Configuration

Dethrace looks for a dethrace.ini file in the system preferences directory:

Platform	Example Path
Windows	C:\Users\bob\AppData\Roaming\dethrace\dethrace.ini
macOS	/Users/bob/Library/Application Support/dethrace/dethrace.ini
Linux	/home/bob/.local/share/dethrace/dethrace.ini

If this file is not present, dethrace will run with default configuration and attempt to discover the correct Carmageddon directory to use (see below).

3. DETHRACE_ROOT_DIR environment variable
4. Current working directory (if DATA/GENERAL.TXT exists)
5. SDL_GetPrefPath directory
