Icon support

Postby b1wfdz33 » Thu Oct 27, 2005 7:31 pm

I'm about to start a new project and I was just playing around with the program to make a game for psp. I went to go change the icon when u hover over the hotspot and only allows a few out of the bunch that are availible. I can't even import icons I made. They only show up and allow to import when I make a game for windows. Is there a way to import different icons in "handheld gaming device" mode?

You will have to wait for GM to give you the help as I don't use that part of AM.

You must drop both an ICO file and a PNG file (with the same name). The ICO file is the one that will be used for previewing your game (on Windows), while the PNG file is the one that will actually be used on the PSP.

You must copy them to the Icons folder that is inside your project folder, not the one that is inside the AM folder.
