little help..please RE:explosions

Hello, I'm still fairly new to modding and honest, I have tried searching for the answer, though I havent read the 'entire' newbie faq, that many pages and no idea what point is going to appear where takes ages and ages of sifting, couldnt the modding be better subdivided for easy reference?
I've also tried a few of the 'how to' files and lets just say i'm sick of insulting tones and capital letters.
(I do know this topic is or was covered somewhere else, but I found it by accident while searching for something unrelated and cannot find it again)

Now onto my question.
I need a big explosion, Ive achieved a nice blast radius, but no visual flash or explosion, at least, not of the size equal to the blast radius. Do i have to go into the visual files to make this or can it be done by editing the ini files (of which Ive tried many times)?

It just doesnt feel right seeing things explode without being engulfed in a nice large fireball first.

I think explosions are contained in .ale files, which are a no-go, as far as I know.

Ah, thank you...no one cracked them then? i'm a little surprised as every other file seems to have been decoded in some way.. the dlls, the Bini's etc.

Thank you for your help anyhow
