This lowers shadows and lights more towards ground level by default in MTA.
#1699 worked on this, but it edited a variable which is referenced by 20 different places unrelated to shadows and lights which we want to lower, hence it's safer to go through the addresses we want to edit, and apply the new float to them only.
I agree with @botder in that we don't really need to have a setting for this because it's a general improvement and not really something you want to toggle really.
A future PR could make this float editable in Lua maybe if it's useful for any scripters.
I tweaked the float a little bit and found 0.013f is a safe number and doesn't cause any flickering.
