This will be quite useful for recreating the Test of Intelligence from 2006's Sonic the Hedgehog.
 

Werewolf

Probably not a real Werewolf

Anyone got recommendations for appropriate sound effects to match these? I'm not sure they even would make a sound, but it feels odd not having any accompanying sounds.

Probably needs a fade in / fade out sound effect for when a wormhole appears / disappears, and then a looping ambient effect while it's open.

I wanted to use these but I can't seem to get them functioning at all.
wormhole.pcf is in tf2/particles/particles along with all the other .pcf files.
I've added a new line to the particles_manifest to include wormhole.pcf and saved it.
I've ensured sv_pure is in fact at 0, and checked for any stupid human errors like spelling mistakes thrice now. I've got the name of the particle system I'm trying correct. "wormhole_purple", but when in-game in a test map the console still insists there was an attempt to create an unknown particle system "wormhole_purple".
I'm able to access and view the wormhole particle systems in the particle editor for tf2, but tf2 still refuses to acknowledge they exist when called upon in-game from an info_particle_system entity.

Is there some niche installation process I'm overlooking when it comes to adding additional custom particles to tf2?
