Tell me I'm not going insane.
I decided to clean up my Quake directory, meaning I relocated any old WIPs, mods, resources, QC, yadda yadda to a folder outside of the directory. Then I figured I'd go ahead and re-download DarkPlaces to see if there's a newer version. I even grabbed the original ID1 folder from the Quake CD. In short, I'm starting from absolute scratch. There are no quake.rc, autoexec, config.cfg or default files ANYWHERE that didn't come off the Quake CD.
However, I start up the new DarkPlaces, using the original ID1 folder, with no other old files/folders to speak of in the directory, and DP remembers ALL of my settings: gamma, brightness, keyboard controls, +mlook, you name it.
This is mostly a question out of curiosity, but where in the hell is DP reading these old settings from? Am I being stupid here, or does it write a file deep in the hard drive somewhere??
I feel like there is a painfully obvious answer here, but I'll be damned if I can't figure it out...it's been well over a year since I've Quaked but I certainly don't remember this.
By the way, hi everybody. It's been awhile lol. I'm jumping back in the scene.
