+# This specifies where and in which order Teeworlds looks
+# for its data (sounds, skins, ...). The search goes top
+# down which means the first path has the highest priority.
+# Furthermore the top entry also defines the save path where
+# all data (settings.cfg, screenshots, ...) are stored.
+# There are 3 special paths available:
+#	$USERDIR
+#	- ~/.appname on UNIX based systems
+#	- ~/Library/Applications Support/appname on Mac OS X
+#	- %APPDATA%/Appname on Windows based systems
+#	$DATADIR
+#	- the 'data' directory which is part of an official
+#	release
+#	$CURRENTDIR
+#	- current working directory
+#	$APPDIR
+#	- usable path provided by argv[0]
+#
+#
+# The default file has the following entries:
+#	add_path $USERDIR
+#	add_path $DATADIR
+#	add_path $CURRENTDIR
+#
+# A customised one could look like this:
+#	add_path user
+#	add_path mods/mymod
