	Long War has made it easy for individual users to tweak parts of the game for their own preference. Unless otherwise noted, code changes occur in the <code>DefaultGameCore.ini</code> file; this is commonly referred to as the DGC.ini. For a typical Windows user, this file can be found at <code>C:/Program Files x86/Steam/SteamApps/common(OR your username)/XCom-enemy-unknown/XEW/XComGame/Config</code>. It is recommended that you download and use '''Notepad++''' to alter defaultgamecore.ini because it is visually easier to use and numbers the lines (which may be referenced in this page).

	It may be the case that 90 degrees is too small of an arc for cover to provide full protection, so we can cut the aiming angle down to 30 degrees. This gives your cover a 120 degree arc in which it provides full protection, so you can easily fight enemies so long as you're not stupid about picking your cover.

	With the release of B15, the code required for a pistol slot Arc Thrower is included in the DGC.ini. To make the change, all you need to do is comment out (add a ";") the default line for the arc thrower and remove the comment located several lines lower. Essentially you tell the game to stop reading the default line of arc thrower code and begin reading the pre-built code enabling the pistol slot. It is explained in the comments of the DGC.ini.

	Another useful tool is the free software '''WinMerge'''. WinMerge allows you to open two text files (like the DGC.ini) side by side and compare differences between them. This is useful when Long War is updated. To easily preserve the custom modifications you did on a previous version, open a backup copy of your old DGC.ini and the new updated version DGC.ini. WinMerge will help you quickly identify differences and apply all your previous modifications to the new Long War version.		Another useful tool is the free software '''WinMerge'''.

	Note for OS X users, you will need to modify <code>XComGameCore.ini</code>, which is located at <code>~/Library/Application Support/Feral Interactive/XCOM Enemy Unknown/XEW/MacInit/XComGameCore.ini</code>. Some users suggest that you update <code>~/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/XCom-Enemy-Unknown/XCOMData/XEW/XComGame/Config/DefaultGameCore.ini</code> as well to be safe.
