I'm currently trying to scale an icon after uploading it, but for some reason it isn't working... I used to do something simillar in the past, and it worked, so I wondered where's the error.

mob/proc
    Upload_Icon(F as icon)
        Icons.Add(F) // this is is for a var list which includes some mob's icons.
        var/icon/S = new/icon (F) // this is for creating a new icon using the previous file (I do this so I can have a thumbnail)
        S.Scale(96, 96)
        Thumbnails.Add(S)


For some reason when I try to display S I get nothing, I don't really know where's the error because I've tried some other ways, but none worked. F is showed correctly, but I never get it to work with S, any idea? :S

Thank you!

Try adding fcopy_rsc(S) instead of S.

Using fcopy_rsc on S would return the S graphic in an equivalent format as F, so it should probably work.

Like this? var/icon/S = fcopy_rsc(F)

If so, it didn't work either :S I tried before but the icon wasn't shown either, and Scale gives me then an error. I can't understand where's the problem. I do the same on a different game, but I don't save it to a var, I download the scaled image and everything works well, I have no idea why it isn't working now. Adding an icon to a list can bug the whole proc?

Try the same image passed to F on the other game to see if an error occurs. Or try lots of different DMI files from different time periods. Some DMI files are little problem children.

When I said adding, I actually meant for inside Add().
Thumbnails.Add(fcopy_rsc(S))
