The goal of this project is to archive all versions of all Quake bots (QuakeC modifications).
Estimated quake bot genealogy.

File Column:
- no link Indicates I discovered the filename but could not find a copy of the file to archive.
Many bots have extra files that are not part of the main bot release.
This may include sample code or code skeletons, waypoint or route files for supported maps (required for bot navigation), additional bot configurations or configuration tools, and replacement bot models or skins.
These extra files are stored in the bot archive under the bin/ directory organized by a subdirectory named for the bot.
The list below summarizes the subdirectories of extra bot files in the archive.
| Bot Name | Description | Subdirectory |
|---|---|---|
| Eliminator Bots | Map support for eliminator bots. | eliminator/ |
| FrikBots | Map support and tools for frikbots. | frikbot/ |
| FrogBots | Map support and sample code for frogbots. | frogbot/ |
| Omicron Bots | Map support for omicron bots. | omicron/ |
| Reaper Bots | Additional skins for reaper bots. | reaper/ |
| Other | Sample code and skeleton code for bots. | other/ |
Quake is a computer game released by id Software in 1996. The source code (QuakeC) that controls the game was released at around the same time.
A bot mod is a modification to the Quake game code to introduce "intelligent" opponents, typically for deathmatch play. Before the introduction of bots, deathmatch game play required access to a fast network or internet connection and other human players.
Quake bots represent a breakthrough in computer game artificial intelligence at the time (e.g. opponents that acted like humans), and are also a lot of fun to play (e.g. a multiplayer game can be enjoyed as a singleplayer game).
Quake bot mods were mostly developed between 1996 and 1998, were distributed as binary or source files, and were hosted on third-party websites.
There is no definitive list of Quake bots nor single location from which they can be downloaded.
This project seeks to archive and make available all Quake bot modifications in their original distributed form, mostly .zip files that may contain binary files and/or source code.
In addition, the project also seeks to locate and make available all versions of modifications (e.g. older versions) as well as binaries and source code for mods that may not have been made public (e.g. contributed by bot authors directly).
Perhaps you can help to make this bot archive more complete.
- Do you know of a missing Quake bot?
- Do you have a copy of a missing file from the above list?
- Do you know a bot author's real name?
- Do you have have an older or newer version of a listed bot mod?
- Do you have access to the source code for an old bot?
- Do you know how to contact a bot mod author?
- Do you have access to an archive of a Quake website from back in the day?
If you can help, please email Jason at jason.brownlee05@gmail.com
We also have a wishlist of known bot filenames and broken download URLs.
Perhaps you have one of the files listed?
- Quake bot Filename wishlist: wishlist.txt
- Quake bot URL wishlist: wishlist_urls.txt
This quake bot archive would not be as complete as it is without the generousness help from the Quake community.
Special thank you to: John Crickett, Joel Baxter aka "Johnny Law", Hannes aka "Spirit" (from quaddicted), Fabiano D. Amorim aka "vegetous", and Benjamin Darling aka "Electro".
