Description

to everyone asking about FOV slider: it's from this or this mods

Important: for modders. Previous conflicts now have been resolved by changing material paths, but still, if you want to reuse some of the effects here, please, do make effort to completely rename all effect names and material paths when doing so, so that materials don't conflict and effects don't overwrite each other.

FAQ:
- What is this?
These are custom particle effects that are used by certain weapon mods, like weapon models by Lt.Rocky,Dr.Haus, and others.
- What does it do?
Itself alone, it doesn't do anything. Think of it as an extension to those mods that use it... it only contains custom effects that some mods use.
- ---

Status Update:
Currently, the mod is ~50% updated. Some effects like smoke are still need some tweaking.
If you find any problems, bugs, suggestions, please provide details when reporting / commenting on those.
Please understand that I have no control over other people's mods, and how they use the effects, so there's no way of predicting how it will look on different weapon releases.

History: As far as I know, initially, these effects come from CS:Source and they were made by someone who went by name of Zira. Then another modder, Dr.Haus, had the initiative to port them over to L4D2. I stepped in at some point because of my hand in particles and it was advantageous to combine all effects in one mod to avoid conflicts. At this point, I have quit modding and no longer support or update any of my mods.

Never crashed because of this mod while playing over a hundred of custom campaigns with a lot of other mods and maxed out graphics (I have a video of every campaign I have played if you do not believe me. The weapon mods I used had the muzzle effects from this mod — I added them to every weapon myself), but sure did because of high-poly models of certain weapon mods that were not optimised yet (like the HQ G3). As a modder myself, I do not understand how a mod that only adds support for visual effects and does nothing on its own if you do not have a weapon mod that uses the effects from this mod can cause crashes for some people
Please, do not take my message as an offence, but a tiny particles mod just cannot make the game crash as if it was overloaded with tons of very heavy models (over 16,000 vertices per SMD/64,000 per MDL) or oversized textures (over 4K). Possibly there is more to it than just this tiny mod

WARNING! - THIS MOD IS MOST LIKELY THE REASON FOR YOUR GAME TO CRASH!.
i have this mod installed for only a week and noticed a very peculiar times when my game Force Closes most of the time, i've always wondered if it was just my pc being such a shitty build but no, when i try spending HOURS removing 1 mod and try a game every time, this mod was the only one that made my game stopped crashing after Disabling, Outdated as hell and ruins your game.

这是一个武器特效材质包，一些模组会用到他里面的特效，相当于一个前置文件，就像很多动作模组需要xdr为前置才行。
你们别乱说了行不行，简介是干什么吃的？

this mod will let A LOT custom map crash if setting game shader detail to high, and conflict with some mod without red text warning, think twice before sub.
