That's not a glow, it's just transparent sprites.
You should be able to make new sprites and add them to the sprite table.
Grab the tools Ken made.

All truth goes through three stages:
•First it is ridiculed
•Then it is violently opposed
•Finally it is widely accepted as self evident

Re: Finding ways to make things GLOW!
BZ doesn't do additive blending but alpha-blended textures work great for various effects. MakeMAP isn't the friendliest utility but it's not too hard once you get the hang of it. Alpha-blended textures are tricky to get working with software rendering, though, and have a somewhat limited palette.
I need to document MakeMAP better since it's not immediately obvious how to use it.
