Title: [doom3.gpl] Change name of Doom3.exe
Post by: kat on July 08, 2016, 06:50:03 PM


The preferable way to change the name of the *.exe produced by compiling doom3.gpl is to modify the compiler output so it writes the name(space) correctly - changing the program executable or shortcut is possible but not the correct approach to use, neither is renaming any part of the project Visual Studio's Solution Explorer (in relation to naming the *.exe this does nothing, it only changes the name of the Solution project).
