ToolsAppId 563 // Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\\debug, materials\\editor, etc.
//
// The code that loads this file automatically does a few things here:
//
// 1. For each \"Game\" search path, it adds a \"GameBin\" path, in \\bin
// 2. For each \"Game\" search path, it adds another \"Game\" path in front of it with _ at the end.
