Terraria

About

TerrariaOGC is a port of the old-generation Xbox 360 and PS3 console versions of Terraria, decompiled from the original versions and moved away from console systems. It builds on a hybrid of FNA and MonoGame with Lidgren.Network for networking, and the README gives Windows build instructions only. You need to provide assets from the official old-gen console releases. The README asks people to support the official releases and says it is not meant as a free substitute for them.

How it differs from the original

Adds variable screen sizing and other options, optional gameplay tweaks set in Settings.ini, re-implemented debug features such as an FPS counter, an achievement system built from the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, and world backups when saving from the pause menu. Only the 1.1-era releases are playable so far; the 1.03 and 1.09 content is planned for a later update.

Getting started

Build it on Windows following the separate build guide, with the assets from an official old-gen console release. Saves from the original versions can be transferred if the version matches. Press F after the Engine Software logo to toggle full-screen, and change the username through the Gamertag key in Settings.ini.
