A lot of people have several installations on the same computer and
would like to seperate the gametypes.txt, maplists, config files, ban
files, motd, addons, etc. Would it be possible to add a command line
argument to the actual command line to specify a "user" directory, to
simplify things. Of course, I'm over-simplifying things here, but I'm
thinking an option like -configdir "/home/username/config" and
-addonsdir "/home/username/addons" would be nice. Perhaps even another
one for the maps directory, since some users may have conflicting
versions of maps. Just a thought. I wouldn't really use this feature,
but it'd save people a lot of hassle and probably save quite a bit of
bandwidth only updating the servers once (or at least the main
parts--maps and such would still need to be updated with each user's
directory).
