Deprecated.
Leftover from Quake I, where it was used to determine what sounds doors and keys used, what models keys use, and what the keys are called. As func_door's sound handling is completely revamped, and the source code for item_key1 and item_key2 is commented out with a #if 0, this KV goes unused by vanilla game code.

• 1 : Runic (metal)
• 2 : Present (base)

For additional specifics, see QuakeWiki's page on worldspawn.

Game mode (no_arena) <boolean> (only in )
