Hello, I have a question that probably someone could answer me.
They saw the feasible file that comes with a text that he says Chris Jones and Adventure Game Studio run - should steal).
My question is how do I eliminate this message?, since I want to make something more personal. I prefer adding the name AGS in the credits of the game.
Good I hope that they could help me.
Thank you very much.

I'm having hard time to understand your post.

If you're talking about the popup descriptions when you hover the cursor over a game's executable, I'm sorry but you should not change them. Hacking of the AGS engine files are not encouraged here.

Ok, I am ready to pay for the program to be able to use it without constraint. How can I do to communicate with Chris Jones?. Thank you for his your response.

Well, you can contact him (he goes by the nickname of "Pumaman" hereabouts), but paying? Not at all, I'm afraid. The program is freeware, and Chris doesn't accept donations.

You could probably use a hex editor to fool around the executable, but as Gilbot said, that's not encouraged (and sort of a dickmove).

Thanks, alone I want to give her other one aesthetics to my product, I am not interested in modifying it, only I say that probably Chris Jones could facilitate the program to me without this message and I would put my gratefulnesses directly in my games. Thank you.

Well, you may try, but I'll say the chance is very, very slim.

Slimmer than he'd take a trans-sexual surgery to become a 'her' I might add.

Hello, alone I want to personalize more my game, but not like to do it, if someone knows that he says it to me, please.
I remember for example the game FATMAN that has the icon published, good it is what I want to achieve.

Ok, but I the only thing that I want is to edit this:



The motive is that I want to personalize more my games. I do not have problem in naming AGS in the credits of the game, but I would like to personalize the icon. How is it done?.
Thank you. :)

It is correct thing, I think?

YKnow, everyone can use Google.

Changing the editor icon has no effect on your games whatsoever though.

Reading this sentence is like watching a drawing by Escher.

Marianuchy, the bit you want to change IS NOT YOUR GAME. It is the editor. You can personalise your game with an Icon USING the editor, once you have finished making your game.

I don't see why this is so crazy for people, I also want to be able to customize that.

Make a bootstrap launching program and set that information to whatever you want.

A) I have the feeling few people understand what you are talking about...mostly because your English looks like an online-translation from Spanish to English.

B) MrColossal is right...I think.

So here's what I figured out from what Marianuchy said:
if you create a game using the AGS editor, your execute-file will always say Adventure Game Studio run-time engine - Chris Jones, as you can see in the screen-grab below of the game-directory for The Secret of Hutton Church of England Grammar School which was a recent game that (according to the properties) was made using a recent version of AGS (3.1.2.1074):


However, Marianuchy's problem is, that when they create a game they do not want to have it say that it's by Chris Jones, and to be honest...I agree with that.


But if I remember correctly I once read (years ago) that you were not allowed to alter the file to say something different here. Nevertheless, I would urge Chris to reconsider this, because it makes a created game feel less professional. Which may not be a regular problem, but if you want to make money from it, it might be annoying. Apart from the 'property'-confusion, it might also confuse people as to who was responsible for the game, and whom to contact when something goes wrong.

Ps. I think it would also be weird if every LucasArts game created using SCUMM would have SCUMM Runtime-Engine as a description and Ron Gilbert as the creator...Even for games the guy never worked on ;)
