Perhaps the Vahnatai are responsible. A last ditch effort by Rentar's supporters to give everyone really sore eyes. -------------------- The Knight Between Posts.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, March 7 2006 04:00 Profile Homepage #28 quote: Originally written by ef: You wanted an example, Thuryl. Here's one that demonstrates the problem pretty well. This is not a particularly dark section of a dungeon, you can see a lot of details, even tiny ones, at least as long as their colour contrasts strongly with the colour of the floor: all the little stones are easy to make out. But tell me, how many rats are there? No, it's not two, it's three. A lever would be practically invisible. Colours that are close to each other are hard to distinguish. If the dungeon were a bit darker, you'd not see any rat at all. That's actually not so much worse than some of the dungeons in the Mac version. I remember that it wasn't uncommon to have to squint in order to see dark-coloured monsters in dark areas. So I don't think the problem is primarily from the Mac-Windows conversion (which Jeff knows quite well to adjust for, since back when BoE was supported he used to convert graphics between Mac and Windows and adjust the colours so they'd blend in correctly with the other version's graphics) -- some areas were just plain too dark to begin with. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Randomizer Law Bringer Member # 6785	written Thursday, March 9 2006 07:12 Profile #31 The screen shot looks about as bad as what I get on my Mac iBook with the screen at medium range. Fight mode or tab will at least identify monster locations. From the late Douglas Adams' Restaurant at the End of the Universe "It's the wild color scheme that freaks me," said Zaphod whose love affair with this ship had lasted almost three minutes into the flight. "Every time you try to operate one of these weird black controls that are labeled in black on black background, a little black light lights up to let you know you've done it." As quoted from the essay on ergonomics, "Beware of the Leopard," in The Anthology at the End of the Universe. Posts: 4643 \| Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00
