r_ambientScale

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 r_ambientScale in the renderer module. Consult the cited behavior reads before relying on values not listed here.

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.
