OK I had this problem resolved once but since the 96.1 release (I think) this has cropped up again. When I double click an item, like a corpse or a box, I get a health bar on that item. Is there a setting in serverspecopt that I missed?

Thanks in advance.

Are you using the latest clients? You might be experiencing the stupid new targeting rectile system in the clients. Go to your Interface Options on the client (the little mouse icon) and put a check in Disable New Targeting System.

Using client version 5.0.2 Patch 13
Didn't find that item in the options menu.

Its on 5.0.2 clients... are you patched to it or are you just using the client?

I patched.

Here are the options I have in my "Interface" configuration sub-menu in the "Options" menu with their current settings.

( 'V' indicates checkbox that is checked. '_' indicates unchecked checkbox. 'o' indicates disabled radio button and '*' indicates radio button enabled.)

Run Mouse in seperate thread.
V - Enable pathfinding with double-right-click
_ - Hold down TAB key for combat instead of tapping it to toggle combat mode
V - Offset interface windows rather than perfectly stacking them
V - Automatically arrange minimized windows
_ - Your character will always run if this is checked
V - Use default desktop
_ - Hold Shift for context sensitive menus
V - Disable menu bar

Item Properties Display Mode
o - At Icon
o - Always Up
* - Follow Mouse
o - Single Click

_ - Display Item Properties Icon
V - Object Handles

Is that 3D? On the 2D client its just after Disable menu bar...

Ahh just looked it over on uo.com. You need to patch further to disable it. They did fix many of the issues with the targeting system and added that option to disable it in newer patches. Just posting a screenshot of what it looks like to have it enabled and the option to disable it... This screenshot was taken on version 5.0.2g patch 20

OK. I'll restore to my virgin UO: ML zip file then let that patch up. I have some customized graphics files so it refuses to patch me up any further with what I have in my UO folder.

Thanks CWO for the help.

Thanks CWO.

I copied my virgin ML install, ran UO Patch and it fixed my peoblem.

FYI makes no dif whether it's enabled or disabled. Must have had some wierd in-between patch. I have had reports from players/staff that sometimes EA Games patch doesn't complete. Might have happened to me too.

Anyway, thanks.

that whole brace thing disables for me if I have it disabled. Health bars appeared on items in 5.0.2 but shouldnt if patched after.
