`g_allowVote`

Base Jedi Academy

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

Set with toggleVote. 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 g_allowVote in the game module. Consult the cited behavior reads before relying on values not listed here.

Bits

Use toggleVote 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.

Provenance

Origin: Base Jedi Academy

Baseline evidence: 14cea1563762
Upstream registration evidence: codemp/game/g_main.c:380
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; and an exact bound cvar-variable reference. `codemp/game/g_cmds.c`, `codemp/game/g_main.c`, `codemp/game/g_xcvar.h`	`medium`
`2013-10-24`	OpenJK	`872159cb6796` [MP] Rewrote callvote to be far more robust	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating; and an exact bound cvar-variable reference. `codemp/game/g_cmds.c`, `codemp/game/g_xcvar.h`	`medium`
`2013-10-25`	OpenJK	`99f68a293fef` [MP] Fixed a few issues with vote code from previous commits. Tweaked the team vote code to be a simplified but similar version of the new callvote code. Added g_allowTeamVote, defaulted to 1 cvar to toggle team voting.	Changed an exact bound cvar-variable reference. `codemp/game/g_cmds.c`	`medium`
`2014-08-07`	OpenJK	`bb3ed393a5fb` [MP] Add toggleallowvote server command for easy toggling of g_allowVote bit options.	Changed an exact bound cvar-variable reference. `codemp/game/g_cmds.c`	`medium`
`2018-01-01`	jaPRO	`d9d510063ce6` Merge branch ‘japro-ejk’	Changed an exact bound cvar-variable reference. `codemp/game/g_svcmds.c`	`high`
