So, as I plan to wrap up the DREAM and release the summer versions on all platforms and take a break for a while Id like to include this awesome cursor made by VMBlast.

But how can I do so?

I want it to be a part of a DFMOD, Ive tryed everything but no luck.

What should the name of a cursor file be exactly?

What should I do?

Help!!!

I use a hardware cursor in DFU so that it's decoupled from resolution and frame-rate. Cursor is currently baked into build and not exposed to mod system.

I'm not sure if cursor texture can be changed at runtime, but Cursor.SetCursor() looks about right. I wonder if this is something TheLacus would be interested at looking into further?

I can do it but there are two limitations:
- It requires a specific texture type to be set in editor, so it can't be imported from loose files.
- Default cursor is used inside the main menu because mods are not loaded at that point yet.

Hi, specific texture type settings are not a problem and I plan to use it in a DFMOD anyway.
Default cursor in the main menu is something we need to live with than, not a huge deal tho.
Would be great if this could be done, thank you for considering it Lacus!

An update on this:

- Read/Write flag must be enabled.
- A log warning is produced when cursor is set but the operation is actually succesful. Might be due to this bug, fixed in a later version.
- Given that this is only a specific texture to be loaded passively from an assetbundle, i can actually apply it from SetupGameWizard without waiting for the actual game scene. I don't think there are any particular contraindications.

I'm going to submit a PR.

Awesome thanks a lot, finally the blue 320*200 cursor will be gone, fingers crossed .)
