The displaying of the gray box was a change to make it easier for them to be spotted. As for interacting, you need to make the turf:
turf/Creation
    New
        mouse_opacity=2
        Click()
            usr<<"You are creating a new character"

Ah. I see. But it looks like I've come accross another error. When I do a multi-tiled icon, only one tile's turf is actually the icon. To add to that, if I put any size icon on that one tile, it overrides and uses that same size. On the old map file I have, it lays it out perfect, but when I goto run, every tile is the same as the first "1,1" tile.
