MV Shadow Darken

FEATURES
A basic plugin that allows you to specify regions that will be in shadow. These regions will make the player and events fade darker and lighter as they move from shadow to light (similar to Suikoden 2 for those who have played that).
This plugin may not be compatible with other plugins that also change the blend color of map events. Shadows will have to be placed manually, it does not automatically place shadows either.
