Graphics - Particle Engine

[Stuart Walpole]

• Basic particle engine is in the game, provided by Will Dull, with a constant emitter.

• Needs to be picked up to allow creation of XML-based particle effects, using editor to tweak properties, and have them broadcast from locations in the game (either placed as particle objects, or attached to actors in prop sockets).

• Often particles can appear conditionally (eg smoke and flame trails on a building when it is damaged) or when a unit is splashing through water.
