Validation
See Validation.
Custom
These settings configure custom arenas. (I think?)
ArenaMode
Datatype: Enumeration.
This controls the ownership of private arenas. By "own a new subarena", it means that if the selected level of player creates a new subarena with ?go, and the arena does not have settings associated yet, Subgame2 will create settings for that arena and assign ownership to the creating player. If the player creating the arena is below the selected level, Subgame2 will still create settings for the arena, but will not grant ownership.
- Any player can own a new subarena
- Mods+ can own a new subarena
- SMods+ can own a new subarena
- Sysops can own a new subarena
- Special: New subarenas will just use spawn.cfg (that is, a new CFG must be placed in the server directory manually to give an arena its own settings)
Setting the value to 0 disables subarenas altogether.
Arena
These settings configure default arena settings.
ArenaMaxPlayers
Datatype: Count.
Number of players allowed in any arena. (This can be overridden in the Misc Settings for an arena.)

MaxArenas
Datatype: Count.
The maximum number of arenas subgame will allow.

MaxQueueToLogin
Datatype: Count.
Maximum number of clients waiting to login. Any that try when this limit is exceeded will receive the message "The server is busy handling other login requests. Please try again in a few moments. If problem persists, seek help at the Tech Support Forums found at www.subspacehq.com".
PacketHistoryMax

Datatype: String.
The password to connect to the biller. Normally, this should be the same as subbill.ini's Misc:Password.

For example, "b_ad0.bmp". Subgame will then randomly pick advertisements to display to players.
