Important!
This mod will not be run on 3.8.0 nor on 19.0.0 RCs. You should try to play this mod on a recent nightly, which are not produced during RC period, so you need to compile one yourself, or use the post-19.0.0.
Furthermore, the gr.createParticle lua function is deprecreated at 19.0.0, so a fix in the MediaVPs is expected soon. In the meantime, create a script file that replaces that function with gr.createPersistentParticle and place it in the data folder of the MediaVPs folder.
