Particles

This message is sent to each client within the first 30 seconds of round start. It informs the client of the different particle systems it will need to create.

String	The name of the particle system (e.g. "ResourceEmission")
Long	Maximum number of particles
Coord	Particle size
String	Particle sprite (e.g. "sprites/flare3.spr")
Coord	Particle system lifetime (-1 == infinate)
Coord	Particle lifetime (-1 == infinate)
Coord	Animation speed
Byte	Animation frames in sprite
Coord	Scale particles over lifetime
Byte	Render mode
Long	Generation rate (particles/sec)
Byte	Generation shape
Long	Generation shape parameter 1
Long	Generation shape parameter 2
Long	Generation shape parameter 3
Long	Generation shape parameter 4
Long	Generation shape parameter 5
Long	Generation shape parameter 6
Long	Generation shape parameter 7
Long	Generation shape parameter 8
Long	Unknown (always -1?)
Coord	Unknown (always 0.0?)
Byte	Starting velocity shape
Long	Starting velocity parameter 1
Long	Starting velocity parameter 2
Long	Starting velocity parameter 3
Long	Starting velocity parameter 4
Long	Starting velocity parameter 5
Long	Starting velocity parameter 6
Long	Starting velocity parameter 7
Long	Starting velocity parameter 8
Coord	Base colour Red
Coord	Base colour Green
Coord	Base colour Blue
Coord	Particle max alpha
Long	Index of the particle system to generate on collision (-1 == none).
Long	Flags

For generation shape, the following values are valid:
0: point
4: box
5: sphere
8: blob

For starting velocity shape, the following values are valid:
1: point
2: box
3: sphere
4: box

For render mode, the following values are valid:
0: Normal
1: Trans color -> (c*a+dest*(1-a))
2: Trans texture -> (src*a+dest*(1-a))
3: Glow -> (normal?)
4: Trans alpha -> (src*srca+dest*(1-srca))
5: Additive -> (src*a+dest)

The valid flags are:
1: start on
2: particle density
4: fade in
8: fade out
16: use world grav
32: tri, not quads
128: constrain pitch
256: collide
512: high-detail only
1024: face up
