Something I noticed. You're using the forward slash instead of a question mark... the params redirect would normally look like this:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?params=$1 [L,QSA]

This should work by itself since any of those files *should* be real files.

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php    

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?params=$1 [L,QSA]

To have the site ignore specific extensions you can add a condition to ignore case and only check the end of the filenames in the request:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.css|\.js|\.png|\.jpg|\.gif|robots\.txt)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?params=$1 [L,QSA]

If you're trying to ignore a folder then you could add:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(public|css)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.css|\.js|\.png|\.jpg|\.gif|robots\.txt)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?params=$1 [L,QSA]
