just mod the client to return 'brown' for every single pixel. its close enough that the server can't risk false positives.
would work on 98% of quake's maps, assuming you choose the right shade of brown. you can just hard code it as a palette index.

"Winners" whine a lot. Ignore all whine. I learned so, from other games that died due to answering that whine. That other example is Quake4. QUAKE 4. QUAKE 4. Wasteland of elitists.
OpenArena got a lot of flak for protecting against 'vertexlight'. That's not exactly what it says on the tin, but it wasn't abused for performance - just only killing map lighting for player spotting ease. In 2010, vertexlight makes no sense. id Tech 3 games made after Q3 dropped the vertexlight option completely for a reason.
As for the brown detection, couldn't that be circumvented by bringing down the viewsize?!
