Hi im just wondering what are the "edit" odfs for and what do they do?
such as:

"edit_borg"
"edit_dominion"
"edit_federation"
and ect....

I figure it has something to do with the map editor yes? But Im wondering how these work...ahh wait I see now I think....ok new question....if say I wanted to add a dif map background I would have to make an odf for that background corect? such as the argus aray? or if I wanted to add map objects Id have to add them to the edit odfs corect?

you set the map backgrounds in the map options dialog (ctrl + r in map editor). background objects like the argus array are included already in the map editor, you don't have to edit those odfs to get it.

Sorry for my bad grammar....I was asking the question of if I wanted to add more backgorunds I would have to create odfs for them right...and then add them to the editing odfs themselves to make them apear in the editor. In other words the edit odfs are a menu hirearchy corect?

Correct. With editmenu.odf as the root menu.
