Items just wont go transparent! Ahhhh!

I've looked through just about every property I can find and when I type [add item ---- to make a wall in the game (the only way I know how to) the walls wont go transparent on circle of transparency. All I can think of is that the game actually thinks it's an item, not a wall. Is there a way to add a wall wall so the game knows to make it see-through on transparency? I was also curious if there was a faster way to build on a shard. Typing Ctrl+Q every time I want a wall, or typing another wall's ID is tiring and takes forever. And finally I was wondering if there was a way to add things with a TileID. Sorry for my longness, but it is driving me absolutely mad trying to figure this out, heh.

Click the beginning side of the wall, click the finished side.

This will create a line of wall

Also, the transparency thing is a client limitation, not a RunUO script problem.


TileIDs cannot be added in game, only ItemIDs. TileIDs are part of the map itself.

Thank you much psz.

I heard using 'freeze' on em will make them transparent with the circle 0' trans.

That will, of course, require that you create a patch that ALL of your players would have to use.

I'm not sure I understand, freeze?

It takes any item and "freezes" it to the UO Client .mul and .map files. This reduces lag sometimes, and allows for the transparencey.

However, as I said, *ALL* of your players would be required to download the modified files if they want to play on your server.

This can be easily undone if I screw something up, right?

Backup your static files before you start!
