These options are best set in the frontend, but the descriptions there are somewhat short and potentially cryptic. And every so often, it is useful to set them manually by editing configuration.txt and then running the converter manually. Here is some more detail on the different options.

###Victoria 2 Directory
A path on your computer where Victoria 2 is installed. The converter uses this to look up a great variety of necessary items.

It will often be in the Steam folder, and the frontend should find it automatically when it is installed from Steam. . If Victoria 2 was not installed from Steam, it will be wherever the game was installed, and the frontend will need to be shown where it is. When properly set in the configurations file, it should look something like the following.

V2directory = "D:\Paradox Interactive\Victoria 2"

###Victoria 2 Documents Directory
A path on your computer where Victoria 2 keeps temporary files. It is used to look up needed mods.

It will typically be in My Documents, and the frontend should find it automatically. When properly set in the configurations file, it should look something like the following.

V2Documentsdirectory = "C:\Users\Stephen\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Victoria II"

###Hearts of Iron 3 directory A path on your computer where Hearts of Iron 3 is installed. It is used to look up a great many items for the converter.

If Hearts of Iron 3 was installed from Steam, it will typically be in the Steam folder, and the frontend should find it automatically. If Hearts of Iron 3 was not installed from Steam, it will be wherever the game was installed, and the frontend will need to be shown where it is. When properly set in the configurations file, it should look something like the following.

HoI3directory = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Hearts of Iron 3"

###Hearts of Iron 3 Documents directory A path on your computer where Hearts of Iron 3 keeps temporary files. It is used to look up province adjacencies.

It will typically be in My Documents, and the frontend should find it automatically. When properly set in the configurations file, it should look something like the following.

HoI3Documentsdirectory = "C:\Users\Stephen\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron III"

###Hearts of Iron 3 Mod Directory Used by the frontend to copy the converted mod so that you don't have to. Note that while Victoria 2 may have created a mod directory under My Documents, this needs to be set to the mod directory under the Victoria 2 install location.

This setting does not get saved to configuration.txt.

###Converter .exe Used by the frontend to start the converter. It should be set automatically.

This setting does not get saved to configuration.txt.

###Save game Used to instruct the frontend on which game to convert. It must contain the full path and the save game itself. If the Victoria 2 documents directory has been set properly, the browse button should easily lead you to the save.

This setting does not get saved to configuration.txt.

###Vic2 Mods All mods used in Victoria 2 must be listed here. This option cannot be properly used from the frontend at this time. Mod names should be separated by spaces, and if any name contains a space, then the whole name should be placed in quotation marks.

When properly set in the configurations file, this setting should look something like the following.

Vic2Mods = { modOne "mod two" }

###Reset Provinces Provinces that are marked as 'resettable' in the province mappings will be reset to the vanilla Hearts of Iron 3 state.

When properly set in the configurations file, this setting should look something like the following.

resetProvinces = "no"

###Faction leader Determines how the converter sets the faction leaders. If done manually, the conversion must also be done manually.

When properly set in the configurations file, this setting should look something like the following.

faction_leader = "auto"

or

faction_leader = "manual"
axis_faction = { GER ITA }
allies_faction = { ENG FRA CAN HND SAF }
comintern_faction = { RUS }

###Minimum infrostructure The minimum level of infrastructure each province will have. If this is set below three, some provinces will be impassible.

When properly set in the configurations file, this setting should look something like the following.

min_infrastructure = 3.0

###IC Conversion Determines the conversion method used for IC.

When properly set in the configurations file, this setting should look something like the following.

ic_conversion = "linear"
ic_factor = 1.0

###Manpower conversion Determines the conversion method used for Manpower.

When properly set in the configurations file, this setting should look something like the following.

manpower_conversion = "linear"
manpower_factor = 1.0

###Leadership Conversion Determines the conversion method used for Leadership.

When properly set in the configurations file, this setting should look something like the following.

leadership_conversion = "linear"
leadership_factor = 1.0

###Literacy Weight This value affects how much the POP's literacy affects the weighting of the educated classes in leadership and IC conversion calculations.

When properly set in the configurations file, this setting should look something like the following.

literacy_weight = 0.1

###Practicals Scale Determines the bonus given to a nation's practical knowledge based on the units it has at start.

When properly set in the configurations file, this setting should look something like the following.
