While reading the wiki, I noticed that is very absent (at least I don't found) information on the particle effects, that affect everything in the game (some non-Rushhour vehicles are effects, for example the jet fighters, all clouds, fog and other weather effects are particles, soccer teams inside the stadium are particles, and smoke, fire, etc... are particles too).

And then, I found this by accident: https://web.archive.org/web/20021007090557/http://simcity.ea.com/dev/effects4.html

Anyone found out where the scripts in the style of that article are stored in the .dat?

Gizmo when he was an active did do some work on effects I can't remember now if he created new ones or re-used old ones, but his work is still available on his site.
