PROTOCOL_DARKPLACES3
server updates entities according to some (unmentioned) scheme.

a frame consists of all visible entities, some of which are up to date,
often some are not up to date.

these entities are stored in a range (firstentity/endentity) of structs in the
entitydata[] buffer.

to make a commit the server performs these steps:
1. duplicate oldest frame in database (this is the baseline) as new frame, and
   write frame numbers (oldest frame's number, new frame's number) and eye
   location to network packet (eye location is obsolete and will be removed in
   future revisions)
2. write an entity change to packet and modify new frame accordingly
   (this repeats until packet is sufficiently full or new frame is complete)
3. write terminator (0xFFFF) to network packet
   (FIXME: this terminator value conflicts with MAX_EDICTS 32768...)

to read a commit the client performs these steps:
1. reads frame numbers from packet and duplicates baseline frame as new frame,
   also reads eye location but does nothing with it (obsolete).
2. delete frames older than the baseline which was used
3. read entity changes from packet until terminator (0xFFFF) is encountered,
   each change is applied to entity frame.
4. sends ack framenumber to server as part of input packet

if server receives ack message in put packet it performs these steps:
1. remove all older frames from database.

PROTOCOL_DARKPLACES4
a frame consists of some visible entities in a range (this is stored as start and end, note that end may be less than start if it wrapped).

these entities are stored in a range (firstentity/endentity) of structs in the entitydata[] buffer.

to make a commit the server performs these steps:
1. build an entity_frame_t using appropriate functions, containing (some of) the visible entities, this is passed to the Write function to send it.

This documention is unfinished!
the Write function performs these steps:
1. check if entity frame is larger than MAX_ENTITYFRAME or is larger than available space in database, if so the baseline is defaults, otherwise it is the current baseline of the database.
2. write differences of an entity compared to selected baseline.
3. add entity to entity update in database.
4. if there are more entities to write and packet is not full, go back to step 2.
5. write terminator (0xFFFF) as entity number.
6. return.





server updates entities in looping ranges, a frame consists of a range of visible entities (not always all visible entities),
