Notes:
 
	- Linux in the previous list means .deb, but most paths should be similar for
 
	  others.
 
	- The previous search order is also used for NewGRFs and openttd.cfg.

The preferred setup:
 
Place 3rd party files in shared directory (or in personal directory if you do
 
not have write access on shared directory) and have your openttd.cfg config
 
file in personal directory (where the game will then also place savegames and
 
screenshots).
