How do I make rockets have a huge explosion on impact

I'm trying to make an apocalypse type weapon that shoots off about 80 rockets all of which have huge explosions. I have had no problem with all the rockets I need to shoot off and their damage, but the explosion they make is not quite the size I want. I'm assuming I need to change this line of the odf (rep_weap_inf_torpedo_launcher_exp)

Effect = "com_sfx_weap_flame_exp_md"

Here's the entire odf
Hidden/Spoiler:
[ExplosionClass]
ClassLabel = "explosion"

[Properties]
WaterEffect = "watersplash_lg"

Damage = "820.0"

DamageRadiusInner = "1.75"
DamageRadiusOuter = "8.0"

Push = "400.0"
PushRadiusInner = "3.75"
PushRadiusOuter = "12.75"

Shake = "4.5"
ShakeLength = "1.60"
ShakeRadiusInner = "10.0"
ShakeRadiusOuter = "22.0"

Effect = "com_sfx_weap_flame_exp_md"
LightColor = "155 120 200 155"
LightRadius = "7.0"
LightDuration = "1.0"

VehicleScale = "1.0"
PersonScale = "1.0"
DroidScale = "1.0"
BuildingScale = "1.25"
AnimalScale = "1.0"

SoundProperty = "com_weap_rocket_small_exp"

Choose a bigger effect?

ToolsFL
something like that is the name of a folder inside your main BFBuilder folder
In there 'some where' are two executable files and one is named something about effects.
(sorry don't remember the name right now)
If you have the proper files in the right place, you can open that effect program and make your own effects!
There is info on this a few places, like the SWBF modders tutorial and
an updated for the exe at the secretsociety website.

When you browse through which effect you want to watch in the effect editor, those are all the files that ship with the game and if you find one you like, copy the name into your explosion.
:D Hope this helps
