-----written in Quake era-----
a (ro)bot is a quake addon that allows players
to play against simulated deathmatch opponent(s). the most popular bot
is the reaper bot.
although quake c bots such as the reaper must
be run on the server side, a true client side
bot can be run on the clientside. this means
that even if you don't run a server, you can use client-side bots such as
Stooge bot
while playing net quake. although the client-side Stooge bot only
enhances a player's aim, many other client-side bots such as the
mike bot
are fully autonomous and run by themselves.
client-side bots also can not cheat like some quake-c bots
can because the client does not have as much access to game
information as a quake-c bot does. many players frown upon
client-side bots that do not announce their 'botness', and most
bots obey the command 'no bots'.
-----current-----
Quake II bots continue to make progress, offering
stronger AI and more options like team play.
