Beginning in 1.14, the simulator will be using llParticleSystem to emulate legacy llMakeExplosion particles.

                float particle_scale,

//    Known discrepancies:
//    1) The original llMakeExplosion has random particle lifetime, which cannot be
//       created in the current particle system via a single call
//    2) The original llMakeExplosion has continual particle growth throughout its
//       lifetime, ending well past the 4m limit of the current system, on long lived
//       particles
//    3) the 'arc' defined in the original particle system seems to orient along the
//       X axis, the angles of the current particle system orient along the Z axis
//    4) several values are not taken 'verbatim' in the original particle system
//       (velocity is not m/sec for instance, and number of particles seems to be
//       wildly off), these are approximated loosely in this simulation via basic
//       divisors, which may not work out the same in some scenarios
//    5) There is no way to duplicate the offset from the old functions within the
//       new particle system
