effect NAME				// unique desired name of the effect
type	alphastatic/static/spark/beam/
	rain/raindecal/snow/bubble/
	blood/decal/entityparticle	// type of particle to spawn (defines some aspects of behavior)
count f					// total count of particles to create
countabsolute f				// absolute total particles to ever create
color h h (HEX)				// range of colors to choose from in hex RRGGBB (like HTML color tags), randomly interpolated at spawn
tex i i 				// a random texture is chosen in this range (note the second value is one past the last choosable
					// so for example 8,16 chooses any from 8 up and including 15) if start and end of the range are the same
					// no randomization is done
size start end timescale (floats)	// range of size values randomly chosen when spawning
sizeincrease f				// size increase over time
alpha start end ?			// range of alpha values randomly chosen when spawning, plus alpha fade
time f f				// how long the particle should live (note it is also removed if alpha drops to 0)
gravity f				// how much gravity affects this particle (negative makes it fly up!)
bounce f				// how much bounce the particle has when it hits a surface, if negative the particle is removed on impact
airfriction f				// if in air this friction is applied, if negative the particle accelerates
liquidfriction f			// if in liquid (water/slime/lava) this friction is applied, if negative the particle accelerates
originoffset x y z			// origin offset from the original origin
velocityoffset x y z			// velocity offset from the original velocity
originjitter x y z			// random origin for the particle to be spawned at
velocityjitter x y z			// random velocity for the particle to have
velocitymultiplier x			// velocity multiplier
lightradius f				// an effect can also spawn a dlight, light radius
lightradiusfade f			// light falloff
lighttime f				// duration of the light
lightcolor r g b (floats)		// light colour
lightshadow i				// if the light casts shadows
lightcubemapnum i			// cubemap to use for the light
underwater				// effect is for underwater only
notunderwater				// effect is for out of water only
trailspacing f				// causes the particle to spawn in an evenly spaced line from originmins to originmaxs
					// (causing them to describe a trail, not a box)
