Do we have any trivial mechanism to fight with pitch-black corners (some authors use in their FMs darkness that is absolute. It cannot be lighted through options settings. Some authors use it a lot) in the FMs?
I want to see the walls. I like walls! They have bricks in them. I love bricks too.
I would really like some non-dromed-involved solution.
Is it possible?

I wouldn't call this solution acceptable. Better than nothing, but still far from good.

What would be a better solution than this? If you want to raise the ambient light, you have to relight the map in DromEd. There's no way around it.
An object like this, added by simple drag and drop, is truly the next best option.

You can change your gamma setting in cam.cfg
Default set at 0.5, change it to 0.4 should give you more than enough extra lighting.

Well, no. It is some kind of strange darkness. It can be fended off with a lantern but it totally ignores brightness/gamma settings. Example is the "Journey into the Underdark"

Gamma only effects areas that have some amount of lightness in them already, your turning up the brightness in that area (even if you can barely see it before hand) but there is nothing you can do with pitch black areas, you can't turn up the lightness in areas are that is completely devoid of any in the first place.
If you are using a lantern on that black area you have introduced lightness yourself, that why you can then see the textures previously hidden in the darkness.
So don't think you can do any more than use a lantern, or make a mission yourself.

i was under impression that darkness that cant be lit means there is no reason to search it
but there is some fan missions where there is a dark room that can be lit but you will have nothing to lit it up so you got to blind frob for loot
i just wish all authors can use the rule of if its dark with no way to lit it up,keep moving

A.Stahl with all the war going on in Ukraine I´m surprise you find the time and the possibility to dive in the Thief universe.
