===================================================================== ICY TOWER CUSTOM CHARACTERS ===================================================================== HOW TO ADD A FINISHED DOWNLOADED CHARACTER You have downloaded a custom character off the internet and want to get it into the game. Here's a simple step by step guide. In this guide I will install a character called joe_the_doe. It could be any character. Feel free to replace the name with the one you're about to install. 1 Most characters are compressed into archives. Take a look if the file is a ZIP or a RAR archive. If it's a ZIP, use WinZIP (www.winzip.com) or windows built in extractor (if you have XP). If it's a RAR, use WinRar (www.rarlab.com). Once extracted you will have a folder named after the character you're about to add to the game (joe_the_doe) 2 Locate and open the folder where you installed Icy Tower. The default location for this is C:\games\icytower1.2\ . To open this folder, open up Windows Explorer and click your way to the folder manually or type the location in the address field. 3 Inside the icytower1.2 folder is another folder called "characters". Open it. 4 Now, simply move the extracted folder from step 1 into the characters-folder. To move/copy a folder you can either just drag'n'drop the folder's icon into the characters folder, or you can use your favourite keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+c and ctrl+v). 5 If the copying went ok, your folder tree should look like this: icytower1.2/ characters/ harold_the_homeboy/ files... disco_dave/ files... joe_the_doe/ files... 6 Hopefully, you've managed to copy the files correctly and the new character can be selected under GAME OPTIONS in the game. That's it! If you still having problems with your characters, tune in to the Free Lunch Design forum (http://www.freelunchdesign.com) and ask your questions. Welcome!
