NEW SPAWNFLAGS FOR ALL ENTITIES

========================================================================


This file was created for progs_dump by Ian "iw" Walshaw, August 2019.

It defines functions which can be called to implement the following new
spawnflags:

	4096   Not in Coop
	8192   Not in Single Player
	32768  Not on Hard Only
	65536  Not on Nightmare Only

(Spawnflag 16384 is not used here because it's already used for
something else in progs_dump.)

The new spawnflags complement and complete the set of built-in
spawnflags provided by the engine, which of course are:

	256    Not on Easy
	512    Not on Normal
	1024   Not on Hard or Nightmare
	2048   Not in Deathmatch

In conjunction with the old spawnflags, the new spawnflags make it
possible to exclude any entity from any combination of game modes and/or
skill levels.


"Not in Coop" and "Not in Single Player"
----------------------------------------

These spawnflags were inspired by Quoth 2 (Kell and Necros, 2008), which
included two additional spawnflags for all entities: "Not in Coop" and
"Coop Only".  In contrast to Quoth 2, the spawnflags implemented here
are "Not in Coop" and "Not in Single Player", for symmetry with the
built-in "Not in Deathmatch" spawnflag.


"Not on Hard Only" and "Not on Nightmare Only"
----------------------------------------------

The set of built-in spawnflags doesn't allow a mapper to treat the Hard
and Nightmare skill levels differently, because it only includes one
spawnflag, 1024, which excludes an entity from both Hard and Nightmare.
The new "Not on Hard Only" and "Not on Nightmare Only" spawnflags allow
the mapper to exclude an entity from one of these skill levels without
affecting the other.
