Synister Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 I know there has got to be a way to change the in-game cursor. I believe there is a post on this already but they were not very descriptive and did not speak very well English I am assuming. If someone could please give me a DETAILED tutorial, it would be greatly appreciated.Thanks- Synister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 [http://www.favicon.cc/](http://www.favicon.cc/)Make an icon here ^. Go into your client, and go to frmMain. Look in your form properties for the property "Icon". Click on it and find your icon that you made in the website above. Do the same with frmLogin.EDIT: Forgot the last thing. Look for the MousePointer property in both frmMain and frmLogin. Change it to 99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Ah. I assumed that was what all Engines use frmLogin as the name of the login form. My apologies.Basically, just go to the form that you want the custom cursor to be use on, set the icon in properties, and make it a custom one (99).

Dr.House Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Lol useless, just convert the .ico or .cur file to 24 bits not 32bits >.> i can easily do that with Junior Icon Editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stein Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Render, that is a terrible way to do it. Why on earth are you replacing WINDOWS components with your own? Just write a method to render an image as a cursor. Problem solved. Replacing the actual cursor in windows will only work locally on your local machine, anyone else would need to do the same stupid thing, potentionally breaking their pointer in other programs.Think before you act and suggest please.
