Changing world difficulty of Tmodloader changes world version also

[Lankoss]

I'm trying to change my Calamity world on Tmodloader from Normal to Expert, it works no problem but when I load Tmodloader back up to play it, my world now has the (1.4 worlds not supported) message. The way I have been converting it is to cut/paste my Tmod world into the Terraria world folder (so that it shows up as an option within Tshock), editing the world mode then cut/paste it back into the Tmod world folder.

Should I be doing it a different way? Or maybe I should be using an older version of Tshock that doesn't automatically convert the world to 1.4 when changing the World difficulty?

Let me know, thanks :)

Are you using normal tModLoader without 1.4 support? If so then it means TShock is loading the world into 1.4 and saving it that way causing it to become a 1.4 world.

A better option would to be use TEdit instead

using an older version of TShock also works 👍

Do you happen to know the latest version of Tshock that is compatible with the current NORMAL Tmodloader release? I was planning on just using the last release of Tshock prior to 1.4 support. Edit: I'm looking into TEdit now also :)

iirc it's https://github.com/Pryaxis/TShock/releases/tag/v4.3.26. The TEdit link in my original post is also the latest non-1.4 version I could find

In the interim I did try changing it with the latest version of Tedit, and although it changed it to Expert (and there was no 1.4 error message this time), the world errored out on the loading screen and failed to load. I will try the versions you suggested :) Thanks for your help thus far.

I was able to edit the world into Expert using the version of TEdit you linked, everything seems to be working fine. Thanks for your help :)
