Atmospheric And Effect

Functions for dealing with atmospherics and effects.

Save/RestoreAtmosphericNames: Two functions that save and restore the names of the current atmospherics.
Save/RestoreEffectNames: Two functions that save and restore the names of the current render effects.
Save/RestoreSpecialFXNames: Two functions that save and restore the names of both the current atmospherics AND effects.

Save/RestoreAtmosphericNames:

none

Save/RestoreSpecialFXNames:

Calls both Save/RestoreEffectNames() and Save/RestoreAtmosphericNames() at once.
