The file "CnCTDRAMapEditor.exe.config" contains settings to customise the editor. The file is in xml format, meaning it can be opened in any text editor. This section details what its settings do.
Note that this listing is updated as I develop. If options mentioned in this list do not exist in the settings file, chances are they refer to features that are already implemented in the source code on GitHub, but not yet released in a new version to download.

### Mix content analysis:
Starting from v1.5.1.0, the editor has the ability to open the original games' .mix archives to open the missions inside it. However, the names of the files inside those archives are only stored as hashed numeric values created with a one-way hashing algorithm. This means that, to identify these files, lists of all the original file names are needed. The system to generate these names and their hash values is controlled by a set of ini files, of which the main definitions file is configured in the settings:

* **HashColorLandClear**: The color for cells of the 'Clear' land type. This is the default passable terrain. Defaults to transparent white.

However, the actual color information will be used for placement previews of map templates, to indicate all cells in the shape.

* **HashColorLandRock**: The color for cells of the 'Rock' land type. This is fully impassable terrain. Defaults to dark red.

Outline colors for unowned objects:
An outline will be shown around objects that are partially or fully behind other objects (or always, in the case of the *DefaultOutlineAllCrates* settings). For owned objects, these outlines are given the color of their owners, but for unowned objects, they are editable here. An overlap type can be disabled by adding an alpha factor of 0 in front of the R,G,B color values.
