Bridge Pack TGEA patch

I updated the Bridge Pack for TGEA users. Available in the store for the same price and as a patch for those who already purchased it (4$);

Now, something about shaders and specularity in particular; The materials in this pack/patch have a decent amount of specularity using the regular baseTex combined with the bumpTex; Since the advent of normal maps and the rest of the carnival, I have seen people over using specular and normal maps; My approach is simple and logical - unless the object is wet or made of glass/metal - high specular values are not welcome. Examples can be found in many games today; normal maps are created via batch commands from diffuse textures in complete disregard to what a normal map should actually do.

So if anyone feels like adding extra specularity to the models, here's what you need to add to the material

After the first pass:

baseTex[0]       = "demo/data/shapes/........";
bumpTex[0]       = "demo/data/shapes/........";

add a second pass in the shader:

pixelSpecular[1] = true;
specular[1]      = "0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5";
specularPower[1] = 32.0;

I will eventually add an entire section to the website regarding art creation with TGE/TGEA.
