Brick Add-on Help

[Custard]

I am making a new brick add-on, I have it all packed up and ready for usage. However, there is one issue. (Please respect that I am new to scripting and I am struggling to learn the concept)

Whenever I place my brick, it doesn't appear, and it isn't colliding. It might have something to do with the lack of an icon, of which I don't know how to create. Here is the script. (If that's what you want to call it)

datablock fxDTSBrickData (brick8x8x12Data)
{
   brickFile = "./8x8x12.blb";
   category = "Baseplates";
   subCategory = "Cube";
   uiName = "8x Halfcube";
   iconName = "Add-Ons/Brick_Halfcube/8x8x12";
};

Again, please note that I am a complete from the scratch beginner.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

It is a script, you're not wrong there.

I can't see anything wrong with it :/

The fact is, however, I don't have an icon for it. That's just prepared for when I do get one! Thing is tho, I don't know how!

This is why it isn't working.

... Thing is tho, I don't know how!

What about going into DestructLight or Construct, place your (grey colored) brick somewhere, take a snapshot, go into GIMP/Paint.NET/whatever you use other than Paint, magic wand the white/black part, and save it as a .png?

I need an organized way I can give my brick a png. image :/

You don't have to have a .png file. I thought it just appeared as a question mark in the brick menu.

[Custard]

Yea, but when I place the brick, nothing appears. I just hear the "click" sound from placing the brick.

Here's what it looks like in the file.
