A particle is an animation of moving textures to simulate fuzzy effects. The new particle system in San Andreas is slightly different from GTA3 and Vice City. Almost all particle effects are stored in the effects.fxp file in the models folder. You can also attach particle systems to your models using the 3d Studio Max script by DexX, that works also for 2dfx GtaForums topic. For developing your own particle systems, check Jost_Vice's tutorial
