Code:
mob
    proc
        add_hud()
            new /HUD/BG(client)
        //  new /HUD/health_meter(client)

HUD
    parent_type = /obj
    icon        = '_Menu.dmi'
    layer       = EFFECTS_LAYER
    mouse_opacity   = 0
    New(client/C)
        ..()
        C.screen.Add(src)
    BG
        icon        = '_Menu.dmi'
        icon_state  = "BG"
        screen_loc  = "2,1 to 20,1"


Problem description:
Well, this is supposed to add the background for the HUD, however it isn't being added to the screen, regardless of the fact that this is the same system I used for Zombies! except instead of Add() I used C.screen+=src. I've tried both ways and it's to no avail. Any insight would be appreciated.

Are you positive it does not work? I copied and pasted using the same icon file name and state with it working perfectly.

Also, absolutely love the game you're working on.

I'm positive. It's starting to frustrate me. /:
Let me try updating BYOND.

Why not try interfacing the hud as an alternative if it's not working for you?

See if C.screen contains anything before and after adding. If it contains, then output objects to see their icon and screen_loc variable values.
Also you could try to set higher layer, just in case.
