Very cool.

In the meantime, Casualfan, you could try a loader like ZDL or something. Makes keeping your wads/maps/etc organized a lot easier.

I know I can go into the .INI to change where the files are detected but...I don't know how to do that haha. It would be great to be able to have a system like Raze's in place, or even have an option to choose what folder the program should check for IWADS. Just a suggestion to help the technologically illiterate such as myself :biggrin:
Just add, in the ini file:

[IWADSearch.Directories]
Path=.
Path=$DOOMWADDIR
Path=$HOME
Path=$PROGDIR/iwads
