they are textures with the lights and glowing bits of a ship, such as the red streaks on shivan ships.  With the help of the source code, they overlay the origional textures of a ship its bits appear to glow.
Quite pretty.

Here are the glowmaps. I forget if they're PCXs or in a VP, but either put the PCXs in data/maps or put the VP in your main FS2 directory. They will blow your mind. :D

Be aware if you have a low end machine(sub-800mhz) your fps is going to tank.  But it will look good doing it.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.
