    be displayed in the wizard area and you'll be able to manually set
    a WAD directory.

    are ticked or not.

    "Game" it'll adjust the labels accordingly.

    Note: Hexen skill labels for the different classes are combined.

 2. Added a "Scan for Custom IWADs" button to both the Wizard and Full
    areas; this replaces the automatic detection at startup to avoid
    a misleading non-responsive appearance.

    Note: If a given preset already utilises a custom IWAD, it'll
    look for that one specifically in-addition to the usual defaults.
