The Barbarians holding candles have a white glow around them, even the corpses. Is this as intended?

We're going to look into fixing the glowing corpses issue. It seems to also be blowing out the dynamic light budget in some crowded areas, causing flickering.

First off. AMAZING WORK. I created a human ranger in Surefall and the tunnel was as dark as I remembered.

I also tested a Dark Elf in Neriak. Looks like some areas are still showing much darker than I would expect with ultravision.

This is across from House of D'Abth in Neriak Commons. LOC -25, -1140.

I thought the early version of the game had some corny looking planets and stars in the sky, appearing quite out of place, only to be replaced with the stars we currently have? If there is a choice between having a ringed planet large enough to appear "as is" verses nothing, then I will take nothing (though I rather keep the current stars at least on Blue - adds character).

This is how it was in 1999. I remember needing to follow the tunnel wall in order to find the zone line until I got a fire beetle eye.

Thanks for the infra/ultravision reports, I've identified an issue that was making some indoor areas darker than intended. I should be able to fix this for the next patch.

Infravision does not appear fully implemented. It is not turning mobs red.

EDIT: rain is making it easier to see in the dark instead of harder. I suspect its because the rain 'fog' is a light grey. might not be correctable within client limitations without messing up daytime rain?

This may be related to the sky issues Telin will be fixing with the next patch.

Infravision's red tint is unfortunate a stretch goal because of the way the Titanium client operates. For some reason, ultravision still contains the necessary data whereas Infravision does not.
