Single Player Bots




What are bots?
Bots are computer generated artificial lifeforms. The vast majority are designed for you to combat against in First Person Shooter genre games such as Quake. They can be used to improve you reactions, Death Matching skills, and to extend longevity of a game. They can also be designed to work in teamplay, co-operative mode, or any other third party modifications.

Aren't they cheats?
There are two different types of bots, server side and client side bots. The majority of bots projects are the legal and enjoyable server side bots. Not even all client side bots are cheats. A few which are sometimes referred to as proxy bots, and are used to cheat in multipler gaming are. I will not be covering proxy bots in this section.

Bot NameLocation Comments
CronosBot

website
A Quake bot from Cronos that provides a pretty decent challenge to average quakers, although experienced players will perhaps find the bot a little too easy. Extra features include camera support and several tournament modes coded in. In the most recent release dynamic waypoint creation has been added to the rapidly expanding list of features.
CTFBot+

Download
A much tweaked and improved CTFBot. Definately the best Quake CTF bot out there. As well as the actual bot *this has also created the CTFBot+ Co-Ordinator for setting up the bot. Lots of features and lots more static routes for to play lots of the famous Quake CTF levels (and paks). Also see this page.
Dark Bot

website
A Quake deathmatch bot by DS that was intended "to train players for clan ring and DM net play, and allow male/female Quake players." The last version was released quite recently as was the source to the bot. DarkBot was the first in DS' projects that led to SABIN and now Athena.
FrikBotX

website
An advanced, late developed bot by Ryan 'Frika C' Smith. It can be plugged into existing mod code with incredible ease. Very good client simulation make this bot seem almost human.
Frog Bot

website
The Frog Bot is generally regarded as one of the more realistic Quake bots. The achilles heel of Frog Bot is the lack of maps supported. Currently the bot can only play on DM4, DM6 and ZTNDM3. But many user made progs.dat files have popped up with much more map support. Apart from this the bot is simply excellent. The Frogbot can currently play deathmatch and teamplay. A QuakeWorld port is also available. Early Frogbot physics code is available from CDROM.Com.
Frog Bot Clan Arena

website
Together with the HolyWars + Frogbot mod this is one of the most popular FBMODS around combining the Frogbot with the very popular Clan Arena. In the latest version the bots are now able to rocket-jump too.
Omicron Bot

website
A brilliant bot and worthy of a download. A lot of good features incorporated into the bot from Mr. Elusive. The bot can play any level although you will need to create hardcoded waypoints if you want the bot to know each level before hand. Omicron can play deathmatch, teamplay and Rocket Arena.
Quake Bot

website
This bot is an improvement over the original ReaperBot v0.81. Many fixes and additional features over the original, putting it on a par with bots like the Omicron and Zeus.
Reaper Bot

website
Before the Omicron and bots like Frog came along, this was the best Quake bot available. It propelled Steven Polge to a job at Epic (to work on Unreal) and spawned many addons where the Reaper source was modified to create even better versions. The Reaper is not without it's faults though and compared to the Reaper hacks released it can pale in comparison. Many still love the bot and swear by it. The bot plays deathmatch and teamplay.
Tutor Bot

website
A bot created by Coffee purely for the purposes of teaching Quake bot coding. It has gathered a large following (together with the tutorials on Coffee's site that allow users to provide all sorts of modifications). There are now other sites offering Tutor Bot tutorials and even the occasional Tutor Bot mod is appearing from other authors.
Xreaper

website
The Xreaper is an improvement of the reformed reaper. This bot is hosted on botarea51.
Zeus Bot

website
One of the more popular Quake bots, that plays DM, Teamplay and more importantly CO-OP. Widely regarded as the best co-op Quake bot. After Zeus (and other Quake mods) Nelno went on to work for ION Storm.
