// first method: by filename, e.g. spirit.exe will be use basedir 'spirit', hostname must be "normal"
// second method: by hostname with leading symbol '$'. e.g. hl.exe with hostname '$valve' set the basedir to 'valve'
// for dedicated servers rename 'YourExeName.exe' to '#YourExeName.exe'
// Keyword "normal" it's a reserved word which switch engine to game mode, other reserved words run Xash Tools.
