+Ultra Particle: Custom Melee Trail

Replaces steamworks.pcf
Allow custom melee weapons to create many color trailing effects. This is only the base particle, it doesn't actually just give your existing weapon melee trail effects, it must be added to animation sequences (only useful for modders).

The bolded text is what you needed to add, it will create the particle on frame 2 of the animation, effect name is weapon_melee_blue_laser, and it will be created at attachment named "attach_blur"

The attachment may need to be rotated to align with the blade so the beam effect can be angled correctly, otherwise it would look bad
