How to create res files to be used in 7tsp packs

Hi Everyone :)

Just got asked how you make res files to make your own 7tsp packs so here is a simple tut on how you do them :)


First mod up the dll you want to make a res file from do all your icons pics, uifiles whatever it is you want to edit in the dll.

Then open up the dll in restorator like so

now just scroll down in the menu to res files and save

Attachment 48997

after u click save a new window opens

just put a check in save resources in one file

and save only modified resources like so

now click save and it will create the res file of your dll with your modified resources :)

Please, i need help with this.
after I changed the icons in one. dll file I want to make
res file, I can't mark another option "save only modified resources."
Obviously I'm doing something wrong.
And secondly, whether the file should be, for example, shell32.res or shell32.dll.res

Hi Bud :)

Ok it looks like u have the extract only modded resources there checked its highlighted in blue if not for some reason with the one file u can always open up the res file in restorator after its made and just delete the folders in that res file you dont want that dont have modded resources. Even in the resource folders you want to keep say like the icon folder your able to go inside it and right click on individual ones and just delete them if you like.

As for the name where you need dll or exe or cpl on the file before the res so its shell32.dll.res in that top box in that window where it says save to one file at the end you need to add in the extention .dll before the .res yourself thats not something restorator does automatically so you need to add in the .exe .cpl or .dll before you save it or even after you save it just rename the file adding in the extention :)

Thank you for your response razor. I know where I'm wrong.
I do 7tsp icon pack for Win8. I hope that this is the same as for a win7?
