Does anyone know how to use a custom icon? Everytime I try it says that it can't be viewed. I've tried 16x16 size icons, 32x32 icons, 256 colour icons, 16 colour icons and I add the extension .ico. Please Help!!

Icon support is shady if you're using Windows XP or even 98, It used to work with me, then it didn't, then I had to put colours at 256, etc... Best not worry too much about it if it doesn't work for you...

Hmm, I'm running WinXP and it works for me, and i've done it on win98 as well.

Could you post the Icon you want in BMP format for me? I'll see if I can get it too work for you.

Hmm, I can't seem to get it to work either. I'm thinking that certain software that makes ico files saves it diffently so CoTw can't read it with modern technogly. Maybe if you tried an old icon maker it might work.

Edit: I Tried Some other icon files as well and it seems you can't import Icons for some reason, I'm going to look for a way around this.

Alright I Got your Icon to work with CoTw. But you need to get two files.
Backup Your Castle1.exe and Castle2.exe and replace them with these new exe's. They contain your sprite but CoTw complained and said that it would only support 16 colors. Now I'm off to right an FAQ About icon files for CoTw.
