Ok, point taken, but that actually didn't help at all.

How did that not help?

Put
Code:
      ScreenEffect = ContentFile
      FilePath = Base.rte/Effects/Glows/YellowBig.bmp
next to whatever you want to glow

Please, have a soul. Stop the rape.
And @OP- poke around in base.rte, figure it out for yourself.

Ok, here is an example of how to add glows.

Take the MOPixel code used for the blast:

Code:
AddEffect = MOPixel
   InstanceName = MinerJP1
   Mass = 1.25
   LifeTime = 100
   Sharpness = 0.3
   HitsMOs = 1
   GetsHitByMOs = 0
   Color = Color
      R = 5
      G = 75
      B = 255
   Atom = Atom
      Material = Material
         CopyOf = Air
      TrailColor = Color
         R = 5
         G = 75
         B = 255
      TrailLength = 5


Ok, so you found this code. Now, you want to add this code at the very bottom of the code for the MOPixel:

Code:
   ScreenEffect = ContentFile
      FilePath = Base.rte/Effects/Glows/YellowBig.bmp
   EffectStartTime = 25
   EffectStopTime = 100
   EffectStartStrength = 1.0
   EffectStopStrength = 0.5


So in the end, it should look like this:

Code:
AddEffect = MOPixel
   InstanceName = MinerJP1
   Mass = 1.25
   LifeTime = 100
   Sharpness = 0.3
   HitsMOs = 1
   GetsHitByMOs = 0
   Color = Color
      R = 5
      G = 75
      B = 255
   Atom = Atom
      Material = Material
         CopyOf = Air
      TrailColor = Color
         R = 5
         G = 75
         B = 255
      TrailLength = 5
   ScreenEffect = ContentFile
      FilePath = Base.rte/Effects/Glows/YellowBig.bmp
   EffectStartTime = 25
   EffectStopTime = 100
   EffectStartStrength = 1.0
   EffectStopStrength = 0.5


And, of course you can play around with the timing, strength, lifetime, and filepath for the glow.

Well, I effectively want a shining ball of white that floats through the air, so, for as long as the projectile lasts, white, and really bight.
