Nice idea lad, keep up the good work

Ok fellas, Here is the vanity set. This is all i was able to do, because i can only sprite, and not really code. just slap this in your ModLoader Mod Sources folder, and then use tmodloader’s developer mode to build it, and you should be good to roll.

i could make a fat npc that sells wg vanity items but i do not have the terraria smarts

This is close to how I’d implement it. My idea though was to make a new NPC similar to the angler, they’d give you a quest each day to find one of the game’s food items and they’d give you random stuff as a reward. Give them enough and you could unlock the option to change the other NPCs appearance (either through them or an item they give you).

I’m pretty dumb I still don’t know how to install this, I put it in a mod folder but I don’t see it in game

I saw recently that someone released a ‘Waifu’ mod for terraria that seems like it could be a decent base for this idea.

might just be easier to get fat sprites. tmodloader 1.4 alpha seems to be going well so i would honestly wait till it smooths itself out

It would be doable with the waifu Terraria sprites and I’m pretty sure they are an open resource made by an anonymous contributor, but I could be mistaken.

With that being said, if you look at how food currently works in Terraria, they give you a degree of “satisfaction” based on how filling the food is, ranging from a snack to “completely satisfied” and then there are associated time durations. Some foods that are extremely filling only last 8 minutes while some last upwards of 20.

My suggestion would be that based on how “filling” a food is and how long it remains “active” and whether or not you’re already “full” would determine weight-gain and duration.

If you’re already eaten an extremely filling food with a long lasting effect and then you eat that same food again, you will start to have the weight-gain effect and it will last for the duration of the buff, but just like in real life, if you only eat when you’re effectively hungry, then you will gain little to no weight.

If you imagine eating 3 medium level meals a day is equal to 2,000 calories then anything above or below that would induce a change in your weight. Sugary foods and alcohol could also be contributing factors.
I guess there could also be something about your physical activity tied in, but that’s a bit difficult as Terraria doesn’t have a stamina value to draw information from.

The appearance of gaining weight could be tied into temporary vanity armor that locks into your vanity slot. It could just knock your current vanity clothing back into your inventory and eventually there could even be some sprites for plus-sized armor and vanity items instead of just being naked or in underwear.
