This is the code that is used in Q3F to create the atmospheric effects in the maps, such as rain and snow. Please keep in mind that this is not a tutorial, only a direct source dump. Thus there is a lack of comments and clarity at some points. (And unless someone can give me a really good reason to change that, it isn't likely to change ;)

All you further need is the little media package available from below. It contains the used shaders and images.
