I finally and did the tutorial.. but one thing i Didn't get was, How do I put in characters? IE a person I Can move around inside the game to show the work i do and to test things? So far the DM Guide hasn't showed me.

I did read it, and it didn't "Directly" tell me how to put icons in, and sprites as characters. If you could tell me how that would be great, seeing as how I already got sprites that I can use, just don't know how to put them in.

Also, my map is messed up. The DM guide said to edit the map, then press "Run" and you could see an area and yourself walk around but how can you see yourself walk around if there isn't anyone in the game.

Actually, it did.

Setting the players icon:
http://developer.byond.com/docs/guide/ chap01.html#HelloInterlude
mob
   icon = 'player.dmi'


Placing them in a specific area upon login:
http://developer.byond.com/docs/guide/ chap01.html#MazeInterlude
turf
   floor
      icon = 'floor.dmi'
   start
      icon = 'start.dmi'
   wall
      icon = 'wall.dmi'
      density = 1
mob
   icon = 'player.dmi'
   Login()
      loc = locate(/turf/start)


Chapter 3 expands on this, explaining how to set up mobs for specific keys. After you read the whole guide, you should know enough to be able to figure out how to make a basic login system with custom mob assignments.


Also, I advise you go over a tutorial with the guide. The guide is great, and the tutorials are great, but together they are awesome. I'd start with Zilal's Beginner Tutorial, it covers a lot of the basics that newbie developers want to know.
