The original TGA loading code that was commented out in the original source code of quake contains a bug. The engine would always try loading tgas bottom up, even if the topdown flag was specified. This has resulted in a number of TGAs being created for other engines that end up upside down. You can mimic the broken behaviour by setting this value.

Please note: only set this if you have no tools to correct the tga externally to Quake. Also, please encourage other engine coders to fix their engines also.
