So I belong to House Rilyn'ervs and I noticed a major inconsistency in the lighting outside or House and inside it. There are torches on the walls and in one area they are blue (fairy fire) but inside the house they are yellow (like actually torches) No underdark race uses fire for lighting. The single exception being Drow Wizards who traditionally study by candle light.

I know a lot of effort has gone into mood lighting on the server recently and honestly it looks fantastic! I was just wondering if a check could be made of the underdark tileset, especially those in the city to make sure the correct lighting and color is used for Underdark locations.

This like a a 2 minuet fix in the tile set editor, per location.

You're lucky I have a terrible weakness for fine-tuned area lighting... But there are three things, both specific to this feedback thread and for area feedback in general.

First: if reporting something about an area, PLEASE INCLUDE THE FULL AREA NAME! I have no idea where you live. I'm going to hit every Andunor interior anyway because I've apparently lost my mind, but anyone posting area feedback should include the full area name(s) in their initial post.

Second: a fix like this is two minutes in the toolset (at most)... but another 10-15 minutes making sure I've pulled the most recent version of the area from our repo, load it into my working module (if we worked in the FULL module, it'd add 3-6 minutes more in loading time). Then after the change extract the files, create a new branch for the change, push it to github, and open a pull request for it. We can save time making multiple changes at once, but the time it takes to actually edit something in the toolset? Just remember that small things like this may take you a minute working on a solo module, but change control for 1500+ areas is more involved than that.

Third...: Underdark races may usually not use fire for illumination (let's just put the Duergar aside entirely here, eh?) but plenty more races than just Underdark natives live in Andunor.

You've got me looking over Andunor interiors now because I do have a weakness for mood lighting! But I'm just going to do a pass and if I think a room looks better with normal fire or with faerie fire, that's what I'll be going with! (Along with general other improvements as I spot them.)

Bat,

I sent you a PM with the additional information about the location. You have probably seen it by now, but I never got a response so I couldn't be sure.
