Classic display darkness
 
I haven't seen a reference to this, and several searches also turned up no results, and I'm hoping it's possible to at least make it similar to classic...

Is it possible to reduce the display settings to eliminate all of the modern, gamma-corrected brightness? I remember EQ being VERY dark in 1999. I specifically remember how things looked at night, and the red glow of mobs due to ultravision. I'm worried that this isn't possbile with the Titanium client.

Any help?

Nope, it's an (unfortunate) limit of the Titanium client.

*EDIT:* Well, except you can always turn your alpha down.

So no red glowing skeletons then? :-(

That make me a saaaaaaad panda...

I ended up rolling a dark elf to save the strain on my eyes back in the day. Playing with anything less than ultravision made them very sore indeed :p

The Surefall Glade tunnel was pretty easy to get out of on p99. Not so much on live at the time.

When did they even change the gamma in game? I somewhat remember it being bright in velious era, much different then prekunark

OpenGL -> DX7 -> DX8 -> DX9 is your answer.

Rendering engines changed 3 times throughout the development cycle.

Yeah. I remember infravision making a HUGE difference between Dark Elves and other races in classic. That's one of the reasons why I played a DE.
