Help to modify .exe[SOLVED]

[azekill_DIABLO]

Hi, i'm working on a fork of freeminer and when i start the game (on windows), i always have freeminer at the top of the window!
How can i modify that?

Why would you want to modify the executable? The source code is available, if you know how (or just look online for help), you can fix that problem yourself, and maybe if it works, share the fix/patch with others.

Well, the Freeminer source is in Github, see the Minetest source and see where change the name!

see how works everything and start to work!

(You going to upload the little project to Github?)

You don't modify an exe. You modify the source code, then use that to build a new exe

This is like when you have a complete cake and try to add an egg to its contents. Kinda difficult, eh?

Same situation with a windows executable. You must change it's recipe (= source code) before you bake (= compile) the cake (= executable). The players will use your executable later to play the game.

You can get Freeminer's source code here: https://github.com/freeminer/freeminer

Here's a direct .zip download if you do not have Git installed: https://github.com/freeminer/freeminer/ ... master.zip

However, note that compiling Minetest or Freeminer on Windows is not trivial, and can require hours of fiddling with libraries which all need to be compiled one-by-one.
