Base Jedi Academy

Needs review. The inventory/provenance evidence is recorded, but some behavior, options, or attribution still lacks a direct user-facing source.

Controls cg_drawRadar in the cgame module. Consult the cited behavior reads before relying on values not listed here.

Provenance

Origin: Base Jedi Academy

Baseline evidence: 14cea1563762
Upstream registration evidence: codemp/cgame/cg_main.c:903
Attribution method: present-in-openjk-initial-source-import
Attribution confidence: high
Notes: Identifier is present in OpenJK’s initial Raven source-import snapshot. Dated commit evidence identifies later registration changes relative to the origin snapshot.

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.

Date	Change source	Commit / subject	Evidence	Confidence
`2013-04-07`	OpenJK	`b319c52fd4ed` Major codemp cleanup. Ported modbase. Restructured VS2010 projects.	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `codemp/cgame/cg_main.c`, `codemp/cgame/cg_xcvar.h`	`medium`
`2013-12-03`	OpenJK	`b12414718708` [MP] Improve cvar code a bit further. Based mostly on zturtleman/spearmint@778bce425a2e6b6860e9d5ec4c7fc736311f9351. With some changes for legacy support still (and extra cvars that should be allowed in mods, if the mods were incorrectly setting them). And also some other misc stuff related to OpenJK specific.	Changed an exact bound cvar-variable reference. `codemp/client/cl_input.cpp`	`high`
`2018-09-03`	jaPRO	`bdcd618c6771` Import japro cgame	Changed an exact bound cvar-variable reference. `codemp/cgame/cg_draw.c`	`high`
`2024-02-27`	TaystJK	`baa02905f40f` · PR #130 Merge pull request #130 from taysta/tribes-clientside	Changed an exact bound cvar-variable reference. `codemp/cgame/cg_draw.c`	`medium`
