Setting and icon to 100x100 programatically

I wasn't sure what to search for to find an answer for this. I'm setting an icon of an object, during run time, to an icon that is 100x100 but it's stretching the icon to 32x32. How can I get it to keep the size 100x100?

You might want to use the Scale() proc if that works here.
Format: Scale(width, height).

I have been using the scale function. I use scale to make an icon 100x100(There is a BYOND bug causing it to go 128x128) then I draw on it and set an icon to it. Here is a code snippet with notes:

//world maxx and maxy are 100
mob/proc/Generate_Mini_Map()
    Get_Files()//Ignore this line
    var/icon/emtpy_icon = new
    emtpy_icon.Scale(world.maxx, world.maxy)
    for(var/z = 1 to world.maxz)
        var/icon/i = new('blank.dmi')//Has a blank icon_state in the file which is 1x1 in size
        i.Scale(world.maxx, world.maxy)
        world<<i.Width()//Says 100 but when I save the icon it saves it as 128
        for(var/x = 1 to world.maxx)
            for(var/y = 1 to world.maxy)
                var/turf/t = locate(x, y, z)
                i.DrawBox(MiniMapColors["[t.icon]"][t.icon_state], x, y)//Draws a pixel with the most common color of the turf in location t at x,y on the new icon
                for(var/obj/o in t)
                    i.DrawBox(MiniMapColors["[o.icon]"][o.icon_state], x, y)//Draws a pixel with the most common color of the obj in location t at x,y on the new icon
        world<<"Minimap([z]): \icon[i]"//For Testing purposes
        src.icon = i//For Testing purposes, Sets the player's icon to the new 100x100 icon but the icon has been stretched to 32x32 which is whatI  don't want
        emtpy_icon.Insert(i, "zlevel[z]")
        var/obj/minimap = new
        minimap.loc = locate(1,1,1)
        minimap.icon = i//For Testing purposes, Sets the objs's icon to the new 100x100 icon but the icon has been stretched to 32x32 which is whatI  don't want
        client.screen += minimap//Makes the objects added to the screen look like a blown up blurry version of a 32x32 icon rather than a 100x100 icon
        minimap.screen_loc = "map2:1,1"
        //for(var/y in icon_states(emtpy_icon))
        //  world<<"Empty Icon: [y]"
        //SaveMiniMap(_z)
        src << ftp(emtpy_icon,"MiniMapsTest.dmi")//Allows you to save the newly created icon. The saved icon is 128x128 when it should be 100x100


The icon saves just fine except that the picture of the 100x100 map is drawn on an icon that is 128x128. The numbers continue to screw up if I scale the icon to a different size. They seem to only screw up to multiples of 32 or at least in the tests I've run.

It sounds like you have world.map_format set to TILED_ICON_MAP.
When the map is set to that format, the game automatically breaks icons into chunks of world.icon_size. (It also makes a small thumbnail to fit the icon_size as well.)
It's worth giving this a read.

Thanks, that was the problem. I didn't realize that was screwing everything up.
