---- -------------------

OpenTTD uses its own directory to store its required 3rd party base set files (see section

4.1 "Required 3rd party files") and non-compulsory extension and configuration files. See

below for their proper place within this OpenTTD main data directory.

The main OpenTTD directories can be found in various locations, depending on your operating

system:

	1. The current working directory (from where you started OpenTTD)

		For non-Windows operating systems OpenTTD will not scan for files in this

		directory if it is your personal directory, i.e. "~/", or when it is the

		root directory, i.e. "/".

	2. Your personal directory

		         C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\OpenTTD (2000, XP)

		         C:\Users\<username>\Documents\OpenTTD (Vista, 7)

		Mac OSX: ~/Documents/OpenTTD

		Linux:   ~/.openttd

	3. The shared directory

		Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\OpenTTD (2000, XP)

		         C:\Users\Public\Documents\OpenTTD (Vista, 7)

		Mac OSX: /Library/Application Support/OpenTTD

		Linux:   not available

	4. The binary directory (where the OpenTTD executable is)

		Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenTTD

		Linux:   /usr/games
