Darkvision and Ultravision

Post by **LinuxPup** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 2:02 pm

I've never noticed the difference between having darkvision and not. Has anyone noticed this? I was wondering if it'd be possible to apply ultravision to those who have darkvision so that their sight improves noticeably in dark areas (without the UV visual effect of eyes floating over the head).

Currently it seems like darkvision is an unimplemented feat that should be doing what ultravision is doing.

most dungeons are lit.
Go into the Sea Caves as a normal human and then try it with Darkvision.

Same is true for Tomb of Morsitai Passage. It is pitch black in there. With half-elf low-light vision you can make your way around, but not well.
With darkvision you can see things quite clearly.

Aye, and in the goblin caves near the crossroads, my dwarf can see better with no light than he can when there are torches are around. The torches overwhelm darkvision and give you a smaller visual radius. I've never taken a non-dwarf into the underdark, but it'd be interesting to see the contrast there. Overall, I think darkvision is working as intended and I have no complaints.

I have noticed that with a race that has dark vision, when you use ultra vision it changes the illumination level downward slightly. I guess this is to simulate different spectrum's of light. On the whole it works as advertised as I have seen it.

There's definitely a difference. espicially if you like you gamma low like me. Some rooms look almost black without darkvision
