Was it Luclin textures or did Velious come with the better oldworld textures? I thought it was Velious...

Anyone else notice how many things look a lot brighter with Luclin textures as well? I wonder if this has anything to do with the reason why armor colors look different than the pics from classic era (since we know that the color codes were not changed).

The vid makes them appear darker yes. My assumption is that the client change is what caused the off-colors. How many people were using the Luclin client with old models on, wearing old planar armor and such to notice? Probably not a whole lot.

I am curious how some of the newer clients display this stuff and if there will ever be a way to fix the lighting issues in-game. It really seems to be a lighting thing to me causing everything across the board to be brighter which washes out/changes armor colors.

It is nice not getting eye pains from playing EQ anymore. It used to bother me a lot after a couple of hours back on live..

I don't mind the enhanced textures. I can see the difference. Although it didn't make an impact on how I felt about the game.

Different story for the character models though...

New textures were added in Velious. I remember the Rygorr armor and the Guardian armor looking really sweet. I camped Guardian armor in Skyshrine for weeks to get a full set.

I remember some helms having sweet new looks in Velious as well. Helm of the tracker maybe?

new textures were added, new armor etc. But old world didnt get new textures until Luclin. The changes shown in the video are Luclin changes not Velious.

You won't appreciate the textures to their full extend until you play in 1920x1080 .. the difference was gigantic. Also, thanks for the nostalgia trip this vid gave.

Classic graphics are far better, you'll notice the newer graphics are way brighter and have no 'worn' look to them, looks like some kid just cut them out with construction paper.

From the post on how to update:
TUTORIAL:

1.) (optional) Back-up all current .s3d files in your Everquest folder (sort file types by using details view in windows)
2.) Download Textures: http://p99.yourfirefly.com/ (thanks to norova for hosting)

3.) extract RAR to EQ folder C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest (rewrite all)

and you're done! easy right?

So it looks like to revert, you need to replace the *.s3d files you've updated with the ones from a default install of P99. Should put you back to classic low-res textures. Let us know how that works out for you.
