This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- It's not an easily solvable problem otherwise we wouldn't have asked. Anyway until Rain posts the code the most i can do is attatch the testmod with the added particle explosion effects. Just load up any map ad use explosive weapons and use net_graph to take a note of the frame rate. This version currently uses 5 particles per explosion and the frame rate drop from 70 to 40 on my machine even now. Put more than 2 blasts near to each other for the most obvious effect though.
Let's hope that attachments work on this list.
