Use "type" instead of "glow_type", the existing types have not changed. 
Use "warp {turbulence ...}" instead of "turbulence ...". Use "color 
COLOR*GLOW_AMOUNT" for your color, since the glow amount was dropped(it 
was 3 unnecessary multiplications per glow per trace, and wasn't very 
useful). Don't use radius, falloff_exponent, or size, not using them 
will turn them off.(and size doesn't work properly in all situations)

That should be everything...
