Unable to set lanmode in compose.yaml

[TheCloudCrafter]

I have massive disconnection issues due to auth error. Reading online this should be resolved with LanMode, but the yaml config doesn't support it. Throws it away.

I worked around the issue by directly editing the JSON in the container, but I'm concerned about the JSON being recreated on rebuild/new yaml.

Doing research...

• LanMode is clearly listed in the official ServerHostSettings
• start.sh uses the function update_json_settings() to parse the env vars and search the json configs for existing values to edit.
• Root Cause: Source json for function (default values) does NOT have the LanMode field listed and causes update_json_settings() to ignore the input from the YAML.
  v-rising/persistentdata/Settings/ServerGameSettings-schema.json
• Remediation?:
  • update the function to support hidden/non-default fields from official ServerHostSettings, but thats not dynamic.
  • add additional logic/function like HOST_OVERRIDE_SETTINGS_LanMode=true to skip the var check and force it in. I think this path would be better since it'll put the work on the users to ensure they use it wisely.

Thank you for your efforts in supporting this container.
Unfortunately I can't spare the time to dev this out and submit a pull request to fix it. I see the path forward though.

Actually a good suggestion. I'll try to find the time.
