Icons in Conquer.exe

12/05/2010 14:13 denominator#1
Ok so I have been able to do a few things with the Conquer.exe, well nearly everything I need to do with it anyway lol. I stumbled across a problem though >.<

The exe carries with it icons but if you try to change those icons using reshack then the exe becomes invalid and unstable? So my question is how the hell do I put my own icons instead of the stupid TQ icons.

Thank you lmao. I will have a read but it`s going to tell me what I already know using reshack >.< Point is when you try to add your own icons to Conquer.exe instead of just the

Code:
16 x 16 (256 colors) - Ordinal name: 17
16 x 16 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 18
32 x 32 (256 colors) - Ordinal name: 19
32 x 32 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 20
48 x 48 (256 colors) - Ordinal name: 21
48 x 48 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 22
You get this just using one icon >.<

Code:
16 x 16 (1 colors) - Ordinal name: 1
16 x 16 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 2
16 x 16 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 3
32 x 32 (1 colors) - Ordinal name: 4
32 x 32 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 5
32 x 32 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 6
48 x 48 (1 colors) - Ordinal name: 7
48 x 48 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 8
48 x 48 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 9
64 x 64 (1 colors) - Ordinal name: 10
64 x 64 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 11
64 x 64 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 12
128 x 128 (1 colors) - Ordinal name: 13
128 x 128 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 14
128 x 128 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 15
But still I will have a look lol.

Good call I know why it has been failing now :D

Make a new icon using photoshop and this : [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Go into reshack and replace the icon using the icon you build in ico workshop.

when you're building icons make sure to make all the different sizes.
I made an icon for my own use, which includes sizes up to 128x128 and 256x256 << Mac
128x128 is for vista/win7 desktops to show a bigger icon.

Also, make sure you include the different color types, cause if someone has lowered their color settings your icon will look retarded.

I got a free prog for making icons "IcoFX" I just got to understand it a little but yeah I kind of figured the reshack part now :) I decided to have a read on the different sizes of icons but I really got to sleep before I start confusing myself lol. Weed and lack of sleep means lots of stupid errors :P

IcoFX is actually what I was looking for to tell you to use ^^
But I forgot the name and found something else :D

It's actually pretty cool. It's got PS plugins

And yeah, no clue about the weed. But no sleep. Yeah.
It's 10:41 AM and I haven't slept yet. Been up all night working on stuff.
