===Changing the Base Path=== It is possible to alter the path which will be appended to WAD, DEH/BEX, CSC, and EDF file names by using the '''basepath''' variable. When basepath is set to a path, that path will be appended to those file names instead of the path of the GFS file. This allows GFS to be placed by the user into a directory other than that in which the other files exist. There can only be one basepath specification per GFS file. The last one found during parsing will be the one which is used. This option is not generally useful to GFS provided with modifications, since authors cannot know how the user's file system is set up. This facility is present to allow users to create their own GFS files and keep them wherever they wish. '''basepath''', as mentioned above, does not affect the '''iwad''' specification, if one is present. Example of Usage: # # Assume that Aliens TC 2.0 is in C:\Games\AliensTC, but this GFS is somewhere else # (like in the port's directory, for example # # The files I want to load: wadfile = alitcsf.wad wadfile = alitcsnd.wad wadfile = atclev.wad dehfile = atcud19.bex # The location where they're at, since the GFS file is not also there # (note you could also use "C:\\Games\\AliensTC"): basepath = "C:/Games/AliensTC"
