Some disallowed stuff:

Anything related to lighting effects or zooming (seteffect, changeimgcolors, setimgzoom etc)
Complex ganis.
Maybe setfocus, but I don't know for sure.

And probably some others. I'm sure someone will post who knows more about it than me - I've never coded for a non-P2P server.
Never coded for a non-p2p server?! omi! Well I have, for about 6 server actually. . But I will try to point out all things disabled instead of enabled...

- Problem: Light effects (seteffect, setcoloreffect, changeimgcolors, etc)
 - Fix: Though it lags, use setbackpal.
- Problem: No with(npc,getplayer,etc).
 - Fix: Use server strings (server.jailedaccounts) and test for a player's account name in such strings.
- Problem: No attaching player to an object.
 -Fix: No real fix (you can't fake the effectiveness of npc server).
- Problem: Multidirectional Ganis (like walk, etc)
 -Fix: You could make a whole bunch of ganis like walk)left, walk_right, etc.
- Problem: Canwarp, Canwarp2 (Moving npcs from level to level.)
 Fix: No REAL fix, if it is really important you could code a system that runs with the npc you want to move to a different level and use putnpc.
- Problem: There are some other things like onwall2(), but nothing that will kill you without. Believe it or not setshape and setshape2 work! .
 Fix: :: These commands are so npc servered that you can't generate them, really...

Hope it helped....
