`cp_cosmetics`

EternalJK

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

Set with cosmetics. Each bit is a separate option, so the command toggles one of them per use and leaves the rest alone. Setting a raw value by hand replaces every option at once.

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

Bits

Use cosmetics to toggle one option at a time; see the command page for syntax. The value column is that bit on its own. The labels come from the source table.

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.
