Describe the bug

See this example addon:

a player is not supposed to go to the game files and add

"file"      "!particles/pgun_mel.pcf"

just to get the other particles to work

Issue Map

To Reproduce

Create an addon that has custom particles and a particles_manifest.txt the particles_manifest.txt is used to register particles, and the issue is that they don't register because the game doesn't load or mount them, it has no implementation

Operating System

No response

Seems like custom particles are now fixed. I have used a custom particle .pcf and particles_manifest.txt https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3126919597

In summary, every PCF in the particles/ directory will be loaded, but not precached. This only applies to addons using the workshop system; mounted steam games or custom folder "addons" will not have their particles automatically loaded and must still use the manifest.

What happens with standard P2 particles regarding the hierarchy? Let's say I make the Laser emitter particle blue and copy it into the addon folder?
