Code:
battle
    backgrounds
        grasslands
            icon = 'pics/backgrounds/Grassland01.png' //png battle background defined here


Problem description:
I cannot figure out how to get the sprite off the png icon.

If you log out mid battle then you log back in on the battle field. So i went to the login and, since they never lost their inbattle value of one i did...

mob/proc/Relocate()
    if(src.human)
        src.client.edge_limit = null
        src.eye = null
        src.loc = locate(11,21,1)
        return
    if(src.monster)
        src.client.edge_limit = null
        src.eye = null
        src.loc = locate(2,9,1)
        return

added the proc under the login thing
login()
    src.Relocate()


since all battle backgrounds are on the 6th z, i even added a check under the move to see if walking on the picture did anything.

Move()
    if(src.z==6)
        src.inbattle = 0
        src.Relocate()
        src.client.edge_limit = null


yet nothing worked, any ideas?

if the png is bigger than 32px by 32px (i think thats the current icon_state size) then it will have its icon_states built to use


eg
obj
    battle
        backgrounds
           layer = TURF_LAYER
           grasslands
               icon = 'pics/backgrounds/Grassland01.png'
               icon_state = "1,1"
           proc
               display_battle_bg(var/Xsize=0,var/Ysize=0,var/startX=0,var/startY=0,var/startZ=0)
                    var/obj/backgrounds/T = new/obj/backgrounds
                    var/loop = 0
                    var/loop2 = 0
                    while(loop <= Ysize)
                        while(loop2 <= Xsize)
                            T = new/obj/backgrounds
                            T.icon = src.icon
                            T.icon_state = "[loop2+1],[loop+1]"
                            T.loc = locate(startX+loop2,startY+loop,startZ) // if you change this it can also be used to display on the hud
                        loop2 = 0
                        loop++
                     spawn(1) del(src)

then when the battle starts you have to workout what background you want and where its going to be then make it
mob
   proc
      battlebg(var/areatype="",var/X=0,var/Y=0,var/Z=0,var/sizeX=0,var/sizeY=0)
        switch(areatype)
             if("grasslands")
                 var/obj/battle/backgrounds/grasslands/T = new/obj/battle/backgrounds/grasslands
                 T.display_battle_bg(sizeX,sizeY,X,Y,Z)

this is just an example. (everyone else feel free to give a better example)
