Using vectors in particles without a generator was causing the message describing the particle set to become garbled, causing rendering issues on the client.

Particles break a bit when position is set as a vector.
There are 3 verbs, the only difference between the 3 is how the position var is
set on each particle set: lines 26, 51, 76 in particles.dm
The set triggered by vector-pos should be exactly the same as the one
triggered with list-pos.
(prolly coulda named the particle sets better, but oh well)
This was built on 1652, btw.
present in 1654 as well
