Night Vision fix¶
Classic EQ nights are dark — atmospherically at first, then mostly just annoying. The community's fix replaces a handful of shader and sky/water texture files in the EQ install so nights are playable without gamma tricks. nParse+ applies it (and reverts it) with one click.
Applying it¶
- Set your EQ install directory in Settings → General — WINE/CrossOver paths work fine; it's just files.
- Settings → Advanced → Night Vision fix → Apply. Quit EQ first; nParse+ warns if the game looks like it's running.
- Restart EQ. Enjoy seeing.
The fix extracts a bundled zip (RenderEffects/*.fxo shader replacements
plus Resources/* sky/water textures — the same archive EQTool ships) over
the EQ directory.
Reverting it¶
Revert in the same settings group restores every original file.
Backup-first, by design
Where EQTool simply overwrites the game files, nParse+ first copies
every file it would touch into a visionfix_backup/ tree beside them.
Revert restores from that backup — no reinstall, no guessing which
files changed.
This is the one feature that modifies game files at all, and it only ever runs when you click the button. Normal operation reads the log file only.
