I really love the concept of this mod but I feel the visual could get repetitive over time. I think it would be cool if using different weapons or accessories changed the visuals for the weakpoint.

They will always appear if you're holding a spear, as it is the main feature of the mod

Is there a way to remove the visual of weakpoint? Love the idea but sometimes their appearance seem a bit distracting, and if there's a group of mobs those light cone cluster the screen.

it should

does this work with multiplayer

@ZamasuTrainer what for?

hey, please add config menu!

Compatible with Thorium?

I was getting into creating my own mods for Terraria- starting with the idea of adding more spears, mechanics, and accessories but I gave up when I saw someone already had a better vision! Love it!

Accessories do that

anyone know how change the weakpoint spawn interval? Like making it from every 10 seconds to every 3 seconds. The mod doesn't have a config so I'm kinda at a loss

what about animation mods? like a cooler swing motion for different weapons and such?

it doesnt work with the calamity mod, sadly

CAN U MAKE A MAGIC SPELL THAT FORCE PUSHES ENEMIES

really cool mod, do you think it'd be possible to rework the daybreak to be a spear that fires on rightclick? feels kinda weird just having the north pole as the final spear and no pillar weapon or ML drop

Projectiles created by "true melee" hits will activate weakpoints, however.

I think I've found the issue. Calamity has an offshoot of melee damage called "true melee", which specifically applies to vanilla weapons that don't fire projectiles. You making it so that weakpoints are only triggered by melee damage may not be counting true melee.

The weak points won't trigger. Could this be because I'm playing Calamity, which reworks a lot of weapons?

I really like the mod, the changes to spear gameplay are amazing, there's just one thing I'm missing, more spears at certain points in the game. It's not that there are big emphy gaps in the progression, but I feel there aren't any "attractive" options.

The spears of hardmode minerals are good, but they aren't "WOW" just... normal spears. A Slime Queen crystal spear that throws crystal shards on hit and the Daybrak being considered a spear would be great additions.

Give extra effects to "normal" spears works too.

No. Because they really don't have any range benefit to any other weapon their price still the shortest weapons in the game. I'd slow down their tack pattern but give them much more range and make it so that he gets a bunch of knock back

Not sure how they failed to make them spears. It feels pretty much exactly like what a spear should be, fishing for a weak point and poking for critical damage. I think it's perfect.

That is a very insightful comment, thank you very much

Well you did succeed in making them viable you have failed to make them Spears

Updated the mod :
- Added Russian localisation (by Alino4kaHvoshch)

remove your other weapon overhauls you dummies.

Same for me. It doesn't crit!

they appear, but it doesn't deal any more damage when i hit them

for some reason, my weakpoints aren't working

your mod actually inspired me to make a spear only calamity playthrough. So far im post-moon lord!

I really like the uniqueness of the mod, but in a real scenario with modded bosses, it becomes quite unusable. The weakpoints are way to unforgiving, hitting them during a boss fight is near impossible especially on bosses that move very fast. But still its fun to use, but not on par with other classes still.

Works great with spear overhaul, but why the crit dmg is so high?
Around 234 crit dmg for early game spears, literally 2shoted the eye of cthulhu with 2 heavy sings of the storm spear, its some mod adding damage?

does this work well in calamity or in multiplayer?

I'll beat terraira with this and make a video!

My apologies if this has been brought up (and considering that it's probably another to add to the pile of bugs involving Calamity.) This is an odd quirk i've encountered involving the Spear Rework mod.

Right now from what it looks like, spears with the "True Melee" damage type do not cause weakpoint damage, while spears with the normal melee damage type appears to act as intended with hitting weakpoints.

Would it be possible for you to list the drop rates of some of the items on the post, and also maybe your Mace Mod post? I think it'd just be nice to have

@LSDMan Thank you!
One of your mods might tweak the spear item and remove the spear flag from it, there is nothing I can do about it on my end sadly :/

This is never leaving my load order. Thank you for making this! <33
Unsure if bug or oversight, but ironically the regular "Spear" spear does not correctly trigger weakpoints for me. I have tested and have not been able to find which mod might conflict with this, but other spears work as intended. Running Calamity + Fargo's.

@LSDMan It should sometimes it doesn't classify some spears as spears.

This looks amazing, great job Verveine! Does this support spears added by other mods, out of the box?

Does it work with Spear Overhaul
by Riptide?

I legit started working on my own "More Spears Mod" for the same reason lol. I'm trying this out now

you're a legend, thank you!

@Natty Hunter it should be fine now :)

Updated the mod :
- Added SmallIcon
- Updated the mod icon
- Weakpoints cannot be triggered by non melee damage (such as summons) anymore
- Fixed display issues with mods that do not restore the Main Spritebatch to its usual state after modifying it

This is a really cool mod! However, theres a slight bug caused by mod compatibility (that took me about 3 hours to find the culprit...) Basically the starlight river mod creates a small pulsing green aura around the player when there are mannequins nearby and it is day time (I know, very random) but this mod makes the aura offset from the player in proportion to the zoom of the screen. Basically when zoomed in the aura becomes completely left-side of the player and its really distracting. Would you know why this could be happening? Is this mod tampering with the particles and effects logic?

i'm gonna use this with the throwable spears mod and do a spear only playthrough

t'es tres fort mec

HI, this is more curiosity than anything, but I was wondering if this mod works with modded spears like the elemental lance from calamity? or is it dependent on what you designate as a "spear" in the mods code?

see, the way i feel about rare drops from (common) monsters is that they shouldn't be the basis for builds, but that they're a neat thing that you have a chance of finding and that may end up changing your playstyle for a bit after you find them
i feel like this is particularly the case with pre hardmode (especially when you're still in the ore armors), as the class distinctions haven't really settled in yet
using exclusively one kind of weapon from start to finish in terraria doesn't *actually* make sense for players to do, its more of a challenge type thing
