Requires:
FakeMeta
HamSandWich


Additional info:
Tested in Counter-Strike 1.6 with amxmodx 1.8.1 (with and without 16 bit). Special thanks to xPaw for helping me in tests. "sgren_features_svcbad" is a version for laggy servers what are getting svc_bad errors (for servers what have big plugins likes: GunGame, Warcraft3, DeathMatch, VipPlugin...). "sgren_features_svcbad2" is for servers where even "sgren_features_svcbad" gives svc_bad errors.
Also you can control svc_bad of this plugin in plugin source code config.


Notes:
Yes, I know that this effect doesn't look so well. And most of you think that smoke should be silver. However in real life smoke grenades can have any colors, so this white smoke doesn't make it unrealistic. And no - I will not change it to silver, cause in that case plugin will have to make much more than it does now, what even can result it to reach half-life entity limit what will result in server crash. Now it uses messages and not entities to make smoke, what means that half-life engine automatically checks the limit, so server wont crash.


Warnings:
* Using "sgren_features_svcbad2" version will result in twice big smokepuffs, what means that they will go through walls and will be more ugly than in other versions (use it only when you are sure that "sgren_features_svcbad" version is causing svc_bad errors on your server)!
* Use only one version of plugin at one time... How to check what version fits you best: install "sgren_features" and change the map (play a bit with other players using as much smoke grenades as you can); if after you get SVC_BAD errors - than delete "sgren_features", install "sgren_features_svcbad" and change the map (play a bit with other players using as much smoke grenades as you can); even if after that you are still getting SVC_BAD errors, delete "sgren_features_svcbad", install "sgren_features_svcbad2" and change the map (play a bit with other players using as much smoke grenades as you can); even if after that you get massive reports of SVC_BAD - well... In that case you have to uninstall the plugin from the server and try using as less plugins as possible, cause server resources are extremely limited and/or you are using some really bad plugin what eats almost all server resources and you should be amazed that server is working at all.
