Game Icon/Logo problem...

[PeeterCZ]

Hello, i am starting with devkitpro because i want to create my own homebrew applications or games.
I started with a simpler application - color mixer which is controlled with buttons (L/R for red, Left/Right for green and Y/B for blue).
I wanted to add an icon for my project so i pasted this line into my Makefile

Code: Select all

ICON 	:= -b $(CURDIR)/../logo.bmp

However, it seems that the icon (though it is in the root dir of project - next to makefile) isn't added to the NDS file. The icon is 32x32 pixels 16 color BMP i created in Paint.
I don't know if it matters, but here is the source code:

Code: Select all

#include <nds.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	int i;
	int r;
	int g;
	int b;
	r = 0;
	g = 0;
	b = 0;
	irqInit();
	irqEnable(IRQ_VBLANK);
 consoleDemoInit();
	videoSetMode(MODE_FB0);
	vramSetBankA(VRAM_A_LCD);
	 	lcdMainOnBottom();
 
	while(1)
	{
	 consoleClear();
	iprintf("RGB: %i,%i,%i\n", r, g, b);
	printf("Michatko vytvoril\nPeeter dne 13.4. 2009");
    scanKeys();
		int held = keysHeld();
 
		if(held & KEY_R)
			if(r < 31) r++;
		if(held & KEY_L)
			if(r > 0) r--;
		if(held & KEY_RIGHT)
			if(g < 31) g++;
    if(held & KEY_LEFT)
			if(g > 0) g--;
		if(held & KEY_A)
			if(b < 31) b++;
    if(held & KEY_Y)
			if(b > 0) b--;

		swiWaitForVBlank();
		for(i = 0; i < 256*192; i++)
      VRAM_A[i] = RGB15(r,g,b);
	}
	return 0;
}

And this is my makefile (i grabbed it from one of the examples and added the ICON line)

Code: Select all

And finally, this is the icon i use:


Sorry for the long post, but i really don't know what am i doing wrong, the icon just won't show up on my DSTT (icons of other homebrew games are completely okay)

Building off of examples from the current libnds I've been using GAME_ICON to specify the logo's location.

[PeeterCZ]

It still doesn't work Tried putting it in various places, copying the icon to all possible folders but it looks like it just ignores that line

[eKid]

Here add this to your makefile underneath "export LIBPATHS := $(foreach dir,$(LIBDIRS),-L$(dir)/lib)"

Code: Select all

icons = $(wildcard *.bmp)

ifneq (,$(findstring $(TARGET).bmp,$(icons)))
	export GAME_ICON := $(CURDIR)/$(TARGET).bmp
else
	ifneq (,$(findstring icon.bmp,$(icons)))
		export GAME_ICON := $(CURDIR)/icon.bmp
	endif
endif

call your bmp file "icon.bmp", and try again!

nice icon btw

[PeeterCZ]

Seriously, f**k this, still doesn't work, jeez. I am getting really sad right now .Why is this happening?

EDIT: In the console after i typed make, nothing like icon.bmp showed up (and i think it should)

Code: Select all

Skicak (Skicák) is in czech language something like sketchbook

NOTE to Admins... I'm not suggesting modifying anything here...

Open up your ds_rules file in your devkitarm directory.

How does the line that calls ndstool read?

[PeeterCZ]

I wasn't sure what to exactly post so here is complete ds_rules

Code: Select all

ifeq ($(strip $(DEVKITPRO)),)
$(error "Please set DEVKITPRO in your environment. export DEVKITPRO=<path to>devkitPro)
endif

include $(DEVKITARM)/base_rules

LIBNDS	:=	$(DEVKITPRO)/libnds

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	@dsbuild $<
	@echo built ... $(notdir $@)

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%.nds: %.arm9
	@ndstool -c $@ -9 $<
	@echo built ... $(notdir $@)

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%.arm9: %.elf
	@$(OBJCOPY) -O binary $< $@
	@echo built ... $(notdir $@)
 
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%.arm7: %.elf
	@$(OBJCOPY) -O binary $< $@
	@echo built ... $(notdir $@)

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[PeeterCZ]

Solved the problem... you wouldn't believe me, it helped when i swapped the makefile for the one from palib (i needed to use palib libraries) Yay i am so happy right now

[WinterMute]

It's highly recommended that you *don't* use PAlib - in fact your problem here was actually caused by using PAlib in the first place.

The current ds_rules file looks like this :-

Code: Select all

ifeq ($(strip $(DEVKITPRO)),)
$(error "Please set DEVKITPRO in your environment. export DEVKITPRO=<path to>devkitPro)
endif

include $(DEVKITARM)/base_rules

LIBNDS	:=	$(DEVKITPRO)/libnds

ifeq ($(strip $(GAME_TITLE)),)
GAME_TITLE	:=	$(notdir $(OUTPUT))
endif

ifeq ($(strip $(GAME_SUBTITLE1)),)
GAME_SUBTITLE1	:=	www.devkitpro.org
endif

ifeq ($(strip $(GAME_SUBTITLE2)),)
GAME_SUBTITLE2	:=	www.drunkencoders.com
endif

ifeq ($(strip $(GAME_ICON)),)
GAME_ICON      :=      $(DEVKITPRO)/libnds/icon.bmp
endif

ifneq ($(strip $(NITRO_FILES)),)
_ADDFILES	:=	-d $(NITRO_FILES)
endif

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%.nds: %.arm9
	@echo $(_ADDFILES)
	ndstool -c $@ -9 $< -b $(GAME_ICON) "$(GAME_TITLE);$(GAME_SUBTITLE1);$(GAME_SUBTITLE2)" $(_ADDFILES)
	@echo built ... $(notdir $@)

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%.arm9: %.elf
	@$(OBJCOPY) -O binary $< $@
	@echo built ... $(notdir $@)
 
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%.arm7: %.elf
	@$(OBJCOPY) -O binary $< $@
	@echo built ... $(notdir $@)

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
