= Installation options =

CortUI offers various ways of configuring it to your needs. The most fundamental one is which normal HUD and software HUD you choose, but there's more.

== Choosing settings in the installer ==

While running the automatic installer, you will come across the following screen.

== Modifying the settings manually after installation ==

If you want to modify the settings after you have already installed CortUI, you can simply run the installer again. If you do not want to do this yourself, you can also edit the settings file by hand, using any text editor. However, note that a simple mistake like a missing semicolon can (and most likely will) make the game crash.

The settings file can be found in the `artwork` directory of your Allegiance directory and is named `cortui_settings.mdl`. It consists of blocks of a comment and an assignment each.
