Summary0004151: Black_matt isn't
DescriptionTDM has two plain black textures in the sfx folder: black_matt and black_near. Black_near is supposed to be off-black, but black_matt should be pure black according to the description. But it has specular lighting, so it's only black if there's no nearby light source.

This texture has been used lots. Opened a forum thread to consult mappers on the feasibility of fixing it: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/17209-fix-texture-black-matt/

From the discussion, an update on the plan:
//
I'm now thinking of creating a new texture instead of modifying the old one. The old description doesn't actually specify 0,0,0, and it *is* extremely dark. It worked fine for the purpose I mentioned above, for the bottom of pits and holes. The only time it's been a problem is when I've been using it in test maps for transparent textures and particles, where I use it as a backdrop to examine additive shader stages. The dim reflections from matt_black have been a niusance. I should probably just add a pair of opaque textures to the sfx folder, "full_black" and "full_white".
