Make sure icon_state is correct.
Add ..() at the end.

Does the icon have any icon_states without names? If not, there's your issue. You either need to make a default blank icon_state, or assign an icon_state along with icon.

Yea ssx the i tried to make it with naming the icon states and without still nothing =\

Try doing this:
mob
    icon = 'Base.dmi'


If you have an icon state inside of 'Base.dmi' that has no name, mobs will have this icon. If you don't have an unnamed icon state, their icon will be blank until you assign an icon_state to them.

It could be a number of things; most commonly it would be something with the icon. I recomend that someone who knows something about developement take a look at your icon to ensure it's not the cause.

After that; it's probaly something in the code that causes the icon to null out. I would search for all instances of .icon in your files to make sure.

After THAT; why would you use usr in Login()? Though I haven't toyed with Login() in awhile; I'm sure you shouldn't call usr in it.

After THAT; ensure the icon have the exact name you're assigning it in the code.

After THAT; ensure you're either automaticly including the file with your code or manualy via #include.

      mob/Login()
        src.str = 10
        src.def = 5
        src.health = 100
        src.loc = locate(93,92,1)
        src.icon = 'Base.dmi'
        world << "<font color = red>Welcome [src] we thank you for joining!"
