Ok. To add your new partical to MP goto you
\data\database\particles folder and in there is is a txt file called particles. Open this up. Now copy one of the things :[muzzle1]
{
[Properties]
Sorting = false;
Looping = false;
InitialUpdateLength = 0.0;
InvisibleTimeout = PS_TIMEOUT ;
AdultContent = false;
AvailableInDetailLevels = ID_DETAIL_LEVELS_ALL;

[Default]
filename = flash\muzzle1.rps;
ItemsToCache = 1;
}

Now you said a steath dash so let's change it to...:

[stealthdash]
//Note that this is the name you will use in the skin or skeleton txt files. Even though the thing maybe called dash.rps, it looks for this name when you call for the FX
{
[Properties]
Sorting = false;
//Don't know what this does yet
Looping = false;
// Loops thing
InitialUpdateLength = 0.0;
InvisibleTimeout = PS_TIMEOUT ;
AdultContent = false;
AvailableInDetailLevels = ID_DETAIL_LEVELS_ALL;

[Default]
filename = flash\muzzle1.rps;
=================================
VERY important. Directed to were you have your FX at in your mod folder. So in the partical folder make a folder called mine, so you will do
filename = mine\dash.rps;
=================================
ItemsToCache = 1;
}

Now if you want it so that when max moves it plays this FX do this in max_payne.txt in the skin folder

[Animation] Index = CHARANIM_RUN; Filename = anim\run.kf2;
[Properties]
{
[Movement] EndPosition = (0,0, PLAYER_MOVEMENT ); Rotation = (0,0,0);
[Message] Frame = 0; String = "this->C_setidle(0,false);";
[Message] Frame = 0; String = "maxpayne_gamemode->gm_setplayercontrols( true );";
[Message] Frame = 12; String = "this->P_Createprojectiletobone(dummy_footstep_right,1,fo ot-r);";
[Message] Frame = 32; String = "this->P_Createprojectiletobone(dummy_footstep_left,1,foo t-l );";
[Message] Frame = 0; String = "this->PS_StartEffect ( stealthdash, Torso );"; // NEW
}


Ok. That should do it. Good Luck
