part of bot.txt from Olivier Montanuy:



---------------


ABOUT THIS BOT:


---------------



This program is meant as an automatic player (a bot) for the game Quake,


by id software. It will run with Quake version 1.0x.



This program is also a fairly good deathmatch assistant: you play the


normal


moves, and the bot handles some of the mundanities (like saying where the


weapons


are, and slaughtering any player that comes too close).


Of course, you'll have to be pretty bad, pretty low in morale or pretty


lagged, before you use that kind of cheat.
