if you edit published exe you will get an error.

You must edit the acknex.exe before publishing your game with tools like reshacker.

Doing such thing like in my first post is not prohibited, afaik. At least JCL didnt comlained about. And there is way like placing some icons in the folder that changes the taskbar icon, you should check manual for that but this doenst change the main exe icon.

I use 3DGS PurePacker to pack my resources. It has option to change the exe icon.

Search "icon" in the help manual to find:


For using an executable with an individual icon, create a copy of the acknex.exe engine in your Gamestudio folder, alter the icon of the copy with an Icon Manager program, and give the path to the altered executable in the Engine field. The executable will then be created from your copy with the altered icon, rather than from the original engine. Please note that afterwards altering the icon of a published executable won't work.

Hi!

I did it a while ago and wrote this at the time.

Quote:


Here's what I found out thanks to the help
and the information from the forum smile.

The first step is to find a paint program that permits you
to paint 16x16 32-bits or 32x32 32-bits for Windows XP.
I found one at www.download.com in the windows section.

The second step is to find a program that will change the icon for the acknex.exe engine.
I found one at www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/


I painted my icon and I saved it as 32.ico in my game folder.

Then I did what the manual says. smile
The manual says :
Quote:

For using an EXE file with an individual icon,
1- create a copy of the acknex.exe engine in your Gamestudio folder,
2- alter the icon of the copy with an Icon Manager program,
3- and give the path to the altered EXE in the Engine field (or just copy it back to acknex.exe).
4- The executable will then be created from your copy with the altered icon,
rather than from the original engine.
Please note that afterwards altering the icon of a published executable won't work.




The executable to my game was created with my icon when I published it. smile

What was needed on top of the information in the manual was the information on the "32-bit"

Hope this helps!
