Reworked it as a client Video setting instead of a synced world special property. Settings → Video → "PS2 scorched vehicles" (CVAR: ps2_scorched_vehicles, default off). |

Summary
Adds a new world special property
ps2scorchedvehicles(default:false) to darken destroyed vehicle chassis closer to PS2 SA behaviour.When enabled:

Motivation
Fixes #4946 .
On PS2 SA, destroyed vehicles appear nearly black. On PC SA and MTA, the chassis stays visibly coloured because PC uses a weaker scorched lighting multiplier (0.18f) and MTA reapplies synced paint colours during render.
This is vanilla PC behaviour, not an MTA bug. SkyGFX reproduces the PS2 look externally; this change exposes it as an opt-in server setting via
