After I compile my game, is there any way to change the icon of the game's .EXE file from the blue cup to something else?
I tried the simplest method I could think of (file properties in the Explorer), but there was nothing there for changing the icon. :(
If you read the manual, it explains how to set up custom icons. You need a program that can create valid ICO icon files (if you look in the Big List of Paint Programs, there should be a link to IcoFX which is good and free). I believe that the file names are USER.ICO and SETUP.ICO for the game EXE and the winsetup EXE respectively. However, I just logged in while waiting for a phone call, so... :P
Read this (http://americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/AGS_Editor_%26_User_Interface#Custom_icon_not_working.2C_doesn.27t_appear_as_game.27s_icon)
Thanks again, guys. :)
Just curious, I just got done going through the license for AGS and didn't see anything that refers to my new question about custom icons...
For the AGS Setup file, I was just wondering if there is anyway to change the comments and description of the file? Obviously I want to keep credit where credit is due, but would like the icon to read something along the lines of "<my game> Setup Launcher" and "<my game> Game Setup" instead of Adventure Game Studio Setup Launcher and AGS Game Setup.
I don't know that there's a way to do this from within AGS but there are programs like Resource Hack (http://www.google.de/search?q=resource+hack) that allow changing exe data.
edit: Tested this and was able to change the information without breaking winsetup.exe.
