The file name vpa_shadow.tga isn't right, it must be vpfshdw.tga. Also, seems that there isn't the alpha channel. I suggest to edit the in-game shadow texture instead of make a new one.

what is alpha channel?

The alpha channel in a 32 bit .tga texture file is a fourth channel that's about the texture transparencies.
I don't know how to view and add the RGB channels in Paint.NET program; here there's the in-game shadow texture in .tga format.
