Custom particles won't show up.

A friend made two custom particle effects for me but they won't show up in game and the console reports "
Attempting to create unknown particle system 'pop_parent'

But I'm pretty sure I didn't make a mistake setting them up.
This is how my files in the tf folder look like
This is how they look in the particle viewer
And here the settings of the info_particle_system

Of course I'm playing the test.bsp map and I want to use pop_parent and qd_parent as the other effects are parented to it.

Did I make a mistake anywhere? Or do we need to do something else to make them useable?

Did you create a particle manifest named (yourmapnamehere)_particles.txt?

You are missing proper path from the mapname_particles.txt. Should be particles/yourparticlename.pcf

Ah that was it. I compared it so many times how I set up particles in older maps and but somehow just didn't noticed that >_>
