Some games don't have icons

Heula · 04 January 2008, 18:15

I downloaded Sensible World Of Soccer 96/97 and placed it in my games map. When I open the gamedrawer there is nothing. No icon I can select to play. I wonder why and how to solve it?

This is with a lot of sensible versions

Well, there should be at least something... Try the View By Name option. The icon is probably NewIcons style, so you'd need that to see it properly.

Are you using ClassicWB?

ok and how can I get those new icons visable?

turrican3 · 04 January 2008, 20:32

did you install newicons library ?
look if you have it.
If not perhaps you should install it
I hope this is the good solution because it is really far away in my memory !
Your version of workbench is 3.1 ?

He already has newicons installed, it's part of ClassicWB.

I have a feeling this error is caused by a certain version of dopus/classicwb but I've yet to confirm which.

I just installed newicons but still no icons.
Also updated all icons with http://www.exotica.org.uk/frames.html but there were no icons available for sensible soccer. Any idea what I can try next?

But you didn't tell us, do you have dopus magellan ?

I did a Classic WB install and all I needed was the WB3.1 disks. After the install I had all I needed like dopus 1 and lots more. It's all standard Classic WB.

Do I need Dopus magellan?

For displaying newicons no.

Which version? If it's the LITE or GAAE, you need to enable them manually via the settings menu as they are disabled by default to save memory on low end systems.

Read the FAQ:

which points to this post:

I'm not sure if they will work now however, if you've been installing stuff over the default setup.

turrican3 · 04 January 2008, 22:57

sorry but it makes a too long time that i didn't used wb3.1, i can't help you more

I have downloaded and installed this UAE version http://classicwb.abime.net/classicwe...loadp96uae.htm
Don't know if it's enabled by default in this version.
Used config = A4000power

The game drawer is completely empty, not even a dot.

Bloodwych · 04 January 2008, 23:32

Going by your other thread about "grey drawers", I thought you might of been using the LITE.

The UAE version has NewIcons by default, so if you download KG's packs they will all have newicons visable:

http://guildserver.co.uk/kgwhd/

If you've got games from somewhere else, then they may have glowicons which require OS3.5+. Normally, you can see a dot in place of the normal glowicon if that's the case. Switch the view to text view or use dopus to see if a game .info file exists in the drawer.

I can't really add anymore info to that link I provided above, which gives you details of types of icons and solutions to making your own.

Bloodwych · 04 January 2008, 23:47

Ok, I just tried that pack you posted in your opening post and it shows the game icon fine, as it's one of KGs (see below).

I found out what the problem is! There is a file GALAHAD.ROOT in de drawer and I'm not sure if it belongs there? I moved it to the data folder and after doing that the icons were visable. All games are KG's packs.

Where should the GALAHAD.ROOT file be placed or can it just be removed?

hello,

i have downloaded unreal and ghoulsnghosts from your new packs. used ClassicWB_ADV as workbench so i have opend this folders put there seems to be no game icon in side by unreal i only see disk 1 - 3, and by ghoulsnghosts there is no icon at all only after pushing view all files i can see some icons but no game icon.

Heula · 06 January 2008, 20:31

Still having a problem with some games not showing an icon! In Classic Workbench config.

There are a few and one of them is turbo outrun. When I open the drawer it's empty. When I select all files there are some disks and a readme and the slave file. No info file there but when I open the same drawer in Dopus the info file is present. So it should show up.
When I select all files by text the info file is visible. When I take a look at the info there is no default tool and Tool types only says Newicon by Phil Vedovatti.

The strange part is when I run my standard WB3.1 config the same drawer gives me a dot which I can click on to run the game and there it is visible and working.

I think that is odd but who am I? I'm just a newbie learning.
Who can help me out here?
My games are KG packs.

EDit: Just checked on my Amigasys 3 plus config and there is the icon also visible so maybe It must be some setting in the Classic Workbench what causes it?
