* Effecting particle properties with textures was possible in 2.49, but not in 2.5 anymore. * Now particles have their own textures (available in texture panel for objects with particle systems), which are totally separate from the material textures. * Currently a basic set of particle properties is available for texture control. Some others could still be added, but the whole system is not intended as an "change anything with a texture" as this kind of functionality will be provided with node particles in the future much better. * Combined with the previously added "particle texture coordinates" this new functionality also solves the problem of animating particle properties through the particle lifetime nicely. * Currently the textures only use the intensity of the texture in "multiply" blending mode, so in order for the textures to effect a particle parameter there has to be a non-zero value defined for the parameter in the particle settings. Other blend modes can be added later if they're considered useful enough.
