Project 1999 and the Titanium Client

New page

== Basics ==
In classic EverQuest characters had three levels of vision: normal, [[Infravision]], and [[Ultravision]]. Some races started with superior vision, and this was considered a meaningful racial feature by the games developers. There were numerous spells and items which granted characters of other races improved vision.

In addition, classic EverQuest also includes a large number of [[light source]] items. These items had 15 different degrees of illumination, which radiated from the character wearing /wielding them.

=== Project 1999 and the Titanium Client ===

The way lighting worked in EverQuest changed over time, and by the time the Titanium client came out the game was ... well a different game. The developers wanted everyone to be able to see well, and so vision levels/lighting had a much more muted impact in the Titanium Client.

Because of this, and because [[Project 1999]] used the [[Titanium client]], for a long time vision/lighting didn't matter much on Project 1999. However, in anticipation of [[Green]], the hard-working P99 volunteers have started finding ways to work around the Titanium Client limitations, to make lighting matter in a more classic way.

As a result, [[Project 1999]] players should expect ... as with many things ... a "close to, but not perfectly accurate" lighting/vision mechanics on both [[Blue]] and [[Green]].
