`fx_debug`

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 fx_debug in the engine-client module. Consult the cited behavior reads before relying on values not listed here.

CVAR_TEMP: temporary and not archived

Provenance

Origin: Base Jedi Academy

Baseline evidence: 14cea1563762
Upstream registration evidence: code/cgame/cg_main.cpp:408
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`
`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`
