« on: September 20, 2007, 10:25:03 pm »

is there any way that i could make a copy of the game on a CD-ROM? like, with an installer, so that i can give the game to one of my friends with out internet access. on a disk, and i don't have to tell them where to move any files, they just have to put in the disk and the installer auto-runs.

Quote from: The Ultronomicon entry I linked
Download uqm-0.6.2-win32-installer.exe, uqm-0.6.2-content.uqm, and optionally uqm-0.6.2-voice.uqm and uqm-0.6.2-3domusic.uqm from http://sc2.sourceforge.net/downloads.php on a machine where you do have an internet connection, and place them into any folder or burn them to a CD/DVD-ROM. Then, on the machine where you want to install the game, start uqm-0.6.2-win32-installer.exe. Do not select any content packages you haven't downloaded, and when the installer asks where to get the packages from, select the place you put the aforementioned files. In this way, the installer won't try to download any files from the Internet. In this way, the installer won't try to download any files from the Internet.

Actually, I should apologise for being unnecessarily terse; considering that the only visual cue with the board's normal visual style is that the comma is white instead of yellow, I'm not surprised you didn't notice.

That said, reading the UQM FAQ would have answered most of your question directly.

The UQM icons are in the src/res directory. The default icon is ur-quan-icon-alpha.ico.
