Adding an icon in Gnome

[madmonk80]

I don't know if it's the right section...sorry...

I'd like to create an icon to launch Nexuiz un my linuxbox, but I have 2 problems:

1) Where can I take the icon???

2) I have to add the parameter -sndstereo to make the sound work..but if I put it in the command of the icon it seems it's not considered when I launch the game...how can I do?

Thanx!

1) Where can I take the icon???

innovati submitted an icon to kdelook.org some time ago: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=27957
I also found an icon on my harddisk, which someone posted at the old forums iirc: http://mensa.ath.cx/~siegl/tmp/nexuiz.png
I don't remember who made it, but i hope it's ok with the artist if i post a link...

2) I have to add the parameter -sndstereo to make the sound work..but if I put it in the command of the icon it seems it's not considered when I launch the game...how can I do?

Hm, strange it should work...
If it doesn't work, open Nexuiz/nexuiz-linux.sh with a text editor and replace

Code: Select all

./nexuiz-linux-686-sdl "${@}"

with

Code: Select all

./nexuiz-linux-686-sdl -sndstereo "${@}"

Thanks for the icons!!

But the -sndstereo doesn't work...even if I edit it in the .sh file...now starting from terminal I don't have to digit it but the shortcut doesn't reconize it even edited in the file!!!

Strange...really...

Any other suggest?

Are you shure you linked that shortcut to the right file?
I see no way how this could still go wrong if you changed that shell script...

Maybe the parameter is sent, but has no effect?

Well, it seem to work on the console so, that doesn't really make sense...

BAM! way to be KadaverJack - that is the official icon yes - there is no better version of it.

Someday either I or somebody specialler than me will make an SVG for all your GNOME people who are into the whole resolution-independat icons (Linux is truly so far more advanced than windows who only got alpha in icons in 2001) w00t!

My work here is done thanks to KadaverJack.

BTW, to run Nexuiz I also had to make a script to CD into the correct dir before executing the engine (else it wouldn't load the game media)- I simply made a shortcut in KDE and it worked fine. Good work all of y'all.

Such a script is included in 1.5. An further improved version will be in 1.5.1
