Modifying ODF's is a large part of modding in Armada II.  The ODF (or Object Definition File) contains pretty much everything about ships and weapons in the game. How these .ODFs interact with each other determine how the game is played, based on numerical values and specified rules (called "classLabels" or "hard-coding") which cannot be modified. The tutorials under this section should teach you to edit any ODF in the game.
