Icons and transitions

#1 Post by dr-black-jack »

Hi guy!

Just wanted to ask you all how it might be possible to change the .exe icon in a game distribution to something other than the renpy mascot symbol. I've read the information about how to use

Code: Select all

config.windows_icon = "Picture.jpg"
However when I insert a small 32x32 bit image into the folder, I can't seem to come up with the new image.

Transition codes such as

Code: Select all

config.game_main_transition	= "picture.jpg"
and

Code: Select all

config.exit_transition = "picture.jpg"
don't seem to work either.

I'd really appreciate some help on how to get htis to work if anyone out there would be willing to shed some light on how to do this.

Thanks very much for your time!

Yes, you'll need XN Resource Editor and then you edit the .ico file.
Don't worry, we can get through it together. I didn't forget about you! I just got overwhelmed.

It doen't change an image of .exe file's icon.. It is just for changing window icon.

and the transition problem..
There are some pre-defined transitions. Pick one of them and put it after = sign.

Putting 'Transition function' also works well.

Code: Select all

config.game_main_transition = dissolve
config.exit_transition = Dissolve(.7)

Do we have a dedicated Cookbook Recipe covering this exact question, or is it in the FAQ on the Wiki yet?

Apparently you can create files "icon.ico" and "icon.icns", though I didn't know that myself until I found that page.
I released 3 VNs, many moons ago: Elven Relations (IntRenAiMo 2007), When I Rule The World (NaNoRenO 2005), and Cloud Fairy (the Cute Light & Fluffy Project, 2009).
More recently I designed the board game Steam Works (published in 2015), available from a local gaming store near you!
