[B]BEFORE READING: FORGIVE ME ABOUT MY HORRIBLE SPELLING, I TRIED MY BEST! c:[/B]

Hello guys, well this is kinda weird to ask but anyways i'll go ahead...

I don't know if many of you remember "Magenta/Zoey/Wizey.." actually kinda hard to forget...

I've found an addon created by he/she/it called "Bioshock Plasmids" of course that was taken down from the workshop due to malicious code, etc...

After a few days of research i found a .zip that contains that beautiful code ( sarcasm off ), i organize the code, remove the malicious code part but now im working on the particles...

First time i joined, i saw this: (Cyclone Weapon)

I was scared, to be honest... i thought like uhm this is pretty cool... do i need HL-EP2? i tried downloading it and nothing.... #sadface...
After a few minutes of thinking i tried using Particles editor and GOOD NEWS! Our hand is okay now... since i replace the smoke particle for an existant one of "hlep2"

The big deal question is:
The other weapons have in their effects particles called Electric1.... (ok i tried searching those particles and i found this awesome place [url]http://tf.boundarygamers.com/dls/materials/effects/[/url] ) ok so i tried adding those particles to hl2 ( since i don't have knowledge about this, i just drop the effect into: Half-Life 2/ep2/materials/particle and the system loaded the particle, i was able to select that particle in the "Particle's Editor"...

After i select the "particle...." it has like a black-purple overlay.

The main question here is: How do i add/implement custom particles into this? i would love to bring this to life

Thanks!

Edit:

Hand Effects use a vmt called Electric1, i tried installing it, and as you can see it looks like "purple-black"
