Custom Icons Created 20 years ago2004-05-10 07:33:11 UTC by Unbreakable

Ok I made a custom Icon For my Mod "Blind Justice"
And It worked fine, and looked good, so I kept it. And shut my computer down but then When I re-booted it my custom Icon was gone.
where'd it go? does anybody know?

Oh and is there a way I can create an Install shield that will install my mod into the half-life folder and put the icon on the desktop. This would be good so that people could click on the Icon on the desktop, and see the starting Movies. (If they were to loaded half-life up and chose to "create game" they'd miss the beginning. so yep.)

Shortcut properties: "C:SIERRAHalf-Lifehl.exe -game mymod"

About installers, I've seen Clickteam's installer has been used by several mod teams. Here's information about it and the download:

Yes I know how its done. And I get it done, but when i reboot the icon is gone.

A better installer than Clickteam's (no adverts, far more customisable), is Inno Setup.

"Icon". Shortcut? Icon image?

Icon Image

Here try it yourself-

1. Right click on desktop

-New
-Shortcut

2. Put the same targetname as half-lifes in it and add your mods name

-([Target] -game ____)

3. Now once finished open paint and make a rather small square bitmap

for your icon, once done..

4. Click "Save As" And save it as "example.ico"

5. Now you have created your icon, one last step, Open the shortcut(completed in step 1 and 2) and click change icon, and there you go,

...now, my problem,

try rebooting your computer, you will now notice that your custom icon has taken itself off of your Shortcut, Oh and thanks for the install programs they work great. What I need Is for them to stay like when you left it before rebooting..

That isn't a proper way to make icons. Windows' icon cache is probably causing this. Solution? Either e-mail me the image you want as an icon and I'll send you it back as a properly-formatted icon, or get a program like Icon Forge or Microangelo.

Ya okay, Im at school right now but I'll email it to you tomorrow, thanks alot, yer a great help. I'll put my subject as something commin, Probably just MikesIcon. Just so you know its me.(I usually delete people I don't know, I I thought you would to.) Ok well thanks again.
