Making an icon for your mod
For the icon of your mod there are two places it can be displayed: In your steam library and on your desktop. (right)
To make your icon you will need either
Making the Steam Library Icon
- The first thing you need to do is make a sqaure 256px image.
- Next create your icon. (try copying the example as a placeholder)
- Copy the image, and size it down to 32px
- Ctrl+S to Save the 32px image as a tga in "\steamapps\sourcemods\MODNAME\resource" as "icon.tga"
Next open your gameinfo.txt located in "sourcemods\MODNAME" It should look something like this:
"GameInfo"
{
game "My First HL2MP Mod"
title "HALF+LIFE'"
title2 "deathmatch mod"
type multiplayer_only
nomodels 0
nohimodel 1
nocrosshair 1
Add this underneath
"developer" "YOURNAME"
"developer_url" "YOURWEBSITE"
"icon" "resource\icon"
Ctrl+S to save, and now restart steam and your icon should appear in the library
Breakdown
- developer is the name of you or your company's name
- developer_url is the you or your company's website, this is optional and if not entered will be replaced with developer
- icon tells Steam where the icon can be found; In this case, in the resource folder: resource\game It should default to looking for icon.tga
Making the hl2.exe Icon
Note: You may need to restart your computer to be able to make the icon visible on your desktop- Take your 256px icon and save it as an interlaced .png
- Find a .ico converting website and make convert the .png to .ico
- Download and save the .ico in "\steamapps\sourcemods\MODNAME\resource" as "game.ico"
Now you can 
the mod in your steam library and create a desktop shortcut
