FPD

FPD is a tool to enforce restrictions on client and proxy features in QuakeWorld.

The server sends a string called serverinfo to the clients and in this string there is an entry called FPD. From the value of the FPD clients and proxies recognize which features are enabled or disabled on the server.

Originaly it was made for the Qizmo proxy. The value of the FPD consist of 10 bits with following meaning: (*) By standard we mean what's used on most 4on4 servers and what makes most sense in current gaming environment.

Recommended and most used value for usual 4on4 server: 206

Nowadays only 256 and 512 FPD bits are a matter of "to be standardized", because of the Color Forcing issue.
