The dark parts in screenshots are never trully black, just gray

For context, the map I'm using is gm_bunker678, I'm darkening this model by using Set Lighting Origin and moving a prop to this dark place (third picture is it with the flashlight off).

It vexes me that the dark parts in it aren't fully pitch black, but rather a dark gray. How do I fix it? How do I make this screenshot actually pleasing to look?

Show me where it hurts...

So uhhh... I guess I didn't make it obvious, but turns out I'm actually a combat-medic, if the huge backpack and the defibrillators weren't obvious enough.

So show me where it hurts, and I'll try to see what I can do. Maybe they give me a raise if I do good enough.

...

AND I MEAN PHYSICAL PAIN! I DON'T WANNA HEAR ANYONE VENT TO ME ABOUT YOUR FALLING MARRIAGE LIKE MY C.O. DID BACK THEN!

Cpl. Adrian Shephard's Journal (Entry #1)

Working in Reconnaissance, I guess it's not so different from what I have seen before. If the rumors about Captain Doherty are true, these are some really big shoes I have to fill, given the ways he's went out of his way to help this company. Nothing I'm not used to, but it's still a thought that appears in my head from time to time.

No matter. After that operation we've had together, this is my way of paying my debt to Keegan. He's certainly a badass I aspire to be, but he is also just too unreachable, unless you either somehow stumble into him, or he actually decides to show up own his own.

I think I'll fit just right in here. I just hope that the rumors of the people being friendly are also true, but it's not like anything could ever surprise me too much anymore. Not after Bla

There's a harsh stroke in his journal in the letter "a", as if something, or someone, had interrupted his writing.

My freedom is conditional.

I better keep quiet about it.

(You can interact in-RP with him just chilling in the corner if you want to :P)

*A mysterious military figure in a gas mask walks towards the company.*

After the death of Cpt. Jonathan "Rookie" Doherty, the role the "strong, silent type", willing to make the first contact for the company as a whole, was left empty.

Someone had to fill it.

Cpl. Adrian Shephard, a survivor of Black Mesa, a marine who carried too many rumours. Some say that he's worked with a rival company before, others that he was selected by the secretive special agent Keegan P. Russ. All smoke and mirrors, amidst the company's many secrets and the Amist's many mysteries.

But one truth was certain: Wherever he went, mystery would always follow him, giving him many times he's had to fight for his own dear life.

He carried two suitcases, and walked towards the remains of the company. Maybe it would be his new home now.

Pvt. Ramirez here

The hell does "aura" even mean anymore?

Why do people throw it around so much now?

Also, what's the whole deal with "Sigma"?

I get "Beta" and "Alpha", but "Sigma"? When did they come up with that?

Thanks for reading.

News Boy, genuinely, we're crucifying you for that.

like seriously, that's not the type of 💩 to play with. You almost had the whole sub on heart attack, man! D:

EDIT: No, it's not a genuine threat. Just a form of saying "you scared us, don't do that again :(". It's not meant to be in bad faith or anything.

Pretty much how Rookie (used to) act in KcKenson

Bro used to face demons beyond his comprehension with an SMG, futuristic armor, and a dream T_T

Also, thanks u/Sea_Molasses_5239 for showing me this image :D

This is Petty Officer 1st Class Crosby

Y'all may haven't heard about me, but I gave the Captain the idea of using drones against Gaster. Ever since he died and with the upcoming final push, I've been talking with Sgt. Gary "Roach" Sanderson about forming a task-force, mainly composed of 141 remnants and some extra people with military background.

I've got experience with some specialized gear that could be useful: ground robots with explossives, machine-gun mounted quadrupedal drones, Piercing Shot Rifles, explosive-arrow crossbows, burst-fire grenade launchers... You name it.

Current plans are to pick up from where the Captain's stopped. Now, if the he's right about Gaster's body being stronger, I don't think 21st century standard issue ARs's gonna be any useful, we'll need something with better ballistics, but not as heavy as whatever sniper-rifle he was thinking of using, not for the main assault team, atleast. Also, since we're gonna attack as a team now, we'll need some extra jetpacks to get better at avoiding Gaster and that orange dude he's been dating or whatever.

Any extra advice may be elligible to be put in the board, so don't get shy to raise your hand, I'm not gonna bite or anything.

Pvt. Ramirez here

I come back from zombie extemination, and there's this huge ship coming towards Mars? Does it have anything to do it that "Gaster" guy?

Without the Captain's experience, the hell's a Tier-2 grunt like me supposed to do!?

I have this ray gun, but other than that, don't even have the technology or skills to deal with it, that's a whole 'nother level.

Thanks for reading.

(Yea, I said my hiatus would be until friday, but tomorrow's tests are gonna be on the easier side, and I didn't want to miss such an important event as an RPer, so I figured I could spare the time)

OOC Post: Will have to be inactive for less than a week

Yeah, test week is coming, and I won't be able to keep roleplaying or chatting while having to focus on my studies during this time. So starting tomorrow, and until the 15th, I'll have to stay inactive to focus on school.

But do update me when I come back. I'll be eagerly waiting to come back to RPing as just a normal Army Ranger who managed to solo the russian army on his back :D
