I don't know where this really goes but,What causes the black screen when you log in?Like when i log in my whole map is all black.What causes them?Several Login()?

Edit:Move my topic to Code problems plz.

I'll show you my login code.Not veyr long or nothing just simple.

mob/Login()
    speeding = 1
    ChooseChar()
    src.loc=locate(1,1,1)
    speeding = 0
    ..()

world
    name = "High Velocity Paintball."
    view = 9
    tick_lag = 2

mob
    proc
        ChooseChar()
            switch(alert("What color would you like to be?",,"Blue","Green","Quit"))
                if("Blue")
                    src << "You have chosen blue,"
                    icon='Mob.dmi'
                    icon_state="1"
                if("Green")
                    src << "You have chosen green,"
                    icon='Mob.dmi'
                    icon_state="2"
                if("Quit")
                    del src

If the mob isn't placed on the map, then you won't see the map!

Can you explain a bit more?How is it not placed?In the Login() it has the choosechar() run first after that proc is done it places them 1,1,1

Edit:Ok it was working when i had all the icons in 1 single .dmi file.I move all the stores to a Stores.dmi and the Chars to Mob.dmi now it's showing the map black.

Probably because you need to switch their icons?

You're abusing usr! Remember, by default, alert() takes usr as its argument. Read the usr lecture!
