None that i can see, but TE_FIREFIELD might be useful to you.

Can't set the proper render, can't define a good framerate.

No way at all of doing it with server-sided entities?

[Solokiller]

You can do it with server side entities if you keep the entity count and update rate low enough. It isn't realistic to have expensive effects running constantly on the server in this engine.
If you have access to the game/mod's code you can add new network messages to do this, but this is for CS so that's a no.

And I was trying to replicate Source engine fire effects...
I'm gonna try and work with what I've got then.
Which are the best sprite messages I could use to specify as many entity properties as possible?

TE_SPRAY is the only temp entity effect i can find that supports render modes.

pfnParticleEffect is the only engine function that allows the creation of effects.

I'm not seeing any other messages or functions that can create effects, so if this isn't enough, i'm afraid you're out of luck. Replicating Source's particle effects simply isn't possible with such a limited engine.

The only other thing you can try is making a model that contains the effects, then spawning that. You lose random movement (unless you make multiple animations), but you'll be able to create more complex effects.

It doesn't do what I want. It has gravity and it doesn't go where I want it.
Seems like I'll stick to spamming TE_SPRITE.
Thanks for all your help. If you want the current source code, PM me.
