I have an Icon(.ico file) that I made with version 3.2 of my painter program(I have not posted this version yet.),
but I keep having one problem: every Icon I make with it works with every program I have that can view Ico files exept GE.
Meaning: every time I add my painter Icon I made with my program as an Icon for my program and I try to export it the exported version does not have my icon, instead it simply has the GE icon...
any Ideas?

Can you post the icon?

samething happens to me but i use just plain paint it's SOO frusterating and i export it as a .ico

okay,
Here it is(it is in a .zip because extention .ico is now allowed. ) :

I think there are something wrong in this icon file.
Some techinical details now...

The icon file starts with a header thats contains three values:

Reserved: Reserved (must be 0)
Type: Resource Type (1 for icons)
Count: How many images?

In your file, the Reserved and Type is wrong.
Loading the file in a HEX editor, I can see there is not a real .ico file, but a BMP file!

So, Game Editor can't export the icon.

allright, thankyou.

some programs would accept bmps as ico. At one point windows would look at the header of a file and decide what it was. it would ignore the extension in some cases, so there was a security issue as people would hide viruses in things like screen savers.
