OpenJK
Needs review. The inventory/provenance evidence is recorded, but some behavior, options, or attribution still lacks a direct user-facing source.
Engine-managed. The game maintains this value itself, so it is not a setting to change by hand: it is read-only after registration (CVAR_ROM).
Registered by the current source, but no user-facing behavior description has been verified. Consult the cited behavior reads before relying on values not listed here.
