The configuration file is just called 'config' and contains several configuration options, some of them can be changed by using command-line options or using the in-game menus, others can only be changed by editing the file by hand.
If at any point you did something wrong, you may delete the old configuration file and just restart Warzone 2100. Then the game will regenerate a new configuration file with default values. It may be wise to not delete and instead backup your old configuration file in case you want to keep other options.
