Quake 3 Arena is a first-person multiplayer shooter developed by id Software and based on the id Tech 3 engine. It is available for various operating systems and platforms. Its bot files define data used by the game's computer-controlled opponents and teammates.
A bot file is a plain-text game resource that can contain a bot's identity and gameplay-related settings, such as its model, personality and available weapons. The game loads these definitions when it creates bot characters.
The files are part of Quake 3 Arena's game data and are not a general-purpose AI format. They may be supplied inside the game's PK3 archives and are intended for use by the original game or compatible modifications.
On Windows, extract the bot file from its PK3 archive if necessary, then open it with a plain-text editor. Notepad or another text editor can display its contents, but changing the syntax may prevent Quake 3 Arena from loading the bot correctly.
To use the file in the game, place it in the appropriate Quake 3 Arena game-data directory, following the same directory structure as the original resource.
A bot file is a game-specific text definition and has no useful general conversion format. It can be edited as text, but conversion to another file type will not create a usable Quake 3 Arena bot.
Bot definitions may be adapted manually for compatible Quake 3 Arena modifications, provided the target modification supports the same bot format and its required settings.
