Problem description:
#2
Go into .dmf file and set the image path for the label to the image I want it to be.
#1
.dmf file showing that it looks sexy like it should.
#3
run game and it doesn't show sexiness like it should.

Hep would be appreciated, I'd like to assume this is a byond-side bug... But ya know I'm pretty retarded so I might just be missing something here.

Try making sure that the file is included in your project's .rsc file, by putting it in single quotes somewhere in a .dm file. E.g.

var/list/extra_files = list(\
    'myimage1.png',
    'myimage2.png')

Ideally it'd be best for DM to parse this when saving the skin, but I don't think it's setup to do that yet.

Alright just tried that possible fix, no Bueno sadly... Any other ideas?

If you can shoot me a copy of the source, I can take a look at it tomorrow.

Found the problem. Basically as far as I can tell the interface doesn't support files that have parent files with brackets in the name of the file. (Horrible at explaining, here's an example)

Yep, that makes sense. Brackets will trigger it to look up the bracket contents as if it's a reference, e.g. "[0xc000045]" or some such.
