It seems to start with a name and end with an effect and contain a number of effect parameters start with e_ which may or may not have a parameter before them in the file. Pretty much what you had except that there seems to be an e_TextureDiffuse0 texture for all of them which I guess will do as a base texture for the material for simple rendereing.

The effects exist as files in the RenderEffects directory on disk. I would guess that they might be encoded directx effects files and the material information in the TER file describes the parameters to them.
*blinks* Um... you're right... congrats... lol

Damn man... I can't believe I didn't see that before. Nice work
