The "Loadmodule" command is found in "IconLib_46.4.lha" or on Aminet and you have to copy it to C, NewIcons is not necessary

on Scalos it seems not worki.

Perhaps it's needed to use resident comment.

What Os are you using ClassicWB ?

No, icon.library won't work on Scalos. Scalos uses its own iconobject.library and an iconobject datatype system.

The only system where that works together is ClassicWB v27/28. But you cannot simply update these old releases of ClassicWB.

Huh ?
I use your icon library on ClassicWB 3.1 Full (Scalos)

not working for me

can you post your startup-sequence?

[Retroplay]

Sure.
I use a custom kickstart with icon library (and patched scsi device, hence the commented out scsi device)
All I've done is comment out all NewIcon related from s-s, been using this setup for years now, works a treat.

All post here moved from the How to have game icons with WHDLoad ?! thread as you guys were getting way off topic and probably confusing poor Sebiohazard...

Just because you have this version of Icon.library loaded doesn't mean Scalos is using it to render icons.

I replaced icon.libray in Libs:

I have never used SCALOS before, how to launch the SCOUT tool to verify that the new library (46.4) is loaded.

Look at the screenshots.

The same icons (BarFly, Dragon Ninja for example), are displayed differently on WB39 and SCALOS

[CFou!]

there are problem not good version (found in 46.4 archive)

icon 46.4 is in libs:

But 40.1 is resident

Attaced my startup-sequence too

ClassicWB v27/28 with Scalos 1.2d was indeed working with an old version of my icon.library.

But you have to enable the support for icon.library or other icons somewhere in the Scalos menu. Sorry, I don't remember where exactly.

When you start to change or update these old ClassicWB systems then the original configuration from Bloodwych may not work anymore.

On ClassicWB you can not simply replace the icon.library in Libs:, because Bloodwych uses his scripts to enable or disable features like icon.library support.

Yes, if you try to replace it with a "new" one by Peter or another icon.library the WHDLoad icons you will not be able to see them correctly anymore, or you will not be able to see the Dual-PNG, OS4 etc. icons well.

After changing the library "Exit WinUAE" and restart otherwise the old library remains in memory.

I would like to add that with ClassicWB "Lite" the WHDLoad icons can be seen well also with the icon.library v 40.1

Yes for this reason I have attached icon.library v46.4.28

No Carlo, the NewIcons are not displayed by icon.library 40.1 ! They are either loaded by the NewIcons patch or displayed by the newiconobject.datatype and iconobject.library of Scalos.

[Retroplay]

I'm confused, as stated in my reply #5, I use your latest 46.4.520 (020) in ClassicWB Full v28.

All I've done is:

• Made a custom 3.1 A1200 rom with old icon library replaced with yours
  (Excellent guide by mfilos)
• Commented out everything icon library and NewIcon related from startup-sequence

I've used this setup on my real A1200+ACA1232 setup softkicked by ACATune as well, never had a single problem.

So in reality it shouldn't work, but still it does for me

Yes Peter I meant, in fact you can not see well other types of icons!
