[edit] Overview
There are several settings of a running game, that can be dynamically adjusted by the game host.
This is usually done by using an external application. The complete package that you can download from http://www.planets4.com includes the HConfig.exe application for that task. However the latest settings introduced in Host 211 and later are not supported by this program. I suggest using the 3rd party application HConfig2 instead.
The settings are stored in a file named "gX.fig" (X is game number) in the same directory as the universe file.
Settings with range "0/1" are ON/OFF switches.
