How do you get the taskbar item to say "your game title" other Adventure Game Studio.  I tried using a Resource Hacker, but AGS just crashed on me if I did change it from within it.  I remember seeing it done with Kings Quest 2+.  Does anybody know how to do this?

SSH

Its the very first thing visible when you load AGS: General Settings, top-left field "Game name"

Still says Adventure Game Studio after doing it

Well, it works for me (although it is still AGS very briefly at start-up). I'm using v2.56.

Some checks:
Did you save the game?
Do you have a custom icon: I do, I suppose you might need one to get it to update the title, too...

Indeed, you are correct, it just shows AGS really briefly

xenogia: if your resource hacker can make me put an own icon into my game exe file, I would like to know where i can get it!

you can already put your own icon into AGS. the only reason to use resource hacker is if you for some reason need an extreme highdefinition +bajesus resolution icon.

that was the main reason why i did, it for a true colour icon.  but it crashed the program when i imported it anyways

True colour? I think 256 coloured icons is enough in most cases already. Anyway, any icons will show up as 16 colours in my computer, as I'm using WIN95 anyway. :P

Aye, AGS be showin' "Adventure Game Studio" in the taskbar while it loads the game files to discover the true name.
