Make volumetric shadows slighty darker

[lopezloo]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Volumetric shadows look ugly IMO. These would look a lot better if were blurred and little darker like blob shadows and dynamic ped shadows. Blurring them may be hard but changing their color is one byte change.

Describe the solution you'd like

Make volumetric shadows a bit darker, maybe? It would be a breaking (?) change, like, it would be different than it is in single player, so we could discuss that but I think these would seriously look better.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Does this have to be a 'breaking' change? Surely we can have a function to enable/disable this (disabled by default)?

Edit: could have a function to set the shadow alpha?

We could introduce a function for that but I'm more interested in altering default behaviour.

I would only like this if server owners are the ones to opt in to use this new settings. We should avoid making the same mistake we made with the lowering of shadows (even if no z-fighting would occur because of this change).

We could introduce cvar for that. That way it wouldn't be breaking change.
