Each configuration item has a default setting. If a configuration setting is not specified in the configuration file, PHost uses the default value. A warning message will be displayed for each default assignment when PHost runs (except when a setting is optional). We recommend explicitly writing down all values anyway, to explicitly indicate to players the configuration parameters that are in use for a game.
► Note: The default values are not necessarily optimal, and are not necessarily compatible to the HOST defaults. Most of the time, when a new option is introduced, its default value is set in a way that it doesn't change games not using it. Exceptions to this rule are important bug fixes or widely-requested changes. For details, refer to the Release Notes for the version in question.
