Let me warn you, making effects files is no simple task. Neither is it a quick one. You might find yourself going back and forth between the effects you're working on and the tutorial you are reading from.

Before you ask, don't ask me how do you start. I don't know diddly squat about effects files [I only know how to link them to an addon].

The key to understanding effects files is knowing what parameter produces what visible effect in the sim. There's no quick way through it, I'm afraid. You don't need any special software (Notepad will edit .fx files perfectly well) but you do need to get familiar with the file construction. The Effects SDK will help, but you'll need to get your hands dirty by playing around with one and seeing what the changes you make actually do.
