Human carrying a small lantern in secondary slot. Placing a fire beetle eye in any of my eight general inventory slots actually reduces light level. Looks like fire beetle eye light level is taking precedence.

That's likely because it has a wider radius, despite the lower brightness. Not much to be done about that. There's no way to combine player light sources.

So yesterday I ran around with a candle and a torch with a human and an erudite to finish up testing darkness. I have to say that it looks great! The platform to boat area is much improved and you can actually see now.

I will say this though. I did encounter some odd things. The one thing in Neriak that i encountered I will not report yet cause I don't know if it was a fluke thing or a lighting thing. But the thing I will report is, I jumped off of the boat in Erudin's Crossing last night and when I went underwater, it was very bright and clear. It almost looked as if I was flying rather than swimming. I could see the bottom of the ocean and all.

It looks incredible though guys! You really did a great job with this darkness thing!

Was your character a prexus worshipper? They get innate ocean vision.

That's a great question. I rush-created him cause I didn't care, so it is quite possible that I did choose Prexus. I had no idea they get that special feature.

They're pulling your leg. It's simply a glitch related to going underwater on our client. I get it too on my decidedly not-prexus characters.

EDIT: For now, at least, I am no longer able to test Kunark zones (on blue) using the Green patch. The files seem to have diverged too much: Kunark forest zones (including Emerald Jungle and Trak's Teeth) become very bright at night, similar to the underwater glitch mentioned above. This does not happen if I revert all files to 50D, but of course then I don't have the newest night-sky tweaks.
