Quick and Dirty, How to change the default directory for dso's

It was making me nuts, there seemed to be no way to set the default compile directory for torque, no matter what I tried to tell the make program everytime I would run my TGE based app, a new hidden directory would magically appear, called ~/.garagegames

As you may or may not know, prefixing a file or directory with . causes it to become hidden, so you can't see it without special commands in a terminal or enabling "view hidden" in Konqueror, which causes a big mess is a heavily populated area like my home directory.

Now don't get me wrong, I know it's standard fare for every program to setup a hidden directory to store temp files, user settings etc. What was making me nuts, is that if I forgot to remove the directory none of my script changes would take place.

So end of rant, here is what to look for and what to change.

In platformX86UNIX/platformX86UNIX.h
modify the following

#define PREF_DIR_ROOT ".garagegames"
#define PREF_DIR_GAME_NAME "torqueDemo"

Then recompile, thats it! If you remove the .garagegames and replace it with just garagegame or mygamedir or whatever, your .dso's will not be hidden from you anymore.
