I know this may sound simple to you guys but I’ve just started learning byond and doing tutorial and I come up with a problem.

'Figure 1.2: The Amazing Mapper' and doing this turf stuff and It says I should see all the icons on the left after I've done instructions 1-4 but all I see is the player.dmi and a grey square saying turf. I've included what I wrote.

turf
floor
icon='floor.dmi'
wall
icon = 'wall.dmi'
density = 1


mob
icon='player.dmi'

Click the + next to the grey turf icon.

thank you sorry I am so noobish at this hopefully I will get better :)
sorry one more question I am doing the start area now and I have put the start area on the map and it still won't work heres my code.
turf
floor
icon='floor.dmi'
wall
icon = 'wall.dmi'
density = 1
start
icon='start.dmi'


mob
icon='player.dmi'
Login()
loc = locate(/turf/start)

Use DM tags.

There should be nothing wrong with that. Try src.loc = locate(/turf/start)
Check your indentation
Make sure that there is a start turf somewhere on a map
still doesn't work:(
In response to Kirkland
src.loc = locate(1,1,1)

if that's all of his code, he's missing the player mob's icon_state.

mob
icon='player.dmi'
icon_state="player"
Login()
loc = locate(/turf/start)
In response to Steelhouse
If the icon has only one icon state in it, named "", then that will work fine.

And his problem is that the icons don't exist... I think. I'm still half asleep. If it is giving you something like "'wall.dmi' cannot find file" or something similiar, go to File / new / icon file, name : "wall.dmi".

You see it compiles and when I run it I just don't see the map.
finally got it working I re did everything and it seemed to work
