Crashes on launch when trying to use texture pack on OSX/Linux

[gamrguy]

Description

When attempting to run Terraria with a texture pack (Texture Pack.zip in the TexturePacks folder) the game will immediately crash on launch. This only occurs on OSX/Linux - users on Windows appear to be fine.

Steps to Reproduce

0. Have Experimental Features enabled (to allow loading texture packs)
1. Place a Texture Pack.zip in the ModLoader/TexturePacks folder.
2. Attempt to run Terraria.
3. See that the game crashes.

Expected behavior

...that the game wouldn't crash and would load the texture pack as normal. Or perhaps multiple texture packs, as there is a "TexturePacks" folder for a reason, eh? Is multiple texture packs a feature?

Actual behavior

As stated: the game crashes.

Reproduction frequency

100%

Versions

I once tested this a while back (might've been a 0.8 version, not sure) but was tested for tModLoader v0.10.0.2.

Mods

The crash occurs before the game starts loading properly. No mods are involved.

Additional Information

The crash occurs without the game window ever opening; on OSX, the app icon briefly appears on the dock and quickly closes. Running the game via Terminal reveals no crashlog.

Can you check ModLoader/Logs ? Anything specific in there?

[gamrguy]

I checked the logs. None were updated upon attempting to launch the game.

Other people with this issue have reported a log looking like this in the client's crash log:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Ionic.Zip.ZipFile' threw an exception. ---> System.NotSupportedException: Encoding 437 data could not be found. Make sure you have correct international codeset assembly installed and enabled.

I have the same problem even with normal Terraria on Linux it just does not open with texture packs

Fixed! Try it out in 0.11 (soon to be released)
