This issue is quite tricky. ezQuake client can be updated only if this criteria are met:
1) It's decided that Qizmo coloring will be disallowed
2) FPD that blocks this Qizmo feature is impossible or very hard to be set on most servers
3) League decides to ban FuhQuake+Qizmo usage

Only if "yes" is the answer to all the three questions then it makes sense to do a quick patch for ezQuake (probably for upcoming 1.8.2 version)
We might alter the ruleset so that it forces one color&skin on all enemies.
Notes:
The skin issue is a bit different and I guess only 5% of players know how it works.
Even after the patch teams will be forced to use same color & skin settings for all their players, making it impossible for you to recognize "who is who" in your team. Unless we provide another patch for this or unless Qizmo can do it - I don't know if the FPD can block the feature for enemies only. If teams don't do this, FuhQuake users can turn off enemycolor/enemyskin client feature, have appropriate skins installed and be able to recognize "who is who" in your team either by color or by skin.

Result: After applying the patch, either all FuhQuake or all ezQuake users will be in a disadvantage.

Perhaps do nothing now...

And try patch fuhquake later.... (yeah)

I think being able to have different skins on teammates is very much important... More important than anything else about skins

I wasn't aware that FuhQuake users could force skins on enemies by their ID? I thought this was a function unique to Qizmo. Maybe I'm confused, this is a new topic for me

Or you could just implement by-id skin/color forcing in ezQuake, so people wouldn't have to use Qizmo (complicated for newbies).

I'm a noob, how do I try this?
and btw, never ever remove the possibility to have different skins on teammates!
