Use when: particles, .ptc, .emat, ParticleSource, SEffectManager, PlayOnObject, cfgeffectarea, smoke/sparks without Workbench, sandstorm, ceiling dust, ParticleParamsOverrideData, VehicleVFX, IsHeadlessOrDedicatedServer. Client-only .ptc/.emat. Not sound: dayz-sound-system.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# DayZ Particle Effects — Complete Modding Reference ## CRITICAL: .ptc AND .emat ARE PLAIN TEXT DayZ particle files (.ptc) and material files (.emat) are plain text configs, not binary. Custom particles can be created programmatically without Workbench. | Layer | Format | Creatable? | Purpose | |---|---|---|---| | `.ptc` | Plain text config | YES | Particle effect (emitters, physics, curves) | | `.emat` | Plain text config | YES | Material (texture ref, blend mode, color) | | `.edds` | Standard DDS renamed | YES | Billboard sprite texture | | `.meta` | Plain text (GUIDs) | Workbench only | NOT needed for mod runtime | All particles are CLIENT-ONLY. Server controls state via SyncVars; client creates/destroys particles in response. …

How to install
mdr add willy92wins/dayz-modding-knowledge-pack/dayz-particles@sha256:44a29d2c2ff7c44eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.fa4f23e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
