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!

KTX bots

Connect to a modern KTX server (some servers don't have bots enabled, find one that does). Once you connect, use the console to type commands:

  • /botcmd enable - enables bot mode - map will restart
  • /botcmd addbot - adds a bot to the match


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

Frogbot (offline bots)

You can also download the bot modification, extract to your Quake forlder, and run the bots offline, in your own computer. For more, read the blog entry of KTX supporting Frogbots: https://www.quakeworld.nu/blog/396
