Removing Paint Particles

[rkynick]

This would save MANY datablocks, so please, is there any way to remove the paint particles and replace them with one universal paint particle?
As for why I want datablocks, well I want to be able to enable a few more things at once. For the time being, Ima clear out my add-ons and get rid of some things. I feel my server needs more simplicity, but I want this mod because It would widen margins that I hate for being so small.

Btw this is my first suggestion.( I think)

Reasonable ill ask space, alo, or geek about it.

I'm making/testing code right now. It makes all the paintcans (not FX) use the Rainbow particles/explosion and deletes the other effects. It still has the projectile and weaponimage for both, if I managed to delete them you could save 128 or so datablocks. (If you had a full paint set)

You could always disable a few add-ons. Try not to download stupid vehicles which include a Support_ file which creates a lot of datablocks already existing in the Jeep, but under new names, or weapons which use exactly the same effects as the Gun but rename them. (For Dual Guns I used "copied" datablocks i.e. forcing exec of Gun, removing it from menu if add-on is disabled, and using most of those datablocks)

EDIT: Aargh, it crashes the game when you paint stuff. (Projectile hit not when you get it out) Abnormal Program termination...

  shapefile = %s;

 a.setName("color" @ %i @ "sprayCanImage");
  nameToId("color" @ %i @ "paintEmitter").delete();
  nameToId("color" @ %i @ "paintParticle").delete();
  nameToId("color" @ %i @ "paintExplosion").delete();
  }
 }
