L4D2 ONLY
Description
Adds glow to equipped items (visible by all teams) and restores the default glow config back on item drop.

Besides all settings only the weapons below are able to set some configs, like the glow color:
- Gascan
- Propane Canister
- Oxygen Tank
- Fireworks Crate
For the other items, it glows but only with the default (blue) glow and aren't affected by settings like flashing or color.
Features- Allow to add a glow to equipped items.
- Allow to set the glow type, color, flashing and range for some weapons.
- Allow configuring the glow brightness. (not accurate)
