| Question: | I know the question has been asked in various ways, but, call me stubborn if you will, I can't figure out why you can't create a dungeon that has no internal lightsources. Then a lightsource of some sort would need to be brought in from outside in order to see inside. As far as I can tell, if there are no lightsources in a dungeon, then no matter how I change gamma settings, the colors should still resolve to the same value - black (or some shade of grey?) (I do realize that a portal to leave the dungeon is a lightsource.) |

| Answer: | Most of the Xarabydun's Lightless Tunnels dungeon has no light sources. The thing is; 1) Dungeons you can't see are boring. 2) By adjusting brightness and gamma correction, players can light them anyway. So there's really no point to making them. |
