Just uploaded a version that adds:
Code:
sm_themes_particles [0/1]
Whether or not to use custom particles
To those that are having problems related to particles and other files not precaching: can you confirm whether or not you are actually downloading the particles? For particles to work correctly your local TF2 folder (under steamapps) must have:
Code:
particles/custom_particles001.pcf
maps/<map_name>_particles.txt
If either are missing the particles will not be able to load. I am guessing that the problem is related to <map_name>_particles.txt. Open a few of them and check they are not corrupted (one common problem is the fastdownload serving a 404 page instead of the correct file). In any case, try deleting all these local files and reconnecting to your server.
Regarding long load times and snapshot overflows, I honestly have no idea. There is a reasonable amount of processing in the map start event in order to parse the config files, along with creating all of the particles, etc. I personally haven't experienced any major issues although my server isn't particularly popular. I still don't see why the server would refuse all connections though.

Yes.
