Down in the "Known Issues" section:
On Unix, Torque stores created files (e.g.: .dso) in "~/.garagegames/exename". This directory is also searched first for files that need to be read. This behavior can be disabled by removing the -DUSE_FILE_REDIRECT parameter in conf.UNIX.mk

Add:
This behavior can also be disabled at runtime with the '-nohomedir' command line parameter.

I stumbled on this when I was messing around with the ingame editors and was wondering why the changes weren't showing up in the game dir.

Should probably whip up a patch that corrects this (ie have the ingame editors save in the game directory)

Yep, took me a while to figure that one out.

Thanks Gregory. I will ask on Monday whether we should update the behavior, or the documentation.

Edited for update: for now, I just changed the documentation. It should get pushed out onto the site at the end of the week.
