morph Ball recipe changed to: 20 Meteorite Bar, 3 Diamond, 5 Gold/Platinum Bar, 3 Fallen Star; at an Anvil
Morph Ball V2 recipe changed to: 1 Morph Ball, 3 Adamantite/Titanium Bar, 35 Wire, 20 Soul of Fright; at a Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil

Final Notes
I highly recommend using Shockah’s Fancy Cheat Menu, as it will greatly help in obtaining items that were meant to be obtainable but either had an unfair recipe, or had no recipe at all.
(Old tConfig version can be found here, but I don’t know if anyone still wants to play it. )
