ParticleSystems

This page should correctly be named "[ParticleSystems]"; it is wrong due to technical restrictions.

[ParticleSystems] is a section of rules(md).ini, listing the available particle systems to the game. If a system isn't listed, it doesn't get initialized and therefore isn't usable.

Applicable INI Flags

These tables show all INI flags applicable¹ to ParticleSystems. The flags are grouped by the internal classes the flags are inherited from, and then listed in the order they are read in by the game. You can re-sort the rows by column values by clicking the arrow icons in the column headings. Each flag can be clicked to visit its page for detailed information.

Please note that this section is accurate only for Yuri's Revenge. All other C&C games use different sets of flags.

¹ ↑ "Applicable" in this context means "read from the INI files". Certain flags listed here don't have any effect ingame , but they are read and in certain cases cause a crash if not present. Again, refer to each flag's individual page for detailed information.
