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.

Dark elves had ultravision which was the best vision. Infravision was for other races like Wood elves, high elves, dwarves etc...

Hopefully some Telin-like personality can come out of the wood work for something like this.

As evidenced, Lord Nilberg will recognize, value and implement your hard work for the cause.

Yes, I have. And found no problems. In "classic" there was ZERO visibility in the tunnel between everfrost and butcherblock - complete black. In P99 you can see all the way through just fine.

(Edit - should be Blackburrow and not Butcherblock there -- got my "BB"'s mixed up. Thanks Yumyums!)
