Sometimes playing with bots (computer controlled players) is a fun twist.

For playing against monsters see Coop or Bloodfest instead. For race, see Race

Bots for Quake/QuakeWorld exist since the beginning. Frikbots, Omnicrom bots, bots for CTF, ..... Today, the most common bots are Frogbots. These are integrated in the latest versions of the server modification KTX. This means you can connect to the server and and spawn some bots to start playing!

  • /botcmd enable - enables bot mode - map will restart
  • /botcmd addbot - adds a bot to the match
  • /skill 0-20 - changes the skill of the bot

currently there are plenty of maps that you can play with bots: dm6, bravado, dm4, povdmm4...
