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
