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.

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.

I remember myself playing the first character on solusek Ro for a few days until i went over to Vallon Zek:

It was a high elf and it was pretty dark everywhere, i had a hard time to find anything and other player looked a bit red.

So it seems as it is like classic was.

My next char was a DE and that was complete different.

I will make a human later, just to have a look how dark it is.

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

Thanks for the correction about Dwaves...that's one thing my brain doesn't want to accept, like the lack of halfling rangers. Infravision definitely made stuff red; it's possible you spent a lot of your time wearing some kind of vision item that overrode it. At any rate we're both displaying faulty memories so that's why the research/etc is done publicly....hive mind is best for this type of thing.

On a different tack, is the extremely rapid cutoff around walls/etc intended? I'm not familiar with the limitations of the lighting/shaders you're working with, but it quite abruptly fades from light to flat black. Here's an example of what I mean. This is with a standard Lightstone providing light.

Does....does that WHO button work, Danth????

Correct, DE are the only race with Ultra. It's hard to find in era screenshots of it. There are some though..

And for comparison, it's getting dark through the eyes of a Barbarian.

Just downloaded and started playing. Started in Oggok, it was fine. When I zoned into Ferrott, it appeared brighter, but then when i opened options it went back to being darker again.

Secondly, as soon as I zoned into Ferrott, the world was not as green anymore, it was desaturated (the ground appeared and looked as if you were walking on the moon...gray).

I will keep playing to test.

Update. Innothule Swamp appears the same...very grayed out in appearance for me. No greenish colors popping out. Not sure if it's just me or what.

Update 2: I found the issue. If there is not a light source near the textures, they all appear to be desaturated or grayed out in color (at least in these zones). I am attaching an image that shows this. You can see the colors on the ground with light source near it.

Hmmm.
