How come +moveup is not allowed in the smackdown ruleset?
It is way cleaner to something like "+jump;+moveup" on your jump key, then have an extra bind for water.
I do not think this is a horrible script cheat.

I agree. Time for a change?

ezQuake has "cl_smartjump 1" which will convert +jump commands to +moveup commands when in liquid (water, lava, slime) and in spectator mode.
It is default on, so you dont actually have to do anything.

Thank you, rio.

I am pretty sure this was never discussed when we decided on the rules in the tournament. Maybe there is some interaction with movement scripts?
Or it could have been added after Challenge Smackdown was long over since the ruleset in the engines then became the standard for all competitions.

What I find weird is that I have +movedown and +moveup bound and they seem work with ruleset smackdown. However if I type the commands in the console it says movement scripts are disabled!?
