"Where on the client side are the SVC_TEMPENTITY type message picked up and handled?" They are in the engine. You don't have access to the temporary entity effects code. You can look through the Quake I source code (ftp.idsoftware.com) to see how the original Quake I TE_ effects were done. You send the TE_ network messages from the server to the client using MESSAGE_BEGIN(), WRITE_BYTE(), WRITE_LONG(), MESSAGE_END(), etc. There are examples in the SDK source code of sending temporary entity effects to the client. Just do a case sensitive search for "TE_" to find them.
