I want to change the functionality of the engine when a model fails to load. Right now if you have developer mode set it will throw a fatal error and quit. This is good for developers as it quickly exposes problems BUT lots of users also have developer 1 set and they don't want it exiting.
I propose to change the fatal error to only happen when developer is set to some higher value (i.e 3), will this cause anyone a problem?

I suggest a new cvar:
dev_nofatalerrors 1
If this cvar is set, the engine will try to "undone" "fix" or "ignore" errors that may crash the engine (Sys_Error?? Host_Error? ..?). The first application of this can be "models fails to load", and in the future everything similar can be protected with the same cvar.
