Awesome, glad it works for you!

This game is now weaksauce. Skeletron and Hell now suck. >_>

Start a new character like everyone else is, nub.

You didn't actually answer my question Inferno.

Lava now evaporates water when it isn't like super direct flow/contact, for the most part. I still can get water in hell though, so I doubt it completely evaporates. I think the water -> lava is about it.

To anyone who may know: Is there any method to destroy either water or lava? As in, can you make an infinite waterfall and have it not end up flooding your entire world over time?

It seems my question was ninja'd with half the answer lol, water can apparently be destroyed with close proximity to lava.

Now, is there any way to dispose of lava that's being infinitely generated, glitches or otherwise?

You can place blocks of any type on a block of liquid (dirt works best), wait a second for the liquid to "disappear" from on top of the placed brick, and then break the brick, and it will remove that block of liquid. It's time consuming, but it works.

Not sure but can't liquid drain out of the bottom of the map? Keep in mind there are several tiles beyond the client's boundries that you can't get to.

It still works to some extent, but you can put a door next to any liquid and spam open/close, which will completely delete nearby liquids.

Looking for something automated, much like the way the infinite waterfall is automated once it starts (although knowing these tricks certainly doesn't hurt ). As an example, I was hoping maybe if you pour lava onto obsidian it would disappear, I had it happen once but I figured it wasn't easily reproducible.


Is there any way to expand the client's boundaries to see them?

Just make a drain to hell. Or throw some dynamite and make a huge vat.

It'll still eventually flood your world with lava though, right? Or would it take such an incredibly long time that you'd never see it happen?

Correct, but this seems to stop water flow if you spam it too quick. I think they implemented something to stall water if too much moves in a certain area, which is generally what happens in dupes and deletes. The same thing now happens with the bick overlay method too.

This seems to be hardcoded. Also, the edge of the map seems very glitchy, some monsters will walk off the edge and disappear, some will come back. Liquids seem to do the same. I know there are actual blocks off the side of the map, since you can break them (we broke a ton while draining the ocean), but I'm not sure how deep it is or what exactly happens if anything goes too far off the edge.
It would take a long while, especially if you have a medium or large world, but yes, it would eventually.

Alright thanks, sounds promising. Looks like on Monday I'll be experimenting with using the edge of the map for draining purposes

Btw, I know some people have server modifications, I'm wondering if there's a way to disable the auto-settling of liquids?

Definitely possible. I haven't gone all the way to the edge, but I've been closer to the edge than you can normally go. To go all the way to the edge, I'd need to add more array bounds checks so the game doesn't crash.

Probably could be done, but the game might lag really bad when it gets to where it would normally do it.

If anyone is using my Terraria.exe mod, redownload it to get an update that adds some extra checks in the code I added having to do with sign editing. I may have experienced a crash having to do with it.

EDIT:

May be unrelated to the crash, actually. It is in the list of bugs on the Terraria wiki.

Hmm, I don't feel that Night's Edge is quite worth giving up the Muramasa, Fiery Great Sword and Blade of Grass. Only +4 dmg from FGS, slow attack speed, and range of the muramasa, not the FGS or BoG.

I agree, I made it and thought it would have the FGS' range. But noooo.

I highly recommend that anyone should try out this map. It's a single player adventure thing taking after Zelda games.

I've figured out the nature of the crash I experienced. For now, be sure to talk to the Guide again without clicking Crafting after you go into his crafting help, or the game will crash if you click in the game window while having a sign open. If you would forget to do that, avoid using that feature at all until this is fixed.
