Notes:
All of the modes covered here have a mode and a current mode.
Thing Geo Modes
The current Geo Mode of a thing is the value that the thing will use. The Geo Mode seems to be simply a stored value for the thing. Setting the current Geo Mode of a thing has no effect on the Geo Mode and setting the Geo Mode has no effect on the current Geo Mode. The default Geo Mode and current Geo Mode for a thing is 4.
Thing Light Modes
Setting the current Light Mode of a thing has no effect on the thing or the Light Mode, and any new value is quickly overwritten. Setting the Light Mode of a thing changes the thing, and after a very small delay, it changes the current Light Mode. Changing the Light Mode of the player has no effect on the weapon mesh. The default Light Mode and current Light Mode for a thing is 3.
Thing Texture Modes
The thing tex mode verbs do change a thing's Texture Mode, but the visual appearance of the thing is not changed. The engine does not seem to care what a thing's texture mode values are. They will be rendered with perspective texturing regardless. Even when the advanced display options are used to change the engine's overall texturing mode, things are rendered perspectively.
SetThingTexMode() changes the Tex Mode, and after a very short delay, changes the current Tex Mode. Setting the current Tex Mode has no effect and the value is quickly changed back. The default Tex Mode for a thing is 2, while the current Tex Mode has a default of 1.
