I played an infravision (dwarf) character back then and nothing ever turned the mobs red (or any other color).

Dwarves had and still have ultravision, not infravision.

Examples of the effect in question from period-sourced shots (off the wayback machine/allakhazam):

A reddish tint for all colors with infravision, blue or violet for ultravision.

The tint is classic. However you wont get mobs or items turning completely "red" or "blue" as the original question suggests.

Its not a bright red. Its a reddish orange tint. And it most certainly was there for infravision. Here are some examples: from this classic guild site: Council Guild

The only race that had ultravision were dark elves. All others had infravision, with the exception of Barbarian, Human and Erudite which had nothing.

I suppose you're already aware of the issue making the screenshots a bit glitchy. This should probably be addressed by the way, I think? Being Making proper screenshots is a quite important part of EQ!

Here's my outside Qeynos Gates:

Overall, in game, the darkness looks great. Couple remarks:
- I don't remember the light sources being so "patchy". You can see in my SS that there are strong light patches around corpses and bugs. They should light up but not as radically as it is now.
- The light from candles, torches, etc (bugs too?) should be SLOWLY PULSATING I think. With pulse cycles of a few seconds. Not sure this is implementable with Titanium as it is.

Overall, GREAT JOB and keep it up!

Change your screenshot export format to PNG/JPG and this will go away I bet.

And how do you do that? Some eqclient.ini option?

Dwarves had infravision on live and have infravision here. As a racial trait, only DEs have ultravision (which gives everything a blueish tint indeed).

That reddish tint is news to me but hey, it's been 20 years.
