Options file structure

Overview

Issue 12 introduced the ability to save in-game options. This article aims to document the format/syntax of the text files created. The /option_save and /option_save path commands save a text file, either in the installation folder or to a specified file path. The contents of the file depends on what has been set in the Options Window.
