Add ruleset 2024

Hi @osm, I haven't seen the request or need to have a new ruleset. Where did this come from? Based on what discussion?

I am very much about to close this...

Hi @tcsabina,

This was discussed by fellow community members in the #talk channel on the EQL Discord server the same day this PR was created. Feel free to scroll back and check it out.

The 2024 ruleset was also added to your wiki on August 15th by BPS and has been implemented accordingly. https://github.com/QW-Group/ezquake-source/wiki/Rulesets

If you'd like, I'd be happy to make a formal request if that is what's needed to make this approved.

Hey mate,

I like the addition of new rulesets and it's not a nuisance for Toma to accept. However we do need to establish some rules about naming. I think 2024 is too general and essentially hogs the entire year.

Can you think of a better name? I think what people actually want is smackdown but with cl_idrive allowed, so smackdrive or something like that would make more sense to me. What do you think?

so the only difference between this new "2024" ruleset and "smackdown" is the idrive check. Why do we need a new ruleset for it?

when making a /f_ruleset check it prints that idrive is being used. like this:

we should just change how it works, so that the Smackdown ruleset works the same as "default" ruleset. I mean, if the user has ruleset Smackdown, lets allow him to enable idrive, /f_ruleset check would print smackdown +i. so tournament rules can say that the ruleset must be Smackdown, and Idrive is allowed.

and it would accomplish the same as this "2024" ruleset.
more flexible I would say.

I think cl_idrive is write protected in Smackdown. Don't think you can use it unless you're on ruleset default.

Hi!

I like the name smackdrive. If it’s approved by the council, I’ll go ahead and rename it.

I think cl_idrive is write protected in Smackdown. Don't think you can use it unless you're on ruleset default.

Yes, it is write protected currently.

I created this PR https://github.com/QW-Group/ezquake-source/pull/944 previously that made it possible to toggle cl_idrive when using the smackdown ruleset. It worked just as @mushis describes it (showing +i when performing a check if enabled), it was however closed with a "hard no" comment :)

The problem I have with this approach, is that everytime we want to change anything, we need to create a new ruleset. This is not great.

Talking about iDrive, I would prefer the approach of the PR you mentioned, which is smarter imo (its my suggestion too). Maybe it was misunderstood, I don't see absolutely ANY problem about making cl_idrive NOT write protected, i.e. the user can set it, BUT its usage is reported with +i.

anyway, smackdrive it is!

[osm]

Rebased the PR and renamed the ruleset from 2024 to smackdrive.

I agree. Ideally, it should be implemented like FTE has done it (or similarly to it), but that would require a bit more effort, and I don't have the time for that right now :/
