So I found that particle systems where simply not working in Gmod some times and giving errors.
Well I looked in Gmod particle_manifest.txt and there where allot of lines missing, so I took the liberty to look around for the "particle_manifest.txt" files of other games... and put them all into one big particle_manifest.txt for gmod.
Here is what I have so far, feel free to add to it if you think some thing is missing.

To install just go to your common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\particles directory and replace the particles_manifest.txt with the one above.
Is it possible to send that text file to clients when they are joining? Because people who don't have the fix won't be able to see the effects on my server.
