When objects/surfaces are shot at when you first startup ren,
decals will appear, but the emitters for those surfaces won't appear until they're shot at for a couple more seconds.
TT should make ren read every emitter (w3ds that start with e_) and preload them when you start a game. It'll take a little longer to load a map, but it'll look better ingame.

Yeah, ren should read all the E_ w3ds in its directory/dat files;
my ren loads up in a flat 4 sec with max settings. Making the load time 6 or 7 seconds, for the emitters to preload is a good trade-off.

If it reduces any FPS lag, too, that'd be fantastic. High amounts of emitters can still cause a lot of FPS lag, which is annoying.

Not really; Renegade actually had a system built in for handling this exact issue, but it was "broken" in an earlier script version (on purpose, actually, because it massively improved load times at the time.) It's controlled via the "Dependency" tab in LevelEdit and causes any dependent assets to be loaded at the same time reducing visual artifacts caused by on-demand loading (such as the one you described). It also reduces FPS lag caused by the same reason in-game by moving it to load time instead.
