Custom EXE icon

[Yuri Patrick]

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...

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 that allow changing exe data.

edit: Tested this and was able to change the information without breaking winsetup.exe.
