== Write a material for the glowing Texture ==

textures/darkmod/gleeful/ctywindow02_lit
{
noSelfShadow
noshadows
forceoverlays

{
map textures/darkmod/gleeful/ctywindow02_lit // this is the regular diffusemap
}

{
blend add
map textures/darkmod/gleeful/lit // this is the .tga to blend it with - an orange to
// white gradient in my case

red 0.3 // with the rgb values you can regulate the intensity
green 0.3
blue 0.3
}
}

== Make a Patch Mesh ==
Then make a simple patch mesh in the editor (slightly bigger than the window), put the "flaresizeable" texture on it (which you can find in the sfx folder) and make it a '''func_static'''.

== Place the Patch Mesh ==
Place the mesh one 0.125 unit before the window to avoid z-fighting.

== Set the Flare Color ==
Now press "k", choose a color for the flare and diminish it's brightness until it is translucent. you can also use the key/value pair "shaderparm4/negative or positive value" to increase/decrease the size/intensity of the flare-effect.

== The Result ==

An example can be seen here:
