Summary0000564: Odamex Plugin: Set -waddir to Wadseeker download directory
DescriptionRight now, if you join an odamex server and it switches maps and the wad downloader kicks in, it will attempt to download wad files to the same place your IWAD is located. Sometimes, this is good, but other times it can end up someplace ridiculous like your steam directory.

Therefore, -waddir ought to be set to the same directory that WADSeeker downloads files to. If there is no download directory set, just do what you do now.

Does Odamex have a proper way to set the download directory from the command line or is the first directory in -waddir always used?

No.

> or is the first directory in -waddir always used?

A quick look at cl_main.cpp reveals the following:

// Try to save to the wad paths in this order -- Hyper_Eye
D_AddSearchDir(dirs, Args.CheckValue("-waddir"), separator);
D_AddSearchDir(dirs, getenv("DOOMWADDIR"), separator);
D_AddSearchDir(dirs, getenv("DOOMWADPATH"), separator);
D_AddSearchDir(dirs, waddirs.cstring(), separator);

dirs is a vector of strings, and D_AddSearchDir is intelligent enough to split a string containing multiple directories. The separator character is ';' on Windows and ':' elsewhere. That should be enough information to answer that and several potential follow-up questions you might have. :)
