either use the UberLightmapTool
or
Open ur map in dothalo, (make sure the shared.map and mainmenu.map are in the same folder as your map)
goto [bitm] -> select a bitmap
In the 'raw data editor' window; extract the image, open it in photoshop with the .dds plugin, then edit away
when saving make sure u save it as a .dds and the same DXT
Inject the image in the 'raw data editor' window

The shader has a special field for the glow effect, you could research and find this value. But I suggest duplicating an existing shader tag and using that for the ground, or import a shader that would suit your mod. For example, if you wanted dirt you could use coagulation_ground shader and edit the bitmaps to your liking.
