Quake 2 bot to Quake 3 bot
 
Quake 2 bot to Quake 3 bot

Dear all,

I have been developing my own Q2 bot. It's quite a simple bot as I'm relatively new to AI and have been using my Q2 bot to help further my understanding of AI technology.

However, for personal reasons (sadly not development reasons) I'm wishing to implement my bot on Q3. That's the sticking point, I can't find much material on the internet about Q3 bot development.

If anybody could help I'd be most grateful,

Yours sincerely,

David

Quake 3 Under the Hood

Indeed, there are very few tutorials, little documentation, and even fewer open source Q3 bots out there.

However, if you are familiar with Quake 2, this will be even easier. Quake 3 already has support for bots (of which you have the higher layers of code in the Q3 source), and it has a very simple structure for handling commands.

My suggestion is to get dug in to the code. I've not taken a very deep look myself, but feel free to ask us specific questions here!

Off I go

Thanks for that ... I guess I'll have to give it a go ... never know might write a guide (only slightly serious).

Q3 Guide or Source

If you decide to release a quick explanation, you've found a place to publish it ;)

And if you want to really contribute to the community, you may want to help along with my current game AI related efforts... shameless plug number four! :P
