Problem description:
I am trying to get the image of the players icon to appear where the \icon[I] is, but it never comes up just a spot with an X on it. How do I fix it.

If this is part of browse(), than it will not work. You need to send the icon via browse_rsc() and than have the nicknamed file img'd into the browse... eg: 
mob/verb/Yay()
  browse_rsc(icon('Mob.dmi',"nude"),"NudeMob.png")//exports the icon_state "nude" in the icon Mob.dmi to the usr, the file is named as NudeMob.dmi
  usr<<browse("Please wear clothes! <img src=NudeMob.png>!!")

I deliberately left some things out in hopes that you would look up the procedures mentioned before using them, and it looks like you didn't. So look it up in DM Reference/F1 and you'll see what is missing.

Well anyways... It was right to a certain extent. When you display he browser again... The icon dosen't update so in other words the image stays the same :(

How do I fix this?

I don't think you can send an animated ICON via the method I showed. You need to send an actual animated IMAGE (which is usually .gif if I assume correctly... and I am not talking about /image), otherwise I think it remains on a stand-still...

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

No I don't want an animated image. It's just when I open the page again and say I added an overlay hair the hair will not appear. the image just remains the same.

Ah, you see, when you "chose" the icon [icon(..) or src.icon, etc etc etc], it does not take overlays/underlays into account, you have to icon.Blend (or something similar) in.

You can not diretly access icons in overlays so you have to pretty much make a proc or something to contain the overlay'd object/icon

An example would be: 
mob/proc/overlay(var/atom/A)
   ...lazy to safety check if it's an icon, an atom [which you have to "convert" to an image and stuff], etc...
   src.overlay+=I//Keeps hold of the item, self-defined variable [not built-in]
   src.overlays+=I


...The browse() icon thing..
        var/icon/I=new//So we can make icon.Blend work
        I.icon=src.icon
        for(var/icon/A in src.overlay)I.Blend(A,ICON_OVERLAY)//Note this is overlay not overlayS, it won't work with it.
        for(var/icon/A in src.underlay)I.Blend(A,ICON_UNDERLAY)
        usr<<browse_rsc(I,"Mob.png")//Sends the icon formed, which includes the overlays/underlays from the procedures above


There might be a better way that I do not know of though *shrugs*

Does it have to be mob.png??

because when I used mob.png it worked ok but when i used

src << browse_rsc(icon(usr.icon),"User Icon.png")

it never worked?

In response to Stephen-San (#10)
You can have it as any extension I think, I am just used to .PNG >.>

The reason why it didn't worked is because you might have referenced to that icon wrong, it would be:

<img src=User%20Icon.png> not <img src=User Icon.png>

" " => %20 in html conversion... or you could of done <img src=[html_encode("User Icon.png")]> but that's a tad bit longer neh?

Then you should tell them to see the reference, don't bug codes in hopes he'll fix them. If you're giving a code, give a working one. It's okay if you used errors such as identation errors, but this is merely confusing. :p @ u

Okay, fine, the truth was I forgot to put the src<<browse_rsc(... >_>''

I have described the problem and Ghost anime has tired to help me but failed.

There is a runetime error

There's a reason why I showed "var/icon/I=new" in [link], so do the same to yours. As for why it needs new to work even if you assigned the icon, I have no idea but I do know it needs it >_>

Also, as I mentioned in the same post, you can not directly access the icons in the overlays list as it contains no actual objects (I forgot what type of special format it has >_<).

var/icon/I=new('blank.dmi') //a blank icon
for(var/icon/A in underlays) I.Blend(icon(A:icon,A:icon_state,dir,1),ICON_OVERLAY)
I.Blend(icon(icon,icon_state,dir,1),ICON_OVERLAY)

Something like that should work.
