Have you see my comment in my plugin ? I quote you.
By the way, You don't need precache any files if you use particles, If you use your custom particles you need to precache it and add it to downloads table.

Now i just need to know how to view the sprites that can be used

Umm, Talk with me on private or add me on steam, if you want perform custom effects I got another ways, Not sure if my particle works on custom effects if you don't add to downloads table and precache it.

You can't just 'precache' it at cs:s.

Huh, so I have no idea :\ If CS:S got another thing to precache things like PrecacheModel it would work for you I guess.

No,precachemodel will not work at all,even cs:go.
PrecacheGeneric works at cs:go,but not at cs:s.

I have no idea how to do it on csgo, PrecacheModel will work as I tried with my trails at TF2, I can spawn my trail as particle too...
