Game options are controlled by editing text files in the '''data\init''' folder. Anything between a {{K|[}} and a {{K|]}} is a game option, in the form of [OPTION_NAME:OPTION_VALUE]. Everything else is comments which are ignored by the game. For changes to options to take effect in a currently running game, you must save the game and then restore the saved game. Game options apply to all games, so if you have two or more different saved games you switch between, the only way to have different options for each saved game is to edit the options file every time you switch games. | Game options are controlled by editing text files in the '''data\init''' folder.
