So.. Im trying to figure out how to display png files on the browser.. I tried this but it didnt work
mob
    Login()//when you log in
        usr << browse_rsc('brush.PNG', "brush.PNG")
        usr<<browse(Html_icons())
mob/proc/Html_icons()
    return \
    {"<html><b><center><body bgcolor = #330066><font color = white>
    <center><img usr="brush.PNG"></center>"}
    return

Any suggestions on how to fix this? And if so..is it possible to display Dmi files on the browser..or defined turfs,obj,mobs?
*edit*
Also is their a way to make the icon a button.. that will give the certain /atom the picture represents a variable.

Change every instance of "usr" in that code snippet to "src", especially within the img tag in your HTML. There is no usr attribute in HTML. I also recommend you read usr Unfriendly on BYONDscape.


And if so..is it possible to display Dmi files on the browser..or defined turfs,obj,mobs?

Send the dmis to the client through browse_rsc. You should probably be sure to name it as a png file.
turf/tree
    icon = 'tree.dmi'
    desc = "A tree."
    verb/look()
        set src in view()
        /* note that usr belongs here, because this is a
           verb and we want to send output to the person
           that uses the verb. */
        usr << browse_rsc(icon, "tree.png")
        usr << browse("<img src='tree.png'>[desc]")


Also is their a way to make the icon a button.. that will give the certain /atom the picture represents a variable.

You will want to look up the Topic() proc in the reference. I'll give you a brief demo here.
turf/tree
    icon = 'tree.dmi'
    desc = "A tree."
    verb/look()
        set src in view()
        usr << browse_rsc(icon, "tree.png")
        usr << browse("\
            <a href=BYOND://?src=\ref[src];usr=\ref[usr]>\
            <img src='tree.png' border=0></a>[desc]")

    Topic(href, hlist)
        /* I think you can use usr in Topic, but
            when in doubt, don't use it!  This
            code looks up the mob who the
            browser page was sent to. */
        var/mob/M = locate(hlist["usr"])
        if(M)
            M << "You clicked [src]'s browser button!"

Shadowdarke's advice will help you, but you also need to fix that horrible HTML. You've got the <b> and <center> tags before <body>, which makes no sense; you also didn't close most of your tags, which is important. Don't forget to close <font>, and <b> (once you move it), and <body>, and <html>.

Thanx for pointing that out.. I'm still real new with HTML so its difficult to implement it in a piece of my game.
