::* This type of model file is '''''editable''''' in BIS's modelling tool application(s).
::* There are essentially two (2) versions of MLOD model types, '''''SP3X''''' and '''''P3DM'''''.
::* '''''SP3X''''' MLOD version is primarily for use with BIS's Operation Flashpoint game.

::* There are essentailly two (2) versions of ODOL model types, '''''ODOL v7''''' and '''''ODOL v40'''''.
::* '''''ODOL v7''''' model files are the equivalent MLOD SP3X model file converted to compressed or binarized form. The game content released for OFP by BIS is primarily in this format.
::* '''''ODOL v40''''' model files are the equivalent MLOD P3DM model file converted to compressed or binarzied form. The game content released for ArmA by BIS is primarily in this format.
