cl_guid Support
|
||||
cl_guid is a cvar which is part of the client's USERINFO string. Its value
|
||||
is a 32 character string made up of [a-f] and [0-9] characters. This
|
||||
value is pseudo-unique for every player. Id's Quake 3 Arena client also
|
||||
sets cl_guid, but only if Punkbuster is enabled on the client.
|
||||
|
||||
If cl_guidServerUniq is non-zero (the default), then this value is also
|
||||
pseudo-unique for each server a client connects to (based on IP:PORT of
|
||||
the server).
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of cl_guid is to add an identifier for each player on
|
||||
a server. This value can be reset by the client at any time so it's not
|
||||
useful for blocking access. However, it can have at least two uses in
|
||||
your mod's game code:
|
||||
1) improve logging to allow statistical tools to index players by more
|
||||
than just name
|
||||
2) granting some weak admin rights to players without requiring passwords
|
||||
|
||||
Using HTTP/FTP Download Support (Server)
|
||||
You can enable redirected downloads on your server even if it's not
|
||||
an ioquake3 server. You simply need to use the 'sets' command to put
