How can I set the icon to a predefined file instead of using IED to set the icon?

Google Reshacker.

you can import images from IED?

oh guys,tell me you'r kidding!
you don't know that?
well,if you not kidding,you can open up IED, hit 'load', choose an icon,hit 'set'.
but iam 100% sure that you are just joking

I know you can import an image from a file with IED but when you set your icon for the engine it does not exactly turn out great

You can change the engine icon with SED ...


Plugins -> ChangeEXEicon

why?it work's fine to me!
may be its you'r icon

How to customize icon without IED

• Create a bitmap with alpha and export it to PNG - make sure that your width/height is a power of two! (16,32,64,128,...)
• Download @icon sushi - it is a free icon editing application: http://www.towofu.net/soft/e-aicon.php
• Load the PNG and make sure that you get the alpha channel right
• Save as icon (*.ico)
• Download the res hacker - it is a free resource hacking application. With this tool, you can alter EXE icons: http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
• Open the original acknex.exe with the res hacker and replace the engine icon with your own icon, and save
• Compile your game to an exe. The resulting EXE file will have your custom icon now.

Okay, why you are doing it so hard, i don't understand you -.-


Why not use the build in editor(of SED) to change the exe icon??

Can anyone explain that?

I don't know,it works more than great to me,
may be some people find it'too good to be true'!!
