 Inside the overrides section is the '''levelOverrides''' section. This tells the game that there will be configuration for each level name that you define.
 Inside the '''levelOverrides''' section is a comma-separated listing of levels you want to override. For example if you want to change the behavior of SECBASE you would add SECBASE.LEV configuration and if you want to configure TALAY then you would write down TALAY.LEV. You can add as many as you want depending on how many maps you have in your GOB.

This is a validation checks that tells the The Force Engine two things. The first is what format the MOD_CONF file is in. We may add new categories and structures to the JSON as times goes along. Additionally, the version may tell TFE what features MOD_CONF expects to be supported. As we add more features the MOD_CONF the version will increase. At the moment, the version is '''1''' and supports all features. If this value is missing the validation is skipped and, if there are any issues, the loading of the override is skipped.
