JK2MV
Sets the emulated frame rate used to make third-person camera damping frame-rate independent. Values below 15 select the original JK2/JKA multiplayer damping path; values of 15 or more use the time-adjusted path, with the original response reproduced when the actual frame rate matches this value.

Dated project introductions
Authored dates come from the exact registration’s first content commit, PR dates identify when work was proposed to each project, and integration dates come from each first-parent mainline. A project merging first does not override earlier upstream authorship or submission.

Later changes
These commits occur after the ultimate-origin introduction on TaystJK’s inherited first-parent lineage. Registration evidence is exact; behavior evidence requires a changed bound cvar reference or a changed registered command-handler hunk.
