Extension to change GM portrait

[Wise Orc Tavern]

Ok, thanks a lot Zacchaeus.

Now to the question that makes me feel like an idiot. How do I actually change the icon?

I cant understand the instructions here for some reason.

Could you or anyone else give me a even more step by step guide?

I installed the extension, and now I have the new GM Icon that comes with it. I may be wrong because I can't find where it is, but reading this topic I would guess all I need to do is change the png file for that image, right? But I have no clue where to find it.

Sorry for the apparently dumb question, but I am trying to solve this for a week. Shame on me!

1. Download the file
2. Rename it from GMIcon.ext to GMIcon.zip
3. Right click on the file and select unzip
4. Open the unzipped file then open the Graphics folder and then the portraits folder
5. Replace the gm-icon.png file to the one you want (you must keep the name gm-icon and should keep your image to a similar size and it must be a .png file)
6. Go back up to the first level of the extension (So you see one file extension.xml and the Graphics folder). Select both and then right click and select Send to.. and select compressed
7. After it is zipped back up rename it changing the .zip to .ext.
8. Place that file in your Fantasy Grounds data/extensions folder (Default is C:/users/username/AppData/Roaming/Fantasy Grounds/extensions
9. Open FG and click on Load or Create New and in the list at the bottom window select 'Replace GM Token' and then start the campaign.

Well, I followed the steps, but I can't change back from .zip to .ext

I am using winrar, should I change it? When I rename the extension it continues to be a winrar .zip file named .ext.

I don't know why this is happening.

Don't use winrar. FG only recognises .zip files and only Windows zip files. Also make sure that you have the windows option to show file extensions. If you have that set to hidden then you'll have a file name blah.ext.zip or something similar.

Is there any way to do that if I am using a theme which already has its own icon, I can load this extension and choose the icon that I want?

Use 7zip. Free and better than WinRAR. Then when you zip it up renaming the file type from .zip to .ext will work fine.

Yes, since all themes will have an icon for the DM.

Yes, since all themes will have an icon for the DM.

Could you please help me with that? I can't figure out how to change it yet

The last step does not work for me. Replace GM Token is not an option. Please help!
