`username`

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).

Controls username in the engine-shared module. Consult the cited behavior reads before relying on values not listed here.

Field	Value
Default	`Sys_GetCurrentUser()`
Value type	`string`
Restart	No latch flag is registered.
Manually settable	No; the game writes this value.

Category	Engine & diagnostics
Module	`engine-shared`
Renderer	All / not renderer-specific
Derivation	`code-trace`
Confidence	`high`
Added	2013-04-08 in `14cea1563` (how to compare this against your build)

Values

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

Flags

CVAR_ROM: read-only after registration

Provenance

Origin: Base Jedi Academy

Baseline evidence: 14cea1563762
Upstream registration evidence: code/win32/win_main.cpp:1110
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.
