Adding Bots to a Quake Live Server
Add automatic or custom bots to your Quake Live dedicated server with configurable difficulty levels.
In this guide we will show you how you can add bots to your Quake Live server.
Automatically Adding Bots
Using this method will add random bots to the server when it is first started.
Open the Server Config
Access the XGamingServer Panel and select your Quake Live server. In the sidebar click on Files. Select the baseq3 folder and open your server.cfg.
Add Bot Settings
Add set bot_enable 1 and set bot_minplayers 2 to the end of the file (each on their own line).
Save and Restart
Save your server.cfg and restart your server.
📝 Note: If you use this method, you will not be able to use the
kick allbotscommand as they will automatically be added back to your server.
Manually Adding Custom Bots
You can use this method to add specific types of bots to the server.
Enable Bots
Access the XGamingServer Panel and select your Quake Live server. In the sidebar click on Files. Select the baseq3 folder and open your server.cfg. Add set bot_enable 1 to the end of the file.
Save and Restart
Save your server.cfg and restart your server.
Add Bots via Console
You can now type addbot anarki 5 in the server console and it will add a single bot. You can change the difficulty of the bot by changing the number after the bot name from 1 to 5. You can remove all the bots from the server by typing kick allbots.
Here is a list of all the different character names with the command to add that bot.
