Hi,

 

any way to change the icon of the game, and the detail in properties ?

Hence my initial post.

 

I know it's technically possible, but the reason I didn't call out resource hacker by name (well one of them, the other was because I forgot what it was called and wasn't going to look it up to then not mention it) is because it's not fool proof, and it's a gamble as to whether or not it corrupts the executable when you try to change too many things without knowing the ramifications (source: I've corrupted an executable changing too many things with it before).

 

The correct answer is "you need to compile it with the desired settings yourself, which requires source". Executable manipulation is not going to be the best option soon, and quite frankly it's a terrible solution for someone who doesn't actually know what they're doing and not something we should have on the forum as an answer, especially not an accepted one.

Source.

There are some tools that are able to inject a new icon and details into the executable, but to do it properly you need the source and to compile it yourself.

Google 'resource hacker'

Yeah, I tried to change with ressources hacker, but when i run the client intersect, icon is still the same in the taskbar and top left, but not in the folder

I think the icon is on net ressource folder, but we can't edit it..

But, it's really weird to publish game if we can't have ur own icon

Yeah, best option is waiting for source release.. especially when it comes to modifying the icon in the top left of the application window. There is no other solution that I know of.

Indeed, i was only telling that hacker resource wasn't a solution for what he wanted to do.
