Thanks

this is great, nice way to give npcs life

No prob

I saw you added configurable chance, thank you! :) That's perfect.

You say you would like terraria's Halloween and Christmas version, but this is just another birthday, just like the NPCs', so I think keeping it like them is fine.
You'll probably forget this even exists or have already removed the mod by the time your actual birthday comes anyways

Birthday once a year in Terraria, nah, I would so not like that. And the char's birthday isn't mine anyway. Maybe creation date would fit, but then it'd have to be at least once per month.

Well, I would rather use Terraria's feature of checking calendar for Halloween/Christmas. You just put your date of birth in config and here you go, on this day you will receive gifts, buffs etc. For further birthday gift progression add a year and you will get better gifts every next year (However changing local PC time/date might be useful for abusing this mod).
I am more than sure mods are not allowed to send personal information anywhere (only diagnostic data). If the mod sends data on external web sources, it may also be reviewed by tModloader tech support. Just make it stay with the mod.

I'd welcome it. :) Thanks!

Hmm, I guess I'll add that if you'd like

An option for the chance would be welcome. After it happened once, I'd like to lower the chance too, to make it a nice unexpected surprise. :) Not quite to 1/365 though.

(Going by Terraria Blood Moon and Solstice event frequency, the orbit is certainly not anything similar to ours. :P )

You would never see it if it was souch a low chance, and yes it's very silly

very silly

1/365 chance every morning would be better imo

Are you sure it's up to date? I literally erased all the code that does that and updated it

pressing down still skips a day btw

I'm glad

Rotfl. They are though. :)

Yes, they are! :))

(ignore that I'm the developer saying that something I made is cool)

Yeah, modded ones only give a couple coins, but vanilla ones are cool

From the modded ones? I don't know.

The vanilla NPC gave me all sorts of stuff, from hair dye, over pink gel dye, to spikey balls. :))

Oh, then you got money I didn't know what else to give

I got stuff from the normal NPC, just not the modded ones!

Well, I'm glad you at least had fun, even if it seems like it got bugged and didn't give you anything

Finally had a birthday, went on a shopping spree, got presents from everyone! With a personalized note that had me chuckle a bunch of times, and gifts! The presents from modded chars had nothing in them, but that's ok. :)

Fun mod! :)

Ok, np

Thanks for the fix! Will check it out again later today. :) (I just got up and busy with other things right now.)

Haha I like this idea

Also, Dice? Yeah, it's kind of crazy, but at least I'm limiting myself to extremely small mods

Oh god, that was to test it myself, I thought I removed it. I will do it now. Also, you are supposed to buy stuff to get gifts, not just talk to npcs, and I have no idea if journey mode breaks it (probably), and it should remember that it is your birthday on game close.
Also, no, the npcs don't wear hats, couldn't get that to work.

Your mod makes it so that 'd' (in my layout that's the down key) advances a full day, without it being configurable.

Are you just doing these mods to mess with people?

Just had the same, birthday party started, and then it said hope you had a great birthday, it's only a few minutes past 4:30.

This sounds like fun! But...

Are you sure this works?

I had a birthday party announced, stopped time because I was busy showing a friend a screenshot and didn't want to miss the birthday stuff, then closed the game to start vanilla Terraria for another screenshot (my friend is new to the game and I showed him Skeletron arenas).

I went back to tModLoader, started my game, remembered birthday, chatted with a few NPC, no gifts.

A while later (I was molecarting my way through Hell) it said again it's my birthday, immediately followed by, "Hope you had a great birthday". I went home, chatted with a few NPC, no gifts.

No one was wearing party hats either time either.

Does it forget birthday status upon game close?

Does it get confused by Journey Mode time stop? (I ended frozen time for now, maybe I get another birthday soon. :) )

one mod every day for a month? that's crazy

Done

Ok, you got it

Maybe the Slice of cake could be obtained from the Party Girl like in a regular party day if that's possible?
