This cannot of course set real complevels, so what it does is set all appropriate compatibility flags from the respective preset.
It does leave out a few flags that are preferably left to the user, like infinitely tall actors or wall running.
* make all legacy light modes except 'Doom' MAPINFO only. A CVAR still exists for testing but its value won't be saved to the config.
* user can only select between "performance', 'software' and 'vanilla'. 'performance' is the old 'Doom' mode which is still needed to speed things up on low end hardware.
* MAPINFO can not enforce any of the two software light modes, as low end users require the option to change this to the 'performance' setting. Selecting one will always revert to the user's light mode selection.
Due to C++ conversion rules this was a bit too volatile. There's really not enough places where being able to pass a string directly into the sound API was beneficial - the two most frequent functions now got overloaded variants.
Turns out that there's a few old maps that have the extended line flags set but not the guard bit that forces their clearance.
Astrostein 1's first map is an example for this.
The reason this was never added was the hard dependency on the line trigger types. This implements some modified logic that does not try to find all potential lifts in the map.
Also moving the MBF flags to compatflags so that they are easier to control by the user as these must be part of compatibility presets.
Prompted by 'Hurt' which has > 4000 lights and runs into both performance issues and unpredictable light selection for the limited amount of shadowmap slots.
- Always allow skyboxes by default
- Add option to disable skyboxes through mapinfo

Disable AO for skybox portals (can be forced back with MAPINFO flag).
* Add FALLDAMAGE flag and add property to properly apply falling damage to the monsters
* Change name of propermonsterdamage property to propermonsterfallingdamage
* moved the sprite renaming out of the file system entirely into a caller-provided callback.
* renamed several functions to closer match the terms of a file system.
* moved the VM interface out of the implementation.
These were creating dangerous interdependencies. It is better to do explicit conversions when needed.
As an added plus, this means that zstring.h no longer depends on name.h which was very annoying.
Most importantly, specifying a patch may optionally disallow showing the autor's name - this is for cases where a styled patch gets used for English but text-based translations of the map name should still be possible.
The episode titles required a workaround because the CQ3 episodes do not contain names in text form: If this is the case, the patch name will be used as a string table identifier to get a matching text for localization.
