While this probably isn't a BYOND bug (sounds like a code problem), and this will probably get moved or deleted, I'll say what I suspect this is:

Have you put anything in Login()? If you've changed Login(), but didn't add a ..() at the end, it will not place your mob on the map (and thus, you won't see it)

mob/Login()
 ..() // Do the normal, this is VERY important, else you'd overwrite the whole Login() proc.
 src.loc=locate(1,1,1) // Place him on the map..

Maybe you're missing an icon_state somewhere? I remember when I first started out, I missed one and I ended up on a black screen. If you're going by the tutorial for RPGs, zihals i think, then you're prolly missing the icon_state = gender at login. That's just what I remember from when I was a noob. That messed me up back then.

Be sure you don't have another mob/Login() or mob/New() without ..() in it.

Maybe you didn't check the little box next to the map file? :P

You don't need both ..() and src.loc=locate(1,1,1), as that is a bit redundant. One or the other will do.

In mob/Login, all ..() does is to locate the mob on the map and set client.statobj to src.
mob/Login()
    if(!loc)
        find_open_turf:
            for(var/indexz = 1 to world.maxz)
                for(var/indexy = 1 to world.maxy)
                    for(var/indexx = 1 to world.maxx)
                        if(Move(locate(indexx, indexy, indexz)))
                            break find_open_turf
    client.statobj = src

That is the default Login function. As you can see, if you are giving the mob a location manually, especially if you are doing it after you call ..(), you are only creating extra work that could be avoided. In that case, you can use the line client.statobj=src instead of ..() in your Login.

I know that, really ;). Though, he might've covered his map with densed objects by mistake.
