It seems that in the login proc, only one person logging in can have a different icon. If there is a way to get multiple ones please tell me!!

you could give them a menu from which to pick there icon
or you could randomly give them one anyways heres some code

----- MENU ------
mob
    Login()
         usr << "welcome to bla bla bla"
         var/icon_me = input("who do you want to be ?") in list("male1","male2","female1","female2")
         usr.icon = '[icon_me].dmi'
         usr.icon_state = "walk"

-------------------
that system uses a new icon for each icon (... need to find a better way of saying that) and then sets the icon and icon_state up

----- random ------
mob
   Login()
        var/icon_me = rand(1,4) // think that give the output 1 or 2 or 3 or 4
        if(icon_me == 1)
                usr.icon = 'male1.dmi'
                usr.icon_state = "walk"
        else if(icon_me == 2)
                usr.icon = 'male2.dmi'
                usr.icon_state = "walk"
        else if(icon_me == 3)
                usr.icon = 'female1.dmi'
                usr.icon_state = "walk"
        else if(icon_me == 4)
                usr.icon = 'female2.dmi'
                usr.icon_state = "walk"
        else
            world << "umm yer help [usr] his icon thinge beep'd up"

----------------------
this system make a random var from 1 to 4 and uses it
to pick the icon and icon state

please note that both of the systems are un tested and off the top of my head.

Please don't use usr in Login(). src works perfectly fine there and is much safer.

Why? Just check to see if you want to let whoever is logging in choose their own icon.
