Icons

[OmniArts]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can give me some info on using icons for compiling the game.
I know it has to be .ico but what size does it have to be.. and does GE automatically create the smaller icons?

does GE automatically create the smaller icons?

No. Game Editor just inserts the icon into executable file.

Well ive followed the instructions here...

And I've inserted all the images into one icon .ico file.

They are still not showing on PPC... If anyone has any information and has managed to accomplish this.. please let me know. My game is ready and waiting to be released

1. Create your Icon.ico size can be 16 - 48 pixels actually I like to use 48x48 pixels
2. In Game-editor software
goto Config > Game Properties like image below

3. Then select your Icon and click OK
4. Export your game software and that it. You will see your game Icon on .EXE file

if you are using a software that outputs a multi-res icon then don't. They don't work on most things.
