(See the best response by Nadrew.)
ok so i was wondering if there is a way to hold all the button icons in one icon file without having to make each icon a file separately

obj
   button
      icon = 'buttons.dmi'

      attack_button
         icon_state = "attack"

      defend_button
         icon_state = "defend"


for both types of buttons, icon = 'buttons.dmi' will be inherited from the common parent_type of /obj/button. So, inside of your buttons.dmi file, you'll simply make two icon states and label them accordingly.

Hmm. If you can, the documentation doesn't seem to make it very obvious. I'm gonna look into it a bit more and see if I can help you come up with something.

This thread seems to hint that the dmi format is (or was) not supported. If they are now supported I do not know because I do not frequently use the skin system.

:/ sigh kinda hoped it was as making separate icon files was kinda annoying but i guess it's fine for now

var/icon/my_icon = icon('myfile.dmi',"my_state")
var/file_reference = fcopy_rsc(my_icon)
winset(src,"mywindow.mybutton","image=\ref[file_reference]")


It's not purdy, but it works.
