1. post your config: launch JSGME. Tasks-Export to-Clipboard. then Paste that here (ctrl+v)
2. post a pic or two so that others can understand what you are experiencing. you will probably need to use an image share site to do that. there are many available at no charge. i use imgbb.com. register and go.

This is caused by the game rendering the border of the explosion graphic. Basically, the Alpha Channel is not working properly. The Alpha Channel is the greyscale channel that gives explosions/other effects their "wispy" cloud shape and transparency.. You will need to disable any mods that change the explosions... or you can edit the explosions yourself. You can edit the explosion in Adobe Photoshop or a similar program. The whole border around each frame of the explosion graphic needs to be black (transparent) and not white (opaque). I have included a Baza_FX explosion graphic used in a SH4 mod....see my screenshot.

Also, in Silent 3d editor, you need may need to click on the material and check the "enable alpha blend" option.



There are quite a few explosion graphics, but if you post a screenshot of the faulty explosion I can probably tell you the exact filename of the .tga or .dds image that is responsible for the problem.
