Testing with Adventures of Square this mostly works, but it is clear that a list of old and deleted CVARs still needs to be added so that any items referring to those can be eliminated as well. Some stuff is still slipping through that refers to features which no longer exist.
Sadly, some mods are truly careless enough to modify the engine internal menus to add their own things, which should have no business whatsoever in there.
As an example, in a D4D version released in May, the Display Options menu is showing quite a bit of outdated content and missing important settings.
- added a '-nocustommenu' command line options. This is for disabling user menus that intentionally or accidentally disable crucial menu features.
- do not allow replacement of the main options menu. This menu contains engine-critical settings and may change at any time when new features get added. For now it will be the only one that gets protected but this may soon be extended to some of its submenus as well.
Ambush flag cannot be used for marking visited points because HandleSpawnFlags() is no longer virtual
See E1M4 from Rise Of The Wool Ball v1.1 as example of broken chain
DamageMobj can destroy the damaged actor if the death state sequence has zero duration. But Actor.target is a garbage collected member variable, i.e. it will be null, once the actor it points to gets destroyed.
This was originally done correctly in the C++ code but during the scriptification all those 'AActor *target = self->target' lines were removed because they looked redundant, but were not.
This can only happen if some thing gets placed somewhere it doesn't physically fit in and as a result of the floor move would be pushed into an even more invalid place.

As nice as the automatic is, this will trigger far too many cases where it will disable translucency for mods that only change some texts. Dehacked is very often only used for non-actor related modifications.
If the automatic is supposed to be the default it needs to do a lot more thorough checks to avoid bug reports due to misunderstanding the feature.
It now works the following way:
(0) - Force off (ZDoom defaults)
(1) - Force on (Doom defaults)
(2) - Auto off (Prefer ZDoom defaults - if DEHACKED is detected with no ZSCRIPT it will turn on) (default)
(3) - Auto on (Prefer Doom defaults - if DECORATE is detected with no ZSCRIPT it will turn off)
