`cg_fov`

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

Provenance

Origin: Base Jedi Academy

Upstream registration evidence: code/cgame/cg_main.cpp:333
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	`a09d4827fb0d` Added /codeJK2/ for JK2. Also did a whole bunch of other crap which I shouldn’t have, in hindsight. Have fun!	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `codeJK2/cgame/cg_main.cpp`	`medium`
`2013-04-07`	OpenJK	`b319c52fd4ed` Major codemp cleanup. Ported modbase. Restructured VS2010 projects.	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating; and an exact bound cvar-variable reference. `codemp/cgame/cg_main.c`, `codemp/cgame/cg_xcvar.h`, `codemp/game/bg_pmove.c`	`medium`
`2013-07-05`	OpenJK	`8831076ddf5e` Allow cg_fov to be archived in SP.	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `code/cgame/cg_main.cpp`	`medium`
`2013-08-04`	OpenJK	`004c73dcfeb3` Decoupled viewmodel FOV from view FOV. Added option to not lower viewmodel at high FOV values. Defaults to inheriting view FOV and lowering viewmodel like base.	Changed an exact bound cvar-variable reference. `codemp/cgame/cg_weapons.c`	`medium`
`2013-08-13`	OpenJK	`142bd8696935` Adds cg_fovAspectAdjust to SP. Waiting on viewmodel fov changes because, SP uses 80 as the starting number for viewmodel fov scaling.	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `code/cgame/cg_main.cpp`	`medium`
`2014-01-20`	OpenJK	`7dd2d68dd65e` [SP] JK2: cg_fov is now flagged as CVAR_ARCHIVE	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `codeJK2/cgame/cg_main.cpp`	`medium`
`2014-03-12`	OpenJK	`cfeb246ffcce` [JK2SP] Merging in some fixes and cleanup from JASP cgame/game code.	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `codeJK2/cgame/cg_main.cpp`	`medium`
`2015-11-24`	EternalJK	`c8f6ea17a324` Remove SP code	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `code/cgame/cg_main.cpp`, `codeJK2/cgame/cg_main.cpp`	`medium`
`2018-09-03`	jaPRO	`bdcd618c6771` Import japro cgame	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating; and an exact bound cvar-variable reference. `codemp/cgame/cg_draw.c`, `codemp/cgame/cg_view.c`, `codemp/cgame/cg_xcvar.h`	`high`
