It is now a year since I first posted these tutorials on PC, and in accommodation to that, I have brought these tutorials back. I plan on writing a third one soon, explaining how to insert your own icon.
How to edit RPG_RT.exe with Resource Hacker
Before we begin, you'll need to download Resource Hacker.
It is a utility that is used to view, modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource files.
What is also worth mentioning is that the program is freeware and therefor you do not need to pay anything to download it.
You can get it at https://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/
Lesson 1 - Enterbrain Logo
Step 1 - Exporting Logo:
So we've all seen that the splash screen when loading RPG_RT.exe says Enterbrain. What if we'd want to edit it? Well first we'll have to export it. In the following steps I'll teach you how to export it and importing it again.
First open Resource Hacker
Next load up your RPG_RT.exe, (do not worry if you screw up the file while trying to replace something, ResHacker always makes a backup called filename_original.exe, in this case RPG_RT_original.exe) you'll see a selection of folders, so open up the one called XYZ and the LOGO1 inside of it, select the file called 0 and click the action tab and then click Save resource as a binary file ...
Save it as an XYZ image, (preferably in your RM2k/3 project folder)
Afterwards open up RPG2000/2003.exe and import it as a PNG image. Now open it up in the program you use for your graphical work, like Photoshop or Paintshop Pro. Open it up and make your own logo.
Step 2 - Importing Logo:
Before inserting it, we'll have to import it in RPG2000/2003.exe as an XYZ image, so do that first.
After you've done that it's time to import it.
First you will need to delete the other XYZ logo, so right click it and press Delete Resource [XYZ : LOGO1 : 0]
After you've done that you will need to insert your own, so click the action tab and click Add a new resource ...
A window will pop up, click Open file with new resource ... and find your XYZ image, then open it. A few options will popup, such as Resource Type, Resource Name, and Resource Language.
Type in the following and click add resource when you're done.
Resource Type: XYZ
Resource Name: LOGO1
Resource Language: Leave it empty
It should end up looking like this:
Congratulations, you've now succesfully replaced the Enterbrain logo.
