Minor enhancement on item's ghost alpha

[adem4ik]

or i would rather suggest an option like cg_itemsGhostAlpha with range from 127 to 0 to prevent ppl's whining about it.

When doing some test plays with the engine I got confused many times because of this small difference between the two states for some items, so I would really recommend a small (default) value as well, perhaps even around 40.

On a side note, what about removing the scaling respawn effect? Replacing the placeholder with an upscaling new item seems messy to me, especially considering the fast-paced and minimalist nature of the game. Just an opinion though.

Well, I took a somewhat different approach to make the ghost items appear

Looks a lot better and useful! thank you)

hettoo, what do you think? I've decided to keep the scaling effect because it's somewhat more pronounced than the alternatives.

It's very nice. Fortunately the only item that might still cause a little confusion is the least popular one (machinegun being grey).
I do still find the scaling weird combined with this new feature, but I'll agree that there is no comparable alternative.
