The goal of this project is to archive all versions of all Quake II bots.

Quake II is a computer game released by id Software in late 1997. The source code that controls the game was released shortly after.

Bots represent a historical breakthrough in computer game artificial intelligence (e.g. opponents that act like human players) and are also a lot of fun to play (e.g. a multiplayer game that can be enjoyed as a single player game).

This project seeks to (1) locate, (2) archive, and (3) host all versions of all Quake 2 bots in their original distributed form.

If you have backups of old Quake 2 bots, you can help.

Alphabetical list of Quake II bot names, authors, and local download links for all bot files in the bin/ directory.

Many bots require routes to navigate the levels.

You can find route files, and additional bot files in subdirectories under the bin/ directory, for example:

• bin/3zb2/
• bin/ace/
• bin/cgf/
• bin/eraser/
• bin/gladiator/
• bin/secant/
• bin/wp/

You can see all research into bots and bot websites here:

• Quake Bot Research
• Bot Notes
• Bots on Quake2 Addon CDs

Perhaps you can help to make this archive more complete.

• Do you have a copy of a missing Quake 2 bot file?
• Do you know about a Quake 2 bot missing from the archive?
• Do you know a Quake 2 bot author's real name or how to contact them?

Please email Jason Brownlee via jason.brownlee05@gmail.com

Even if you have bot files already in the archive, send them through. Many bots were released with the same filename again and again.

Below are lists of known files missing from the archive.

• Quake Bot Filename Wishlist: list of known files missing from the archive.
• Quake Bot URL Wishlist: list of broken URLs for files missing from the archive.

This archive would not be as complete as it is without the generousness help from the Quake community.
