`ui_r_texturemode`

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 read-only after registration (CVAR_ROM); it is internal UI/engine state, hidden from every cvar listing (CVAR_INTERNAL); it is the menu's staging copy of r_textureMode, which the menu writes through when the change is applied and reads back when it is opened.

Controls ui_r_texturemode 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_INTERNAL: internal UI/engine state
CVAR_ROM: read-only after registration

Provenance

Origin: Base Jedi Academy

Baseline evidence: 14cea1563762
Upstream registration evidence: code/ui/ui_main.cpp:4179
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.
