If you, like me, find it frustrating that memorised (visited but not currently visible) area is now brown (Brown!? What a ridicu… unconventional choice of colour…), and if you, like me, dislike that, I’ve made a quick and dirty patch to change that.
[https://pastebin.com/9z3NPTN2](https://pastebin.com/9z3NPTN2)
This patch changes low-light tiles from being black-n-white to coloured-but-darker, and turns visited-but-not-visible (memorised) tiles to be black-n-white instead. I don’t have much time nor knowledge of C++ to make a proper mod and/or PR, and it is applicable for tileset build only.
I usually build my version of a game following this instruction: [https://www.reddit.com/r/cataclysmdda/comments/5d7d0f/macos\_compiling\_a\_bleedingedge\_sensibly/](https://www.reddit.com/r/cataclysmdda/comments/5d7d0f/macos_compiling_a_bleedingedge_sensibly/)
Your steps may vary. In any case, if you wish to apply the patch, it should be done between steps **4** and **5** :
4.1. In terminal, go to directory where you’ve cloned the sources to (ex.: _cd /Applications/CataclysmBuild_)
4.2. Save content of liked paste as, for example, “_sepia-looks-awful.patch_” in the abovementioned directory.
4.3. Type “_git apply sepia-looks-awful.patch_”
Proceed with step **5**.
Before this sepia thing is fixed/updated in any way, feel free to patch the game with this. I hope this hack will become obsolete as soon as possible.

Luckily you don’t need to submit a pull request since a togglable option was PR’d 3 days ago and is just awaiting merging.

Well, this one is a bit different, as the togglable option PR only gives you ability to have old behaviour back, while this patch also changes highlight colours for low-light and memorised tiles, swapping them. But, yeah, at least they’ve made a PR, which is great. I’m just surprised it wasn’t there from the start though - don’t have to be a genius to understand the controversy of such a change.

Yeah those 3 days of delay on the _experimental version_ surely almost killed the game. So silly of them.

It was designed to be configurable in the future. Nobody should expect this configuration in the same PR.

Making a change in one PR and then making an option to turn it off in another PR… maybe we have a different understanding of a feature as a logical unit of work, then.

Such sarcasm, much awe.

Just read the original PR. It would be a tileset mod.
