Legacy Particles Support ( muzzle effects )

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.

read the description, it's self-explanatory
this is special required particles for certain guns
still working just fine for me, I guess I don't need the other variations
got some new guns recently and the console was a hot mess
after suddenly remembering this and getting it the console was cleaned

what is actually the purpose of this mod??

Saralchikawa's comment is such an obvious copy paste Táiga XD Just look at how it's formulated. It's written as broadly as possible, with nothing about particles and what not. It's just a troll.

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
