For some reason, particles from Frontline won't work.
I did a my_map_manifest (with my_map being my map ofc) with the Particles listed in them, this is what it looks like

particles_manifest
{
"file""!particles/wartime_explosions.pcf"
"file""!particles/wartime_tank_fx.pcf"
}

When they are supposed to show up, the console just says "trying to create unknown particle etc."
Any idea on what i did wrong?

Your particle manifest should be called yourmapname_particles.txt, not yourmapname_manifest.txt. The YOURMAP_manifest.txt file that they provided as a template is wrong. It should be YOURMAP_particles.txt.

I'm having a problem with the particles.
I was using the frontline demo map and every time I push the cart to the first cap point the payload will shoot but the particles won't show. I am new to hammer so if anyone can help please explain it easily.

EDIT: I found out what to do but i'm stuck where I don't know where to put the (yourmapname_particles.txt) file and the (YOURMAP_particles.txt) at? if anyone can help please help!

EDIT EDIT!!! nvm I figured it out
