Config.dat
From X-Moto
config.dat is the file which holds all configuration options for Xmoto. On Windows you'll find the file in the game installation directory and on Unix-like systems you'll find it in the ~/.xmoto directory.
It's a simple XML file with a <var> element for each configuration option:
<var name="..." value="..."/>
Many of the options are accessible from inside the game, but some of the more obscure ones need to be editited directly in the config.dat file. Below is a table of all current configuration variables.
