Resource hacker

[simulacra]

Can anyone recommend a good resource hacker for .exe files so that I can exchange the icons to high-res versions?

Use the Google, Luke. ResHack is the best one I've seen (though it's about the only one I've seen :)

(Apparently the program is called Resource Hacker, but I know it as ResHack for some reason...)

Here's a download link for Resource Hacker 3.4.0.

How thourough you are! Thank you!

I could never get ResHack to swap out the icon and then recomplie the game properly afterwards. It looks like an AGS game and even had all the right properties, but as soon as I tried to run it, it would crash with some sort of error.

After a while, I just used PhotoShop to create a better looking 16 color icon.

Does anyone else have this problem or am I the stupidest guy in the world?

Thanks (and let the humiliating mockery of me begin!)

I have no mockery to do, neither have I had that problem, but I do have a question... why did you go to the trouble of using ResHack if you could simply put the icon called user.ico in your game folder?

Because you can't use hi-color icons this way. See this tracker entry.

Aaahh. Okie dokie.

Which sucks incredibly. Can we fix this please.
48x48 alpha blended icons too.

Thankyou!
