Ok... I've come to a lil standstill in weapon modding - sure, effects.ini, beam_effects.ini, and co. are fine & dandy, but how can i make my own effects?

I know it has something to do with the *.ale's and *.txm's but I have no way to open these/don't have the tools... If someone can point me in the right direction or bang me on the head and say 'That ain't possible', it'd be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
