Please ensure that your request is predominantly client-based, and not better suited to being logged with the server or mod aspects of QuakeWorld (e.g. mvdsv or ktx)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Outline models look great but most players can't use it because it is blocked with ruleset smackdown or qcon.

Describe the solution you'd like
remove values 2 & 3 from gl_outline and allow the usage in ruleset smackdown. Outline of the world already covered by r_fx_geometry.
Alternatively, rename the cmd to gl_outline_models

Describe alternatives you've considered
No alternatives are available.

Impact on server or mods

Hi b1az3,
This will not happen, sorry.
It has been discussed when we loosened up the allowance of gl_outline in some rulesets. But we have decided explicitly to not allow it in smackdown and qcon.

Can you please share the reason?
As I understand it was some bug in the implementation which is not relevant anymore with r_fx_geometry.

Hey.
I was slightly mistaken: it is allowed in smackdown already since 3.6.2.

It is still disallowed in qcon, and will stay like that. That is a ruleset used in quakecon's competition, and we don't want any fancy stuff in it.
