`ui_r_glCustom`

Base Jedi Academy

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 internal UI/engine state, hidden from every cvar listing (CVAR_INTERNAL).

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

No discrete value list is enforced or documented in the inspected source.

Flags

CVAR_ARCHIVE: saved to the user configuration
CVAR_INTERNAL: internal UI/engine state

Provenance

Origin: Base Jedi Academy

Baseline evidence: 14cea1563762
Upstream registration evidence: code/ui/ui_main.cpp:4171
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
`2013-08-11`	OpenJK	`794718e3fdfb` Merge pull request #344 from Razish/qvmtest	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `codemp/ui/ui_main.c`	`medium`
`2013-09-02`	OpenJK	`bdbf4bcc40d2` Show default status in cvar and print cvar for SP. Fixed bad Cvar getting with UI Cvar Create (SP). Cleaned up SP's old usage of range checking in renderer. Limit primitives to 0...3 in normal play. (SP) Remove ROM from ui_r_glcustom in SP ui, as ROM and ARCHIVE are mutually exclusive. Fix JK2 cvar sp_language being registered in renderer when not compiled with JK2 support at all. Removed some cruft from tr_public.h (SP)	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `code/ui/ui_main.cpp`	`medium`
`2013-09-23`	OpenJK	`06310990a9eb` Some cleanup and fixes for UI code. Also disables automatic overstrike mode in UI fields.	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `codemp/ui/ui_main.c`	`medium`
`2015-11-24`	EternalJK	`c8f6ea17a324` Remove SP code	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `code/ui/ui_main.cpp`	`medium`
