limber prairie hi i have problem with export my game

So that is only a warning, does it still output a build for you?

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 10:23 AM

#

no

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 10:23 AM

#

Otherwise there's a document for setting up the icon for windows build: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/export/changing_application_icon_for_windows.html

Godot Engine documentation

Changing application icon for Windows

By default, the exported project's icon will be the Godot icon. You will most likely want to change that for your project. There are two types of icons that can be changed on Windows: the file icon...

It isn't in engish, what is a Plik?

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 10:25 AM

#

#

For windows

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 10:26 AM

#

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 10:26 AM

#

The whole settings

#

Please don't take small snippets

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 10:27 AM

#

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 10:27 AM

#

Yep, so not from that menu

#

Project > Export

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 10:29 AM

#

Alright, so could you please take a screenshot of the whole screen

#

I am still missing some info

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 10:29 AM

#

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 10:31 AM

#

And what Godot version is this?

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 10:31 AM

#

4.3

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 10:32 AM

#

curious, it is working for me ...

#

lemme try something else

#

You are not getting any errors in the Output tab?

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 10:34 AM

#

before, I had problems with exporting projects at all, but I turned off safe save

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 10:35 AM

#

hmm so the difference is I have "rcedit" in the path environment variable

#

So I don't have anything set in Godot that points to rcedit

#

ooooh!

#

This could be the problem

#

That is an invalid file path character

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 10:38 AM

#

🤦🏻‍♂️

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 10:38 AM

#

Though I get a bunch of errors when trying to save that

#

But change it and see

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 10:39 AM

#

oh, i still have error

#

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 10:40 AM

#

Alright, so what if you were to put that exe somewhere else

#

Actually first, does it output an exe this time at least?

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 10:41 AM

#

yes\

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 10:42 AM

#

Alright, that is some progress

#

So for me, I have made a folder in windows called "tools" and I stored "rcedit.exe" there (no -x64)

#

I added the absolute path to that "tools" folder onto the windows environment variable "path"

#

I do not have that path filled in for Godot's editor settings

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 10:47 AM

#

vale fog So for me, I have made a folder in windows called "tools" and I stored "rcedit.e...

I did the same but I still have an error

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 10:47 AM

#

The same error?

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 10:49 AM

#

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 10:58 AM

#

hmmm if you open up cmd, typing in rcedit and press enter, what version does it print out?

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 10:59 AM

#

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 10:59 AM

#

Where did you put the rcedit?

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 11:00 AM

#

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 11:00 AM

#

oooh no sorry, don't put it in the windows folder

#

I just mean in "Windows Explorer"

#

So probably for you C:\tools

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 11:02 AM

#

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 11:02 AM

#

have you updated your environment variables?

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 11:03 AM

#

how should I do this?

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 11:03 AM

#

in windows search for "env"

#

Then go to here

#

The rest would be considered private so please do not share

#

But from there, under user variables for your user ...

#

There might already be a "Path" entry there

#

If not, make one

#

Then edit, then add the directory C:\tools

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 11:07 AM

#

still not working

#

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 11:07 AM

#

Did you rename it to that?

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 11:08 AM

#

no

#

i go to path

#

and i add directory

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 11:08 AM

#

limber prairie

This file, did you rename it to rcedit?

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 11:09 AM

#

vale fog So for me, I have made a folder in windows called "tools" and I stored "rcedit.e...

I did mention it up here

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 11:09 AM

#

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 11:09 AM

#

But didn't notice it not changed in the picture

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 11:09 AM

#

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 11:09 AM

#

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 11:11 AM

#

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 11:11 AM

#

vale fog I do not have that path filled in for Godot's editor settings

And you updated the editor settings here?

#

Made sure it is empty?

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 11:13 AM

#

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 11:13 AM

#

limber prairie Nov 16, 2024, 11:20 AM

#

thanks for trying to help me

vale fog Nov 16, 2024, 11:20 AM

#

I cannot find anything else, very sorry I was not able to solve it

#

I have seen things related to rcedit issues in other tech, they mention it could sometimes be an antivirus issue, though I don't recall ever needing to deal with it: https://github.com/electron/packager/issues/590

limber prairie Nov 17, 2024, 9:16 AM
