The Secret Life of Gameconfig.xml

Unfortunately there isn't much documentation on the vanilla version of gameconfig.xml and just as little on the modded versions. Without documentation, was the mod created by trial and error? Only the authors know for sure and they're not sharing their secrets or we never asked them.

 

 

The good news is that both the game and the mod version are just plain text files. Using a free text editor such as Notepad++ you can strip the comments out and also blank lines and then use a free utility such as WinMerge to do side by side comparisons. The bad news, very bad news, is that there are thousands of lines to sift through without knowing exactly how each one will impact your game.

When you do that you can clearly see a process of increasing values on selected parameters. Are these values the sweetspots? Who knows. I'll be investigating further when i have a chance so follow along if you're still interested.
