Joe, not sure the names of them, but basically the gamma and contrast variables so that when JoeQuake is restarted the previous level of luminosity is restored + those QMB particle settings and such in video options.
Probably most of these variables. I haven't fully explored all of them, but I did notice that some of them did not seem to be written to config.cfg and even if I manually set the gamma/contrast in config.cfg, JoeQuake didn't seem read them to restore them.
