M2TW .cfg file variables/parameters list

[adonys]

Bellow you'll find M2TW's .cfg file variables/parameters names. Most of them are already known (if you have a look at M2TW's original .cfg file), but there are a lot of hidden ones, with a few surprisez between them..

In order to use them, you'll have to make a backup copy of the original .cfg file (in case you mess anything), then a working copy (as the "unwelcomed" modifications you'll make will be deleted after you'll exit from the game).

A parameter's name is given in the <section_name>.<parameter_name> format, which means you'll have to add the <parameter_name = <value>> into the section_name .cfg's section (for example the misc.unlock_campaign parameter must be put in the .cfg file like this:

[misc]
unlock_campaign = 1

if the section doesn't exists, just add it)

I think this is everything I can find at this hour. It's too late to can work over it anymore (past 3Am in here), but there are some interesting things which can be noted from them:

1) there seems that CA worked for a strategic map multiplayer hotseat mode of the game!!! the multiplayer.playable variable seems to be used to enable it (but it doesn't work atm), while multiplayer.hotseat_disable_papal_elections and multiplayer.hotseat_autoresolve_battles variables clearely point that there was (at least some) work done for a strategic map multiplayer hotseat mode
