How do yo edit .Ale files?

Currently I am in deep developement of a mod desinged to bring the order back into the game without making if feel like a been there done that, possibly this means the inclusion of two new "story missions", however I need to understand how to create new effects for this or it will never come to be more than this thread.
I understand you edit them using the excellent utf decompiler program, but I don't have a clue as to what all the data floating aroung in there means.
Any help is gadly received, thank you.

I'm currently working on decoding ALE files and will post documentation in a few days - the format was never decoded and so there is no software or documentation yet on how to edit them to create new effects.
