OK, found out I can't play with the settings I had in the V3 config, so

I mangled them into something that works. Also I found out about
gl_texturemode (thanks despair) although it didn't do much for me, it
might for you. Look at it :)

I also cleaned up the configs so we can see where each section begins
and ends easier. Should be fairly obvious what I did.

Misty-chan :)
